Hu Tu let out a sigh of relief. The moment he heard the commotion, he had rushed over without a second’s delay.
He hadn’t expected it, but the two prominent figures had indeed started fighting.
As for why they were fighting, he could naturally see it was all over Miss A Yue.
Ever since yesterday, he had realized there was more to this Miss A Yue than met the eye.
Back in the main hall, the power that had erupted from her was something no ordinary person could possess.
Although at the time, everyone thought the oppressive aura and killing intent had come from the Flood Dragon Clan man beside her.
But his intuition told him that the terrifying, razor-sharp power, like that of a god of slaughter, had only been released when the woman made her move.
But how could a woman possess such horrifying power?
He had never seen or heard of anything like it.
So, late last night, he had secretly sent someone to find a physician from the clinic that had been ordered to shut down.
He had learned some information from him.
He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t asked, and what he heard had truly given him a shock.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes.
Fortunately, he had arrived just in time. Otherwise, if those two had kept fighting, they would have probably demolished his City Lord Mansion.
Bai Chaosi had originally wanted to get the answer he sought from Shen Yue, but with Hu Tu’s sudden intrusion, he knew it was pointless to press further.
He calmed down and clutched his chest, saying,
"It’s not necessary. This little injury won’t kill me."
With that, he looked at Xiao Ya, who was sitting on the ground and clutching her arm.
"I have other matters to attend to. You go with the City Lord to see a physician first."
After speaking, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot without a second thought.
Xiao Ya sat on the ground, watching the direction where Bai Chaosi had disappeared. Her eyes were red-rimmed as she bit her lip, her fingernails digging so hard into her flesh they nearly broke the skin.
Hu Tu could only walk over, help Xiao Ya to her feet, and leave the courtyard.
Once the courtyard fell silent, Huang Ziyue reached out, took Shen Yue’s wrist, and gently pushed up her sleeve, revealing a stark bruise.
Bai Chaosi had done that.
His gaze turned icy.
"Go back to the room first. I’ll be right back."
’I’m going to skin that fox alive.’
Shen Yue grabbed him.
"Don’t go! I know what you’re planning to do!"
’He’s just going to chase after Bai Chaosi and settle the score.’
Huang Ziyue, held back by her, said with heartache,
"But he hurt you."
Shen Yue said, "Now is not the time for you two to be fighting. There are more important things to do!"
"Besides, you just injured him too, so we can call it even!"
Hearing this, Huang Ziyue knew full well how vicious his last palm strike had been.
Bai Chaosi was probably not having an easy time of it either.
’He’s probably hiding somewhere right now, clutching his chest and coughing up blood!’
The thought brought him some satisfaction. He turned back and said,
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
The two returned to their room. Huang Ziyue continued to rub her wrist as Shen Yue sat before him.
"Did you see the look on Hu Tu’s face just now when he saw Xiao Ya was injured?"
Huang Ziyue nodded.
"I saw it. He was very anxious."
Shen Yue fell into deep thought.
She hadn’t missed a single one of Hu Tu’s actions just now, not even the most subtle details.
Upon seeing Xiao Ya, Hu Tu had clearly shown extreme nervousness and worry.
She said, "I don’t think his anxiety was faked. It seemed more like an instinctive reaction."
Huang Ziyue replied as he continued to massage her wrist,
"I’m afraid their relationship isn’t that simple."
Shen Yue, of course, had guessed as much.
’If it were simple, he wouldn’t have been so anxious.’
She voiced her suspicions,
"We’ve only been in the city for two days, yet Hu Tu sent an invitation. Don’t you find that strange?"
"Perhaps Xiao Ya and Hu Tu have known each other for a long time."
