Chapter 796: Chapter 5 First Encounter_2

"So you needn't be so cautious for my sake, thinking yourself as living at the mercy of others," Xu Chuo seemed somewhat impatient with the autumn chill, lightly folding her arms, "To do something is to bear risks, and to achieve great things, one must be prepared for the possibility of no return... You are here to complete what Yue Muzhou left unfinished, aren't you?"

She extended a hand, spreading it in front of Pei Ye, quietly looking at him.

Pei Ye was stunned for a long while, only the autumn wind rustling his hair, until at last he slowly raised his hand, and placed it upon hers.

Xu Chuo smiled, closed her fingers to grasp his hand, her cool skin lingering for a moment before letting go, and her smile faded as she spoke in a clear, steady voice, "No matter what crime you have committed, no matter where you have fallen, I will rescue you; if one day you undertake the act of Jing Ke, I will not be Crown Prince Pill of Yan."
