Si Jianye let out a muffled grunt, a surge of annoyance rising within him. "This Lord is not here."
The moment the male voice faded, Feng Ninghe also broke free from the man's embrace, her cheeks burning.
Axi instantly broke into a radiant smile and boldly pushed the door open. "King of the Underworld, you jest. If you are not here, who is answering me? Could someone possibly be impersonating you?"
The room door was pushed open.
Axi also saw the scene in the room at that moment.
Feng Ninghe was already seated on a chair, her back to Axi, her expression unreadable.
Si Jianye stood perfectly still, his expression grim.
The atmosphere in the room was excruciatingly awkward.
Seeing Si Jianye's dark face, a sense of foreboding washed over Axi. He hastily retreated, "I suddenly remembered there are still some matters to attend to. I'll go take care of them first!"
The atmosphere was unusual; if he wanted to stay out of trouble, his only option was to flee!
"Wait."
Just as Axi took a step to leave, a female voice called out to him. "Since you're here, sit down and let's discuss some matters."
Si Jianye was going to the Dragon Realm, and Feng Ninghe would eventually go there too. She had many things to handle and needed to settle these affairs properly before leaving the Lin Kingdom.
Axi's body stiffened slightly. He subtly appraised Si Jianye, seemingly hesitating whether to stay.
Si Jianye's face remained grim and silent, clearly indicating his displeasure.
He had just taken two sips of his drink when meddlers descended from the heavens, disturbing his good mood.
How could his mood be anything but foul?
Seeing Axi's slightly apprehensive expression, Feng Ninghe smiled. "The King of the Underworld is heading to the Dragon Realm. Some matters need to be prepared in advance."
Her words dispelled Axi's doubts at that moment.
Axi then boldly stepped into the room, constantly muttering, "King of the Underworld, the Dragon Realm is fraught with danger, and no one knows what we'll face. You should let me accompany you to the Dragon Realm. With Grandpa Luo here, Miss will be safe."
Even Si Jianye was clueless about the Dragon Realm, so naturally, he wouldn't dare bring Si Xin Xin with him.
The Dragon Realm harbored too many unspeakable secrets; he couldn't allow Si Xin Xin to be harmed in any way.
"Indeed, let Axi accompany you."
Feng Ninghe also spoke at that moment, "There are still many matters to attend to in the Lin Kingdom. I won't be leaving the Lin Kingdom anytime soon. Having Axi with you will be of great help."
Since they were embarking on an unknown path, thorough preparation was essential.
Axi eagerly patted his chest. "King of the Underworld, I am very useful. Having me by your side will definitely help a lot."
Si Jianye didn't speak immediately. Instead, his gaze calmly fell upon Feng Ninghe. "If even you leave, who will take care of Xin Xin? The more people by Xin Xin's side, the better."
Neither Feng Ninghe nor Si Jianye wished for Si Xin Xin to suffer any harm.
Even they themselves didn't fully understand what the Dragon Realm was, so how could they be willing to risk taking Si Xin Xin with them?
Feng Ninghe's eyes also shifted at that moment. "Axi, after we leave the Lin Kingdom, I will instruct Master to take good care of Xin Xin. You go to the First Sect to look after Xin Xin."
With the First Sect, Grandpa Luo, and Axi, they could leave with peace of mind.
Axi's facial features were tightly knitted together, a look of wanting to speak but hesitating.
He wanted to accompany Si Jianye, but thinking that Si Xin Xin still needed someone to look after her, he bit his tongue and swallowed his thoughts.
After a long while, Axi sighed as if he had made up his mind. "Fine. I'll go to the First Sect to stay with Miss until you return."
What they didn't know was that a small figure was quietly standing outside the room.
Si Xin Xin, with her bright, large eyes, pricked up her ears, listening to the commotion inside the room.
She had originally woken up to use the restroom and, upon seeing Axi enter her father's room, had come closer.
Who knew she would overhear these words...
"By the way."
Feng Ninghe changed the subject, turning her gaze to Si Jianye. "Why do you want to go to the Dragon Realm? What is it that you desire there?"
Facing the question, Si Jianye's expression remained as usual.
He casually picked up a cup of hot tea, as if contemplating whether to tell the truth.
When his gaze fell upon Feng Ninghe, he finally spoke. "I was found by my master when I was still a baby and raised by him. My origins have always been a mystery. The Dragon Realm can unravel this mystery."
He had been exceptionally talented since childhood, possessing extraordinary aptitude.
His parents could not have been ordinary people.
But why was he abandoned?
If not for his master, it was questionable whether he would have survived to this day.
Feng Ninghe then understood why he was so determined to go to the Dragon Realm.
She calmly nodded, indicating her understanding. "Since you want to go, then go."
Axi gently stroked his chin, his face full of thought. "King of the Underworld, you were born at the Nascent Soul stage. Who would bear to abandon such talent? I say there must have been villains at play."
His parents, who could give birth to the exceptionally gifted Si Jianye, must have been extraordinary.
Over these countless years, Si Jianye had also secretly searched for his birth parents.
Unfortunately, he had found nothing.
Si Jianye instinctively looked up at the window, his cool male voice slowly emerging. "Perhaps my parents are not on the Xuanzhou Continent."
He once again thought of the face in the mirror, identical to his own.
Only the Dragon Realm could clarify his origins.
Axi nodded repeatedly beside him, agreeing. "The King of the Underworld is right. Otherwise, there would have been no news whatsoever over these countless years."
Someone as talented as Si Jianye would be highly sought after anywhere, so who would be willing to abandon him?
Si Jianye had revealed his origins, yet no one dared to claim him.
Feng Ninghe quietly gazed at the man before her, her clear female voice slowly falling. "Si Jianye, you must live to wait for me."
The firm female voice reached him, and Si Jianye chuckled dismissively. The smile on his handsome face lost its coldness, replaced by a rare gentleness. "Don't worry, even in the Dragon Realm, no one will understand this Lord." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
No one dared to deny his arrogance, for he had the capital to be so presumptuous.
Moreover, the puppets of the Dragon Realm not only didn't attack him but even submitted to him. What was there for him to fear?
Their conversation didn't last long.
When Feng Ninghe returned to the room, Si Xin Xin was sleeping soundly.
Seeing the sleeping Si Xin Xin, her heart couldn't help but warm. She lay down next to Si Xin Xin.
What she didn't know was that the moment she lay down, the soundly sleeping Si Xin Xin opened her eyes.
Si Xin Xin's eyeballs rolled around in her sockets, a hint of deep meaning subtly appearing in her eyes.
Her father and mother were both going to the Dragon Realm, so how could she stay alone at the First Sect?
Though she was young, don't even think about deceiving her!
