The voice carried no doubt whatsoever.
Ning Xi'er looked up and met Kong Xiu's worried yet calm gaze...
Unexpectedly, despite my best efforts to conceal it, the other party still discovered it.
For Kong Xiu, who is willing to take risks and protect the Shen family regardless of the consequences...
Ning Xier really had nothing to hide.
So she briefly recounted to Kong Xiu her encounter with the old Taoist priest outside the Marquis's residence.
Unexpectedly, Kong Xiu seemed quite interested and asked a few more questions about the old Taoist priest.
Physical characteristics, and the circumstances of their encounter, etc.
Ning Xi'er thought he was just curious and didn't think anything of it.
"Have you ever been injured before?"
Kong Xiu asked in a calm voice.
Ning Xi'er understood that he wanted to ask if she had ever been injured since acquiring her superpower and possessing such immense power...
Ning Xi'er answered truthfully, "No."
"Haven't you ever encountered a Taoist priest before, or have you never encountered such a powerful Taoist priest before?"
Ning Xi'er even found it a little strange, because based on her memory of Kong Xiu, he was not a talkative person.
His current curiosity made him seem like a talkative person.
But Ning Xi'er knew that he wasn't.
Ning Xi'er thought about it. During this time, besides the powerful Taoist she unfortunately encountered tonight, there was also Xingming, this fake Taoist...
However, Xingming was just a fake charlatan who didn't have any magic powers, so he wasn't affected at all.
"It seems tonight's is more impressive..."
Kong Xiu frowned and said nothing more.
Regarding the removal of Chen Ning and Bai Yanying's space, Ning Xi'er simply explained...
Kong Xiu, on the other hand, wasn't particularly interested in the space...
When Ning Xi'er casually mentioned that she had encountered a Taoist priest performing a ritual that evening, she almost let her guard down...
After being injured, he hid in a hidden space, and only when his injuries were not serious...
Kong Xiu raised his head slightly and glanced at her indifferently.
His voice was calm and emotionless as he reminded her, "In the future, you should be more cautious..."
Ning Xi'er knew he meant well and nodded.
The Shen family reunited and wept bitterly for a while before Shen Qing and Liu Shi turned to their granddaughter-in-law, Bai Yanying.
Liu held Bai Yanying's hand, showing her great care.
Shen Yan picked up the two little ones, and the other two clung to his legs, wanting to be held too...
Ning Xi'er smiled gently, her lips curving into a smile.
This moment has been waited for for far too long.
"Grandfather, grandmother, uncles, aunts, can you rest assured now?"
Can you come with me now?
However, before the situation stabilizes, please stay in the space with your mother and sister-in-law for the time being.
It's safe here with Lord Kong for now, but my space...
The supplies have all been prepared in advance, which will also help my mother recover. You can also keep an eye on my brother's children...
What do you all think?
Shen Qing and Liu Shi exchanged glances, and did not hesitate for the moment.
Shen Qing released Liu Shi's hand, walked up to Kong Xiu, and said to him earnestly:
"Come with us..."
Before Kong Xiu could answer, Ning Xi'er turned around and said sincerely, "Even if my grandfather hadn't said it, this is what I planned to do..."
Lord Kong has shown us great kindness, and he is also a member of our Shen family.
If we're going to leave, we'll go together!
Shen Qing looked at Ning Xi'er with satisfaction.
My granddaughter seems to have had some adventures outside, and has matured a lot.
Kong Xiu's lips curved slightly, though no smile could be seen on his face...
But the lines are soft, and it's clear that the person is in a very happy mood at the moment.
"No, thank you for your concern, sir! And thank you for your concern, Miss Ning..."
The situation in the capital is complex, with the two young masters still at the border, facing both internal and external troubles...
With me in the capital, we can still maneuver if necessary...
besides......"
Kong Xiu looked at Ning Xi'er, but didn't say anything more.
But Ning Xi'er immediately connected the dots to Xie Zhun.
In this situation, the Crown Prince's ruthless killing of Xie Zhun's entourage demonstrates a complete lack of conscience and ruthlessness...
It was only a matter of time before an uprising broke out.
Now, Ning Xi'er is going to take Shen Qing and the rest of the group away...
As for where to go, naturally, it was to meet up with Xie Zhun.
Although the wilderness is not peaceful, its location on the frontier, far from the power center of the capital, allows for the mobilization of forces and henchmen...
Especially when the Crown Prince needs to concentrate his efforts on consolidating the capital, the use of the desolate region is actually limited.
With careful planning, there is a great chance of success.
When the Shen family arrived in Huangjing, Kong Xiu sided with them...
Naturally, Xie Zhun would also be taken into consideration.
Although Kong Xiu didn't say it, Ning Xi'er had already guessed it.
So she said, "Thank you so much, Lord Kong, for thinking of us so much..."
But compared to these conveniences, your safety is just as important...
"You should come with me!"
Kong Xiu's lips curved slightly, finally revealing a smile.
He probably rarely smiled, which made Shen Qing look slightly surprised.
Aunt Chen Yue remained motionless, as if she had forgotten to breathe, and looked tenderly at Kong Xiu's profile.
Ning Xi'er suddenly realized, something's not right!
According to the original owner's memories, Kong Xiu was not the aunt's official love interest, but the person the aunt admired.
Why hasn't Kong Xiu looked at his aunt even once since just now?
Where is it? Is there a mistake?
