Chapter 196 - 195: Center Ruins Realm
"Lord!" Suddenly, Dongfang Hanwei rushed from her father's side and stood in front of Yun Wuji, looking at him with earnest, hopeful eyes. They sparkled with a kind of fire as she gathered her courage and said, "Can I go with you as well, Lord Jiao?"
'Sigh, this little girl!' Dongfang Zhuo, the Monarch, looked at his daughter and let out a long sigh, feeling a mix of complicated emotions.
On one hand, he was very happy to see his daughter with a powerful man like Jiao Heng. Not only could this elevate his kingdom to greater heights, but it also ensured his daughter's safety in the future. Yet, on the other hand, he was reluctant to part with her, she was his most beloved child!
In the end, he let out a sigh, 'This is the sorrow of having a daughter.'
Facing those earnest eyes, Yun Wuji felt, for some reason, that he couldn't look at them directly. He had never had any significant interaction with this girl, how had she ended up like this?
Honestly, he didn't want to take her with him, she was too weak. He wasn't going on a leisurely trip; he was heading straight into trouble. Bringing her along would only make her a burden.
But he also couldn't bring himself to turn her down...
'In that case, let's include her in my plans. Maybe she'll become useful.'
Watching Yun Wuji remain silent for so long, Dongfang Hanwei felt a wave of dejection. She clenched her hands tightly over her chest and lowered her head to hide the tears welling in her eyes. But then, suddenly, she heard Yun Wuji's voice: "Sure, you can come."
"Really?!" She lifted her head, her slightly red eyes wide with surprise, and exclaimed with a bright smile. "Thank you, my Lord!"
For some reason, everyone present, including Yun Wuji, felt that her smile was radiantly beautiful.
