Though the young girl was only twelve, she already had the makings of a beauty.
The plain clothing couldn't hide it; her face was pale, and she clung tightly to the governor's daughter's hand, glancing up at Xu Yang and the others from time to time before quickly lowering her head again.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyue. Mr. Xu is a good man. When I couldn't cultivate back then, it was Mr. Xu who helped me solve it."
"You can rest assured. Mr. Xu will definitely get you to the capital safely!"
Coming closer, the governor's daughter squatted down, grasped Dong Yue's hand, and spoke seriously.
Dong Yue slowly lifted her head, glanced at Xu Yang, then stared at the governor's daughter and nodded heavily.
"Thank you, sister, for taking care of me for so long."
The governor's daughter reached out and rubbed Dong Yue's head, sighing inwardly as a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
Xu Yang raised his brow slightly; Dong Yue's reaction surprised him!
