Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Master Huo’s Uncontainable Anger, Intimidating the Witch Clan

Huo Zhi, who had already left, stopped in her tracks upon hearing those words.

She turned around to look at Qin Ruan and Huo Yirong, unsure of whose instructions to follow.

Qin Ruan freed herself from Huo Yirong’s grip, gently massaging her somewhat sore wrist, and frowned, tilting her head to look at him, "If I can’t solve the problem and Ling Xuzi and the others from the Mystical Sect are also helpless, your interference will only delay the little time Josh has left."

Huo Yirong’s gaze was heavy as he sternly countered, "I can’t let you take that risk!"

He had promised his younger brother that he would protect this woman at all costs.

Qin Ruan’s eyebrows slightly lifted, and the corners of her beautiful lips curled into a faint smile, though the smile did not reach her eyes. Her lips moved as she spoke, "I won’t take my own life lightly. I’ll go in and help delay time for Josh, while you keep an eye on Huo Qiang’s surveillance and investigations to find the person behind this as quickly as possible.

Moreover, over at West City, send someone to monitor all entries and exits of the people there. I’m suspicious that this matter has a connection with West City. The Witch Clan is about to enter the capital, who knows what they might be scheming behind our backs."

Huo Yirong’s gaze remained heavy and dark with danger, his jawline tensed as he looked at Qin Ruan.

His stance was clear, still unwilling to let Qin Ruan risk herself.

Qin Ruan noted the hint of concern hidden in his eyes and softened her tone slightly, "Relax, I will not endanger my own life. I need to get close and understand Josh’s physical condition."

Huo Yirong gritted his teeth, "If our third brother were here today, he would never agree."

He was all too aware of how much his younger brother cared for Qin Ruan.

This woman was wild and crazy at heart; who knew what dangerous things she might do.

Qin Ruan chuckled softly, her voice brimming with certainty, "He wouldn’t stop me."

Her gaze moved past Huo Yirong, landing on a man who approached elegantly and composedly from the direction of the stairs, carrying an aura of nobility.

Huo Yunjiao had rushed over as soon as he heard of Josh’s incident and found Qin Ruan confronting his elder brother.

Although he did not know why they were arguing, upon meeting Qin Ruan’s bright and confident eyes, Huo Yunjiao’s thin lips slowly curled up.

He approached the pair, his profound and affectionate eyes looking towards the interior of the house. Seeing the blood-red Evil Qi swirling around the bedridden Josh, and the dark mist hidden within his body, he roughly understood the situation.

Huo Yunjiao patted Huo Yirong on the shoulder, "Elder brother, Ruanruan knows her limits, there’s no need to stop her."

His few words revealed his trust and doting affection for Qin Ruan.

Huo Yirong glanced at his younger brother beside him and then at Qin Ruan, who was smiling fox-like, and a feeling of helplessness surged within him.

It was more than just unnecessary, he had also been force-fed a mouthful of metaphorical dog food.

Qin Ruan nodded slightly to her trusting third elder brother and, under his smiling gaze, turned and walked into the room where Josh was, moving calmly and composedly.

However, the moment she turned around, the smile in Huo Yunjiao’s eyes vanished without a trace, and a chilly frost surfaced on his handsome and reserved face.

He released his hand from Huo Yirong’s shoulder, his voice deepened, "How could you be so careless, didn’t I say to be extra cautious recently?"

Huo Yirong, his expression solemn and his temper flaring under his calm exterior, wiped his face and gritted his teeth, "I’ve been careful enough. When I take Josh out, I never let him cause any trouble; I almost have someone accompany him even to the bathroom."

Knowing his usual caution, Huo Yunjiao responded concisely, "Josh will be alright, but he’ll have to suffer a bit. Go to West City and find Jiang Liu personally ensure those dishonest people are dealt with!"

Josh’s trouble must be related to the Witch Clan, so they all had to pay a price for it.

Huo Yirong understood immediately and nodded darkly, "I’ll go right away."

It was a relief to be able to vent his anger.

Qin Ruan sat beside Josh, her cold gaze sweeping up and down his body, trying to find out who had cast the Evil Qi and where the blood-scarred Puppet had been placed in his body.

She activated the Heavenly Eye, her gaze inching across Josh’s body.

Before she could locate where the Puppet was hidden, she noticed a smear of blood on Josh’s left hand, which wasn’t covered by the blanket.

Qin Ruan took Josh’s hand and saw a scar of a few millimeters on his index finger; the wound had already healed, and the blood had dried.

She rubbed the dark red bloodstain with her fingertip, using some force but failing to wipe it off.

Perhaps she had used too much force because Josh, unconscious on the bed, twitched his finger slightly.

Qin Ruan, seizing the moment, hooked his moving finger and pressed it, hoping to get a response from him again.

Unfortunately, no matter what she did or how much force she applied, Josh did not respond.

It was as if the earlier incident had been an illusion of Qin Ruan.

Footsteps sounded, approaching from afar.

Qin Ruan still held Josh’s hand, listening to the footsteps entering her ears, her delicate face somber as she raised her eyes to the person entering the room, her pupils suddenly shrinking, "Yirong, why didn’t you stop him? The room is filled with an intensely aggressive Evil Qi, your current physical condition can’t withstand it!"

Huo Yunjiao’s smile spread across his lips, a light chuckle escaping his thin lips, his voice resonant and pleasant, as deep as a cello, "You are here."

He had a dangerous look on his face, his voice steady and casual, utterly disregarding his own safety.

Qin Ruan observed him discreetly; he had obviously just woken up not long ago, his pale face tinged with an abnormal red.

This flush of color quickly faded after he entered the room, making him appear even more sickly, with an added aristocratic gentleness in his demeanor.

Huo Yunjiao walked to the bed, ignoring Qin Ruan’s angry eyes, and leaned slightly towards Josh, closely observing his pale face tinged with a deathly pallor.

He stretched out his slender fingers, grasping Josh’s chin and scrutinizing his delicate face, prettier than a woman’s yet more radiant with masculinity.

During this, his other hand casually separated Qin Ruan’s hand that was tightly clasped with Josh’s.

Qin Ruan did not take it to heart, she suddenly stood up, pulling on Huo Yunjiao’s sleeve, both anxious and angry, "Do you really want to die!"

Huo Yunjiao released Josh’s chin, turned around and loosely embraced Qin Ruan, patting her back soothingly, "Ruanruan, don’t be afraid, I will leave soon. I just came to check on Josh."

"You leave now!" Qin Ruan was not buying his act, pushing on his shoulders, forcing him out.

She had witnessed firsthand how pale the old man’s face had become, visibly turning paler by the second.

Even though Huo Yunjiao was physically weak, his strength was still greater than Qin Ruan’s. His long, strong hands pressed down on her shoulders, seating her by the bed, his voice deep and magnetic, "Ruanruan, relax."

He could feel how tense Qin Ruan was because of his presence, but he had to come, otherwise, Josh would be entirely soulless, and the Ghost Envoy of the Netherworld would come for his soul.
