Chapter 59: Third Master Hou Returns Home Early
Lu Yichen, Long Xinzhe, and Gu Qingqing are all from the four major aristocratic families.
Their marriages were destined to be arranged marriages with aristocratic families since birth.
Neither Hou Xiangli nor Qin Ruanyu had any involvement with Lu Yichen.
After some playful banter, the three of them moved on from the topic.
Lu Yichen suddenly spoke up and asked Long Xinzhe, "I heard Third Master Hou is coming back?"
Long Xinzhe is from the Long family, one of the four major families. His elder sister married Hou Junxin, the young master of the Hou family.
With the alliance between the two major families, their internal information is naturally more abundant than that of the Lu and Gu families.
Long Xinzhe looked up and said, "Is that so? I didn't know."
"Is it true or false?" Lu Yichen looked disbelieving, "My dad told me this morning that your brother-in-law took a leave to go pick up Third Master Hou ."
A few days ago, when Third Master Hou went abroad, various factions in the capital received the news even though they didn't know the reason.
As the chief secretary to the president, Hou Junxin is usually too busy to take a day off easily.
Today, he took a day off, and the president couldn't deny him that.
Hou Yunjiao, the heir to the Hou family, is coming back.
"I wasn't home last night, so I don't know," Long Xinzhe really had no idea about this.
"Is Third Master Hou really coming back?" Gu Qingqing chimed in.
The girl's face glowed, showing a hint of bashfulness.
Long Xinzhe and Lu Yichen saw this and felt slightly sour in their hearts.
Hou Yunjiao's identity, his excellent appearance and abilities, can be said to have made many women from the major aristocratic families in the capital go crazy for him.
So many noble young ladies wanted to marry him.
Although he was weak since birth, they couldn't resist he is really has a handsome face.
As men, both Long Xinzhe and Lu Yichen had to admit that Third Master Hou was really good-looking.
As for Gu Qingqing, she had just started her freshman year.
The wealthy and prestigious women who were queuing up to marry Third Master Hou were like a long dragon, but she had no chance to even join the line. This girl was just daydreaming.
...
Qin Ruan was not aware of the incident where Hou Yunjiao returned early.
She returned to her dorm and prepared to take a nap when she received a call from her senior sister.
"Qin Ruan, something happened. Someone died! You have to save them, they're all going to die!" Ling Xiaoxuan was incoherent and panicked.
Qin Ruan pressed her delicate brow and spoke in a gentle tone, "Senior sister, slow down and don't panic."
Ling Xiaoxuan reorganized her words and said, "Do you remember when I joined the Exploration and Occult Club and went to Qishan Mountain with others?"
"I know."
Qin Ruan knew about the mountain ghost Ling Xiaoxuan encountered in Qishan Mountain, which almost cost her life.
"The Exploration and Occult Club went to Qishan Mountain again. They all had an accident, and one person died. They can't get out of the mountain." Ling Xiaoxuan's voice was frightened, and every word she spoke trembled.
"Do you know the specific situation?" Qin Ruan asked.
"I don't know. I received a distress call from them. They couldn't describe what it was, but it was beyond a natural event. They can't get out of the mountain. If they stay there any longer, they will die! They will die! Can you save them, Qin Ruan?" Ling Xiaoxuan couldn't let her former teammates die without doing anything.
After the incident of Qin Ruan's bare-handed killing of the mountain ghost, she realized that there were dangerous unknown creatures in this world.
Thinking that her former teammates died in the hands of those things, she felt a chill in her heart.
Qin Ruan sat on the edge of the bed, her feet lightly hooked on the end of the bed, her movements were erratic.
She did not immediately agree, but was considering.
Qishan Mountain was in Yun City, and it took more than three hours to drive there. Entering the mountain would take even longer.
