Yang An's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Returning from collecting poisonous insects outside the manor, Xiao Yuchuan also walked in from outside the door. "Yang An, did you think this Valley Master would still trust you?" His expression was tinged with sorrow. "Originally, I always valued you highly. But you disregarded this Valley Master's painstaking efforts for the sake of a woman. When Wei Qingyi died, I could have killed you outright. Fearful of misjudging your loyalty, I only had you test poisons. If you performed well in the future, you... would still die."
Xiao Yuchuan's eyes fixed firmly on Su Qingyue. "No one can harm you. I won't let any threat to you live. Seeing you bored in the valley, I found you some amusement. Did you enjoy today's performance?"
"Yes." She nodded. "The sight of flesh and blood is indeed special."
"Shall I scrape off the rest of the flesh on his body?" His eyes were filled with affection.
"No need."
