Chapter 117: The Hero Who Saves the Darkness

Su Xing was startled at first, then he realized that someone was calling him.

He quickly responded, "I'm here!"

Only after I finished shouting did I realize that the voice just now... seemed to be Ye Linghan?

As soon as the three words "Ye Linghan" popped up in his mind, that tall figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Ye Linghan held a torch in his hand, his handsome face shining brightly in the flames, like a hero who came to save the darkness.

Su Xing's heart seemed to have been turned on by someone, and it immediately began beating wildly.

There was only one thought in his mind: rush over immediately!

Not only did he do that, he even hugged her tightly.

At the same time, he shouted excitedly: "Ye Linghan, it's really you!"

Ye Linghan paused, and the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth stopped...

Su Xing did not realize the consequences of his actions. He was acting completely on instinct.

He was really scared just now, and Ye Linghan's appearance instantly rescued him from endless fear. He was reluctant to let go no matter what.

Ye Linghan quickly came back to his senses from his shock. He pushed away Su Xing, who was clinging to him like an octopus.

All the accumulated anger burst out at this moment: "Idiot! Who told you to do such a stupid thing?"

Why does this guy's brain sometimes work and sometimes doesn't?

He actually ran into the bamboo forest alone. Did he think he had lived too long?

Su Xing was so frightened awake by Ye Linghan. Only then did he realize what he had done. He immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and didn't even bother to get angry when Ye Linghan scolded him.

"Why aren't you talking?" Ye Linghan got even angrier when he didn't get a response: "Are you speechless because of my own stupidity?"

Su Xing still didn't say anything, but it wasn't because he had nothing to say, but because what happened just now made him afraid to face Ye Linghan.

The situation froze for a moment until Tianyi's voice rang out: "Regent, have you found Master Su?"

Su Xing was immediately freed from his bewildered situation. Without waiting for Ye Linghan to respond, he shouted, "Guard Tianyi, I'm here!"

Ye Linghan glared at Su Xing coldly before turning to Tian Yi and ordering him, "Take him out."

Tianyi's vision was completely blocked by Ye Linghan. He didn't know there was someone else inside. He thought he was asked to take Su Xing with him, but when he got closer he saw there was another person inside.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Su Xing was really amazing and he really found Xia Yunjie.

He picked up Xia Yunjie and said to Ye Linghan, "I will take him out first and then come to pick up Master Su."

"No need." Ye Ling refused coldly.

Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Xing carefully.

Su Xing hurriedly said, "Guard Tianyi, don't worry about me. I can go out by myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linghan looked at Su Xing with disdain.

Su Xing didn't understand what Ye Linghan meant. Didn't he believe him?

He was very unhappy, but because of what happened just now he didn't dare to refute. Anyway, he would use practical actions to tell Ye Linghan later.

But he was dumbfounded...

Why is it harder to climb up than to climb down? And it’s much harder!

Su Xing tried hard for a long time before he was two feet above the ground. Just when he wanted to go up a little bit, he fell down another half a foot...

He looked up at the distant cave entrance and his legs unconsciously went weak.

This is a slap in the face, what should I do?

Ask Ye Linghan for help?

Su Xing looked at Ye Linghan, who was far ahead of him, and swallowed subconsciously.

Never mind, he should just rely on himself.

Su Xing gritted his teeth and tried to climb up again, but he lost his balance and his body slid down rapidly.

He was so scared that he opened his mouth to shout for help, but before he could even utter the word "help", his hands were grabbed.

He looked up and his sight happened to meet Ye Linghan's bottomless eyes. Suddenly his whole body tensed up, as if he was being sucked in.

"Waste!" Ye Linghan shouted angrily, and without caring whether Su Xing was willing or not, he grabbed Su Xing's hand and climbed up with one hand.

Su Xing was startled at first, then furious, and finally shocked.

Is Ye Linghan a human?

How could he climb so fast, with one hand, and pulling him!

Su Xing stared at Ye Linghan without blinking, and actually felt that Ye Linghan's figure was getting taller and taller, and was glowing.

In a few blinks of an eye, Su Xing returned to the wooden house.

There were quite a few people in the wooden house, including Liu Yan.

As soon as he saw Su Xing, he stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Is Mr. Su okay?"

Su Xing said gratefully: "I'm fine, thank you Sir Liu for your concern."

Liu Yan wanted to say something else, but suddenly saw Ye Linghan's gloomy face and immediately shut up.

Su Xing didn't dare to say anything else. He lowered his head and secretly rubbed his wrist which was so painful from being grabbed by Ye Linghan.

After leaving the bamboo forest, they went straight back to the Regent's Palace.

Soon the doctor arrived and after a thorough examination of Xia Yunjie, he said, "Your Highness, this young master must have been greatly stimulated. In addition, he has been malnourished for a long time, so he is not conscious. After taking some tranquilizing medicine for a while and taking good care of his body, he should recover."

After the doctor left, Ye Linghan ordered Ying One and Ying Two to look after Xia Yunjie personally, and emphasized that no one except him was allowed to approach.

Shadow One and Shadow Two left as ordered, and Ye Linghan turned his attention to Su Xing.

"Speak now." Ye Linghan said coldly, "Who told you to act alone? Didn't the king tell you to go with Liu Yan?"

Su Xing knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to speak loudly: "I'm afraid that too many people will scare Xia Yunjie away, and I've been to that bamboo forest twice, so..."

He knew that he had caused trouble for Ye Linghan, so it was normal for Ye Linghan to be angry.

Ye Linghan was indeed angry, but what made him angry was not the trouble he was causing, but Su Xing’s self-righteousness.

Especially after hearing Su Xing's explanation, he was so angry that his chest felt stuffy: "So? So what!"

He wanted to knock open Su Xing's head to see if there was a brain inside.

He had been there twice, but he almost died there both times. Has he forgotten all that?

He still remembers how bad he felt when Liu Yan sent someone to tell him that Su Xing had gone to the bamboo forest alone and his whereabouts were unknown.

He couldn't describe the feeling, but it was worse than what Li Yuan said before he left.

He had only one thought at that time, to rush over and find this guy.

So when he discovered the secret compartment in the wooden house, he was the first to rush in, despite the dissuasion of Tianyi and others.

When he saw this guy, his terrible heart was relieved immediately...

Su Xing didn't dare to speak anymore. He felt that remaining silent was the best option at the moment.

He didn't dare to look at Ye Linghan, and thus missed the strange expression on Ye Linghan's face.

The room was quiet for a long while, until Tianyi suddenly walked in, bowed and said, "Regent, someone from the Princess's residence came to say that the Princess wants you to come over."
