Chapter 1370 - 1367: You Didn’t Know? (Part 2)
Chapter 1370: Chapter 1367: You Didn’t Know? (Part 2)
At the door, Bai Bing merely glanced at Shangguan Nishang heading toward Lin Xi and then turned around and went back.
From the sounds inside, it seemed they resumed playing the game.
Lin Xi thought about it; this didn’t match the state of affairs between the two.
Gazing again at Shangguan Nishang.
Seeing her expression, it was probably because of this.
The two rivaling women had likely long formed a state of mutual admiration.
Otherwise, both being so intelligent, it’s improbable they’d keep contesting over school affairs till now.
Actually, it was as Lin Xi thought.
Moreover, the two women had many similarities in life.
Like how neither of them had many friends.
This was inevitable, not just because both women were too outstanding, making it hard for others to stand beside them.
More crucially, both were rather hard to get along with.
One was frigidity personified, the other was irresistibly alluring.
Furthermore, their school days from childhood to adulthood were sparse.
They mostly followed their elders, gaining various experiences.
Shangguan Nishang walked into the yard, naturally noticing the giant bear early on.
The Ginseng King, was also spotted.
Originally, the Ginseng King wanted to hide in the soil.
But Lin Xi shook his head, signaling not to.
Thus, Shangguan Nishang looked at the giant bear and Ginseng King, feeling a bit dumbfounded.
How did Lin Xi’s place turn into a zoo in such a short time?
And such size?
What’s that beside the giant bear?
Looking like a child?
But of course, she could still discern it’s a plant!
Ginseng or something.
She simply hadn’t considered it.
Because, in her mind, a ginseng of this size was certainly impossible.
Not even in novels did they get this big!
Astonishment aside, she wasn’t scared at all.
Even if she had no strength at all, just a regular person.
Because Lin Xi was there.
And this big and small duo was clearly looked after by Lin Xi.
So what’s there to fear?
Would Lin Xi harm her?
She shook her head, surely not.
If Lin Xi wanted to harm her, he could do so anytime.
No need to choose a spot.
After spacing out for a while, she didn’t pay much attention to the big and small duo.
She came here with important matters.
"Could we talk in the car?" she looked at Lin Xi and asked.
Lin Xi replied, "It’s late at night; why not chat inside the house!"
"After all, being alone with a man and a woman, it’s not good if we’re seen!"
Shangguan Nishang, "....."
She was a bit speechless; what was this bastard thinking?
"Are you actually worried about being seen and people talking?" she countered.
Lin Xi nodded, "Of course!"
"I am a man who cares about reputation. You don’t care; I can’t do anything about that!"
"Besides, the experience in the car isn’t as good as inside the house."
"The positions you can take inside a house are no match for a car!"
Shangguan Nishang, "...."
Honestly, this conversation just couldn’t continue.
This bastard was utterly ridiculous.
Yes, definitely done on purpose.
"I’m not going inside the house!" she still refused, "You know why!"
"I can’t get along with Bai Bing!"
"Coming here is already my biggest effort!"
Lin Xi pondered for a moment and didn’t say much else, just followed her toward the car.
Just, while walking, he said, "You better not do anything to me!"
"Driving or anything in the complex isn’t good influence!"
"You should know, I’m the most civilized resident in this complex!"
Shangguan Nishang was too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense.
This guy hadn’t changed at all from before.
Still couldn’t help teasing with his mouth.
Moreover, she didn’t dare to tease Lin Xi like before.
Since knowing this guy had absolutely no boundaries, she had to change her own ways.
"Speak up!" Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat, "Do you want to get straight to it?"
"Or have some foreplay?"
Shangguan Nishang directly ignored his words, speaking for herself, "I have a favor to ask!"
"You’re being unreasonable!" Lin Xi laughed, "Forcing me to take action, you should know, you’re the one seeking me today!"
"You’re asking for my help!"
"It’s like this, my family has been facing some crisis lately!" She continued, "The four Grand Elders can’t hold on any longer!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t be seeking you!"
Her expression contained some gloom, even powerlessness.
"Crisis?" Lin Xi said softly.
This time he didn’t joke around anymore.
Joking more would be too much.
Plus, the crisis caught his attention.
A family with four Innate Elders, yet still facing a crisis.
To know, such a family could definitely be considered one of the top domestic families.
After all, that was Innate.
Innate!
Be it domestically or abroad, few families possessed it.
Especially in this era of Spiritual Qi depletion, the emergence of Innate is incredibly tough, even a dream for many.
They can absolutely be considered the most powerful people.
"What crisis?"
"The four Grand Elders can’t hold on?"
"Isn’t this, rather exaggerated?"
"Besides, why haven’t I heard anything!"
He spoke the last sentence without realizing.
He hadn’t been paying attention to the Shangguan family affairs.
Even if he had Dark Night Sect, with many sources, he hadn’t specifically instructed them about the Shangguan family affairs.
Thus, even if the Shangguan family was facing issues, he truly had no clue.
Couldn’t know.
Unless news comes one day, or someone suddenly mentions it.
But he rarely goes racing around, hence has no chance of hearing Shangguan family news.
Shangguan Nishang certainly didn’t know these details.
So she was curious too.
But seeing Lin Xi’s manner, wasn’t lying.
Initially, she always thought Lin Xi, being so powerful, should know what’s happening with her family.
As for why he hadn’t helped.
Guessing it was due to concerns about the other’s strength.
About this, she didn’t blame Lin Xi.
Life is the most important.
Understanding this is easy.
Just she hadn’t thought, someone as strong as Lin Xi could still be wary.
Yet considering the strength of the opponents, even Lin Xi, being so strong, would have concerns!
Otherwise, why hadn’t he offered help all along.
Now she realized this bastard truly didn’t know.
"You truly don’t know, haven’t heard a bit?" she couldn’t help asking again.
Lin Xi nodded, genuinely unaware.
Shangguan Nishang’s hesitance faded a lot, she came to Lin Xi this time as last resort.
If it hadn’t reached such a point, she wouldn’t have come seeking.
Now, hearing Lin Xi speak like this, she felt the burden inside lessen considerably.
"It’s like this!" she pondered for a bit and began to explain.
