Chapter 1205

Every word spoken by Dongfang Jin was overwhelmingly shocking, leaving Baili Xia at a loss for how to process it all.

Although she had some speculations when she previously asked about the Bei Family, hearing it from Baili Xia was one thing.

But if it’s true that only the Bei Family’s blood can act as an antidote, does that imply that her origins are indeed related to the Bei Miao Bei Family?

However, isn’t this matter…a little too far-fetched?

Is it all based on the fact that her blood can act as an antidote?

It’s…simply too reckless.

After pondering, Baili Xia shook her head vigorously: “I don’t know, maybe I need to go back and ask my mentor.”

“Hmm, he must know something, but previously he…” Nangong Xu must be aware of something, he just hadn’t discussed it with Baili Xia.

Dongfang Jin wasn’t sure if he could disclose this information.

This young lady is still too naive; not everything is black and white, and he can’t explain it to her.

There’s a chance that Mu Xiaojiu might be aware of something too, after all, Nangong Xu is his man.

After a pause, Dongfang Jin continued.

“Regardless, I can see that everyone truly cares about you. You can at least trust that they have no intention of harming you.”

At the very least, they wouldn’t actually hurt her, that much Dongfang Jin could guarantee.

But whether they would use her for some ulterior purpose…it’s too soon to say.

“If they still conceal anything from you, you can tell me, and I will help you investigate it.”

He can’t ensure the motives of others, but at the very least, he can be sure that he is wholeheartedly on her side.

Worried that Baili Xia might not be taking his words to heart, he added emphatically: “Trust me, I’ll always be standing behind you.”

Baili Xia nodded, but even now, her mind was still in disarray.

She actually hadn’t really absorbed what Dongfang Jin had said.

She spoke mildly, “I still need to give this some thought.

We can talk about it later.

If my origins are indeed related to the Bei Family, then I…

must investigate it on my own.”

“No, you absolutely must not act on your own.

You don’t know the potential dangers involved, many familial affairs you are unaware of,” Dongfang Jin said, fearing that Baili Xia might rashly take action on her own and becoming somewhat anxious.

Realizing that he was being too urgent, he calmed down before regaining his composure.

“I’m telling you these things not to encourage you to take risks, but rather, because I don’t want to hide anything from you that is related to you.”

But if she were to get involved in all this, then from the beginning he shouldn’t have told her anything.

Yet, everyone has a right to know about their own origins, and he couldn’t bear to keep her in the dark.

“How about this? Give me some more time, there are things I still must verify,” Dongfang Jin said intently while gazing at her face.

Baili Xia looked up, meeting his gaze.

She wanted to say that all this is her own business, but confronted with his sincere concern visible in his eyes, those words just couldn’t come out.

Jin genuinely cared about her, and to reject him would be too heartbreaking.

Moreover, with matters being so complicated, she couldn’t possibly uncover anything significant on her own.

“Promise me, you will definitely not investigate this by yourself,” Dongfang Jin, seeing her silence, felt compelled to emphasize again.

Seeing Dongfang Jin’s determined attitude, Baili Xia had no choice but to nod, agreeing for the moment.

She couldn’t simply conclude anything based just on her blood’s ability to serve as an antidote.

To truly get to the bottom of the matter, she feared that she might have to personally visit Bei Miao.

Dongfang Jin picked up his iced coffee, leisurely taking a sip.

With an indecipherable look in his eyes, he suddenly asked, “What did Mu Xiaojiu tell you about the attack you faced at the hunting grounds?”
