This child cannot be left alive.
Only now did he know why he couldn't stay.
Heaven Destroyer, Solitary Star.
"A Xi, thank you."
Ye Xiaochen retracted his gaze and looked at him.
Helan Xi's expression was clear. Although there was doubt in his eyes, there was no trace of doubt.
Having known Ye Xiaochen for so many years, he understood his character. If he said he didn't know, then he didn't know.
"Xiaochen, I understand Lord Priest's intentions, but this is not something I can accept. Using someone else's life as a wager is not a gentleman's way of doing things. "
Helan Xi's thin lips slightly opened as he said this.
Xiao Ba, who was dressed in white, stood not far from the two of them.
After Xiao Qi left, he had matured quite a bit.
He had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation, except that it was a little louder than usual today.
"You know, my father was never a gentleman."
Ye Xiaochen pursed his lips and smiled.
"…"
Helan Xi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pulled his gaze away and looked at a tree outside the courtyard.
The red flower bloomed like a demonic beast, proudly opening its doors wide.
These flowers were similar to Ye Xiaochen.
Such a joyous and passionate color, when placed in his warm eyes, was unexpectedly somewhat sorrowful.
"A Xi, I know, I'm really sorry for luring you into this trap. "I won't stop you from doing what you want to do …"
Ye Xiaochen turned his head to look at him. That beautiful side view made his heart sink.
Helan Xi didn't blame him, but he felt extremely guilty.
This trap, those who were implicated, were all innocent people.
"When did we repay each other for our wrongdoings …"
Helan Xi lightly said as he pursed his lips.
"A Xi, I really worked hard to get rid of some of your grudges. There's really no way to solve it."
Ye Xiaochen smiled bitterly.
"Xiaochen, I want to bring Gu Mengmeng and Gong Nanling back to the Chenghai."
Helan Xi slowly retracted his gaze and turned to the side. As the sun set, his handsome face was half lit up and half dark.
The shell wind chimes tinkled in the wind on the veranda's eaves.
The voice was graceful and clear.
"Return to the Chenghai?"
Ye Xiaochen was shocked and his pupils contracted.
"A Xi, I know I used you this time to make you …"
"Xiaochen, if you really love Gu Mengmeng, then you shouldn't treat her like this. Even if the child in her womb is a 'Heaven Destroyer,' you should first tell her the truth, and then let her decide whether or not to keep her child … "
Helan Xi's thin lips slightly opened, while his calm voice revealed a hidden anger.
"A Xi, what you said is right. But did it ever occur to you that if you told her the truth, she wouldn't accept it? "
Ye Xiaochen frowned his handsome eyebrows and said in a low voice.
Suddenly, the wind grew stronger and the sun grew colder.
Ding ding dong...
The wind chimes rose and fell.
He was somewhat confused.
"What did not happen, I am not going to say."
Helan Xi put his hands in his pockets, turned around and looked into the distance.
"A Xi, I don't want our relationship to be affected because of this …"
At this point, Ye Xiaochen had no choice.
He was also a pawn in the game.
Ye Tian was his father, but he was also Priest of the Dark Night. What could he do with him?
"Xiaochen, like I said, as long as you're not involved in this, we're still friends."
The wind blew Helan Xi's hair away.
He grew colder and more noble.
In the depths of his eyes, an undisputable sorrow slowly emerged.
"A Xi, since we're still friends, then didn't your words just now …"
Ye Xiaochen felt a sharp pain in his left hand. The white silk band of the crescent moon was stained with a faint red color.
As the 'Mistress of the Dark Liu', he had always been the type to make others nervous and scared, but at this moment, his heart was a little anxious.
Helan Xi said that he would bring Gu Mengmeng back to Chenghai.
Chenghai, that was Gong Nanling's old home.
Not only Ye Tian would definitely not agree, he was also unwilling.
Gu Mengmeng had just started a small business, so she had to stay here to recuperate no matter what.
The orchid garden had been repaired long ago and was waiting for her return.
"Do you think Gu Mengmeng will stay?"
Helan Xi's light words were like a sharp sword that pierced Ye Xiaochen's heart.
Gu Mengmeng didn't want to stay.
He knows.
"She is a child of the Heavenly Fox, so she should have stayed behind."
"Xiaochen, she's also a child of the Gu family."
"But after so many years, the Gu family has ignored her, and they haven't recognized her …"
"Has your father ever run her? Have you met her again? "
Helan Xi and Ye Xiaochen had never spoken to each other in such a 'tit for tat' manner.
"It's not that my father doesn't want to, it's just that Gu Yalan won't allow it."
"Xiaochen, let's not continue …"
After saying that, Helan Xi turned around and went back into the house.
Xiao Ba, who was standing not far away, followed him in.
Ye Xiaochen's eyes were dark, like the ocean's surface at this moment.
He knew that Helan Xi was really angry this time.
That's right, he was so noble and clean. How could he accept such a despicable method?
Ding ding dang dang …
The wind chimes rose and fell.
Ye Xiaochen, who had always been calm and composed, was also confused.
Bada …
The wind blew a string of shell wind chimes, falling to the ground, many of the shell cracks.
Ye Xiaochen turned his head and looked.
Amongst the shattered shells, there was another perfectly intact.
He bent down and picked it up.
He rubbed his fingers together.
[Qing Qing Zi Wu, my heart.]
Inside the shell, an ancient poem was carved.
Helan Xi had personally engraved it ten years ago.
"..."
"Mengmeng, can you eat a little more?"
On the other side, Gong Nanling was sitting in front of Gu Mengmeng's bed after serving her food.2
"I can't eat."
Gu Mengmeng's complexion was a little better, but the anger in her heart was a little deeper.
Ye Xiaochen's last sentence made her feel depressed.
"Just two bites, okay?"
Gong Nanling scooped up some food and brought it to her mouth.
"Gong Nanling, go find Mr. Helan and ask him to take us away from here …"
Gu Mengmeng pushed his hand away, puckered her lips, and said urgently.
"Mengmeng, let's eat first. I'll go find him after we finish eating."
Although Gu Mengmeng's complexion looked much better after drinking the bowl of soup, she was still a little surprised that she had lost too much energy. She would have to rest for at least three days.
Gong Nanling raised his hand again and brought the dish to her mouth.
"Young Master Gong, Lord Priest has already started urging them..."
Without waiting for Gu Mengmeng to speak, Gan Luo walked in.
His expression was much worse than before, because Ye Xiaochen kicked him hard at the entrance of the backyard of 'Lan Zhifontaine'.
It was already fortunate that he could still walk.
"Lord Priest?"
Only then did Gong Nanling remember that Ye Tian told him to go see him after dinner.
"Haven't I finished my meal?"
"Young Master Gong, Lord Priest is someone who keeps his promises."
Gan Luo's words sounded very polite, but it was a deep reminder.
Ye Tian was not to be trifled with.
"Gong Nanling, help me up."
Gu Mengmeng looked at Gan Luo and said coldly.
