At that mont, the two had to part, and the little girl was crying her eyes out.
Zhang Que’er, holding the heartbroken Er Liang, smiled as she comforted her, "That’s enough, don’t cry anymore. If you keep crying, you won’t look pretty. My Er Liang has finally beco beautiful; you can’t turn ugly now."
"Que’er sister, will you co to see ?"
Er Liang, with a choked voice and cute little face covered in tear drops, asked.
Zhang Que’er, stroking the girl’s hair, said softly:
"Of course, I will. Yuzhou is not far from the Capital. Even if Jiang Mo doesn’t bring you to see , I will co to see you. I am not as timid as you, little girl."
"Master will definitely bring to see you."
Er Liang, with teary eyes, blushed and muttered softly, "Que’er sister, when I grow up a bit more, I can co see you by myself. I’m just too scared right now."
"What a little scaredy-cat."
Zhang Que’er stretched out her tender finger, gently tapped on Er Liang’s little nose, then smilingly hooked her little finger with the other’s, "Then let’s agree on that."
"Okay."
Er Liang nodded vigorously.
Looking at the tearful girl in front of her, Zhang Que’er montarily beca distracted.
In a blur, another little girl seed to appear on her, just as tearful, clinging tightly to her sister, unwilling to let go, just as kind and endearing...
Zhang Que’er gently wiped the tears from the girl’s face, with tears shimring in her own eyes, she murmured, "Take good care of yourself, Que’er."
"Que’er sister, I am Er Liang," the girl sobbed.
Zhang Que’er smiled warmly.
Suddenly, as if she rembered sothing, Er Liang pulled out an unfinished bracelet from her bosom, crying apologetically, "I’m sorry, Que’er sister, I was planning to finish weaving it on the way to Yucheng, but I’ve only done half so far..."
The girl felt increasingly vexed, wishing she had slept less and not been so lazy.
"It’s so beautiful."
Zhang Que’er joyfully received the half-done bracelet, put it on her delicate white wrist, swayed her arm, and said with a laugh, "But this is the first gift Er Liang has given , I will keep it forever."
Seeing Que’er sister genuinely liking it, Er Liang showed a happy smile.
When saying goodbye to Jiang Shouzhong, Zhang Que’er took out the paper crane, pouted unhappily, and said, "Jiang Mo, you should have written our nas on it. You can’t be so careless when giving a gift to a girl."
"Next ti I’ll give you sothing better."
Jiang Shouzhong straightened the hair by the girl’s temples, glanced at Long Yuanyuan in the distance, and said, "Take good care of yourself, and if... if you really don’t want to stay there, don’t force yourself."
"So, Master Jiang is willing to support , huh?"
Zhang Que’er lifted her pretty face, her beautiful lips curling up slightly, revealing a mischievous and sly air.
Without waiting for the man to respond, she took his arm, hooked her tender little pinky with his, and then, pressed her thumb lightly on his as if leaving a seal.
"Jiang Mo, you must not go back on your word," she said.
Her mischievous almond eyes full of playfulness, exuding a charming deanor.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled helplessly, "You’ve been hoping I’d say just that. If you truly don’t want to go to the Longwu Escort Agency, then stay with Er Liang in the Capital."
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll end up killing Er Liang?"
Zhang Que’er suddenly said.
Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback, shook his head lightly, "I think not."
Zhang Que’er’s smile faded, she said lightly, "You saw it that day during the duel, I had the intent to kill Er Liang, so you insisted on sending away. Whether it’s out of jealousy or so other reason, I can’t stay by Er Liang’s side.
All along this journey, I never opposed your arrangents, even giving up on searching for my mother’s corpse, because I myself am afraid of staying by Er Liang’s side, fearing I might hurt her.
In my heart, she is like a sister to , just like another little from childhood..."
Zhang Que’er wiped away the silent tears rolling down her face and said with a smile, "So, my leaving is the right choice. Rest assured, Jiang Mo, I will take your advice seriously and cut down on the violence. Moreover, speaking of which, I am luckier than Er Liang, at least I still have a family mber who cares about ."
Jiang Shouzhong looked towards Kuang Tianguang waiting by the carriage and nodded slightly.
No matter how the family of Long Yuanyuan was, at least Kuang Tianguang could be trusted. His affectionate eyes towards his niece unmistakably showed that he sincerely cared for her.
This was the reason why Jiang Shouzhong was ultimately at ease entrusting Zhang Que’er to him.
"Take good care of yourself."
Jiang Shouzhong gently patted the girl’s fragrant shoulder.
When parting ways with Yelü Miaomiao, the two won did not perform any deeply affectionate farewells.
After all, their relationship was not very close. Moreover, Yelü Miaomiao was soon returning to Yanrong, and thereafter, they would likely be strangers with no more intersecting paths.
However, Yelü Miaomiao generously gave her a valuable pearl.
Zhang Que’er, not expecting a gift, hesitated for a mont, then reciprocated with a finely crafted small purse, laughing, "It’s a little gift of little value, but I made a huge profit."
"No worries, my family has plenty of these. If you ever visit Yanrong and encounter trouble, co find ."
Yelü Miaomiao stepped forward and hugged Zhang Que’er.
After the pleasantries were exchanged, they bid each other farewell, each setting out on their separate journeys.
Watching the Longwu Escort Agency cart carrying Zhang Que’er slowly move away, the three of them felt sowhat somber. Er Liang, constantly wiping her tears, held tightly to the sword Zhang Que’er had given her.
