Feeling the young lady’s arms curled around his waist to reassure him, the anger immediately drained out of Lou Jun Yao completely. He embraced her quietly for a while, and then released her slightly to ask: “What happened?”

Qing Yu curved up her lips in a smile. “It was nothing. Just a clown hidden up among the beams became impatient and tried to find some trouble with me, that’s all.”

With Qing Yu so highly favoured by Qing Luo Yan now, people in the divine temple just could not wait to fawn on her and butter her up, so no one would be so foolish as to try anything funny on her in here at this time.

Could it be…..

Lou Jun Yao’s brows knitted up as he thought deeply about it for a while, before he then looked at her and said: “Someone from the Mind Free Peak?”

“Mm. But I have dealt with it.” Qing Yu said with an eyebrow raised, but wasn’t all that surprised that the man was able to decipher it so quickly.

Afterall, having already taken her mother away, their next target could only be Little Bei and her, but she had not thought that they would make their move so soon.

Upon thinking that, Qing Yu’s furrowed brows deepened as she looked worriedly at the man. “How is Little Bei doing recently? Ah Yao, you must definitely help me keep a lookout on him. I worry that those people will suddenly strike, and Little Bei will be defenceless against them.”

“You do not need to worry about him that much. He is not as useless as you think. You are just being overly protective of him here.”

Lou Jun Yao squeezed the young lady’s cheeks gently, and his thin lips parted slightly as he said: “As a man, he needs to grow up sooner or later. When I was his age, I already went through so much more. Although you are his elder sister, you cannot decide his life for him forever. He needs to walk his future path on his own, and nobody can help him with that. Do you understand that?”

Qing Yu lowered her eyes, and her voice was soft as she replied: “I understand.”

Maybe in her eyes, Qing Bei would always be a small and weak child that needs her constant protection…..

Seeing the young lady suddenly fall silent and glum, Lou Jun Yao could not help but curve up the corners of his lips, and lifted a hand to raise her small delicate chin up. His devilishly handsome face suddenly leaned in, and he pressed his forehead up against hers gently, his gaze indiscernible as he looked right at her.

Qing Yu was taken aback by surprise, the expression on her face bewildered.

“I discovered something.” Lou Jun Yao suddenly said, his tone of voice serious.

“What?”

“Although you haven’t seen me for the past few days, you did not miss me even a tiny bit, but is being so concerned for that kid Little Bei instead.” Lou Jun Yao said without showing any expression on his face. His eyes then became sad as he looked at her and said: “Have you….. started to tire of me?”

Lou Jun Yao’s words were spoken mostly in jest, but it still carried a sliver of seriousness in them.

Afterall, the lass was becoming less and less passionate towards him compared to the beginning, and that made Lou Jun Yao unable to help himself but to develop self depreciating thoughts, thinking maybe he was not attractive to Qing Yu anymore…..
