Chapter 697: Holding on and not letting go

"Don't worry, auntie. He will never get out in this lifetime." said the leading guard.

Aunt Wang was completely relieved after hearing this: "That's good, that's good."

The leading guard turned around and looked at the three children in the corner. He took out some silver and a bag of food from his pocket and walked over to put them on the ground.

The boy was very alert.

The leader turned around and looked at Ye Qianning again: "I'm sorry to have frightened the young lady."

"It's okay." Ye Qianning was fine, but the three children were the only ones that were bothering him. After a moment's thought, he said, "The child in his arms is breathing weakly. It's better to take him to the doctor as soon as possible."

The leading guard was stunned and his eyes fell on the boy's arms.

"The child is too young to eat hard food, so it's best to feed him some soft and glutinous porridge." Ye Qianning said again.

"I'll have someone find it."

The leading guard reacted and felt a little annoyed. None of them had ever taken care of a very young child and didn't know much about these things.

Seeing this, Ye Qianning felt relieved: "Are you from the government?"

"No, we are the guards of Xianhai Tower, responsible for the security of Dayu City."

"Xianhai Tower? Is your owner's surname Gu?"

"Not really, we all came from the Crescent Moon Sect at the border."

"Xianyue Sect?" A sect that Ye Qianning had never heard of.

The leading man turned around and ordered, "Make some porridge and put it here every day."

"yes."

Ye Qianning glanced at the children. Since someone had asked about them, she didn't need to worry. This group of people looked very reliable.

He reached into the cloth bag, took out a sand apple, took a bite, then turned and was about to leave.

She had just taken a few steps when she realized someone was running towards her. There was no murderous intent, and she did not use any internal strength. When she turned around, she saw a dirty little hand falling on her clothes.

Ye Qianning was a little surprised. The fierce boy held the swaddling clothes in one hand and tightly grasped her clothes with the other hand, staring at her with a tenacious gaze.

Several guards and Aunt Wang were stunned.

"Does the girl know this child?"

These children came ashore days ago and were discovered by people who were searching Haikou that day. However, the children were too vigilant and would not let anyone approach them. They had no way of taking them away, so they left some food here every day.

"I don't recognize him. This is the first time I've seen him." Ye Qianning met the boy's gaze and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sister...sister..." The boy's voice was very hoarse and he shouted out two words dryly.

"I'm not your sister."

"Sister...sister..." the boy shouted again as if he had made up his mind.

"Girl, this child has been in Haikou for a few days. Our people want to settle him down, but they can't get close to him at all. He is very wary of everyone, but he trusts you very much. I wonder if you can take them to the inn first. I will ask the doctor to check their injuries." The leading young man pleaded.

Ye Qianning stared at him for a while, trying to pull her clothes out, but the child's hands were so strong that she had to give up. "Sister, can I take you to the inn?"

The boy nodded.

The child behind him was crying loudly, sobbing and grabbing the boy's clothes with his little hands.

"Young lady, please follow us," said the guard.

Ye Qianning had no other choice but to follow the guards. The boy grabbed her clothes and followed her step by step. The children behind her also did the same, with the younger one pulling the older one.

She was very curious. With so many people around, why did the boy choose to pull her?

Is her face really that approachable?

Ye Qianning followed the guards into the city and found that the city was much more lively than the port. At a glance, the various shops on both sides of the street were crowded with people.

There is an inn every few days, and there are always a lot of people in the inn.
