AST 1693 - Can you be my Protector as well?

This could also be considered a fortune. She had encountered the Dragonwolf Old Ancestor by chance while roaming the Giant Beast Mountain Range at the west of the Greencloud Continent. This was a major reason as to why she could become the Great Palace Master now.

It was just that the Dragonwolf Ancestor didn’t have long to live and was on his deathbed. This was also the reason why he had granted Qing Hanye his inheritance, which made her so powerful now.

The Dragonwolf Ancestor had only granted a portion of his strength to Qing Hanye. But even so, right now Qing Hanye’s strength was immeasurably deep. Sadly, the Dragonwolf Ancestor had passed away ten years ago.

Right now there were two factions in the Eastern Peak Dragonwolf Palace. Qing Hanye as the Great Palace Master was one faction, while the other faction was headed by the Second Palace Master. When the Dragonwolf Ancestor was alive, nobody dared to entertain any such thoughts or say anything, as Qing Hanye’s strength was overwhelming. But after ten years, it was inevitable to have such conflicts, as a mountain cannot have two tigers.

Right now, there were more people supporting the Second Palace Master. After all, Qing Hanye was just a woman who was also an outsider. Although she had obtained the inheritance of the Dragonwolf Ancestor, they still found it hard to approve of her.

“The Second Palace Master is truly a character. If I wasn’t a woman, most probably he wouldn’t have waited ten years to do this. But now, he can finally endure it no longer. Sadly, he doesn’t know that he has just wasted the best opportunity.” Qing Hanye stood beside Qing Shui. Both of them stood side by side, glancing at the foot of the mountain not far away.

“I believe this. It’s only expected that a normal man would do this.”

Qing Hanye turned and glanced at Qing Shui. From the start, other than some agitation on her face, she looked extremely calm; as calm as water.

Emotions between males and females were too complex. She was fond of Qing Shui, but she had experienced much, too much in these thirty years. The death of her grandfather and many other things caused her state of heart to be no longer as pure as before.

Humans would always grow up; there would be times when they grew more mature. She didn’t know that she had grown up, or that her love for him had faded as time passed. When she didn’t see him, she would long for him. But when he was right in front of her eyes, her state of heart was calm instead.

“You are just like back then, truly a demon.” Qing Hanye retracted her gaze and spoke lightly.

Qing Shui could also sense the transformations in this woman. That sort of fluctuation in the inner heart was extremely obvious. He wasn’t disappointed but felt somewhat relaxed instead. He smiled, “I climbed up here step by step.”

Qing Hanye seemed as though she wanted to smile. At that very instant, extreme charm radiated out from her for just a moment. Even Qing Shui couldn’t help but to be slightly stunned.

Qing Hanye and him felt like they were strangers now. But then again, it was only to be expected. She didn’t really have much interaction with Qing Shui and the separation had already lasted tens of years. It was only natural that the two of them became strangers.

Although it was so, she still felt a sense of familiarity to him, an extreme familiarity. Earlier, she also thought of that dream that happened between them, but as her personality was always filled with charm, there wasn’t too much change to her expression.

That dream was sufficient to make her collapse and she would never forget it, ever. She always had him in her mind for so many years, waiting for his news but sadly, she had never manage to find any traces of him. After all, she had already left the Greencloud Continent after that, while this place was the North Ocean Region of the Haohan Continent.

She couldn’t ignore him, but she felt like she no longer knew him. There was a point of her that hadn’t changed. She still trusted this man. This man wouldn’t have any designs on her and even if he had, she wouldn’t mind it.

“I wonder what you plan to do regarding this problem of the Dragonwolf Palace.” Qing Hanye changed topic and spoke of the problem today.

Qing Shui didn’t feel strange. He then questioned her, “What do you mean what I plan to do?”
