"Changyi, you must take me in," urged Jue Chen, "The mansion has become incredibly unsafe. Those clad in black come and go as if it were vacant."
Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing exchanged looks: "..." Was it really that exaggerated? The mansion had its fair share of Protectors, didn't it?
But Gong Juese didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her brother's words. Instead, she pleaded, "Brother Changyi, please shelter my brother. Your place is truly much safer."
Xiao Changyi didn't immediately respond to Gong Jue Chen. He turned to Meng Zhuqing and the others and said, "All of you, leave."
Without another word, Meng Zhuqing turned and left.
Meng Lanqing also wanted to do the same, but it seemed his wife was reluctant to go. So it was only after he dragged her along that they departed.
Once only Xiao Changyi and Gong Jue Chen were left in the front hall, Xiao Changyi spoke icily, "Stop pretending."
