Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Ruanruan’s countermeasure, Nangong Family can’t save itself

Qin Mei insisted on not going home, and Qin Ruan couldn’t force him to leave.

She compromised, allowing her second brother to stay and asked the servant to take him to the guest room to rest.

But Qin Mei was not compliant: "I’m not going to sleep, who can sleep at a time like this?"

He hugged Xueqiu in his arms, stroking its soft fur intermittently.

He then said, "Ruanruan, I heard what the woman standing next to Nangong Chang said to you earlier. Why didn’t you call Huo Junxin?"

Qin Ruan responded coldly, "We barely know each other, it’s not appropriate to bother him."

Ever since she moved into the Huo family home, the number of times she has seen Huo Junxin could be counted on one hand.

She truly felt hesitant to trouble him.

Hearing this, Lin Hao frowned, "Xiaowu, I think you should give him a call just to be safe."

Qin Ruan raised her eyes, "Why do you say so?"

Lin Hao: "If Nangong Chang really comes to your door to cause trouble and there are no people from the Huo family present, you’ll be at a disadvantage."

Qin Ruan remained calm, her eyes as serene as a still lake, "Only if the Nangong family can get through the door."

Her words were light, and her voice was cold as a blade.

Especially on the last few words, she emphasized her tone.

The strong aura hidden beneath her gentle exterior was subtly emerging.

Qin Ruan took off her shoes which she had donned to match her evening gown for the banquet. She deliberately wore low heels that night.

Although she hadn’t walked much that night, her feet were already starting to ache.

Changing into her house shoes now could not alleviate the discomfort.

She put her feet on the couch, slowly curled and then straightened her toes to soothe the discomfort.

Qin Mei widened his eyes, "Ruanruan, do you already have a plan?"

Lin Hao also looked at Qin Ruan eagerly.

Qin Ruan raised her head, met their gazes, and said with a smile, "The chance that someone from the Nangong family will show up tonight is low. You all should go to rest, there’s no need to worry."

Qin Mei shook his head: "I can’t stop worrying."

He couldn’t stay calm now, always fearing that the Nangong Family would make a move against Qin Ruan.

When they schemed to betray his older brother in the past, the methods they used were extremely treacherous.

Lin Hao also shook his head at Qin Ruan: "Let’s wait and see."

He was very worried about a surprise attack from the Nangong Family.

The Huo family’s second and third masters were not at home, and the eldest master, who was with the person in power in the Long Family, often stayed out overnight.

At this moment, the only one in charge of the Huo family was the old master.

But the old master had long since withdrawn from worldly affairs.

Over these past few years, except for intervening in major affairs, he usually preferred to nurture his vitality in his own small building.

At this time, the old master should already be resting.

Qin Ruan’s soft voice broke the silence, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, I will summon the Puppet later, don’t start crying when you see it."

"..." Qin Mei.

"..." Lin Hao.

Both of their faces twisted for a moment.

But for Qin Ruan’s safety, they did not react.

Upon hearing the word Puppet, Qin Mei’s heart leaped into his throat.

Then he quickly regained his composure, his eyes brightening, "Ruanruan, are you planning to scare the people from the Nangong family with the Puppet?"

Qin Ruan shook her head, "The Nangong family owes a debt. I plan to push them further into crisis."

Lin Hao looked contemplative before he suddenly realized, "Li Manning?"

Li Manning was the top actress in the entertainment circle, and was now resting in peace.

But she was still seeking her enemy in the outside world.

The only connection Lin Hao could think of was the entanglement between Li Manning and Nangong Chang.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

Qin Ruan shook her head again.

She rubbed her somewhat sore and uncomfortable ankle, straightening her body.

Her beautiful eyes fell on Qin Mei and Lin Hao, and she asked again, "Are you sure you’re not going back to your rooms?"

Both men shook their heads at her simultaneously, resolutely.

Qin Ruan sighed, extending her hand under their gaze, quickly forming a hand seal.

A chilling cold arose in the spacious living room.

Qin Ruan’s red lips opened lightly, her voice was majestic and grave, "Yama from the Ten Hells taught me to exorcise, bestowed upon me a divine method, to drive and kill. No god can resist, no demon dares to confront. Li Manning, where are you? Return immediately!"

The lights in the living room dimmed, the air chilled, and the cold struck everyone.

Qin Mei and Lin Hao instinctively crossed their arms.

Even Xueqiu opened his eyes, all the fur on his body standing on end.

His pair of emerald eyes stared straight at the door.

Xueqiu, as if coming across its natural enemy, was on high alert, ready to attack or defend.

Li Manning, wearing a white dress, her face exquisite, appeared at the door. Besides her pale complexion, she looked about as harmless as a normal person.

She slowly floated in from outside, her eyes cold. She set her gaze on Qin Ruan who was sitting on the sofa.

"You finally remembered me, I thought you’d forgotten me."

Li Manning started by complaining.

These days, she had been rather unsettled outside.

After finding Master Wu, she wanted to see Qin Ruan but she could not even enter the Huo Family’s gate.

The last time she came, she was brought in by Qin Ruan.

This time when she wanted to find Qin Ruan, she was hurt by the Huo family’s golden light.

Li Manning was still wearing the nightgown she had on when she died, her graceful figure was clearly visible.

Seeing Li Manning arrive, Qin Ruan put her hand down, and patted the spot next to her, "Come and sit."

This act caused Qin Mei, who was watching from the side, to break out in goosebumps.

He couldn’t see Li Manning, but he knew a puppet had appeared in the room.

The Xueqiu in his arms also warned with a cautious murmur.

"Meow——"

Hearing the cry of the Cat Demon, a red light flashed in Li Manning’s eyes.

She fixed her cold eyes on the Cat Demon standing on Qin Mei’s legs.

"Meow!"

Xueqiu let out a sharp and piercing cry at Li Manning.

Seeing this, Qin Mei stood up with Xueqiu in his arms and moved away from Qin Ruan’s position.

He feared the puppet, and feared unseen entities invading his space, causing an unidentified sense of fear.

When Qin Ruan saw her brother go over to Lin Hao, a faint smile emerged in her eyes.

They had declined to go back earlier, but now were fearful.

Qin Mei met his sister’s gaze, straightened his back, and projected an unafraid demeanor.

The smile at the corner of Qin Ruan’s lips deepened. She shifted her gaze to Li Manning.

She asked, "You’ve found Master Wu, right?"

"I found him." Li Manning floated over to sit near Qin Ruan.

Listening to Qin Ruan’s affirmative tone, she curiously asked, "How did you know?"

After all, she had not been in touch with Qin Ruan during this time.

Qin Ruan gave her a mysterious smile, "Master Wu’s whereabouts had been marked by the Netherworld. As there was no action from their end, I guessed you must’ve found him."

"Tch!" A sour expression appeared on Li Manning’s face. She felt as if her office was being monitored all the time in her previous life.

Thinking of the difficulty of entering the Huo Manor, she asked doubtingly, "What’s the matter with the Huo Family? Why can’t I get in?"

Qin Ruan looked down, her tone was indifferent, "The Huo Family has a spiritual boundary, and no malicious spirits can approach."

She discovered it later that the Huo family was too clean.

So clean that, she didn’t see even a shadow of any malicious spirits.

It wasn’t until one day, that she found out the Huo Family had an invisible boundary barrier against all malicious spirits.
