Nian Bing was never a heartless person. He could leave Long Ling because she had her father and the entire Mage Guild as her backing. He could leave Xue Jing because, given her temper, her not bullying others was decent enough — who would bully her anyway? He could leave Luo Rou mostly because her wisdom was equivalent to a powerful army. As for Feng Nu who had no backing, her unparalleled strength was the best guarantee. Leaving them, Nian Bing felt a tinge of reluctance at most, but no concern. However, the little girl named Xi Yun in front of him was different. Having left her home, she was alone and unprotected. Though she knew some summoning magic, it was not enough to protect herself. Adding to it her innocent character, she was in real danger if any mishap occurred...
At this thought, Nian Bing unwillingly stopped in his tracks, asking himself internally: Could he really just leave Mao Mao behind? The answer was no.
