Chương 1931: Heartache

The guard lowered his head. Facing such a brutal old master, he did not dare to continue to say more.

The old general saw that the guard no longer spoke, and he turned to look at Qinyi. "Yi'er, continue doing the same as before. Make sure to protect the safety of those ladies and these people. I'll leave it to you."

The old general's voice trembled; he closed his eyes with some reluctance and only opened them a few seconds later.

Qinyi stepped forward and nodded firmly. "Father, don't worry. As long as I am still alive, I will certainly not put these people in the path of any danger."

"Good."

The old master patted Qinyi's shoulder, turned around, and walked with firm steps toward the outside of the house.

Every step he took was heavy, hammering hard upon Qinyi's heart, causing her heartache as she watched the old master's departure.
