"Okay, I'll go in a bit."
Ji Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and the door closed automatically.
The first thing Li Fei did after returning was to summon her, which was probably a trap, a banquet from which she would never return.
"Sister, can we not go?" Li Xie asked anxiously.
Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Ah Xie, even if your sister doesn't go, your father will come in person."
Li Xie crawled on the sofa and suddenly pounced into Ji Xiaoxiao's arms. His chubby little hands gripped Ji Xiaoxiao's clothes tightly, refusing to let Ji Xiaoxiao seek her own death.
"Ah Xie, be good."
"Good girl, Xie. I'm not good," Li Xie said sullenly.
Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, gently rubbed Li Xie's head, and then slid her hand down to Li Xie's back. With a light but quick touch, Li Xie closed his eyes and fainted.
"Good things shouldn't be wasted," Ji Xiaoxiao murmured, looking at the unconscious Li Xie.
The servants, wary of Ji Xiaoxiao, stood guard at the door for an hour.
"Where is Xuanwu Master?" Another servant arrived. "The master is getting impatient."
"Master Xuanwu is in the room. He said he'll be there in a bit."
"Wait a while? It's been an hour already. No, if the master gets angry, neither of us will be able to handle it. You need to hurry up and urge Xuanwu Master again."
"I dare not."
Say it again.
"I dare not. I informed Master Xuanwu before, and he gave me a cold look. I know, I know, if I disturb Master Xuanwu again, I will surely die."
“This is leaving home. We are people who have left home. Xuanwu Master dares not do this.”
"She dares, you believe me."
"Whether I believe you or not is secondary; the main thing is your side, Patriarch. You and I are the Patriarch's confidants, and we both know a thing or two about the Patriarch's plans."
"Is the patriarch about to make a move?"
"*Almost certainly true."
The two were talking in hushed tones, unaware that the door had been opened.
"What are you doing standing here, picking up money?" Ji Xiaoxiao joked.
"Xuanwu Master." The two servants trembled with fear.
Ji Xiaoxiao ignored the two of them and walked straight past them towards Li Fei's study.
"Master, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Ji Xiaoxiao bowed.
"It's nothing." Li Fei stood up and helped Ji Xiaoxiao up.
Ji Xiaoxiao subtly withdrew her hand from the flying claw. "Patriarch, why did you summon me here? Is there something you need my help with?"
Li Fei stared blankly at his empty palm, a gentle smile spreading across his face.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to talk to Master Xuanwu."
Li Fei warmly took Ji Xiaoxiao's hand, and the two sat down on the mahogany sofa opposite the desk.
"Have a cup of tea." Li Fei personally brought the cup to Ji Xiaoxiao's lips. Ji Xiaoxiao had no choice but to drink it down in one gulp, cleanly and decisively.
Li Fei's eyebrows curved upwards, revealing faint crow's feet.
Ji Xiaoxiao silently cried out in her heart that Li Fei had ill intentions, and her laughter was truly chilling.
The two drank tea in silence, and time ticked by.
"By the way, Master Xuanwu, do you have someone you're interested in?" Li Fei suddenly asked.
Ji Xiaoxiao paused, holding her teacup, and tea splashed onto the back of her hand.
"No," Ji Xiaoxiao said.
“No? Master Xuanwu, it would be a real pity if no one cared for you.” Li Fei turned around and faced Ji Xiaoxiao. “Master Xuanwu, no, Xiaowen, if you don’t mind, we can become a couple and live together in the future.”
"Ah." Ji Xiaoxiao was stunned. Was Li Fei coveting my good looks?
"Xiaowen, I truly like you."
Li Fei confessed his true feelings, and sweet words flowed from his lips.
Ji Xiaoxiao was stunned; she genuinely looked down on Li Fei, this old man.
“Master, um... you are the head of the Li family, with power and influence. I am an unfortunate person who has lost my father, mother, husband and son, and I am not worthy of you.”
Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, her hands nervously gripping the hem of her clothes.
"Xiaowen, I don't mind." Li Fei took a step back.
"I mind, I can't ruin you." Ji Xiaoxiao said with a pained expression, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for being so beautiful and bringing trouble to you, the head of the family."
"Xiaowen, you like me, don't you?" Li Fei said self-righteously.
Ji Xiaoxiao remained silent, letting Li Fei misunderstand her.
"Okay, okay, Xiaowen, I'm so happy." Li Fei was overjoyed and pulled Ji Xiaoxiao into his arms, kissing her on the left and touching her on the right.
"Master, please don't do this. If you keep doing this, people will start shouting."
Li Fei stopped when he was done, and Ji Xiaoxiao regained her freedom.
After spending some time together, Ji Xiaoxiao decided to leave.
"Go? Xiaowen, where are you going? You're mine now." Li Fei took Ji Xiaoxiao's hand and led her into the secret room of the study.
"What is this?"
Ji Xiaoxiao saw two intact tiger skins.
So familiar? So incredibly familiar?
"Master, what about these two tigers?" Ji Xiao asked, leaving the question unanswered.
Li Fei understood immediately and explained, "I hunted this in the deep mountains of xx."
Isn't xx a place where handsome men and beautiful women live?
Ji Xiaoxiao approached and examined them closely, and the more she looked, the more she felt that the two tiger skins resembled handsome men and beautiful women.
"We found them in a cave, where there were several tiger cubs, but they all escaped because of the two adult tigers blocking their way."
Speaking of this, Li Fei was furious. Several beasts had escaped right under his nose; it was a blatant humiliation.
Ji Xiaoxiao turned a deaf ear, her eyes only on the two tiger skins.
Hearing what Li Fei said, Ji Xiaoxiao was absolutely certain that the two tiger skins were indeed those of a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Ji Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked around. She hadn't noticed before that the golden light in the secret room and tunnel came from the crystals in the cave.
