Listening Rain Pavilion.
Nan Yan was in Qin Lu’s room. The two of them were working together, preparing to crack the internal network of the Sheng family.
The more mysterious the Sheng family appeared, the more intrigued Nan Yan became. Since the Sheng family not only provoked her but also restricted their freedom by imprisoning them here, she needed something to occupy herself.
“Nan Yan, come out for a moment.”
Nan Yan’s fingers paused on the keyboard as she turned to Qin Lu and said, “Brother, you continue. I’ll be back in a moment.”
Qin Lu nodded calmly, “Sure, go ahead.”
Pushing aside the keyboard, Nan Yan went outside. As she walked, she felt a bit puzzled about why her master wanted to see her.
Whenever there was something, they would usually come directly to her. This time, calling her outside seemed unusual. Could it be that he didn’t want Qin Lu to hear?
Nan Yan’s mind raced with thoughts. After all, she was also worried about how to convince her masters to accept her relationship with Qin Lu.
When she stepped outside and saw the few people standing in the courtyard, she realized she had overthought it.
Clearly, her master called her out to deal with the man who had been thrown to the ground. Fu Yubai, Gu Chen, and Sun Chan were all present. Gu Chen was angrily accusing Sun Chan of deliberately leading them astray earlier, bringing them to Bishui Garden with malicious intent.
“Master, if it weren’t for Senior Sister Nan, Senior Brother Fu, and Mr. Qin’s abilities, we would have been bitten to death by snakes long ago. This person is simply outrageous!” Gu Chen complained to Sun Chan with anger.
Sun Chan’s face was cold, his anger rising, but because Hua Shifang was present, he endured his temper, waiting for Hua Shifang to speak.
Hua Shifang’s expression was stern as he asked, “Nan Yan, is it true what Gu Chen said?”
He didn’t mind being kidnapped or coerced himself, but whoever dared to harm his most precious disciple was unacceptable.
In Hua Shifang’s mind, Fu Yubai and the others, his three disciples, were not as important as Nan Yan. Primarily, it was because Nan Yan was a female disciple, while the other three were just mischievous boys, not as likable.
“Master, the situation is indeed as Gu Chen described, but…” Nan Yan’s words were cut off as Hua Shifang took action. Chen Si received three lashes from Sheng Jing.
Although the lashes wouldn’t take his life, Sheng Jing’s hand was heavy, causing his flesh to tear and his bones to ache. He had been forcibly dragged here by two guards.
