Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Mr. Jiao: This is my wife, Qin Ruan

Qin Mei appeared insouciant as he cast a meaningful glance at Master Huo, saying to Qin Ruan, "Little sis, someone is setting their sights on your man."

"..." Qin Ruan blinked, wondering if her ears were playing tricks on her.

She looked up to meet Master Huo’s calm and gracious demeanor.

The latter must have been well aware of what was going on, his handsome face betraying no expression of surprise.

With downcast eyes, Master Huo met Qin Ruan’s gaze, which held no suspicion nor anger, only calmness like still water.

Despite this, Master Huo gently placed his arm around Qin Ruan’s shoulder and softly reassured her, "Don’t overthink it, there’s nothing to it."

Qin Mei exploded, fuming, "Someone has come with a specific request for Master Huo to marry their older sister. Is that supposed to mean nothing? Dare I ask, Master Huo, what has my sister become to you?!"

Master Huo’s dark eyes swept over Qin Mei, his gaze icy and intimidating.

His gaze held an inexplicable chill, perhaps a result of his habitual high and mighty attitude. Even a casual glance carried oppression.

Detecting Master Huo’s displeasure, Qin Ruan gently squeezed his hand, urging him to ease off.

Master Huo returned the squeeze, his eyes slightly lowered, the corners lifting into a soft curve. He looked kind and harmless.

A smile lingered on his face as his rich, intoxicating voice slowly said, "Nicholas approached the Huo Family for his own gain. I am already married to Ruanruan, so I won’t let her be trapped in an awkward situation. Some things you don’t understand at your age, but you will understand as you learn more in the future."

Qin Mei wasn’t a fool, he knew he had upset Master Huo.

But his mood was still sour, his sister could have chosen anyone else, yet she chose this man.

Not to mention the numerous noble ladies of Capital City eyeing Master Huo, now even foreign powers have women targeted him, he really was a guy that attracted all sorts of trouble.

He wondered if his sister would be plotted against by these women who were lurking in the shadows, eyeing Master Huo.

Qin Mei finally realized the dangers his sister would face by marrying Master Huo.

Something he had never considered before.

Now the realization sent a shiver down his spine and he was suddenly covered in a cold sweat.

Nicholas had talked to Huo Yirong for a long while but to no avail.

As he looked up, he saw Master Huo standing with a young, beautiful girl who was obviously much younger than him.

Without thinking, he crossed over Huo Yirong and walked directly towards Master Huo.

"Master Huo, could you reconsider what we discussed earlier today? Leslie marrying into the Huo Family won’t harm you in any way. The Bolin Family will offer a business partnership to the Huo Family. If this goes through, wouldn’t your wife understand, considering she’s not narrow-minded?"

As he spoke, he made his way towards Master Huo, not even recognizing Qin Ruan standing beside Master Huo, he simply assumed she was a young member of the Huo Family.

In his mind, the woman Master Huo would marry should be a wise woman from an aristocratic family or at least a scholastic family, even if not.

Qin Ruan’s just a young girl, Nicholas wouldn’t think of her as Master Huo’s wife.

When Nicholas approached, Qin Ruan’s calm eyes suddenly flashed with seriousness.

She let go of Master Huo’s hand and stood protectively in front of him, looking warily at Nicholas.

"You stop right there!" Qin Ruan warned him sharply.

Nicholas’ face darkened. He had repeatedly been turned down today, and now was blocked by a younger junior. His feelings of resentment and frustration surged.

His face turned sullen as he glared at Qin Ruan, about to vent his anger at her when Master Huo spoke up.

Huo Yunjiao looked at Nicholas with gloomy eyes, his warning clear in his low voice, "Nicholas, this is my wife, Qin Ruan."

Nicholas was rendered speechless. He was in complete disbelief, staring at Qin Ruan. She seemed underage to him.

Was Master Huo’s taste too unique?

So young, how could he handle it?

Comparing Qin Ruan to his sister, Nicholas suspected that maybe Master Huo truly didn’t fancy Leslie.

Nicholas stared at Qin Ruan, his demeanor becoming more serious. He nodded at Qin Ruan, his attitude becoming distant and polite, "Mrs. Huo."

Qin Ruan lightly nodded, her hostility unabated. "You had better keep your distance from Master Huo. It’s too dirty."

Nicholas had just managed to regain his composure, but at Qin Ruan’s disgust, he crumbled again.

He looked down at himself, where did he appear dirty? He had purposely changed into a clean outfit before coming here, neat and tidy.

"You’re surrounded by something dirty," Qin Ruan said coldly.

Nicholas’s facial expression changed drastically. He widened his eyes, revealing his wariness, "You can see it?"

Qin Ruan looked at him scornfully, disdain filling her words, "Anyone in the Mystical Sect, as long as they’re not blind, can see it."

Nicholas, "You’re a Heavenly Master too?"

Qin Ruan spoke indifferently, "Not quite."

Nicholas took it as her being modest. He licked his lips, his eyes firmly on Qin Ruan, "Can you see what’s around me?"

Qin Ruan’s eyelashes flickered slightly, her red lips parting slightly, "Nope."

All she could see was that Nicholas was enveloped in Evil Qi, the blood stains from slaughtered lives.

In order to resolve it, she must find the source of the Evil Qi.

Qin Ruan’s gaze moved past Nicholas to the group he’d brought with him. Her eyes locked on to a tall figure standing with their head slightly bowed.

She felt a strong interest flashing across her eyes. It seemed like the Bolin Family had come prepared.

Her attitude shut down any further speech from Nicholas.

Huo Yirong approached, reciting the words Nicholas had previously said to him to Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan.

Their expressions remained unchanged upon hearing it, but they looked at Nicholas with unwelcoming eyes.

Huo Yirong patted Nicholas on the shoulder, pointing to Qin Ruan, "This is my younger sister-in-law. So don’t even think about my little brother. If you do, she won’t let you off the hook."

Nicholas furrowed his eyebrows. He was aware of Qin Ruan’s hostility towards him.

However, that did not mean he would give up seeking the Huo Family’s protection for his sister.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes softened as he looked at Qin Ruan, who stood before him. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

His dark, chilly gaze met Nicholas’s frown, "Your proposal is not under consideration. You should give up the idea. If you want to seek help from someone in the Mystical Sect, the Huo Family could provide the aid, but anything else is impossible."

After finishing his words, his gaze fell on Huo Yirong, "Brother, I am taking Ruanruan to rest. You should entertain Young Master Nicholas."

"You guys go ahead." Huo Yirong waved them off.

Having failed to arrange a marriage between Leslie and the Huo Family, Nicholas had no choice but to accept Master Huo’s suggestion of seeking help from practitioners of the Eastern mystical arts.

Huo Yirong listened to his request and then made a fist with his right hand and hit it against Nicholas’ shoulder, "Nicholas, this is the last time. For the sake of our years of friendship, I can help you find someone. But if you dare to lay your hand on my third brother again, it will be the end of our relationship."

He was serious as he said it, with no sign of joking at all.
