Become A Protagonist 2's
Chapters. 24 - Return

”I heard someone say that right now, Young Master Xiao is in Shaanxi village.” whispered one of the maids in front of the room that Yin Hua had currently occupied. However, the two were completely unaware that Yin Hua was listening to them talking from behind the door.

”Yes, I heard it too. What surprised me after hearing their conversation was about a young man next to her. He was the one who was resurrected by the deceitful god. Son of Lady Yin, his name is Xiao Ruo!”

Yin Hua looked extremely shocked after hearing that. She involuntarily cried as she fell behind the door. Instantly, his breathing became congested and he continued to lower his gaze.

”A-Ruo,... Is he really alive? Is he really alive?” inner Yin Hua who looked messy because he was busy thinking about it. He stared at the open window and saw a black horse that had been left there.

”The only way to prove it, is simply by coming straight there. I hope what I hear is true happened.”

Yin Hua jumped out the window and after that, he left riding on a dark horse that was there.

”Well, what are you doing Qing Xuan? Comehere! I'm tired of looking for you!” he Nan Ming said as he extended his hand.

When he saw He Nan Ming take him away, there was a sense of confusion in Xiao Qing Xuan's mind. He felt he could not just leave. Right now, he only wanted to return to Huanxu, his own residence. He did not think at all about He Nan Ming who also followed him here.

”How did Uncle know that I was here?” xiao Qing Xuan asked.

He Nan Ming was stunned and replied, ”Why ask? Wouldn't it be great if I managed to find you? Jiu Meishan and Jinyu Xiaojie told me. He said you were in Shaanxi village. Am I wrong if I am here to take you home?”

Xiao Qing Xuan was speechless as he thought about it. It's getting more and more absurd. It was fortunate that Liu Zhang Chen immediately understood to immediately hide inside the inn without showing his face in front of He Nan Ming. He knew that if he showed his face, maybe the two would start a fight to the death.

Xiao Qing Xuan shook her head and clasped Xiao Ruo's hand tightly. ”... No. gabe. Right now, I just want to be with Brother Ruo. Therefore, I really enjoyed the trip and wished that no one would come looking for me. Because, when I get to Huanxu, there's a chance that I'll release Ruo's brother again.”

He Nan Ming was silent for a moment. Before long, he laughed and said, ”What's wrong with you? Do you want to repay him for protecting you to the point of sacrificing your life? All you see right now, is nothing but a revived corpse. Aren't you disgusted to see it?”

Xiao Qing Xuan looked furious after hearing that. Before long, Xiao Ruo let go of Xiao Qing Xuan's handrails as he said to her, ”Come back to her. I will be fine.” he said ended with a thin smile.

Xiao Qing Xuan looked at him anxiously. Unable to think clearly, Xiao Qing Xuan directly pulled Xiao Ruo away from there.

Straight away, He Nan Ming ordered his troops to immediately chase the two of them however, he himself just stayed in place and waited for something to come to him.

As everything was gone, He Nan Ming stared at an inn standing not far in front of him. He called out, ”... Until when are you going to hide there, Zhang Chen?”

Shortly after, Liu Zhang Chen finally walked out from within the inn. He let Zhi Shuang stay inside the residence while he was going to face He Nan Ming who looked very angry at him.

He Nan Ming smiled as he saw that Liu Zhang Chen had dared to face him. ”... You really don't know yourself. After you killed them both, you still dare to show your face in front of them?” he said with an expression that looked very upset. ”... Qing Xuan might be able to forgive you but, you didn't not ask if I could forgive you?”

Liu Zhang Chen smiled a smirk as he hid his expression. ”You're right. Since I've been standing in front of you, why don't you kill me now? I don't care what I have to do next. Please! Do as you please.” he said as he spread out his hands.

He Nan Ming had no expression upon hearing that. Shortly after, he took out one finger then, from underground appeared several sharp chains that directly bound Liu Zhang Chen to make him fall to his knees because the chains were so heavy.

He Nan Ming looked at him sharply as he said, ”You think by killing you I will be satisfied? I think torturing you to death is the right choice.”

Then, after that appeared a few black-robed troops that were behind him. Those people directly brought Liu Zhang Chen as He Nan Ming said, ”... Bring him back to Mubei and lest Qing Xuan find out.”

Xiao Qing Xuan continued to be silent as Xiao Ruo began to question him. He looked worried and worried. He did not know what would happen next if he went with He Nan Ming without visiting Huanxu first.

Shortly after, the two stopped when they found a cliff wall that cornered them. Xiao Qing Xuan had lost her mind to leave. He stared in all directions, but he did not find a way out because he was surrounded.

Xiao Qing Xuan let go of her handrails and said softly, ”Sorry, Brother Ruo. I can't think straight. I just don't want to go back to Mubei. I want my life to be the way it used to be.”

Hearing that, Xiao Ruo looked stunned. He touched Xiao Qing Xuan's shoulder and said, ”One day, all of it will definitely return. Brother Xuan don't worry about it too much.”

”Young master! Young master!” exclaimed a young man who ran through the ranks of the troops that surrounded him. ”... I've finally found you, young master. I'm so happy that the young master is still alive today.”

Xiao Qing Xuan gazed towards a young man who called out to her. At first he felt very confused by the appearance of the young man without wearing his headscarf so that his face could be seen by everyone.

This young man was, Chang Ye, the son of Second Uncle He Litao.

Seeing him, Xiao Qing Xuan increasingly walked backwards away from him. He did not know why everyone had suddenly visited him like this. If he were to take Xiao Ruo with him, He Nan Ming would probably reject him outright and replace Xiao Ruo with Chang Ye next to him.

”What's the young master? You don't want to go back to Mubei?” ask Chang Ye back.

Xiao Qing Xuan was silent for a moment. He had time to think why He Nan Ming was not here to meet him and give a lecture to him. However, it was easily forgotten and focused on what he was currently experiencing.

”I just want to go back to Huanxu.” short Xiao Qing Xuan.

Chang Ye was stunned and immediately said, ”Then, I will take you there. After all, up ahead there was a group of magical beasts ready to attack and even make half of our army fall. So, we will protect the young master to get to Huanxu.”

”I know he can be trusted but, He Nan Ming is here.” Xiao Qing Xuan's inner being looks confused.

”A-Ruo? You were there?” ask a woman who walked past some of the teams that were blocking her. Then, shortly after, the face of the woman was visible and made Xiao Ruo's expression instantly extremely shocked.

”A-Ruo? Are you really alive? Is this really you?” yin Hua asked as she held onto Xiao Ruo's face as if she could not believe that what she saw was reality.

Xiao Ruo looked extremely depressed upon seeing her. He was silent for a while while releasing Yin Hua's hand that kept touching his face. ”Mother is right, this is me.”

Yin Hua smiled happily when she heard him. Then, as he looked at Xiao Qing Xuan who was standing behind him, Yin Hua directly pulled Xiao Ruo back and unsheathed his dagger towards Xiao Qing Xuan.

”You murderer! Get out of my sight!” yin Hua shouted that looked extremely angry at him.

Seeing that, Xiao Ruo became very surprised and he immediately lowered the knife in Yin Hua's hand. ”Mother, relax! This is not all Xuan's sister's fault!”

”Don't fight me! He is a murderer!” yin Hua said.

Xiao Qing Xuan was speechless as she lowered her head. A black robe floated up and landed right on his head. Then, He Nan Ming appeared next to him and directly patted both of his shoulders. ”... I'm sorry, but my nephew was killed by the same man. So, do not recklessly accuse her or you will swallow the consequences.” He Nan Ming said as he stared coldly at Yin Hua.
