Chapter 1794: Feeling Uneasy
Chapter 1794: Feeling Uneasy
Chen Baozhu stepped forward, grabbed Anling Yan’s hand, and said with a smile, “You have grown up so beautifully, Yan. I liked you the moment I saw you. Why don’t you stay with me tonight?”
Anling Yao was frustrated. Cheng Baozhu was a sinister and shameless woman. Seeing her trying to get close to Yan, he knew she must be plotting something.
He was about to rush over to stop her. Suddenly, a figure stepped forward. She placed a long sword on Chen Baozhu’s hand that was holding Anling Yan and said coldly, “I’m tired. Take us to rest.”
Chen Baozhu felt offended and snapped, “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this? Do you know that I’m…”
However, before she finished speaking, she was met with a cold gaze.
Those alluring eyes exuded an intimidating aura that shook Chen Baozhu to the core. They were cold, calm, and deep.
Chen Baozhu inexplicably let go of Anling Yan’s hand and said, “Take… take them to rest first.”
With that, the group was taken to the rooms in the courtyard.
Chen Baozhu was infuriated and shocked. When everyone left, she exclaimed, “What happened to me? Was I frightened by a young boy?”

“Hmph, you won’t be able to keep this up for long,” Chen Baozhu thought, smirking as she remembered the Golden Crow Tribe hiding inside the courtyard. “When their leaders catch these people, I’ll have a great time tormenting that cocky boy.”
…
Anling Yan was given a room on the east side of the courtyard. The decor was modest and tasteful, but she felt uneasy.
All of them knew that sending Anling Yan to the Moon Embracing Palace was the hope of the entire Anling Family, and Aunty Shuang must have realized it.
Why would Anling Shuang be away at such an important moment? Moreover, Anling Yan’s uncle was not even there. Instead, Chen Baozhu showed up to welcome Anling Yan and her group.
Everything just didn’t add up.
Feeling anxious, Anling Yan was walking back and forth when the door to the room was pushed open and closed again without her noticing.
By the time Anling Yan came to her senses, there was already someone else in the room.
“Ah,” Anling Yan screamed. She opened her mouth wide and stammered, “Xi… Mr. Xi, why are you here?”
How did Mr. Xi come in? Why didn’t I notice it at all?
Xi Yue’s demeanor was as cold as ever. Her voice was soothing, but her words were direct, “Take off your clothes.”
“Ah—!” Panicked, Anling Yan’s face suddenly turned red, “Mr. Xi, you… you can’t…”
“I don’t have time for this,” Xi Yue said coldly, “There are people coming for you, and I want to see what they’re up to.”
“After you change into my clothes, head to my room and find Weizhi. He will protect you. Remember, stay put until you get my signal. I won’t save you a third time.”
Anling Yan listened to Xi Yue in a daze, then finally came to her senses, “Mr. Xi, you… you mean Chen Baozhu wants to harm me…”
Xi Yue glanced at her with disdain and chuckled, “Didn’t you say that you’re the secret trump card of the Anling Family? No one except your aunt and uncle should know about it. However, when that woman saw you today, she wasn’t surprised.”
