The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story - Chapter 180
180 Demonstration
“It’s so lively at night,” Chu Yi said with a smile as he slowly walked in the direction of the pavilion.
His handsome face reflected a warm orange firelight and a smile like the spring breeze—warm and bright.
It was as if the blizzard had softened with his arrival. The wind became soothing, and the snow lightened.
Juan Bi was relieved.
!!
In the pavilion, Gu Yanfei turned to look in Chu Yi’s direction.
The moment their eyes met, Chu Yi smiled. The smile could not help but overflow from his eyes, making his face even gentler.
Si Hai followed beside him like a shadow, holding a tung oil umbrella. Gu Yuan also rushed to the manor with Chu Yi.
Gu Yuan walked behind Chu Yi. He quietly carried the long saber at his waist with one hand and walked with his head held high, looking sharp.
He looked warily around at the dark figures lurking in the darkness and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his sister was safe and sound. Fortunately…
Gu Yuan was on duty now and could not say anything casually. He could only blink at her quickly, meaning, “Are you alright?”
Gu Yanfei nodded calmly.
The snow suddenly lessened, and a breeze blew. It had only been a while, but there were only a few scattered snowflakes in the night sky.
Soon, Chu Yi was less than ten feet away from the pavilion. His gaze slowly moved from Gu Yanfei’s face to the beautiful young man in red across the table.
He smiled and relaxed his brows. His gaze was fixed on the young man’s devastatingly beautiful face as he pointed out the other party’s identity.
“Lord Xia Hou, long time no see.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were in the capital? I can entertain you and catch up.”
His gentle tone was neither fast nor slow.
Of course, Gu Yuan heard it too. He was stunned at first, but then he realized who this name represented.
The young man in red sitting with his sister was actually Xia Houqing of the State of Yue.
The rumored exalt of the Heavenly Hall who controlled half of the state affairs of the State of Yue and held half of the military power, was a figure that even the Crown Prince of the State of Yue had to be humbled by. He was enough to turn the tables in the State of Yue!
It was rumored that Xia Houqing was ruthless and decisive. He had once helped the State of Yue take down the southwestern Qiang Clan in one fell swoop, allowing the State of Yue to expand by 30%. He had also imitated the previous dynasty in killing 10 clans, shocking the entire country. The literati and scholars raised their brushes and reprimanded him, but Xia Houqing still did as he pleased.
Xia Houqing was a lunatic. It was said that an imperial censor in the State of Yue dynasty had only impeached him for being “evil” and was killed on the spot. Blood splattered in the Heavenly Hall, and no one in the dynasty dared to speak.
The list of such incidents was endless.
Gu Yuan’s expression instantly changed uncontrollably. His heart tightened slightly, and he could not help but feel a lingering fear. He thought to himself thankfully again, ‘Fortunately, I didn’t come too late.’
No one could survive Xia Houqing’s hands if he wanted to kill anyone. The number of lives he had taken probably exceeded the total population of the capital.
Gu Yuan stared intently at Xia Houqing in the pavilion.
“So it’s Young Master Yi.” Xia Houqing smiled familiarly. His red lips curled up as if he had just recognized Chu Yi, and he said lazily, “There’s no need to entertain me. I’ve never liked such formalities.”
A dangerous glint flickered in his dark eyes. He was judging the situation, speculating, thinking, and a little wary.
Many guesses flashed through his mind.
Chu Yi smiled slightly and strolled past the withered old man. His footsteps were elegant and stable without any change.
The silver-haired old man tensed, and a sharp killing intent flashed across his eyes. However, seeing that his master did not speak, he did not move and took root there like a withered tree.
Chu Yi walked into the pavilion alone. Without being invited, he sat down casually between Gu Yanfei and Xia Houqing.
Almost at the same time, Xia Houqing instructed the old man, “Old Qi, tell them to leave.”
What?! The old man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he instinctively looked at Xia Houqing.
Xia Houqing casually stroked his sleeve.
The grand Eldest Prince of the State of Jin even dared to come to the pavilion alone. What did he have to fear?!
Besides, if Chu Yi wanted to attack him, he would not have brought just these shrimp soldiers and crab generals to this farm.
The old man did not dare to question Xia Houqing’s decision. He placed his fingers on his lips and immediately whistled sharply.
