“This” Yun Yao’s eyes widened. “Where is everyone? Why is there no one here?”
Ming Li looked around and said in a deep voice, “It seems like the people from the temple have already escaped.”
“They ran away?” Yun Yao asked confusedly. “With that much power, why are they running away?”
Yunxi said calmly, “The Temple has lost all its elite troops in this battle, and its strength has been greatly reduced. Staying in Fourteenth Heaven will only cause it to be devoured by its enemies. Rather than waiting to die, it is better to make plans as soon as possible.”
David did not speak, but walked slowly along every corner of the temple.
Once upon a time, this place was one of the most powerful forces in the Fourteen Heavens, its power was awesome and untouchable.
Now, only empty, desolate and dilapidated buildings remain.
He stood in the temple hall, looking at the empty throne, feeling no joy, only a faint sense of melancholy.
“That’s a shame,” he said quietly.
I still regret a little that I couldn’t destroy the temple with my own hands.
Well, never mind, if they run away, that’s it.
The most important thing now is to find Yuqi’s whereabouts and deal with Ning Zhi’s threat.
David turned around, about to speak, but his gaze fell on Ming Li and Liu Qianqian.
The two stood side by side, looking normal, but David, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that Liu Qianqian’s hand was gently resting on Ming Li’s wrist.
Ming Li turned her head slightly to the side, whispering something in her ear, and Liu Qianqian’s lips curled up slightly, but she held it in and looked away with a straight face.
The way Ming Li looked at Liu Qianqian was so gentle that it could melt the heart.
David raised his eyebrows.
Kindness.
When did the two of them start a relationship?
He didn’t say anything, but just glanced at her a few more times.
Upon closer inspection, another clue emerged: although Liu Qianqian wore a stern face, the smile in the corners of her eyes was impossible to hide.
Ming Li, who was usually cold-faced, was currently smiling broadly, and kept glancing at Liu Qianqian.
David understands.
It’s not surprising that previously I felt there was something strange about the two of them; now I know the reason.
He didn’t reveal their hiding place on the spot, but just smiled and invited everyone to continue exploring the temple.
Throughout the journey, the interactions between Mingli and Liu Qianqian became clearer and clearer.
When walking on the mountain paths, Mingli always subconsciously stood in front of Liu Qianqian, afraid that she would fall;
During breaks, Liu Qianqian would secretly give water bags to Mingli. When Mingli took it, their fingers would touch intentionally or unintentionally, then quickly separate, as if nothing had happened.
Yun Yao, that carefree little girl, didn’t notice anything at all.
Yunxi noticed, but only glanced at him without saying anything.
Finally, after exploring a side passage, David stopped, turned around, and looked at Ming Li with a faint smile.
“Ming Li”.
Ming Li was talking to Liu Qianqian with her head lowered when she heard this, so she looked up and asked, “Hmm?”
David looked at him, then looked at Liu Qianqian, and slowly asked, “When did this happen between the two of you?”
Ming Li was shocked, and the expression on his face immediately froze.
Liu Qianqian was also taken aback, then her cheeks turned red. Subconsciously he hid behind Ming Li.
“What is that?” Ming Li asked flatly, his eyes darting here and there. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
David smiled.
“Don’t know at all?”
He slowly walked over and circled Ming Li. “Then tell me, why have your eyes never left Liu Qianqian since you left home?”
Why do you always get in his way when we’re climbing the mountain paths? Why, when you were resting earlier, did your fingers touch briefly before quickly separating when he handed you the water bladder?
Ming Li opened her mouth, her face bright red.
Yun Yao finally realized what was going on and her eyes widened: “Huh? Brother Ming Li and Brother Liu? You are together?”
Liu Qianqian’s face grew even redder, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl through.
Seeing that she couldn’t hide it any longer, Ming Li decided to abandon caution and stubbornly said, “So what if that’s the case! Qianqian and I truly love each other!”
David couldn’t help but laugh when he saw David’s shy but stubborn expression.
“I didn’t say it wasn’t allowed, why are you in such a rush?”
Ming Li was taken aback, looking at David hesitantly: “You don’t mind?”
“Against what?”
David patted her shoulder, his tone sincere, “You have followed me for so long, through thick and thin, without ever wavering. Now that you have found the woman you love, I am so happy for you, why should I mind?”
Ming Li stared at him blankly, her eyes gradually turning red. “Mr Chen I thought you were so perverted that you would also take Qianqian.”
“Damn” David was silent for a moment: “Even though I have many women, none of them are my compulsion. I can’t just take any woman I meet, right? I’m not a manly man.”
