Therefore, one must be strong oneself to be able to forge iron!
Nianzhi, Qin Luo's gaze fell on Nuantang again, a trace of pity rising in his heart.
This young girl should have been shining brightly at a carefree age, but instead she was drawn into this complex power struggle and used to gain personal benefits.
Then he said softly:
"Nuantang, right? It's a nice name. Would you be willing to stay by my side for a while?"
Upon hearing the voice, Nuantang subconsciously looked up. When she saw Qin Luo's gentle smile, her previously flustered heart calmed down a bit.
That smile stunned her for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise, as if she had never imagined that this powerful figure, revered by the entire fox clan, would have such a gentle side.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Nuantang casually, his eyes carrying an undeniable warning.
Qin Luo remained calm, nodded in acknowledgment, and shifted his gaze from Nuantang to the distant, rolling mountains, saying thoughtfully:
"You can go back without worry. I will take good care of her."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and bowed repeatedly, expressing his gratitude. He then leaned closer to Nuantang, whispered a few words of advice, and quickly left, his figure gradually disappearing at the end of the square.
