Zhao Tian who was walking beside Lan Shuqin felt a powerful gaze on him and his eyes narrowed 'Someone is spying on me...'
'Maybe they are the ones killing the people close to Hanyue... to make her feel despair.'
'And now they are targeting me?'
He reached out and gently grasped Lan Shuqin's hand, bringing her close to him "Stay close to me..."
Lan Shuqin was startled but she didn't say anything and let him hold her hand as they walked through the streets.
However, notcing the shift in his demeanor, she leaned forward and whsipered in concern "What happened, Master Tian?"
Forcing a smile, he shook his head "Nothing... For the time being, stay close to me..."
As he spoke, he slid his fingers, interwining with her fingers.
H-Huh? This made her blush and she lowered her gaze, too flustered to speak.
Despite her embarrassment, she didn't pull away and silently matched his pace, her heart pounding erratically.
