The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

However, before leaving the house, Fang Qingyou didn't forget to take the self-defense stick she had prepared by the bedside.

As the fifteenth of the lunar month approached, the moon, though not full, was very bright, allowing Fang Qingyou to easily see what was happening outside.

When she walked into the courtyard and looked out, she could vaguely see a person standing outside her house, and that person was standing next to the carriage.

Someone did steal the carriage!

Fang Qingyou gripped the stick tightly, quickened her pace, and quietly made her way outside.

Fang Qingyou originally intended to knock the car thief unconscious with a single blow, but when she got closer and saw that the man's hair and beard were completely silvery-white under the moonlight, she gave up the idea.

Judging from the situation, the car thief seems to be an elderly person. If she were to strike him with a stick, it could very well be fatal.

Fang Qingyou walked right up to the old man before she realized that Yi Lingyun was already there, but his figure had been blocked by the carriage, which was why she hadn't noticed him before.

Yi Lingyun appeared to be confronting the old man, and the two were speaking in hushed tones.

With Yi Lingyun around, Fang Qingyou became even bolder.

"Old man, you're so old, why are you still out here trying to make a living? It's the middle of the night, don't you find the road difficult to walk? Fine, come with me, I'll give you some money. It's so late, stay at my house for the night, and remember, never do this kind of thing again, take good care of yourself."

Fang Qingyou thought she had put it very tactfully, because she thought that unless forced into it, what elderly person would be willing to steal?

But the "old man" was unmoved, glaring at Fang Qingyou and angrily shouting, "Nonsense! Who are you calling an old man? What have I done? Who wants your money?"

His hair and beard are completely white; is he an old man or a young man?

Fang Qingyou felt even more sorry for the "old man." It seemed that the old man also had a mental illness.

"Grandpa, don't be afraid. I won't tell anyone about your affairs. I'll send you away as soon as it's light, okay?" Fang Qingyou said, trying to help the "old man" up. But he flung her away with a flick of his wrist: "Get out of my way. I'm here to see the young master. What's there to hide that I'm afraid you'll tell me?"

Fang Qingyou felt a tremendous force suddenly strike her, giving her no chance to react, and her body flew out like a falling leaf.

Fang Qingyou thought to herself, "Oh no, it seems I really made a mistake. This strength is not something an old man can have. When I fall to the ground, I'm afraid all my bones will be broken."

Waaah, no!

Just then, Fang Qingyou felt her body being caught suddenly, and the tremendous force that had thrown her away was instantly neutralized.

Fang Qingyou looked up and saw Yi Lingyun's handsome face full of concern. It was he who caught her and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Xiaoyou, are you alright?"

Fang Qingyou even forgot to shake her head. At this moment, she thought Yi Lingyun was so handsome, even more handsome than when they first met.

This is a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene!

"Young Master, is she the Fang Qingyou you're supposed to protect?"

The old man stepped forward, glanced at Fang Qingyou, and looked annoyed and disgusted.

"Elder Xing, Xiao You is a very good person. You just don't understand her."

"What's so good about it? If it were good, she wouldn't have kept you away for so long! Young Master, I think she clearly has ill intentions and ulterior motives!"

Fang Qingyou glanced at Yi Lingyun for a while, then at the "old man," before finally accepting the fact that the "old man" really didn't come to steal the carriage, and that Yi Lingyun even knew him.

After clearing her mind, Fang Qingyou stood up straight and looked at Yi Lingyun, asking, "Young Master Yi, is he here to see you?"

“Xiao You, this is…” Yi Lingyun was about to introduce Fang Qingyou, but Elder Xing coldly interrupted him: “Young Master, our identities cannot be told to outsiders, and I have no need to know her.”

Identity? Aren't they just the young master and Elder Xing? She already knows that, okay?

Fang Qingyou was displeased by the disdain in Elder Xing's eyes, and her tone turned cold: "Elder Xing, I was wrong to misunderstand you, but ignorance is no excuse. I didn't know you knew Young Hero Yi. Besides, I haven't been rude to you at all, so you don't need to look down on me like this. Since you're here to see Young Hero Yi, then take him with you. I won't keep you any longer. Take care, and don't bother seeing me off!"

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou turned to leave, but Yi Lingyun reached out and grabbed her: "Qingyou, don't be angry, I didn't say I was leaving."

Fang Qingyou said calmly, "Your people are all coming to find you. You can leave now. Don't worry about me."

Elder Xing's anger intensified: "How dare you rebuke our young master like that! You truly don't know what's good for you! If it weren't for our young master, you would have died countless times already! Do you even know what's going on outside your home..."

Before Elder Xing could finish speaking, Yi Lingyun interrupted him: "Elder Xing, don't scare Xiao You!"

Fang Qingyou was stunned. She had a feeling that Elder Xing's unfinished words meant that someone was lying in ambush outside her house...

Was the ambush for money, or was it because of the serial murders?

"Young Master Yi, who are they?" Fang Qingyou was nervous. This was not a safe and secure modern place. If those people really had some purpose, she was afraid that the lives of her family of three would be in danger.

Yi Lingyun pulled Fang Qingyou into the courtyard: "Qingyou, don't be afraid. No matter who they are, I will protect you!"

Elder Xing immediately followed: "Young Master!"

Yi Lingyun's voice suddenly turned cold, filled with unwavering determination: "Elder Xing, you don't need to say anything more. If you want to leave, then leave on your own. I'm not leaving."

Fang Qingyou looked at Yi Lingyun with gratitude, feeling that he was as kind and lovely as an angel.

"Young Master..." Elder Xing called out to Yi Lingyun again, but seeing that he had no reaction and was pulling Fang Qingyou away, he was so angry that his beard trembled.

Under the moonlight, he saw Fang Qingyou's face clearly and couldn't understand why Yi Lingyun cared so much about such an ugly woman.

When Yi Lingyun first mentioned Fang Qingyou, he imagined her to be an absolutely stunning and captivating woman, but he never expected...

Elder Xing wanted to follow, but he was unwilling to enter the Fang family compound. After some hesitation, he ultimately stayed by the carriage.

Elder Xing wasn't too worried about Fang Qingyou, because he had already seen that she had no martial arts skills at all. Even if she really had any bad intentions, he was sure she wouldn't dare to do so with him around!

Elder Xing sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for dawn.

The young master can only stay for one more night. He will take him away at dawn tomorrow.
