Tang Qian lay on Hua Ruge's body and cried for a long time. Hua Ruge waited for her emotions to stabilize before he asked: "What are your plans in the future?"
"My father is dead. The other elders of the sect are all fighting for the position of the number one elder of the Pill Dao. No one will stop me." She wiped her tears as she looked at the battlefield in the distance. "I will definitely be thrown into the battlefield very soon."
With her strength, the chances of survival in such a battlefield were simply too small.
Hua Ruge couldn't bear it anymore in his heart, but before he could even open his mouth, he heard her say, "You have to take good care of yourself. Leave the sect as soon as possible.
He didn't expect her to still be thinking about him.
Facing such a kind girl, Hua Ruge really couldn't bear to have her die on the battlefield, so he said: "Come with me, I should be able to protect you from entering the battlefield."
"Follow you?" Joy surfaced in Tang Qian's eyes, but he still asked: "What do you mean?"
"Senior sister, I know you have a good impression of me, but I already have someone else in my heart. I'm afraid I can't accept you." Hua Ruge directly lied.
The pleasant surprise in Tang Qian's eyes slowly faded into disappointment. She lowered her head and said, "So it's like that, I understand."
"But I don't want to see you get hurt either. If you think it's alright, then stay by my side." Hua Ruge continued.
Now that she had the Sky City in her hands and was a key target of her Profound Yin Sect, she could definitely bring two people with her as protection.
Tang Qian shook his head and said, "If you accept me, I am naturally willing to follow you to the ends of the earth.
Hua Ruge never thought that this lady would have such a strong temper. She could not help but be vexed at herself for saying such words, but she could not just stand there and watch Tang Qian commit suicide.
At this point, she looked a little sad.
"Huh?" Tang Qian was surprised, and then said: "Sorry, did I make you sad?"
"It's been a long time. Senior sister, I truly want to protect you." Hua Ruge said seriously.
Tang Qian's heart was moved, but he asked curiously: Aren't you Elder Luo's follower? Now that Elder Luo has died in Ancient Dragon City, do you not need to go onto the battlefield? "
"Followers?" Hua Ruge was startled for a moment, and very quickly recalled that the last time they met, she was indeed with Luo Yi.
"Isn't it?" Tang Qian asked.
Hua Ruge smiled and shook his head: "Didn't Senior Sister hear about one of the four people who went to negotiate with Ancient Dragon City coming back alive?"
"There seems to be such a thing. They said that they chose to protect us after the three great sects discussed it, but I was too sad so I didn't pay attention to it." Tang Qian replied.
Hua Ruge pointed to himself and said: "That's me."
"You?" Tang Qian was extremely shocked.
In her eyes, Li Dahai was just an outer disciple. After becoming a pill refiner, his strength was not even comparable to hers. How could he have his current status?
"Senior Sister, come with me." Hua Ruge said seriously.
Seeing her sincere expression, Tang Qian could not help but nod his head: "Okay."
Hua Ruge heaved a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said, "When we get back, I'll talk, and you can go along with it."
"I'll listen to you." Tang Qian nodded.
Because the things that Tang Qian had brought with him were all in the spatial space, there was no need to go back and pack up. They directly followed Hua Ruge back to the small cave at the Profound Yin Sect side.
On the way, Hua Ruge asked: "How is Master alchemist?"
She rather liked that foolish old man Cheng Sheng. Although the age gap was not small, it could still be considered as speculative.0
"I've seen him become a pill refiner twice after you left. He was still okay, but he would talk about you and never find a good ingredient boy again." Tang Qian said.
Hua Ruge chuckled. She believed that there would not be any Tier 9 Pill Refiners willing to be his little ingredient boy.
"If possible, I'll go drink with him after this war." Hua Ruge said.
She wished there could be a day like that.
Tang Qian looked at her and said, "I'm not mistaken, you're a person who values friendship."
"Senior Sister, you're too kind." Hua Ruge felt a little embarrassed by her praise.
After all, in the outer sect, Hua Ruge's Sky Mansion Academy was a cunning and ruthless person.
The two of them had just arrived outside the cave when the guard bowed and greeted them: "Greetings Lord Protector, the one beside you is?"
"This is my woman. Now that his father is dead, she is by my side." Hua Ruge had already thought of an excuse long ago.
Tang Qian didn't recover his senses for a moment, but when he thought about Hua Ruge's advice to her before, she only needed to agree, so he didn't need to speak up to the guards right now.
"So that's how it is. Lord Protector, please enter." The guard bowed again.
The two of them walked in, and when they reached the stone room, Tang Qian asked in shock: "They call you Protector?"
The majority of the Protectors were Great War Master and Great Soul Master s. If she remembered correctly, Li Dahai was only a five star Battle Master.
"It was by chance that I managed to obtain a treasure. That's why I was able to seal my protector. I was just lucky." Hua Ruge said.
Tang Qian nodded in understanding.
Only then did she realize that there was only one bed in the room, so she stammered, "Where do I sleep at night?"
"It's better if we sleep in the same room. You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the floor." Hua Ruge said directly.
"How can this be ?" Tang Qian was a little embarrassed.
"Then we can't let a girl like you sleep on the ground. It's settled then." Hua Ruge said in a rather magnanimous manner.
Tang Qian naturally did not propose to sleep on the bed with him, so he nodded and said: "Then, thank you."
"Senior Sister, you helped me before, this is nothing." Hua Ruge casually said, and asked again: "Oh right, Senior Sister, Song Ziyang was chosen in the Alchemist Competition, do you know where he is now?"
She wanted to know if it was as Xuan Yuan had said, they were all sent to other places.
"Yes, he left two days after the competition. I don't know where he went exactly." Tang Qian said.
This answer was basically the same as Hua Ruge's imagination. This kind of place would not easily be exposed, and she might be sent there too.
After all, as the battle continued, the Profound Beast Forest became more and more unsafe. The devil sect would definitely not take out their trump card, the Sky City, so early on, but to protect her, they could only move her to a safe place.
She had to keep her temper and act according to the circumstances.
The great battle finally stopped at dusk, both sides were busy recovering and Li Shang had returned to the cave to call for him.
He brought Tang Qian out, and explained that Li Shang was not paying attention to the situation, and said: "The power of the righteous path is stronger than we have estimated, tomorrow we will definitely launch an attack, you can't stay here."
"Then where am I going?" Hua Rui's heart was thumping, but when she spoke, her face was filled with confusion.
