679: Assault V

Assault V

"Alright." Feng Ruqing responded with a smile.1

When Feng Ruqing's eyes met Nan Xian, it was as if everyone around them had disappeared. Both Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian could only see each other in their eyes.

"Eldest… Young Master…" Jiu Ming's was still sneering. However, he seemed extremely helpless and lonely, standing in the wind.

Seeing their leader falling into such a sorry state, the people in green robes were terrified. They fell on their knees and kowtowed.

"Eldest Young Master, please spare our lives. We will never do it again. It's all because of the second elder. He has instructed us to do this as he knows that you want to give Paramount to this lady…"

Hearing this, Jiu Ming's eyes turned cold.

"Go back and check who in Paramount had leaked information about Xiao Qing'er!" Jiu Ming commanded Feng Lan who had just reached and was currently standing behind Jiu Ming.

"At your command, Young Master." Feng Lan cupped her fist respectfully.

"These people… take them back to Paramount, break their feet and bring them to my second uncle!" The corner of Jiu Ming's lips curved into a smile.

Jiu Ming emphasized the words 'Second Uncle'. His wicked tone had chilled everyone's heart. 

All they wanted was nothing but Paramount. However, they had actually laid their hands on Feng Ruqing. They had gone too far.

"Xiao Qing'er, this is all because of Paramount. I owe you an explanation." Jiu Ming turned to walk slowly toward Feng Ruqing. His eyes were full of regrets.

"I am giving you a chance." Nan Xian's put his arm around Feng Ruqing's waist as he raised his cold eyes.

Jiu Ming broke into a smile. He knew what Nan Xian meant—Nan Xian was giving Jiu Ming a chance to avenge Feng Ruqing. If Jiu Ming failed, Nan Xian would do it instead.

"Don't worry. I will straighten it out. After all… if you don't treat her well in the future, I will take her away from you. If I can't protect her now, how will I be able to do so in the future?"

Hearing this, Suyi's face darkened. She slowly walked forward and stopped Jiu Ming from looking at Feng Ruqing.

"There is no need…" Nan Xian would never let Jiu Ming do that, neither would Suyi.

Jiu Ming laughed derisively. He walked closer to Feng Ruqing before he stopped. 

"Xiao Qing'er, we are partners. Hence, I will never let anyone threaten or hurt you. Don't let anyone hurt you. No one in this world can hurt you."

"I wouldn't hurt myself. Neither would Nan Xian." Feng Ruqing held onto Nan Xian's arm as she smiled.

Although Feng Ruqing loved Nan Xian, she did not lose her senses. Moreover, Nan Xian would never fail her.

"Keep your words. Only then you can provide herbal dishes to Paramount." Jiu Ming merely laughed and said no more. He walked away and disappeared into the distance.

Jiu Ming's laughter was desolate. Feng Ruqing could feel a sense of loneliness watching his back.

"What happened to Jiu Ming? Something is wrong with him today." Slightly startled, Feng Ruqing turned her head.

Nan Xian did not say anything. He knew that Jiu Ming had fallen for Feng Ruqing. Jiu Ming had purposely emphasized their partnership as he wanted to hide his feelings toward Feng Ruqing. Perhaps, he did not want Feng Ruqing to feel bad.
