Chapter 302 The old man is exposed, but he doesn’t admit it
What's more, Li Nian and Jiang Yuxia are not the original two children. They are just people who were innocently dragged into the chess game.
Xuanhe slowly raised his eyes, and under his thin eyelids, there was a hint of playful smile, and his handsome face was not without sarcasm.
In the end, God is powerless.
He stretched out his long legs casually, resting his head on the bamboo behind him, looking leisurely at the mischievous little girl inside.
However, after seeing Li Nian's next behavior, Xuanhe suddenly spat out the wine he had just swallowed, and he wiped the wine off his chin with his sleeve.
She looked at Li Nian in surprise. She really underestimated Li Nian's clever ideas. She searched the house inside and out.
Half a minute later, holding a scroll that he had to be very careful to open, and a few books...
He read the banned books when he was young and naive.
He sat in the yard and watched with a swagger. His face was distorted. He was struggling to make a choice between saving his face and being forced to appear in front of Li Nian.
As Li Nian's fair fingertips flipped through those unspeakable banned books, Xuanhe made a quick decision.
He strode towards the barrier and stepped forward without hesitation.
Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you want to leave your innocence in the world.
People can't just throw away their dignity for the sake of their lives.
He stepped into the barrier with one foot, then stuck his head in and shouted:
"Put down my things, what are you looking at, little kid?"
As he spoke, he moved his fingertips lightly, and with a light flick of his spiritual power, he hooked everything on the bamboo chair over.
Li Nian's eyebrows were curved, and his clear and transparent eyes flashed with a bit of cunning. After hearing the familiar voice, his smile deepened.
When Xuanhe tried to take the thing away, she quickly held the scroll tightly in her arms.
She raised her head and looked at the slightly curious posture of the person in front of her, shook the scroll in her hand, and smiled like a little fox.
"Senior, why don't you come in? This posture is really indecent, what do you think?"
Xuanhe: “…”
After staring at Li Nian for a while, Xuanhe took a deep breath, gave up resistance, entered the barrier, and sat down opposite Li Nian with a swagger.
"Hold it well. If even a tiny bit of it is damaged, I won't forgive you." He gritted his teeth and said
Upon hearing this, Li Nian subconsciously held the scroll in her arms. Since this scroll was so important, it was even more to her liking.
"Then please answer my question properly, Senior. First, why did you bring me here?" Li Nian asked.
Xuanhe's eyes narrowed, his brain working rapidly, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse. He pretended to be angry and said
"My little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss my heir, okay?"
Li Nian raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him deeply with her eyes. She did not refute when she heard it. After all, she would know it soon.
"Of course." Li Nian then asked, "May I know your name, Senior?"
Xuanhe's eyebrows jumped, and his hands curled up nervously under his sleeves. He was a venerable man who had experienced everything, but he was sweating profusely when asked by Li Nian.
"Why are you asking these questions? I'm just a nobody who has luckily mastered the art of talismans." He said calmly.
Li Nian curled his lips, a smile rippled at the corners of his lips, and with a slight movement of his hand, he gently opened the scroll in his hand.
"If I'm not blind, this scroll depicts my master, Venerable Taiji. So, Senior, are you devoted to my master and regard this scroll as a treasure?"
"…" Xuanhe's pupils suddenly shrank, and his brain froze for a moment. Then he remembered to scold, "Don't be rude to Venerable Taiji. Don't be disrespectful."
Li Nian looked at the man's anxious look, a little surprised, she continued
"I'm not being disrespectful to my master, but I'm afraid it's even more inappropriate for you to be holding his portrait and looking at it every day, isn't it?"
Xuanhe stood up, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and turned his back, obviously speechless.
Li Nian lowered his eyes, losing his patience to deal with him, and simply took out his cloud-hair brush and said lightly:
"I know even without you telling me that the Yunhao Brush is a magical instrument often used by Xuanhe the Venerable, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xuanhe's tall body stiffened suddenly. After a few moments of silence, he finally turned around and looked at Li Nian, knowing that he could no longer hide it.
"So this is the reason you used to force me out? Knowing that I'm a venerable, why are you still being so disrespectful?"
Li Nian raised his eyelids to look, a smile appearing at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "But the Venerable abducted me here without a word, and he doesn't want to see me, so I can only resort to this last resort."
Xuan He snorted coldly. Li Nian was definitely not holding it in. It didn't matter if she knew Xuan He's identity as a venerable.
"Why doesn't Your Excellency allow me to enter the palace? Is it because of the Yuan family members in the palace?" Li Nian asked bluntly.
Xuanhe was slightly stunned, and cold sweat almost appeared on his forehead. He thought that Li Nian could guess a little bit, but he never expected that she guessed it exactly.
"Stop imagining that." He said this dryly.
A complex look flashed across Li Nian's lowered eyes, and she was certain in her heart that Xuanhe Zunzun was the old man.
Ever since the Beast Taming Sect gave her wine, she had a vague suspicion that the person in front of her was acting like the old man.
Or perhaps, she had deliberately given him the wine as a gift, just to test him.
A self-deprecating arc appeared at the corner of her lips. No wonder she felt vaguely familiar with this senior. In addition, they had been together for six years in their previous life.
Even if the old man turned into ashes, she would still be able to recognize him.
"Old man?"
After a long silence, Li Nian looked up at Xuanhe and gave her a soft smile, the same smile he had ten years ago.
Xuanhe's heart suddenly sank, and then his mind went blank for a moment. He suppressed the subconscious reply that was almost in his throat.
His expression changed several times, like an offended superior, and he said sternly
"Have I been too indulgent with you? You are so outspoken and have no sense of etiquette."
Li Nian tilted his head and chuckled softly, "Old man, when Yu Xia and I caught you drinking secretly before, you used anger to cover it up."
“…” Xuanhe’s mouth twitched, and he made up his mind not to admit it.
Coincidentally, at this moment, there was a fluctuation from the barrier, and a powerful force forcibly tore open this space and then entered here.
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, but ignored the person who came. His clear and picturesque eyes stared at Xuan He, trying to force Xuan He to admit it.
Xuanhe extended his spiritual sense and took a quick look. The boss didn't show any anger at having his territory stepped on. Instead, he showed a hint of relief.
Looking at Xuanhe's expression, Li Nian suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly ran into the house, using the Wind-Stepping Technique to the extreme.
Xuanhe let out a light click of his tongue. In his eyes, every movement of Li Nian was slowed down several times. He easily sucked the person back to his side with one hand.
With a thought, the barrier opened a hole and he skillfully threw the person out.
