 Chapter 120: Inevitable Life and Death of the Two Opposing Forces

It should be noted that in all the information the Hou family collected on Qin Ruan, there was no record of her involvement in the occult.

"I just have a slight understanding," Qin Ruan said, pinching her fingertips and sitting up straight, like a well-behaved student in front of a teacher.

"Why are you so nervous?" Hou Yunjiao reached out to stop her from "torturing" herself, squeezing her hands until they turned white.

He played with Qin Ruan's hands, hoping to make her relax.

However, when he saw the glaring old scars on her hands, there was a flicker of darkness in his eyes.

It's no wonder she had those scars on her hands; they must have been from fighting with someone in the western city.

Hou Yunjiao could see how difficult Qin Ruan's life had been in the western city through the several pieces of information on the desk in his study.

However, he couldn't imagine how a girl could endure so much pain and suffering.

He had originally planned to interrogate Qin Ruan about when she entered the metaphysical, but upon seeing these scars, Hou Yunjiao felt heartbroken.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the scars of different sizes on her hands, asking softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Qin Ruan followed his gaze and looked at the scars on her hands, feeling a faint sourness in her heart.

She whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

It didn't hurt now, but it had hurt a lot when she was injured.

If she hadn't fought and endured the pain, how could she have protected herself?

"Good girl, I won't let anyone bully you in the future," Hou Yunjiao released her hand and opened his arms, embracing Qin Ruan.

This was a warm embrace with the scent of agar wood.

Hou Yunjiao's sexy lips fell on her forehead, without any hint of desire or emotion, just a simple hug and a comforting kiss.

Sniffing the strong scent on him, Qin Ruan felt a little shy, her ears turning abnormally red.

Fortunately, Hou Yunjiao only hugged her for a moment before letting go.

Otherwise, she was afraid her rapid heartbeat would be noticed by him.

Hou Yunjiao patted Qin Ruan's head, ignoring her blushing expression, and continued with the previous topic.

"When did you join the study of metaphysics?"

Qin Ruan didn't want to lie to him and shook her head gently. "I haven't officially joined the study of metaphysics. I can just see the aura on people naturally, so I understand it."

The Hou family had a close relationship with Ling Shanmen's Ling Xu son, and because of his physical condition, Hou Yunjiao also had some understanding of metaphysics.

As far as he knew, even the highly respected Grantmaster Ling Xu , who had exceptional abilities, couldn't see the aura on every person.

The aura was related to a person's fate. Even someone with Yin Yang eyes who could see impurities could not see a person's destiny.

Hou Yunjiao's face was calm and serene, and his expression was solemn.

He frowned at Qin Ruan, his eyes serious and deep.

"You can see the aura on Qiaoxi but what about me? What can you see?"

Qin Ruan licked her lips, and a faint golden light flickered in her eyes.

At the moment she opened her divine eyes, her whole body underwent a tremendous change.

Hou Yunjiao couldn't see the golden light flashing in her eyes, but he could sense the indescribable aura emanating from her, as if it were shrouded in a layer of mist, faintly revealing a frightening charm.

Her delicate features were a bit less childish, and a bit more cold-blooded.

The third young master lowered his eyes slightly, and his thin lips lightly pursed.

Qin Ruan carefully probed Hou Yunjiao's aura, but did not detect any hidden darkness in his eyes.

After probing, as before, black mist lurked within the purple aura.

The two were in opposition, destined to either live or die.

Qin Ruan's delicate eyebrows lightly furrowed, and her tone was low. "Third Young Master, the purple aura surrounding you is a supreme and noble destiny. Purple is the symbol of an emperor's appearance. It's just that I don't know whether it was influenced by nature or nurture. The purple aura is tainted with filthy black mist, and the two are intertwined."
