When Li Qing arrived at the grove, he found Lie Yan squatting in front of a clearing in front of him, with his back to him and his arms wrapped around his knees.
This incident must have been a huge psychological shock to Lieyan.
Li Qing shook his head, slowly walked towards Lie Yan, and gently called out to Lie Yan.
Upon hearing the call, Lieyan turned around sharply, but upon seeing Li Qing and Yun approaching, he immediately turned back and quickly walked forward.
Even though it was only for a moment, Li Qing still saw a trace of tears in the corner of Lie Yan's eyes.
She did cry.
"Blazing Flames".
Li Qing called out again.
"It's okay, let's just pretend we didn't see anything."
"..."
Lieyan stopped moving forward, but she still kept her back to Li Qing.
His body was trembling slightly.
Li Qing gently opened his mouth and said, "You've been wronged."
Yun also comforted Lieyan, saying, "Lieyan, don't be sad. This is all my fault. I didn't tell Maizi to speak up for you right away when you were wronged."
"..."
A moment later.
Lieyan let out a few more soft sobs.
But she tried her best to slowly turn her head around.
Seeing Lieyan's face red from crying, Li Qing suddenly panicked, forgetting all the words that were on his mind.
Now it was Li Qing's turn to feel embarrassed.
They came to comfort Lieyan.
How can we not be able to say a single word after meeting?
well.
Li Qing looked towards the clouds.
He said it in a low voice.
He gestured to her that since she had followed him in, she should say something instead of just standing there, and let him speak.
Ke Yun seemed a little nervous too. She hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say, and then said, "Lie Yan, don't be sad. It's all Mai Zi's fault. If you're angry, just yell at him a few times!"
"How did this get dragged into me again?" Li Qing thought to himself, his face full of exasperation.
He coughed lightly, about to say something, when he saw Lieyan burst into a smile through his tears, hooking his nose and saying, "No, Yun, I'm not angry."
"Nonsense, you clearly all, all..."
Yun hesitated for a long time, unsure whether to say the last word.
Lieyan smiled understandingly and said, "It's okay, Yun. I'm really not angry. I'm just a little tired and want to rest by myself."
"Really?"
Yun asked with a skeptical look.
"real."
Lieyan nodded seriously.
Yun was, after all, quite old. Even though she felt something was off, she could only nod in agreement since Lieyan had already said so.
Li Qing felt a pang of sadness. He realized he still preferred the fiery and outspoken Lie Yan of the past, rather than the introverted girl who swallowed her grievances silently. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Lie Yan. Since I promised that you wouldn't be bullied if you joined our tribe, I will definitely keep my word!"
Flame opened his mouth gratefully, but Li Qing interrupted him, saying, "How are you, Atuna, and how are the people from your tribe—who are now from our tribe—resting?"
Lieyan first settled the people of their tribe before teaching Yun combat skills. The physical condition of these young people was also something Li Qing had always been concerned about.
Lieyan was taken aback, but still replied, "They are all recovering very quickly. Most of them are asleep now and should be back to normal soon."
"Um."
Li Qing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lieyan smiled and said softly, "It's nothing."
After a moment of contemplation, Li Qing suddenly said, "How about this, Yun, you and Lieyan have a good chat here first. If Lieyan has any problems, help her out. Anyway, you two are both girls and you get along well. I'll go find Boye to ask about the specifics."
"Then hurry up and go, and come back slowly," Yun said.
Li Qing was amused by this remark and said, both laughing and crying, "That's an interesting thing to say."
As Li Qing turned to leave, Lie Yan quickly waved his hand and said, "No need!"
When Li Qing turned around, Lie Yan realized that his tone was a bit stiff, and lowered his head apologetically, saying, "It's okay, Mai Zi, you really don't need to go. I'm fine, and I'm not angry. I'll just chat with Yun for a bit."
Li Qing shook his head, took three steps in two, walked up to Lie Yan, and without saying a word, patted Lie Yan's head, pinched Lie Yan's face, and finally patted Lie Yan's cheek with the back of his hand, saying: "Listen to me, stay here quietly, I don't want to hear any nonsense!"
Instantly, Lieyan's face flushed red as he looked at Li Qing in surprise.
Li Qing faced the flames, took a few steps back, and finally put his index and middle fingers together, clenching the remaining three fingers together. He made a dashing gesture to the flames and smiled, "I'm leaving."
Having said that, he turned and left without waiting for Lieyan to reply.
This wasn't specifically for the sake of Lieyan, but rather because Li Qing had become increasingly aware of the seriousness of the matter—so serious that it needed to be resolved immediately.
Otherwise, such conflicts will accumulate and eventually escalate to an unmanageable state.
Looking at Li Qing's back, Lie Yan could still feel the warmth of Li Qing's palm on her face. This was the first time she had been treated so intimately by the same man so many times. First, he spanked her, then touched her head... and then this kind of very intimate behavior made Lie Yan feel very uncomfortable, and her face was burning hot.
Looking ahead, Lieyan could no longer see Li Qing's figure, and a sense of anxiety began to rise in her heart: "This guy, is he doing this on purpose, or is he really doing this to me..."
"Blazing Flames".
Yun spoke softly, intending to chat with Lieyan to ease the atmosphere, but unexpectedly, Lieyan suddenly asked, "Yun, in your tribe... is there anyone who likes you?"
Yun was taken aback, then covered her face with her hands, looking very embarrassed, and asked, "Oh dear, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Do you have one or not?"
Lieyan's tone became slightly anxious.
"I'm still young, these things are too early for me."
"I see," Flame said in a low voice. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question."
Yun shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not angry. But, Lieyan, what do you mean by suddenly asking this question? ... Is there someone in our tribe who likes you? You're so beautiful, it's quite normal for someone to like you."
This girl!
"Who is that person?" Yun thought for a moment, resting her chin on her hand, then snapped her fingers and said cleverly, "Ah, I remember now, isn't it that person!"
"who?"
Now it was Flame's turn to be nervous.
Yun deliberately rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and then said with a grin, "You should know better than I do who this person is. Don't worry, I think this person is pretty good. Maybe you can give it a try."
