Chapter 117: Slipping in tea
*************************************************************************************************

‘Am I really meeting with the Luo family head and its members?’ Duan Jia Xu thought while peeking at the Luo family elders.

“No!” Qin Qiu immediately spoke up. He turned to look at Luo Huian and said to her, “How can he be your bodyguard? He is an S rank and he obviously belongs to my daughter’s guild. It’s really, really selfish of you to keep him all to yourself, Little An.”

“What do you mean by selfish? What the hell do you mean by selfish?” Ye Shun had enough of the nonsense that Qin Qiu was used to speaking just because their wife doted on them.

He raised his brows and turned to face Qin Qiu squarely. In fact, if he wasn’t raised as a gentle and kind mer, he would have thrown his fists at Qin Qiu. Ye Shun was that angry!

“My daughter saved him from death bed, she was also the one who helped him when he needed it the most and now you are telling her that she is selfish for keeping this mer as her bodyguard?”

“Is she the one who is selfish or is it you, who is selfish?” Ye Shun questioned with his face turning purple.

“You are misunderstanding me and completely missing the point! Brother Shun, what I meant to say was that Master Duan has awakened as an S rank hunter, he can certainly do something great.”

“With his strength, he should be protecting the commoners who have no one to protect them. Little An is still powerful, she can obviously deal with trouble herself.”

“So why should we limit Master Duan by making him Little An’s bodyguard? Is it not unjust to him and the civilians?”

“You…”

“Did you not hear what I said?” Luo Huian was speechless. She could not believe it, she was the one who went through all the song and dance, and yet Qin Qiu was now trying to snatch Duan Jia Xu from her. This was simply too much.

“I said that he agreed to sign a contract with me! Which means that he works under me!”

“And that’s the very reason I said that you are being selfish,” Qin Qiu repeated his nonsensical statement shrilly.

Luo Huian who really could not deal with the bullshit of this mer as well as Luo Qingling sat uptight. She raised her fist and said, “Come here, I will help you understand since it is so difficult for your thick skull to get what I am saying you old fart.”

“Huian!”

“What! Just because I showed you respect for two seconds you think you can tap dance on my head? Old hag, I am telling you—— don’t try to snatch my bodyguard! I went through hell to get him!”

She was not lying. Duan Jia Xu was really difficult to win over and she was nearly going crazy when she thought of how this mer almost escaped her grasp last night.

After doing all that work, would she let someone snatch him? No way!

Luo Yeqing nearly had another heart attack when she heard Luo Huian call her an old hag again. She thought that her daughter was getting better but it seemed like she addressed others according to her mood.

Qin Qiu, who was called an old fart, was even more upset than Luo Yeqing.

He knew that Luo Huian had little to no respect when it came to him but this was still too much!

How dare she call him such awful names? No matter what, he was her elder.

Thus, Qin Qiu who wished to teach a lesson to Luo Huian, stubbornly insisted,

“Little An, it seems that because your memories are in a mess you seem to have forgotten. S rank hunters are not the possession of someone but a guild, which means that Master Duan will be working under your sister and not you.”

“There is a limit to how selfish you could be but I beg you to leave Ling Ling alone.”

Luo Huian was speechless. What was this skill called? Cinnamon tea? No chamomile tea?

“How in the world do you remember chamomile and cinnamon but not green? This is called green tea,” Xiao Hei said to the girl in an exasperated voice. He simply could not fathom how Luo Huian’s head worked sometimes.

Luo Huian ignored him. Instead, she turned her entire focus on Qin Qiu and asked, “Old fart, tell me something. If you were to go to a shop and pay for a pair of shoes and return with it to the Luo family, to whom the shoes belong?”

“Me?” Qin Qiu replied with a frown while looking at Luo Huian with an expression that vividly said that she had gone crazy.

“No! It belongs to the head of the Luo family,” Luo Huian rolled her eyes and explained, “By your logic, even though I was the one who worked hard to look for Duan Jia Xu, he belongs to the guild.”

“Then of course, in case you purchase a pair of shoes it doesn’t change anything. Because the money belonged to the Luo family, right? Then ultimately everything that you owe belongs to the Luo family and Mister Ye.”

“What kind of nonsensical logic is that?”

Luo Huian sneered and said, “The same kind of logic that you are applying. I placed my life on the risk to find this mer and now you want to tell me that I need to give him up. Are you barking mad?”

“Huian!” Luo Yeqing tried to calm down her daughter who simply snorted and looked away, evidently, she did not wish to talk to Luo Yeqing.

Duan Jia Xu looked at the members of the Luo family who were fighting because of him and cleared his throat.

Everyone turned to look at him causing Duan Jia Xu to stiffen slightly. However, he somehow managed to summon his courage and stated, “I—— I would like to stay with Miss Huian, after all, she was the one who helped me.”

His words were nothing less than a verbal slap on the face of Qin Qiu whose face started working furiously when he saw how smug Luo Huian looked.

At first glance, it seemed like he was going to explode but then ——
