Chapter 72: A Promise
When two pairs of eyes met in the air, time seemed to stand still. The next second, a silver needle appeared between Duan Yixin’s index finger and middle finger.
Holding the bamboo plate in her left hand, Duan Yixin looked at Jian Liu and said calmly, "You finally appeared in front of me. Speak. What do you want to do by investigating and following me? Where are your other companions?"
Jian Liu glanced at the silver needle between her fingers, clasped his fists, and said, "I’m sorry for causing trouble to the Young Lady. We are only investigating you to ensure that you can help us."
Of course, what Jian Liu said was not entirely true since he didn’t know why Jian Yi wanted to investigate Duan Yixin. As for Duan Yixin, she didn’t believe Jian Liu’s words at all.
Looking at the tall man wearing a black mask in front of her, Duan Yixin said, "If you need my help, you should come to me openly instead of investigating me secretly."
Jian Liu nodded and said, "Young Lady is right. I’m sorry if we have offended you. Please accept my apology."
Duan Yixin didn’t expect him to admit his mistake so readily. She opened her mouth to speak, but Jian Liu’s stomach made a sound before her words came out.
Gru~ Gru~
A grumbling sound came from his stomach, and the tips of Jian Liu’s ears turned red slightly. Two pairs of eyes fell into his flat belly, and the two of them fell into silence.
