Chapter 235 - That's very likely. Try your best to stay away from him. (1)
Many of Jia Han's attendants were standing inside and outside the room. They had been scared out of their wits. As members of a tribe that valued peace, they didn't even raise their voice. These people had never seen anyone use a gun, much less seen a person like Huo Ren, who would shoot someone just because of a disagreement.
It was only after hearing Chief Jia Han's instructions that they started moving again like people waking up from a nightmare. They hastily went out to fetch cloth and used the cloth to carry Yawen out.
Huo Ren glanced at Jia Han. He seemed to appreciate Jia Han's ability to quickly come up with a reasonable explanation for Yawen's death.
"I plan on staying here for a day," Huo Ren said, "Someone stole our important business secrets. That person has been spotted nearby here recently. I came here to take a look. Chief, can you assign people to help me search?"
Since he had impulsively killed Yawen, he had to ask Jia Han's assistance. He took a paper out from his pocket and offered it to Jia Han.
Even though Bei Nuan was far from him, she could still see it. It was a photo of that mysterious man.
Jia Han took the photo and nodded. "Of course. I'll send people out to look for him right away."
Huo Ren was very satisfied that Jia Han readily agreed. He stood up and on his way out, he said, "Okay, I have to go out to work too. I'm just an employee working for my boss."
Zhen Zhen hastily got up and followed after him. When she passed by the chair that Yawen had been sitting on, she saw the blood stains. She tugged on Huo Ren's clothes and said, "Huo Ren, you have to control your temper. It's not good for your health to get angry so much."
Huo Ren smirked and didn't reply.
His gaze fell on Bei Nuan.
Bei Nuan had stood up with Jia Han to send Huo Ren out, but Huo Ren stopped walking.
He glanced at her and suddenly reached out.
For a moment, Bei Nuan thought he was going to rip off her veil.
But no, his hand went in a new direction and grabbed her right hand. This was more terrifying than pulling her veil.
Bei Nuan had taken off her band-aid to deal with Yawen. Although she wanted to hear Huo Ren's secrets, now wasn't the time for that.
When she first saw Huo Ren, she had thought about using her temporary ability to interrogate him, but she had to wait until Lu Xingchi was present. It would be suicidal to hear his secrets that she shouldn't know about. She didn't want to share Yawen's fate of being sent to see the king of hell.
Bei Nuan was caught off guard, and Huo Ren successfully grabbed her hand. His fingers felt as cold as a snake's skin.
Bei Nuan looked at him in horror, but Huo Ren only smiled indecently at her. He pulled her hand to his lips, kissed it, and let her go.
Bei Nuan waited with bated breath.
Nothing happened.
Huo Ren leisurely led a group of people out.
Bei Nuan was frozen in place, too shocked to move. The timer for her temporary ability was still smoothly being counted down. It wasn't anywhere close to expiring.
"Saint? Saint Jiade?" Everyone else had gone out to see Huo Ren off. Dansui, who was standing behind Bei Nuan, saw that she was standing in a daze, and quietly called out.
Bei Nuan returned to her senses and grabbed Dansui's arm.
Dansui immediately started chattering, "That guy actually killed Yawen? Yawen is quite annoying, but that guy is too scary. Is he a psychopath? Why does Chief Jia Han still have dealings with such a bad guy? It's probably because they give our tribe a lot of benefits every year. Chief Jia Han is in a tough spot…"
Since there was nothing wrong with the ability, then the problem had to be with Huo Ren. Her finger couldn't affect him. Huo Ren must have an immunity to abilities!
This was very important. She had to let Lu Xingchi know as soon as possible, but she couldn't let him know that she gained abilities by doing tasks.
In addition, Huo Ren seemed to know Joan of Arc. Could it be that he was also a transmigrator like her? That was very likely.
When she had transmigrated here, the system had let her draw for a random ability as a newbie bonus, and she had gained a pocket space. Thus, if Huo Ren was a transmigrator, it was very likely that he had also gotten an ability.
However, she couldn't tell Lu Xingchi this information either.
Bei Nuan had a headache.
At the same time, Dansui was still talking nonstop.
Bei Nuan heard her saying, "I wonder what time it is. If the saint goes back to her room to rest, I can sneak out to go look for…"
Completely aware of what she was saying, Dansui looked at Bei Nuan in horror, but she couldn't stop herself.
"... for Brother Wen Qin. He must have been waiting for me all morning." Dansui looked like her world was ending.
Curious, Bei Nuan asked, "Who is Brother Wen Qin?"
This question seemed to open up Dansui's chatterbox. Her secrets flowed out like water.
"Brother Wen Qin came to our tribe not long ago. He's super handsome and has a very good temper. I liked him as soon as I saw him. I think he likes me too!"
The three minutes were up, and Dansui stopped talking, but she was on the verge of tears.
It was absolutely forbidden to freely fall in love in the tribe. If a couple was caught, not only would they lose the chance of getting married, they would also be whipped together in public.
Bei Nuan put the band-aid back on her finger, held Dansui's arm, and said, "Dansui, don't be afraid. I won't tell the others."
Bei Nuan led the teary Dansui back to her residence.
Lu Xingchi and Great Sage were waiting for her. These two disliked each other and sat far apart. Neither one paid attention to the other one.
Seeing Bei Nuan coming back, Great Sage leapt into her arms from a distance.
Displeased, Lu Xingchi unenthusiastically glanced at Great Sage.
Bei Nuan thought; Lu Xingchi, why don't you take a leap too? It was just that he was too big, and she probably wouldn't be able to catch him.
Bei Nuan turned around and said to Dansui, "Go look for your dear Brother Wen Qin. You're off duty."
Dansui was stunned and studied Bei Nuan for a while before she suddenly realized that Bei Nuan wasn't being sarcastic. She happily bowed and scurried off.
After Dansui left, Bei Nuan closed the door and carefully reported Huo Ren's arrival.
"I have this nagging feeling there's something wrong with Huo Ren," Bei Nuan tentatively said, "Do you think there's something special about him? And that's why he's so arrogant? For example, maybe he also has a special ability."
Surprisingly, Lu Xingchi quite agreed with her idea. "That's very likely. Try your best to stay away from him."
