Chapter 282 - 277: Heroine and Demoness
Ye Qiu believed the words of the Demon Sect’s Fourth Guardian, and in the end, she struck him down decisively. The forces of the Demon Sect within the Governor’s Office were also thoroughly eradicated by Ye Qiu. Just when she was about to return to Medicine Valley, Yin Shaochen and Leng Zhao Yue showed up at her doorstep.
Leng Zhaoyue appeared to have sustained a severe internal injury, barely clinging to life with the Inner Strength constantly poured into her by Yin Shaochen.
"Housekeeper Ye, I beg you, please just let us see Uncle Ye. Zhaoyue really can’t hold on much longer." Yin Shaochen pleaded with his eyes red with urgency.
"Young Master Yin." Housekeeper Ye sneered, "Don’t drag Medicine Valley into the mud you willingly wallowed in. This Lady Leng Zhaoyue is wanted across the martial arts world, do you think we would stand against the Entire Martial World for her?"
Yin Shaochen, however, did not buy this excuse. Let alone the fact that Zhaoyue was wrongfully accused, even if she were guilty, hadn’t Medicine Valley always remained apart from worldly affairs? Could it be that they still resented him for breaking off the engagement?
It must be so, why else would they refuse to help even after he offered wealth?
Yin Shaochen, acknowledging his fault, hung his head in apology: "Housekeeper Ye, I know that my disrespect in calling off the engagement was my fault, but that has nothing to do with Zhaoyue. I implore you to grant me an audience with Uncle Ye, so I might apologize to him in person."
"There’s no need for that. The martial arts world is too riddled with disputes. Medicine Valley has closed off; we are not receiving anybody." Housekeeper Ye stated emotionlessly, his gaze mocking as he looked at Yin Shaochen.
To think he had the shamelessness to bring a demoness to their Miss’s doorstep for rescue – who gave him such gall?
Looking at the pale and bloodless Leng Zhaoyue, Yin Shaochen grew frantic: "Housekeeper Ye, I beg you, please allow me to see Uncle Ye. He has a kind heart; he would not stand by and watch someone die."
Housekeeper Ye scoffed: "Young Master Yin, does your father know you’ve come to Medicine Valley with a demoness seeking help?"
Seeing Yin Shaochen’s embarrassed expression, Housekeeper Ye continued: "Young Master Yin, for the safety of this lady, I advise you to take her and leave quickly. Jiangning City hasn’t been peaceful lately, perhaps you have been spotted the moment you entered the city."
