Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Huo Sanye Carries Ruanruan on a Secret Night Mission

Even though the Third Master was so gently coaxing her, Qin Ruan’s lips pressed lightly together, determined not to open.

Last year, during her pregnancy, she could initially tolerate the medicinal soups and even found them quite delicious.

But as she consumed them day after day, the mere sight of the medicinal soup now reminded her of the hardships during her pregnancy.

Huo Yunjiao leaned close to Qin Ruan’s ear, deliberately using his seductive and pleasant voice to coax her, "Ruanruan, be good and drink the soup."

Seeing that the couple’s atmosphere was getting saccharinely sweet, Ling Xiaoxuan very considerately picked up the black bag at her feet, teasingly lifted her chin at Qin Ruan, and swiftly left the space brimming with tender affection and ambiguity.

Huo Zhi saw his master wrap his arms around Madam’s waist, using every trick to persuade her to drink the soup, and he also slowly backed away to leave the place.

Huo Yunjiao pulled Qin Ruan into his arms, a hint of amusement flickering in his deep eyes, and called out to her with a feigned, whiny tone, "Ruanruan——"

The pleasant and melodious voice stretched out, filled with an unprecedented gentleness.

Qin Ruan took a deep breath, her face full of helplessness.

Eventually, she slowly opened her mouth and took the soup brought to her lips.

"Very good!"

Huo Yunjiao lowered his head to kiss her lips, capturing that tempting hint of moisture.

Once again enticed, Qin Ruan’s waist couldn’t help but go limp.

In the following moments, with the deliberate flirtation and coaxing of the Third Master, she finished the entire bowl of medicinal soup.

The setting sun sank, the brilliant glow of twilight faded away, and the moonlight high in the sky shone down on the entirety of Wenshi Mountain Peak.

The mist-enshrouded mountain, under the illumination of the moonlight, displayed a brilliant night scene; its beauty so stunning, it was like a fairyland in the mortal world.

Qin Ruan and the Third Master sat side by side on the recliner, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Below the observation deck, the occasional clamor of tourists could be heard, some from the guests at Longjun Villa and others who had come in groups to climb the mountain.

Listening to the laughter and chatter below, Qin Ruan leaned into the Third Master’s embrace, her eyes slowly closing.

As her consciousness was about to drift off to sleep, she thought about how tomorrow was the birthday of the man beside her, and she wanted to be the first to wish him a happy birthday.

The night breeze wafted over, tangling the hair by Qin Ruan’s ears.

As Huo Yunjiao lowered his head to tidy her hair, he saw Qin Ruan’s eyes tightly closed, her breathing becoming even.

A doting smile flickered in his affectionate peach-blossom eyes as he bent down to pick her up and leave.

As Huo Yunjiao carried Qin Ruan away from the observation deck, he encountered Huo Zhi and Huo Qiang, who were guarding the outside, as well as Lin Hao who was getting along famously with a waitress of Longjun Villa not far away.

When Lin Hao saw the Third Master carrying Qin Ruan out, he immediately straightened up from leaning on the table and approached with a steady, powerful stride.

Huo Yunjiao gave them a brief glance, expressionless as he carried Qin Ruan away.

The three men exchanged looks with one another.

Huo Qiang lifted his chin at Lin Hao, a questioning light flashing in his eyes.

The latter nodded, displaying a smug, confident demeanor.

Seeing this, Huo Qiang tilted his head, and the three quickly followed after their master and Madam.

They left the waitress of Longjun Villa biting her lips, her gaze lingering mournfully on Lin Hao’s retreating figure.

It wasn’t until Lin Hao’s figure disappeared that she stamped her foot, her fair and delicate face a mix of embarrassment and irritation.

Huo Yunjiao settled Qin Ruan on the ancient-looking bed in the room, covering her with the goose-down quilt prepared by the Huo Family for their travels.

He sat by the bed, gently stroking Qin Ruan’s cheek, watching her for a long time before he stood up to leave.

Huo Yunjiao closed the room door gently and went to the suite’s partition area.

Huo Zhi, Huo Qiang, and Lin Hao were standing at attention, waiting.

As soon as Huo Yunjiao appeared, the three immediately bent over to pay their respects.

"Third Master——"

Huo Yunjiao gestured with his hand for them to rise and took a seat in front of the antique wooden desk.

In a relaxed posture, he fixed his sharp gaze on the three of them and asked in a deep voice, "What have you all found out?"

Huo Qiang stepped forward, starting the report, "The owner of Longjun Villa is surnamed Pang. He is not often here, but he comes every weekend to check on things.

Half of the guests here come for Mr. Pang, eager to see the dragon he claims to have seen with his own eyes. Among these people are some doing live broadcasts for certain platforms, others are explorers from other cities, and there are also some journalists."

