The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Hu Wan stared at Ah Rou, his eyes flashing with dangerous light.
"Are you threatening me?"
Huyue shook his head, "Of course not. In fact, I have always respected you very much, but Ah Rou is my woman. I promised to protect her forever, so I must do it!"
Surprisingly, Hu Wan was not angry this time. Instead, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and then he slightly tilted his head, speaking coldly, "Do you know what it means for you to do this?"
"I can let this matter go and even cover for you. But you will eventually return to the Qingqiu Fox Country. When the Great Elder and the other elders learn of this, how will you deal with it?"
"By then, the pressure they exert on you will be far greater than mine. Are you going to endure it like this?"
Huyue laughed boldly, "Third Elder, I know you mean well for me, but although I, Huyue, am usually unserious in life, I must keep my promises to others, regardless of the cost!"
