"Youyou, don't run off. I will protect you. No matter what happens, I will always stand in front of you," Shangguan Qing said firmly. He felt her familiar small hand in his and was determined to protect her, no matter what lay below.
"Youyou, stay close to me. I will protect you," Gui Mo also said.
"Mhm, I'll definitely stay by your sides," Shangguan You nodded. She was genuinely touched; it would be a lie to claim she wasn't. Only in the most dangerous times can one see a person's truest thoughts.
"Did you collect the medicinal herbs?"
"I did, but they weren't medicinal herbs, rather a type of fruit. There are exactly seven. Each of you take one; that way, you won't be too hungry." Shangguan You waved her hand, took out seven Biling Fruit from her space, and gave one to each person.
"What is this? It's so sweet!"
