Kuang Tianguang frowned, "After this escort assignnt is over, we’ll head to the Capital to find the Divine Doctor. He will surely be able to cure your illness."
Long Xixin’s face showed a bitter expression as he murmured, "Only I truly understand my own condition."
Without waiting for Kuang Tianguang to respond, Long Xixin suddenly looked at him intently, "Kuang, if sothing really happens to , the heavy responsibility of the escort agency can only be entrusted to you. If Liang Cai that boy never amounts to anything, useless as mud that can’t be helped up against a wall, you need not hesitate anymore, just replace him directly. The agency must not be destroyed—let the Longwu Escort Agency be renad the Kuang family in the future!"
Boom! A fierce flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the tall figure of a woman outside the inner hall.
Long Yuanyuan leaned lightly against the wall, her face expressionless.
The woman slowly gripped the hilt of her sword at her waist.
In the hall, Kuang Tianguang’s face changed, and he said solemnly, "Big brother, don’t talk nonsense. The Longwu Escort Agency is your blood and sweat, it can only carry the ’Long’ surna. Brother, rest assured, no matter when or under what circumstances, I will do everything in my power to help Liang Cai and support him in leading the Longwu Escort Agency."
Long Xixin passed the tea next to him to Kuang Tianguang, tiredly saying, "Kuang, I should have listened to you earlier, properly disciplined Liang Cai and not allowed him to ss around outside. Now, it wouldn’t be so heartbreaking."
Kuang Tianguang accepted the teacup, saying, "Liang Cai is just a bit playful. How about I take him on escort missions for a while to temper his character?"
Kuang Tianguang still held great affection for his nephew whom he had watched grow up.
Unfortunately, ever since his brother’s wife passed away, his brother had coddled the child too much, allowing him to misbehave daily with questionable friends.
Long Xixin joked, "With his attitude, it’s not only his character that might need tempering, but I’m afraid your temper might flare up first, Kuang."
Kuang Tianguang laughed, sipping his hot tea and said, "Everything has to start sowhere, it’s ti he was trained."
"Yes, this can’t go on any longer."
Long Xixin coughed several tis, looking at the fresh blood on his handkerchief, then walked over to a dusty Buddha statue. He fell silent for a while before saying, "Kuang, I want to discuss a marriage for Liang Cai. With a wife, maybe he would settle down a bit, beco more steady."
Kuang Tianguang was startled for a mont, then nodded, "You’re right, having a family does give one a sense of responsibility. I wonder which girl you have in mind? Once this escort trip is over, we’ll personally go and ask for her hand.""
Long Xixin looked at him, a smile appearing on his face, "Let’s not consider outsiders; I don’t trust them. I think Que’er is quite good."
——
The empty ditation room was faintly scented with sandalwood.
Avoiding everyone, Zhang Que’er ca alone to the room and sat on the wooden bed, fingers idly flipping a paper crane, lost in thought.
Outside, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the room was cloaked in darkness.
The girl seed like a wing-clipped sparrow, curled up in a dusty nest, cautiously poking her head out to look at the sky, then hurriedly retracting, afraid of falling.
"Thud thud..."
The wooden door of the ditation room was suddenly knocked on.
Zhang Que’er seed not to hear it.
The door was pushed open; Long Yuanyuan entered with a cup of hot tea, offering it, "Won’t you warm up?"
Seeing that she was ignored, Long Yuanyuan placed the teacup on the table, sat next to the girl, curled up her legs, and said softly, "Thank you."
"Thank for what?"
Zhang Que’er’s lips slightly parted.
Long Yuanyuan’s gaze shifted to the dark corners of the room, saying, "Thank you for not telling them what you saw."
"What did I see?"
Zhang Que’er asked again, her tone sowhat languid.
Long Yuanyuan bit her lower lip.
"Oh, I rember now." Zhang Que’er tilted her head, staring at the woman’s profile, and said with a smile, "I saw you naked, with two n in bed... they seed to be two corpses drained of their essence... you’re quite sothing."
Long Yuanyuan clenched her fists, a look of pain in her eyes.
Zhang Que’er leaned her head against the cold wall, speaking indifferently, "Recounting these things to is useless. In the future, just don’t disgust by flaunting them in front of ."
Long Yuanyuan smiled wistfully, "Don’t worry, I will try to avoid you. But no matter what, I’m truly grateful to you."
The woman looked down at her body and murmured,
"I really am dirty. If only I had listened to father, Kuang, Fu Huren, and you guys earlier, I wouldn’t be in such a state. Perhaps, this is the retribution I deserve."
Zhang Que’er’s eyes were half-closed as she spoke coldly, "Telling this is pointless."
The teacup stead gently.
The girl’s features beca sowhat blurred.
Long Yuanyuan stared blankly for a long ti, then stood up and said, "But why should it be my retribution? Sotis, life really isn’t fair."
She looked at Zhang Que’er’s innocent, beautiful face, her voice suddenly softening, "Sister Que’er, maybe you won’t tell anyone. And even if you do, they wouldn’t believe you. But... I can’t sleep peacefully. I really can’t sleep peacefully, I need to make sure, you will never tell."
Zhang Que’er sneered, "What? Thinking of killing to silence ?"
Zhang Que’er looked at the steaming teacup beside her, "There’s sothing in this tea, isn’t there?"
"Longing for Love Powder..."
Long Yuanyuan said, "Even if you don’t drink it, its fragrance will affect you. You are not a cultivator, and its effects will be more pronounced on you. Just wait and you will see."
Sister Que’er, with Kuang around, I won’t kill you.
But I want you to beco like ... Only if you beco like will you feel my pain, sympathize with !
And then you won’t... tell anyone."
