Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: Are you going where? Are you leaving us?
After hearing Beiting Huang’s words, Nangong Qianmo was clear that there must be a magical beast in that spatial ring for her. But at that moment, Nangong Qianmo had no interest in making a contract with a magical beast to increase her strength. Her eyes, which were like pools of autumn water, suddenly brimmed with tears as she looked at Beiting Huang with a watery gaze and said, “Captain, you said ‘hope to see each other again’, where are you going? Are you leaving us?”
As soon as she asked this, everyone stopped their discussions and looked over. Beiting Huang looked around and saw nearly all were her relatives, close friends, and elders. The people of Huang City, those from the Raya Empire, and those from Yan City, there was not a single person who did not have a connection with her, not a single person who was not looking at her with eyes full of concern.
Even the Venerables of the Imperial Court, Ren Lan and Qin Shuang, because of their grandchildren’s relationship, were very concerned about Beiting Huang as well.
Beiting Huang touched her nose, gave a smile, and stood surrounded by everyone’s gaze. With a somewhat apologetic look in her eyes, she responded to everyone, nodding, “Yes, the Central Continent is where I was born, but I can’t stay here for good. With the matters in Yan City concluded, I’m afraid I must leave. My father and mother are still missing, their fate unknown. As their child, my heart will not be at peace until I find them.”
Such a Beiting Huang was heart-wrenching to behold. Only fifteen years old, yet shouldering such a heavy burden. In that moment, Yan Ye’s reflection shimmered in the eyes of the young man. He felt a pang of heartache for the youth—more than anyone else—and stood up from his seat, walked over, took Beiting Huang’s hand, and placed her on the seat of the City Lord of Yan City beside him. Raising his hand, he stroked Beiting Huang’s hair in front of everyone, “Remember, at any time, you still have me by your side!”
At that moment, Lord Beiting Jing also came over. He snatched Beiting Huang from Yan Ye’s side, lovingly embracing her, so much so that he almost cried, “Little Ninth, it is Big Brother who has wronged you. The task of searching for dad and mom should be mine to bear!”
But this heavy burden was placed on the shoulders of his younger sister, so young and delicate. How he wished that Beiting Huang could be a bit more selfish, a bit less strong; even if he had to bear everything alone, at least his heart wouldn’t be in such pain.
From behind Lord Beiting Jing, it seemed as if his shoulders were trembling. Watching such a Lord Beiting Jing, Xu Xiaomo, who had finally managed to get out of bed to join the commotion, suddenly felt unbearable to watch. He turned his face away, looking at the view outside of the Nine Spirits Hall, somewhat baffled as to what was happening. It seemed he could no longer face Lord Beiting Jing with the same equanimity as before.
The entire hall was very quiet. If it were someone else holding Beiting Huang like that, Yan Ye would definitely have exploded in anger. But at this moment, the person was Lord Beiting Jing, and what was more critical was that, in such a moment, under such emotions, even if Yan Ye was flooded with jealousy, his body trembling with the effort to hold back, he still clenched his fists tightly, restraining himself from flipping Lord Beiting Jing away, his gaze turned elsewhere. But out of sight did not lead to a peaceful mind.
Luckily, Beiting Huang quickly raised her head from Lord Beiting Jing’s embrace and slightly pulled away from the distance between her and her brother. She took a deep breath, and while Lord Beiting Jing felt pain for her, didn’t she feel the same for him? In the fourteen years before her rebirth, it had always been her big brother who cared for her. He had endured so much more than she had!
