Zhao Yichen knew something was wrong when Butler Lu came. The butler served him and Gu Liuxian refreshments and told them that he'd never seen Shen Minyao at all. Gu Liuxian assumed that she might have gone to the restroom instead. Knowing the fox demoness, Zhao Yichen figured something might have caught her attention, and she decided to look into it.
It was for this reason that he excused himself from his butler and his friend, to look for Shen Minyao. Imagine his surprise when he found her on the rooftop with the flower fairy he'd seen over the weekend. Shen Minyao had even unleashed a sword he'd never seen before, intending to end the life of Yulan, who looked so different from the last time she'd shown up.
"Stop," he repeated. "Please don't kill her, Shen Minyao."
If he wanted to help Gu Liuxian, he needed to save Yulan from the threat of the fox woman's blade first.
