Chapter 122 Let this world force her to death
Yun Chen left.
Walk cleanly and neatly.
Or it could be said that he was expelled easily by the "heartless" Huo Gannian.
She didn't have time to take anything away except the personal guard uniform with the Huo Gang logo stripped off.
On the day Yun Chen was driven away, Hua Jue and Ye Yan were both sent out by Huo Gannian to do errands.
When the two of them finished their work and returned home, they found out that Yun Chen had been away for three days.
Hua Jue was furious. He knelt at the door of the study and went on a hunger strike. Then he wrote a letter of resignation to Huo Gan, saying that he was going to find Yun Chen.
Every time he made a fuss, he would be whipped three or five times according to the family rules, but Hua Jue had no intention of giving up.
Seeing Ye Yan standing silently by the side, neither trying to persuade him nor going with him to plead with Huo Gannian, and Buyan even using the "secret guard" as an excuse and not showing up all day, Hua Jue became angry with them as well.
"Okay, okay! It's true that people are forgotten when they leave! You are all great!" Hua Jue laughed in anger, pointed at Ye Yan's nose, then pointed at the closed study room, and said with gritted teeth:
"Achen has done so much for the Huo Gang, have you forgotten? Fine! If I can't stay here, I'll find another place to stay! But Gou Ge and Xiao Liu just left not long ago, do you have to stab Achen now?! Why do you want to 'expel' him from the house?! Where will he make a living?"
After he finished speaking, the only response Hua Jue received was the closed study door.
Holding back his anger, Hua Jue walked to the door, knelt heavily, and said loudly:
"Young Master, since you don't love Achen, and don't worry about where Achen will go after leaving the Huo Gang, how he will live, and whether he will be in danger! Then I resign! Or you can expel me from the house!!"
With a loud "bang", the sound of a bookshelf falling was heard in the study.
Then Huo Gannian's voice, suppressed with anger, rang out:
"roll!"
Hua Jue was stunned. Seeing that Huo Gannian finally reacted, he was about to rush into the study, but was stopped by Ye Yan, who half-dragged and half-pulled him out of Beining Hall.
After this incident, everyone in the mansion was talking about it, and the news soon spread throughout the entire Yancheng.
On this day, Princess Nanlijun hosted a banquet for all the big merchants under her command on Egret Island.
Although Hua Jue was upset, he still had to do his job as a guard, so he escorted Huo Gan Nian to the banquet.
Unlike before when they were all chatting and laughing, Hua Jue was now angry because of Yun Chen's matter, so he deliberately treated Huo Gannian coldly and refused to talk to him unless necessary.
Huo Gannian seemed to not care at all about Hua Jue's indifference. He was a man of few words, and apart from telling Hua Jue to do things, he didn't say much.
When they arrived at Egret Island, the banquet had not yet begun. Hua Jue pushed Huo Gannian around, stopping from time to time to greet other guests.
Hua Jue thought that it was because his expression was too cold and stern that distinguished guests he met would always look at him a few more times.
He rubbed his cheeks, trying to make his expression less stiff.
As Huo Gannian was being pushed into the small garden at the backyard, a distinguished guest came towards him. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Huo Gannian, he actually greeted Hua Jue:
"The famous Xuandu Guard, now that I see him, he is indeed as graceful and elegant as a fairy."
Hua Jue frowned unhappily, "My name is Hua Jue. The Xuandu guards are not here. They have been expelled from the Huo Gang by my young master. Your Excellency will not be able to see you!"
The distinguished guest was startled, looked at Huo Gannian with a look of surprise, and said awkwardly:
"I see... I'm so ignorant. I've been so busy with the errands assigned by the princess these days that I haven't heard of such a big event."
This time Hua Jue was confused. Yun Chen being expelled from the Huo Gang was a big deal for the Huo Gang, but how could it be considered a big deal for people outside the Huo Gang?
Huo Gannian said calmly to the distinguished guest:
"My guard botched his job and has been expelled."
The distinguished guest smiled meaningfully, exchanged a few more words of greeting, and then left.
Because Yun Chen was mentioned, and when Huo Gannian said "expelled", his expression was particularly nonchalant, which made Hua Jue feel a chill in his heart, and the anger that had just been suppressed for a short time came out again.
Hua Jue couldn't help but exert force with his hands, pushing the wheelchair hard onto the gravel road, deliberately making it particularly bumpy.
Huo Gannian did not stop him, nor did he say anything.
