Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Third Master’s Gentlemanly Manner and Tenderness

"Master, I want to go too."

Qiao Jiu obediently walked up to Qiao Nanyuan, imploring him with her eyes.

Qiao Nanyuan was very direct: "You haven’t completed your talisman drawing task for this week, if you finish them all before ten o’clock, I will let you go."

"Master!" Qiao Jiu shrieked.

Qiao Jiu’s tone was agitated, her cheeks slightly turning red.

She looked as if she were about to cry: "There are so many talismans, even if I didn’t rest for a day and night, I wouldn’t be able to finish drawing them!"

"So?" Qiao Nanyuan’s resolute face fell, his eyes barely open, and was barely suppressing an imposing aura around him.

"I want to go." Qiao Jiu mumbled.

Qiao Nanyuan frowned: "I said, once you have finished drawing the talismans, you can go."

Not only did Qin Ruan know of the danger of this task, Qiao Nanyuan, as someone from the Metaphysics Circle, clearly understood how extraordinary this mission was.

Malicious supernatural beings are not rare, but those who kill so brutally and efficiently without leaving any trace are few in number.

If there were any negligence at a critical moment, it would be very easy for Qiao Jiu to get hurt.

He couldn’t put his disciple in danger.

She was still too young and inexperienced.

"Xiaojiu, you shouldn’t go. Master Hui Cheng said you are offending the Tai Sui this year, it’s better to stay home."

Lun Wenbin stepped forward to speak out for his old friend.

"Fine, fine, I won’t go!" Qiao Jiu’s face immediately fell.

Qin Ruan’s eyes rested on Qiao Jiu, but she didn’t see anything bad about her.

As for offending the Tai Sui, her luck was slightly stagnant, her health impacted, and her mood dampened, but opportunities for change still existed.

For the rest of the time, the group discussed the potential issues they might encounter during the operation.

They also prepared the magic artifacts and talismans they would need to bring along.

Upon learning that Qin Ruan was pregnant, Qiao Nanyuan, Qiao Jiu, and Lun Wenbin had become more careful around her than before.

Qiao Jiu was especially caring, constantly asking Qin Ruan if she was hungry or thirsty, or if she felt unwell.

It made Qin Ruan feel uncomfortable and at a loss.

She couldn’t help but recall the gentleness and warmth of the third master of Huo Mansion.

The comforting and imperceptible care for the details of her daily life always warmed her heart when she thought about it later.

The third master never restricted her movements meticulously, and his care was always subtle, never making her feel annoyed.

Remembering his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, Qin Ruan couldn’t help but smile.

...

At ten o’clock in the evening.

Qin Ruan, Qiao Nanyuan, and Lun Wenbin arrived at Xia Yunchen’s luxurious mansion.

"Come in." Xia Yunchen opened the door, inviting the three of them inside.

He seemed to have just finished his work, his uniform had not yet been changed. The details of his suit and accessories hinted that he had just returned from an event.

"Is Brother Xu not here?" Lun Wenbin asked.

"He went home to accompany his wife and children."

Xia Yunchen’s tone was casual, indicating that he was not in the right state of mind.

He sat in the living room, his posture casual and relaxed, anyone could tell that he was exhausted.

The dim light in the living room shone on him, further highlighted his decadent and charming aura.

No wonder he’s an Movie King, his face doesn’t need to have an expression, just a look could make anyone feel attracted.

But Qin Ruan noticed something else in Xia Yunchen’s half-opened eyes.

In his exhaustion, there was a startling pessimism, as if he had lost interest in everything and was repressed and melancholic.

Such emotions should not belong to Xia Yunchen.

Qin Ruan walked up to him, scrutinizing his features and complexion with furrowed brows.

She asked in a low voice, "What’s happened to you these past couple of days?"

"Hmm?" Xia Yunchen was deep in thought when suddenly asked and didn’t immediately react.

Qin Ruan repeated her question, and upon hearing it, Xia Yunchen’s expression faltered.
