C90 – Jealous? So Fun!
“So, are you implying that someone has already taken action?”
Ann Yichen, while stirring his coffee, addressed Wu Tie seated across from him with a grave expression.
“Indeed, Brother Ximen also wishes for your assistance in monitoring any suspicious activities or individuals,” Wu Tie responded. “Currently, the Sect Leader is not present in Hua Xia, and we’re uncertain about future developments. Young Lord An, please consider this carefully, as you have a close connection with us, much like Mr. Mu.”
It appeared that the transfer of Han Shaolin to H City had become common knowledge, leading to the attack on his bar and injuries to his men.
The individual’s motive likely involved taking advantage of Han Shaolin’s absence from China to seize control of its territory.
That being said, it would be unwise for us to venture too far from Xi Men Xie Jia and the others, making us vulnerable targets.
“Naturally, you have the option to decline helping us monitor our adversaries,” Xie Jia acknowledged Ann Yichen’s predicament. “Considering the current circumstances, it may not be advantageous to be closely associated with us.”
Recognizing Ann Yichen’s delicate position, Xie Jia refrained from pressuring him into assisting.
Ann Yichen smiled and replied, “My father will likely remain uninvolved in this matter. If he has no objections, I can instruct my people to keep watch.”
“What’s the matter? Can’t teachers have friends of their own?” Ann Yichen responded with a smile. Then, noticing that Loong Xiaoyi was still in his school uniform, he furrowed his brow. “Don’t tell me you’ve just finished your classes?”
“I’m simply asking you to mind your own business.” It was evident this wasn’t an ordinary encounter.
Worried that the two might escalate into a brawl over him, Xie Jia quickly clarified, “He’s just an unrelated acquaintance, don’t...”
However, before he could finish explaining, Loong Xiaoyi had already grabbed Ann Yichen and exited, leaving Xie Jia behind.
He was starting to question the nature of existence once more. Had Young Master An also crossed over to the other side?
“Loong Xiaoyi, could you please be a little more polite?”
Meanwhile, Ann Yichen remained unruffled. He was merely giving a lecture. Nevertheless, it was worth noting that Loong Xiaoyi had dashed out in a fit of jealousy, adding an intriguing twist to the situation.
This young man was genuinely endearing! The corners of Ann Yichen’s mouth curled upwards.
“Quiet down. I was just saying I’m not in the best mood.”
Ann Yichen chuckled heartily. “Alright, alright. I’ll keep quiet.” He allowed Loong Xiaoyi to lead him away.
