"Be good, don't worry. Wait for me at home, I'll return soon." Mu Qianyue gently patted his hand. Nalan Jing lacked strength, and if he went, it would be even more dangerous.
"No! I just want to go with you! The palace is terrifying, many people say it's a place that eats people without a trace, I'm afraid you'll never come back once you go... My father and mother abandoned me, my lady, please don't leave me too, alright?"
The youth's unfocused light purple eyes were filled with fear and panic, resembling a sprite that had strayed into the mortal world, piercing Mu Qianyue's heart. Taking a deep breath, she firmly said, "Trust me, I will definitely come back safely!"
If Nalan Zheng truly intended to harm her, although her skills might not be enough to deal with Nalan Zheng, she could certainly save herself to escape. But if she brought Nalan Jing along, it would not be as easy, so she would not allow Nalan Jing to go with her.
Moreover, she didn't want to put him in danger.
