Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 37

Yesterday, the fox demons couldn't be saved. The dragon horns also couldn't be obtained. Yan Hui and Tian Yao returned with their tails in between their legs.

Yan Hui mulled over it. She felt like she had to go back one more time, but with Zhenren Su Ying keeping watch over Heavenly Fragrance, Yan Hui didn't dare casually use ghosts as a shield and stroll in again.

If they accidentally met again like yesterday, she feared there would be no lucky escape this time around.

The second day, early in the morning, Yan Hui went to find Xian Ge.

This day, Xian Ge was up early. One hand held a tea cup. The other hand held a slip of paper, which she carefully read.

When Yan Hui pushed open the door, she happened to see Xian Ge raise her tea cup to her lips. Xian Ge's lips lightly rubbed against the cup, but she didn't drink. She was focused on that piece of paper, unintentionally revealing an alluring and charming gaze.

"Xian Ge'er." Yan Hui's call finally caused Xian Ge's naturally misty eyes to move from the paper to Yan Hui. Yan Hui bounded over a few steps and sat down by Xian Ge's side. Yan Hui mischievously joked: "Hey, when men see such a beauty like you, how can they like another woman? If I were a man, there's no need to use the lust fragrance on me. Just one look from you, and I'd fall in love."

Xian Ge laughed: "You're such a sweet talker. If you were a man, you would trick all the girls in the world and eat them up." Xian Ge glanced at Yan Hui. "Your sidekick is unexpectedly not with you today."

"Sidekick? He's clearly a follower I can't get rid of. He's injured right now and resting in the room. I didn't call him to come with me."

"Injured?"

Yan Hui sighed: "Yesterday, we went to Heavenly Fragrance to investigate. In the end, we bumped into Zhenren Su Ying. Nothing was accomplished, and Tian Yao got hurt."

"Then he'll need to recover," said Xian Ge. She waved the paper in her hand. "But don't think of it as nothing was accomplished. At least, my spy was successfully planted."

Looking at the paper in Xian Ge's hand, Yan Hui was stunned.

Xian Ge continued: "The ruckus you made in the courtyard yesterday gave me this chance."

"Very good......" Yan Hui picked up on the current situation and immediately responded: "You knew from the start that Zhenren Su Ying was at Heavenly Fragrance and purposely didn't tell me, so I would make the matter worse. I would attract their attention, which let you place your spy in Heavenly Fragrance!"

Xian Ge didn't hide it, nodding her head in admittance: "With your words, it does seem upsetting. I took the initiative to conceal our scheme. Zhenren Su Ying is also a mediator between xian sects. If she found out your identity, I believe she wouldn't make things too difficult for you."

True......if Yan Hui was the only one there, it was possible Zhenren Su Ying wouldn't make things difficult. But she was with Tian Yao......

But thinking about it, Xian Ge was right.

Xian Ge didn't know about the conflict between Su Ying and Tian Yao. Furthermore, she also gave Tian Yao the amnosia sachet. Su Ying was the head of a xian sect. Su Ying wouldn't go overboard when dealing with an ordinary xian disciple. That's why according to Xian Ge's understanding, this kind of arrangement wasn't cruel.

But......

"You used me just like that." Yan Hui pouted. She was a little unhappy. "If you had a scheme, then tell me. How do you know if I wouldn't mesh in? Doing it like that, what if a hiccup happened? Did you consider that Zhenren Su Ying would see me releasing demons, think I was a xian traitor, and actually kill me? Even if Su Ying didn't kill me, what if Feng Ming discovered me and killed me?"
