After all, they had been through so much together, and she had long regarded Anji as her own sister and family. How could she bear to leave her alone?
Li Baobei knew that Anji had no other relatives left, and now she was Anji's family.
At this moment, Anji's eyes were blank and empty. He just stared at Li Baobei quietly, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
Indeed, she really didn't know what to do next.
Looking at the silent darkness, Li Baobei realized that it seemed inappropriate to directly ask the other party to go to the South with her.
So he quickly changed his approach and said softly, "Anji, I will soon be setting off for the Southern Kingdom. Could you please see me off? Once we arrive in the Southern Kingdom, you can leave whenever you wish, or stay if you wish. Is that alright?"
Seeing Li Baobei's reluctant expression, Anji still couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Mu Leng replied, "Okay."
＊
It was late at night.
He sat quietly in the pavilion, staring blankly into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
After sending Nan Nan back to the South, what should she do?
Should I continue wandering and drifting?
Or should I return to the Church of Light and follow Young Master Dongfang?
Just as she was lost in thought, a very faint sound came from not far away. If she hadn't had exceptional hearing, she probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Anji instantly became alert, abruptly pulling himself back from his thoughts. His gaze was as cold as a knife as he asked in a low voice, "Who?"
“It’s…it’s me…” A slightly hesitant and embarrassed voice came from the dark corner.
The war slave slowly walked out, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
These past two days, he had seen Anji always looking worried and sullen, and he was very concerned, but he didn't know how to comfort her or where to begin.
So, he had no choice but to quietly hide to the side and silently observe her every move.
When he saw that the newcomer was a war slave, the chill in Anji's eyes lessened slightly, but did not completely disappear.
She was about to turn and leave, but at that moment, a word from the war slave made her stop in her tracks.
"Will you go to the Southern Kingdom?" The war slave's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Anji's ears.
She was startled; those words were like a gentle breeze that blew straight into her heart.
Could it be that the war slave was asking about his whereabouts?
Anji slowly turned around, wanting to confirm.
In an instant, their eyes met, and she suddenly felt her heart race, as if a deer was pounding wildly in her chest.
At this moment, the War Slave stared blankly at the darkness, feeling as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat, his breathing becoming rapid with tension.
Anji was startled and quickly looked away, trying to keep his voice calm: "I'm going to take you to the Southern Kingdom, and I'll leave then."
The slave's eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly: "What? Leave!"
She really was going to leave...
This thought struck the slave like a heavy hammer, making him feel suffocated for a moment.
He stood there, stunned, silent for a long time, watching Anji turn to leave. Finally, he couldn't help but call out, "Anji, do you really have to leave? I..."
However, the words seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say them no matter what he tried.
His heart was filled with contradictions and struggles, as if a million ants were gnawing at his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
This is so difficult!
This feeling is countless times more difficult than facing thousands of troops on the battlefield.
"What?" Upon hearing the voice, Anji immediately turned around, raised his head, and stared intently at the War Slave.
At this moment, the warrior slave's muscles were taut all over, and even a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
I don't want you to leave.
The war slave took a deep breath, seemingly using all his strength, before squeezing out the words one by one from between his teeth.
His gaze was firm and ardent, staring unflinchingly into the darkness, his eyes revealing sincere and profound emotions.
Anji couldn't help but tremble, feeling a surge of heat rising in his heart.
Is this... a confession?
How strange, this feeling is so deadly, it feels like I've suddenly forgotten everything.
He can't even lift his foot to leave anymore...
＊
Just then, two pairs of eyes were silently watching all of this from not far away.
Upon seeing what was happening, the two of them turned around at the same time and quickly left.
"He You, how did you know that Zhan Nu liked An Ji? I didn't even notice!" Li Baobei smiled with delight, looked at He You in disbelief, and asked.
He You looked at Li Baobei with the same loving gaze and gently replied, "Because I have never seen a warrior blush when facing other women..."
"ah? "
