This was the life Xiao Yao had wanted most before.
To be with her master, to follow her master, to eat, drink, and have fun everywhere, no matter the distance!
Without a second thought, Xiao Yao immediately said, "Okay!"
But she still had some doubts: "Master, don't you have things to do? That person… have you met him? Have you finished what he asked you to do?"
"You never cared about these things before, you even told me not to worry about them." Ye Qingying felt like laughing.
But he couldn't laugh now.
Because he seemed to have realized that his little girl was no longer as wholeheartedly devoted to following him as she used to be.
She seemed reluctant to leave.
"Xiao Yao," he suddenly took a step forward and held her hand, "Are you truly willing to go with me?"
He felt a sense of panic, a panic he had never experienced before.
He felt that the little girl before him was no longer as close to him as before.
She was a little distant from him.
Was her heart filled with more people, more things?
"I want to go with Master," Xiao Yao said hesitantly.
This was true.
Although she didn't know what it was in this prince's mansion that inexplicably made her feel some attachment.
But this mansion was also fraught with danger, and she always felt it would be dangerous to stay.
She had always been very sensitive to danger.
Yet, inexplicably, she felt uneasy about leaving.
"Then come with me." Ye Qingying held her hand and walked deeper into the forest.
"Master…"
"I will handle my affairs. I will tell that person tomorrow that from now on, I will no longer…" no longer do things for her!
He felt uneasy and wanted to indulge himself for once.
Most importantly, he suddenly had a strong premonition that if things continued like this, Xiao Yao would leave him.
But Xiao Yao didn't belong to him in the first place; it was only right for her to return to Feng Ye Xuan's side.
Should he, or should he not, tell her the truth about everything?
The two walked deeper into the dense forest. After an unknown amount of time, both of them suddenly stopped.
"Master…"
"I…"
Ye Qingying looked down at the small, thin girl, his large hand holding hers slowly tightening.
"If you had, in the past, liked a man, loved him deeply…"
"If it was truly unforgettable, no matter how much was lost, it would be found again."
But it was clear that Xiao Yao was not thinking about this now.
"Master, I can't leave now. If I leave, she…"
"Who?"
"A woman who was being chased, poisoned deeply, and still unconscious."
If she left, not to mention whether any doctor would dare to save her, but in the current situation, no doctor in the entire prince's mansion had the ability to save Fu Ning.
If she left, Fu Ning would surely die!
"Master, I cannot abandon her."
"Then can you abandon Prince Xuan?"
These words made Xiao Yao blink, a little confused: "Why can't I abandon him…"
Suddenly, that face, that figure flashed in her mind.
That scoundrel…
She had never thought that if she left with her master, she would never see him again.
She had never even considered it.
For some reason, she felt a little unsettled.
But she didn't know what feelings she could have for that scoundrel.
She clearly had no feelings for him at all.
"Master, I just don't want to abandon that girl."
Xiao Yao didn't want to think too much. She tugged at Ye Qingying's sleeve: "Master, I must save her first. After she recovers, I will go with you, okay?"
