"Naive girl, there are some things you can't merely see with your eyes, but must feel with your heart and learn to understand. Perhaps Young Master Lin Chen also has his own compelling difficulties."
Elder Qing, seeing Yu Weilian's saddened appearance, reached out and gently stroked her head, trying to console her.
Yu Weilian understood that Elder Qing was comforting her, but she also knew that feelings could not be forced; if there was no affection, then there was none.
"Master, your disciple still has some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Yu Weilian bowed to Elder Qing and turned to leave.
She knew that Elder Qing had raised her and cared for her more than the other disciples, and thus she didn't want Elder Qing to see her looking so aggrieved.
"Alas!"
Elder Qing watched Yu Weilian's departing figure, sighed, and her gaze returned to the infant girl, her heart filled with confusion.
