Chapter 2603

“Of course I don’t believe it, but,” Baili Xia looked at him, her expression somewhat solemn, “I’m just afraid… others might believe it.”

Xiaoyao furrowed his brows. If something like this had happened before, he wouldn’t have bothered to explain.

But now, at the Bei family, and just after a kidnapping incident.

Everyone’s attention is on this girl, isn’t it?

If he doesn’t explain, others might cause trouble for this girl.

“Brother, someone said that you yourself claimed you went to the back mountain to find Bei Zicheng, is it true?”

“Yes.”

Baili Xia’s calm heart rippled again: “What’s going on? Did you find Bei Zicheng?”

Xiaoyao shook his head: “No, I should have taken Guisu with me.”

He was feeling a bit gloomy after coming down the mountain yesterday, and couldn’t find Bei Zicheng even after circling around.

After all, tracking people in the mountains like this is not his forte.

If he had taken Guisu, he could definitely have found Bei Zicheng and given him a good lesson.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t find him, otherwise it would be even harder to explain.”

Baili Xia breathed a sigh of relief, “When are you leaving?”

“In a while.”

“Alright, I’ll see you off.”

…

After breakfast, Xiaoyao carried his luggage and prepared to leave.

Baili Xia accompanied him, and the two walked out of the hall chatting and laughing.

Just stepping out of the courtyard, suddenly a dozen people blocked them at the entrance.

“Mr. Mu Xiaoyao, you can’t leave.”

Baili Xia glanced at these people. It was obvious that they weren’t from the same group.

Their outfits were divided into two groups; a few were Qingyue’s people, while others were from unknown origins.

The person speaking was one of these others.

Baili Xia frowned, displeased: “What do you mean by blocking us here?”

Knowing the man next to her didn’t look happy, she decided to communicate with them first.

If she let Brother handle it, it might lead to more misunderstandings.

The person stiffly replied, “We’re just following orders from above to wait here, you’ll know soon enough.”

After speaking, he signaled to the people beside him. They immediately spread out, completely blocking the entrance.

Qingyue’s followers seemed to be acting separately, merely standing symbolically on either side.

The cold aura from Xiaoyao’s body instantly spread, and he sternly shouted, “Get out of the way.”

Ignoring the people ahead, he strode forward.

But they had no intention of letting him pass, drawing retractable batons from their thighs.

Even though facing Xiaoyao, who exuded a chilling presence, was scary, they had orders they couldn’t disobey.

“Brother.”

Baili Xia softly called, trying to stop him.

But in the blink of an eye, Xiaoyao was already among them.

Those people raised their arms, blocking his path with their batons.

“You cannot pass.”

As soon as the words fell, there was a cry, and the person blocking Xiaoyao was kicked and sent flying.

Watching the figure writhing on the ground, Xiaoyao’s lips curled coldly.

“Girl, no need to see me off, I’ll go myself.”

The rest of them, seeing how formidable he was, felt somewhat afraid.

No one dared to step forward to block him, they just stood holding their batons at a distance.

One of them said, “Quick, go report.”

Another person realized and immediately dashed off like the wind.

Xiaoyao took a couple of steps forward, then suddenly stopped.

He turned back, looked at Baili Xia, and there was a trace of complexity in his eyes.

“Girl, why don’t you come with me?”
