Chapter 288: The Villain from a Famous Family x The Girl 13
Ye Jing carefully observed the expression on Liu Huizhou's face. Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. But his heart sank.
He knew Liu Huizhou's personality a little better. Although he was somewhat close to his daughter, it was not a romantic relationship.
Why would he say this at this time?
"What happened?" Ye Jing asked, but he was thinking a lot in his mind.
Before meeting Liu Huizhou, Ye Jing always thought that the Xie family's steward took his daughter away just to force him to come forward.
Otherwise, Ye Jing couldn't imagine why that person wanted to capture his daughter. Liu Huizhou had just entered the martial arts world, so how could he possibly offend someone from the Xie family?
But now after hearing what Liu Huizhou said, Ye Jing suddenly had some other guesses in his mind.
"Nothing." Liu Huizhou shook his head and avoided answering the question.
He thought that this matter concerned his junior sister's reputation, and he shouldn't say it out loud. Xie Nanzhou must have taken her away because he was attracted by her beauty.
But Liu Huizhou did not dare to tell Ye Jing about this. After all, it was he who failed to protect his junior sister.
Seeing Liu Huizhou's unwillingness to talk, Ye Jing guessed that there was something else going on. However, at this moment, he didn't want to think too much about it.
"At the fastest speed, it will take a few days to reach Yuncheng." Ye Jing thought of his daughter and regretted not sending someone to find her earlier.
She has always been weak, and now that this has happened, she must be quite frightened.
But if she returns safely, this incident can also teach her a lesson. Not only did she come out casually, but she also didn't bring any guards with her.
"Two more days." Liu Huizhou replied.
But when mentioning this time, Liu Huizhou couldn't help but think of Ning Shuyue. It had been two days since she left.
Although it was he who initially advised Ning Shuyue to leave here temporarily to avoid meeting his master.
But at that time, Liu Huizhou did not reveal his thoughts to her, and some misunderstandings arose between the two, so Ning Shuyue left angrily.
Ye Jing inadvertently saw Liu Huizhou's absent-minded look and said coldly, "Let's continue on our journey tomorrow."
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen this apprentice for two months. He felt that Liu Huizhou seemed to have changed a lot and looked a little unfamiliar.
Hearing this, Liu Huizhou finally came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes."
Little did he know that his actions made Ye Jing feel even more dissatisfied.
Everyone has their own differences in closeness and distance. For example, when his daughter was taken away, Liu Huizhou's attitude seemed more like guilt than concern.
But he felt guilty, and it didn't seem right. It seemed a bit unmanly for her to wait here with such a clear conscience to find Liuyin together.
Only then did Ye Jing realize that he had been wrong a few moments ago.
But there was no way. There were so many disciples in Wuchen Palace, but only Liu Huizhou caught his daughter's eye.
Noticing Ye Jing's gaze, Liu Huizhou didn't even dare to breathe, and lowered his eyelashes, pretending to be worried.
He naturally respected Ye Jing, but he was also afraid of him.
Liu Huizhou knew how much Ye Jing loved his daughter, so he did not mention in the letter that Ning Shuyue and Liu Yin were captured together, only that Xie Nanzhou took his junior sister away.
In fact, in front of Ye Jing, he didn't dare to mention Ning Shuyue at all.
Once Ye Jing knew that he had ignored Junior Sister in order to save another woman, Master would definitely expel him from Wuchen Palace.
He grew up in the Wuchen Palace and had long regarded it as his home.
