"Still here?" Bei Mingyuan asked again, seeing Yan Huo dilly-dallying.
Yan Huo hesitated for a moment, then pulled his hand back and tugged on the petal of a small flower. "Master, are you just going to stand guard here for this mortal woman?" he asked, gesturing toward the unconscious Xin Huohuo, who wouldn't even know if she were sold.
"I am guarding the Water and Fire Seal," he had corrected at the time.
But now, he wasn't so sure if it was truly just for the Water and Fire Seal. 'If this seal were on someone else, would I be this invested and concerned?'
He searched his heart.
But there was no answer.
Meanwhile, Xin Huohuo went to find answers herself. She had originally planned to wait until dark to ask Mr. Hei, but on second thought, she decided to skip the play-by-play for now. 'Better to go straight to Miss Lei and ask about the reason first.'
