Chapter 111: Innocence Lost (3)

Brother and sister Pang Xiaoyu felt the overwhelming killing intent radiating from him and dared not utter a word.

They were puzzled by this man’s sudden appearance.

The siblings instinctively stepped back to keep a safe distance.

At this moment, Pang Qingyu was terrified of Wuying.

In fact, she had always been afraid of Wuying before; she didn’t even dare speak loudly in his presence. She admired him deeply but never had the courage to confess.

It wasn’t until Luo Xia appeared that she began to panic, finally daring to show herself in front of Situ Tengyi.

Now, once again, she sensed just how terrifying Situ Tengyi truly was.

Only when Luo Xia was by his side did he seem less daunting.

“Qingyu, have you finally given up this time?” Pang Xiaoyu took the opportunity to lecture his sister.

Pang Qingyu sighed, “Whether I want to or not, I have to give up, right?”

If not Luo Xia, it would be some other woman who would enter Situ Tengyi’s heart, but she, Pang Qingyu, would never be able to.

Hearing this, Pang Xiaoyu smiled gently and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry, your prince charming will show up someday.”

Her prince charming?

If it were possible, she truly didn’t want him to appear at all.

Seeing her sister’s brow furrow again, Pang Xiaoyu smoothed it out for her, then glanced toward the still meditating Situ Tengyi. “This guy probably has no luck in love. Seriously, there are so many good girls around him, yet he chooses one with thorns. It’s such a tough road—someone has to stand up for my sister!”

Pang Qingyu knew her brother was trying to comfort her, but she still couldn’t understand Luo Xia’s actions. “Brother, isn’t being favored by Wuying a blessing? Is Luo Xia just playing hard to get?”

Pang Xiaoyu shook his head, and a smile involuntarily appeared as he thought of that pure girl. “At first glance, she seems ordinary, but the more you look, the more you realize she’s like a pearl wrapped in stone, gradually radiating her own light. I think that’s why Situ is so deeply drawn to her.”

Such an intriguing girl—he was quite interested in her himself.

Pang Qingyu frowned. “Brother, do you men really find her more and more beautiful the longer you look?”

Pang Xiaoyu replied, “Men’s eyes on women are definitely different from women’s eyes on women.”

“So, you like Luo Xia too?” Pang Qingyu pressed.

He quickly raised his hands in surrender. “Qingyu, don’t say such things—you’ll get your brother into trouble.”

Pang Qingyu looked over at the still furious Situ Tengyi and sighed.

Honestly, she now admitted that Luo Xia was quite remarkable. How could someone without any spiritual power be so outstanding? She must be extraordinary.

Pang Xiaoyu sighed. “Qingyu, get some rest.”

Clutching her wounded heart and lost in wild thoughts, Pang Qingyu finally fell asleep in her brother’s arms.

The next day.

At the break of dawn, Pang Xiaoyu was the first to awaken.

As he stirred, the girl in his arms woke as well.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she glanced toward Situ Tengyi.

What she saw stunned her.

Situ Tengyi was still meditating!

The aura of a powerful warrior surrounded him so strongly that, were it not for his restless mind, he might have already advanced in rank.

Pang Qingyu’s heart ached—this Wuying brother was torturing himself.

“I’ll go wake Luo Xia.”

The three of them guarded the cave entrance to ensure Luo Xia could sleep well—she was treated better than even an emperor. Truly, Luo Xia’s fate was enviable.

“No need. Let her wake up naturally.”

Situ Tengyi’s cold voice stopped Pang Qingyu’s movement.
