After he finished speaking, Leng Yanxiu's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes flashed as if he could see through everything. The cinnabar mole at the end of his eye added a bit of evil charm to his smile.

"Bring her in."

Leng Yanxiu said indifferently, and his subordinate leaned over and left the room. The smile from his master just now made him shudder in his heart.

A moment later, Qu Jingyao followed Bai Guo into the study, but she had just stopped and didn't expect that the man opposite would suddenly attack Bai Guo.

"Um...Pfft! Master, I know I'm wrong."

Baiguo steadied herself, covered her chest, and quickly knelt on one knee. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth to the ground. She lowered her eyes and dared not say another word.

When Qu Jingyao heard this, she quickly tried to grab the handkerchief from her eyes, but Leng Yanxiu was a few seconds faster than her. He grabbed her hands and clasped them behind her back, then put his arm around her waist and turned her around in place, pushing her against the table.

He said to Bai Guoyou on the ground in a cold voice: "Get out and accept your punishment."

Qu Jingyao got anxious when she heard this, and she struggled to stop him: "You damn man, since you gave her to me, she is mine. It is my business to beat her or punish her. You don't need to do anything."

After she finished speaking, Leng Yanxiu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Little thing, do you mean to accept her? If so, then spare her life for now, and get out of here."

Bai Guo quickly stood up, but couldn't help but glance at Qu Jingyao worriedly. He left the room helplessly under the master's cold and deathly gaze.

Bai Guo closed the door and touched her chest and spat out another mouthful of blood: "Puff!" She wiped it lightly with an indifferent expression, as if she was used to such things. She glanced back at the room worriedly, then walked slowly out of the yard helplessly.

The room suddenly became quiet. Qu Jingyao's eyes went dark and her heart skipped a beat, as if it was being tightly grasped by a pair of invisible hands. Her heartbeat became faster and faster, and even her blood began to surge.

"nervous?"

"Who... who is nervous? And who are you and why do you have to pester me?"

Qu Jingyao clearly felt the oppression from the man, but she was stubborn and stuck her neck out, still talking tough, struggling to get him to let her go.

Leng Yanxiu would never do as she wished. He raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, then tightened his arms around her a little more.

"Mo Xiu, remember this."

The magnetic voice sounded in her ears.

A hint of anger appeared on Qu Jingyao's face at this time, and she frowned to refute his words.

"You...what on earth did I do to attract your attention? Can't I change it?"

Leng Yanxiu laughed out loud, leaned over and blew a warm breath into her ear, then whispered that she needed a backer in her current situation, and he could be that powerful backer, wasn't that good?

Besides, although he has his own plans, he will never hurt her. She can just act with confidence, and he will naturally appear when the time is right.

"Wait for me, little one."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the brocade box that had been prepared on the table and placed it in Qu Jingyao's hands. He slowed his voice and said soothingly, "I'll have someone take you back."

"I don't care who you are or what you're up to. I won't grant your wishes. And don't bother me again. As for whether he has backers or not, how can a man who doesn't even dare to show his face be reliable?"

Qu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened, and she spoke very seriously, pushing the brocade box in her hand to Leng Yanxiu again.

"And Bai Guo, uh...Xuan Shiliu was coerced by me. Don't make things difficult for her. You're taking lives at every turn. You're taking lives lightly!"

Leng Yanxiu looked at her and saw that she looked cute even when she was angry, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha... you're taking human life lightly? Fine! Then treat me as taking human life lightly. Since you don't accept me and my gift, there's no point in keeping it, right? Then just kill me, come on!"

As Leng Yanxiu spoke, his voice suddenly turned cold, like the biting north wind in the cold night.

Qu Jingyao's heart froze when she heard his words. This man turned against her so easily. Could he be born in the Year of the Dog?

When she came here, she had promised Bai Guo to protect her, but now...

"No! You can't do this. That's a life. Besides, I was the one who threatened her..."

Leng Yanxiu pinched her chin and said in a low voice that when Xuan Shiliu disobeyed his orders and brought her here privately, she should have known her fate. As a secret guard, the first priority is not to disobey the master's orders.

As a modern person, Qu Jingyao could never accept such a joke of human life. If Bai Guo really lost his life because of her, she would never forgive herself.

"Mo...Mo Xiu, please don't, don't kill Bai Guo. Please...please, as long as you can promise not to kill him, I can consider what you ask."

Qu Jingyao struggled to turn around in panic.

At this moment, she could not see the cunning light that flashed in Leng Yanxiu's eyes. He looked at her jade-like face with a half-smile on his lips.

Looking at the expressions changing back and forth on her delicate face, the corners of his lips curled up, but there was no emotion in his deep eyes.

"I have never changed what I said."

Leng Yanxiu teased her and watched her expression change as she hesitated.

"As long as you take back what you just said, I will agree to whatever you want. What's more, you have already given the person to me."

Qu Jingyao gritted her teeth and went for it, shouting loudly.

Seeing this, Leng Yanxiu's smile widened. As his chuckle faded, he pretended to wonder how he would be able to convince his subordinates in the future. If his subordinates knew...

"You can't do this. I've already begged you so much. Why are you, a grown man, making things difficult for a little girl like me?"

Leng Yanxiu laughed out loud, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, but she agreed to everything she said?

Qu Jingyao bit her lower lip and nodded nervously.

"I want you to..."

"You...lecher." Qu Jingyao cursed angrily.

Leng Yanxiu said seriously that she was all he wanted from the beginning, and he had already said that he would come back to find her when the time was right.

Qu Jingyao pondered his words carefully. Was there something wrong with this man? Why did he have to be a village girl like her?

Leng Yanxiu grabbed her soft hands, touched the Red Water Fairy Ring on her finger, and whispered to her to just wait for him and not to think about anything else, as he would explain it to her later.

Qu Jingyao could only delay and rescue Baiguo first, and nodded silently.

Only then did Leng Yanxiu tap her forehead with satisfaction.

Ask her to put away the brocade box and call the people outside to call Xuan Shiliu.

Qu Jingyao was still stubbornly correcting him: "It's ginkgo."

"Hahaha...Okay."

There was a knock on the door at this time. Bai Guo was allowed to slowly walk into the room. She leaned forward cautiously and knelt down.

"master."

"From now on, you must stay by her side and protect her carefully. If anything happens to her, you will be held responsible."

The murderous aura from Leng Yanxiu was suddenly released, and he spoke in an icy voice. Bai Guo couldn't help but shudder and quickly kowtowed respectfully in response.
