The Sorrowmender

PAID Chapter 148

The dagger wasn't heavy, but she couldn't hold it with one hand, so the mute girl gripped it tightly with both hands.

Yet, her feet remained rooted, unable to take even half a step forward.

Cangyue Xiao was still roaring, almost crazed. He was afraid, but not of the little girl holding the knife; rather, he feared the scholarly gentleman.

Zhou Xu and the others watched the little girl, feeling anxious.

However, Xu Qingzhou was not in a hurry. Overcoming fear is never an easy task; it requires patience and encouragement.

True courage is not a momentary rush of blood to the head, but a process of repeatedly choosing to face fear over succumbing to it.

She was deaf and mute, unable to hear herself speak. Xu Qingzhou could only wait, nothing more.

The little girl was terrified, but whenever she wanted to give up, she would inadvertently look up and meet Xu Qingzhou's gaze.

That gaze was like a blazing light, gradually dispelling the shadows in her heart.

Her eyes began to change. For some reason, she didn't want to disappoint the owner of that light. Finally, she took a small step forward, just a small step.

She looked up again at Xu Qingzhou, and the light she received was still intense. She paused, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, everything seemed to have an answer.

The panic in her eyes was dispelled, replaced by courage. One step, two steps, three steps, until she started to run, with silence in her ears, she moved forward towards the light, thrusting the dagger without hesitation.

"Thud..."

"Ah!"

Cangyue Xiao's voice stopped, his pupils shrank suddenly, staring incredulously at the girl in front of him. He wanted to struggle but couldn't move.
