Huo Junhan walked behind Shen Yaowei and took in her worried expression. “He’ll be fine.”
Hearing the man’s low and magnetic voice beside her, Shen Yaowei’s flustered heart immediately calmed down. She bit her lower lip and nodded gently.
“Yan Bei, prepare the car and go to General Shen’s place,” Huo Junhan said to Yan Bei.
After Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng returned to Village Chief Huang’s house, they didn’t fall asleep either.
To be safe, the two of them slept in the same room.
“There’s the sound of a carriage outside.” Shen Yifeng was the first to hear the sound of wheels rolling over the ground. He suddenly sat up.
Although Oriole Village was strange in every way, it was very poor. The people here didn’t seem to have any desire for money. Only Landlord Liu, Huo Junhan, and the others could afford the carriage.
Shen Liu’an, who was still worried about Shen Yuyan and Shen Yaowei, also sat up from the bed. “Let’s go and take a look.”
At this moment, it was almost dawn.
There was already plenty of light outside. When Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng came out of the house, the first people they saw were Village Chief Huang and Huang Xing’er.
Village Chief Huang was chopping firewood with an ax, while Huang Xing’er was washing vegetables by the well beside him.
The two of them looked at Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng in unison and smiled at the same time.
They were still smiling like before, but when Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng looked at Village Chief Huang and his daughter, they thought of the wax figures they had seen in the cave.
At the thought of the smiling faces on the wax men’s faces, the father and son couldn’t help but feel nauseous.
The carriage stopped outside the courtyard. The moment the man in the black, luxurious robe alighted from the carriage, he attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard.
Seeing that it was Huo Junhan, Shen Liu’an’s heart sank, and he walked over quickly with Shen Yifeng.
On the other side, Huang Xing’er also saw Huo Junhan. Her eyes lit up with an abnormally hot light. She hurriedly placed the vegetables in her hand in the basin and quickly wiped her hands on her dress. A bright smile appeared on her face as she stood up and walked towards him.
However, he stopped after taking a few steps.
His eyes were fixed on the girl, who slowly alighted from the carriage.
Shen Yaowei was wearing a light pink traditional dress with a red cloak over it, making her soft and exquisite face look like a peach blossom. She was helped out of the carriage by Huo Junhan and smiled sweetly at him.
It was as if she was the only one in Huo Junhan’s eyes. He was looking down at her intently and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear.
Anyone could sense the ambiguity in such a charming and beautiful scene.
Village Chief Huang’s expression changed when he saw Huang Xing’er’s stiff body standing there. Her hands, which were hanging by her side, began to tremble. There was a faint black energy flowing through her palm.
“Xing’er, go back to your room.” Village Chief Huang went forward and pulled Huang Xing’er into the house.
Huang Xing’er didn’t resist and let her father pull her. However, her eyes were fixed on Shen Yaowei, and the viciousness and envy in her eyes were entangled.
Shen Yaowei sensed the unfriendly gaze and subconsciously looked at Huang Xing’er.
Huang Xing’er smiled at her. That smile was like a poisonous scorpion lurking in the dark, cold and terrifying.
Shen Yaowei frowned, not understanding how she had offended that girl.
“What’s going on? Why are the two of you here so early?” Shen Liu’an walked up to Huo Junhan and asked anxiously, “Did something happen to Yuyan?”
