Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 953: The Glass Brotherhood between Huo Yao and Huo Anqi

Chapter 953: Chapter 953: The Glass Brotherhood between Huo Yao and Huo Anqi

Chu Zifeng, graceful in his white attire, resembled a celestial being. His words carried convincing power.

Changyuan never doubted, his blood-red eyes curving into a smile, a proud and joyous sneer on his face, "I’ll be waiting! That day will come soon!"

As his words ended, his tall figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

He wanted to share the good news with his master.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi exchanged glances, concern and unease clearly written on their faces.

Huo Anqi clenched her small fists tightly and asked Chu Zifeng with pursed lips, "Is it true Father won’t last three years, and Mother’s memory is recovering soon?"

"How could that be possible!" the Underworld King interjected, "That was just to deceive that snake."

Huo Yao covered her chest with her small hand, her heart still pounding with fear, "That’s good, that’s good..."

Just now, learning that something was going to happen to her parents, her little heart almost stopped beating.

Huo Anqi visibly relaxed as well, the tension leaving his young face.

Chu Zifeng approached the two young masters, squatting down to meet their gaze.

He solemnly advised, "Your mother is coming back. You must not tell her about what happened today. She mustn’t be further agitated as it could affect her sealed memories."

The two children obediently nodded, "Okay!"

The Underworld King also stepped forward and affectionately rubbed their soft hair, his voice warm and loving, "We also have to deal with a volatile dragon. To avoid his disturbance, we’re withdrawing for now. If you need anything, just call us."

Huo Anqi shook her head, her delicate facial expression serious as she said, "You better not. If Mother sees you, it could trigger her memory at any time. If it happens again, Father’s life isn’t enough for what you might expend."

The Underworld King stroked his chin, a contemplative look crossing his face, "You’re right."

That was also why he seldom appeared in front of Qin Ruan.

Chu Zifeng placed a hand on his shoulder, his voice slightly heavy, "Qin Ruan is back; we should leave."

Hearing that their mother had returned, Huo Yao and Huo Anqi ran towards the door, their little feet bare.

When the two puppets left the room was of no concern to them.

The moment the door opened, what greeted them was an advanced piece of machinery, its sharp blade about to touch the custom door.

"Be careful!"

Seeing the two young masters appear, Lin Hao bellowed in panic.

The Hidden Guard operating the machinery to cut the door immediately pressed the button in his hand.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi safely walked outside the door to see Dr. Chen standing behind the crowd.

They stepped aside, allowing everyone a clear view of the scene inside the room.

Lin Hao stepped forward and embraced the two children in his arms, preventing them from interfering further.

He urgently said to Chen Hengfeng, "Dr. Chen, please go in and check on Third Master."

"What is happening?"

A clear and cold voice echoed from the staircase.

Qin Ruan had parted ways with Huo Zhi downstairs and ascended alone to see a group crowded around the bedroom door.

The air tinged with a faint smell of blood, her brows furrowed, she asked again, "What are you doing?"

All eyes turned towards her; panic flickered in the Hidden Guards’ eyes, while the servants exhibited a frightened demeanor.

Only Lin Hao seemed relieved, his tense expression easing considerably.

Dr. Chen was the quickest to react, urgently telling Qin Ruan, "Third Master threw up blood!"

By the time he finished, he had already rushed into the room.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan’s pupils shrank, and amidst everyone’s gaze, she dashed into the bedroom.

She moved so swiftly that the others only saw a blur before she disappeared.

In the room, Huo Yunjiao’s exquisite features regained color, and if not for the strong scent of blood permeating the room, he would have appeared merely asleep, with no other indications of distress.

Qin Ruan immediately noticed the bloodstains on the carpet and the bedstand.

Looking at the Third Master’s blood-drenched pajamas confirmed it further.

Dr. Chen sat by the bed, examining the Third Master’s body. His focused expression betrayed a hint of confusion.

He checked under the Third Master’s eyelids and took his pulse; everything seemed normal.

Qin Ruan activated the Heavenly Eye, focusing on the man lying on the bed as if asleep.

Purple Energy and Evil Qi were peaceful and not fighting each other—it all looked normal.

However, she still detected signs that someone had tampered with the two peaceful energies within the Third Master.

Qin Ruan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look at Huo Yao and Huo Anqi. Under her gaze, the children guiltily lowered their heads.

With this scene before her, there was little she didn’t understand.

After observing for some time, Dr. Chen finally confirmed to Qin Ruan, "Third Master’s body appears very normal, and there seems to be no problem. He is in a deep sleep now."

Qin Ruan’s expression was cold as she stated bluntly, "But he vomited blood."

Her slender fingers gently extended, her fingertips touching the Third Master’s cool lips, gently wiping clean the traces of blood from his lips.

Dr. Chen looked thoughtful but not quite certain, "Madam, if you’re not reassured, once the Third Master wakes up tomorrow, we could do a comprehensive examination. Even the most advanced medical equipment hasn’t detected any issues, so it would require Master Ling Xuzi and Madam’s extra attention."

Qin Ruan nodded politely to him, "That would be good. Thank you for your trouble today, Dr. Chen."

"You flatter me, Madam."

