Chapter 117 Discovered

How could it be!!!

Gu Yunqi held his breath, not daring to exhale, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and slowly moved behind Jun Qianzi.

He's terrified of furry things! Especially anything that moves!

Seeing that it seemed to have no ill intentions, Jun Qianzi tugged at Gu Yunqi's sleeve and tiptoed back the way they came.

Wolf Overlord lay down on the ground, his purple eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

Once they were a distance away, Gu Yunqi grabbed Jun Qianzi and ran.

When he got to the big tree, he jumped onto the tallest trunk, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time I came, this dog was only tiny! How could it have grown so big in such a short time! It's terrifying!

Jun Qianzi looked at him with amusement, recalling the time when they were children playing together at the Duke's mansion and Gu Yunqi was bitten on the butt by the little dog kept in the mansion.

"Qianqian!" Gu Yunqi looked down and saw the amused smile on Jun Qianzi's face. He knew without even thinking that Jun Qianzi was laughing at something that happened when he was a child.

Just as he was about to jump down, he saw a dark figure slowly walking towards him from not far away.

As he got closer, he pursed his lips, jumped down from the tree, and then pounced on the man with open arms.

"Ah Yue~"

Gu Yunqi called out softly. Helian Yue heard the familiar voice, but when he saw who it was, he took several steps back and drew his soft sword from his waist. "Who are you?"

He frowned, initially thinking it was Gu Yunqi when he heard the voice, and was even a little happy.

Gu Yunqi only remembered that he was wearing a mask when he saw him pointing a sword at him.

Just as he was about to peel the skin off his face, Jun Qianzi appeared from behind and stopped him.

"Brother Yue, how have you been?"

Helian Yue was startled when he heard Jun Qianzi's voice. Then he looked up at the ugly man's back and saw an ordinary face.

Jun Qianzi took out her sachet and threw it at him. "A-Yue, do you recognize this sachet? It contains my favorite mint."

When they were little, their godmother made sachets and asked the three of them what flowers they wanted to put in them. The other two children chose orchids and osmanthus, but he only wanted mint, saying that he liked medicine.

Over the years, when the sachet lost its scent, he would replace it with mint leaves.

As soon as Helian Yue held it in his hand, a faint, refreshing minty scent lingered in his nose.

"Qianqian," he chuckled and looked at the two of them. Gu Yunqi immediately rushed over and said with a grin, "Ayue, Ayue! It's me! It's me! I'm the one whose butt got bitten by a puppy!" As he spoke, he patted his butt.

Seemingly afraid that Helian Yue wouldn't believe him, he pretended to take off his pants.

Helian Yue turned his head away from him, sheathed his soft sword, and said slowly, "I understand, but I'm afraid of getting a sty."

Gu Yunqi was overjoyed to see that he recognized him and happily circled around him. Although Helian Yue didn't know how Gu Yunqi's face had been altered, he couldn't help but say, "Yunqi, stay away from me," seeing how horribly ugly he looked.

He put it tactfully enough, and Gu Yunqi pouted unhappily and squatted down to the side.

Helian Yue and Jun Qianzi hadn't seen each other for many years. The two reminisced for a while on that tree. Helian Yue then plucked a leaf and flew towards Gu Yunqi, who was idly drawing circles on the ground.

"Yunqi, I'm going back now to listen to Qianqian."

He leaped away and disappeared from their sight. Gu Yunqi looked in the direction of the thatched house with his lips pouting.

Why don't you catch up with him? They haven't seen each other in ages, sob sob.

"gone"

Unlike Helian Yue, Jun Qianzi directly plucked a large handful of leaves and threw them down at the person squatting under the tree.

Gu Yunqi quickly stood up and jumped to the side. If a caterpillar on the leaf fell on him, that would be terrible.

The thought of those furry, wriggling worms sent shivers down his spine and gave him goosebumps.

Wolf Overlord had already returned to the house. Wen Luozhi, arms crossed, leaned against the doorway, looking at Helian Yue, who was covered in dew. "Your little friend came looking for you?"

She was sleeping soundly when Wolf Overlord woke her up with a paw and told her that they had come to her house before.

Hmph, I never would have guessed! It turns out he had scouted the place beforehand; that ugly man actually managed to steal Wolf Overlord's leftovers.

Helian Yue stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or back, his face filled with frustration and shame. "Lolo, things aren't what you think."

After he left last time, he never expected to come back, and upon his return, he still owed the person a life-saving favor.

Wen Luozhi grinned. "It's not what I think. You two had better be careful when you meet, lest you implicate my family."

Wolf Overlord has already said that these days, people have been sneaking in at night to look for Helian Yue. Luckily, they are his people, otherwise she might be moldy in the ground by now.

The traps didn't do anything, and she didn't catch a single person. It seems she'll have to study them carefully when she has time.

If Helian Yue's people can find us, then others will definitely find us too; it's only a matter of time. If that happens, our home will certainly not be safe.

"Don't just stand there, go back to sleep."

She straightened up, stretched, and called to Lang Batian to go back to the house with her.

She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even know the slightest sound of the people and wolves running away. If someone had come in, wouldn't that have been the same?

It's possible that she and her family were silently murdered in their sleep by Helian Yue's enemies.

From now on, Wolf Overlord will have to stay in her room so that she will know immediately if anything happens outside.

As Lang Batian was about to leave, he glanced back at Helian Yue, his eyes somewhat innocent.

It didn't actually want to tell the girl, but keeping it a secret forever couldn't be done; the truth would eventually come out.

Although it was said that Helian Yue's stay here would be shorter, and Wen Luozhi might even make him pack his things and leave overnight, it had no regrets!

That girl was so good to him, and his parents were so good to him too, never letting that brat bully him. Of course, he couldn't let them have any chance of being hurt.

He's just a good-looking man. If Lang Batian could turn into a human, he would definitely be a hundred times more handsome and dashing than him.

Helian Yue stood for a long time looking in the direction Wen Luozhi had left, then sighed and went inside.

He and Helian Zhiyan were already two big troubles; how could he act so recklessly? He shouldn't have gone out tonight; if he had attracted other people, they would definitely have been harmed.

Thinking of Wen Luozhi's suddenly cold face when she left, he felt a little flustered.

She must be angry, right? He had never seen her like this before.

He lay in bed thinking about the trip to the Southern Wilderness and the war in the north that his subordinates had mentioned. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and finally could only let out a soft sigh.

Touching the military books beside his pillow, he simply sat up and used the newly risen moonlight to pass the time.
