Su Nanxi's "brother" was not loud; it was just a murmur to herself. If it were any other day, no one would have noticed or heard it.
But things are different now!
Her every move was being closely watched. She seemed to be walking around casually, but her eyesight and hearing had been enhanced!
Especially at night, and since the other party was a martial artist who walked quietly, Su Nanxi's voice carried very clearly. Although the voice was a little hoarse, he still recognized it!
The shopkeeper wasn't as good at hearing and didn't hear clearly. When he saw his young master suddenly stop and stare intently at the other person, he also stopped, but he didn't know what was going on!
In just a few seconds, he thought of dozens of possibilities!
The inner world is truly magnificent!
Based on his decades of experience, he quickly made the right judgment, and was overjoyed, his eyes shining!
His hands were trembling slightly as he turned his head in disbelief to look at Su Nanxi.
Could it be...?
It is said that blood ties are a magical thing; when they come together, there will be a certain connection!
Judging from the young master's reaction now, he has most likely sensed the presence of the young lady!
He couldn't see the eldest son's eyes clearly because he was wearing a mask, but he was confident that with his decades of experience, it would be like family meeting again, their eyes brimming with tears, everything understood without words!
You don't need to ask anything, you don't need to say anything, just watch quietly!
But since it's confirmed that the person opposite is a young lady, why not let her sit down and then have a proper chat?
Standing like this isn't a good idea!
He stood to the side, suddenly feeling superfluous, unsure of what to do!
So, he disappeared?
But he couldn't just leave like that. Before everything was completely certain, he had a duty to protect the eldest son!
This is a lesson learned!
Don't ask so many questions, because if you do, they'll just say they encountered assassins!
right!
Someone set a trap, taking advantage of the young master's longing for the young lady, to assassinate him!
Although many traps have been set up tonight, it won't be easy to harm the young master, but it's still best to be careful in everything!
Su Nanxi's heart began to flutter as soon as she saw the handsome young man approaching.
She had the original owner's memories, and when she was bored in the dark void, she would repeatedly revisit those memories. She had a very deep impression of what the original owner's family looked like!
Even with only half a mask on, she still recognized that the person in front of her was the original owner's older brother!
She hadn't expected that he would hear her. She spoke so softly, yet he still heard her and immediately stopped, staring at her for a long time!
She was initially quite calm, but because she was wearing a cloak that most people couldn't see through, she felt like she was being seen through!
I don't know where to put my hands and feet anymore!
Tsk!
Is it really confirmed just because of that one word "brother"?
Without verifying the information from multiple perspectives, isn't this too arbitrary?
What if it's not? What if it's an enemy setting a trap to deliberately get close to you?
Wouldn't that mean he's doomed?
Oh well, never mind!
You have to believe in blood ties; if not, the other person would probably have treated her badly already!
But she felt very uncomfortable just staring at her like that. She really wanted to say, "Big brother, you can ask me anything!"
She promised the old shopkeeper she would tell them what they wanted to know, so hurry up and ask!
If we don't ask, this silence won't work either!
Mo Qinghe was too far away to hear clearly, but Xiao Han and Yan Feng, who were closer, also couldn't figure out what was going on.
The two looked at each other, both seeing a big question mark in each other's eyes.
Needless to say, they didn't know what was going on either. Although they heard Su Nanxi's murmurs, they were completely bewildered.
They were watching anxiously from the sidelines. Why were they not moving or saying a word? Were they exchanging glances?
Are there still people these days who can achieve seamless eye contact throughout the entire process?
Can read minds?
Yes, you can!
It looks so unbelievable!
The master was wearing a cloak, and the person opposite him was wearing a half-mask. How sharp must their eyes be to understand each other's unspoken messages!
This silence is a little eerie!
If they hadn't been silenced, they would have definitely gotten to the bottom of things by now!
Just staring won't solve the problem!
Su Nanxi also felt that this was not a solution at all. Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, she had no choice but to speak first.
Someone has to speak first!
"So you're the owner behind Long's Rice Shop? Ask away! If I know, I'll tell you! But we have a deal: I've told you everything, and you have to give all my people back!"
Su Nanxi spoke slowly and deliberately, her slightly hoarse voice revealing a certain imposing manner.
The young man opposite him instantly snapped out of his daze. Having experienced many things, he could handle such a situation.
After shifting his body slightly, he fell silent for a moment, as if preparing something or having some reservations, before slowly speaking after a long while.
"Yes! We will definitely keep our promise! And please answer our questions honestly."
Su Nanxi recognized the voice and for a moment, she seemed to see the original owner chatting with her older brother!
This must be the original owner's older brother, right?
Su Nanxi's momentary lapse in concentration startled the two people opposite her, each of them secretly thinking that something was wrong!
Is there going to be another change?
What I fear most is sudden silence in the middle!
This is really tough!
In an instant, I can conjure up countless possible endings!
When Su Nanxi came to her senses and looked across at the two people opposite her, she saw how nervous and worried they were, and realized that she had been daydreaming. She quickly nodded, "Okay! Ask away!"
The masked youth swallowed hard a few times and asked the question he most wanted to know, "Excuse me, young lady, do you have a jade pendant from the Long family? Do you recognize the person in this painting?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the scroll fell down, revealing the person inside the painting.
Su Nanxi immediately recognized that the painting depicted the original owner of the body, though it must have been painted a few years ago. Although the appearance was slightly immature, it already showed a stunning quality!
Sigh!
How could she not recognize him!
This was originally her appearance!
It's just that she's not a person who cares about dressing up in modern times, and she sweats a lot when practicing martial arts, so she's a bit rough around the edges!
“I do have a jade pendant on me, and only you know for sure whether it belongs to your Long clan! Do you want to go back? I've seen the girl in this painting before!”
The masked boy's eyes lit up instantly, filled with excitement and exhilaration that he almost couldn't contain and was about to burst out!
Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "The jade pendant isn't the most important thing, let's not worry about that for now! I just want to know how to find the girl in this painting? Could you please tell me?"
Instead of answering, Su Nanxi asked, "What do you want with her? Is she a relative or an enemy?"
