As he spoke, the sternness in Qin Luo's eyes began to soften, and he reached out to gently brush a stray strand of hair from Murong Liyue's ear, sighing:
"After all, I can't always be by your side to protect you. Fortunately, I delivered the array diagram in time this time, which barely saved your future. But what if there is a next time? One wrong step on the path of cultivation will lead to eternal damnation, and you all understand that."
"You must not act so impulsively in the future. This is not only a warning to you for your reckless actions this time, but also to all three of you."
"Yes, yes, I will never act so rashly again!" Hearing Qin Luo relent, Murong Liyue nodded vigorously, her head bobbing up and down, a few strands of hair dancing lightly.

"No, I can't just let this go. I have to get some compensation from him."
Stopping her thoughts, Sikong Xiu took a deep breath and lifted her leg to move towards Qin Luo's direction.
