Surrounded by tall trees, the coolness of the night passed by, the rustling of leaves could be heard, and a few faint wails could be heard.
Gardenia turned on the flashlight and looked for it according to the arrow marked by the system, still muttering a little dissatisfied.
"Didn't any of those people realize that something was wrong?"
The ball of light floated and shimmered beside her, and she said cautiously.
"Maybe he discovered it and ignored it on purpose."
After that, he diverted her attention.
"Sir, we're just across this path."
Gardenia wrinkled the tip of her delicate nose, and walked to confirm after hearing the words.
"He wasn't bullied, was he?"
Glancing at the screen, the system chose to remain silent.
But there was no need for it to speak, Gardenia had already seen the scene over there.
Hearing the commotion, the standing young man looked sideways expressionlessly, with a bit of cruelty around him.
He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a good-looking face and delicate eyebrows. He had just finished a fight and was wearing paint, making him look inexplicably scary.
It seemed that the light was dazzling, and the other party squinted his eyes slightly, but he was already on guard subconsciously.
Gardenia's eyes lit up when she finally found the person. She moved the flashlight away thoughtfully and walked towards him.
As she got closer, Yu Qichi could see her appearance clearly, and the gloom on her face subsided slightly.
He lowered his head and glanced at the people on the ground, showing no intention of talking to her. He pursed his pale lips and prepared to leave.
When passing by Gardenia, someone grabbed her wrist.
Yu Qichi paused, lowered his eyes, and then spoke unhurriedly.
"let go."
Xu didn't drink water for a long time, and his voice was still hoarse with some discomfort.
Seeing his unfamiliar look and knowing that he didn't recognize her, Gardenia puffed up her cheeks calmly, feeling a little depressed.
She subconsciously let go of her hand, and when she saw that he wanted to leave, she hurriedly chased after him with a low tone of disapproval.
"You are hurt."
Yu Qichi frowned and was about to say something when he felt a slight tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, Gardenia spoke seriously.
"Don't worry, I'm a good person."
"..."
Yu Qichi's eyes became a little strange. He was silent for a while and then spoke in a compromising manner.
"What do you want from me?"
The little girl answered naturally.
"Help you take care of your wounds."
After looking at her carefully for a moment, Yu Qichi couldn't help but frown.
Gardenia has been caught and tortured since noon today. She is wearing a small black dress with a square collar and the length reaches above the knees, which shows off her figure very well.
His eyes touched the fair skin, and he subconsciously turned his head.
You don't need to think carefully to know that this is a certain young lady coming to the banquet tonight.
Very different from him.
Feeling the gradual loss of strength in his body, Yu Qichi pursed his lips and expressed shock.
"Need not."
After saying that, he pushed her hand away and tried to leave, but he stumbled and subconsciously held on to the wall.
Gardenia leaned forward to help him, and after thinking for a while, she was afraid that his pride would not allow it, so she spoke thoughtfully.
"It doesn't matter, you are the second most powerful in the world."
After finishing speaking, there was no need for him to ask, so he just continued to add on his own.
"Of course I am the most powerful one."
"..."
Yu Qichi lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.
There was sudden movement in the distance. He glanced at his wound, but this time he didn't resist.
Gardenia, who consciously comforted him, showed a relieved expression and turned to look at the person lying on the ground.
"What should they do? Do you want to call someone over?"
"……Need not."
Thinking that the eldest lady's kindness was causing trouble, Yu Qichi was silent for a while and planned to explain.
After all, he didn't want to cause any trouble to himself.
