Chapter 188 Becoming a Burden
She suddenly fell to her knees with a thud, her knees hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
Tears streamed down her fair cheeks as she sobbed, "Miss, Yunmei is not afraid of danger! Ever since I followed you, I have made up my mind to follow you through life and death. No matter how rough the road ahead, as long as I can be by your side, even if it's through mountains of swords and seas of fire, Yunmei will never frown! Please, take Yunmei with you!"
Seeing Yunmei so determined, Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but be shocked.
She quickly reached out to hold Yunmei's arms, trying to pull her up from the ground, while anxiously shouting, "What are you doing? Get up quickly! Get up quickly!"
"Miss..." Yunmei looked at the woman in front of her with tears in her eyes. Her delicate body seemed like it would be blown down by the wind at any time.
Her eyes were filled with sadness and reluctance, and tears kept flowing out like a flood.
Dongfang Qingmo gently helped Yunmei up and said softly, "Yunmei, don't cry. Let me talk about the pros and cons of this."
"You've just recovered from a serious illness and are still weak. Forcing a fight now will only worsen your injuries and even endanger your lives. Besides, I'm no longer the frail woman who needed protection. After these days of training, I've become more than capable of protecting myself. No matter where I am, I can handle any danger and protect myself. But Chunhua, Qiushi, and the others... alas! I've lost them forever, and I never want to see those close to me suffer misfortune because of me. Therefore, I can't take you with me on this journey, because you might just become a burden."
At this point, a trace of pain flashed in Dongfang Qingmo's eyes.
Yunmei silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded slightly to show that she understood what the young lady said.
She knew very well that what the young lady said was true, and that the current situation for herself and others was not suitable for her to follow the young lady and take risks.
Moreover, if the young lady's safety is affected because of me and others, I will be held responsible even if I die.
"So, do you understand?" Dongfang Qingmo stared into Yunmei's eyes, as if he wanted to see her true thoughts deep in her heart through those clear eyes.
Yunmei didn't dare to look directly at the young lady. She slowly lowered her head and replied softly, "I understand, young lady."
Dongfang Qingmo saw this and gently patted Yunmei's shoulder, saying comfortingly, "I'm glad you understand. When I return, I will definitely meet you again. In the meantime, you must take good care of yourself."
After saying that, Zi Li excitedly opened the door and ran out like a happy little deer. She rushed straight to Dongfang Qingmo who was standing not far away, hugged her arms tightly, and called out in a sweet voice, "Sister Qingmo!"
Seeing this, Yunmei, who was standing by, tactfully stepped aside quietly, leaving them enough space.
Dongfang Qingmo looked at the cute little girl in front of him with eyes full of doting. He stretched out his fingers and gently scratched the tip of Zi Li's pink nose. He said softly, "Zi Li, you're awake. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Zi Li raised her head, a smile as bright and sweet as a spring flower blooming on her face, and she answered crisply: "Zi Li actually doesn't need to sleep at all." After saying that, she blinked mischievously.
