Chapter 282.3: Can Only Be Friends
He suddenly snapped back to his senses, and took a moment before he shook his head. “How could I possibly ever hurt you?”
This was someone he would seek to protect even if he would get hurt!
Qing Yu curved up the ends of her lips and then said: “Or shall I say, will you betray me? Or do things that’s disadvantageous to me?”
“I will never do that.” Qing Ye Li said in a resolute voice.
Qing Yu looked at him with her brows turned up in smiling arches. “So, what are you so worried about? So what if you are not human? Little Burrow is a snake and I like him a lot. Little Ye, you grew up together with me and you are a friend and companion I trust the most. So, we will never ever drift apart and become estranged, will we?”
Qing Ye Li’s body had turned a little stiff. It was not known whether it was because of the young lady’s words spoken without any restraint or it was because of the phrase….. most trusted friend…..
Friend…..
That’s right. Just friends, They can only be friends.
That was enough.
Having made it clear with her words, Qing Yu went on to pour a cup of tea for him as she said: “Little Ye, you said that you came here to Cloud Heaven because of Mind Free Peak?”
“Mm.” Qing Ye Li nodded slightly. “I promised my Father that I will help him bring something back.”
“But isn’t there a limit on the number of people that can go into Mind Free Peak? So people from the White Fens Land can go in there as well? ?” Qing Yu asked with a rather surprised look on her face.
The corners of Qing Ye Li’s mouth tightened. “The limit holds no absolutely no meaning to powerful ent.i.ties. As long as one has the power, will the Mind Free Peak really stop them from going in?”
“What you said sounds quite logical.” Qing Yu said with a helpless smile.
Qing Ye Li held the tea cup in his hand, not drinking a single sip but merely narrowed his eyes, impossible to know what was on his mind. After a while, he then said in a soft voice: “You have to be careful…..”
“Huh?”
Qing Ye Li’s fingers holding the tea cup tightened slightly. “Regardless whether it’s Cloud Heaven or Mind Free Peak, both of these two places aren’t really that terrifying or dangerous to me. What I am more worried about is….. Qing Tian Lin.”
Qing Yu’s face that had been smiling suddenly became muted and restrained.
Qing Ye Li then continued to say: From what I remember, he is an utterly ruthless person who would avenge the slightest ridicule or humiliation suffered, where no one could possibly remain safely untouched after antagonizing him. I once went to find trouble with him in the White Fens Land before but he did not choose to retaliate back then, but endured it silently. What do you think that implies?”
“That he has something more important he is dealing with on his hands, and is unable to respond to your taunting.” Qing Yu said in a contemplative tone.
“That’s what I think as well. But hasn’t what he wants the most all this time been you all along? Could he be prepping for a bigger and grander plot…..” When that thought came into Qing Ye Li’s mind, his long sharp eyebrows suddenly furrowed up as a feeling of unease crept into his heart.
“Don’t overthink it.” Qing Yu said rea.s.suringly. “Maybe his focus isn’t on me this time and that will be just great.”
“But I believe that he will never give up on you. You are after all….. his most ideal and favourite puppet.” Qing Ye Li almost spat out those words in contempt, pausing at every word.
