Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Two Contradicting Each Other, Destined to Live and Die Together

It should be noted, amongst all the information that the Huo Family investigation collected about Qin Ruan, there was no record of her involvement in anything related to metaphysics.

"Just a little bit," she replied.

Qin Ruan sat straight-backed, pinching the tips of her fingers like a well-behaved student facing a teacher.

"Why so nervous?" Huo Yunjiao extended his hand to stop her "self-inflicted pain", pale from gripping so tightly.

He played with her hand, trying to help her relax.

However, when he saw the glaring old scars on her small hands, a flash of darkness flickered in his eyes.

It didn’t take much to figure out that the wounds on her hands were likely from a fight she had in West City.

The difficulties Qin Ruan faced in West City were evident from the piles of documents on his study desk.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t relate to how a young girl managed to endure all that suffering.

Originally, he planned to interrogate Qin Ruan about when she entered the Metaphysics Sect. But seeing her scars, Huo Yunjiao felt a pang of heartache.

He lowered his gaze, staring at the various sizes of scars on her hand. In a soft voice, he asked, "Do they still hurt?"

Qin Ruan followed his gaze to the scars on her hand, a subtle acidic taste welling up in her heart.

She whispered, "They don’t hurt anymore."

It’s true they no longer hurt now, but it was real pain when she was first injured.

If it wasn’t painful, if she hadn’t struggled, how else could she have defended herself.

"Good girl, I won’t let anyone bully you again."

Huo Yunjiao released her hand, opened his arms, and pulled Qin Ruan into his embrace.

It was a warm hug, with a faint scent of mature wood.

Sanye’s sensual thin lips lightly touched her head, without any hint of lust or desire.

It’s just a simple hug, filled with compassion and comfort.

Qin Ruan smelt his strong fragrance, blushing, her ears turning an unnatural shade of red.

Thankfully, Huo Yunjiao only hugged her for a little while before letting go.

Otherwise, she feared her rapid heartbeat would’ve been noticed by him.

Huo Yunjiao gently patted Qin Ruan’s head, ignoring her flushed face, and continued the conversation.

"When did you enter the Metaphysics Sect?"

Qin Ruan didn’t want to lie to him, she shook her head lightly, "I never formally joined the Metaphysics Sect, I just happen to be able to perceive the aura around people, hence the understanding."

The Huo Family has a deep friendship with Ling Xuzi from the Spiritual Mountain Gate. Due to his own physical reasons, Huo Yunjiao also more or less understands metaphysics.

As far as he knows, the highly regarded and powerful Ling Xuzi can’t see the aura around every person either.

A person’s aura is connected to their destiny; even someone with the Yin Yang Eye who can see filthy things can’t see a person’s luck and destiny.

Huo Yunjiao’s face calmed, his expression becoming solemn.

He stared at Qin Ruan, his gaze serene yet profoundly serious.

"You could see Josh’s aura, what about me? What can you see?"

Qin Ruan licked her lips, her eyes flickering with a glimmer of gold.

The moment her Heavenly Eye activated, her demeanor underwent a groundbreaking transformation.

Huo Yunjiao couldn’t see the golden flicker in her eyes, but he could sense the overpowering aura she exuded, as if shrouded in a mist, revealing an elusive charm.

Her delicate facial features seemed to have lost some of their childishness, carrying a hint of aloofness now.

Sanye’s eyes slightly drooped, his thin lips pursed lightly.

As Qin Ruan focused on detecting Huo Yunjiao’s surrounding aura, she found no sign of any hidden darkness in his eyes.

Finished with her detection, just like before, the Purple Energy was clouded with a black haze.

Both countered each other, destined to either live or die together.

Qin Ruan’s beautiful brows slightly furrowed, her voice low, "Sanye, you’re enveloped in Purple Energy, a representation of supreme nobility. Purple Energy signifies the Emperor’s aura. However, I’m unsure if it’s due to a pre-natal or post-natal influence, there’s an impure black haze concealed within the Purple Energy, both of them intertwined."
