Xiao Ning raised his head and his eyes met Chu Qian's gentle eyes. The tension in his heart gradually receded like a tide. He took a deep breath and then began to tell the story about Yue Lin.
"Her name is Yue Lin, and she is a human weapon refined by Li Mu. At the critical moment when I was rescuing my master, I knocked her out. I originally just wanted to bring her back and conduct an in-depth study on how Li Mu refined humans."
Xiao Ning's voice was low and firm, as if every word carried the heaviness in his heart.
"However, today I was surprised to find that she still retained human emotions, which means that she has not been completely refined. So, I made a deal with her, promising to help her get rid of Li Mu's control, and she must obey me unconditionally."
A hint of determination flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes. He knew that this was a risky decision, but he also believed in his own judgment.
After a long while, Chu Qian nodded slightly, expressing her understanding and approval. She slowly turned her gaze to Yue Lin, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. Then, she raised her arm, with an elegant and decisive movement, and shot a bright beam of light towards Yue Lin's right wrist.
Yue Lin felt a sharp pain and she raised her arm involuntarily to look at her wrist. She saw a black mark on it, like a mysterious spell, emitting a frightening aura.
"I have placed a spell on you. If you have any thoughts that are unfavorable to Ning'er, the spell will explode instantly and kill you directly."
Chu Qian's voice was cold and serious, as if announcing to Yue Lin that Xiao Ning was his only weakness.
Yue Lin's face instantly became stiff, but she also understood that she had no way out. After a long time, she tried to suppress her inner uneasiness and nodded silently, indicating that she accepted the condition.
Chu Qian looked at Yue Lin's reaction and felt a little relieved. She carefully picked up Xiao Ning, her eyes full of tenderness, and asked softly, "As for how to get her out of Li Mu's control, have you thought of a way?"
Xiao Ning smiled confidently, as if he had it all figured out. His voice was firm and powerful: "Of course, we should find an expert who is proficient in this kind of thing!"
As night fell, Xiao Ning brought Chu Qian and Yue Lin to a secluded courtyard. Chu Qian knocked on the door gently, and the knock sounded particularly crisp in the quiet night. Not long after, a crisp voice came from inside the door: "Coming!"
Then, the door slowly opened, and a slender woman appeared in front of him. Her figure was petite and delicate, like a blooming flower. Especially the eye-catching mole under her left eye, like a bright star in the night sky, attracting people's attention.
As soon as Xiao Ning saw the woman, a happy smile immediately spread across his face. He shouted happily, "Aunt Pei, sorry to bother you!"
Pei Qingyu saw that it was Xiao Ning who came, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She walked up quickly, picked up Xiao Ning, and kissed his pink face as if he were her own child.
"Ning'er, Senior Sister Chu, why are you here?" Pei Qingyu's voice was full of kindness and concern.
Xiao Ning smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and then said, "I miss Aunt Pei!"
There was a gleam of innocence and attachment in his eyes, as if in front of Pei Qingyu, he could let down all his guard and show his truest self.
After hearing what Xiao Ning said, Pei Qingyu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile. She gently pinched Xiao Ning's pink cheeks and scolded coquettishly: "Still thinking about me! You must have something to ask of me, right?"
Xiao Ning touched the back of his head awkwardly, his cheeks slightly flushed, and he said shyly: "Ah, Aunt Pei guessed it after all."
Then, he told Pei Qingyu everything about Yue Lin. Pei Qingyu looked at Yue Lin, who was standing beside her, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. After a while, she slowly said:
"Being refined into a human tool is indeed a tricky situation..." After she said that, an embarrassment appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning immediately reached out to straighten Pei Qingyu's face, and then quickly kissed her on both cheeks. Then, he hugged Pei Qingyu's neck tightly and said coquettishly:
"Aunt Pei, please help Ning'er! As long as you help Ning'er, Ning'er will agree to any request!"
Aunt Pei looked at the little Xiao Ning in front of her with a sweet voice and showed a doting smile on her face. She gently stroked Xiao Ning's hair and said softly:
"Really? Can I ask for anything?"
Xiao Ning nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination, as if he was assuring Aunt Pei that he would never break his promise.
Pei Qingyu then turned his gaze back to Yue Lin and said, "In that case, I'll help you for Ning'er's sake!"
When Yue Lin heard this, a subtle ripple flashed across her eyes. She simply expressed her gratitude in a tone without any emotional color. Pei Qingyu continued:
"It's too late today. Let's start tomorrow. Then you can stay in the room next to it."
Yue Lin turned to look at Xiao Ning, who nodded to her, signaling that she need not worry. Yue Lin was relieved and walked slowly towards the small house. Her pace was neither fast nor slow, as if she was telling of her inner peace and determination. After entering the small house, she gently closed the door, isolating the noise and troubles of the outside world from the door.
Pei Qingyu looked at Xiao Ning, then smiled meaningfully and said.
"Then Ning'er! Just spend some time with your Aunt Pei these few days!"
