"You tell me, why does that woman keep trying to escape?"
The man's voice was clear and cold, indifferent without a trace of anger.
"This Lord is willing to have her by my side, not despising her weakness, willing to offer her protection. Why does she still keep trying to flee?"
He held immense power, his might astounding the heavens, yet he had never liked any woman, nor knew what it felt like to like someone.
But he was willing to protect that woman, tolerating her repeated acts of defiance without the wish to kill her.
Ye Qianming thought, he must like that woman!
But he was already conceding to that woman, no longer minding her past disrespect and rudeness!
Why does she still keep thinking of escape? As if seeing him was like seeing a mouse upon encountering a cat!
"Ah?"
Beiqing and Feng Yu were both stunned by his question.
Feng Yu was better, with just a moment of surprise before regaining his composure.
Beiqing, that single-minded and indiscreet man, was still staring at his own master, unable to wrap his head around this for a long while!
My goodness!
Is this really our master?!
Is this our master who is ice-cold and unfeeling, dignified and proper?!
Beiqing looked at his master who usually was indifferent to all matters, ruthless in killing, like the Divine King high above the Nine Heavens, untouchable, now furrowing his brows, showing a hint of confusion in his eyes as he asked the question. He almost pinched his leg harshly to see if he was dreaming!
My God!
This is too surreal!
Perhaps his shock was too apparent, or maybe his attitude greatly displeased Ye Qianming.
The man's pair of deep and cold eyes swept over him.
"This Lord is asking you a question!"
What now?
"Oh!"
Scanned by his master's icy gaze, Beiqing instantly shuddered back to reality.
"Actually, um... Master, I think... probably... the Evil Doctor... does not understand your feelings?"
Seeing his master's displeased expression, for the first time, the thick-skinned Beiqing felt a strong sense of crisis!
He answered cautiously while continuously observing his master's facial expressions.
Fearing that a careless word would get him swept away by his master's sleeve.
"Impossible!" Ye Qianming frowned.
"I've told her my name and even allowed her to dine with me at the same table!"
Not only that...
"I've also allowed her to touch me."
Anyone who touched him without permission was already dead! She was the only exception!
"I have repeatedly shown mercy, and even bestowed the Jiuyou Phoenix Ring onto her. Isn't that enough to make clear my intentions?"
Ye Qianming's eyebrows were tightly knit, his face filled with displeasure as he looked at Beiqing.
If these are not considered as revealing my feelings to that woman, then what is?
"It's not that... Master..." Beiqing felt uneasy under his master's intense gaze.
How could he explain to his master that the Evil Doctor probably didn't realize that these actions meant he liked her?
Thinking back, ever since the master returned from Jiuyu Mountain, he has been adamant about capturing the Evil Doctor; such behavior would make anyone think that the master is seeking vengeance!
Moreover, although they knew that the master's actions were meant to be kind to the Evil Doctor, the Evil Doctor probably didn't know!
She doesn't understand the master!
While Beiqing was on the verge of tears, it was at this time that Feng Yu finally spoke up, saving him from his predicament.
"Cough... Master, the Evil Doctor probably doesn't realize that you have special feelings for her... Have you... not told her that you like her?"
The implication being, Master, have you not confessed your feelings?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qianming froze completely.
