When Xu Qi returned to the Sect Outpost with the two women trailing behind him, he was immediately put into an interrogation by Ling Lian and Xiao Yue.
After an extensive explanation and revealing their backgrounds, they both looked at him like they were staring at a fool.
"Xu Qi, are you really going to trust someone like them? I get it. They've turned over a new leaf but..." Ling Lian said, her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Trust is something that's earned, not given, Xu Qi. I... want to support you but this..." Xiao Yue's voice was filled with concern.
"I understand your concerns, that's why... we'll have them make a binding oath that they will never betray me. Will that be good enough?"
The two women looked at each other before nodding in unison. They were already his and they knew it. The oath was just a formality to appease these two important females in his life.
