Fearing for His Life

"By the way, how long will I be staying with the Qi Family?" Yuan asked the Manager before she left.

"You can leave whenever you want," she said to him as she walked away.

That night, Chu Liuxiang asked him, "You'll be visiting my Master's family tomorrow, right? Can I come with you?"

"The Mountain Lord said that I should go alone since the Qi Family doesn't like guests." Yuan said.

"I see… How long will you be gone for?"

"I'm not sure, but I will try to come back as soon as possible."

"Stay safe out there."

"The only one I need to be wary of is your master. I hope she doesn't hold a grudge after because I left her sealed." Yuan sighed.

"Master may be arrogant and a little hot-headed, she's not an unreasonable person. If you speak with her, I'm sure she'll forgive you."

"I hope so."

"Good night, darling."

"Good night."
