▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Master Xu stared at Qin Ruan's face, looking her up and down.
His gaze was critical, carrying a repulsive and uncomfortable frivolousness.
Hou Yunjiao attractive eyebrows furrowed, his sinister eyes gleaming with a terrifying coldness, and a powerful and fierce aura emanated from him, quickly filling the large space with a chilling presence.
"Watch your eyes!" Hou Yunjiao warned in a low voice, devoid of any emotion.
Master Xu's gaze pierced through Hou Yunjiao like a knife, and a scornful smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's hand, and amidst his cold arrogance, an air of superiority emanated from him.
His gaze towards Master Xu was like that of seeing a rat in a filthy gutter, filled with disdain and contempt.
Seeing that Master Xu was about to anger Hou Yunjiao, Nangong Chang chuckled and spoke teasingly, "I didn't expect that Third Young Madam Hou is also a member of the Xuanmen. Please forgive my dull eyes for the disrespect."
He wanted to play peacemaker, but Hou Yunjiao was not buying it.
Hou Yunjiao's gaze towards Nangong Chang was indescribably cold, even a casual glance brought an overwhelming sense of awe and oppression.
Nangong Chang found something to say, "Master Xu rarely comes to the country. He's staying in the capital for a while because his eldest disciple, Master Wu, has encountered some trouble."
Hou Yunjiao ignored this remark. He gently caressed Qin Ruan's hand and said in a deep voice, "My girl is not feeling well, so I won't disturb you here."
He stood up, embracing Qin Ruan's shoulder, preparing to leave this troublesome place.
Master Xu quickly rushed in front of them and reached out towards Qin Ruan.
Hou Yunjiao expression changed dramatically, his eyes turning icy. He quickly moved the Buddhist beads on his wrist and stood in front of Master Xu.
Master Xu's outstretched hand seemed to encounter a barrier and he instinctively took two steps back.
"Hou Chuan, Hou Zhi!"
Hou Yunjiao stern voice rang out, and the hidden guards of the Hou family swarmed in.
They surrounded Nangong Chang and Master Xu, each of them revealing a murderous intent, their gazes heavy and fixed on them.
This small incident quickly caught the attention of the people around.
Hou Yirong, who received the news from outside, rushed into the restaurant at the first opportunity.
Seeing his younger brother and Qin Ruan unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but a gloomy expression covered his handsome face.
Huo Yirong stood up and approached, "Nangong Chang, there are people waiting outside to toast to your wedding. Why are you bothering my younger brother here?"
His tone carried both questioning and warning, his voice loud enough for everyone present to hear.
Nangong Chang's complexion didn't look good. He blamed Master Xu for being too impulsive in his heart and regretted not investigating Qin Ruan's identity beforehand.
Qin Ruan turned out to be a member of the Xuanmen as well, which caught him by surprise and also affected what Master Xu was going to do next.
Approaching, Hou Yirong adjusted the somber expression on his face, adopting a friendly attitude. He said, "Third Young Master Hou has finally made an appearance, and the wedding ceremony hasn't even completed yet. I must at least try to keep you here, asking if there's something unsatisfactory about the Nangong family's hospitality that has made"
This statement is beautifully said. If someone doesn't know the truth, they would think that Hou Yunjiao doesn't understand the situation and intentionally embarrasses the Nangong family.
Hou Yirong sneered, "You've said all the good things. It's already good enough that my third brother, who is in poor health, can come. So, are you planning to keep my third brother permanently in your Nangong family?"
Nangong Chang followed suit and said generously, "If the Third Young Master Hou honors us with his presence, my Nangong family will treat him as an esteemed guest and take good care of him."
Lu Han and Lu Yichen, the two brothers, arrived to join the crowd.
Upon hearing Nangong Chang's words, Lu Han burst into laughter and jokingly said, "Is that really the case? Then my Lu family will definitely take the lead. Third Young Master Hou, why not visit my humble abode and stay for a few days? I remember that Third Madam and my brother Yichen were classmates. Let's not waste such a good relationship."
