Qi Yang sat there motionless with his head raised. If he hadn't frowned, Ling'er would have thought he was asleep.

He was so quiet, so quiet that it made Ling'er feel a little distressed.

Ling'er was hesitating whether to comfort him or not when she saw Qi Yang open his eyes.

"Brother Yang?" Ling'er called him softly.

"They will be back soon." Qi Yang said.

Ling'er immediately realized who "they" Qi Yang was talking about, and then realized that Liao Yu and the others had been gone for a long time.

"Where did they go just now? They have been gone for so long. Could it be that Liao Yu has some bad ideas again?" Ling'er asked Qi Yang with raised eyebrows.

"That's what it looks like." Since Ling'er had already guessed it, Qi Yang didn't hide anything from her. He just warned her, "So, no matter what happens along the way, please stay calm and don't interfere."

Ling'er was shocked. She was just asking casually. How could she believe that Liao Yu would really do something? When did Brother Keyang's inferences get wrong?

"What do Liao Yu want to do?" Ling'er asked worriedly.

Qi Yang didn't want to say anything, but Ling'er looked like he was asking for answers, so he had no choice but to answer: "Test my injury, and..."

Although Qi Yang didn't say any more, Ling'er had already understood. What he said about testing the injury was just an excuse. Liao Yu actually wanted to take revenge on Brother Yang!

"But I'm not afraid of him." Qi Yang said lightly.

"No! Your injuries can't stand up to this! I have to stop him!" Ling'er was anxious.

Qi Yang didn't investigate what Ling'er said about the "injury all over his body". He hurriedly stopped Ling'er: "No! Please don't come forward, girl! I won't let him find out anything!"

"This has nothing to do with temptation. I will never let him hurt you!" Ling'er couldn't calm down when she thought that Brother Yang might be hurt.

"He was just testing, not hurting..." Qi Yang was interrupted again by Ling'er before he finished speaking.

"It's useless what you say! I must stop him!" Ling'er said firmly.

Qi Yang was also anxious and asked: "Have you never thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"Consequences?" Ling'er was startled when he heard this.

"Young girl, you think you can stop someone if you want to? Even if you can stop her once, what about the second or third time?" Qi Yang asked again.

Ling'er understood immediately. It was because of her that Liao Yu had been targeting Brother Yang, treating him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. It might still be effective for others to stop him, but if she was the one who came forward, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

Oil. She will only make things worse.

Qi Yang was relieved to see Ling'er calm down. The most important thing right now was to prevent Liao Yu from discovering his injuries.

"What should we do?" Ling'er asked anxiously.

"Let nature take its course. If he wants to test it, let him test it. Once he gets what he wants, he will let go." Qi Yang replied.

"But your injury..." Ling'er said sadly.

"It's okay. Shhh! They're coming." Qi Yang lowered his voice before continuing, "Girl, please remember not to intervene in any situation!"

Seeing that Ling'er was still undecided, Qi Yang added, "Didn't the girl promise to listen to me all the way?"

Linger then nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Liao Yu came back with his four junior brothers and the carriage driver.

Several people from the Hengshan faction were talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to be discussing any "bad things" at all. Ling'er couldn't help but hope that Brother Yang would make a miscalculation once too!
