"Take a look at Zizi too," Su Jinxia reminded Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded and said to Mai Zizi and Shen Xi, "Then let's go downstairs. You two have been traveling for days and you're not clean, so don't stay here."
Shen Xi's expression darkened slightly, and he said calmly, "You two go down first. I need to say a few words to Su Jin."
Lu Ming glanced at Shen Xi with slight dissatisfaction, but knowing that he was going to talk to Su Jin about serious matters, he could only tell him to hurry up and then went downstairs with Mai Zizi.
Su Jin was so tired from lying down to look at people that she sat up, wrapped in the blanket.
Chen Xi didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
Why is the Liuli Society hunting you down? Who exactly are you?
Su Jin lowered her eyes and looked down, her gaze fixed on the blanket.
"Where is Shen Qianxue? Let him ask me."
Shen Xi looked at Su Jinxia, who had a stubborn and unyielding look on his face, and said coldly, "Young Master is too busy to come back. It's the same if you tell me. I will report to him myself."
Su Jin took a deep breath, not wanting to deal with Shen Xi. She pulled at the blanket with her small hands and said impatiently, "I just told him that if he doesn't come, he shouldn't bother me."
Shen Xi gritted her teeth, her anger rising as well. "Su Jinxia, don't be ungrateful. You taking the initiative to say it and me finding out are two different things... I'm giving you a chance!"
"Then go and investigate!" Su Jin's expression turned cold.
Shen Xi clenched his fists, somewhat at a loss with Su Jin.
As long as Shen Qianxue doesn't say anything, who in Phoenix Pavilion would dare to do anything to Su Jin?
He frowned, his tone solemn, "It's obvious that your identity is different. If it weren't for the young master protecting you, you would have been questioned in the Fourth Team's interrogation hall long ago."
"So what? Are you going to take me to the fourth interrogation room now?" Su Jin raised her eyes, her gaze sharp as a knife as she stared at Chen Xi.
Shen Xi… that’s not what he meant.
"What I'm saying is, the young master is so good to you, please don't hurt him anymore. He lost his mother and father when he was young, he's not as strong as you think."
"The more he indulges you, the more it shows that he loves you. Have you ever thought about what he will do the day you let him down?"
"Don't you have a heart?!"
In Shen Xi's view, Su Jinxia's refusal to reveal her secret must be because her purpose conflicts with Phoenix Pavilion's or even the Prince's grand ambition of ruling the world.
That conflict will inevitably erupt one day.
Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue cannot continue to get along in this muddle-headed way.
If you don't speak up, and I don't speak up, it seems like there's really no conflict.
But how could that be!
The longer it drags on, the deeper the damage will be!
Therefore, Shen Xi thought that while Shen Qianxue was away, she should force Su Jin to clarify the matter or handle it in a way that would cause the least harm to Shen Qianxue.
However, Su Jin was a stubborn person. Even though Shen Xi had said so much, she didn't say a word and didn't even raise her eyebrows.
"Su Jinxia, I really misjudged you." Shen Xi looked away in disappointment.
Su Jin lowered her eyes, concealing the turbulent emotions within them, and spoke coldly.
“This is between him and me. You don’t understand. Don’t meddle in my business.”
“I know exactly what I’m doing, and I don’t need you to lecture me.”
"Please leave."
"You!" Shen Xi was furious at Su Jin's attitude. She took a few steps forward, sword in hand, glaring at him angrily. "If you won't tell me, then I'll investigate myself. I want to see how long you can keep this a secret!"
Su Jinxia looked at the sword sheath lying in front of her, her face darkening. She laughed angrily, "Even if your master came, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me. You? You think I can't handle you!"
"Zizi!" Su Jin shouted downstairs.
Upon hearing this, Mai Zizi rushed over and saw Shen Xi holding a sword to Su Jin's neck. Although the sword was not drawn, the tense atmosphere was enough to make one tremble with fear.
She strode up to Su Jinxia, slapped Shen Xi's sword away, and glared at Shen Xi, "What are you doing?"
Su Jin's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She hid behind Mai Zizi, sniffed, and said, "Chen Xi scolded me and even tried to hit me. I was so angry that my wound felt like it was going to burst open."
Shen Xi... was stunned!
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mai Zizi kicked Shen Xi in the knee, her eyes red with anger. "Do you have any conscience? She just got so badly injured saving me, and you're going to hit and scold her? I think you're the one who should be hit!"
With that, Mai Zizi used both her hands and feet to punch and kick Chen Xi, chasing him to the stairwell. "Go quickly, go find your young master, and don't bother us."
Shen Xi was speechless and could only passively take the beating, showing no anger even after being punched in the chin.
It's true what they say, one thing can subdue another!
Su Jin wrapped herself tighter in the blanket, thoroughly enjoying the sight.
After chasing Shen Xi away, Mai Zizi went back to wash up and then came to Tingyu Tower to accompany and take care of Su Jinxia.
Furthermore, he squeezed into the same bed with Su Jin.
To this, Su Jinxia really wanted to say: There's absolutely no need!
However, the passion was irresistible.
Su Jinxia successfully went from being managed by two people to being managed by three people.
Recently, as the weather has turned cooler, Tingyulou has started heating, making the whole building cozy.
"Why are you carving this broken piece of wood?" Mai Zizi went upstairs, walked up to Su Jin, snatched the wood from her hand, and threw it aside.
"Lu Ming said your back injury has improved, and you can get out of bed and move around more. You can't stay in bed all the time. Come on, let me help you walk around."
Su Jin down...
Mai Zizi seemed to have said just yesterday that she couldn't get out of bed and needed to rest more.
