Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Uncle Qiao: I care about your safety

Huo Yirong couldn’t help but be taken aback, "Little brother noticed too?"

Third Master Huo looked up, the light in his eyes intelligent and sharp, his demeanor refined, but his noble aura couldn’t be concealed.

He stated confidently, "Nicholas intentionally let us find out, probably wanting to judge our reaction."

"That’s my guess too." Huo Yirong agreed.

He relaxed, leaning back on the couch. "Leslie has arrived, do you think the vampire ghosts came along too?"

Third Master Huo, who could not see those things, did not give an opinion.

He shook his head lightly, continuing to watch the news on the tablet in his hand.

The mild voice of Qin Ruan chimed in, answering Huo Yirong’s question: "Yes, the vampire ghost has arrived. It wants Nicholas’s life."

Huo Yirong was shocked, "Why?!".

Third Master Huo’s handsome face also turned solemn.

His gaze was fixed on Qin Ruan, his refined face full of trepidation.

If Nicholas died in the US, he wouldn’t bat an eyelid. But if someone died on the Huo Family’s territory in Capital City, it’d be troublesome.

Meeting their curious gazes, Qin Ruan shrugged her shoulders, "I’m not sure about the exact reason, but I saw the murderous aura on him. Unless he finds the source, Nicholas is sure to die."

Huo Yirong frowned, sitting up straight, his previous languidness disappeared. "Nicholas brought wizards from the Bolin Family with him this time. Can’t they notice it?"

Qin Ruan walked over to Third Master Huo, leaning on the arm of the couch where he was sitting.

She uncertainly said, "Who knows? It won’t be peaceful tonight, that vampire ghost is extremely resentful."

Third Master Huo gently rubbed his fingers, asking Qin Ruan, "Nicholas is sure to die?"

Looking at his slightly furrowed brow, Qin Ruan restrained herself from reaching out to smooth it.

She shifted her gaze, her voice calm, "To be precise, without anyone’s help, he sure will die. But I’ll also have to consider whether his death will affect the Huo Family. If it’s detrimental to the Huo Family, I won’t let him die."

Qin Ruan still had to consider whether the Huo Family would be implicated in this matter.

The relationship between the Bolin Family and the Huo Family was very dangerous; if something were to happen to Nicholas, the possibility of Huo Family being implicated was high.

Huo Yirong said solemnly, "If Nicholas dies, he should not die in Capital City. There’s only one son left in the Bolin Family. If he dies on our grounds, not only will our relationship worsen, but it might also rope in the higher-ups. The Cabinet will inevitably change, and those three families will be only too pleased if the Cabinet were in chaos."

The "three families" Huo Yirong’s referring to, Huo Yunjiao knew, were the Nangong, Su, and Xiao families.

Qin Ruan was indifferent, saying casually, "Well, then Nicholas can’t die."

Her attitude, as if discussing a mundane matter, confused Huo Yirong.

Did Qin Ruan know what kind of impact would Nicholas’s death have?

Her attitude was intriguing. To her, a person’s life and death seemed to be of no concern, like routine housework.

Third Master Huo held Qin Ruan’s hand resting on his thigh, "Ruanruan, Nicholas really can’t die."

Qin Ruan nodded her assurance, "I won’t let him."

Third Master Huo wasn’t reassured by this, he asked, "What I am concerned about is, will you be in danger?"

Qin Ruan laughed, "Don’t worry, I won’t be in danger."

Huo Yirong couldn’t help but be curious, "Are you so sure, little sister?"

He was aware Qin Ruan belongs to the Mysterious Studies World, but he had never seen her abilities and held a skeptical attitude.

"Of course. Vampire ghosts are just another type of puppets, and I am their nemesis," stated Qin Ruan, with assertiveness and dominance.

Huo Yirong fell silent, turning to look at Huo Yunjiao who sat next to her.

His little brother’s expression was calm, his attitude expressing complete faith in Qin Ruan’s ability to handle the problem, even nonchalantly watching the news on his tablet.

Huo Yirong was somewhat stifled. The old husband and young wife had made such a big decision between themselves.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Little brother, don’t you have anything to say?"

Third Master Huo glanced at him, his voice cool, tinged with confusion, "Say what?"

Huo Yirong felt defeated by his response, he felt discouraged, "In case, what if there is an accident, and Nicholas really dies on the boat? Your wife is pregnant, or she might be in danger, aren’t you worried at all?"

Third Master Huo smirked, the smile on his handsome face revealing laughter.

He glanced at Qin Ruan, who was sitting next to him, thinking to himself that the girl had a lot of secrets.

According to the records left in ancient books or even the current Mysterious Studies World, there is not a single Heavenly Master who can observe a person’s aura with the naked eye.

Yet, Qin Ruan could. When they met for the second time, she knew all the problems with his aura, her abilities surpassing even those of Ling Xuzi’s.

Qin Ruan could even call souls from the Netherworld.

Just these two abilities alone were heaven-defying, surpassing his comprehension.

If Qin Ruan said she could save Nicholas’s life, he believed she could.

He had seen the care she had for their unborn child.

She would never take risks where danger to their child was concerned.

Qin Ruan met Third Master Huo’s smiling eyes, and said, "I’m tired, I’ll rest for a bit."

"Go ahead."

Third Master Huo let go of her hand and allowed her to leave.

Qin Ruan stood up and walked towards the only bed in the room.

With the sister-in-law going to rest, it wasn’t appropriate for Huo Yirong to stay any longer.

But he didn’t get up, his determined gaze was fixed on Huo Yunjiao, hoping for some answers from him.

When all’s said and done, he didn’t believe Qin Ruan could resolve the matter.

Third Master Huo stared back at Huo Yirong, his voice mild, "Second Brother, it’s getting late. Go back and rest."

This was a straightforward order to leave, devoid of any subtlety.

Huo Yirong remained seated, if the man didn’t talk about Qin Ruan, he’d bring up Nicholas again.

"Should I call Ling Xuzi, and have someone bring him over? We can’t let anything happen to Nicholas here."

Third Master Huo scrolled on the tablet in his hand, his tone casual, "There’s no time, by the time Ling Xuzi arrives, everything will already be set."

He believed, if Qin Ruan couldn’t solve the problem, even Ling Xuzi’s arrival wouldn’t make any difference.

Huo Yirong frowned slightly, "Do you trust little sister so much?"

Third Master Huo placed the tablet on the table and smiled at him, "It isn’t about trust in her, but the fact that other than her, nobody else can take action tonight. Look at the time, do you think there’s enough?"

Huo Yirong bowed his head and checked the time, "One o’clock."

Third Master Huo said, "Ling Xuzi isn’t in Capital City. Even if you contact him now, there won’t be enough time for him to arrive or for someone to fetch him. You better go back and rest."

Huo Yirong also understood that this was indeed the case.

He noticed that although his little brother was seemingly dealing with the matter at hand, his words were consistently in support of Qin Ruan.

Determined to get to the root of it, Huo Yirong asked, "What if little sister fails to deal with the situation and something really happens to Nicholas here?"

Huo Yunjiao said coldly, "The Bolin family calculated against the Huo Family first. If Nicholas really dies here, it would be their own doing."
