Chapter 70 Soothing the Child
At the same time, all the girls knelt down and kowtowed deeply. After they stood up, one of the girls suddenly said, "We didn't even have time to ask our benefactor's name."
"Yes, yes! What if we want to repay our benefactor but don't even know their name?"
"I heard that beast call out 'Master Li' before it died."
"Sect Leader Li? Sect Leader Li of the Four Gazes Sect?" Although they had never met Sect Leader Li, they had heard of him.
"That's right, only Sect Leader Li would come to save us."
"What...what's that girl's name?"
"Miss Qiao?"
A woman who had been captured for about a year said, "No, no, no, before I was captured, I saw that Lady Qiao. She was so delicate and frail." This girl was clearly not comparable to Lady Qiao. At that time, Lady Qiao was accompanied by a guy named Xiao something—never mind his name—and she noticed that he didn't seem to treat Lady Qiao like an ordinary friend. Back then, she even felt some sympathy for Sect Leader Li. While Sect Leader Li was out on business, his brothers at home were secretly trying to poach him.
"Ah! I remember now. I heard a guest say a while ago that Miss Qiao and Sect Leader Li had broken up. Sect Leader Li was betrayed by Yun Biqiu and poisoned with Bi Cha. He was then saved by a girl named Qing'er. I suppose that was Qing'er just now."
"Sect Leader Li and Miss Qing'er are both so powerful, it seems like there's nothing we can do to help them?"
"How about we make a golden statue for Sect Leader Li and Miss Qing'er? And then worship them every day?" one of the girls suggested, her mind racing.
"I think it's a good idea, what do you guys think?"
"Yes, yes."
That girl with the wildly imaginative idea—she just casually mentioned it, and everyone agreed. They instantly joined the discussion, excitedly figuring out how to do it.
Qing'er and Li Lianhua, who had left on the other side, were unaware of all this. Qing'er went to an open space and released Li Lianhua.
Li Lianhua sighed softly with some regret as he watched her let go. Qing'er looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you sighing? Don't tell me you want me to keep holding you?" Li Lianhua smiled and said, "If Qing'er wants to, that's fine too."
Qing'er looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Do you know how you got back to Yunyin Mountain back then?"
Li Lianhua knew she was referring to their first meeting. He woke up in Yunyin Mountain and hadn't asked Qing'er how he got back. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling and asked nervously, "How...how did you get back?"
Qing'er pretended to carry him in a princess carry and said with a smile, "I'll carry him back like this."
Li Lianhua's anxiety finally subsided, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope, "No one saw it, right?" If no one saw it, he would pretend it never happened. Clearly, he was going to be disappointed.
“Aunt Cen and the others all saw it.” What Qing’er didn’t say was that someone who passed by in the East Sea also saw it.
Seeing Li Lianhua's instantly crumbling expression, Qing'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. Li Lianhua, on the verge of tears, covered her face with her hands and lamented, "Oh dear, my lifelong reputation is ruined! If my master and mistress see me like this, don't I have any dignity?"
Qing'er patted his shoulder, suppressing a laugh as she comforted him, "It's alright, it's alright, they won't laugh at you. Look, they haven't mentioned it at all. (Qimu Mountain and his wife: That's because they're afraid Xiang Yi will be embarrassed, so they haven't mentioned it to his face, but that doesn't mean they won't mention it in private! Everyone who needs to know already knows, like Li Xiangxian, hehe!)"
Li Lianhua slowly lowered her hand, looking pitifully at Qing'er, "Qing'er."
Seeing his expression, Qing'er subconsciously said, "Good boy."
Li Lianhua blushed at the word "good boy." How could Qing'er... how could she coax him like a child?
