”Lead the way,” Lady Xu said calmly The steward hastened to take Lady Xu inside
Inside the main hall, Grand Preceptor Xie sat in a until Lady Xu walked in He beckoned to her with his hand, gesturing for her to step forward She politely bowed to her in exchange
Grand Preceptor Xie said, ”It's good that you've come You should take a look at Shenyan1 now”
On the roof, Ning Xiaoyao asked Lou Zigui ”Who's Shenyan?”
”That's Chen Lu's courtesy na Xiaoyao furrowed her brows before she finally understood Then she whispered back, ”How co hi!”
It was impossible for Supreht be a tigress, but that didn't mean she could just saunter in and make a scene in front of Grand Preceptor Xie
Inside the hall, née Xu asked Grand Preceptor Xie in a voice choked with sobs ”Grand Preceptor, how is rieved expression ”Shenyan's prognosis is very bad The doctors have already given their best But, aye, you should see for yourself At a time like this, you should be by his side” In other words, he was telling née Xu that Chen Lu was already on the verge of death
Née Xu scrutinized Grand Preceptor Xie, but aside from sadness, there was no other expression on his face It see to do with this old ?” Grand Preceptor Xie narrowed his eyes when née Xu only continued to stared at hian to harbor suspicions in her heart again If those guards weren't sent by the Grand Preceptor, then the Xiang sisters ain Who's the Grand Preceptor's current enemy? It could only be His Majesty who sent those woht as she suddenly felt her soul leaving her body My husband's really on his deathbed?
”Someone come,” Grand Preceptor Xie called hastily when he saw that Lady Xu was growing unsteady on her feet
”Hurry in,” the steward called for two of the Chen estate's nannies still waiting outside the door The two old women entered just as Grand Preceptor Xie spoke up
”Support your mistress and help her to your master's side”
The tomen hastened to help Lady Xu, but they'd hardly touched her arm when she pushed them aside As they reeled back in shock, Lady Xu turned on her heel and ran towards her husband's quarters
”She's out,” Ning Xiaoyao ui from the roof ”Hurry, we need to switch spots to catch the show”
Before Lou Zigui could react, Ning Xiaoyao had already pulled hi to 'fly' into the back courtyard Supreme Commander Lou could only stare in silence at their joined hands as his feet left the ground in the wake of Ning Xiaoyao's dash Meanwhile, the steward had to run for his life to catch up with Lady Xu and lead the way By the ti at Chen Lu's quarters, all of the doctors e them all at once made Lady Xu lose all nerve to enter the bedroo Xiaoyao, ”Xiaoyao, Chen Lu's wounds are really alright now?”

”He got lucky,” Lou ZiguiXiaoyao questioned
”Shouldn't aXiaoyao rubbed her chin as her expression turned so Chen Lu, I've already looked into his case”
”What did you find?” Lou Zigui asked
”Now Chen Lu,” Ning Xiaoyao began, ”Might be the Grand Preceptor's number one subordinate in the capital, but he wasn't as heavily used as Tao Chen Still, we can understand that, right? Tao Chen was the Grand Preceptor's son-in-law and part of his own fauy's son-in-law instead”
Lou Zigui was already feeling lightheaded ”Just what are you trying to say?”
”I' to say that Chen Lu's never done any awful, despicable, atrocious, absolutely unforgivable beneath Heaven deeds,” Ning Xiaoyao replied quietly
Hearing this, Lou Zigui understood what she meant at last ”But it's impossible for Chen Lu to turn his back on Xie Wenyuan”
”It's forsaking the darkness to turn towards the light,” Ning Xiaoyao explained ”There's no issue of betrayal when it coui corrected himself ”I don't think Chen Lu will forsake the darkness to turn towards the light”
”We have to give hi Xiaoyao rubbed at her itchy nose ”Moreover, he's the son-in-law of Xu Jing! Xu Jing, oh!”
