When Xue Fanxin heard Xue Batian's words, the corners of her lips curved up. Even though he had not returned to the Dukedom, he had already thought of a way to deal with Li Yaoyao.
“Xin'er small, you must be very scared today. I'll bring you back soon. Let's go, I'll carry you.” Xue Batian leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, gesturing for Xue Fanxin to climb onto his back.
Looking at his not-so-wide back, many memories surfaced in Xue Fanxin's mind. It was this back that had been holding her since she was young, giving her endless love and warmth. No matter what others said about him, no matter how useless he was, this back would forever be his strongest supporter.
In his previous life, Xue Fanxin was an orphan and had no kinship since he was young. At this moment, she was so touched that she almost cried. Her eyes hurt, and she really wanted to cry.
Even though Xue Batian was not his biological grandfather, why did he feel an inexplicable familiarity towards him?
Xue Batian bowed for a long time but did not feel Xue Fanxin climbing. She turned to look and saw that her eyes were red as if she was about to cry. He became anxious. “Xin'er Little Grandpa, why are you crying? Are you not healthy? Quickly tell me.”
Xue Fanxin pounced into Xue Batian's embrace and hugged her. Feeling the warmth of his arm, he said, "Grandfather, thank you!"
Thank you for being nice to me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for protecting me. Thank you for being tolerant of me.
Thank ye…
“Foolish boy, why are you saying these things all of a sudden? Do you feel unwell anywhere?” Xue Batian used her rough and old hands to gently caress Xue Fanxin's head, her loving heart wrapping around Xue Fanxin everywhere.
“Grandfather, I'm not feeling well. I'm doing fine. I suddenly understood a lot of things. Grandpa, I will definitely be devoted to you in the future.”
Xue Fanxin said these words not because of the host but because it came from her own heart. As he looked at Xue Batian and felt her boundless love for him, he decided to devote himself to her.
"Aiyo, my Little Xin'er became wise!" Xue Batian smiled so wide that her old eyes narrowed. He's very happy.
"Grandfather, let's go back."
"Alright, Grandpa will bring you back."
“Grandfather, I'm an adult. I don't need you to carry me like you did when I was young. I can walk on my own. Let's hurry back. I'm hungry." Xue Fanxin held onto Xue Batian's arm and dragged her away.
Xue Batian smiled even happier and let Xue Fanxin pull her.
He was different than usual today. It seemed like he was truly an adult and became wise.
The pair of grandfathers and grandchildren walked together and slowly disappeared into the distance. However, they did not know that at the top of a nearby mountain, someone had noticed them and listened to their every word and action.
In fact, Ye Jiushang never really left. After leaving the cave, he went to the nearest peak and saw Xue Fanxin.
At this moment, a young man suddenly appeared behind Ye Jiushang and knelt on one leg. He said respectfully, “Your Majesty, the boss already knows that you woke up early. They sent people to take you back.”
"How long have I been sleeping?" Ye Jiushang asked coldly with his back facing the man.
“Your Majesty, you slept for nine months, nine days, and nine hours. You wake up half a year earlier than expected. Maybe because you woke up early so the boss really wants you back.”
“Moment three nine, the power of nirvana.. Could it be that all of this has really been destined by heaven?”
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"There's nothing. Go and investigate the granddaughter of the Duke of Nanling Kingdom, Xue Fanxin, for me. I want to know everything about him.” Ye Jiushang looked at her slender and beautiful hands. The corner of his mouth slightly curved as he showed a mysterious smile.
There was actually the power of nirvana in his blood.. This Xue Fanxin.
In Nanling Empire, inside the Duke's Residence, a young and beautiful woman was cutting flowers in her room.
His personal servant suddenly ran in and said frantically, “Nona, bad news! Xue Fanxin is back!”
When the woman heard this news, she suddenly could not control the power of the scissors in her hand and cut the delicate flowers into pieces. His expression was very ugly, and he was shocked. He asked in disbelief, “How is this possible? He didn't die after falling off a cliff that high?”
“Xiao Tao, are you wrong? How could Xue Fanxin not die?”
This woman was Li Yaoyao, the girl who had tricked Xue Fanxin into going to Tian Huang Mountain and pushing her off the cliff. He was a cousin sent to live in the Duke's Residence.
His assistant, Xiao Tao, was a confidant who followed him to the Duke's Residence. Here, Xiao Tao was the only person he could trust.
“Nona, I've repeatedly confirmed that Xue Fanxin really isn't dead. He wasn't even hurt at all. He was eating with the Duke!”
Li Yaoyao was so frightened that her face turned pale. The scissors in his hand fell to the ground, and he staggered, almost losing his balance.
He ended up tricking Xue Fanxin into going to Tian Huang Mountain under the Duke's nose, and then he tried hard to push her down the cliff.
In the end, Xue Fanxin did not die but returned. In fact, he wasn't hurt. This news destroyed him greatly.
If the Duke knew that it was she who had pushed Xue Fanxin off the cliff, would she still be able to remain as the Young Miss of the Duke's Residence?
That's not possible.
“Xiao Tao, did Xue Fanxin say something in front of the Duke?” Li Yaoyao asked in panic.
