Her fingertips were slightly cold, slowly clenching with a touch of reassurance.
"No matter what, I'm still here." She gazed into Chu Zheng's eyes, her voice soft yet clear and powerful:
"If you feel the road ahead is difficult and hard to bear alone, there's no harm in speaking out. Perhaps I can't fully understand, but I will do my utmost to help you."
Her gaze was clear, with complete openness in her eyes.
Chu Zheng was slightly taken aback, feeling the cool and firm touch from his palm, the unease in his heart slightly calmed.
He clasped Xue Qing's hand in return, not speaking much, but giving it a firm squeeze, taking a deep breath, suppressing all chaotic thoughts, his tone becoming steady again:
"Rest assured, the sky won't fall."
As it stands now, he already holds Heaven's Mandate in his hands, everything is still on track.
After a while, Chu Zheng spoke, asking Xue Qing to send someone to find Jun Huang to come over.
