Qi Xiao’s voice was filled with anxiety: “Qingyi Shushu, are you injured?”

Lin Ziran’s heart trembled, and he immediately became nervous. He had already treated the wound before coming here and even used spices to suppress the bloody smell. He didn’t expect that Qi Xiao would still find out, but he quickly calmed down.

There is no need to be nervous!

The nervousness was purely due to a guilty conscience, but as long as Qi Xiao didn’t think about it that way, he wouldn’t realize that he was Lan Junhe!

Lin Ziran had a calm expression and said: “I encountered a little trouble when I came to see you, it’s nothing, don’t worry.”

How could Qi Xiao feel at ease? Qingyi Shushu was so powerful. Who could hurt him? Qi Xiao reached out to pull Lin Ziran’s clothes and said: “Let me see where you are hurt?”

Lin Ziran’s forehead jumped, and he quickly held Qi Xiao’s hand, saying in a deep voice: “It’s really okay!”

Qi Xiao’s eyelashes trembled, and he had to stop moving, but he looked aggrieved and lost and said softly: “I’m sorry, I’m just worried about you…”

Lin Ziran softened his heart again, but he would never show his injury to others. This was his bottom line! He comforted him softly: “It’s just a minor injury. It’s really not a big deal. Take a rest. You’ve had a hard day today.”

Qi Xiao was a little unwilling and pursed his lips, but finally nodded and hugged Lin Ziran’s waist and fell asleep.

Lin Ziran let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the child was obedient. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get away with it today!

Qi Xiao was not actually asleep. He closed his eyes and leaned against the man. At such a close distance, he could even feel the other person’s heartbeat, one beat after another… Just now, for a moment, an absurd thought appeared in his mind. He couldn’t wait to see the wound and see where it was…

He was very scared.

But Lin Ziran stopped him, saying it was just a minor injury and not a big deal.

In the end, he chose to believe him.

This is his Qingyi Shushu. He would definitely not lie to him or harm him, right?

Definitely not.

So, he has to believe him too.

………………

Lin Ziran slept very lightly. Although he believed that Qi Xiao would not do anything wrong, he still wore a mask and did not dare to relax completely. He woke up before dawn in the morning.

Lin Ziran quietly took away Qi Xiao’s hand that was around his waist, got up, and walked out the door.

A ray of golden light appeared in the east, but the light had not yet reached here. The surroundings were gray, and the air was slightly cool in the early morning. Lin Ziran took a breath.

Now that he is here, this is a rare opportunity to observe Feng Zhuo and Qi Xiao’s relationship up close!

As Qi Xiao’s ‘old father’, Lin Ziran was very curious about Feng Zhuo, his son-in-law. Although Feng Zhuo was described in the script and the setting, he was still worried if he didn’t see him with his own eyes. After all, the script is not very reliable. He is almost traumatized. However, this world is so smooth… Logically speaking, there should be no problem with their relationship, right?

If there is a problem, it must be this rubbish game. He has tried so hard!

Lin Ziran walked out of the courtyard, thinking about how to test Feng Zhuo. Just as he was thinking about him, he saw Feng Zhuo in a white brocade robe, walking towards him from a distance. He looked very healthy and seemed to have recovered well.

He saw Lin Ziran, gave a polite smile, and said: “The gentleman is up too.”

Lin Ziran nodded slightly and looked him up and down. As the crown prince of Haihe country, Feng Zhuo’s appearance definitely fits the style of a protagonist gong. What a handsome man. His every move is elegant and measured.

At least from the outside, there is no problem matching Qi Xiao.

The first level passed!

However, Lin Ziran was not worried about this. Based on his understanding of this game, as long as the protagonist gong is not bad-looking, the top and bottom protagonist’s appearance is always on line! Although it is good to be rich and good-looking, the most important thing is your love for the child. If you don’t like Qi Xiao, even if you are a royal family, it won’t work!

Huh, Lin Ziran couldn’t help but be stunned. He actually had such a thought!

It seems that he really treats Qi Xiao as his son…

Cough cough cough.

Lin Ziran put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, looked at Feng Zhuo coldly, and said: “How do you know Qi Xiao?”

