“Let me help you with it,” Yan Xin said and sighed, taking out her walnut branch. After all, she had already displayed her magic power in front of Liu Qingcang. It wasn’t like she couldn’t do it again.

Yan Xin took the walnut branch and waved it at Liu Qingcang’s wound. In an instant, his wound healed. The walnut branch, which had already cracked, also shattered during the casting of this spell.

Yan Xin looked at the magic wand that she had spent a lot of effort to find and whispered, “Ugh… If the reward this person gives me is not enough to compensate for this walnut branch, I will definitely not forgive him!”

Liu Qingcang, who had excellent hearing, heard this little sigh and felt that this third young miss of the Yan family was not the same person as the mean and arrogant person in the rumors.

“Let me send you back. It’s not safe for you to be alone at this time of night,” Liu Qingcang said.

Yan Xin looked at him suspiciously and said, “I was the one who saved you just now! Shouldn’t I be the one to send you back?”

Liu Qingcang held his forehead helplessly and chuckled in a low voice. When he thought of Yan Xin’s heroic demeanor when she saved him just now, he could not say anything. By the time he looked up again, Yan Xin had already disappeared.

It was the appointed day. For the sake of her reward, Yan Xin had arrived at the appointed place early.

This was the largest hotel in the city. The people who went in and out were either rich or noble. Therefore, when Yan Xin who looked homeless because she often wandered outside, walked to the entrance of the hotel, she was immediately stopped by the reception staff at the entrance.

“I’m sorry, Miss, please show me your invitation letter.” The reception staff politely stretched out a hand wearing white gloves and stopped Yan Xin, who was about to walk into the hotel.

Invitation letter? Yan Xin stopped in her tracks. She didn’t know that an invitation letter was needed for a meal. Just when she was standing at the entrance of the hotel at a loss, a handsome man walked over.

“I’m sorry, this young lady is with me,” the man said to the reception staff with a smile as he took Yan Xin’s hand.

Yan Xin raised her head and looked at the man who looked crisp and fresh. She couldn’t help but think of the little disciple that she had brought up on the magic continent. He’d always had a shy expression on his face as he learned magic from Yan Xin. They were similar, yet not at the same time. This man was obviously more cheerful.

Because she had a sense of familiarity toward this man, Yan Xin did not break free from him and instead followed him into the hotel.

“Xin’er, why did you come here alone? Are you looking for me?” After entering the hotel, the man looked at Yan Xin gently and asked her.

When the man said the name ‘Xin’er’, a memory flooded into Yan Xin’s mind. It turned out that the man was called Xie Mingyu, Yan Xin’s crush. However, because of this man, Yan Xin had received even more ridicule and hurt from her second sister.

Speaking of the devil, as soon as she thought of Yan Zhen, the person herself appeared at the entrance of the hotel.

“Oh my, who is this? Isn’t that Yan Xin?” As soon as Yan Zhen entered the hotel, she noticed that Xie Mingyu was holding Yan Xin’s hand. She was already very unhappy with Yan Xin, so her anger immediately flared up and she couldn’t help but ridicule her.

Yan Xin coldly watched Yan Zhen’s performance without saying a word.

“What happened? You failed to express your love to Young Master Xie previously, and now you’re here to stop him? You’re really tearing me apart! How could you do such a shameless thing when you’re the third lady of the Yan family!” Yan Zhen pretended to be sad as she pulled their hands apart and put her arms around Xie Mingyu’s.

“No, that’s not right. You’re the third miss of the Yan family just because your vixen mother seduced my daddy. Daddy doesn’t even want to acknowledge you!” Yan Zhen clicked her tongue. “It seems that the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree!” Yan Zhen said proudly. She did not notice Xie Mingyu’s slight frown of disgust the moment she pulled him up..
