Xi Qianxue's words stirred something in Mu Qingge's heart.
She helped the former up from her embrace and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Xi Qianxue raised her face, her eyes hinting at tears. "The master now is no longer the same as before."
Hmm?
Xi Qianxue's words left Mu Qingge greatly surprised.
She looked at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Under Mu Qingge's consoling, Xi Qianxue slowly calmed her emotions. She said, "The master used to be like my parents, kind and gentle. But recently, in the past six months, I've constantly felt that the master's gaze on me has an unusual glow, one I can't describe, and it scares me."
Xi Qianxue's words made Mu Qingge recall today's scene in the Divine Hall with the three of them present.
The Divine Venerable's gaze towards Xi Qianxue indeed seemed off. That kind of greed and possessiveness...
Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly, "Did he ever do anything to you?"
