Chapter 128
“What did you just say?”
Xu Ming looked at the young woman in front of him, momentarily unable to process her words, even wondering if he had misheard.
“I said I can protect you,” Qin Qingwan replied, her eyes curving into crescents. “You’re a friend of Senior Sister Qin, which makes you my friend too. Isn’t it natural for me to protect you? If something happens to you and I return to the sect, Senior Sister Qin definitely won’t let me off the hook.”
Xu Ming: “…”
“Hey! What’s with that expression?” Qin Qingwan put her hands on her hips. “Don’t underestimate me. I’m really strong, you know!”
“I wasn’t underestimating you…”
Xu Ming’s gaze met the young woman’s eyes. Her peach blossom-shaped eyes seemed to speak, as though a field of peach blossoms was blooming, petals dancing in the wind.
The longer he looked, the more familiar she felt.
“As long as you’re not looking down on me, Xu Gongzi (Young Master), that’s fine. But don’t stare at me like that—it’s making me shy.” Qin Qingwan lowered her delicate head, her long, curved eyelashes fluttering gently, like butterflies dancing among flowers.
