If not for her vow since childhood to advance to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, with a resolute heart, she would have long succumbed.
Zheng Yi smiled and gestured for Tuoba Qingying to come over.
Tuoba Qingying struggled mentally for a moment, ultimately sighing and coming beside Zheng Yi, sitting down.
Zheng Yi took Tuoba Qingying's small hand, playing with it as he asked, "When you advanced to Foundation Establishment, apart from those of us in the Imperial Palace, who else is aware?"
Tuoba Qingying tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Just a few in my Tuoba family, that's all."
"Didn't tell other families?"
"My great uncle is severely injured and has been recuperating until now, how could he have the time?"
"That's good, from today onwards, you will stay in Linxiao Hall as my Protector."
"Protector?"
Tuoba Qingying's eyes widened: "Are you going to break through?"
"Indeed."