Doctor Chen stood up, his footsteps light as he left the room, leaving the space for the family of four.

Outside the door, Lin Hao saw Chen Hengfeng come out and hurried over with a concerned look, "How is the Third Master (San Ye) doing?"

"With Madam here, nothing will go wrong, everyone disperse."

Doctor Chen, being observant and adept at reading the room, could tell that Qin Ruan had something to say to the two children, which is why he tactfully left the room.

Learning that the Third Master was not in danger, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the room.

Qin Ruan sat by the bedside, under the watchful eyes of Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, wiped the Third Master’s face, stripped off his blood-stained pajamas, and covered him with a comfortable down quilt.

She glanced down inadvertently and noticed the string of Buddha Beads on the Third Master’s wrist.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her impression, but she felt that the beads had lost their luster, duller than when she had seen them days before.

Qin Ruan’s fingertips gently caressed each bead, and through her touch, she felt a chill.

Her hand withdrew subconsciously. She considered touching the beads again but then remembered the Third Master had said they were his lifelong companions, so she slowly retracted her hand.

Qin Ruan turned to look at Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, especially focusing on her younger son’s pale little face, and spoke in a warm voice, "Tell me, what did you do?"

Huo Anqi came forward, his little mouth pouting, and said in a wronged tone, "Father was coughing up blood, and I couldn’t restrain myself and transferred Evil Qi into him."

Qin Ruan stated calmly, "Your powers were sealed by me."

Originally, due to the children’s constitution, which could attract the contention of countless Puppets looking to devour them, she had no choice but to seal their powers.

"I.. I’m not sure what happened, seeing Father in so much pain, I didn’t have time to think of anything else..."

Huo Anqi spoke like a normal child who had done something wrong, his tone filled with unease.

Huo Yao held his brother’s hand tightly, pleading for him, "Mom, we were just too worried. Aqi got hurt trying to save Father, too."

He squeezed his brother’s hand firmly.

Huo Anqi’s eyes showed confusion but quickly he understood something.

His round face twisted in pain, and his frail little body swayed slightly under Qin Ruan’s worried gaze.

"Anqi!"

Qin Ruan could no longer focus on questioning them and stood up, rushing toward the two children.

As she approached, Huo Anqi coincidentally fainted in her arms.

Qin Ruan caught her younger son’s weak body, her heart clenched in worry at the sight of Huo Anqi’s pale little face, which broke her heart.

Huo Yao was on the verge of tears as well, urging, "Mom, my brother is weak, quickly lay him on the bed to rest."

His face showed urgent panic, demonstrating the genuine affection between brothers, truly a perfect picture of brotherly love and respect.

If it weren’t for Huo Anqi grabbing his hand and giving it a slight squeeze, one might truly believe that was the case.

Qin Ruan, with her keen eyes, noticed this scene.

Indulgence and helplessness toward her children caused her to pretend as if she saw nothing, carried Huo Anqi to the bed, and laid him down to the left of the Third Master.

Qin Ruan laid the two brothers side by side on the bed, her tone gentle and soothing, "Mom is going to wash up, you guys go to sleep first."

"Understood."

Huo Yao lay under the quilt imbued with his parents’ familiar scent, grinning ear to ear.

In his careless joy, lying beside him with closed eyes, Huo Anqi bit his lip and pinched the flesh on his brother’s arm from under the quilt.

"Ouch!" Huo Yao cried out in pain.

"What’s wrong?"

Qin Ruan, who had just taken off her jacket, turned back to look at the two children.

Huo Yao knew he had gotten carried away and, with a pained expression, he bore the pain and said, "It’s nothing, just feeling sad for Father."

He shifted his body away, fearing that Huo Anqi would pinch him again.

Qin Ruan’s sharp eyes narrowed as she noticed the movement of Huo Anqi’s hand under the quilt, and an understanding flashed in her eyes.

She tossed her clothes on the sofa and headed to the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door closed, Huo Yao sat up, his chubby little hand poking Huo Anqi’s cheek forcefully.

He said through gritted teeth, "You little stinker, are you trying to hurt me to death? You pinched so hard!"

Facing his brother’s rebuke, Huo Anqi opened his calm, dark eyes and retorted with sarcasm, "If I don’t use strength, you won’t realize how full of yourself you are."

Huo Yao raised his arm, stretched, and exclaimed, "It’s not easy to sleep here, and I’m not even allowed to get excited."

Huo Anqi’s eyes were fixed on the firmly closed bathroom door, his little face creased in concern as he guessed uncertainly, "I always feel like Mom has seen through our little ruse."

"Tsk, to see through without pointing it out just shows that Mom still really loves us."

Huo Yao didn’t care about these things. He lay back down on the bed and rolled around with the quilt that smelled of his parents.

Huo Anqi looked down at this scene, and said earnestly, "Can’t you be a little more dignified?"

Though his words were that of admonishment, the next moment, he clasped the quilt with both hands and took a deep sniff.

Indeed, it carried his mother’s scent.

Huo Anqi’s serious little face showed a look of longing and admiration.

Seeing this, Huo Yao teased with disdain, "Can’t you quit being so secretly mushy every time!"

He really couldn’t stand this brother of his, who always said no, but his body was honest!