“I don't know, but I heard that the Duke is in a very good mood and is talking and laughing with Xue Fanxin.”
If the Duke knew that he was the one who pushed Xue Fanxin off the cliff, the first thing he would do after returning to the residence was to settle matters with her. He would definitely not be in a good mood.
Did Xue Fanxin not tell anyone that she had pushed him off the cliff?
Right, Xue Fanxin is stupid and silly. Even if he had been persecuted, he did not know how to explain it. What makes him panic?
Li Yaoyao adjusted her mindset and calmed herself down. After taking a deep breath, he said, “Xiao Tao, invite Young Master Yi Tian into the hall. Tell him that the Duke is looking for him.”
"Miss, what do you want to do?" Xiao Tao asked in agitation. For some reason, he had a premonition as if something bad was going to happen.
“Xue Fanxin likes Yi Tian, and Yi Tian likes me. Duke Zhenguo valued Yi Tian and practically treated him as his adopted son. As long as Yi Tian existed, Xue Fanxin would be even more gullible. Even if he comes back to life, I have a way to make him swallow this problem and never tell anyone.”
Xue Fanxin was a fool and a useless person who could not cultivate. Why did he receive all the Duke's attention?
As for her, Li Yaoyao, she was naturally beautiful and had extraordinary talent. However, he was an orphan who had no choice but to live under the roof of others in the Duke's Residence.
If he could get half of the Duke's love, he would long be famous. Why would she have to confine herself in her room every day to look after flowers?
If Xue Fanxin died, perhaps the Duke would turn his attention to her. Later then…
But Xue Fanxin was lucky. He did not die even after falling from such a high cliff…
But it doesn't matter. After all, Xue Fanxin was extremely stupid. If he couldn't kill her this time, he could continue next time.
What Li Yaoyao did not know was that from now on, she would never have such an opportunity again.
When Xue Fanxin returned to the Duke's Residence, she immediately started eating hot delicacies. Because of Xue Batian's love, even if she was stupid and stupid, no one in the Duke's Residence would dare to show her disrespect.
Of course, some people are just pretentious on the surface and are actually cunning behind his back. The most typical example was Li Yaoyao. On the surface, he called her a sister, but he plotted against her in secret. Especially in front of that person named Yi Tian, he was always acting.
Yi Tian was fascinated by Li Yaoyao's pretentious actions and considered her a goddess.
“Xin'er small, this is your favorite golden roasted chicken feet. It was just baked. Hurry and eat.” Xue Batian put the foot that the servants had just brought to the dining table in front of Xue Fanxin, watching her eat it happily.
“Wow... my favorite roasted chicken feet.” Looking at his favorite dish, Xue Fanxin's eyes sparkled. He held the chicken leg in his hand and bit it. The manners of his desk are rough but have a unique elegance. He obviously did not have proper etiquette, but it made people feel that it was very pleasing to the eye, and they could not find anything wrong with it.
At this moment, a simple blue-robed young man entered. He did not even look at Xue Fanxin and ignored her existence, directly walking to Xue Batian. He asked in a non-degrading or arrogant manner, "Mister Duke, may I ask why you called me here?"
"Did I call you?" Xue Batian asked in confusion. Her memory hasn't been very good lately, so she's quite forgetful. He did not remember if he called Yi Tian.
Maybe he did, maybe not.
Xue Fanxin had been with Xue Batian ever since she came back. He clearly remembered what Xue Batian had done, so he was sure he had not called Yi Tian.
This matter is very suspicious!
Yi Tian thought that Xue Batian did not remember, so he did not think too much about it. After all, he knew that Xue Batian had a bad memory.
“You may forget, Duke. Its alright. Once you remember, you can send someone to call me again”.
"Well, I'll ask someone to call you when I remember." Xue Batian felt that she had completely forgotten something. He didn't think too much about it.
Xue Fanxin would not let this matter go so easily. He bit the chicken leg happily and said casually, “Grandfather, when did you call Big Brother Yi Tian? Why don't I remember?”
Hearing Xue Fanxin's seemingly unintentional words, Xue Batian's mind instantly became clear, and she recalled a few things. He was now convinced that he did not call her. He asked puzzledly, "Yi Tian, who said I called you?"
“Xiao Tao came to tell me that you are looking for me,” Yi Tian said straightforwardly. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Tao was Li Yaoyao's personal servant, and her status in the Duke's Residence was the lowest. Normally, he could not even see the Duke himself, so he had no right to be his envoy.
If the Duke wanted to say something, he would not ask Xiao Tao, who had nothing to do with him, to send a message.
What happened today is not that simple.
Xiao Tao was Li Yaoyao's servant, so he was definitely on her orders.
Did Li Yaoyao call him here?
Yi Tian thought harder and looked at Xue Fanxin, who was eating chicken feet. He soon found the answer.
Yaoyao definitely hoped that she could immediately resolve this matter with Xue Fanxin.
“Miss Fanxin, I know you like me, but you're not my type. I hope you won't bother me in the future, okay?” Yi Tian spoke clearly in front of Xue Batian and directly rejected Xue Fanxin
Xue Fanxin was chewing on chicken feet when she heard Yi Tian's sudden 'rejection. He almost choked.
"Ohuk…"
