Chapter 1985 - The Battle XXXVII

Chapter 1985: The Battle XXXVII

Xia Xia curled up, her head on her knees, and her voice was filled with despair.
Qiu Hui’s heart ached, and she felt her anger surging.
She stood up from the ground and looked at Nan Luo angrily.
Boom!
She punched Nan Luo in the chest, sending her flying away.
“Who asked you to come for Xia Xia?” she growled.
She had promised Feng Ruqing that she would take care of Xia Xia.
However, she was weak, and she had failed to protect Xia Xia. She could only take Xia Xia and hide in Nine Gate.
Even though the Nan family had been defeated, and Nan Fang had died, she still did not take Xia Xia back…
She was afraid that people outside would say something that might make Xia Xia sad.
She thought that by placing her in Nine Gate, no one would say much in front of her.
However, she was too negligent in letting someone sneak in to tell all these things to Xia Xia…
Xia Xia was still young. How could she bear such grief?
“I…”
Nan Luo panicked and took a few steps back.
She was now Hui Yan’s daughter, so she did not think that Qiu Hui, who was also a member of Nine Gate, would even make a move against her.
“I just…”
She bit her lip hard, wanting to explain to them.
However, Qiu Hui did not give her a chance to explain; she rushed toward her and slapped her face viciously.
Blood flowed from the corner of Nan Luo’s mouth. She began to panic as she looked at the furious Qiu Hui.
Bang!
Qiu Hui kicked her hard, and she fell to the ground helplessly; her hair became messy, and she looked so pitiful.
“Stop!”
Just as Qiu Hui was about to continue, an angry voice came from up ahead…
Nan Luo was relieved after hearing this voice. She looked up joyfully, looking at the old man coming to her.
“Father, save me! Venerable Qiu Hui wants to beat me to death.”
The old man was furious, and he looked at Qiu Hui fiercely while gritting his teeth. “What the hell are you trying to do? Why are you doing this to my daughter!”
At this moment, the other venerable members also came in with a puzzled expression to see what had happened.
However, when they saw Nan Luo, they were even more puzzled.
“Venerable Hui Yan, why did your daughter come here? We’ve promised Qiu Hui that we would give her full authority to take care of Nan Chiyou. Except for some venerable members who came to visit Nan Chiyou, no one else was allowed to come here. Did you plan to snatch Nan Chiyou from Qiu Hui? But this little girl will not listen to you either.”
They wanted Nan Chiyou to become the Holy Maiden of Nine Gate. If they made this already bad-tempered little girl angry, they were afraid that Nine Gate would lose her again.
That was why they had agreed to these requests from Qiu Hui.
After all, Qiu Hui was familiar with Nan Chiyou, and she was the only one who could take care of her!
Hui Yan looked somewhat embarrassed. “No, I didn’t…”
“Then, why is she here?”
They continued to ask.
Why was his daughter here? Hui Yan himself could not answer, but when he saw the injuries on Nan Luo’s body, the anger he had just suppressed surged again.
“I don’t care why my daughter is here. Venerable Qiu Hui has hurt a weak little girl. Are you not afraid if others were to know about this? I must punish you today!”
