C17 (2/2)

There was confusion and concern, and it seemed to be no mistake.

The Azure Dragon said, ”Now that these people have arrived in Yi Zhou City, they are much safer outside than here!”

Xiao Lan smiled gratefully. Actually, she could tell that the one in more danger was herself. But she didn't care. As long as her master was safe, she would be very happy.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Liu'er. Her smile became a bit bitter. She didn't know why, but she wanted him to stay but also wanted him to leave.

Could she keep him? Did he want to leave?

The crocodile did not say anything. It narrowed its eyes, as if it was already very tired. However, no matter how tired he was, he still stood there stubbornly. After a long while, he said slowly, ”You guys can go now. Go and get him.” He didn't open his eyes. He didn't even seem to have the strength to raise his eyelids.

Liu'er did not know who he was referring to by ”he”. The others did not ask, nor did they say any unnecessary words, and retreated. Liu'er followed behind Xiao Lan with a blank look on her face, but she did not ask about it. Because he seemed to be able to feel the uneasiness in Xiao Lan's heart, his doubts and curiosity were completely replaced by worry.

He used to worry about whether he was hungry, but now he was worried about her, even though he was hungry. Liu'er did not know why, but she felt that it was better for women to laugh.

As a man, if he couldn't make a woman happy, then no matter what, he couldn't be considered a success.

Especially the woman he cared about.

Xiao Lan seemed to feel Liu'er's worry too. She let out a long breath, turned around to look at him, smiled, and said, ”You don't want to know who the Palace Chief is looking for?”

Liu'er replied, ”Yes.”

Xiao Lan asked again, ”Then why didn't you ask?”

”I don't want to ask.”

These two sentences were not contradictory. Sometimes it's impossible to ask what you want to know.

Xiao Lan giggled, and it was like the peach blossoms in the beginning of spring, causing people to feel refreshed, and she said, ”The Palace Chief is meeting the other person from the Four Protectors, Black Turtle! That person is both deaf and mute. Whenever the Martial House Master wants to speak, he will always come looking for him. ”

These words were not contradictory. Sometimes, there were people who would hold their breath for too long just to say what they wanted to say, but didn't want others to hear it.
