"Uh, Qingyin, let explain, ngqi she’s not..."
Ye Haochuan tried to explain, but was interrupted by Fan Qingyin’s loud voice: "What’s there to explain? Are you really going to argue that she’s not a Demon Beast? Do you really think I’m blind?"
"This..." Ye Haochuan truly didn’t know how to explain. Although he didn’t have any ill feelings towards Zi ngqi, he couldn’t demand that others wouldn’t have biases against Demon Beasts.
"Haochuan, who is she? I’ve already transford, why is she saying this about ?" Zi ngqi seed to feel wronged, tears welling up in her eyes, she spoke in a soft voice.
"I..." Once again, Ye Haochuan found himself at a loss for words.
The relationship between him and Fan Qingyin was already very obvious, but to formally acknowledge it now would inevitably hurt Zi ngqi once more.
Poor Ye Haochuan, usually so quick-witted and eloquent, yet now facing this unforeseen "accident," he was visibly conflicted and lost in panic.
"Pfft~" Seeing Ye Haochuan so conflicted, Fan Qingyin couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Nani?
Ye Haochuan suddenly understood, and exclaid in mock frustration: "Oh, you two, you actually tead up to deceive ?"
The situation was now very clear. These two girls had obviously conspired to play a trick on him.
In fact, if Ye Haochuan had been a little calr earlier, he would have noticed many oddities.
First, the timing of Zi ngqi’s and Fan Qingyin’s appearances was too coincidental. One showed up right after he finished a call, and the other just when he was "about to sneak away."
Second, when Zi ngqi asked who Fan Qingyin was, Fan Qingyin had already been accompanying Ye Haochuan at the inn for most of the day. How could they not know each other?
The flaws were obvious, but Ye Haochuan’s guilty conscience had prevented him from noticing them earlier.
"So what if we tricked you? Who told you to be so unfaithful?" Fan Qingyin snorted playfully.
Ye Haochuan grinned mischievously and reached out to grab Fan Qingyin.
Lil did he expect that Fan Qingyin seed prepared, as both she and Zi ngqi dashed out of the room.
"Who wants to keep you company? I’m going to share a bed with Sister ngqi tonight." Fan Qingyin huffed and then left with Zi ngqi, not looking back.
Ye Haochuan smiled wryly. With so many won around, he went to bed alone and quickly drifted into a dreamless sleep.
Ring~ Ring~ Ring~
The familiar sound of a phone ringing woke Ye Haochuan from his slumber.
"Hello, who is it?"
Ye Haochuan reached out, grabbed the phone, and naturally answered it as he placed it to his ear, all without opening his eyes.
"Alliance Hierarch, where are you? Why are there two strangers in your room?"
The mont Ye Haochuan answered the call, Langfan’s anxious voice ca through.
Oh no!
As soon as Ye Haochuan heard this, he jolted awake, sat up on the bed, realizing Xun Jiwu was only at the Innate Early Stage, and Xun Xiaolian was still a child.
If Langfan and the others misunderstood sothing and acted against them, they wouldn’t even have the chance to resist before being wiped out by Langfan and the others.
"Don’t trouble them; they are new mbers of our Long Alliance. Just wait; I’m coming over right away."
Ye Haochuan hurriedly hung up the phone and then raced over to his original room’s door, quickly pushing it open.
"You guys?"
What t Ye Haochuan’s eyes was not the scene he had imagined, leaving him a bit confused.
In the room, Langfan, Ke Yan, and the others were gathered around Xun Xiaolian, each with a kind smile on their face. Ke Yan was peeling fruit for Xun Xiaolian.
Langfan was also nearby, eagerly serving tea and water. Except for Xun Jiwu, who just watched, everyone else was doing things to make Xun Xiaolian happy.
However, Ye Haochuan noticed sothing odd about Xun Jiwu. He stood very upright, but his body was trembling slightly, his shoulders shaking as if he were crying?
"Alliance Hierarch."
Seeing Ye Haochuan enter, everyone raised their heads to greet him, even Xun Jiwu looked up with gratitude.
Ye Haochuan looked at Xun Jiwu, noticing his slightly red eyes as if he had been crying, but his face showed happiness.
"Mr. Xun, why are you crying?"
Ye Haochuan asked directly: "Did they bully you?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Langfan and the others looked up at Xun Jiwu. They had been focused on Xun Xiaolian until now, only realizing Xun Jiwu was crying at this mont.
"No, no, no, Alliance Hierarch, you’re mistaken."
Xun Jiwu waved his hands repeatedly, explaining with a flustered expression: "I’m moved; I’m happy. It has nothing to do with them."
"Ah? Mr. Xun, you..."
Ye Haochuan was puzzled by Xun Jiwu’s explanation. Could joy and gratitude make him cry so much?
"Alliance Hierarch, you are such a good person; your subordinates are also all good people!"
With red eyes, Xun Jiwu exclaid: "They have given us the warmth of family, healing my wounded heart!"
After Xun Jiwu’s emotional outburst, he explained the whole situation, and Ye Haochuan finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that when Langfan and the others ca to find Ye Haochuan that morning, they found two strangers in his room, so Langfan called Ye Haochuan.
anwhile, Ke Yan and the others began asking Xun Jiwu why they were in Ye Haochuan’s room and where Ye Haochuan had gone.
By the ti Langfan finished his call and rushed back to the room, ready to tell everyone not to trouble Xun Jiwu and Xun Xiaolian, Ke Yan and the others had already learned the gist of the story from Xun Jiwu.
So, the soft-hearted Ke Yan and the others took out big bags of snacks and fruits to comfort the young and emotionally scarred Xun Xiaolian.
Xun Jiwu also received comfort from the group, and in the end, because Xun Xiaolian was too cute and thoughtful, everyone couldn’t help but gather around her.
Having just experienced a tragedy, Xun Jiwu encountered this group of empathetic mbers of the Long Alliance, which moved him deeply, leading to the scene Ye Haochuan witnessed.
"Hehe, Mr. Xun, that’s how our Long Alliance is; all our mbers are like family. You can think of the Long Alliance as your ho, and all of us as your family."
Ye Haochuan touched his nose. To be honest, he was quite happy now because the achievents of the Long Alliance were closely tied to his efforts.
The mbers’ behavior today was also a result of the teachings and examples he set as their leader, making the Long Alliance a loving family.
"Hehe, indeed, Mr. Xun, the Long Alliance is now your ho. They genuinely appreciate and are grateful to Ye Haochuan from the bottom of their hearts.
As a result, the mbers feel a heartfelt sense of belonging to their fellow Long Alliance mbers.
"Good, good, good! The Long Alliance is my ho, and you are all my family, boo hoo, Alliance Hierarch..."
In that mont, Xun Jiwu was overwheld with emotion by the mbers of the Long Alliance, crying uncontrollably like a child despite being an elderly man.
"Grandpa!"
Seeing Xun Jiwu cry, Xun Xiaolian hurried to his side, holding him tightly, silently crying as her and Xun Jiwu’s tears fell together.
