With murderous intent in his eyes, Gu Zhao asked Qin Xinglie how he knew He Zhao was her.

Qin Xinglie had seen this murderous expression several times, but Gu Zhao was only targeting other people at that time, such as Lin Weikang, Qin Youjin, etc. Qin Xinglie never thought that one day, Gu Zhao would look at him with such eyes.

This was obviously not because her identity was exposed - at Douchuan Pass, when Gu Zhao's identity was revealed when he fell off the cliff just now, his mood was very stable.

But just now, she must have suddenly thought of something related to this identity, which aroused her murderous intention.

As for what else is related to this identity? There is only the real He Zhao.

Did she burst into such anger or even murderous intentions because she suddenly remembered that the man would be implicated after her identity was revealed?

In order to protect that He Zhao, she actually treated herself with such eyes and attitude? In her heart, he, Qin Xinglie, was an enemy? A villain who was so despicable that he implicated innocent people?

Qin Xinglie sat in a corner of the cave, lowered his eyes, hiding the pain in his heart, and replied in a hoarse voice, "After you and Zhong Yunhai hid in the courtyard, I was worried about your safety, so I have been following you secretly."

Gu Zhao's heart suddenly tightened.

Have you been following her secretly? Where have you followed her? After she returned to Shicheng, did Qin Xinglie still follow her?

Did he...discover Xiaoxiao?

If Qin Xinglie knew about Xiaoxiao's existence because of this, Gu Zhao really wanted to slap himself.

She guessed that Qin Xinglie would follow her, but at that time, the death-seeking army made a sneak attack at night, which was very important. As the commander, shouldn't Qin Xinglie be on the front line of the battle, fighting with his men?

Gu Zhao's voice couldn't help but become tense, "So, how long have you been following me?"

Qin Xinglie was silent for a while.

Gu Zhao had clearly acquiesced to his secret protection before, but now, because of that He Zhao, his words contained accusations against him, as if his stalking had turned into an act to hurt Gu Zhao.

He really wanted to say, I'm not following you to spy on anything, I just want to protect you.

He also wanted to say that there was so much chaos in Douchuan Pass that night, and you openly carried Zhong Kewei's head and commander's seal and left alone. Did you know that there are also hidden masters in Commander Zhong's mansion?

The reason why those Donghao masters did not appear in front of Gu Zhao was because they were blocked by Qin Xinglie as soon as they showed up.

Qin Xinglie also wanted to say that in the past, he had always been by Gu Zhao's side, wearing a wide-brimmed hat to protect her. That was his happiest experience, and it was also the source of strength that supported him in persisting for so many years.

So he really didn't want to do bad things with Gu Zhao or peek into Gu Zhao's life. He just wanted to think about it like before and use his wings to block all the wind and rain for Gu Zhao...

Qin Xinglie hasn't felt this desire to confess himself to anyone for a long time.

His thin lips moved, but no sound came out.

Gu Zhao couldn't wait any longer. She repeated the question she just asked, "Tell me! How long have you been following me?"

Qin Xinglie finally raised his eyes and felt that the angry woman in front of him suddenly became unfamiliar.

Gu Zhao had never spoken to him like this before.

When her eyes reflected his figure, there was always a gentle smile on her face.

Even after knowing his true identity, Gu Zhao had never been so angry.

But now this Gu Zhao looked like an enraged female tiger, with hair all over his body, as if he was ready to pounce at any time and fight to the death with him.

Qin Xinglie felt sharp pain in his heart.

Certain scenes that he had deliberately forgotten suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

He lowered his head, the corners of his eyes gradually became moist, and his voice became hoarse, "Gu Zhao, what are you trying to hide from me?"

Gu Zhao heard the hurt in his voice, but her focus was obviously not there.

She was just keenly aware that Qin Xinglie probably didn't discover Xiao Xiao's identity...

He breathed a sigh of relief and Gu Zhao's body slowly relaxed.

However, after going back, he still had to find a way to deal with the beginning and the end, so that Qin Xinglie couldn't think about Xiaoxiao's relationship with him.

Gu Zhao already had the answer to his question. He turned around and was about to return to the entrance of the cave, but someone grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

She looked back and saw that Qin Xinglie had his head lowered, but his arms were stretched out long, and his big hands were tightly grasping the hem of her clothes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhao's tone was no longer as sharp as before.

Qin Xinglie lowered his head and asked quietly, "You are not nervous anymore because I haven't discovered what you are hiding, right?"

Gu Zhao frowned, Qin Xinglie was not a fool, and he could easily deduce something from her reaction.

But Gu Zhao didn't want him to follow the clues and find his little identity.

"Everyone has a secret." Gu Zhao deliberately slowed down his voice, "Qin Xinglie, I have never investigated your secrets, and I hope you will not pursue mine."
