Chapter 60: I asked you to take good care of her, and this is how you do it?
The Xie family has strict rules and the servants are very tight-lipped. Without permission, they will never reveal the affairs of the Xie family to outsiders, from big things like whether the family is planning something recently to small things like the whereabouts of the masters and even the servants in the family.
Therefore, it is very difficult to find out anything about the Xie family.
Li Xun's men followed various clues and could only find out that Qingqing had entered the Xie family and was now called Xie Yanyu.
I can’t find out more than that.
So now,
Li Xun pinched his right ring finger intermittently and asked his subordinates what she looked like now. The subordinates could not answer. He asked them how she was doing now, and the subordinates could not answer either. He asked some other trivial questions about her, and the subordinates knew nothing at all.
Li Xun was so angry that he laughed.
He had been sitting quietly, but now he stretched out his leg and kicked over the small table in front of him. "You don't know anything when I ask you. What's the point of keeping you here?"
Things on the table crashed to the ground.
The subordinate was as quiet as a chicken and didn't dare to speak.
He never expected that Li Xun would ask such a long list of questions!
He knew that Li Xun wanted to find this girl and had been looking for her all these years, but who would have thought that now that he had found the whereabouts of the girl, Li Xun did not ask about the girl's whereabouts in the first few sentences. Instead, he asked a bunch of irrelevant questions, such as how she had been living over the years and what hardships she had suffered. How could they know this?
The subordinates were becoming increasingly confused, not knowing what the relationship between their master and that girl was.
If you say there is any gratitude or resentment, it doesn’t seem like gratitude, but if you say there is resentment, it doesn’t seem like that either.
It was quiet for a while.
He then whispered an apology: "I didn't know the master would be so concerned about these issues, so I only tried my best to find out her whereabouts and whereabouts."
As soon as these words fell,
Instead, Li Xun was quiet for a moment, then he frowned, as if he wanted to refute something.
But on the other hand, there is nothing to refute this statement.
So what if he cares about these issues? She made him go through a dark period, so it's understandable that he wants to know whether she is living a good life or not. It would be best if she is living a very bad life, stuck in the mud, unable to live or die, and regretting selling him out.
Li Xun pinched his finger again: "Really? You found out about her whereabouts? So what's her whereabouts like?"
The subordinate said, "The Xie family's servants are very tight-lipped and won't reveal the whereabouts of the Xie family members, but I've heard from the people in the market that even though the Xie family's masters are very low-key when traveling, the common people have seen them a few times. But this Miss Xie, oh, Miss Qingqing, almost no one has seen her. She probably doesn't go out much and stays in the Xie Mansion for a long time. So if you want to find her, just go directly to the Xie family."
"Well," Li Xun stood up: "Let's go."
The subordinate didn't react: "Huh? What for?"
Li Xun said with a forced smile: "What are you doing? Go find someone. What do you want to do?"
The subordinates then realized that Li Xun was going to look for that girl.
After all, the girl is now a member of the Xie family. The Xie family has strict rules and does not have a close relationship with the Tianjian Sect. He thought that when Li Xun came to their house, he would at least be prepared and write a visiting card. However, Li Xun stood up and prepared to leave. This was too fast.
"Are we really leaving now?" the servant hesitated. "Didn't the blind girl tell you to wait for her here? She still has the jade token. What if she gets upset and doesn't want to give it to you?"
"Wait for her obediently?" Li Xun laughed and said, "You're dreaming."
He's not stupid.
What was he waiting for her here for? Waiting for her to continue to beat him to death?
He was no longer prepared to stay in this inn and continue dealing with her. He would first go to Qingqing to get the engagement jade pendant back. Then when he saw the blind man, his spiritual power would not surge, and the blind man would not be able to defeat him. Wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for him to snatch the jade pendant from her?
Li Xun had never cared about the blind man's name. He got angry just thinking about her, and didn't want to mention her. He still called her "blind man" until now. He kicked the subordinate and said, "Who cares about her? Let's go to Xie's house."

The other side.
Chen Lang took Xie Yanyu on a boat back to the shore.
Xie Chengjin was already waiting in the carriage.
He was responsible for repairing all the mazes under the water. Those mazes were all in the outer circle, far away from the large formation that sealed the demon world, so he would not meet Helan Wei and the others in the middle.
Although the task was tedious, it was not complicated, so he finished repairing it all early and returned to shore.
He sat in the car and waited for a while before he heard the sound of a boat coming over.
When he lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, he saw the attendant and Xie Yanyu coming in the boat, but Helan was in danger on the boat.
He just opened his mouth to ask, but the next second, he saw the boat approaching the shore, and the attendant directly carried Xie Yanyu off the boat -
I was going to hold her horizontally, so the postures were inevitably intimate.
When the servant bent down and put his hands behind her waist, Xie Chengjin felt an inexplicable rage rising in his heart.
Then the servant picked her up, and Xie Chengjin found that she had fainted with her head hanging down. His anger burned even more fiercely, burning so much that his heart felt inexplicably tight, and the veins on his forehead jumped:
"I told you to take good care of her, and this is how you took care of her? You took care of her until she fainted?"
Xie Chengjin's tone was cold.
Shen Lang looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Xie Chengjin lower the curtain of the car, then got out of the car and walked over.
He had clearly been avoiding her in the morning, even taking a separate car. But now he lowered his eyelashes, looked her up and down inconspicuously, then pinched her wrist and used his spiritual power to check her physical condition.
