This tall man who was holding onto Ke Yuehua, was Dongfang Qi. Speaking of Dongfang Qi, he was also a talented youngster, and it was said that his master had great talent from the Myriad Sword Villa, and that his master's mastery of the Myriad Sword Return Sword Technique had reached perfection. Furthermore, he was the only son of the Villa Master, and news had spread that the next Villa Master of the Myriad Sword Villa definitely belonged to him.

However, Dongfang Qi himself did not care about the position of the Villa Master. Ever since he was young, he had wholeheartedly studied the sword, and when he went out to travel, he got to know Shi Jinchen. At that time, the two of them had concealed each other's identity, and with the fact that they were on par with each other in terms of strength, they formed a good relationship and became friends with each other in the martial arts world.

After that, the Old Villa Master of the Thousand Sword Villa was critically ill, and his Dongfang Qi was urgently called back to inherit the position of Villa Master. Although he was reluctant to part with his good friend, he could only bid his farewells to the Shi Jinchen. At that time, Shi Jinchen was still a prince and could not always stay outside. On top of that, the powers within the imperial court were in a state of turmoil and he had the intention to fight for it. Like this, the two of them separated for several years. During this period of time, they rarely wrote letters to each other, but because they were busy with their own matters, their interactions gradually ended.

Furthermore, since he had inherited the position of Villa Master in the Thousand Sword Villa, he had suffered greatly due to lack of experience, and had been challenged by all kinds of Elders in the Villa. Fortunately, there were a lot of people who believed in him, and he himself was indeed young and capable.

When his own manor lord's position was stable and the matters in the manor had been arranged to be settled, he took the opportunity to sneak out and leave the matters in the manor to his trusted aides. While he himself roamed around looking for people to discuss sword fights and taking advantage of the wealth to help the poor, he was truly happy. It had to be said that, as expected of good friends, there were many similarities between him and the Shi Jinchen.

After leaving the Villa, Dongfang Qi headed south, all the way to Jiangnan. Speaking of which, it just so happened that he came to Jiangnan and saw his young friend, Shi Jinchen, a few days ago. However, this Shi Jinchen did not seem to recognize him, and did not even notice that there were two tails behind him. Because he was worried about the safety of his friends, Dongfang Qi stayed in Jiangnan for a few days.

Although he did not know who had sent them here, and why they had appeared in this inn, Dongfang Qi still quietly followed them into the night. After seeing the two of them poison him, he had taken the antidote beforehand, and he had also taken his "little coal ball" along with the antidote. Who was the Dongfang Qi? As the current Villa Master of the Myriad Sword Villa, he naturally had all kinds of miraculous pills and medicines on him. What he used was a medicine that could cure a hundred poisons. After consuming the antidote, he followed his precious cat all the way to Shi Jinchen's room.

However, before this, he actually saw a woman in red standing in the corridor. She was dressed in red, but she wasn't as frail as the others, and she actually had her back against the wall for a long time. But who knew that after this woman was embraced she would still want to struggle, it was just that her strength was too insignificant, so Dongfang Qi simply carried him halfway to Shi Jinchen's room.

He had only revealed a few hands before to scare away the two assassins, and Dongfang Qi tilted his head to look at the red clothed female in his arms. Under the moonlight, her long, shapely eyebrows lightly knitted together.

Dongfang Qi took out a porcelain bottle, and poured out a round and moist pill which gave off a nice fragrance. The meek snoring kitten in his embrace seemed to have sensed something and came over with drooling eyes.

Dongfang Qi shouted softly, "This is not for you to eat." When he saw the wronged kitten meow, he couldn't help but laugh as he took out a small piece of dried fish from the cloth bag on his waist. "I really admire you. Here, take this." Thus, the cat contentedly took the dried fish and began to eat it with relish.

Seeing that the little treasure finally stopped playing, Dongfang Qi let out a light sigh, and also fed the round pill to the woman in his arms.

However, her body was too sore and weak, and she was still unable to move. She felt that she was in the embrace of a person, but this person's aura was unfamiliar, and it was obvious that he was not someone she was familiar with. Who was this person?

She was alert but remained calm and collected. When she felt the man lift her up, her body stiffened. She had always been this way when it came to touching strangers.

"Miss, since you're awake, don't pretend to be asleep. Talk to me." Even though the clear and sonorous voice sounded extremely young, Ke Yuehua continued to close his eyes and ignore him.

"Little coal ball, go wake up your sister." He then heard the young man speak.

Small coal? What was that? Could it be that there was a third person in this room? Yes, because Ke Yuehua was still unable to move, Dongfang Qi simply carried her all the way back to his room. When he placed her on the bed, he felt the woman in his embrace gradually become more awake, and thus wanted to invite her to say a few words. As for Shi Jinchen, he naturally didn't have any thoughts of showing mercy to the fairer sex, and let him sleep like this for the night.

At this moment, Ke Yuehua was thinking, at this moment, there should be only the two of them in the room, so where did the third person come from? She was alarmed and felt something heavy pressing on her chest. Her cheeks began to itch as if something furry was gently scratching itself. Soon after, his lips were lightly licked by a soft, sand-like object. He even heard the sound of "Hu Lu Lu", but he didn't hate it at all.

This is? Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and opened her eyes, which were as beautiful as emeralds.

"Meow?" The owner of those big eyes made a little noise at her.

Lying on the bed, Ke Yuehua without any expression: This, this is just too cute (covering my heart).

"Hahahaha, this is too interesting!" Looking at Ke Yuehua and his own small coal ball and staring at each other, Dongfang Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He then grabbed the cat that was stomping on Ke Yuehua's chest, and unrestrainedly pinched the little thing's soft cushion, "You little lecherous cat, why didn't you learn how to act like a gentleman!" Then, without a doubt, he was hit by a small ball of coal.

Ke Yuehua:...

After tossing and turning for a while, the little coal ball seemed to be unable to stand its crazy owner, so it jumped into the warm embrace of Ke Yuehua with its meaty butt pointing at Dongfang Qi, seemingly really angry.

"Good little thing!" Seeing that Dongfang Qi was rolling up his sleeves and was about to flare up, Ke Yuehua immediately coughed a few times and changed the topic: "Is this your cat?"

Dongfang Qi was originally a joke and did not take it seriously. Hearing Ke Yuehua ask him this way, he once again sat down and gave a carefree smile. Cough, this hero's cat is called Little Coal Ball. "
