Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 41

While they were walking toward Wang Yu Luo's main entrance, Yan Hui could see a red-clothed figure from far away standing at the entrance. It was craning its neck and watching them approach.

Yan Hui took one look at the figure and said: "When all is said and done, the clan leader of Qi Jue Group really is special. A beauty like Xian Ge, even I may not be able to meet her in her room. But today, she actually receives you at the entrance."

Feng Qian Shuo only lightly fanned himself and smiled. Then he stepped forward and called out: "Xian Ge."

Xian Ge heard his call. Even Yan Hui, who was stood off to the side, could see the change of mood in Xian Ge's eyes. However in the end, Xian Ge chose to silently dip her head and politely curtsy: "Xian Ge respectfully greet Clan Master."

"It has been awhile. You've grown distant." Feng Qian Shuo gave a clear laugh. "Don't stand at the entrance. Let's go in." Done speaking, he was the first to step in.

When Feng Qian Shuo's figure lightly brushed past Xian Ge, her expression became slightly downcast. It was rare for Yan Hui to see her look gloomy.

But Feng Qian Shuo paused one step in front of Xian Ge. He turned his head and looked at Xian Ge. He held out his hand: "It's been too long since I've been here. Do you no longer want to hold my hand?"

Xian Ge was startled. Then she placed her hand in his. His hand closed around hers. Feng Qian Shuo led Xian Ge along with a smile. His tender gaze even made several girls standing in the wings blush with envy.

But probably no one was truly envious. Yan Hui watched them enter Wang Yu Luo, hand in hand. She couldn't help remember a saying, a match made in heaven. That was them, a perfect pair.

Then, Yan Hui had second thoughts. This man had one hundred concubines waiting for him in various places......She couldn't help sighing and feeling regret on behalf of Xian Ge.

Tian Yao, who was standing by Yan Hui, started to follow the pair into Wang Yu Luo. Yan Hui grabbed him back and then hurriedly released him. She started to rub at her numb palm.

Tian Yao tilted his head and looked at her. He didn't understand at all: "What is it?"

"Why are you following after them?" Yan Hui asked, "Didn't you see how picture perfect they were walking together?"

Tian Yao strived hard to maintain his indifferent expression. Only the corner of his mouth twitched: "No."

Yan Hui shot him a glance: "Looking at your face, it might become even more alluring than the Clan Master's face one day, but when comparing your personality to his......Aside from someone like me who's under the influence of drugs, no girl would want to walk with you."

Tian Yao heard Yan Hui's works. He only coldly smirked. His expression was somewhat mocking: "Then that would be great. I want to be alone, never infected by love again."

Yan Hui looked at Tian Yao's back and silently frowned. Then she followed after him.

Entering Wang Yu Luo, Xian Ge and Feng Qian Shuo had gone to Xian Ge's section of the building to discuss matters. Yan Hui and Tian Yao waited for a bit. A servant came to report. Heavenly Fragrance's fox demons have been secretly sent to Wang Yu Luo's rear courtyard.

Yan Hui went to the rear courtyard to look.

The fox demons were still locked in the steel cages. The cages was covered by a black cloth to prevent onlookers from seeing what was inside.

Yan Hui went to each cage and pushed aside the cloth to peer inside. Every single fox demon was in miserable condition. Their faces were filled with despair and no will to live. Perhaps in their minds, the fox demons didn't think they were being rescued. They were just goods that had been temporarily sent to another place. Perhaps they could live a few more days, but they would still die in the end. There was no escaping their fate.
