Chapter 1832: Chapter 1833: Have You Finished Everything We Asked of You?

Ye Xunhuan’s sudden cough immediately drew the attention of Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong.

As soon as they focused their gaze on Ye Xunhuan, he sat up abruptly from the bed.

Although Ye Xunhuan had just been in a coma, the killing intent in his eyes hadn’t fully dissipated. When he saw Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong, he instantly froze in disbelief, staring at the two in shock.

This... what is happening? Why are my in-laws here?

Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan realized a grave matter. Previously, he was in the Wuling Mountains, fighting with the Asura King and Shadow Guards, and was severely injured. How could he be here now...

Damn it, am I dead, or is this an illusion!

"Xunhuan, are you okay, are you alright?" Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong asked Ye Xunhuan simultaneously, their faces showing undisguised concern.

Ye Xunhuan shook his head bewilderedly: "Dad, Mom, I’m fine. I’m just..."

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan truly felt confused, like a monk unable to figure things out.

Qiu Shuihan seemed to sense Ye Xunhuan’s confusion and told him everything he knew.

After listening to Qiu Shuihan’s brief explanation, Ye Xunhuan understood.

He wasn’t dead, nor captured by the Asura King, but saved by a mysterious masked man.

And then, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong happened to be traveling in Fenghuang Ancient Town, and the man brought him here.

Although Ye Xunhuan felt it sounded unbelievable, he couldn’t deny that this was likely the truth; otherwise, how could he be here?

"Dad, Mom, you said the person who saved me wore a mask?"

"Yes!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Do you know who he is?"

"No!" Qiu Shuihan shook his head: "We asked, but he didn’t say anything. He seemed harmless, so we didn’t force him to stay."

It wasn’t that Qiu Shuihan didn’t want to keep him, but he might not have been able to.

"Dad, are you and Mom lying to me, saying you saved me yourselves? I know you two are anything but ordinary people. Although Mom’s health isn’t good, she’s far from weak..."

"I would love to have saved you, but it wasn’t us!" Qiu Shuihan sighed and patiently explained to Ye Xunhuan: "He wore a green robe and a mask like the Joker from a deck of cards, showing only his eyes. He’s thinner than me, about my height."

Seeing Qiu Shuihan’s detailed account, Ye Xunhuan frowned slightly.

Who is this person?

Why does he seem unfamiliar?

Is it that person from my mother’s tomb?

But that guy didn’t wear a Joker mask!

Did he change masks?

"And what did he say?"

"He said to behave, not to seek out the King, thinking of killing him. The King isn’t as simple as you think, nor are some things." Qiu Shuihan revealed everything without hiding: "Oh, and he said he’s your mother’s friend!"

Hearing Qiu Shuihan mention his mother, Qin Fenghuang, Ye Xunhuan suddenly thought of something and asked: "Dad, Mom, do you know anything about my mother?"

Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong exchanged glances and nodded.

Ye Xunhuan’s face instantly filled with excitement. He had been investigating the unknown side of his mother and considered asking Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan, but they were always elusive.

Now that he encountered them, Ye Xunhuan naturally seized the opportunity to inquire.

"Please, tell me about my mother..."

"Xunhuan, it’s not that we don’t want to tell you; we vowed to your mother not to say anything," Qiu Shuihan sighed: "Please don’t blame us!"

"Dad..."

"Xunhuan, we already told you everything we could. Not telling you is because we can’t." Qiu Shuihan interrupted: "Don’t pressure us."

Seeing Qiu Shuihan’s troubled expression, Ye Xunhuan’s face showed a hint of dejection, but he unwillingly asked: "Not even a little?"

"Xunhuan, we promised your mother," Xiahou Yutong suddenly said: "It’s not that we can’t tell you; it’s just not the right time. When the time is right, we will tell you even if you don’t ask."

Looking at Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan’s resolute demeanor, Ye Xunhuan felt helpless.

If it were anyone else, he’d find a way to pry their mouth open, but these were his in-laws.

He couldn’t use methods meant for enemies on them, could he?

Qiu Shuihan, noticing Ye Xunhuan’s dejected state, gently patted his shoulder: "Xunhuan, don’t overthink it. Not telling you is for your own good."

In this world, knowing more doesn’t mean living longer; sometimes, knowing less might help you endure longer!

Besides, if they told Ye Xunhuan everything they knew, he might not be able to handle it.

So, they unanimously kept silent, not revealing the truth to Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and managed a forced smile: "I understand, but when will you be able to tell me?"

"When the time is right. You might figure it out even without our help," Qiu Shuihan, like an old monk, started offering cryptic advice.

"Alright, let’s not talk about that. But you’re pretty bold, collaborating with the Asura King!" Qiu Shuihan reproached him: "So many people are watching him, others avoid him, yet you throw yourself into it."

Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong didn’t know Ye Xunhuan went there because Qiu Ruoxi was captured by the Asura King.

Otherwise, Qiu Shuihan might not have said that.

Ye Xunhuan didn’t explain to Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong, showing a sensible and remorseful attitude.

"Exactly, what’s the point of running to Miao Region? Have you completed the task your father and I gave you?"

Ye Xunhuan was stunned, looking at Xiahou Yutong with confusion: "Mom, what task?"

Qiu Shuihan saw Ye Xunhuan’s clueless look and immediately grew exasperated: "Grandson, I want to hold my grandchild, are there any updates?"
