Chapter 2

As a retired demon hunter, I have great confidence in my professional skills.

Perhaps my gaze was too intense.

Fan Hui instinctively shielded the beauty behind him.

Oh, what does he take me for?

I found it amusing: “Alright, let’s not all stand at the gate. The meal is ready, come in quickly.”

Fan Hui’s expression softened a bit, and he said to me, “This is Miss Hu Qing. She’s a bit unwell from the journey. Please take her to rest first.”

How convenient, just when I needed an excuse to probe this fox’s true nature!

With that thought, a bright smile spread across my face.

I grabbed Hu Qing’s slender wrist warmly: “Come with me to the backyard. You can’t take your health lightly. I’ll have the steward call a doctor for you later.”

Hu Qing’s body stiffened slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at me with a hint of surprise.

I applied a bit of pressure, and she finally followed me to the backyard.

The servants had all gone to the front yard, so there was hardly anyone around on our way.

Just as I was about to test her with a few questions, she spoke first:

“Aren’t you angry?”

I turned to look at her: “What? Are you disappointed?”

As we spoke, I channeled my inner strength through her wrist to probe her meridians…

I probed… and probed… but couldn’t find anything?

This sly fox has such high cultivation?

I was shocked internally, but my expression remained unchanged.
