Chapter 90
Zhi Yao looked at Pei Chiyao with bewilderment, "Where are you going?"
"To handle some matters for the Pei Family. Wait for me."
As the words left his mouth, Xie Tingyan came over with a solemn expression, "Brother Yao, don't worry, this time I'll stick to Zhi Yao like glue. If even a single strand of her hair falls out, I'll pull out ten strands from my own head to compensate her. Even if Zhi Yao goes to the ladies' room, I'll follow her in."
Zhi Yao: "......" That's really not necessary.
Pei Chiyao shot a cold glance at Xie Tingyan, "You'd better."
This was the last time he would trust Xie Tingyan.
"I absolutely will!" Xie Tingyan swore with three fingers pointed to the sky.
Pei Chiyao left this place. Zhi Yao watched his retreating figure, and for some unknown reason, her heart grew uneasy.
She turned to Xie Tingyan and probed, "Xie Tingyan, do you know what Pei Chiyao went to do?"
"He probably went to see Older Pei," Xie Tingyan's eyes bulged like copper bells, staring fixedly at Zhi Yao. "Don't you know? The host of this banquet is Older Pei himself. It seems he's going to announce something about the Pei Family, but Older Pei hasn't shown up yet."
How strange, the banquet was nearing its conclusion, yet that old man still hadn't appeared.
Older Pei?
Zhi Yao grew curious, "Is he Pei Chiyao's grandfather?"
"No," Xie Tingyan wasn't too familiar with the affairs of the Pei Family either. "Well, you can't really say that. You should ask Pei Chiyao about the specifics."
The matters of the Pei Family were like a puzzle. It was only known that when Pei Chiyao was five years old, his parents had died in a car accident. Not long after, the Pei Family had sent the young Pei Chiyao abroad alone. It wasn't until a few years ago that Pei Chiyao returned to the country.
Zhi Yao didn't press further.
She chatted idly with Xie Tingyan, but no matter what she did, it seemed as though someone was watching her every move.
Not just one gaze, but several.
Whenever Zhi Yao looked up, trying to trace those gazes, she couldn't find their source.
How strange.
But soon, Zhi Yao had no mind to care about such things.
Because... she waited for a long time, but Pei Chiyao didn't return.
Half an hour had already passed. Hadn't Pei Chiyao said he would be back soon?
Zhi Yao froze, then grew even more anxious. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
In her panic, she disregarded his warning and stepped into the pitch-black room.
Although there was no light, Zhi Yao's eyes could see clearly in the dark.
She soon found Pei Chiyao lying on the ground.
Amid the dark red, he lay there, weak and feeble.
Zhi Yao was horrified and rushed over, tears falling from her eyes. "Pei Chiyao, what's wrong? What happened?"
She didn't dare move him carelessly, unsure of where his wounds were.
This was the first time Zhi Yao had seen Pei Chiyao injured.
In her heart, Pei Chiyao seemed to have always been an invincible existence. He wouldn't be sad or upset. He wouldn't get hurt. There was nothing in the world Pei Chiyao couldn't handle.
But now, he lay weakly in a pool of blood, his face as pale as a ghost, his breathing faint, blood splattered everywhere.
On his face... body... hands...
Not a single place was untouched by fresh blood.
Just half an hour ago, Pei Chiyao had been standing right in front of her, perfectly fine.
What on earth had happened?!
"Pei... Chiyao..." Zhi Yao sniffled, at a loss.
Pei Chiyao covered the area over his heart, moving his fingers slightly as he said weakly, "Yao, don't cry. Stay away from me. You'll... get dirty."
Her pure, white, soft little fox would be stained by his blood.
But Zhi Yao couldn't care less. She leaned closer and nuzzled Pei Chiyao's fingers, not minding at all that her pristine fur was now dyed red.
Pei Chiyao let out a muffled groan and tried to avoid Zhi Yao's touch, inadvertently loosening his grip on his tattered shirt.
The shirt was in tatters, as he had tried to cover the area over his heart, but his movements exposed a glimpse.
In the darkness, a glint of light flashed.
Zhi Yao froze on the spot. She... she saw what?!
Scales?!
