"Master Tuantuan, sorry for the offense!"
The last slash almost grazed the man's face, ripping his mask, and Qin Xin finally freed herself from the ropes.
But in her haste to break free, she forgot that the carriage's rear seat wasn't a bed. As she kicked backward, her entire body rolled downwards.
Seeing her head about to hit the floor—
Nalan Ye Jue swiftly moved, his long arm scooping her back into his embrace.
A fragrant embrace.
He finally had a legitimate excuse to hold her.
"You, you're awake?" Qin Xin's face reddened, momentarily stunned, then realized, "You woke up earlier? You've been awake all along, so why didn't you cut the ropes? What were you doing?!"
She had thought herself a hero rescuing a beauty.
The first to cut the ropes and save her mentor.
Who knew her mentor had already undone the time powers yet still lay there doing nothing!
The man remained composed and calmly said, "No, I also just woke up."
