Chapter 49 Quarrel
As Zhou Heng told the story, Ban You finally understood the specific situation at that time.

According to Zhou Heng, he had indeed gone outside the domain in search of the Sky Fox. Meeting Xue Zhao was a coincidence. At that time, Xue Zhao was being chased by a group of people and was about to be shot by an arrow when he decisively saved her.

But Xue Zhao was extremely ferocious at this time, so he had no choice but to capture him by force and feed him a small amount of knockout drug to make him unconscious before bringing him back.

It's just that the Sky Fox is really precious, and he just needs it, so he has been keeping Xue Zhao captive and not letting it leave.

"But even so, it has the right to go back, doesn't it?"

"I gave it the chance to live, so it should work for me." Zhou Heng said this righteously and firmly. "Miss Ban, since we are quite familiar with each other, I think I need to remind you that the Sky Fox is mine. Only I have the right to decide where it should go and what it should do."

Zhou Heng said this with a cold and serious look in his eyes, leaning forward slightly and staring at Ban You.

Ban You didn't waver, nor did she retreat. She looked straight at Zhou Heng and said in a powerful voice, "Only it can decide what to do and where to go. Neither you nor I can."

"It seems that today is not the time to discuss this matter with Mr. Zhou. I will visit you another day. Goodbye."

Ban You said this and turned to leave, while Zhou Heng looked at her back, his eyes dark and dark with a flash of light.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, with a chill surrounding him.

Duoshao watched Ban You leave and saw Ban You's expressionless face, knowing that something had happened inside. He quickly opened the door and saw his master, who had seen Ban You before, standing there motionless, wondering what he was thinking.

He boldly asked softly, "Master...did you have a fight with Miss Ban?"

Zhou Heng slowly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes filled with a coldness that made Duoshao's heart palpitate.

Duoshao had never seen Zhou Heng like this before. Even when he refused to be crowned king and quarreled with His Majesty, Zhou Heng always looked indifferent and never cared.

After a long while, Zhou Heng finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "You go out first."

"Yes." Although Duoshao was worried about him, he had to obey his master's orders and had to retreat.

Zhou Heng stood there for a long time, his mind was in a mess. One moment he thought of Ban You arguing with her, the next moment he thought of Ban You standing there with a firm face speaking for the woman, and then he thought of her crying, laughing, flattering, acting cute, and so on.

He had no idea that in these few short months, he would pay so much attention to her.

At that moment, Zhou Heng seemed to understand something.

He slowly walked to the window and looked at the bustling crowd outside. Thinking of Ban You's sincere words and firm tone just now, he finally sighed.

On the other side, Ban You, who was sitting in the carriage heading back, had a calm expression and no ripples in his eyes.

She had already figured it out before she came. If Zhou Heng did not agree to let Xue Zhao leave, she would find an opportunity to send Xue Zhao back after Xue Zhao finished Zhou Heng's business.

In short, she will let Xue Zhao go home, back to where her parents are.

But despite the quarrel, Ban You did not forget the important matter.

That night, Ban You took Tuan Tuan to Zuixianlou.

She had thought that after what happened during the day, Zhou Heng would not see her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the third floor, she saw Zhou Heng wearing a long robe with golden patterns, which made him look as gentle as jade, and he looked at her leisurely.

Ban You was still feeling a little embarrassed because of what happened during the day. He coughed lightly and greeted Zhou Heng.

"Good evening, Mr. Zhou."

"Since Miss Ban is here, let's start." Zhou Heng glanced at her with a deep meaning in his eyes that Ban You couldn't understand, but fortunately he didn't say much.

Ban You nodded and walked over to the Jade Buddha, which stared at her with terrifying intensity. Ban You took a deep breath, squatted down, and took Tuantuan out of her arms.

Zhou Heng saw a white furry little creature staring at the jade Buddha with round eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Tuan Tuan did the same as last time, with his paws touching the Jade Buddha and closing his eyes. Then a white light flashed, and then the Jade Buddha emitted a dazzling colorful light.

Before Ban You could block the light, Zhou Heng walked up to her and hugged her with his tall body.

"If you don't want the light to hurt your eyes, just hide in my arms." Zhou Heng's cold voice brought Ban You back to her senses. She buried her head in Zhou Heng's arms and said nothing.

This well-behaved look relieved Zhou Heng's feeling of being blocked.

At least she didn't hate him yet.

After a long time, Zhou Heng still didn't let her get up.

Ban You couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Not ready yet?"

Zhou Heng looked back at the Jade Buddha, which was already bathed in radiant light, and said calmly, "Not yet. Wait a moment."

Ban You said "Oh" and didn't move.

After a while, Zhou Heng looked down at her and said, "Okay."

When Ban You heard this, she quickly pulled herself away from Zhou Heng's arms.

Seeing her urgency, Zhou Heng uttered a "tsk" to express his dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction, which led to death, was unknown to anyone except the person involved.

"Miss Ban, what kind of treasure do you have? It makes this jade Buddha glow with light, as if the real Buddha is here in person."

Dushao and Liu Xian, who witnessed the whole process, were already stunned.

Ban You smiled and shook his head, walked past Zhou Heng, went to the Jade Buddha and held Tuan Tuan in his arms.

"Is this your new pet?" Zhou Heng asked softly when he saw Tuantuan.

However, this ordinary inquiry sounded a bit dangerous to Ban You.

"Well, I just took it out for a walk. It's sleepy now, so we have to go back." Ban You said this because she was very secretive. Duo Shao and Liu Xian were behind her and had no idea how she did it.

Zhou Heng, whose half body was blocked by the jade Buddha, could only see something vaguely, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Zhou Heng looked at her with a half-smile, without exposing her lame excuse.

"Miss Ban, now that this matter is done, don't you want the money anymore?"

"Then please ask Mr. Zhou to find someone to calculate it and send it to You'an Hall." After saying this, Ban You left in a hurry, fearing that Zhou Heng would ask her something else.

"Tsk..." Zhou Heng frowned and looked at Ban You's back with some dissatisfaction.

"Go, ask Li Guan to come over and take a look at this jade Buddha."

"Yes." Duoshao replied.

Not long after, a man with a jade-like face and wearing a moon-white brocade robe followed Duoshao to the third floor.

He stood tall, his black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin, a faint smile on his lips, and a scholarly air lingering around him, making him seem more approachable.

"Your Highness." He bowed.

"Check the value of this jade Buddha."

After Li Guan responded, he walked closer and took a look at the jade Buddha.

As soon as I came up, I noticed the changes in this jade Buddha.

After all, he was the one who had accompanied Zhou Heng to obtain the Jade Buddha, so he knew exactly what it looked like. However, it was truly rare to see the Jade Buddha covered in rosy light.
