Seeing the bitterness on Liu Qingcheng's face, an involuntary look of confusion appeared on Ye Xunhuan's face.

If Liu Qingcheng had told Ye Xunhuan he was in big trouble before Guangling Zi and the others, Ye Xunhuan would not have doubted her. But now, Ye Xunhuan couldn't quite understand where his trouble was coming from.

"What big trouble could I have?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, "The Protectors have already left; are they really going to come back again?"

Liu Qingcheng's lips were adorned with an indescribable bitterness, and she nodded with some difficulty, "You're right, the Protectors are indeed planning to make a comeback, and not just them!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Xunhuan's face changed slightly.

Liu Qingcheng sighed slightly, "Isn't it all because of the seeds of misfortune you planted before?"

These words from Liu Qingcheng made the confusion on Ye Xunhuan's face grow even more intense and puzzling.

What seeds of misfortune had he planted before?

Before Xuan Shuangzi, Ye Xunhuan had never even offended the Protectors, let alone killed one of them.

Although he did encounter a Protector during the Yan family incident, it ended peacefully between them.

Before Ye Xunhuan could ask, Liu Qingcheng spoke again, "Do you remember the enmity you had with the Lin family because of Feng Xingjiu's matter?"

"Could it be that the Lin family is trying to rise again?"

"That's impossible." Liu Qingcheng shook her head lightly, "It's not easy for a family to fall, but it's even harder to rise again!"

"But after you killed so many people from Shu Mountain, do you really think Shu Mountain would just let it go?"

With a bitter smile, Liu Qingcheng continued, "And with Lin Zhetian still at Shu Mountain, the Lin family will definitely not let it go lightly!"

"Nor will Shu Mountain let matters rest. They've been clever and patient, and now they see an opportunity to accuse you, making the Protectors restless again and preparing to act against you."

Liu Qingcheng exhaled slowly and continued, "The Dragon Head originally intended to come to you himself, but he was worried you two would argue again, so he sent me to tell you."

Hearing Liu Qingcheng's words, a frown slowly appeared on Ye Xunhuan's brow, his face filled with a grave expression.

Originally he thought that because of Ao Wuheng's intervention, the Protectors would let it go. But now it seemed that things were far less optimistic than he had anticipated.

"It's not just Shu Mountain. The Dongfang family and Qi family have also gotten involved, and it even seems like there's a shadow of Kunlun among them," Liu Qingcheng added.

"Kunlun?" Ye Xunhuan's frown deepened, "I don't seem to have any grudge with them."

"Have you forgotten who you killed..."

At Liu Qingcheng's words, Ye Xunhuan's expression tightened slightly, "Are you talking about Shi Yunfeng and Shan Yujing?"

In the past, Ye Xunhuan killed Qi Jieyu, which brought Shi Yunfeng, and eventually led to Shan Yujing.

And after Shan Yujing's death, Liu Qingcheng was punished and locked up because of it.

But Kunlun didn't know about that.

"Exactly!" Liu Qingcheng nodded, "They may not be certain, but they know you have the Baishou Tai Xuan Sutra!"

Seeming to have thought of something, Liu Qingcheng added, "And you have the Taiji Seal; as the saying goes, an innocent man harbors guilt because of their wealth."

"The Dragon Head suspects that Kunlun, knowing you have the Baishou Tai Xuan Sutra, is using the Protectors as a way to pressure you, and they're planning to take the Sutra back."

Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly, "They've got a good plan!"

Currently, Kunlun is in a neutral position. If the Protectors succeed against Ye Xunhuan, they will likely come to negotiate about the Baishou Tai Xuan Sutra and promise to speak well of him to the Protectors, as a trade!

And in ancient martial arts sects like Kunlun, there are certainly members among the Protectors, possibly holding high positions, even playing critical roles.

So Kunlun is absolutely able to speak with authority among the Protectors.

If the Protectors fail, Kunlun won't be affected; they can take their time.

After all, the Baishou Tai Xuan Sutra has been absent from Kunlun for so many years, a few more days won't matter.

"Be prepared," Liu Qingcheng said with concern and unease, "This time, if they act, it will definitely not be like before."

"The Dragon Head advises you to go to the Xiahous in the southeast," Liu Qingcheng said heavily, "If you go there, the Xiahou family will definitely protect you!"

Liu Qingcheng was simply repeating the Dragon Head's original words without any alteration.

But after saying this, a ripple slowly stirred in Liu Qingcheng's heart.

Simultaneously, she couldn't help but think of Ye Xunhuan's mother, Qin Fenghuang!

She had seen Qin Fenghuang back then, and Qin Rumeng really liked her, even wanting her to marry Ye Xunhuan, but ultimately could not pass Qin Fenghuang's test.

Qin Fenghuang arranged for Ye Xunhuan to marry Qiu Ruoxi.

At first, Liu Qingcheng didn't understand and was even furious, wondering how she could be less worthy than Qiu Ruoxi?

But now, it was clear why Qin Fenghuang didn't want her as her daughter-in-law.

Because she didn't have the power to keep Ye Xunhuan safe after getting into trouble.

Qiu Ruoxi was different. Despite her business endeavors, she was the only granddaughter of Elder Xiahou and the heir of the Xiahou family.

As long as the Xiahou family stood up, Ye Xunhuan could live without worries.

Now, Liu Qingcheng realized that Qin Fenghuang might not have chosen Qiu Ruoxi for her virtues but rather because she understood her son's temper and knew about the Baishou Tai Xuan Sutra.

She insisted on having Ye Xunhuan marry Qiu Ruoxi, simply to ensure her son's safety.

At the same time, Liu Qingcheng couldn't help but admire Qin Fenghuang to the extreme.

The former number one beauty and talent in the capital truly earned her title; that vision alone was enough to surpass countless people!

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, "I understand!"

Liu Qingcheng knew Ye Xunhuan well; seeing his response, she realized what he was contemplating and immediately said, "Xunhuan, now is not the time to act on impulse. You can't handle them alone!"

"If you're not careful, they might force you to Europe. The Xiahou family is your only choice."

Liu Qingcheng had known Ye Xunhuan for a long time, understanding his somewhat macho tendencies. He would rather die than seek refuge.

The day he left Yinlong to become a Marshal was an example!

In his heart, relying on oneself was better than relying on anyone else!
