Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Having received such comments from Master Kaley, you can see how impressive Xu Xingguang is.

”Then, would Master Kaley be willing to help me with some promotion when my album is released?”

Master Kaley shook his head and laughed, ”Of course.”

”Xingguang Baby, if you’re not too busy recently, you can stay. I’d be happy to introduce you to my friends who think highly of themselves. I believe your presence will be an eye-opener for them.”

”What do you think, interested?”

Xu Xingguang, being an artist, naturally enjoyed exchanging piano skills with a fellow piano-loving master. ”Alright.”

Xu Xingguang stayed at Master Kaley’s manor. During the day, she helped the farm workers harvest grapes and make wine. She also practiced piano with a little girl named Luo Lisi.

In the evening, Master Kaley would take her to music bars where piano masters loved to gather to watch them exchange piano skills and share insights.

I have to say, being with these people benefited Xu Xingguang greatly.

She stayed for three weeks.

The day she left, the wine she personally made had just finished fermenting. Xu Xingguang only took two bottles with her, one to give to Zhang Zhiyi, and the other she mailed from the international airport to Divine Concealment Island.

After boarding the plane, before switching her phone to flight mode, Xu Xingguang finally opened her WeChat chat box with Huo Wen’an.

Recently, Huo Wen’an has been quite tactful and hasn’t been bothering her every day, but every night around eleven o’clock, he leaves her a goodnight message.

Xu Xingguang never replies.

Xu Xingguang finally sent Huo Wen’an his first message since he returned: [I sent you something, the address is Divine Concealment Island.] Because she’s not sure whether her package can enter Divine Concealment Island.

After sending the message, she closed the network.

Upon receiving the message, Huo Wen’an immediately inquired what exactly Xu Xingguang had sent him, but she didn’t respond.

Still doesn’t want to talk to him?

Seeing Huo Wen’an looking so forlorn, Ye Mingluo shook his head and sighed, ”You’ve fallen, A Zui. Look at you now, are you still that decisive Captain Huo?”

Huo Wen’an leaned against the wheelchair, his face unhealthy and weak under the sunlight.

Ignoring Ye Mingluo’s mockery, Huo Wen’an said, ”Notify the gate on the island, a package from F Country is coming soon, no one is allowed to open it.”

Ye Mingluo got excited hearing there was a package from F Country. ”Is it sent by the master?” He knew Xu Xingguang went to F Country and stayed with an old man for three weeks.

Not only that, but she also hung out with that old man, going to bars every day, enjoying herself thoroughly.

He knew these things; naturally, Huo Wen’an did too.

Nodding, Huo Wen’an said, ”It’s sent to me.”

Ye Mingluo whistled and said, ”Nonsense, maybe it’s sent to me.”

Huo Wen’an mercilessly ridiculed him, ”Can’t find a mirror? Then just pee and look at yourself, with your ugliness, she would send it to you?”

Ye Mingluo angrily threatened him, ”Aren’t you afraid of offending me? I don’t care if you live or die.”

Yet Huo Wen’an said, ”I am your future master-in-law, you must respect your teacher.”

Ye Mingluo cursed under his breath, ”Shameless.”

Just after he finished speaking, Huo Wen’an, sitting in the wheelchair, started coughing violently. Each cough seemed to trigger something within, causing his whole body to shake.

Before Huo Wen’an could pull out his handkerchief, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.

”A Zui!” Ye Mingluo sprinted to catch Huo Wen’an, who almost fell headfirst to the ground.

Seeing Huo Wen’an faint, Ye Mingluo’s expression changed abruptly, ”A Zui, hold on tight. My teacher said that if you can hold on until the disease’s energy is at its weakest, she will save you.”

But Huo Wen’an couldn’t hear a word he said.

As soon as Xu Xingguang returned to Yujiang City, she received a call from Huo Lan.

Huo Lan asked over the phone, ”I heard Mr. Huo fell ill. Has Miss Xu heard the news?” Three months ago, Huo Wen’an fell ill once, almost didn’t survive.

Huo Lan heard that the Huo Family members were privately discussing that Huo Wen’an might really not make it this time, causing them to waver and hesitate about whether to change sides.

But Huo Lan couldn’t forget Xu Xingguang’s words that Huo Wen’an returned home to weed.

He dared not randomly pick sides, fearing being cut down as grass by Huo Wen’an.

But as a member of the Huo Family, it’s impossible for him to be truly uninvolved.
