76 -76 Qin Ruan: Does Your Uncle Have a Grudge Against You?

Ling Xiaoxuan knitted her brows tightly, her gaze drifting past Qin Ruan to Du Changheng, who was standing at the other end of the room.

His shocked expression as he stared at the temple door struck fear into anyone who saw him.

His eyes were darting around, showing clear signs of guilt.

Ling Xiaoxuan pulled her gaze away and spoke in as calm a tone she could, “I have no personal feelings for Du Changheng.

However, he is the fiancé chosen by my uncle.

If something happens to him, I would also be held responsible.

After all, I was one of the reasons we joined the exploration team for the supernatural.

I want to take him off Qi Mountain.”

She made no direct statement that she had to take Du Changheng away.

Qin Ruan furrowed her brows, an expression of cold disdain on her face.

The source of danger outside the gate was clear.

From the start to finish, its target has been only Du Changheng.

Qin Ruan could snatch him away, but she just didn’t want to do that.

“Let’s wait and see.”

With a nonchalant tone, Qin Ruan turned and walked towards the temple gate.

If the problem could be solved today, they would be able to return to the Four Nine City as soon as dawn arrived.

“My friend, hold on.”

Qin Ruan was stopped by someone – Qiao Nanyuan.

Her demeanor was detached.

“What’s the matter?”

“The puppet outside the gate has cultivated for hundreds of years at the very least,” Qiao Nanyuan spoke somberly.

“If you open the door now and let it in, everyone in the room might be able to resist it temporarily, but not eliminate it completely.

Moreover, there are many ordinary people here incapable of defending themselves.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

Qin Ruan’s lips curved into an elegant arc, her dark eyes sparkling with a cold and indifferent light.

Ignoring Qiao Nanyuan, she walked towards the temple door once more.

Standing in front of the now-calmed temple gate, she picked up a light-colored handkerchief hung on the door unknowingly.

Qiao Nanyuan who initially thought of her letting the puppet in closed his slightly agape mouth.

He had misunderstood her.

Clutching the handkerchief in her hand, Qin Ruan walked towards Du Changheng.

“Lord Du, are you familiar with this handkerchief?”

With Qin Ruan approaching him, Du Changheng kept retreating, his face filled with fear, his pupils suddenly contracting.

“Stay away!

You… frёeωebɳovel.com

don’t come near me!”

Qin Ruan handed the handkerchief towards him.

“Lord Du, you haven’t answered my question.”

“I don’t know, I don’t recognize it, get away from me!”

His eyes wide open, Du Changheng stared at Qin Ruan as if he wanted to rip her apart.

Despite having just met, he seemed to bear her an immense animosity.

Qin Ruan didn’t take his hostile attitude to heart.

A little grace for a man on his deathbed wouldn’t hurt.

She lightly responded with an “oh”, and let go of the handkerchief, which fell to the ground.

The clean piece of fabric fluttered before landing on the dust-covered ground.

Ling Xiaoxuan walked over to Qin Ruan, gave Du Changheng a glare, and without a word, led Qin Ruan towards the group of bodyguards and the Heavenly Master.

In her view, Du Changheng was being ungrateful.

Qin Ruan sat down on the canvas set on the clean spot cleared by Ling’s bodyguard.

She glanced at Ling Xiaoxuan who seemed to want to say something.

“Sis, how did your family come up with the idea to pair you with this man?”

This Du Changheng had a narrow forehead, his eyes bulged out, his eyebrows messy, his face thin with overly prominent cheekbones, and his pupils were surrounded by white, indicating he was no good man just by his face.

Ling Xiaoxuan bitterly laughed.

“After my uncle’s careful selection, he finally found the unfavored Du Family to get engaged with.”

“Does your uncle bear you grudges?” Qin Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly, a glint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

“Absolutely not!” Ling Xiaoxuan denied it immediately: “Without this engagement with Du Family, Ling Family would continue to use me for marriage alliances.

Though I was born in an aristocratic family, I cannot escape being used by the family as a pawn for benefits.”

Qin Ruan blinked, looking surprised.

She hadn’t expected Ling Xiaoxuan, as a daughter of an aristocratic family, to also be like a fish on the cutting board.

If so, Ling Xiaoxuan’s uncle choosing the lowly Du Family for the marriage alliance was clearly for her own good.
