Chapter 1378: Chapter 1377: What Is He Doing Here

In the lobby downstairs, Beisitian was drinking milk tea; the combination of black tea and fresh milk, with just a bit of sugar, tasted rich and mellow.

"Don’t take it to heart, there’s always going to be such a process." Beisitian said.

Wei Zhongxun knew exactly which matter she was talking about. At her words, he lowered his head. "I thought I was being very cautious, and yet I was tricked by a child."

He paused, then added, "If Xiao Zhi were here, this definitely wouldn’t have happened."

His voice was very calm, but the frustration in his tone was impossible to conceal.

Cao Mei and Mango are young, and were beguiled while knowing nothing; but what about him?

The situation with Cao Mei and Mango is far too special; even in the small courtyard only a few people know, and he, being one of those few, shows how much Beisitian trusts him.

And yet he slipped up. Hearing how perilous that brief experience was after Cao Mei and Mango went out, Wei Zhongxun fell even more silent.

If... if Cao Mei and Mango hadn’t been so quick-witted, if they didn’t have such deep blessings and no one to help them, then what they would be facing right now—Wei Zhongxun could imagine it.

Wei Zhongxun let out a heavy breath, bracing both elbows on his knees, his head hanging down.

Beisitian set down her teacup, her gaze turning distant.

"They have to go through it sooner or later. In the past I protected them too much; in truth they’re no worse than Little Rui."

But she didn’t want them to go through what Little Rui went through. That was too terrifying.

Perhaps for all kinds of reasons, her protection had twisted into what it is now.

Canary...

When she heard the child say that, it felt as if her heart had been pricked.

This incident was truly dangerous, but it also let a great weight drop from Beisitian’s heart. If the two children can understand the peril in all of this and understand each other, then a lot of hurt can be avoided.

However, as they grow up, this matter will bring the two of them heavier and heavier pressure.

"Master, are you really going to take Cao Mei and Mango with you tomorrow?" Wei Zhongxun asked.

He felt it was too risky.

Beisitian let out a quiet sigh. "Maybe all the methods I’ve used so far have been too conservative, so there hasn’t been much progress even now. The appearance of that child from the Mi Family made me think about giving it a try."

Super clans may have the arrogance of super clans, but as long as their interests align, Qingyu and the Mi Family may not be unable to form an alliance.

Beisitian had such an idea in mind, but as for the specifics, she would still have to see how things went tomorrow. As for what that aunt wants from her, she still couldn’t be entirely sure of her guess.

Beisitian was a little absent-minded. In her heart, she was holding onto some hope; although that hope failed every single time, she still couldn’t help but harbor it.

Seeing Beisitian lost in thought, Wei Zhongxun’s gaze shifted, and he noticed a figure appear on the surveillance monitor. That person seemed to be from the Cloud Sea Sect.

"Master." He called out softly.

Beisitian looked up and saw the person on the surveillance screen.

Gu Haiqing.

When the exchange conference first started and she saw this person, for a moment she even forgot what he was called, only remembering his name again later.

Gu Haiqing, a man from the Cloud Sea Sect—when the Ancient Families first began to appear, he appeared as well.

It was also he who spoke of the Bei Family’s secret history.

She remembered that Gu Haiqing had said the Cloud Sea Sect had come out into the world to look for someone. At the time, he hadn’t clearly stated who they meant to restrain, but thinking back now, the person they were looking for should be meant to restrain the Nie Family.

What has he come for?