"Qin Xuemei!"
Lu Yichen followed along and approached the Third Young Master Hou and Qin Ruan, greeting them familiarly.
Qin Ruan nodded slightly to him, "Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Yichen squinted his eyes and smiled brightly.
He stared at Qin Ruan's face and suddenly exclaimed, "Junior Sister, why do you look so pale?!"
Qin Ruan looked confused and touched her own face, but she didn't feel any discomfort.
The Hou Yunjiao, who held her in his arms, lowered his gaze and gazed at Qin Ruan's delicate and slightly rosy complexion. He didn't notice anything amiss.
On the contrary, he started feeling unwell himself, experiencing weakness throughout his body, slow heartbeat, and difficulty breathing.
At this moment, even his vision began to blur.
If it weren't for his strong self-control, his condition would have been noticed long ago.
Perhaps due to a momentary relaxation from the Hou Yunjiao, Qin Ruan sensed that something was wrong with him.
Their hands, held together, became slightly moist.
Qin Ruan was greatly shocked, and her heart was filled with anxiety.
Could it be that the Hou Yunjiao was being schemed against right under her nose?
Following Lu Yichen's words, she pretended to feel unwell and leaned against the Hou Yunjiao shoulder, secretly channeling her soul-strengthening power to him.
Qin Ruan's mind quickly raced, recalling the various scenes that had occurred earlier, trying to unravel the mystery and figure out when the Hou Yunjiao had been plotted against.
Hou Yirong saw Qin Ruan collapse onto his third brother's body, his brows furrowed, and he angrily shouted at Hou Chuan and Hou Zhi, "Are your eyes blind? Hurry and take the Third Young Master and Madam away!"
"Yes!"
Hou Chuan and Hou Zhi immediately stepped forward.
Hou Zhi wanted to help Qin Ruan, but she clung tightly to the Third Young Master and refused to let go, leaving Hou Zhi standing beside them, feeling anxious.
The Hou Yunjiao maintained a gentle and refined demeanor and calmly said, "No need, I'll support my wife."
With Qin Ruan in his embrace, he passed by Nangong Chang and Master Xu, leaving the dining hall.
As Qin Ruan passed by Master Xu, a cold glint swept through her eyes, and a fierce killing intent pierced through him.
She lightly parted her red lips and silently uttered a few words.
Master Xu furrowed his brows, his expression filled with confusion.
Once he understood what Qin Ruan had said, a chill ran down his spine, and a cunning expression filled his face.
Qin Ruan had only spoken six words: "Wu Daochang, I'm the one who killed."
Wu Daochang, that name was all too familiar. Wasn't he the one who had plotted to take over Rong Changting and Rong Jing, the father and son, in the past, with his wicked ways?
If it weren't for Minmin sacrificing herself to the demon, Qin Ruan wouldn't have sought out Han Xian and Han Kexin for revenge.
Master Xu and Wu Daochang were of the same lineage. Both of them deserved to die.
She still didn't know how the Hou Yunjiao had been manipulated by Master Xu, but since this man dared to lay hands on the Hou Yunjiao, she would temporarily spare his life.
The onlookers watched the figure of the Hou Yunjiao and Qin Ruan as they departed.
They only saw Qin Ruan nestled in the Hou Yunjiao embrace, but they couldn't see that she was silently supporting his body as they moved forward.
The vast dining hall fell into complete silence.
This invisible battle made the observant ones realize that the Nangong family couldn't sit still.
The Hou family had stood unyielding in the capital for many years. Who would dare to challenge them in such a manner?
Even though Nangong Chang's attitude was polite and friendly, it revealed his domineering nature.
Was the Nangong family officially confronting the Hou family?
The onlookers wore masks of smiles on their faces, but deep down, they couldn't help but sigh.
The low-profile Nangong family had finally reached their limit.
