Huai En shouted sternly, “Come out!” Somehow, he had already grabbed his sword, and with a flick of his long sword, he tossed the clothes on the ground onto Xiao Bao.ewdZSuWtIIJjBjGLLcHTxjecmLCVjq

Xiao Bao, in a flurry, struggled to put on his clothes while nervously hiding behind Huai En. Oh dear, whoever is showing up now, curse you and your descendants to doom!uLGtZLCYtdohKluRvfOQNPflYoKKoY

A black shadow suddenly flashed before their eyes. Xiao Bao didn’t even see where the person came from, and that person was already just a few zhang¹ away from them.nqUrVMJmxrGrqvqIYxRcpQZkLiLYZp

The newcomer was a young boy, seemingly even younger than Huai En, with an extraordinarily handsome face. His brows were full of arrogance, his eyes looking at people as if they were invisible, exuding an air of haughtiness.xZrSwiuXzriAoKBWNcpOkGjmFVCxqr

The moment Xiao Bao saw him, he felt extreme aversion, not just because he interrupted their sweet moment, not just because his face screamed “heroic young man” which made Xiao Bao envious, but because the way he looked at Huai En made him extremely uncomfortable.EjVMveouwKejkfpNFQeocNFLlbWamX

Xiao Bao quickly picked up the clothes at his feet and draped them over Huai En. He cursed at the newcomer, “What the hell are you looking at? Don’t you have one yourself? Looking at others won’t make yours grow!”OmfQPMsIfRcnmERWgMFExCyqyKEXqO

The young boy’s cheeks puffed up, and he finally looked directly at Xiao Bao, squeezing out two words through his teeth, “How dare you.”usJioMKkbjgeKusfJrLXLSSbQsSiQN

Feeling completely secure by Huai En’s side, Xiao Bao didn’t take the boy seriously at all. He attentively helped Huai En put on his clothes, then wrapped his arm around Huai En’s waist to tie his belt, and provocatively lifted his chin at the boy.APKAqzKjZshpsxHFeGVDQzHRCflyPC

The boy’s face turned gloomy, glaring at Huai En, “What were you two doing in there?” He wasn’t stupid; seeing the red marks on their chests and their intimate demeanor, it was hard not to think otherwise.RQPbNkHbAQMrgCpjxyCiYNztgrdEci

“No matter what you’re here for, just by yourself?” Huai En sneered dismissively, though his heart was already unsettled. He hadn’t expected Zong Zheng Lihan to act so quickly; they hadn’t even reached Feng Chuan yet, and they sent him? This person was much more important than that item. What exactly were they plotting, and how did he find this place, known only to him and his two shadows?cGjgIKxakdRNOnUaEVvUzUXqpiYuvB

“Hmph, of course, it’s not just me.” The young boy clapped his hands, and a group of men in black, masked, sprang from the cave entrance.mfGoXtuSfqyzZxJmjfEpmDKUVyJRuq

“This time, I volunteered to come. I wanted to meet you. So the son of that person is just like this, fooling around with a man in a cave, and with someone of such poor quality.” He glanced at Xiao Bao, his face full of disdain.lDqNVApBywFBbbKLPRPxgrqjaMFtMx

Xiao Bao was furious. He pointed at the boy’s nose and cursed, “You snot-nosed brat, why don’t you go home and drink your mother’s milk? What are you doing in the deep mountains? Look at your crooked eyes, you must be from a family of weasels. What kind of quality are you? I am the eldest young master of the richest family in Jiangnan, the Jin family.”bDuiuKeJCWMEcJhviDMheGqUWAqlaG

Xiao Bao exaggeratedly spat at him. He had initially been nervous seeing so many people, but seeing Huai En’s calm demeanor reassured him. He figured Huai En must have a plan, so he felt much more at ease. At this moment, he definitely couldn’t show fear, or they would look down on him.XeuvfiQtqFTdTqUSjXEUkmtERIyBAo

“Young master, don’t let him provoke you. We have important business to attend to. Once we capture this little scoundrel, there will be plenty of ways to deal with him.” A man in black stepped forward and cupped his hands.RvbRiyNpMxaaFdkKfmFlJMzbwHQQBp

Xiao Bao steadied himself and looked back. Huai En was already entangled in a fight with the group. He was only wearing an outer robe, loosely belted at the waist, leaving most of his chest and legs exposed as he moved. The attackers were clearly highly skilled. Seeing the pale figure of Huai En being engulfed by a sea of black, Xiao Bao trembled with anxiety, his hands and feet shaking uncontrollably.ABaCZPjXwiqOHsAFSrIrbKqlXJyEfp
