Ye Siming carried Gu Nuo’er out of the main hall.

The moment Old Monk Zhijue met the youth’s eyes, Ye Siming frowned.

He subconsciously protected Gu Nuo’er in his arms.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was as if he was afraid that the old monk would get someone to take the child away from him.

However, Zhijue only looked at him with an old and kind and calm gaze.

“Benefactor, the two of you are covered in blood. To avoid being seen in a sorry state, please leave through the back door.”

After Zhijue finished speaking, he pressed his palms together.

To see blood in a temple was actually a great sin of disrespect to gods and Buddhas.

However, he neither asked for the reason nor asked Ye Siming to pay the price.

He just quietly told him that he could leave.

Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery black eyes and said with her pink lips, “Monk grandpa, I’m sorry for dirtying your hall!”

Zhijue naturally recognized the little princess.

However, at this moment, he smiled lovingly.

“Your Highness, it’s already this monk’s credit to be able to save someone seeing that you’re safe and sound.”

“This hall was built to let the gods and Buddhas listen to everyone’s wishes closer. In that case, saving lives is something that we cultivators should do.”

“You don’t have to apologize. Your Highness, please take care of your health.”

The child was touched when she heard this. She obediently pressed her palms together and returned a simple bow.

Ye Siming left through the back door with Gu Nuo’er.

Their warhorse had already been brought over by Old Monk Zhijue.

Gu Nuo’er was about to climb onto the horse herself when Ye Siming carried her and placed her on the saddle.

This time, he freed his right hand and placed it under the child’s butt.

“The journey down the mountain is bumpy. You can sit like this,” Ye Siming said calmly.

Gu Nuo’er blinked her round eyes. “Sit on Elder Brother Siming’s hand?”

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “What’s the problem?”

The child had already experienced a bumpy ride when she entered Qingxi Village previously.

Ye Siming didn’t want her to feel bad after she had suffered so much.

Gu Nuo’er blinked her eyelashes, a hint of confusion on her fair face.

Why did she feel that something was amiss?

However, Elder Brother Siming must be doing this for her own good!

With such trust, the child sat down.

Ye Siming was stunned.

The feeling of him holding tofu at home usually seemed to be exactly the same as now.

The youth came back to his senses and guided the reins with his left hand, slowly riding the horse down the mountain.

Along the way, the spring scenery in the mountain was lively. Green trees and beautiful wildflowers could be seen everywhere.

The child sat in front, her hair fluttering and the side of her face tender and rosy.

“Elder Brother Siming, what would you have done if I hadn’t woken up just now?” she asked curiously.

When Ye Siming heard this, he frowned first.

The youth’s eyes immediately turned dark and cold.

“Then I’ll go look for you.”

“Look for me?” Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and turned to look at him. “The Ninth Heaven is very high. It’ll be a little difficult for you to go up.”

Ye Siming’s thin lips curled up slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

“Is it high?” It wasn’t like he hadn’t been there before.

Gu Nuo’er told him in a soft voice, “But it doesn’t matter, Elder Brother Siming. Even if I couldn’t come back just now, I would have thought of a way to look for you.”

“Do you still remember? I told you that if we get separated, you just have to stand there and wait for me! I won’t abandon you!”

Ye Siming looked down at the child in his arms.

Her expression was very serious, and her eyes were black and bright.

Gu Nuo’er seemed to be thinking of ways to give him more comfort.

Ye Siming sensed the child’s intentions. He raised his eyebrows with an arrogant disposition and a thin smile on his lips.

The youth suddenly placed his head on Gu Nuo’er’s small shoulder.

He turned his head and smiled in her ear. “Remember what you said. No matter what, neither of us should forget about running toward each other.”
