Suddenly, a sad voice sounded from behind them. As they turned to look, they saw a figure dressed in pink walking in with an aggrieved expression on his fair and beautiful face.

　　He had not done anything wrong right? Why was this girl being so heartless today?

　　“Fourth Prince, the house here is too humble to welcome your grand arrival.”

　　Gu Ruoyun’s face turned cold, “In actuality, you have no say at all regarding my matters. If it was not for the fact that you are a friend of my brother, I would have already beaten and chased you out!”

　　“Xiao Yun’er, if you are going to be this heartless towards me, you should at least let me know the reason why, right?”

　　Zuo Shangchen felt really miserable, he had thought for almost half a day and he still did not know exactly what he had done wrong.

　　Gu Ruoyun sneered, “Zuo Shangchen, you come to my place and tell the people by my side to stay away from me? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs? Just because you are a friend of my brother?”

　　Zuo Shangchen opened his mouth in shock when he heard the reply and gave a helpless smile.

　　“Xiao Yun’er, you misunderstood my intentions. I’ve used these three years to investigate this man’s identity but nothing came up. I have suspicions regarding the purpose of him appearing by your side so I did this for your own good. Would I ever harm you?”

　　Zuo Shangchen was indeed considering her safety, but…

　　“Zuo Shangchen, I understand that you are worried for my safety but I trust Qianbei Ye. He will definitely not harm me at all!”

　　Even she herself could not understand the sense of trust she had in Qianbei Ye.

　　Back then she had trusted Lu Chen, however, she could not continue to trust him after he had pointed his sword at her. But now, whether it be Qianbei Ye or Zixie, she completely trusted them. Even if they were to point a sword right at her heart, she knew that they would never hurt her.

　　The trust Gu Ruoyun had for them was not like the one she had for Lu Chen, it was not built on sweet words and time, but rather it was from the bottom of her heart even if they had only known each other for three years!

　　Zuo Shangchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his almond eyes scrutinizing Qianbei Ye. He really did not know why Xiao Yun’er trusted this man so much, especially when this person’s identity and background were completely unknown and was shrouded in mystery.

　　Suddenly, Qianbei Ye directed his gaze towards him. The pair of bloodred eyes made Zuo Shangchen’s heart sink. It was as though a pair of hands were ruthlessly squeezing his heart and he suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

　　Powerful!

　　This man has an exceptionally strong aura! It was hard to explain but he was sure this was not Qianbei Ye’s full power, the real depths of his power was hidden too deep.

　　Zuo Shangchen truly did not understand why this man had appeared by Gu Ruoyun’s side, what are his motives?

　　Not only that, only those who have dirtied their hands with the blood of countless mortals could give off this bloodthirsty aura. But on the other hand, this man completely changed into a meek wife with all kinds of pitiful and cute acts when facing Gu Ruoyun. There was no trace of the fearsome man at all.

　　“Fourth Prince, I hope you don’t say those kinds of things again. Or else, even if we were friends, I wouldn’t be so nice about it!” Gu Ruoyun glanced at Zuo Shangchen and said lightly.

　　It was in her nature to be protective of those around her despite their shortcomings and Qianbei Ye was one of the people by her side. Naturally, she would not tolerate anyone that had bad things to say about him!

　　“Xiao Yun’er, you’re really biased.” Zuo Shangchen pouted and his eyes were wistful, “The way you defended him really makes me jealous! When will you be able to do the same and defend me like this.”

　　Gu Ruoyun rolled her eyes at him, “After you die, I’ll avenge you.”
