"He's actually a friend of Fan YanRou?" He felt even more incredulous.

Fan Yan, Ye Yanran, Chu Yiran, and other girls were different.

Although she was very low-key and almost no one had ever seen her in person, everyone in the Prefecture Country, the Prefecture Country, and even the upper echelons of the Ming Province knew of her name.

In particular, her father, Fan Yinguo, had recently had a smooth career. It was said that next year's official products were expected to rise from the fifth rank to the ranks of guerrilla generals.

Although he was only a lowly general, he had officially stepped into the ranks of generals. He was able to get rid of the embarrassment of having a commanding officer as a general.

At that time, the Fan family, including the Duke of Fan, would be the generals of two generations. At that time, the status of the Fan family would rise to a whole new level.

People like Fan YanRou, not to mention He Youlong and Luo Hua An, even Shen Long Fei and Duan Feng had to be subservient in front of her.

"Let's go." Luo Hua An was silent for a moment and then said softly.

Then he took the initiative to turn around and leave.

Since Ye Qing had a friend like Fan Yan Rou, he was not someone they could challenge. There was no need to try to be brave and compete with others.

He sighed and followed.

Xu Linqing, on the other hand, stayed behind, her eyes flickering uncertainly. No one knew what she was thinking about.

"Husband, the Misty Cloud Garden is a business owned by my third uncle. I thought it was my home, but I never expected this sort of thing to happen to me. I'm truly sorry." Fan Yan Rou said apologetically as she walked beside Ye Qing.

"No worries, it was I who wanted to thank you for helping me out earlier." Ye Qing said indifferently.

However, Ye Qing's very courteous tone caused Fan Yanrou's heart to tighten.

If Ye Qing was just an ordinary person, then Fan Yan Rou would have believed his words. However, Ye Qing was not an ordinary person. He was a grandmaster of martial arts who could pluck flowers and kill people without them even knowing.

Furthermore, after interacting with him normally, over time, one could faintly feel that under his calm gaze, there was even a kind of monarch like indifference that overlooked the common people.

How could a person whose heart was above the ninth heaven be willing to accept defeat like this?

Thinking up to here, Fan Yan Rou hurriedly said, "Although Duan Feng offended you before, he can still be considered as my playmate when I was young, an existence similar to a little brother. Can you spare him this time on account of watching me?"

"Oh?" Ye Qing stopped and looked at Fan Yan Rou with a smile that was not a smile.

Facing Ye Qing's pair of indifferent eyes, Fan Yan Rou's heart trembled. She became even more certain of her guess and couldn't help but plead.

Ye Qing reached out his hand to caress Fan Yan Rou's face, and brushed away a few strands of her loose hair. He was rather surprised that Fan Yanrou could so keenly sense his killing intent, but at the same time, he was also impressed.

Ye Yanran thought that his trump card was Fan Yanrou, but she didn't know that his own strength was his greatest trump card. Why would she need to rely on others to help him?

When he was at the Azure Cloud Mountain, for example, Elder Fan had sent his granddaughter away after he had only revealed a little of his strength.

Whereas no matter how much authority Duan Feng possessed, so what if he had background? If she wanted to kill him, she could only do it in the blink of an eye. However, Fan Yanrou's sudden appearance had caused him to temporarily lose interest.

The two of them stared straight at each other for half a minute. Although Fan Yan Rou was afraid, she still clenched her teeth and persevered.

Only then did Ye Qing put down the hand that he used to caress Fan Yan Rou's face. He said calmly, "If there's a next time, prepare for his aftermath."

With that, he turned and left, leaving behind a pale-faced Fan Yanrou.

"Yes …"

Fan Yan Rou responded with a sigh of relief, then lowered her head and followed.

At the same time, she secretly swore to herself that when she went back, she would fiercely discipline Duan Feng. Otherwise, in the future, even if she was the person beside Ye Qing, she wouldn't be able to protect him.
