Bloodstained Hero's Clothes

Chapter 1253 A Frugal Struggle to Obtain Three Promises (Part Two)
It turned out that this was all thanks to what Liu Kun whispered in his ear before leaving. Liu Kun told him that Ling'er's feelings for him were no less than his own, and asked him to think about why Ling'er was angry. He put himself in her shoes, thought long and hard, and finally came up with this strange answer, which unexpectedly turned out to be correct.

Ling'er was not satisfied with Yang-gege's overly vague guarantee. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, waiting for him to elaborate.

Unfortunately, Qi Yang failed to guess Ling'er's thoughts this time. He thought Ling'er was still pursuing what had just happened, so he quickly explained, "I originally wanted to discuss it with you, Miss, but the situation at the time..." Noticing that Ling'er's brows furrowed in displeasure, Qi Yang quickly stopped.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ling'er asked coldly.

Regardless, admitting one's mistake is never wrong. Qi Yang said softly, "I know I was wrong."

"Besides that, what else did you do wrong?" Ling'er asked again.

"Huh?" Qi Yang stared blankly at Ling'er. This stumped him. He had thought about that answer for a very long time.

Seeing the rare look of helplessness on his face, Ling'er quickly looked away. She couldn't look anymore; if she did, she would soften her heart again.

Without making things difficult for him, Ling'er gave a direct answer: "You shouldn't have taken my bag and left me with nothing, not even a dagger."

Qi Yang immediately realized that Ling'er was blaming him for not leaving a weapon for self-defense. But at that moment, he was certain there was no immediate danger. Besides, how could he stop Ling'er if he left a dagger behind?

Ling'er continued, "Keeping the dagger will make things much easier, whether it's cutting the rope or severing an arm..."

Upon hearing "cut off the arm," Qi Yang was horrified. Remembering the blood on the rope, he disregarded all etiquette, reaching out to grab Ling'er's arms and anxiously saying, "I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have left you alone!" Sensing the sudden surge of tension and worry in her brother Yang, Ling'er's eyes also reddened, and she asked with a wronged expression, "Do you know how worried I was?"

"I know, I know." Qi Yang couldn't help but hug Ling'er, feeling her worry deeply. He whispered a promise, "It will never happen again!"

Ling'er buried her face in Yang-gege's arms, letting her tears spill over onto his robes. The slightly cool embrace wasn't warm, but it still gave her an unparalleled sense of security. Yang-gege was trying his best to protect her unharmed, but what she wanted was for Yang-gege to be safe and well. When would Yang-gege understand?

She couldn't forgive Yang-gege just because she was feeling soft-hearted! Ling'er tried hard to calm herself and continue with her plan. She reluctantly broke free from Yang-gege's embrace and turned away indifferently.

The sudden change in the girl's attitude in his arms took Qi Yang by surprise, and he stood there stunned. It seemed that simply asking Ling'er for forgiveness was far from enough. He pondered for a moment, then walked up to Ling'er, presented the thin rope with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "My mistakes are unforgivable. As long as you can calm down, I will let you decide my fate."

What does this mean? Ling'er looked at the thin rope in confusion. Was Brother Yang telling her to tie it back up?

Ling'er was both amused and exasperated, and said helplessly, "Young Master Qi is a master at untying knots, so dealing with a mere thin rope is a piece of cake for him."

"I will not resist!" Qi Yang quickly added.

"Hmph!" Ling'er snorted coldly and turned her head away. What could she do if she didn't resist? Why would she be angry that Yang-gege had tied her up? She had thought Yang-gege had finally come to his senses. It seemed she had just gotten lucky, a complete fluke.
