Xia Zhibai's expression changed several times. The old man was a smart man, so how could he not know?
He smiled heartily and said to her, "Zhibai, you are a person of sentimental character. You won't hide your intentions. This old man is not a pedantic person. The fact that you can take the initiative to come to Achen means that you have him in your heart."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and when he saw Xia Zhibai looking up at him, his expression gradually returned to its usual calmness, and then he continued:
"He's been busy these days, so he probably doesn't have time to tell you about what's happened recently."
Xia Zhibai was a little surprised. He stared at the old man closely, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Have you found the person who wanted to harm him?"
The old man smiled slightly bitterly. "Yes, it's my unpromising eldest son. He has been relieved of his duties, and my eldest grandson has also been locked up. He has been handling matters at the company these past two days."
I see.
Xia Zhibai sighed in his heart and nodded.
Although the old man said it lightly, there must be dangers that she didn't know about.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have discovered it now.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't allow anyone to hurt him. Xia family girl, you won't blame me for not protecting him before, right?"
Seeing Xia Zhibai remained silent, the old man felt a little uneasy. A family like theirs would always have some internal strife.
He hadn't noticed it before and thought it was a harmonious family life.
But only after being discovered did we realize such a big loophole in our home.
He trusted his son and grandson too much.
But Achen should not be made to bear this sin.
"No. Please take good care of yourself, old man. Achen works so hard just to make you live in peace and comfort."
She understood Mo Nanfeng's thoughts. He had thought he was going to die before, so he let go of family affairs.
But he didn't expect that those people wanted him dead and had no intention of giving him a chance to live.
"grandfather."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was Mo Nanfeng.
His voice was still pleasant and gentle, but when it fell into Xia Zhibai's ears, his heart began to beat wildly with nervousness.
"Come in, Zhibai has been here for a while and has been chatting with an old man like me. You young people, go out for a walk."
Mo Nanfeng pushed the door open and saw Xia Zhibai sitting upright at a glance.
His eyes swept over gently and fell on Mr. Mo. Finally, he nodded, said "hmm" softly, and walked out with Xia Zhibai.
He took Xia Zhibai's hand and walked in the back garden.
Roses climbed all over the arched trellis, and the pleasant fragrance filled the entire garden.
The two walked slowly, shoulder to shoulder, fingers interlocked.
Perhaps because they were both practicing Xuan cultivation, they didn't feel hot in September.
Just a quickening of the heartbeat.
Xia Zhibai's nose was filled with his fresh and pleasant scent, which overwhelmed the fragrance of the flowers.
"Zhibai." After walking for more than ten minutes, Mo Nanfeng broke the silence and called her softly.
For some reason, Xia Zhibai felt that the name he called her sounded very nice, as if it was a spell that bewitched her, bewitching her pounding heart.
Her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head slightly and said "hmm", glanced at the interlocked hands from the corner of her eyes, and whispered: "Do you feel tired dealing with this kind of thing happening in your family?"
In fact, she was not very good at talking to Mo Nanfeng about company matters, but suddenly, she felt like saying something. After all, being backstabbed by family members would be more painful than being schemed against by outsiders.
After Xia Zhibai finished speaking, he looked up at him.
She happened to bump into Mo Nanfeng lowering his head, and their eyes met. His eyes were deep, full of affection and tenderness, like a deep pool that seemed to suck her in.
She unconsciously tightened her grip, but found that it was his hand she was holding, and quickly tried to pull it back to hide her panic.
What happened just now?
That look from him made her feel inexplicably weak all over.
"Not tired. With Zhibai's words, nothing will be tiring." Mo Nanfeng stopped, took her hand, held it tightly with both hands, raised it to his lips, and gave her a deep kiss.
Xia Zhibai only felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand, which then spread throughout his body.
She suppressed the strange trembling of her body, pursed her lips, and saw the smile in his eyes growing deeper and deeper. She quickly turned her head and looked at the roses in full bloom in the distance.
What was she thinking just now?
Thinking of his beautiful eyes and those warm thin lips...
When she thought of this, she quickly recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra in her mind. After her emotions calmed down a little, she coughed lightly and put her hand down.
This time, Mo Nanfeng didn't hold on tightly. He loosened one hand and interlocked their fingers again.
The slightly raised corners of his lips showed that he was in a very good mood, but the dark circles under his eyes showed that he had not slept enough and had not rested enough in recent days.
"The matter on the high seas has been settled. Wuliang and Xiaojiang are your men, right?"
After Xia Zhibai saw the purple energy in his body, he guessed that these two people were arranged by Mo Nanfeng.
Mo Nanfeng didn't want to hide it anymore, so he nodded and said, "When I returned to the imperial capital, I went to a place and subdued them there."
He said it lightly, but Xia Zhibai knew what he meant.
He met his chance.
So, does he know that he is the Emperor of the Underworld?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at him again, with a hint of inquiry in her clear eyes.
Mo Nanfeng looked into her eyes and nodded: "I know my identity, thank you."
Whether it is now or three thousand years ago.
If she hadn't taken his things away that time, he might not have woken up until now.
