But when it mattered most, the very person he was trying to protect didn't believe him. Tang Xuewu could understand Qin Long's feeling of helplessness.
Qin Long was also touched by her empathy. Although he was a proud Heavenly Dragon, he still longed to be understood. If his brothers didn't trust him, he would never be able to lead the Heavenly Dragon to invincibility.
"It's really all right now, Xuewu. Don't be sad." Qin Long gazed at Tang Xuewu with a smile.
"Mhm." Tang Xuewu smiled back, content.
After a moment's pause, her confusion returned. "Qin Long, what exactly did you do in the past? I wouldn't have doubted you otherwise. And why do you have so much money? Is it really a subsidy from the Grand Xia Nation?" Tang Xuewu couldn't stop herself from questioning him.
"The money is mine," Qin Long admitted, though he was unable to explain further. "And none of it was obtained illegally. It's all clean."
