Understanding what the woman beneath him meant, Xiao Hechuan got up somewhat awkwardly and then looked away.
"Put your clothes on first."
Liu Yin ignored him, but answered the previous question instead, "My name is Liu Yin, and you brought me here."
"I brought you here? I don't know you at all." The man looked at Liu Yin with a sharp gaze.
"Master, what were you doing just now?"
"What did you call me?" Xiao Hechuan asked, somewhat taken aback.
“Master, it was you who brought me here.”
She wasn't lying. She was perfectly fine staying in the Guixu Realm, but he suddenly brought her here.
After understanding what Liu Yin said, Xiao Hechuan found it even more unbelievable.
He crouched down and grabbed Liuyin's wrist; there was clearly nothing inside her.
How could it possibly be his companion beast?
Liu Yin let him do as he pleased; after all, it was the truth.
Her gaze suddenly fell on Xiao Hechuan's face. Even with his cold expression, the man still looked exceptionally handsome.
"If you don't believe me, you can wait and see."
"No need." The man withdrew his hand, a complex look in his eyes.
Even after confirming that she was just a weak woman, and even though it sounded unbelievable, Xiao Hechuan still believed it.
He wasn't so weak that he wouldn't know someone had come in, especially since today was his coming-of-age ceremony, and there were heavy guards outside.
She appeared suddenly, and that was indeed after he finished reciting the incantation.
"Can you go back?" Xiao Hechuan asked in a hoarse voice.
Once this gets out, not to mention other prominent families, even her father will probably become suspicious of her.
It's useless if only he believes it.
Liu Yin shook her head. "No."
Since she had come to the Xuanwu Continent, she never thought of returning to the Ruins Realm.
The man was about to say something more when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.
"You go into the space first."
After the sound disappeared, Xiao Hechuan vaguely felt a sense of unreality. He quickly walked to the bronze mirror and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no marks on his face.
Xiao Bai stood outside the door, his face filled with excitement. "Young Master, the Patriarch sent me to ask."
The question, of course, is about what the young master's companion beast is.
Xiao Bai looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky and thought to himself, the timing is just right.
The room was silent, and no one answered. Xiao Bai thought they hadn't heard him, so he raised his voice a little, "Young Master?"
“Tell the patriarch there is nothing.” This time, Xiao Hechuan did not call for his father.
These words struck Xiao Bai like a bolt from the blue, leaving him somewhat bewildered. How could this be? Young Master is clearly so capable.
"Okay." But he still responded in a low voice, took a deep look at the door, and then turned and left.
Young master must be very sad right now.
After Xiao Bai left, Xiao Hechuan sat down, looking somewhat absent-minded.
Time passed by, and it was already past midnight.
Not long after Xiao Bai left, Xiao Hechuan faintly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy outside. He suddenly remembered that someone in the Xiao family was also having their coming-of-age ceremony today.
However, Xiao Hechuan didn't quite remember who that person was.
It seems the result is good.
After entering the companion space, Liu Yin looked around at the surrounding environment and was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Host, you can change the symbiotic space here yourself."
There is no conflict between Xuanwu Continent and Guixu Realm, and the beast race and human race live in relative harmony. After the companion beast is summoned, it also has the right to choose whether to sign a contract.
People here can only have one companion beast in their lifetime, and this also determines their fate afterward.
Like the male protagonist Xiao An, who summoned the level eight Lion King and rose to prominence overnight, transforming from a servant of the Xiao family into an object of everyone's flattery.
Then there's Xiao Hechuan. Because his summoning attempt failed during his coming-of-age ceremony, he fell from a great height into the mud, and his position as heir was lost.
"I'm not here, so he probably won't notice."
The space here is too small; it's fine to just look around. Staying here for too long would be too oppressive. It's better to have her own space.
"No," 003 replied.
"That's fine then."
Xiao Hechuan remained silent for a while, his feelings somewhat complicated.
The man looked up at the closed door. He should know the news by now, and he should be utterly disappointed.
Xiao Hechuan wasn't disappointed for long, after all, he knew that these useless emotions would only add to his troubles.
The most urgent task is to get her back.
Xiao Hechuan had no intention of signing a contract with Liuyin, as that would seem rather strange. He simply assumed that Liuyin's clan was born with the ability to transform into human form, but had no real strength whatsoever.
In the future, he will have trouble even taking care of himself, so how can he protect her?
As if sensing his thoughts, Liu Yin suddenly appeared in front of him, asking incredulously, "You want to kick me out?"
Xiao Hechuan then realized that he had unconsciously spoken out his thoughts.
The man's features were cold and stern, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "Wouldn't it be better to leave here?"
"not good."
Liu Yin leaned closer to him, a smirk playing on her lips, and said, "Unless you're willing to leave with me."
The two were very close, their breaths mingling. Xiao Hechuan slightly raised his eyes and his gaze met Liu Yin's.
The man lowered his eyes, ignoring the pounding in his heart, and said in a calm voice, "My surname is Xiao, and I belong here."
"Don't you want to know about your future?"
“Starting tomorrow, you will be invisible in the Xiao family. Your father will ignore you because someone with greater talent than you has appeared, and your status will plummet.”
Hearing this, Xiao Hechuan frowned slightly. In his eyes, although his father valued profit, he was not heartless.
However, he did disappoint him this time.
In fact, he had already anticipated that things would change in the future given today's situation. But what about tomorrow?
Looking at the expression on the man's face, Liu Yin knew that he probably didn't believe her.
Indeed, it is very difficult for pampered young masters from noble families to fathom the darker side of human nature.
Once he falls into the mud, anyone would want to kick him while he's down.
She had read the plot from 003. For the first twenty years of his life, Xiao Hechuan was a favored son of heaven, born into a prestigious family and possessing both good looks and excellent character.
In the following years, I was constantly ridiculed and betrayed.
Even Xiao Bai, who had always been by his side, submitted to the male protagonist after summoning his companion beast during his coming-of-age ceremony.
However, he still had some backbone, daring to deal with the Nightmare Beast.
If he were to become completely despondent, Liu Yin wouldn't give him a second glance.
"Then let's wait and see. It's late, you should get some rest."
