Chapter 838 - Shouldn’t You Explain First? (1/2)

Hong Bao blinked her eyes, clearly surprised that he knew her. She tilted her head and took a closer look at him. This man … She had obviously never seen him. If she did, she would definitely remember. He was handsome, after all! ”You are?”

Qiang Yan shut his mouth and gave an embarrassed smile. Right, she couldn't remember him. Her memory of the time in the Nine Heavens had been erased after she was found guilty in the matter regarding his nephew. Well, even if that wasn't the case, she might not remember him anyway considering that they had only met once and she had always been completely focused on the Fate's Scribe.

Hong Bao pursed her lips when he didn't answer. ”Don't tell me we did and I did something bad so you don't like me. Is that why you attacked senior martial brother Liu? You shouldn't do that! It has nothing to do with him! You can fight with me instead.”

Qiang Yan glanced from her to the man behind her who had furrowed his brows and was staring at him with an even darker expression than before. He could imagine what was going through his mind: His opponent was not only stronger than him and had a completely different opinion about matters, he was also acquainted with one of his martial sisters. That couldn't be good.

Qiang Yan wasn't too far off with that judgment. He wasn't quite spot on though. Liu Cheng was especially troubled because the martial sister this was about was Hong Bao. After all, this was the woman he loved. Even though he still hadn't managed to ask her if she wanted to marry him since his proposal went so horribly wrong six years ago, his feelings hadn't changed. Her missing memories had always been a concern for him and their Master because they never knew if she had offended somebody or gotten herself into some other unsavory situation. It was worrying.

Now, seeing that there was once again a situation where somebody turned up that knew her but that she couldn't remember, he couldn't help but become even more vigilant. Especially considering that this person had just spoken out in favor of the demons and attacked them while they were trying to apprehend two suspects. This kind of person shouldn't have to do with Hong Bao but if they did … the implications of that weren't good.

Liu Cheng pulled Hong Bao behind him, facing Qiang Yan again. ”How do you know her?”

Qiang Yan glared at him. ”I wouldn't know how that concerns you.”

”I'm her senior martial brother, we study under the same Master. Naturally, I should take care of her. So what do you have to do with her? Did you come here because of her?”

Qiang Yan glanced at Hong Bao again and sighed. This girl … After chasing Shun Tao with such fervor and being thrown out of the Nine Heavens, she had actually become a demon hunter and seemed to be embroiled with another man now. Ah, this was somewhat worrying.

Qiang Yan sheathed his weapon and shook his head. ”I have nothing to say to you about that. Some matters are better left untouched. Anyway, the two of you know each other, I'll give you a word of advice: Stay away from the people inside that realm. Otherwise, you will come to bitterly regret it in the future.”

”Why?” Liu Cheng furrowed his brows, tensing up. Was this a threat?
