Chapter 1990: Not as Honorable as She Thought
“Hmm.”
Xia Xia smiled brightly.
She trusted Qi Hui, but…
She still seemed nervous and worried.
Feng Ruqing had been missing for five years. If she were still there, Tianya would have already found her.
However, they had waited for five years and had not given up the search, but they still did not know her whereabouts.
***
The people in Hall of Punishment did not torture Nan Luo severely for the sake of Hui Yan. Not all people could survive here. Usually, after a visit, their skin would have been half peeled off.
Even though those people showed mercy, Nan Luo was still half-dead when she was carried out.
When he saw Nan Luo, who was so weak that she would faint at any moment, his heart suddenly ached, and he hurriedly ran forward, taking Nan Luo from the hands of the disciples of Nine Gate.
“You’er, how are you?”
Nan Luo lowered her gaze, covering the pain.
She shook her head. “I’m fine…”
“You’re hurt… How can you be fine? It’s my bad. I did not protect you well. But do not worry. Such a thing will not happen again!” Hui Yan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.
He only had his daughter in this life!
He loved her, and he wanted to protect her.
Therefore, he would not let others hurt her again!
Even now, Hui Yan still did not understand why Qiu Hui could not forgive his daughter. He knew that it was indeed Hui You’s fault, but it was not a big mistake that could not be forgiven.
‘You’er is just a small girl. How could she withstand such punishment?’
He took a deep breath and said, “You two come over here. Take Young Lady to rest first and remember to send all the spirit herbs to her so she can recover from injuries!”
“Yes, Master.”
The two female disciples had just passed by and stopped in their tracks after hearing Hui Yan’s order and responded respectfully.
Nan Luo opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she did not speak as she saw Hui Yan’s worried face.
Hui Yan looked at Nan Luo gently. “You’er, wait for me here. I will go and ask for better spirit herbs for you.”
Nan Luo smiled faintly. “I’m fine, Father. You can go now.”
Hui Yan handed Nan Luo to the two female disciples and left hurriedly.
After Hui Yan’s figure had disappeared, the female disciples’ faces turned cold, and they held Nan Luo harshly.
“I don’t know what Venerable Hui Yan thinks. It’s clearly Young Lady Hui You’s fault. Nan Chiyou is our Nine Gate’s Holy Maiden. Hui You is nothing compared to Holy Maiden.”
“The servants in Hui Yan’s courtyard said, since Young Lady Hui You came back five years ago, it was hard to serve her. And now she has offended our Holy Maiden.”
“I do not believe that Young Lady Hui You did not mean to say in front of a child that her mother has passed away. She deliberately said it to hurt Holy Maiden.”
The two female disciples had lost their respect for Nan Luo and even said that in front of her so confidently.
Nan Luo clenched her fists tightly; her body was trembling.
In all these years, she rarely left the courtyard, and the servants in the courtyard treated her respectfully, so she did not overthink it.
Now, after this matter, she found that living as Hui You… Was not as honorable as she thought…
