Chapter 578: Loss of composure
She clearly felt that she had no feelings for Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao, the original owner's biological parents, but for some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about them last night. It was like -
It was as if she herself was Zhong Nian Yao, or to be more precise, she felt that they were her biological parents.
She tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep, so she got up early.
"Haven't you figured out what to do yet?" Lu Yichen gently hugged Zhong Nianyao tighter, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness. "Don't think too much, just follow your heart."
After hearing Lu Yichen's words, Zhong Nianyao fell silent again. It was unclear whether she hadn't figured out what to do yet, or if she was simply too upset to care about anything.
Zhong Nian Yao didn't say anything, and Lu Yichen didn't urge her. He just hugged Zhong Nian Yao and looked at the scenery outside quietly, without urging her or trying to comfort her.
Because he knew very well that such a thing was not a big deal for Zhong Nian Yao, and she would figure it out soon.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "Yichen, I want to meet Baili Hengyuan alone and have a chat with him."
She was not a person who liked to be entangled.
Now that the matter is here, it's no use continuing to worry about it. So, it's better to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Not many people knew about what happened back then, but Baili Hengyuan was definitely one of them. Or rather, the person who knew the most about it was probably Baili Hengyuan.
Therefore, if you want to figure out this matter now, finding Baili Hengyuan is a good way.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen did not ask any further questions, but said lightly, "Okay."
Although it was just a simple word, Zhong Nianyao knew that Lu Yichen had agreed. She thought that it would be arranged soon, and then she would just have to have a good chat with Baili Hengyuan.
Zhong Nianyao expected it to be quick, but she didn't expect it to be this fast. When they went down, Lu Yichen was going to take her to Baili Hengyuan.
"So fast?" Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised. "Is there any need to be so anxious?"
Although she also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, she didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Now that the decision has been made, there's nothing to delay." Lu Yichen held Zhong Nianyao's hand and walked forward, saying, "The sooner you know the ins and outs of the matter, the sooner you can make a decision!"
Zhong Nianyao obediently followed Lu Yichen forward without saying anything else.
Lu Yichen brought Zhong Nian Yao and went directly to the location behind the Baili family's ancestral home.
After arriving at the back, Zhong Nianyao discovered that this place was truly a hidden gem. There was another courtyard in the backyard, planted with a variety of exotic flowers and plants. There must have been a formation, and the spiritual energy here sounded rich. Not to mention the others, even she felt very comfortable standing there.
Lu Yichen brought Zhong Nian Yao directly into the yard, and then saw Baili Hengyuan sitting there, seemingly waiting for someone.
When he saw Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen enter, he immediately stood up and nodded as a greeting, "Mr. Lu and Miss Zhong, right?"
After Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao sat down, Baili Hengyuan poured them each a cup of tea. He then picked up his own cup and took a sip before slowly speaking, "I wonder if there's something you two want to see me in person about?"
When he heard that Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were looking for him, he was a little confused. However, no matter what the matter was, as the patriarch of the Baili family, he should come forward.
"It has nothing to do with this exchange meeting."
Lu Yichen sat there quietly, not saying a word. It was Zhong Nianyao who spoke first. "I just want to ask Patriarch Baili something about the Baili family. I'm not sure if he's willing to answer my questions."
As soon as these words came out, Baili Hengyuan's attention fell directly on Zhong Nianyao. A hint of unknown darkness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I wonder what Miss Zhong wants to know?"
At this moment, he had already begun to have some doubts about Zhong Nianyao's existence. However, he also knew that no matter what Zhong Nianyao's identity was, it didn't matter.
As long as Zhong Nianyao is from the special department, he can't do anything.
Although the special department does not belong to the secluded family, it is very important to their secluded family.
Cultivation resources are so scarce nowadays, and I don’t know how those people in the special department were able to get so many good things.
It is also for this reason that although their secluded family is now independent, they still have to rely on special departments in many aspects.
Since she had decided to get to the bottom of it, Zhong Nianyao also decided that there was no point in hiding anything. She took off the mask on her face and faced Baili Hengyuan with her true face.
However, what she didn't expect was that the moment he saw her true face, Baili Hengyuan stood up directly, his eyes full of shock and nostalgia, and he even couldn't help but shout, "Rui'er."
Zhong Nianyao blinked, feeling a little surprised. She had seen Baili Leyao last night, so she knew that she and Baili Leyao didn't look much alike.
Now seeing Baili Hengyuan's out-of-control look, she knew that although she did not look like Baili Leyao, she should be somewhat similar to the other person.
"Clan Leader Baili?" Zhong Nianyao asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhong Nian Yao's voice did not bring back Baili Hengyuan's sanity. He was still a little dazed, immersed in his own thoughts, but his eyes were still on Zhong Nian Yao, filled with nostalgia.
Seeing this, Lu Yichen frowned, then took a step forward and stood directly in front of Zhong Nianyao. Although he didn't say anything, the aura emanating from his body made people shiver with cold.
Baili Hengyuan immediately regained consciousness. His sharp gaze fell on Zhong Nianyao, "Who are you?"
After all, he was the patriarch of a family, and a hidden one at that. Whether it was his strength or the storms he had experienced, he was not comparable to ordinary people. Therefore, the power he possessed was naturally not something that ordinary people could compare to.