Feng Zhuo was keenly aware that Lin Ziran didn’t like him very much. When he heard him suddenly ask him this, he was slightly startled and then suddenly realized that Lin Ziran was Qi Xiao’s elder and cared so much about Qi Xiao. He seemed to be a protective person. He wouldn’t think that he had any improper thoughts about Qi Xiao, would he?…

Just looking at Qi Xiao’s appearance, it is indeed coveted by men, but this beauty is cold-hearted and even more ruthless. Anyone who dares to covet him will most likely have to pay a price.

And he really doesn’t have any thoughts about Qi Xiao. The relationship between them is just a simple cooperation.

Feng Zhuo smiled and said slowly: “Qi Xiao wanted to kill Lan Junhe for revenge, and I happened to be an enemy of Youlan Realm. We met by chance. Although we have not known each other for a long time, Qi Xiao is a young talent. I have always respected him as a friend. Gentleman, you can rest assured.”

Lin Ziran: “…”

Don’t worry, don’t worry your mom!

How could you not be attracted to such a stunningly beautiful young man? Do you have any vision at all? Are you still a man?

This is not what I want to hear!

Lin Ziran’s voice was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: “That’s good.”

After saying that, he turned around and left. He was really pissed off today!

Feng Zhuo actually doesn’t like Qi Xiao!

Do you need Qi Xiao to like you first?

Feng Zhuo was startled again when he saw this and couldn’t help but feel confused. Lin Ziran’s tone and attitude when he asked the question just now were clearly full of hostility towards him. He didn’t want to be misunderstood, so he explained it seriously, but why did the other party become even more angry and dissatisfied…

After a while, Feng Zhuo laughed and came to his senses.

He thought of his Gufu’s love for his little daughter, the apple of his eye. If someone liked her, his Gufu would be unhappy, thinking that others were coveting his treasure. If someone didn’t like her, his Gufu would still be unhappy, thinking that if someone didn’t like her, he was blind.

(*Gufu= uncle; husband of paternal aunt)

Feng Zhuo couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth.

Qi Xiao does have an elder who truly loves him.

He just didn’t expect that this senior who looked mysterious and cold could also have such a straightforward and awkward side, which was inexplicably cute…

Feng Zhuo shook his head and turned away.

………………

Lin Ziran walked and thought, feeling a little anxious. What was wrong? Why did Feng Zhuo still look unmoved? Wasn’t such a long time enough for their relationship to develop?

Or, because Qi Xiao directly stated that he was the one who gave the antidote, there was no chance for them to develop feelings for each other?

Lin Ziran thought about it over and over again but still couldn’t make up his mind. When he returned to his courtyard, he saw Qi Xiao getting up.

The boy’s beautiful and delicate face glowed softly in the morning light, so beautiful that Lin Ziran almost fell in love with him. As the protagonist gong, how could Feng Zhuo not be fascinated by his beauty? !

This is unscientific!

Lin Ziran thought for a moment and said hesitantly: “Xiao’er, how did you come up with the idea of looking for Feng Zhuo?”

Qi Xiao said directly: “Because he is the enemy of Youlan Realm.”

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, this is a fact that everyone knows…

Lin Ziran said in a deep voice: “I think this person is not simple. You are not familiar with him, so how can you believe that he will sincerely cooperate with you?”

Qi Xiao smiled, his eyes curved, and said casually: “It doesn’t matter, I don’t really trust him. It’s just that we each get what we need. Nothing else matters.”

Lin Ziran: “…”

He looked at Qi Xiao’s nonchalant expression and tone and suddenly felt like an arrow was pierced in his heart!

Qi Xiao grew up under his watch, and he would never hide anything from him. If he was attracted to the other person, how could he have such an attitude?

【Lin Ziran was about to cry: Oh my god! Oh my god! Why on earth is this happening! What did I do wrong? 】

【System:……】

【Lin Ziran: This is definitely a problem with your game! 】

【System: …Calm down. 】

It was really hard for him. He was so worried about his child’s relationship, but in the end, the child didn’t want to fall in love at all!

