"Stop him." Xie Nanzhou tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his tone somewhat nonchalant. "If necessary, teach him a lesson."
Having served the Xie family patriarch for a very long time, Xie An naturally knew what the hardship referred to here was.
He bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
When Xie Nanzhou was the only one left in the room, he stared at the flickering candlelight and suddenly thought of Liu Yin.
She should be asleep by now.
Without hesitation, the man moved quietly and entered Liuyin's room.
Xie Nanzhou had never imagined that his years of martial arts training would ultimately be used for something as simple as sneaking into someone's boudoir at night.
When Xie Nanzhou saw that Liu Yin was still holding the warm jade he had given her, he had no more thoughts in his mind.
After all, he did all of this willingly.
The man gently removed the warm jade, replaced it with his own hand, and slowly transferred his inner energy to Liuyin.
At this moment, his gaze toward Liuyin was full of possessiveness.
Xie Nanzhou, who held a high position, was not as gentle as he appeared in front of Liu Yin; otherwise, how could he have kept those people in the clan in check?
When his father died, he left him nothing, but all he cared about was the child born to that woman. What about him and his mother?
Therefore, Xie Nanzhou did not bury him with his mother. Since he yearned for freedom in life, let him go with the wind in death.
He ascended to the position of family head through a blood-soaked path, and was indifferent to matters of the heart, but unexpectedly, he met someone he liked here.
And what a coincidence, she happens to be Liu Huizhou's junior sister.
Xie Nanzhou gently stroked Liu Yin's cheek and sighed inwardly.
Fine, for her sake and her father's sake, I'll spare Liu Huizhou's life, but he still needs to suffer a bit.
At the very least, Xie Nanzhou was very unhappy that he chose Liuyin at the edge of the cliff.
In truth, no matter who Liu Huizhou chose, it would be Ning Shuyue who would fall. After all, men can lie, but feelings cannot be faked.
I just didn't expect Liu Huizhou to choose Liu Yin. It seems that Ning Shuyue isn't that important to him.
As Xie Nanzhou left, he placed the warm jade in Liu Yin's palm, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left.
On the other side...
After Ning Shuyue was rescued by Liu Huizhou, she was grateful and was about to say something when Liu Huizhou hurriedly interrupted her.
“My junior sister has been taken away by that man. I must tell Master immediately. She is frail and must be terrified.”
"Who knows what that man will do to her!"
Ning Shuyue's smile froze as he suddenly remembered that the girl he had chosen was his junior sister.
But Liu Huizhou still risked his life to save her, and even then, his junior sister was taken away because of it.
"Yes, we should hurry up and find her."
Ning Shuyue's gaze fell on the man's wrist, where there were some wounds and traces of blood seeping out, but Liu Huizhou seemed completely unaware of them.
The man drugged her, leaving her weak and completely unable to save herself; he truly wanted her dead.
"But is that man your enemy?" Ning Shuyue asked softly, noticing the nervous look on Liu Huizhou's face.
But deep down, I knew something was different.
Upon hearing this, Liu Huizhou instinctively retorted, "I've only been in the martial world for a short time, and I haven't done anything evil, so how could I have enemies?"
"I met Xie Nanzhou at the inn not long ago. For some reason, he has been targeting me."
"And this time, they even arrested you and Junior Sister." Liu Huizhou's face was filled with anger, and her fists clenched unconsciously. She felt that the man was somewhat inexplicable.
"Let's tell your master first. The Xie family's power is beyond our reach." Ning Shuyue lowered her gaze, noticing the strength slowly rising within her body, and stood up.
"Hey, be careful." Liu Huizhou saw that Ning Shuyue was unsteady on her feet and was about to help her, but she avoided him.
He looked at his outstretched hand with some surprise, "You..." Are you blaming me?
"The most important thing now is to find your junior sister."
Ning Shuyue finally realized that she was not a stupid person, but perhaps her emotions had blinded her.
Actually, before this incident, she and Liu Huizhou had already developed feelings for each other. Liu Huizhou treated her extremely well, and on their journey together, they were just one step away from confessing their feelings.
Ning Shuyue always thought that he liked her.
But she could clearly see the hesitation on the man's face. Ning Shuyue was still comforting herself, after all, she was her junior sister who had grown up with her since childhood. If Liu Huizhou chose her, it would be right.
As expected, he chose his junior sister. So, Ning Shuyue felt nothing when she fell.
But Liu Huizhou saved her. He chose his junior sister, yet he saved her. So, who did he really want to choose?
Ye Liuyin was nothing like the delicate and innocent girl he described. Even when she first saw her, she thought her face was stunningly beautiful. If she were a man, she might have liked her too.
Just like the head of the Xie family.
An outsider's perspective is often clear: Xie Nanzhou's scheme was entirely aimed at Liu Huizhou. However, he was remarkably gentle towards Ye Liuyin.
When a man is nice to a woman, it's simply because of his feelings, just like how Liu Huizhou was nice to her back then.
Looking at Ning Shuyue's stubborn back, Liu Huizhou understood that she blamed him.
But his junior sister has always been in poor health, and this time she was also frightened, so how could he possibly ignore her?
"Never mind, let's tell Master first." Liu Huizhou silently followed behind Ning Shuyue.
