Though this fellow may seem so mature at such a young age, he has never had a playmate of the same age.

　　Because of Ye Lan, he had been forced into cultivation from the moment he began to remember things. That was the cause of his personality today.

　　“I know.”

　　Qianbei Ye smiled and loosened his grip on her waist, holding her in a more comfortable manner.

　　“If it wasn’t for the fact that this little boy is not yet an adult, it wouldn’t have been as simple as me just throwing him out of the way. If this were anyone else, I would have made it such that he wouldn’t be able to get off the bed for half a month.”

　　The corners of Gu Ruoyun’s lips twitched. I didn’t think that Xiao Ye would have such a strong streak of possessiveness…

　　“Bodyguard Gu, is this fellow the husband-to-be you’ve mentioned?” Ye Nuo looked at Qianbei Ye. He had initially intended to step forward when he remembered being flung across the room and stopped in his tracks. He rubbed his nose and said, “It seems that he’s awakened after ingesting that Hell’s Lotus. Bodyguard Gu, you mustn’t forget about me just because you have him around now. If it wasn’t for me stealing the Hell’s Lotus, he would never have woken up.”

　　He had purposely mentioned this to ensure that Qianbei Ye heard it.

　　What he really meant was, I had stolen the Hell’s Lotus to save you so you cannot throw me away again.

　　Qianbei Ye’s lips curled into a smile and a light flashed across his blood-red pupils. When he gazed at the girl in his arms, the warmth in his eyes grew as if his eyes were filled with her entire being…

　　“Hell’s Lotus? The Little Master had stolen the Hell’s Lotus?”

　　Ye Yu was stunned and his eyes darted back and forth. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He turned to Ye Nuo and said, “Little Master Ye Nuo, didn’t you say that you want the Eldest Young Master to make the decision? That’s fine. Let’s go meet the Eldest Young Master! However, you better not regret it!”

　　“Regret? What’s there for me to regret?” Ye Nuo rolled his eyes and glanced wordlessly at Ye Yu.

　　“You’ve done something that you shouldn’t have. If the Eldest Young Master finds out about it, you’ll be finished too.”

　　Ye Yu was no longer as terrified as he felt a while ago. He raised his chin and spoke arrogantly.

　　“Something that I shouldn’t have done?”

　　Ye Nuo furrowed his adorable brows but simply could not figure out what he had done wrong no matter how hard he tried to remember it. He unconsciously filled his tone with a bite of impatience, “Quit talking nonsense, let’s got see my old father now!”

　　As he spoke, he pulled Nangong Yue out from the rubble and walked behind her with quick steps.

　　A murderous intent flashed across Qianbei Ye’s eyes. He smiled, “Yun’er, let’s go watch this good show. What do you think?”

　　Gu Ruoyun did not respond. She did not know why but there seems to be something different about Qianbei Ye’s awakening this time.

　　What the difference was, she could not say…

　　At the thought of that, Gu Ruoyun slowly returned to her senses and said, “Xiao Ye, let’s go.”

　　…

　　At the grand hall.

　　Ye Xingtian was seated on a chair, staring coldly at the handsome man who was kneeling on the ground. A frosty light flashed across his eyes.

　　How could he not be aware of such a huge event happening in the rear courtyard? However, these people had arrived before he could get there in time.

　　Ye Xingtian also had not expected for Ye Yu to become even gutsier. Lady Gu was the only one who can cure the Master yet he had dared to cause trouble for her! If something happens to her, there was no other person in this world who had the ability to cure him.
