Chapter 1068
Qing Mei and Cheng Yan
“Qing Mei, are you thinking of him again?” Daoist Qing Song joined his daughter on a rock located on a hill at Formation Sect.
Qing Mei shifted her gaze up from the river below to her father. “Dad.”
“Cheng Yan has special abilities; he’ll be fine,” assured Daoist Qing Song.
“Does he no longer want to be with me, Dad?”
“Dad doesn’t know. He lives in a world different to ours. Dad will protect you.”
Qing Mei did her best to catch up to Cheng Yan ever since he left so that she would not become a burden to him. The difference in level between Daoist Qing Song and daughter versus Cheng Yan was enormous, which was why he could not blame Cheng Yan if the latter chose to break up with his daughter; he did not even dare to assume the position of an elder in Cheng Yan’s presence. At times, he wondered if betrothing Qing Mei to Cheng Yan was a mistake. Having lived a decently long life, Daoist Qing Song had been at the pinnacle once and knew that people could view things differently depending on how high up they stood.
“He promised to be the man I need all his life, only to leave without a goodbye in the end and never visit once. I don’t know what I did wrong. I’ve done my best to catch up to him so that I wouldn’t be a burden. If he doesn’t need me anymore, I’d rather he tells me…” Tears coursed down Qing Mei’s cheeks.
Daoist Qing Song draped his arm over his daughter’s shoulder. “I may not be his match, but I won’t allow him to mistreat you.”
