Chapter 1171: A Prelude to War II
“Qiuqiu…” Feng Ruqing smiled softly as she touched the young girl’s head. “I must leave this place. My family and friends are waiting for me.”
The young girl held her hands tightly, breathing hard.
She still wanted to leave this place!
After all, she would end up being the one who was left behind.
The countless years of loneliness had struck fear in her heart. She was like a child who was lost in a thick fog. It was not easy for someone to come and pull her out, so she had never wanted to let her go.
Unfortunately… She was being left behind to be alone again!
“But, don’t worry… ” Feng Ruqing smiled widely. “I will get you out of this world by any means. But now I have to go back first to settle some things. I can’t stay here longer. Qiuqiu, trust me. I’ll be back for you to get you out of this world!”
She had been here for a year, and she did not know whether Mu Ling was still bullying Suyi or not. She was worried, so she must leave this place.
Only after everything in the Mu family had settled, she would then be able to come back again peacefully.
In truth, Feng Ruqing did not know why she would feel so affectionate toward this beautiful young girl either.
At first… She thought it was all because of Qiuqiu’s power that had made her attracted to her. But now… She finally understood that she truly loved her.
Maybe… Qiuqiu and Qing Han were alike, both were spirit herbs, and she naturally had a soft spot for these lovely spirit herbs.
“Really?”
All the disappointment and hatred in the girl’s eyes immediately disappeared. She lifted her head. Her eyes were bright and brilliant, and her smile was like a blooming flower. “Will you come back and take me with you?”
“Yes. I’ll be back.”
Feng Ruqing’s gaze was so firm, to the point that it caused Qiuqiu’s grief to fade away completely.
She would never abandon her.
Her master had something to do. She just had to go away for a while, and she would come back to get her out of here.
That was enough…
She was no longer alone in this world.
“Well, I trust you. I don’t believe anyone else… Except you. I wanted to follow you from the first moment we met.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know. You have always made me feel warm, and I like you a lot.”
Since the first encounter at the You family’s basement, she was destined to live for her.
Nothing would change, till death do them apart.
“It’s getting late. You should rest first,” Feng Ruqing said, touching Qiuqiu’s head.
Qiuqiu rubbed her head against Feng Ruqing’s hand like a lazy cat, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
“Cough!”
Suddenly, a light cough sounded from behind Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing turned around and saw Nan Xian and Mu Qingyin standing behind her.
She suddenly froze and looked down at the young girl nestled in her arms before she lifted her head to look at Nan Xian. Once she met Nan Xian’s gaze, she surprisingly had a feeling of being caught red-handed.
“Would you believe me if I say I did nothing and that I’m definitely innocent?”
Qiuqiu was speechless.
She looked at Feng Ruqing whose eyes were fixed upon Nan Xian. She then looked at her own dirty dress and burst out crying in an extremely distressing way.
