The crowd was filled with righteous fury, itching to grab Shi Hao and give him a thorough beating so that he would never dare think of Luo Qing'er again.
Yet Shi Hao was indifferent, his gaze fixed on Luo Qing'er.
After a moment of thought, Luo Qing'er said, "Young Master Shi, do you know what my sister is called now?"
Shi Hao shook his head and replied, "I only know her surname is Ruan, I did not inquire further, as we have met but once."
Hearing the surname Ruan, Luo Qing'er's demeanor visibly brightened, then she smiled sweetly and said, "The journey to Hua Yuan Nation is a thousand miles long, and Qing'er is but a weak girl. Could I ask Young Master Shi to accompany me, both to protect me and to guide the way?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt like banging their heads against the wall.
Damn it!
Had they been taken in just like that?
