When she came to see Tang Xiaobao this time, Ximen Zhiruo was already ready to sacrifice herself.
Not only for the family, but also for herself.
A genius like Tang Xiaobao, who is handsome and has an unfathomable level of cultivation, can stir up trouble anywhere. In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and it is normal for him to be liked by any woman.
So, she didn't want to miss Tang Xiaobao.
But deep down, she still feels a little inferior.
She knew that Tang Xiaobao had already married Situ Linglong, who was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Compared with her, she had no advantage at all.
But she still wanted to give it a try.
She tried her best, and she couldn't decide the outcome.
So, she took a breath and said, "I'm going to go in and see him."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression changed slightly and he frowned, "But, will Master Ximen get angry?"
"Are you still a member of my Ximen family? Why, do you want to stop me?"
Ximen Zhiruo narrowed her eyes and stared at the shopkeeper.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper was startled, remembering that the Ximen Zhiruo in front of him was his master. He shuddered with fear and said quickly, "I am worried about the safety of the master. I have no other intentions. Please understand."
He knelt down to Ximen Zhiruo.
A feeling of fear spread in his heart.
"I will bear all the consequences myself."
After Ximen Zhiruo finished speaking, she walked straight past the shopkeeper and entered the hall.
At a glance, she saw Tang Xiaobao sitting there eating, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. Ximen Zhiruo's heart was pounding.
She walked up to Tang Xiaobao and bent over her luggage: "Greetings, Master Ximen."
Tang Xiaobao looked up at her and said with a smile, "Has Patriarch Ximen eaten yet?"
Ximen Zhiruo was stunned.
She originally thought Tang Xiaobao would be angry.
But in the end, Tang Xiaobao asked her if she had eaten.
She was a little confused, and breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and said: "Not yet, such a big thing happened at home, how can I have the mind to eat? The ancestor just wiped out the Nangong family, and now our entire clan has moved to the Nangong Mansion."
"Oh, I'm not interested in these things. Come on, sit down and have dinner together."
Tang Xiaobao said.
He really wasn't interested in these things.
However, Tang Xiaobao has always been respectful to beautiful women.
Even if you don’t eat it, it’s good for your eyes.
Women already have privileges, such as being able to be late for dates openly...
This is the rule on Earth. He is an Earthling, so naturally he is used to it.
Ximen Zhiruo was a little flattered.
She felt quite embarrassed, but she still couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to have close contact with Tang Xiaobao, so she sat down obediently.
"The food in your hotel is quite delicious. Let's try it."
Tang Xiaobao laughed.
Ximen Zhiruo nodded, said thank you, took two sips, and then stood up to pour wine for Tang Xiaobao. Then she said, "Master Ximen, this glass of wine is for you. Thank you for everything you have given me. Without you, I would not be the head of the Ximen family."
Tang Xiaobao drank it and said, "But you don't seem to like being the head of the family."
"Yeah, it's a huge responsibility."
Ximen Zhiruo sighed, "Actually, this isn't the life I envisioned. I don't want to be born into a big family like the Ximen family. I'd rather be a woman from an ordinary family, living a free and unfettered life. If there's a man who loves me, I'm willing to give up everything and follow him. Even if the future holds many hardships, I'll never regret it."
ah?
Tang Xiaobao was confused.
What does this mean?
After Ximen Zhiruo said this, her face turned red.
She was so shy, and these words seemed to be a confession.
At least, is it an indirect gesture of goodwill?
Anyway, she feels guilty.
So, she quickly changed the subject, took out a few storage bags from her body, placed them on the table, and said, "This is a gift from our Ximen family to you, young master. Please accept it."
Tang Xiaobao didn't even look at the storage bag and said, "Look, I care about these things, right? To be honest, you are the only one in the Ximen family who catches my eye, because you are kind. This world is cruel, and we can't change it all, but at least, I don't want a kind person to end up in a bad situation, so I will help you. Otherwise, the entire Ximen family would have been wiped out. I don't care about your gifts, I care about an attitude. If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Now Ximen Ruoxue is dead, Ximen Rui is also dead, and I am satisfied with these gifts.
"You can take it back. I'm sure your Ximen family will dominate this ghost town in the future. Leaving these things behind will be beneficial to you, but they are of no use to me. Put them away."
"No, this is truly a token of our appreciation. Besides, these things were all found by us from the Nangong family, not from our Ximen family, so please accept them."
Ximen Zhiruo sounded a little pitiful.
Tang Xiaobao smiled slightly: "Forget it, take it back. I think you are a good person, so I helped you. You don't have to think about it anymore."
"But--"
"No buts."
Tang Xiaobao explained seriously, "Perhaps, in the eyes of others, I am a moody devil, but in fact, I am not. If others don't provoke me, I will definitely not provoke them. We all live in peace. Even if the other party is not a good person, I am not the savior, and it has nothing to do with me. You understand what I mean, don't worry. Since I let the Ximen family go, I will definitely not settle the score later!"
"I, I—"
"Master Ximen, do you have anything else to say? Feel free to ask."
Tang Xiaobao said politely.
He just can't bear to be cruel to women, especially beautiful women.
It had only been a few minutes, and he had already become much closer to Ximen Zhiruo.
He even considered Ximen Zhiruo as a friend.
It makes no sense.
But that's the truth.
Ximen Zhiruo hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Nothing else. I came here today just to thank you, Master. I will always remember your kindness to me. If you need me or the Ximen family, please feel free to ask. No matter what it is, I will definitely agree to it."
She said it very sincerely.
Tang Xiaobao also felt her sincerity.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "You are too polite. If I need your help in the future, I will definitely not be polite to you. If you need my help with anything, you can also come to me. We can be friends, right?"
ah?
Ximen Zhiruo was so ecstatic that she almost jumped up.
Does this mean we are friends now?
That’s great.
Even if I can't follow you, it's good to be your friend.
Her requirements are not high.
Very easy to satisfy.
