Chapter 272: Engaging in Second Watch (3)_1
"Understood!"
He softly agrees, turning around to issue the command to his guards.
While the guards were surprised by the orders from their master, they dared not question them and hurriedly went about their tasks to save the villagers.
Luo Xue lagged behind, her head was bandaged, and her face was extremely pale. It seemed as though she was unwell. After progressing a few steps, she suddenly turned around and stealthily gave Cai Wei a look indicating that she wanted to speak with her alone.
Cai Wei had always disliked her, so she ignored Luo Xue’s gesture.
"Wei’er, what do we do next?" asked Nangong Yi.
Ever since witnessing Cai Wei’s capabilities, even someone as decisive as him had begun to understand the importance of consultation and compromise.
However, Cai Wei said, "It’s not us, it’s me. All you and your guards need to do is save the villagers. Leave Tianjizi to me; I will avenge the villagers of Mu Family Village."
Nangong Yi was naturally worried about her going after Tianjizi alone. Tianjizi was cunning and full of tricks. Rushing to confront him would only be a trap. He would never agree to this.
"Wei’er, though I may not be able to compete with Tianjizi, at the very least, I can catch you when you fall. Isn’t that worth something? Let’s stay together."
Seeing his insistence on going with her, Cai Wei became serious and said solemnly, "Nangong Yi, have you forgotten the bloody letter your mother wrote to you? Have you forgotten the responsibilities you bear? You are not the only one tied to your life. Have you ever thought about how they would live if you recklessly risked your life? Are your actions fair to them?"
Cai Wei’s repeated questioning left Nangong Yi reeling with pain, a complicated expression forming on his face.
