Following her gaze, Ma Yingbei realized that he had been exposed. He was not embarrassed and quietly put away his phone.
"Master Wen Xi, you know, my family elders said that I must take you as my master, no matter sooner or later. I have to call you Master! So when are we going to prepare the apprenticeship banquet?"
Wen Xi shook his head helplessly, thought for a moment, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
“Drive here first!”
Wen Xi showed him the address sent by Princess Xixi.
Ma Yingbei came over to take a look and immediately patted his chest and said, "Okay, let's go here, right? Let's go now!"
"Is this the address that Princess Xixi from the livestream sent you? It's an ancient castle on the outskirts of Changjing City. It must be worth a lot of money. It's obviously a wealthy family!"
Since the truth had been revealed, Ma Yingbei simply gave up and said bluntly, "But why would Yue Ling come to Changjing City? The Yue family has quite a wide range of businesses!"
"Do you know Yue Ling?"
"We're not very familiar with each other, but we're all from the Xuanmen family circle, so we know each other a little bit! But how did you get to know each other? When she got into trouble, she actually left a message asking you to find her. Could it be that... the person you mentioned last time, the one the Yue family wanted to take you in as their master, was Yue Ling?"
Ma Yingbei shuddered and felt that he had discovered the truth.
"Well, that's what the elders of the Yue family think. Yue Ling herself doesn't have this intention."
Wen Xi closed his eyes and said casually.
Ma Yingbei didn't think so, and felt a chill in his heart.
Just kidding, as the descendants of the Xuanmen family, they are extremely confident in their own metaphysics. Those who leave messages to ask for help from outsiders are basically affirming the other party's ability!
This Yue Lingbi is definitely coveting Wen Xi!
Ma Yingbei was so sure in his heart, absolutely! Was he going to rescue his competitor together?
The two of them each had their own thoughts and were silent all the way until midnight when they arrived at the ancient castle that Princess Xixi had mentioned.
The magnificent castle looked particularly eerie in the dark night, with its thick iron fences tightly closed.
The two got out of the car together, and Ma Yingbei decisively rang the doorbell.
The surveillance camera at the gate is turning.
After a long time, someone finally responded.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm here to look for Xixi. We are her friends."
Wen Xi responded calmly.
"Oh? You're visiting so late? She's already asleep. Please come back tomorrow..."
"Wait, Steward Shi, those are my friends outside. I asked them to come here specially. Please let them in. I will prepare two more rooms for them to sleep in. Let's put them on the same floor as mine."
Butler Shi wanted to refuse, but before he could finish his words, Princess Xixi's voice came from inside. It was obvious that she knew Wen Xi was coming and had not fallen asleep and was waiting.
"this…"
"Butler Shi, don't you even listen to what I say? If you're worried about what mother-in-law thinks, I'll naturally tell her tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll open the door."
Along with the sounds from inside, the big iron gate outside was slowly opened.
The deep road seemed a bit far from the main building, so Ma Yingbei simply drove Wen Xi in.
The main building was brightly lit. When Ma Yingbei was about to get out of the car, Wen Xi grabbed him.
Wen Xi asked seriously, "When you were watching the live broadcast, did you notice that something was wrong with Princess Xixi?"
Ma Yingbei frowned and said, "Even through the screen, I can sense that there's something about her that makes me uncomfortable, but I can't put my finger on it."
"Well, since I brought you here, I have to take you back with me. Remember, don't trust anyone else in the castle except me. And most of the time, you have to stay with me and don't be left alone. Got it?"
"Okay, Master!"
"...I'm not even a master yet. Don't call me that after you go in. Understand?"
Wen Xi pressed his brows speechlessly to remind him.
"Okay, okay, I got it!"
Boom boom boom!
Seeing that they didn't get out of the car, Butler Shi knocked on their car window expressionlessly.
Wen Xi and Ma Yingbei finally got out of the car. Butler Shi took Ma Yingbei's car keys, his handsome face expressionless, "Please come in, two guests."
The main building of the castle is very large, with six floors above and below. There are probably more than ten or twenty rooms on each floor. The interior is decorated luxuriously and is full of ancient artistic style.
Princess Xixi was waiting for them in the hall. When she saw Wen Xi, she quickly came over and said with blushing cheeks, "Wen Xi, hello. Thank you for coming all the way here."
He glanced at Ma Yingbei again and asked softly, "Wen Xi, I thought you came here alone. Who is this person? Is he your assistant?"
Wen Xi said casually, "I guess so. His name is Ma Yingbei."
Ma Yingbei smiled cheerfully, "It's okay for me to be your assistant. You look younger than me. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Bei."
"Brother Bei?"
Princess Xixi nodded and said, "Actually, my name is Luo Xi, and my mother-in-law and the others also call me Xixi."
"Well, do you want to show us around? Like Yue Ling's room?"
Wen Xi rushed here overnight because he was afraid that something might happen to Yue Ling.
"It's a little too late now. I'm afraid it will be too obvious and arouse suspicion."
Rosie bit her lip in confusion.
Butler Shi walked in from outside and reminded her, "Miss Xixi, it's already very late. It's long past your bedtime. A good night's sleep is good for your beauty. According to the schedule Madam has set for you, you should be asleep by now. If Madam knows you stayed up late tomorrow, she will definitely be angry."
Luo Xi frowned and said, "I know. I'm going to bed now. Butler Shi, you should go back to your room and rest."
He called out to Wen Xi and the others, "Come with me, you all sleep on my floor, I'll take you there."
"good!"
Wen Xi and Ma Yingbei hurriedly followed until they turned the corner, where Steward Shi's sharp gaze disappeared.
"Huh! Your Steward Shi must be a powerful figure. The way he looks at me is like a knife. If you don't know, you would think I owe him money!"
Ma Yingbei's back was covered in sweat.
"Well, it seems Butler Shi doesn't welcome us to the castle."
A ray of light flashed across Wen Xi's beautiful eyes. She could clearly sense the hostility emanating from Butler Shi.
Luo Xi sighed softly and led them up the winding stairs, saying, "Butler Shi used to be quite nice and gentle. But as the children in the castle started to leave or disappear, his temper became increasingly erratic. He no longer welcomed outsiders into the castle and would always stay inside, not going out unless it was absolutely necessary."
"Children in the castle?"
"Well, actually... I'm not really a princess, because I was also adopted by my mother-in-law."
Rosie stopped and told them calmly.
