Chapter 71: Multiple Crimes



Bai Xiaofei was still standing there in a daze.

Next second.

Then Zhang Xiaoxiao quietly pulled out the chair next to her and gestured to Bai Xiaofei at the same time.

"Stop standing there like an idiot. Sit down!"

Bai Xiaofei met Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression which was completely different from the way she treated him.

I was at a loss for a moment.

"Ah... this is..."

He didn't know what to answer, so he just sat down next to Zhang Xiaoxiao at her gesture.

Zhang Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and cast her murderous gaze on the Great Elder.

"Since you didn't mean to overstep your bounds, then what's the matter with your previous behavior of favoring one over the other? Or are you trying to lie to me? You're saying it wasn't intentional because you didn't think that much!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao did not suggest breaking up the relationship between the two of them at all, and sneered sarcastically.

The other party's inner thoughts were obviously exposed by Zhang Xiaoxiao. He was shaking wildly and did not dare to reply.

"If I remember correctly, you have inherited the precognitive skills of the Ximen family. You have already predicted my identity, Bai Xiaofei's identity, and the identity of your own granddaughter, Ximen Zhenzi. Can I understand your attitude towards me as..."

"You have long guessed that I will not wake up so soon, so you think that in this situation, you can do whatever you want, and temporarily protect your own granddaughter, so that her ability can be trained to surpass mine. I wonder if my guess is correct?"

The Great Elder's inner thoughts were exposed in an instant.

His whole body was shaking like a sieve.

Bai Xiaofei suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his hand, and took a quick step to stand in front of Zhang Xiaoxiao and the Great Elder.

He didn't know if he had seen it wrong.

He always vaguely felt that there seemed to be a flash of orange light in Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Even if Zhang Xiaoxiao tried desperately to hide, she couldn't stop Bai Xiaofei from noticing it.

She tried hard to smile and asked Bai Xiaofei outside, acting as if she was pretending to be a spoiled child.

Even though Bai Xiaofei felt something was wrong, he just tried to stay calm and reminded with a smile: "Xiaoxiao! No matter what conflict you have with him? He asked us to come here this time because he had something urgent to inform us. Why don't you let him explain it first, and then discuss what conflict you have!"

Bai Xiaofei acted as a peacemaker.

And if it weren’t for Bai Xiaofei.

Zhang Xiaoxiao might have already yelled angrily.

She stared at Bai Xiaofei for a long time before coming back to her senses: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Without thinking, she scolded the elder again: "I will only give you three minutes. Tell me the truth about what happened. If you called us here for something other than an emergency, I will let you know the consequences of adding crime to crime!"

Bai Xiaofei and the Great Elder could both feel the anger coming from Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Almost without thinking, they both nodded in unison.

However, Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly. She quickly reached out her hand and pulled Bai Xiaofei to sit down.

"Why are you so cautious? I'm not just treating you like this! Xiaofei, why are you so nervous?!"

Whenever Zhang Xiaoxiao was talking to Bai Xiaofei, she spoke in a very weak tone, as if the old Zhang Xiaoxiao had returned.

"No matter what, I can't take my anger out on you. I know that if you hadn't supported me without hesitation after what happened to my body, my career would have definitely been unstoppable!"

The two are inseparable.

The Great Elder felt ashamed.

Just at this moment.

The door of the Great Elder's room was suddenly opened.

Ximen Mako rushed in with an anxious look on her face.

"Grandfather, do you know what happened in the city today? Why did such a light suddenly appear in the sky?"

"You once said that the coming of the empress would be like that. Could it be that the empress really has come..."

The moment Ximen Mako walked into the room, she realized something was wrong.

Because inviting Bai Xiaofei here was always something the Great Elder arranged for her to do. When would he personally come down and call Bai Xiaofei over?

What on earth happened that caused the Great Elder to change like this?

However, the moment she walked in, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

Ximen Zhenzi tried to keep a calm smile on his face and said, "Mr. Bai, Ms. Zhang, why are you here?"

Bai Xiaofei didn't expect Ximen Zhenzi to suddenly appear here.

He turned his head sharply.

When he sensed the change in Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression, he immediately turned his head and wanted to give Ximen Zhenzi a look.

But I don’t want the next second.

Zhang Xiaoxiao actually laughed softly, then supported her chin with one hand, turned her head, and looked at Ximen Mako with a faint smile.

"Miss Simon, you came at the right time! I was just worrying about what happened between you and me and I had no place to vent my anger. And you came back."

Zhang Xiaoxiao's creepy smile made Ximen Mako feel uncomfortable for a moment.

She frowned and looked at the Great Elder in confusion.

Only then did I realize that the great elder was kneeling on the ground motionless, with an expression that was obviously not right.

She immediately rushed forward and tried to help the great elder up.

"Grand Elder! Why are you kneeling here? Hurry up and get up! If you have anything to say, we can talk it out nicely!"

"Besides, they are younger than you. How can you kneel before them? Aren't you afraid that they will shorten their lifespan?"
