"Xiao Yun, have I said something wrong?"
Seeing that Gu Ruoyun's sudden silence, a wave of panic began to build up in Qianbei Ye’s heart so he decided to word his questions carefully.
Gu Ruoyun shook her head, her gaze was filled with complicated emotions, "Xiao Ye, back when Ling Yi was about to strike me, why did you protect me? Why are you treating me so nicely?"
"I don’t know." Qianbei Ye looked at the girl’s delicate face, with red eyes that showed his resolve, "I only know that I've wanted to protect you from the first moment I saw you."
The depths of Gu Ruoyun’s heart began to shake, and she slowly closed her eyes.
In the past, someone had also promised to protect and take care of her but... in the end, she had caused the death of her little brother, simply because she had placed her trust in the wrong person.
"Xiao Ye, I’ve been here for more than a month now. I don’t know if the Hundred Herb Hall has encountered any trouble, I’m going over for a visit first."
