Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

Yan Lingji looked at Bai Yifei's fleeing back and knew that it was time for her to leave.

So she turned to Qin Tian and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

She said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, thank you for saving my life today. If you hadn't shown up in time, I'm afraid I would have been kidnapped by Bai Yifei."

"I will remember this kindness in my heart. I will repay you in the future. Now, I must go find my companions."

Her eyes were firm and bright, revealing a determination and confidence.

Her words revealed her respect for Qin Tian and her expectations for the future.

When Qin Tian heard that Yan Lingji was leaving, his expression did not change much, he just nodded slightly.

However, the mysterious smile on his lips is elusive.

It was as if he had anticipated all this, or perhaps he had deeper considerations.

Yan Lingji stood quietly, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity in her eyes.

However, as time passed, Qin Tian still did not react.

She couldn't help but feel confused, her brows slightly furrowed, and she secretly wondered in her heart: "Did I say something wrong?"

Finally, Yan Lingji couldn't help but raise her head, and her eyes met Qin Tian's deep and wise eyes.

In an instant, their eyes met, as if they could penetrate each other's souls.

Just then, she noticed that Qin Tian had a meaningful smile on his lips, and that smile was unpredictable.

This smile was like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky and struck the softest part of Yan Lingji's heart.

She shuddered involuntarily, and an ominous premonition came over her.

What was hidden behind this smile? Was it a mockery or a hint? Yan Lingji couldn't be sure.

As time went on, Yan Lingji felt more and more uneasy. She began to examine every word she had just said, trying to find possible problems or misunderstandings.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the answer.

At this moment, the air around seemed to become heavy, filled with a tense atmosphere.

Although Qin Tian's tone was calm and his words were full of wisdom, Yan Lingji's intuition told her that things were far from simple.

She vaguely felt that she seemed to be caught in some complicated situation, and Qin Tian was the one who held the key.

She began to feel alert, and an indescribable worry gradually spread in her heart.

Yan Lingji felt that it was not advisable to stay here for long. She needed to find a safer place so that she could better think and plan future actions.

So, Yan Lingji bowed politely to Qin Tian to express her respect and gratitude to him, then turned around without hesitation and walked quickly out of the alley.

However, just as she took a few steps, a strong hand tightly grasped her white and soft wrist.

The power of this hand was so great that Yan Lingji couldn't break free at all.

She turned around in surprise, with confusion and dissatisfaction showing on her beautiful face.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Why are you stopping me?"

There was a hint of anger in her voice, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Qin Tian's behavior.

Qin Tian did not answer her question immediately, but stared into her charming eyes silently, as if he wanted to see her innermost thoughts through her eyes.

Yan Lingji turned her head angrily, her eyes shooting straight at Qin Tian like sharp arrows, asking him why he wanted to stop her from leaving.

However, facing this angry questioning, Qin Tian simply smiled evilly, with a hint of playfulness and unfathomable depth in his smile.

He walked slowly in front of Yan Lingji, his movement was both elegant and confident.

Before Yan Lingji could fully react, he gently lifted her chin with his hand, an action full of intimacy and control.

Yan Lingji's body stiffened slightly. She didn't expect Qin Tian to be so close to her.

Qin Tian looked directly at Yan Lingji, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

He whispered in Yan Lingji's ear: "Do you really think I'm a good person? You used me as a shield and put me in danger. Now that we're out of danger, you want to run away? It's not that easy."

His voice was low and powerful, every word full of accusation and innuendo.

These words made Yan Lingji's heart tremble violently.

She realized that Qin Tian might have seen through some of her previous behaviors, and she did use Qin Tian as a stopgap measure to protect herself in extreme situations.

Yan Lingji's expression became complicated, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

Yan Lingji stood there, looking at Qin Tian with mixed feelings. She knew it was necessary to explain her previous behavior to him.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, chased Qin Tian a few steps, and then said, "Your Majesty."

Qin Tian looked at Yan Lingji calmly, as if waiting for her explanation.

Yan Lingji organized her words and said sincerely: "What happened today was indeed a temporary measure I took under urgent circumstances."

"The situation was critical at the time and I had no other options, so I had to turn to you for help. I never meant to look down on or take advantage of you."

"I, Yan Lingji, will remember your great kindness in my heart and will repay you one day."

There was determination and sincerity in her eyes, trying to make Qin Tian feel her sincerity.

Yan Lingji expressed her apologies and future commitments to Qin Tian, ​​looking forward to his understanding and tolerance.

However, after hearing her words, Qin Tian just smiled and shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his expression.

He said, "Yan Lingji, today is the first time we two have a real meeting. Why do you expect me to trust you completely?"

Although his tone was calm, it revealed a sharp insight.

Yan Lingji was choked by this straightforward response, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knew that Qin Tian's suspicion was not unreasonable. After all, in the complex world of martial arts, trust takes a long time to build.

Yan Lingji expressed her apologies and future commitments to Qin Tian, ​​looking forward to his understanding and tolerance.

However, when Qin Tian bluntly expressed his doubts about Yan Lingji's promise, Yan Lingji's face instantly turned ugly.

A hint of disappointment and embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and the smile that was barely maintained at the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared, replaced by a subtle stiffness.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, not because of embarrassment, but a physiological reaction to emotional excitement.

Yan Lingji's eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily, as if silently telling of her inner conflict and anxiety.

Although she felt uncomfortable, Yan Lingji forced herself to remain calm. She knew that an emotional outburst at this moment would only make things worse.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her expression, but the unspeakable embarrassment still left traces on her face.
