Xiao's villa.

After placing the person in the guest room to rest, Xiao Ye pulled up a chair, sat by the bed and looked at Yi Xiu.

Xiao Ye is still a little puzzled until now. He had finished his work in Jiangcheng, and originally planned to have someone pick him up, but just before getting on the train, he suddenly changed his mind and got a train ticket instead to take the train back to Lancheng. .

He didn't have the slightest impression of this matter, but the people under him said that he made the decision himself. Based on his past experience, he didn't refute it. Anyway, it's not like he can't take the train.

But just when he passed by Yi Xiu, he stopped involuntarily. He felt a sense of familiarity from Yi Xiu, and at the same time mixed with several auras that disgusted him.

He followed Yi Xiu subconsciously, and even brought him back to Xiao's house.

Xiao Ye reached out to help Yi Xiu cover the quilt tightly, but his fingers accidentally touched Yi Xiu's arm. Although Yi Xiu was still awake, his brows were tightly frowned.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something in a flash, he pulled Yi Xiu's sleeve away, a large area of ​​burn marks spread all over his arm, although it could be seen that it had been treated, but the treatment method was very rough, just wiped some Ointment to keep the wound from getting worse.

Xiao Ye frowned and his eyes were gloomy. After a while, he stood up and called a private doctor to treat Yi Xiu's injury.

However, following the doctor's return, the look in Xiao Ye's eyes became darker, and he sent the doctor away, falling into deep thought.

Before he left Jiangcheng, he heard that a certain apartment in Jiangcheng caught fire. The fire was so intense that not only the apartment and the owner himself were burned to ashes, but also several apartments next to him were affected.

Of course, this wasn't what concerned him the most.

He is in a high position and knows a lot of things that ordinary people don't know.

For example, those existences hidden in the dark, and their various cruel methods.

A fire is nothing compared to those things.

But if, behind this fire, it has something to do with those existences, he can't help but not care about it.

Xiao Ye walked back to the bed and stared at Yi Xiu's carefully treated wound. Except for the fire in Jiangcheng, Xiao Ye couldn't think of anything else that could be related to Yi Xiu who also left from Jiangcheng for such a serious burn. of.

The attack in Lancheng and all kinds of supernatural events are actually no less than those in Jiangcheng, but Xiao Ye, including his relatives and friends, has never been attacked. Xiao Ye has always been quite puzzled by this.

Before, a family in Lancheng whose strength was comparable to that of the Xiao family all died overnight in their own home. The death conditions were horrific. It is said that blood dripped out of the house along the floor, and the corpses were even more mutilated.

When Yi Xiu woke up, it was already dark outside.

Yi Xiu got up to get dressed, with a sullen face, listening to the system babbling, and kept apologizing to him, saying that he had carelessly forgotten to remind him of the side effects of the medicine.

Yi Xiu heheed twice, is an apology useful?He has long seen the cheating nature of the system. In the past few worlds, he has cheated him several times!It's a good thing he's lucky, otherwise he doesn't know if he can resist it.

Yi Xiu rubbed his forehead, pushed the door out, "It's okay, I don't mind at all. You don't have to feel guilty, just be more careful next time."

Really unable to stand the system's grinding, Yi Xiu comforted it with a few words, and walked towards the stairs.

The guest room he lives in is on the second floor, and Xiao Ye is probably in the study right now. As an outsider, it is really inconvenient for him to go to a place where some important materials may be kept.

First floor living room.

A few servants were cleaning, and a well-dressed young girl was sitting on the sofa, showing good upbringing in every move.

"Uncle Xiao, isn't Brother Ye finished yet?" After waiting for a long time, the girl turned her head slightly and looked at the neatly dressed middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

The man called Uncle Xiao said: "Miss Shen, the Patriarch has been quite busy these days. It's getting late now, why don't I order someone to take you back. When the Patriarch is free, it's not too late for you to come again."

Uncle Xiao has a gentle voice, and when looking at a person with his dark and deep eyes, one can clearly feel his concentration and seriousness. This is a man who is hard to hate.

The girl also knew that Xiao Ye didn't like women who were delicate and ignorant, so she stood up and said with a smile to what Uncle Xiao said, "Well then, I'll come and see Brother Ye when he has time."

As soon as the words were finished, there was only a sound of footsteps coming from upstairs. The girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she turned around quickly, her tone light and pleasantly surprised: "Brother Ye... who are you?"

Yi Xiu looked at the girl whose eyes dimmed in an instant, raised his eyebrows, and walked down quickly.

Uncle Xiao's voice sounded beside the girl: "This gentleman is a guest brought back by the owner. Sir, are you awake?"

Yi Xiu nodded slightly, walked up to the two of them, and said, "Well, just call me Yan Ze. I was bothering your Patriarch in the car before. I wonder where it is?"

Uncle Xiao said: "This is Lancheng, and our Patriarch's surname is Xiao."

Yi Xiu nodded slightly pretending to understand, and said: "Oh, that's it. This..." Yi Xiu looked at Uncle Xiao.

Uncle Xiao: "Xiao Yan."

"Steward Xiao," Yi Xiu said in a gentle voice, "I still have something to do, so I will trouble Housekeeper Xiao to express my gratitude to Patriarch Xiao."

After learning that the Xiao family has never been approached by any dangerous species, Yi Xiu's first thought was not to hide here for three years and wait for the task to be completed, but to leave immediately.

With so many families in Lancheng, how come the Xiao family has been unscathed and developed smoothly.

It's so abnormal.

With an elegant and courteous smile on Xiao Yan's face, he said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Yan, you should tell our Patriarch yourself about this matter. Besides, it's getting late and you have no place to stay in Lancheng. How about Let's talk tomorrow."

Yi Xiu looked at Xiao Yan, always feeling a sense of crisis in the face of danger, and couldn't help but politely refuse: "No, I'm still..."

"What? You don't even need to say thank you to your benefactor, you're leaving?" Before Yi Xiu finished speaking, a cold and deep voice sounded from the second floor.

Yi Xiu's body froze, and there was embarrassment in his eyes. They took him out of the car and treated his wounds. Fortunately, he didn't even say thank you, and was about to leave.It seems to be a bit too much.

Yi Xiu turned around and looked at the tall, slender man with a stern face who was walking downstairs. His lips were parted, but he hadn't spoken yet. He was standing nearby all the time. Yi Xiu regarded him as an airless girl. He walked out and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Ye, are you done?"

The girl's bright and dark almond eyes are full of admiration.

But Xiao Ye kept a cold face, fixed his eyes on Yi Xiu, didn't even look at the girl, and only ordered in a cold voice: "Xiao Yan, see off the guests."

Xiao Yan bent down slightly, and said: "Yes, Patriarch." Turning around, he looked at the girl with unbelievable eyes, and said calmly, "Miss Shen, please."

The girl raised her voice slightly, and said, "Brother Ye, you clearly said before that if I like it..."

Xiao Ye looked at her impatiently, and said in a cold tone: "Did I say that? Xiao Yan, cut off all business dealings with the Shen family from now on. Besides, don't let such irrelevant women come to the Xiao family to hinder my eyes. "

Xiao Yan nodded and motioned to the servant beside him, and the girl was 'invited' out of Xiao's house in a blink of an eye.

Facing the girl's astonished eyes, Xiao Yan could only smile gently, and said: "Miss Shen, I'm really sorry, the time you came is not suitable. After a while, maybe the owner will take back his previous words. Send Miss Shen Go back, don't let outsiders say that our Xiao family is not well-mannered."
