Chapter 73: You Don't Understand the Sword! (Please Follow)_1

```

A casual remark,

Yet it exploded like thunder in Ye Qinghong's heart.

She was stunned for a moment, her cool cheeks pausing momentarily.

The Sword Qi surrounding her body began to slowly fade away.

Her eyes, veiled in a mist, began to brim with deep confusion.

Master is coming?

What does this mean?

Could it be that the Demon Lord, fearing she was not his match, planned to take action personally?

But... it shouldn't be like this.

That wasn't the Demon Lord's character at all.

How could someone who had treated her as a puppet from the beginning, suddenly feel pity for her?

Moreover, if he didn't intend for her to fight, why would the Demon Lord have her join the expedition?

Ye Qinghong stood silently in place, her mind a whirl of confusion, unable to grasp what was happening.

It was just that... the pair of large hands atop her head were truly warm, as if sweeping away all her agitation and worry.
