Shadow reached out to help her up, but at that moment, he was shocked to realize that his hands seemed to have been drained of all strength, leaving them limp and unable to exert any force. Suspicious, he subconsciously tried his best to push Fengying away from him, but this action unexpectedly made him lose his balance and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

His eyes widened, anger instantly gushing out. He glared at Fengying fiercely, then turned his angry gaze to Ru Yue beside him, gritting his teeth and demanding, "How dare you poison me?!"

Fengying was so frightened by this sudden change that he froze in his tracks, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment as he shouted, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Ru Yue said expressionlessly: "An Yi, An Er, quickly help him to the study." After that, she took Chu Ning'an's hand without hesitation and walked straight towards the study without looking back.

Seeing this, Fengying hurried to catch up with Anying, but she felt a little more at ease. After all, judging from the current situation, the girl and the young man had no intention of harming her brother. As long as they had no ill intentions, she didn't need to worry too much.

After the group arrived at the study, Ru Yue gently raised her hand to light the oil lamp on the table, and the dim light instantly illuminated the entire room. Then, everyone found a place to sit down.

Ru Yue stared at the shadow quietly, and saw that his resolute face was as angular as if it was cut by a knife or an axe. A pair of thick sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised and slanted into the temples, like two sharp swords; a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes were deep and cold, and there was an innate pride and stubbornness in his eyes; especially the tightly pursed lips, which exuded a cold and indifferent aura that made it difficult for people to approach him.

"Don't waste your energy trying to force the poison out," Ru Yue said coldly. "This is the world's most dangerous poison, 'Drunken Flower Yin.' Even if you have unparalleled martial arts skills, you will never be able to cure it without my unique antidote." She paused, then added, "Although I never kill easily, that doesn't mean I will allow others to bully me at will."

"You actually want to be the enemy of the entire 'Shadow'?" Shadow narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a strong sense of danger, as if a fatal attack could erupt at any time.

Faced with such powerful pressure, she showed no fear and said with her head held high: "So what? I have always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offend me, but if someone takes the initiative to provoke me, I will never back down!" Her words were full of heroic spirit.

Chu Ning'an knew that Shadow had truly irritated Ru Yue. However, from Ru Yue's attitude, he could also sense that despite her anger, she actually quite appreciated Shadow's efforts to protect Feng Ying.

He first gently soothed the agitated Ru Yue, then cast his gaze towards Feng Ying, who stood at the lower wind, looking somewhat helpless. Finally, he turned back to Anying and asked, "Master Anying, are you concerned about your sister selling herself as a servant, or are you simply worried about the dangers she'll encounter out there alone?"

Hearing this, Shadow gritted his teeth, suppressing the wave of weakness that came from his body, and replied in an extremely cold tone: "What's the difference between the two?"

Chu Ning'an chuckled softly upon hearing this and continued, "If your only concern is that she might be in danger outside, then we have to admit that with her now by our side, we can't guarantee her safety 100%. After all, the world is treacherous and accidents happen all the time. Even if she stays by your side, can you guarantee that your enemies won't harm her in the slightest?"

Shadow frowned slightly. He was worried that his enemies would hurt his sister if they couldn't hurt him, so he was so worried about her. But as Chu Ning'an said, who could guarantee this?

"I think you sincerely hope that Fengying can live a carefree and happy life, rather than living in a muddle like a lifeless doll, don't you? If so, why not let her go out and explore the world? The world outside is vast and boundless, full of countless unknowns and possibilities. Perhaps only in this way can Fengying live the life she wants!"

Chu Ning'an looked at An Ying with a burning gaze and spoke earnestly, but he did not wait for the other party to respond. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ru Yue beside him and asked slowly, "Where is Feng Ying's indenture?"

When Ru Yue heard this, there was no hesitation on her face. She just raised her hand slightly and used the wide sleeve pocket to quickly take out the contract document of Fengying from the space she carried with her, and handed it to Chu Ningan without hesitation.
