Chapter 573 - 552 Second Update
Yin He heard the words and rubbed his hands together nervously, his tone casual. It was one thing to say he would firmly hold on, but given a bunch of grown men, with not a single woman in sight in Ghoul Ravine, it was hard for him to believe such words.
However, Elder Can’s words weren’t without reason, and in fact, the advice had proven to be quite useful these past days, especially when he was around Zheng Nianru.
The truth was, when he saw Zheng Nianru no longer wanting to live while in Zheng Capital, he panicked. He admitted that his mind went blank in that moment, even forgetting to stop her. An unprecedented fear paralyzed him, as if the world was crashing down around him and spinning out of control, making everything seem meaningless.
Therefore, as long as Ju Nanyi saved Zheng Nianru, no matter what the condition, he would agree to it—as long as she was alive.
Since she had agreed, the young Yin He understood that this was mostly because he had saved Zheng Congyuan’s life and agreed that she would still be the Empress of Nanzheng State. Her traditionally haughty gaze and every move seemed to demand submission from all her subjects, making the young man subconsciously feel that she must care about her status.
So, when Elder Su urgently reported a problem with the disciples of Ghoul Ravine, Yin He felt as if he was given a breath of fresh air, finally having a valid reason to leave. He didn’t have to stay uncomfortably within the Imperial Palace because he truly didn’t know how to face Zheng Nianru.
"Stop talking nonsense. As long as she is willing to come—" the young man frowned; he didn’t like Elder Can’s tone when talking about Zheng Nianru, subconsciously thinking that Nian Ru wouldn’t appreciate it, and glanced towards Elder Can.
Elder Can immediately felt a shiver run down his back, as if someone was brushing his skin with a feather. Under any other circumstances, this would have felt quite pleasing to Elder Can, but the look in the Young Master’s eyes, unclear yet more frightening than a glaring scowl, was disturbing because one couldn’t predict what the Young Master would do next.
Had he said something wrong?
Elder Can meticulously reviewed what he had said, finding no fault in his own words, yet surely something was amiss.
