Pei Xingyuan blinked, then suddenly lifted his head and took a look.
Then he nodded. "All right!"
Liang Youying was both shocked and overjoyed. Although she had never really thought Pei Xingyuan would leave with her—in fact, before what had just happened, even if such a thought had crossed her mind, she wouldn't have dared act on it. After all, she understood better than anyone that Pei Xingyuan was innocent, that he had a bright future ahead of him. Until she resolved her own affairs, as a high official of the Dasheng Dynasty, a trusted confidant of King Qin, a Gatekeeper's Son, it was impossible for him to wander the martial world with her.
She had never expected that her desperate strike and reckless plea would actually win his response.
Liang Youying almost couldn't believe her own ears. In contrast, Pei Xingyuan, as if having steeled his resolve, reversed his grip to seize her hand. "You—you have to protect me!"
