Huang Quan said nonchalantly, “Never mind. It takes too much time.”
“It’s just a cough. I can use spiritual energy to soothe it when I’me alone,” she added. “I don’t want to leave this City.”
Ye Qin asked, “Is it because of Nangong Mian?”
Huang Quan nodded and, with a carefree expression, said, “Yes, I have to accompany my third brother.”
Ye Qin inquired further, “Continuously?”
Huang Quan clarified, “Of course not. When my third Brother becomes stronger, I will accompany him to find our parents and our older brothers. They’ve all gone missing. My third Brother has always wanted to go look for them, but he had to stay in the capital to take care of me, so it’s necessary for him to become stronger before setting out.”
Ye Qin commented, “You are more capable than he is. If you want, you can completely protect him and help him get started on the journey.”
Huang Quan responded, “There’s no problem with that, but I can’t be by his side twenty-four hours a day. There will always be times when I’m not there, so it’s essential to let my third Brother become stronger before he sets out.”
“Then you’ll have to wait a long time,” Ye Qin said. “In Huang City, anyone who becomes a Profound Spiritual Master is considered a master, but in other empires, there are countless Profound Spiritual Masters.”
Ye Qin looked at her and continued, “Your third Brother is currently a sixth-level Spiritual Master, and he’s considered a genius among the younger generation in this empire. However, outside, he might not be seen as a genius outside.”
He gazed at her and added, “If you’re willing to wait, there’s no need to rush. I’ll help you find your parents, and when we have leads, you can go with your third Brother. Consider it a way to repay the favor.”
After listening, Huang Quan felt a bit uneasy, almost guilty, because their conversation sounded more like a mutual partnership rather than her unilaterally helping Ye Qin.
However…
Ye Qin’s background appeared to be quite complex, and with his assistance, they might find her parents sooner.
“Alright,” Huang Quan stood up and patted Ye Qin’s shoulder. “We’ll be good brothers from now on, and I will treat you well.” She had taken advantage of him this time, so she was determined to be good to him.
She wasn’t the type to only take advantage without giving back!
Ye Qin held onto her hand and said, “When you talk about being brother, do it in front of your third Brother. Don’t say it to me in private, or else…”
Huang Quan blinked and asked, “Or else?”
Leaning in closer, Ye Qin whispered in her ear, “Or else, I’ll use actions to show you whether I am indeed your ‘brother’!”
She couldn’t help but scoff. Not only did he have a handsome face, but even his voice sounded so pleasant!
He’s quite something!
Huang Quan leaned back slightly from Ye Qin and created some distance, looking at him with a playful smile. She said, “I can!”
Ye Qin asked, “You can what?”
Of course, she could do many things to him!
No, she couldn’t take advantage of a younger person!
Huang Quan had lived for many years, and she was much older than this young man. She couldn’t be a cradle-snatcher!
She considered herself to be quite ethical. She smiled and said, “If you don’t like the idea of being brothers with me, we can be siblings instead.”
Ye Qin responded, “…”
Why couldn’t she have a more conventional idea?
For example…
As he suddenly had a strange thought in his mind, Ye Qin immediately let go of Huang Quan’s hand, turned his head away with a guilty conscience, and said, “I want to stay here. Please arrange a room for me.”
“That’s not allowed,” Huang Quan had principles and couldn’t be swayed by beauty. She said, “My third Brother hasn’t agreed yet.”
Ye Qin said, “I’ll talk to him later, and he will agree.”
Huang Quan asked, “Are you that confident?”
Ye Qin replied, “Yes.”
“Alright,” Huang Quan said, “Considering your confidence, I’ll arrange it for you. But if you can’t persuade my third Brother, you’ll have to leave. We can’t force him.”