Although he still had a cold face and expressionless expression as always, and his movements did not show any urgency,
But that's not right.
Xie Chengjin's attitude towards Xie Yanyu is wrong.
In his previous life, Xie Chengjin had no family affection for Xie Yanyu, even though they were step-siblings, but in Xie Chengjin's eyes, Xie Yanyu was no different from any other flowers and plants around him. She fled to the demon world, and after the war between humans and demons broke out, Xie Chengjin treated her and other demons equally and did not hold back on her at all.
But now…
Chen Lang looked at Xie Chengjin, and his vigilance towards this man finally reached its peak. His eyes even turned into the vertical pupils of a snake for a moment. He wanted to attack Xie Chengjin, but quickly suppressed the idea. He still needed to use this identity as a guard to stay by Xie Yanyu's side.
Then he lowered his eyes again and admitted his fault: "My subordinates did not do their job well."
Xie Chengjin didn't say anything.
His attention was focused on Xie Yanyu, and he didn't notice the changes in Shen Lang's pupils at all. He first used his spiritual power to travel around Xie Yanyu's body, and after finding that she was not seriously injured, the anger in his heart dissipated a little, giving him the energy to pay attention to other things.
It was at this moment that he realized that his fingertips were pressing on her skin and touching her.
So the fire in my heart seemed to move to another place and continue burning.
His fingertips twitched as if they were burned.
Then, with a cold expression, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. He had originally wanted to take Xie Yanyu from the attendant's arms and carry her back to the carriage himself, but at this moment, this thought was suppressed. He just asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Lang looked troubled.
After a while, he still whispered: "When I was accompanying the young lady to look for the jade pendant, the young lady received a message from Master Helan."
As soon as these words fell,
Xie Chengjin's expression became even colder.
Seeing his expression, Chen Lang lowered his eyes again, silently curled his lips, and pushed all the blame onto Helan Wei, saying half-truthfully, "Young Master Helan is at the seal formation in the demon world, and he asked Miss to go find him. Perhaps because Young Master Helan's status is too high, Miss couldn't refuse, so after some hesitation, she decided to go."
"But the young lady's cultivation is limited, and there is a poisonous miasma in the formation," he said with a helpless expression. "I couldn't bear to see the young lady walk into the poisonous miasma, but I couldn't persuade her either. So I could only use some spiritual power to make the young lady unconscious for a while, and then brought her back."
"Didn't she meet Helan Wei?"
"...Although I didn't want the young lady to be poisoned, my actions did prevent them from meeting. Was that wrong?"
Shen Lang asked back calmly, his expression very calm, as if he was asking seriously.
Xie Chengjin did not respond immediately.
In fact, he had intended to relax his control over Xie Yanyu. After all, she herself had said that she did not like Helan Wei and even rejected the proposal of marrying Helan Wei. In this case, she would not do the same things she did in the past, such as drugging Helan Wei or trying every means to get into Helan Wei's bed.
Without the risk of ruining the family's reputation, no matter from which angle he looked at it, he had no reason to keep an eye on her like before, and he should not deliberately prevent her from meeting Helan Wei normally.
Now the servant asked him if he had done something wrong.
Xie Chengjin looked at him twice with an expressionless face.
But after a while, he said, "You did the right thing."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang, although he wanted to tear Xie Chengjin apart, smiled. "Young Master is very busy. He will probably have many things to deal with after returning to the Xie Mansion. He won't be able to look after the young lady all the time. Since you have instructed me to look after her, do you want me to follow the young lady and continue to look after her like this in the future?"
"...I will not allow anyone strange to get close to her, and I will also regularly report the young lady's recent situation to you, sir."
*
When Xie Yanyu woke up, he found himself lying in the inn.
She must have fainted before, and then was taken out by the guard and brought back to the inn.
She slowed down, then propped herself up and got up from the bed.
She has already received the engagement jade pendant,
Without further ado,
She can go find Li Xun now.
So she quickly got dressed and pushed the door open to go out.
But just as I opened the door,
Then he saw the servant standing guard outside the door.
See her come out,
Shen Lang also looked up at her, his brows soft and smiling: "Miss, are you awake?"
It was obvious that Shen Lang had been watching her in the room before she woke up. He only went out and pretended to be waiting outside when he realized that she was about to wake up. However, he was only out for a short while, but Shen Lang felt as if he hadn't seen her for a long time.
He was extremely anxious and even wanted to smash something to ease his anxiety. It was not until he saw her that he felt a sour and pleasant feeling in his heart.
It seems like I can never get enough of looking at her.
He half wanted to dig out his eyeballs and coax her into eating them, or stick them on her body so that he could keep looking at her, all the time.
Now he looked at her, his eyes fixed on her, his amber eyes somewhat darkened;
But his eyes were gentle and you couldn't tell that his thoughts were so extreme.
He asked, "Are you ready to go out? I'll accompany you."
Xie Yanyu originally thought that this servant was only here to accompany her to look for the jade pendant, but she didn't expect that he was still here.
She was a little surprised, so she didn't answer him, but asked, "Why are you still here?"
After these words fell,
Shen Lang smiled meekly: "Because..."
Having said this, he paused, as if choosing his words, raised his hand to help her straighten her collar, then withdrew his hand very measuredly, and then said gently: "Because the young master wants me to take care of you for a while."