Qi Xiao was unwilling to talk more about Feng Zhuo. He walked over and held Lin Ziran’s hand, blinked his eyes, and said softly: “Qingyi Shushu, you won’t leave again this time, right…”

Lin Ziran was feeling heartbroken, and then he saw the child looking at him with longing, not caring about his future ‘boyfriend’ at all, and he felt even more upset. No! He really couldn’t be soft-hearted this time!

When the child grows up, let him go and date properly. With him, the big light bulb, always there, how can the relationship develop if both of them are worried and unable to let go of misgivings?

Lin Ziran was determined to leave, and he also had the identity of Lan Junhe, so he couldn’t stay here forever.

Lin Ziran said: “I have something else to do, I’m afraid I can’t stay forever.”

Qi Xiao’s eyes dimmed, and he pursed his lips in silence.

Lin Ziran’s tone softened a little, and he said: “But don’t worry, I will find another opportunity to visit you.”

Qi Xiao clenched his hands. It was like this again. I could only wait for you to come see me again and again, but I can never take the initiative to see you or have the qualifications to find you…

When can I go see you on my own initiative?

He exhaled slowly and said obediently: “Okay.”

Lin Ziran touched the child’s head and was very satisfied with his obedience and understanding.

In order to make it up to Qi Xiao, Lin Ziran did not leave immediately but stayed for the day.

Qi Xiao and Feng Zhuo were not idle that day, and they discussed the next plan.

Feng Zhuo said: “Lan Junhe would never have thought that I would recover so quickly. I will have my men continue to seek medical treatment and create the illusion that I am seriously injured and incurable. When we find an opportunity, we will lure the enemy deep into our territory and catch him off guard.”

Qi Xiao nodded: “After getting rid of Lan Junhe, I will take you straight to Youlan Realm. By then, there will only be You Chi left, which should not be a big deal.”

Feng Zhuo said: “That’s it.”

Qi Xiao turned around and asked Lin Ziran: “Qingyi Shushu, what do you think?”

Lin Ziran thought that this feeling was quite exciting, watching others discuss how to kill him in person, and he could even help with suggestions!

He coughed lightly and said: “No problem, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to. You Chi was possessed by the devil in his early years, and his body was seriously damaged. He has been in seclusion for many years, but no one knows what his cultivation level is. You must not let your guard down. He is the most dangerous person in the Youlan Realm.”

Qi Xiao nodded: “I understand.”

After they finished their discussion, Lin Ziran accompanied Qi Xiao back.

Qi Xiao looked a little reluctant in the night, but he was very sensible and took the initiative to say: “Qingyi Shushu, if you have something to do, go ahead. I will wait for you.”

Lin Ziran looked at the young man and sighed inaudibly.

This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

But only he knows that this departure is probably a farewell forever.

Because the next time they meet, he must take out the soul Gu, he can’t delay any longer, and after taking out the soul Gu, he will fall into You Chi’s hands, and it will be impossible for him to come and go freely as he pleases.

Lan Junhe is still there, but Qingyi will not be there anymore.

He came to this world just to wait for this moment, complete the task, and get credits, but this is the first time to play the game of raising someone… Although it seems to him that there are only fifty days, every day when he wakes up and closes his eyes to sleep, he looks at this child, worries about this child, and watches him grow up little by little, from a soft meat ball to the sharp and beautiful boy he is today.

Being a father is hard but wonderful!

But now they finally have to part ways.

Lin Ziran had a complicated look on his face. He wanted to give him some advice, but Qi Xiao was so smart. It would be bad if he found out something… He just wanted him to live well, which would be a good start and a good end. That was probably enough.

He said nothing more and just turned and left.

Qi Xiao wanted to take a step forward, but he didn’t. He just looked at the back of the man in front of him. Just like every time before, he was gradually submerged in the night again.

………………

Lin Ziran did not go through the main door. After all, his current identity was quite sensitive. So he turned to the back door of the mansion. When he was about to jump over the wall to leave, he suddenly saw Feng Zhuo standing there. He could not help but look solemn.

