“ Xueinn, I'm here to feed you!” She approached it cautiously, gently patting its head with her left hand.
After some time together, Xueinn had finally warmed up to her and no longer threatened to kick her at the slightest provocation.
Logically, she should have liked Xueinn very much.
Unfortunately...
A glimmer of mischief flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. “Jun Shaoyan, you despicable little man. You actually used a sedative to take advantage of me and laughed at me. Just wait, I'll show you my power!” As she spoke, she pulled out some castor beans she had taken from the medicine cabinet and sprinkled them into the feed, then rolled it over to Xueinn.
Xueinn was happily munching away when Jun Shaoyan suddenly approached with a stern expression.
He wore a moon-white satin robe that made him appear even more ethereal. Strangely, he was followed by several disciples from Ling Tai Valley, all looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, which made her heart inexplicably tense.
“How strange! I'm not even from Ling Tai Valley, why am I feeling so nervous?”
Liu Ruyan muttered softly, but when Jun Shaoyan got closer, she couldn't help but ask quietly, “What happened?”
To her surprise, Jun Shaoyan simply led Xueinn away and frowned. “It's none of your business. Stay here in the stable and don’t go anywhere! Do you understand?”
Hearing his commanding tone made Liu Ruyan angry. Just as she was about to confront him, she was pulled aside by Ke Dao. “Miss Liu, you won't go wrong listening to Young Master Shao!”
As they moved to the side and watched everyone lead their horses out of the valley, he whispered, “Miss Liu, now is not the time to act spoiled with Young Master Shao!”
"Poof!"
Liu Ruyan was startled, almost biting her own tongue. "When did I ever act cute with him? I was seriously debating with him, okay?"
Ke Dao looked indulgent. "Alright, alright, let's call it a debate for now. But this isn't the time for that. I heard that the lord of Initial Clarity Manor has gone mad and is causing a ruckus in our Ling Tai Valley. They say our Young Master Shao has a grudge against him over a woman, and he's outside the bamboo forest at the Foggy Barrier, threatening to set the bamboo grove on fire!"
"That troublemaker from the Outburst Mountain Manor?" Liu Ruyan was taken aback. "You mean that Shorty Lord?"
"You know him?" Ke Dao was quite surprised.
But Liu Ruyan was thrown into a panic. That lecherous lord had actually found his way to Ling Tai Valley?
Only her parents should know she was here! How could that wretched lord have tracked her down? Could it be that her parents had fallen into his hands?
"If that filthy shorty dares to lay a finger on my parents, I'll fight him to the death!" As soon as Liu Ruyan thought of this, she felt a surge of anger and took off running.
Ke Dao realized he had spoken too hastily and quickly grabbed her. "Miss, you can't go! Young Master Shao ordered me to keep an eye on you!"
Imagining her parents being mistreated sent Liu Ruyan into a frenzy. She couldn't think straight and resorted to tears. " Brother Wu, you have parents too! If something happened to them, would you just sit there doing nothing while waiting for them to be tortured beyond recognition? My parents are the famous 'The Divine Thief and the Heroic Couple'! They would never betray their own daughter unless absolutely necessary..."
Ke Dao couldn't bear to refuse those tear-filled eyes and reluctantly agreed through gritted teeth. "Fine, fine... I'll take you there. But we need to agree on something first: you mustn't act impulsively or stick your neck out. Otherwise, you'll get me killed!"
Liu Ruyan nodded vigorously, clenching her fists and silently praying for her parents' safety. However, just as they caught up with the main group, Jun Shaoyan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, his radar-like gaze locking onto Liu Ruyan as he glared at Ke Dao with an elongated face.
"It has nothing to do with Dongnan. I came here on my own. The Shorty Lord of Release Vent Inn came after me. The wife he said was taken away was me! My mother failed to steal the ancestral gold lock of their family, and my father gave me to him to save my mother. Since this matter was caused by me, of course I should confront him!" Liu Ruyan said, and followed behind the horse's buttocks without thinking, saying with both soft and hard tactics, "Besides, this bastard must have captured my parents, otherwise, he would not know I was here! This stinky winter melon, pervert..." Liu Ruyan thought of the lustful owner of Initial Clarity Manor, Chu Shimon, who came to her house to propose marriage and wanted her to be his third concubine, and she wanted to rush out and beat that guy up immediately. "Do you hate him so much?" She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she actually felt that Jun Shaoyan's eyes flashed with a fleeting joy. "If you were to be a lover of a short and lewd old girl, would you be in a good mood?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "Well, I'll give you a chance to vent your anger!" He said, pulling the reins, and Xueinn rushed out of the bamboo forest at full speed. Liu Ruyan listened to Xueinn's cry, and something flashed through her mind, but it flashed so fast that she didn't even remember it...
