Chapter 1443: True Feelings
"Qing'er." Li Luo raised his head to look at the lithe figure who was standing in the corner of the stairs. From this point of view, he was able to make out Qing'er's slender legs covered in stockings and her exceptionally lustrous, snow-like skin.
He smiled as he walked forward, standing side by side with her. He glanced at the icy, blue eyes of this girl whom he had known for many years, but for some reason, he could sense that she had changed. Lu Qing'er used to have a slightly girlish charm, but now she both looked and felt colder than before. Her once beaming smile had also faded quite a bit.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Qing'er asked.
"How have you been? The last time we saw each other at the Spiritual Resonance Cave, you were still sealed in ice. Were you harmed in any way?" Li Luo asked with concern. He had wanted to ask this earlier, but there were simply too many outsiders then. He thus chose to wait for a more opportune time to speak.
Lu Qing'er gently shook her head. "I have yet to thank you for what happened there."
Li Luo grinned. "Is there a need to be so polite? You sent Lu Shuanglu and Zhang Cuicheng to travel such a long distance to assist me. I still have to thank you for that."
Her eyes flickered briefly. "That had nothing to do with me. They were on a mission and thus they went to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent."
Li Luo was a little startled because Zhang Cuicheng had clearly explained the reason, yet Lu Qing'er wasn’t admitting to it. At the very least, she was still as proud as before. The two ascended the stairs together as tiny bits of light shining through the window illuminated the corridor.
Hearing the familiar voice next to her, the frostiness within Lu Qing'er's eyes seemed to have melted unconsciously and her steps gradually slowed down. This entire scene felt nostalgic to her.
