Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Reasonable Suspicion, Mr. Xiao Has Improper Intentions Towards My Madam

Huo Yunjiao, dressed in a black work uniform and military boots, advanced with a composed gait.

The evil spirits stirred.

As if facing some terrifying threat, they instantly retreated several meters.

Lin Hao’s heart, which he had been holding up, couldn’t help but show a look of surprise upon seeing this.

His expression was very odd, his resolute face twisted slightly.

Huo Qiang and Huo Chuan knew he could see puppets and, seeing his expression, asked him in a lowered voice, "What do you see?"

Lin Hao swallowed and replied, "The ghastly evil spirits seem to be very afraid of Third Master; they are retreating."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes fixed on the figure of their master gradually moving away.

Huo Qiang raised his hand to the men behind him, gestured to advance, and said in a deep voice, "Let’s follow."

They couldn’t just sit there waiting for death, regardless of the unseen evil spirits ahead, their master shouldn’t adventure alone.

Under Huo Yunjiao’s lead, the Huo Family Hidden Guard followed closely behind.

The exploration light shone into the surrounding dark forest, and from time to time, strange noises came from the darkness.

The voices were sharp like the cry of a child, horrifying and unnerving, causing everyone to tense up, staying vigilant and prepared for battle.

Huo Yunjiao walked with steady steps into the ravine, stepping on the deadwood, making a slight noise.

A cool breeze blew, and ahead a light flickered suddenly, a figure slowly became visible.

Followed by a low sigh, full of helplessness, "I didn’t expect you to find this place."

Upon hearing the voice of a stranger, Huo Qiang, Huo Chuan, Lin Hao, and the others immediately rushed forward, surrounding Huo Yunjiao to protect him in the center.

Their weapons were aimed directly at the position of the figure ahead.

Xia Yunchen, dressed in green clothes, had a handsome and ethereal presence like an exiled immortal, his hair cascading down his back like a waterfall.

Standing on a black boulder, his every move exuded an innate nobility that seemed to proclaim all others as mere ants.

His dark eyes looked past the Huo Family Hidden Guard to gaze at Huo Yunjiao in the center of protection.

Meeting the other’s scrutinizing gaze, Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved slightly, his expression seemingly pleased yet surprised. His deep eyes fixed on the other, his beautiful and thin lips parted slightly, "Xia Yunchen?"

He had only seen pictures of Xia Yunchen in the information gathered by his men; this was their first formal meeting.

The man seen in person was vastly different from the gentle and handsome star in the photo.

The Xia Yunchen before him was more impressive in looks and presence, as if elevated; his whole being emitted a dangerous aggressiveness.

Even though the other party stood right across from him, there seemed to be a mist shrouding him, making it difficult to discern anything deep.

Xia Yunchen nodded gently at him, "Third Master Huo."

Having confirmed the other’s identity, Huo Yunjiao’s expression returned to calm, carrying an air of transcendence.

He lifted his hand to wave off the layers of protection around him, took a few steps forward, never taking his eyes off Xia Yunchen, and spoke indifferently, "Disturbing in the dead of night, there are a few matters I don’t understand, and I’ve come to seek advice from Mr. Xia."

The low and pleasant voice was soft, yet carried the undeniable authority of one in a higher position.

Xia Yunchen could sense that the other party deliberately contained his aura, his face showing a guardedness, "What do you want to ask?"

He was skeptical whether this man had actually recovered his memories.

Given Lan An’s methods, stealing the memories of the Emperor of Fengdu was simply a fool’s dream.

Huo Yunjiao, garbed in training attire, had a somewhat sharp aura, but his handsome face remained as refined and cultured as ever.

Xia Yunchen could feel his rejection; the man did not seem to be encountering him for the first time. It was more like a long-lost nemesis, which made him even more certain that the other held secrets.

A layer of faint and distant coldness pervaded Huo Yunjiao’s gentle eyes, his expression mocking as he looked at Xia Yunchen, "Ruanruan mentioned that you have an ancient ferocious beast by your side called Changyuan, right?"

He stood close to Xia Yunchen, exuding a naturally intimidating presence, and the aura of one who masterminded behind the scenes.

The two men, equal in looks and temperament, released an invisible repulsion towards each other.

Xia Yunchen’s gaze slightly fell, looking down from above, his expression somber as he quietly replied to the Third Master, "Yes."

Huo Yunjiao chuckled lightly, his charming face outlined with a gentle demeanor in the dim light.

He continued, "During Ruanruan’s last childbirth, Lan An—the tree demon—went to shelter her. A few days ago, he appeared again at the Huo Family, spouting ambiguous words that caused my memory to flash with blurred images. He’s also one of your people, right?"

His tone was very sure, leaving no opportunity for Xia Yunchen to refute.

Without some information in hand, he would not have sought out Xia Yunchen.

Xia Yunchen knitted his brows, his voice solemn, "Yes!"

Huo Yunjiao’s lips slightly curved upwards, sketching an arc devoid of warmth, "Changyuan is an extremely vicious ancient beast, Lan An brimming with domineering toxins, and there is also one from the Nine-tailed Fox ancient divine beast lineage.

I’d like to know exactly who Mr. Xia is. How could a normal human being control such ferocious demons, and these demons always appear around my wife. May I reasonably suspect that Mr. Xia harbors ill intentions towards my wife?"

Xia Yunchen looked at the man in front of him with a familiar contour, recalling the death of his sister, whose soul scattered, he couldn’t help but become furiously embarrassed, "Who I am has nothing to do with you. A Ruan has always been my sister, why talk of impropriety?"

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were dark and inscrutable, his somber gaze scanning over Xia Yunchen’s face, still speaking in a gentle tone, "Firstly, if they didn’t disturb my wife, indeed, it has nothing to do with me. However, their actions have already affected the relationship between my wife and I.

Secondly, my wife has two brothers named Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei. As for other siblings, none bear the Xia surname."

Xia Yunchen scoffed lightly, "A relationship that can be influenced by others might very well have foundational problems to begin with. It’s not fair to blame it on another. As for the Qin Family you mentioned, they are merely lower-class humans. How could they possibly give birth to someone with a privileged bloodline like A Ruan?"

Huo Yunjiao twisted the Buddha Beads around his wrist, as another vague memory emerged in his mind, much clearer than the last.

Suddenly, a light chuckle spilled from his lips, and he nodded slightly to Xia Yunchen, "Then where does this hostility towards me come from? This is our first meeting, yet you look at me as if seeing a long-lost enemy. Could it be that in a past life, I also stole your heart?"

Huo Yunjiao’s tone was teasing, his eyes glowing red as he stared at the heart region of Xia Yunchen, his body radiating a powerful Evil Qi and a thick aura of death.

Compared to his previous gentle elegance, he now seemed like a completely different person.

Xia Yunchen took notice, his expression changing slightly, as he said angrily, "Are you playing me?!"

The oppressive force emanating in the air was unmistakably the Divine Power once wielded by the supreme Emperor of Fengdu a thousand years ago.
