Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Master Huo: Throw him into the Punishment Hall

"Keep up." Huo Yunjiao said, her voice tinged with amusement. She walked slowly towards the staircase.

Qin Ruan followed, trailing behind the perfectly slender silhouette.

Thinking about spending time alone in the same room, just like that night at the Imperial Court Hotel, her heart rate suddenly quickened.

She wasn’t nervous per se, something just didn’t feel right.

And an indescribable feeling crept up from the bottom of her heart.

"Third Master—"

Just as they reached the staircase, Huo Chuan entered the hall.

Huo Yunjiao halted her steps, turned around, and watched him, waiting for him to speak.

Huo Chuan respectfully reported, "Young Master Josh is here, and he’s been fighting again."

As this information was relayed, Qin Ruan distinctively heard a scoff beside her.

She looked up to see the man next to her frowning, his face serious, thin lips curling with a cold intent.

He was generally calm with a gentle demeanor, conducting himself with the grace of a gentleman.

Now, a rare impatience was visible on his face.

"Throw him out, I don’t want to see him for now."

Huo Yunjiao’s attitude was clear; she was not welcoming towards this young man named Josh.

But as for detesting him, it wasn’t evident from her face.

Under Qin Ruan’s observation, she felt Huo Yunjiao’s expression was more of resignation, faced with something highly annoying.

"Come on, cousin! I just had a fight, my body still hurts. You not only show no concern for me, you even want me to leave. What kind of brother are you?"

A young stranger’s voice, filled with complaints and grievance, echoed.

The voice drew closer.

Huo Yunjiao exclaimed, "Get out!"

Her voice was authoritative, surrounding aura sharp.

This side of Huo Yunjiao, whether in the past or present, was new to Qin Ruan.

The young man who entered the hall had a handsome face similar to Huo Yunjiao’s.

His features were profound, his appearance distinct, revealing his mixed-race heritage.

Under Huo Yunjiao’s dark, penetrating gaze, the boy’s smile disappeared and he became nervous.

Normally his cousin was very tolerant and good-tempered, it was unlike him to be so short-fused today.

"Cousin, I messed up. I’m really sorry this time."

The boy seemed sincere, he was quick to apologize.

"’Sorry’?" Huo Yunjiao mocked in anger, "How many times have you used those words? Do you even remember?"

The young man genuinely started to count on his fingers.

Witnessing this, Qin Ruan held back a laugh.

He was quite handsome, but... was his brain underdeveloped?

Didn’t he realize Huo Yunjiao was being sarcastic?

The young man, despite his calculations, couldn’t find a certain number and declared, "Cousin, I had a genuine reason for the fight at Yejue Club tonight."

Huo Yunjiao stared at him, cold and detached, not saying a word, making him incredibly nervous.

Under his ice-cold gaze, the boy stammered, "I came across a bad guy there. That guy was bullying a princess, and it wasn’t sitting right with me. So, I stepped in to help. You didn’t see how that girl was crying in gratitude."

"Playing hero?" Huo Yunjiao finally spoke, "Quite capable, aren’t you?"

The tone was unmistakably derisive.

"No, no, both my parents always instructed me to help others in trouble. Were just doing what I was supposed to."

The boy was typically the type to take advantage of a given situation.

Huo Yunjiao took a deep breath and massaged his temples.

His face was visibly sullen, his eyes reflecting a silent but deep disappointment.

"Huo Chuan, toss this little brat into the Punishment Hall!"

"Yes, Third Master—"

As always, Huo Chuan was quick to obey his orders, and without hesitation proceeded towards the young man.

The young man immediately jumped up and started running frantically in the living room.
