How dare he.
To make the high and mighty Di Zun worry about him like this.
He felt sorry for her and she also felt sorry for him.
"Last night, you didn't sleep at all." Ye Qing Luo's voice was gentle, revealing a tinge of heartache.
Di Mo Xuan lowered his head slightly as he placed his chin on her neck, sniffing the lady's fragrance. That restless heart in his heart slowly calmed down.
His girl had met with the killers yesterday.
At that critical moment, he could only stand at the top of the tall building and watch.
He wanted to show himself to save Ye Qing Luo, to become her strongest support when she was in danger.
But he couldn't.
He loved Ye Qing Luo but at the same time, he was the Imperial Palace's Palace Lord, shouldering the Imperial Palace's mission.
If he were to show himself now, it would definitely attract the academy's attention.
All of his plans would fail.
Hence, he attracted Long Yun Zhan.
But he had not expected that after Qi Qi exhausted the sacred beast's energy to allow Long Yun Zhan to transform into a dragon, in order to charge into the array barrier, it forced out the dragon's energy.
It could be seen that in Long Yun Zhan's heart, Ye Qing Luo had already occupied a very important position.
But it was because of yesterday's killer incident which made Di Mo Xuan even more determined to let Ye Qing Luo grow up on her own.
He finally understood why Ye Qing Luo wanted to walk side by side with him, and not let him protect her under her wings.
Because Ye Qing Luo wasn't willing to be his burden.
She wanted to be his assistant, an assistant who could help him.
His identity meant that he had too much helplessness.
He had no way to stay by Ye Qing Luo's side all the time.
And his identity also meant that the people around him would meet with many unknown dangers because of him.
He was actually very clear that if Long Yun Zhan wasn't able to transform into a dragon and kill those killers easily, he would absolutely take the risk of being discovered to save Ye Qing Luo.
The degree of care he had for Ye Qing Luo had exceeded his imagination.
Di Mo Xuan concealed the deep meaning in his eyes as his arms tightened, "Promise me, don't let yourself be in a dangerous situation in future."
Ye Qing Luo smiled as the smile on her lips deepened, "I will protect myself well."
She told Di Mo Xuan about how she met the Ghost Doctor in the Library Pavilion, then being chased by assassins and finally meeting the Blue Dragon.
"The academy has arranged a new dormitory for us. I reckon that we'll only be able to move in after we return to the academy during the holidays. Tonight, I'll stay in the spiritual qi treasure land to cultivate. I reckon that when I wake up tomorrow, my internal injuries should be completely healed."
Ye Qing Luo explained where she went last night, "Find a place and have a good rest for two days. We'll meet again when we return to Three Springs Sect."
"Chasing me away just like that?" Di Mo Xuan rubbed his head against her neck.
That scorching breath blew on her earlobe from time to time.
Ye Qing Luo endured the numbing feeling as her little hand clutched the robes around his waist tightly, "Ah Xuan, I can't bear to part with you but what I should do now is to work hard to raise my own strength. I don't want you to worry about me."
"Silly girl." Di Mo Xuan sighed softly as his palm covered Ye Qing Luo's head, pulling the both of them apart.
He lowered his eyes and stared into the woman's enchanting eyes as he gently kissed her on the lips.
"No matter how powerful you become, I will always worry about you."
How could he not be worried.
But no matter how worried he was, Di Mo Xuan couldn't do something like intentionally distancing himself from her just to prevent her from getting hurt.
He couldn't bear to and he couldn't do it.
This sweet kiss was gentle and lingering, deeply hooking Ye Qing Luo.
