Jin Xuhe, he was just too concerned about family ties before, and was blinded by them. But that doesn't mean he's a fool. He's busy with business and even has the nickname "Golden Fox".
Doesn't such a person know that the little girl next to him is deliberately showing kindness to her for ulterior motives?
At first, he thought they were after his resources. After all, even if he fell into trouble, he still had some connections.
Later, after eating the buns, the man didn't mention anything, but instead kept complimenting his appearance. Was he coveting his beauty? He had always had plenty of crazy admirers around him. The kind who weren't after money, but only the person.
Wait, this girl clearly didn't say anything, how did he hear her voice? Could he hear her thoughts?
Jin Xuhe pretended to eat a bun while secretly glancing at Yan Miaoling's mouth...
Sure enough, a familiar voice echoed in my ears again. "A war is about to break out at the border. The grain business should be the most profitable right now. With Jin Xuhe's intelligence, he'll definitely spot this opportunity, right? And since he's a close friend of the God of War, there's no way he wouldn't have some inside information, right?"
These words finally made Jin Xuhe certain that he could hear the girl's voice.
But what intrigued him even more was who she was, and how she knew a battle was imminent at the border. Honestly, even Xuanyuan Mingchen, the man who had lured the enemy troops here, couldn't guarantee they would arrive. How could she be so sure?
Like Xuanyuan Mingchen, Jin Xuhe initially suspected Yan Miaoling of being a spy from the enemy nation. Wanting to reassure her first, he became much more enthusiastic. After finishing his buns, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yan Miaoling pointed at him and asked, "Your face..." Is it poisoned? He didn't answer yet.
"Oh, to be honest, I was indeed poisoned. I was just about to go find Bai Muchen to check it out."
Well, that blocked her path. She had originally wanted to say that if she didn't know him, she could introduce him. But then she thought about it, they were all from the Xuanyuan Mingchen sect, so how could they not know each other?
"Ling'er!" Just as she was in a daze, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
They both looked up at the same time. Jin Xuhe was extremely excited and stepped forward. "Mu Chen, how did you find yourself here? Did you come to see me? Did you know I was in trouble? You're so kind. It's true that a friend in need is a friend indeed..."
As he spoke, he hugged Bai Muchen tightly. His talkative and funny personality was completely different from his cold and defensive attitude towards Yan Miaoling.
Who knew that Bai Muchen was "unromantic" and only had eyes for Yan Miaoling. "Ling'er, are you homeless? Why don't you come back with me?"
...
A quarter of an hour later, in Bai Muchen's third courtyard, in the dining room.
Yan Miaoling and Jin Xuhe, like refugees, devoured the delicious food and wine on the table...
While eating, Yan Miaoling praised the food endlessly, "Doctor Bai, your chef's cooking skills are really good!"
Jin Xuhe, "Being a doctor is indeed a lucrative profession. Look at your luxurious house, with servants filing in one after another. Wow, it's really enviable..."
Bai Muchen's face didn't show much expression in response to their compliments, but his heart was filled with joy. He quickly got into character, and when he saw Yan Miaoling almost choked, he quickly helped her calm down and offered her some water, "Eat slowly, there's plenty to eat and no one's going to snatch it from you!"
"Okay, thank you Doctor Bai! Don't worry, I will pay you back when I make money in the future! I won't eat your food for free!" Yan Miaoling is not a person who is willing to take advantage of others, even if the other party claims to be her friend.
She and Jin Xuhe had quite a few common interests and hobbies, and when there was only one chicken leg left, they both reached out their claws at the same time...
"Mine!" This is a pure free-range chicken, the chicken legs are firm and full of gelatin, Yan Miaoling really thinks it tastes delicious.
"I reached out my hand first!" Jin Xuhe saw the little girl's true face and thought she was so pretty that he couldn't help but want to tease her and deliberately didn't let her have her way.
He has been living a life of luxury since he was a child, and there is no shortage of delicious food he has not seen!
Bai Muchen was annoyed by the heartwarming interaction. "Alright, Jin Xuhe! Hurry up and finish your meal and get out of here. I don't want to keep idle people here!"
Jin Xuhe was not happy. "No way, you know I've been kicked out and have no home. Please take me in for a few days. At least wait until I can start my own business before kicking me out..."
"Can't Xuanyuan Mingchen live there?"
Jin Xuhe spread his hands and said, "Do you want the emperor to know my relationship with him?" Someone with military power being close to the son of the richest man would only make the emperor more suspicious.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Let him stay here first. He's poisoned anyway, so it's only natural for him to be detoxified here. No one will suspect anything."
Yan Miaoling looked up. Holy shit, isn't that Xuanyuan Mingchen? Why is he here? She didn't know why, but she just didn't want to be with him. She stood up and said, "Doctor Bai, thank you for your hospitality. See you later!"
She hurried out, but was stopped by the man's long legs. "Why, you want to leave as soon as you see me? Are you feeling guilty?"
At this time, the system notified, "Killer, killer, the killer male protagonist has appeared. Hurry and go to No. 48, turn left on Central Street. He is seriously injured and hiding in that corner door. If you don't rescue him, his life may be in danger!"
"Damn it, why did you tell me this only when it's so urgent? Does the mission only complete if the heroine goes to rescue him?"
The system added, "Oh yes, the heroine needs to take action to make the killer grateful and follow her closely from now on..." Yan Miaoling no longer had time to listen to anything else, so she went to the clinic to kidnap people first!
Who knew that Xuanyuan Mingchen would start a fight with her. If she went left, he would go left; if she went right, he would go right...
Finally, she was so anxious that she had no choice but to turn around and ask Bai Muchen for help...
Compared to the cold-faced prince, this half-milk, half-wolf miracle doctor is much easier to talk to...
"Doctor Bai, I have something urgent to discuss with our young lady. Could you please talk to the prince and ask him to let me go?"
Bai Muchen heard that she had run away from home that morning, and that her apprentice sister was listless, so he thought that the master and servant had a quarrel. Now that the little girl knew to go back to her old master, she probably realized her mistake and wanted to turn back.
Looking at his eyes, he seemed to be about to cry with anxiety.
After being praised, he felt relieved and decided to help her. He whispered to Xuanyuan Mingchen, "Your Highness, I plan to marry her. Could you please be so kind as to help her?" Marrying, for people of their high status and many minds, is very intriguing.
Keeping danger close to home is far wiser than letting it wander freely. Marrying someone is one of those options. Xuanyuan Mingchen didn't try to stop her and let Yan Miaoling pass...
After Yan Miaoling left, Jin Xuhe spoke quickly, "Hey, what's the origin of this little girl? Why is she worthy of your attention?"
The three men were good friends, so they had nothing to hide. They sat down to eat and chat...
In the end, no one confessed to being able to hear the maid's thoughts. They just shared their suspicions. It was Jin Xuhe who concluded, "So, she's most likely a spy from the enemy country. You just haven't figured out what she's up to yet, right?"