As a result, just after he walked on the gravel road for a while, perhaps because Hua Jue exerted too much strength or because the wheelchair was old, he heard a "click" and the wheel on one side of the wheelchair tilted and split, and could no longer turn.
"There is a spare chair in the carriage. I'll get it." Hua Jue said unhappily, then casually placed Huo Gannian under the nearest pavilion corridor, pushed Huo Gannian against the corridor pillar with a rude movement, and left without looking back.
Huo Gannian leaned over and almost fell down. He quickly leaned against the stone platform and sat down with great effort.
"Young Master Huo is really in such a mess!"
A laughing voice came from far away.
Yan Shijiu, fanning himself, strolled leisurely from the other side of the gravel path. He came to the damaged wheelchair, looked around twice, and shook his head, saying, "I'm not going to do that any more."
"This chair is old. Even if we don't use this gravel road, it won't last for more than a few days. Why don't I use the wood of the North Cold Glacier to make a chair for Master Huo? It will definitely be sturdy and will be enough for Master Huo to use until he reaches his final stage of enlightenment."
Huo Gannian sneered, "Don't you like pretending to be straightforward and cheerful, Master Yan? Why aren't you pretending today?"
Yan Nineteen's smile became even brighter:
"Since I've started pretending, I must keep pretending until the day I die. Master Huo, you and I both work for the princess, so please don't make things difficult for me. But you, Master Huo, are so miserable without your guards. It makes me feel a little sad to see you like this!"
Huo Gannian's face was calm, and he said in a very normal way:
"Of course I am in a mess. My legs are disabled and I need help walking, sitting or lying down. I can't compare to Master Yan who has all his limbs intact and is very agile."
Huo Gannian's monologue left Yan Shijiu speechless.
Huo Gannian said:
"By the way, Master Yan, I'd like to thank you for delivering Yun Chen's letter. Master Yan is indeed very smart. He understood my intention just by looking at the white paper. Very good, you are worthy of this great task."
These words sound like an elder praising a neighbor's child, saying, "Well done, this child is smart and teachable."
As expected, Yan Shijiu immediately became unhappy and put away his fan with a stern expression:
"If Young Master Huo had realized Yu Yangji's evil intentions earlier, why would he have let Yun Chen go only now, causing the dignified Xuandu Guard to be reduced to being 'expelled'? I think Young Master Huo has been sitting in a wheelchair for too long, not only are his legs stiff, but his ears and eyes are also not working well."
Huo Gannian raised his eyebrows and sneered, "From what Master Yan said, it seems that he is eager to be Yun Chen's - my bodyguard. Master Yan is worrying too much. Yun Chen is capable and can live well anywhere. He doesn't need anyone to protect him."
Looking at Huo Gannian's legs, Yan Shijiu spoke faster than his brain:
"No matter how capable she is, she still needs someone to protect her. It's just that you can't protect her."
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Huo Gannian's expression understand, he instantly put away all polite expressions and became as cold and gloomy as usual. Yan Shijiu knew that he had fallen into the trap of being tricked.
At this moment, Huo Gannian was almost certain:
Yun Chen...is actually a woman...
Yan Shijiu never concealed his desire for Yun Chen and didn't care what others said about him being a homosexual.
Because he knew that Yun Chen was a girl, he was so arrogant that he said, "No matter how capable Yun Chen is, he needs someone to protect him."
No one would use such a sentence to describe a man with great martial arts skills, it would only be used to describe a woman.
Men usually think that they are the strong guardians and women are the weak ones to be protected.
This idea is deeply rooted.
So even though Yun Chen is so powerful, Yan Shijiu would still say, "No matter how powerful she is, she still needs someone to protect her."
This small detail reveals:
It turns out that Yun Chen is really a woman.
In this way, all the suspicions that Huo Gannian had long had in his heart were explained.
A huge stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Huo Gannian felt a surge of numbness all over his body, followed by a feeling of openness and clarity, and the bitterness and pain also surged into his heart doubly.
Yan Shijiu knew he had been tricked, but he could not get angry, so he deliberately provoked:
"Since Young Master Huo knows about this, why not announce it to the world so that Yu Yangji won't target her anymore? How about that?"
Yan Shijiu was instigating Huo Gannian to expose the secret that Yun Chen was disguised as a man. Yu Yangji was a fanatical lover of men, so naturally he would no longer stare at Yun Chen.
Huo Gannian sneered and asked:
"Do you want this world to force her to death?"
After these words were spoken, Yan Shijiu finally lost his composure, his face darkened completely, and he strode away without looking back.