Feng Zhuo had a warm expression and quickly said: “Gentleman, don’t think too much. The reason I’m waiting here is that I have a few words to say to you.”

Lin Ziran said coldly: “What do you want to say?”

Feng Zhuo said sincerely: “I know you are also from Youlan Realm, and it is inconvenient to reveal your identity, but now we are going to go to war with Youlan Realm, and you may be in danger if you stay there. Qi Xiao also cares about you very much, why don’t you just stay for him?”

Wow, you finally started to care about Qi Xiao!

Lin Ziran felt better and relieved, but he still wanted to leave, saying: “My business, you don’t need to worry.”

Feng Zhuo smiled helplessly: “Gentleman, are you really not going to consider it again?”

Lin Ziran didn’t want to say more. He just jumped up and was about to leave.

Feng Zhuo subconsciously reached out to grab it but only grabbed Lin Ziran’s sleeve. With a ripping sound, he accidentally tore off a piece of the sleeve, and a piece of the green outer robe was torn, revealing a corner of the long robe with dark black patterns inside.

Lin Ziran was startled suddenly. He didn’t expect such an accident to happen. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and disappeared into the streets in the blink of an eye.

Feng Zhuo stared at the sleeve in his hand in a daze. After a moment, an uncertain look appeared in his eyes.

Although it was just a glimpse just now, and it was not very clear in the night, he would never forget the pattern on the sleeve.

But……

How is this possible?

Feng Zhuo frowned.

The reason why he stopped here today was that what he said was half sincere… But it is undeniable that this person knew about his and Qi Xiao’s plan. At such a sensitive and critical moment, it is better to stay here.

After all, Feng Zhuo has not completely trusted Lin Ziran.

It’s not that he doubted Lin Ziran, but he was used to not trusting anyone easily. Instead of relying on the conscience of others, it’s better to keep everything in his own hands.

But he never thought about it…

This person…may be the one they want to kill.

Feng Zhuo’s eyes were complicated, puzzled, and frightened.

If this person was really Lan Junhe, he wouldn’t have to send him the antidote, and he had many opportunities to kill them in the past two days. Could it be that… Lan Junhe had the same idea as him, wanting to paralyze him so that he could catch him and Wuwang Tower in one fell swoop?

Who is it, and who is plotting against whom?

Feng Zhuo was worried. He came to Qi Xiao’s residence but hesitated for a moment and did not go in directly.

Does Qi Xiao know all this?

A breeze blew through the courtyard door late at night, and with a slight sound, the courtyard door was pushed open. A sharp-eyed handsome boy stood there, and his voice was as cold as the night: “You have been standing there for a long time. What do you want to tell me?”

Feng Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young man in front of him.

In a flash, he made a judgment and decided to trust his intuition.

Qi Xiao’s hatred for Youlan Realm and Lan Junhe was not false. Perhaps… Lan Junhe not only deceived himself but also took advantage of Qi Xiao’s trust in him.

Feng Zhuo decided to gamble on this round.

He spoke slowly in a low voice: “Senior Qingyi is also from Youlan Realm, and he just happened to appear at such a timely moment. He even happened to know what poison I was infected with and was able to send me the antidote in time. Have you ever thought about how he knew it?”

Qi Xiao’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said word by word: “You are doubting him.”

Feng Zhuo looked at him and said: “I am just expressing reasonable doubts. You have to know that you and I are now in the same boat. Any mistake may make us lose all our previous efforts and fail miserably.”

Qi Xiao clenched the sword in his hand: “You don’t understand. If it weren’t for him, I would have died long ago.”

Feng Zhuo: “But…”

Qi Xiao interrupted him, his voice cold and resounding: “If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t have to do this.”

Because I can, willingly sacrifice my life.

So much so that, as long as he said a word.

Feng Zhuo did not speak again. He stared at Qi Xiao. The young man was so persistent and stubborn.

Firmly believe in that person.

Trusting that person is like his last belief, something he will never give up.

Feng Zhuo suddenly doubted himself. Could it be that he really saw it wrong? That person might not be Lan Junhe…

However, his appearance was indeed too strange.

There are too many unreasonable and inexplicable things.

