Li Wei lifted his chin slightly, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Good. I was afraid you might run away."
Through the Sky Eye Technique, he'd already confirmed that Li Yong was just an eight-star warrior. Someone of that level daring to "teach" him a lesson? That was comedy at its finest.
He turned his head. "Xue'er, stand behind me."
Li Xue obediently retreated, almost instinctively slipping into the same position she had taken last night when Li Wei crushed Li Yujing. She peeked from behind Li Wei's broad back, her entire expression softening with a warmth she didn't notice in herself.
So tall… so steady…
She felt strangely safe simply watching Li Wei's shoulders.
Not far away, Li Meiran noticed that tiny look of admiration on Li Xue's face.
His teeth nearly shattered at the sight.
"Damn it!" he spat. "Li Yong, why are you dawdling? Hurry up and beat him..."
