Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Yuwei felt unsettled but Gu Juexi’s presence eased her mind a little.

“Get some sleep. Yu Jiangqing will blow up the entrance tomorrow if he doesn’t hear from me,” Gu Juexi said as he helped Ye Yuwei lie down in bed.

“Blow up?”

“Wasn’t that your idea?” Gu Juexi raised a brow.

Ye Yuwei didn’t know how to react because she wasn’t actually serious about what she said.

“Where are you going?” Ye Yuwei asked worriedly, quickly grabbing Gu Juexi’s wrist when he got up to leave.

“And I thought you were as tough as you look,” Gu Juexi chuckled as he sat down again at the side of the bed and tucked Ye Yuwei in. “Don’t worry, no one can hurt you. Not tonight.”

Ye Yuwei knew the man was not a smooth talker. She was tough only when Gu Juexi was not by her side.

“Be grateful that I hide my toughness when you are around,” Ye Yuwei humphed but continued to hold Gu Juexi’s wrist.

Gu Juexi pulled Ye Yuwei into his arms and rubbed her shoulders. “Get some sleep. I will go after you fall asleep. Sleep now because you might not get the chance to sleep tomorrow.”

“What about you?” Ye Yuwei asked worriedly. She knew that he was the one fighting all the battles.

“A mere two days means nothing to me,” Gu Juexi said softly and put his hand on Ye Yuwei’s face to cover her eyes.

“You are in your forties, sir,” Ye Yuwei argued, annoyed at Gu Juexi’s reaction.

“Are you saying that I am old, Ye Yuwei?” Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s chin and growled, then suddenly nipped her lips. “Don’t even try it.”

Feeling that she was merely stating a fact, Ye Yuwei was speechless at Gu Juexi’s reaction.

Considering their situation now, all Gu Juexi could do was win petty quarrels, hang around Ye Yuwei and nothing else. After all, everyone out there was trying to take his life.

Gu Juexi kept Ye Yuwei company for about an hour to make sure she felt safe.

Ye Yuwei yawned and fell asleep in Gu Juexi’s arms with her arms wrapped around his waist.

Gu Juexi got up carefully after making sure that Ye Yuwei was sound asleep, and left the room through the window only after tucking her in properly.

Meanwhile, in the first patriarch’s study, Qian Yikun and all other patriarchs were arguing.

The second patriarch was pacing the study impatiently.

“I have said this before, brother. Bai Ying was brainwashed by Ye Shu and she has been trying to sabotage us!” said the fourth patriarch angrily. “Just look at this!” The fourth patriarch said loudly as he pointed at Gu Juexi’s picture projected on the wall, “Yan Feng works for Bai Ying and he has the same physique as Gu Juexi. I am sure that something is fishy about Yan Feng.”

“We should let our people leave, brother. I am sure that Gu Juexi is up to no good,” said the third patriarch calmly, “make sure that the distribution map is properly kept, Sixth.”

“I have just retrieved the map and kept it on me,” said the sixth patriarch, “there is no way that Gu Juexi could get rid of any of us without the distribution map.”

The first patriarch squinted at Gu Juexi’s picture on the wall thoughtfully.

“We have been treating Bai Ying well since Master Bai passed away Brother, but she is working with outsiders to take us down!” The second patriarch hissed furiously.

Qian Yikun leaned back against the couch and curled his lips as he looked at the angry patriarchs. “Gu Juexi couldn’t possibly be here, if you ask me.”