Qi Xiao couldn’t see it.

No……

It should be said that Qi Xiao also saw it, but he chose not to ask, chose to believe, and chose to trust the other party unconditionally.

Even if that person is really full of mistakes, once he has determined something, he will only see what he wants to see and believe what he wants to believe…

Qi Xiao didn’t not understand. He just made a choice.

If it was any other situation, he would not continue to ask.

But… this time, he can’t just ignore it.

Because this game is not just about his and Qi Xiao’s lives…

But the layout he had been planning for many years.

He can’t afford to lose.

Feng Zhuo’s eyes were dark, and he opened his lips and slowly said: “I have changed my plan. I will not wait any longer. I will raid the Youlan Realm branch in a quarter of an hour.”

Qi Xiao suddenly raised his eyes but did not ask why.

Feng Zhuo said word by word: “I need you to do something for me. If you go and assassinate Lan Junhe now, they will be caught off guard. When they are distracted by you, I will send troops to encircle and suppress them. This time, Lan Junhe will not be able to escape. Can you do it?”

In the darkness of the night, the two looked into each other’s eyes, neither avoiding nor giving way.

This is a gamble.

Feng Zhuo has made his decision.

Qi Xiao understood that he had no choice but to agree, or perhaps he had no reason to refuse.

Deep down in his heart, he asks himself.

Did you really never doubt it at all?

You really don’t want an answer?

Feng Zhuo had calculated this point. He knew he also wanted to know. He knew he had doubted before, so he forced himself to stop escaping and forced himself to face the truth…

For a long time,

Qi Xiao slowly raised his eyes, his eyes were as cold as ice, he opened his thin lips slightly and uttered one word: “Okay.”

………………

Lin Ziran arrived outside the Youlan Realm branch, hurriedly took off his mask and put it in his arms, and then took off his outer shirt and changed his appearance.

He looked worried.

In the darkness just now, he doesn’t know if Feng Zhuo saw it clearly and whether he could guess his identity…

If Feng Zhuo guessed his identity, would he also doubt Qi Xiao?

In this case, how can the two of them develop feelings?

Lin Ziran felt overwhelmed. He had worked so hard in this world and had managed to hold on until now. Was it going to collapse because of such a small detail?

It’s like you’re finally about to finish a game. Everything goes smoothly at the beginning, but you fail at the last level and lose everything. Who can stand this? It’s better to fail at the beginning!

Lin Ziran paced back and forth, feeling a little irritated. His eyes kept changing. What if he was really exposed…

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fell on the sword in front of him, he slowly drew out the sword, gently brushed the cold sword, a hint of determination appeared on his face… Actually, although it was unexpected, there was a way…

After all, they still have to reach this point.

At this moment, there was a commotion and screams outside. Lin Ziran pushed the door open and walked out, and saw one of his men fell in front of him with blood spitting out from the beating!

The young man in black clothes held a long sword in his hand, and in the whistling night wind, his phoenix eyes were as sharp as a knife, looking straight at him.

Lin Ziran clenched the sword in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: “I haven’t come to find you yet, but you turned around and walked into the trap.”

Qi Xiao didn’t say anything but suddenly approached with a sword in hand, with a resolute determination to move forward without regard for life or death!

The collision of swords made a harsh sound!

When it comes to fighting, the difference in cultivation is not big, but the one who doesn’t care about his life is the one people fear the most.

After a few moves, Lin Ziran was unable to dodge, and his collar was opened, causing the mask he had just put down to fall to the ground with a thud.

Lin Ziran’s expression changed slightly.

Qi Xiao suddenly stopped moving, lowered his eyes, and stared at the mask that fell to the ground, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

Looking at this scene, Lin Ziran took a deep breath. He finally understood that Qi Xiao was not here to kill him today…

The worst-case scenario still happened.

The scene was quiet for about several dozen seconds.

Then Lin Ziran saw Qi Xiao raise his head.

The boy’s face was pale, his eyes were filled with pain and disbelief, and he couldn’t hide his hesitation and helplessness, like a child who had lost his way. He moved his lips slightly and uttered a very soft voice: “Why?”
