He looked at the young girl with red-rimmed eyes and offered his final words.
His heart softened. He knew the hardships of the Martial Dao and didn't want her to have to suffer through them.
"Mm!"
Xu Qing lowered her head, biting her lip, afraid she would start to cry.
The two had depended on each other since childhood. To her, Xu Yang was both brother and father. If he hadn't worked himself to the bone to support their family, she would have starved to death somewhere long ago.
Now that they were parting, she felt as if her whole world was collapsing.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'll help take care of Xiaqing. I'll make sure no one bullies her," said Qiu Wenjie.
Xu Yang thanked him, then turned to Zhou Shunchang. "Take care, Uncle. I'll have to trouble you to look after Xiaqing."
With that, he gave a deep bow.
"You can go without any worries," Zhou Shunchang said with a smile.