As he finished, Lin Hao stepped forward, "I learned from the staff here that Longjun Villa has a basement, which is forbidden and very dangerous for anyone to enter. However, according to the staff’s suspicions, every time there is a fatality on Wenshi Mountain, strange noises arise from Longjun Villa’s basement, and this matter is very mysterious."

Seated in the chair, Huo Yunjiao, with his refined and austere appearance, was imposing.

He nodded slightly to the three of them, his voice low and a bit magnetic as he asked, "Anything else?"

The three of them shook their heads one after another.

Huo Yunjiao turned to look at the night scenery of Wenshi Mountain Peak outside the window.

The scenery here was truly beautiful, or else there wouldn’t be so many tourists still flocking here even after a case of killing had occurred.

It was just a pity that all of it was an illusion.

Huo Yunjiao stood up and straightened the clothes on her body, her clear and cold voice casually instructed, "When Madam wakes up tomorrow, tell her all this information. I need to go out now. Madam just drank soothing soup and went to sleep. Guard her well, I will be back soon."

Huo Qiang asked, "Then who will accompany you?"

"No one needs to follow me. Just take good care of Madam. I’ll be back in at most an hour."

Huo Yunjiao unbuttoned the second button of her shirt, still exuding that noble and elegant temperament, yet inadvertently releasing a carefree sense of mystery.

Huo Qiang advised in a low voice, "Master, this is too dangerous."

Huo Yunjiao stated indisputably, "This is an order."

He glanced at the room where Qin Ruan was, and swiftly walked towards the door.

As his long legs crossed the threshold, he casually took the black umbrella by the door with him.

Huo Qiang and Huo Zhi exchanged a look, a solemn expression in their eyes.

When the master was doing things, Hidden Guards of the Huo Family were always by her side, this was the first time they had been dismissed.

They always felt that the third master was becoming more inscrutable. Ever since she returned from Fuluo Country, the master had become enigmatic, making it impossible for anyone to guess what she was thinking.

Lin Hao, seeing their concern, stepped forward nonchalantly, "The third master doesn’t allow us to follow, but she didn’t say we can’t patrol. Longjun Villa is so big, for Madam’s safety we have to make more preparations, all potential threats must be rooted out, right?"

Huo Qiang and Huo Zhi’s eyes lit up, then promptly recalled the clear-cut rewards and punishments of the third master, and the implements in Punishment Hall flashed through their minds.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Hao knew they feared the third master’s methods of punishment.

"Tsk, leave this matter to me."

These two feared the third master, but he did not.

Everything he did was for the safety of Qin Ruan. If the third master really wanted to do something to him, she would have to take Qin Ruan’s feelings into account, wouldn’t she?

As soon as Lin Hao said this, Huo Qiang stepped forward and warned, "There is a limit to everything. As long as the third master is safe, that’s enough. As for what the master does, we should turn a blind eye."

While Huo Qiang did not outright endorse Lin Hao’s actions, he was reminded nonetheless.

"I know, I know, it’s just a small matter!"

Lin Hao waved his hand at him and stepped out of the room.

Huo Qiang, still worried, said, "Lin Hao, all the men from the Secret Guard Department that came this time are under my direct command. Don’t cross the third master’s bottom line, or you’ll suffer on your own. If I discover you doing anything detrimental to the master, I won’t need the master to act, I will deal with you personally."

"Damn!" Lin Hao became angry upon hearing that, turned around and glared at Huo Qiang, "All I have is good intentions, and you’re thinking about taking my life!"

Huo Qiang said expressionlessly, "You are Madam’s man. The master once said we shouldn’t interfere too much in your affairs, but we have always been watching you. If any of your actions threaten the master, Hidden Guards of the Huo Family do not tolerate any speck of dust in their eyes."

Lin Hao laughed in exasperation, "You make it sound like I’m going to do something heinous to the third master. I’m just going to patrol Longjun Villa and by the way see if the third master is taking a stroll nearby to clear her mind."

Huo Qiang nodded calmly, "That would be for the best."

Lin Hao sneered and turned to leave.

However, the moment he turned, a contemptuous and smug expression appeared on his face.

In his eyes, Huo Qiang and the others were inflexible loyalists.

He was someone who always told people what they wanted to hear.

Huo Qiang watched his retreating figure and gestured to the men hidden in the shadows.

A man dressed in black came forward.

Huo Qiang instructed in a deep voice, "Follow him. Do not pay attention to the master’s movements, just keep an eye on Lin Hao."

"Yes, boss!"

The man in black moved swiftly and disappeared, his speed so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.

On the vast flat platform of Wenshi Mountain Peak,

Huo Yunjiao held the umbrella with the tip resting on rocky ground, her slender and fair hands gripping the handle, her tranquil gaze looking out at the myriad lights of the Capital City below the mountain, silently listening to the report of the man in black behind her.

Suddenly she frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Are you certain?"

"Absolutely certain."

The familiar voice was none other than Ming Tianheng.
