“She helped me in my ti difficulties now?”

“There are other ways to help -to bother with you any Si-Yao walked off with a toss of her head

Xia Lei was uneasy and he got up to pull her by the hand as he put on a sry, Senior Disciple It’s not real”

Liang Si-Yao spun back and said in a small voice, “Even if it’s true, what does it have to do with me?”
