Chapter 1286

Since Brother came back, he hasn’t said a single word, except for the action earlier in the main hall.

Now, he’s like a statue.

Sitting in the room, he’s become part of a picturesque painting.

But the moment Baili Xia thought about his earlier moves in the hall, she couldn’t help but get excited again.

“Brother, you’re really amazing, absolutely incredible! Those few moves earlier, I was completely mesmerized!”

With such incredible skills, those hulking men, five of them attacking together, couldn’t even touch the edge of his clothes.

Yet, they were all taken down in an instant.

When Brother makes a move, it’s clean and precise.

Not only is he as fast as lightning, but every strike is solid.

It’s simply flawless and perfect.

Brother’s at his handsomest during these moments, so much so that Baili Xia was almost ready to become his biggest fan!

Those large, radiant eyes of hers stayed fixed on Mu Xiaoyao, staring without a single blink, filled with an infatuated glow.

There was no need to ask; it was obvious what this starry-eyed girl was thinking.

However, Mu Xiaoyao’s expression remained calm, even colder than usual.

This unusual demeanor was something even Baili Xia noticed.

Struggling to pull herself out of her thoughts, she glanced at Mu Xiaoyao and blinked.

“Brother, are you in a bad mood? You seem a bit off.”

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her without saying a word, his gaze carrying a hint of complexity.

Off to the side, Nangong Xu cleared his throat lightly, giving her a faint glance.

This girl was good at everything, except for her biggest flaw—how easily distracted she could be.

Even when discussing something as important as this, she could somehow veer off topic.

Not to mention, she had just spent so long swooning over Mu Xiaoyao.

Nangong Xu’s soft cough snapped Baili Xia back to reality.

She turned to look at him, confused about what kind of expression to show.

Clearly anxious, yet so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Such an important topic had been interrupted several times in a row.

“Master, please just tell me the result already. Otherwise, I’ll have to find something else to distract myself.”

She cleared her throat, putting on a serious face.

The two men in the room truly didn’t know what to say.

So this was her excuse to cover up her tendency to get distracted?

Baili Xia’s face flushed red.

Without even looking at them, she could already tell what the two of them were probably thinking.

Still, this matter was far too important to her.

Those small details?

They didn’t matter anymore.

She looked at Nangong Xu and said, “Master…”

“You are indeed a child of the Bei Family. The Old Madam might be your grandmother, or perhaps your great-grandmother,” Nangong Xu said calmly.

Baili Xia had somewhat prepared herself mentally, but his words still made her legs feel weak.

Mu Xiaoyao had been watching her the whole time, worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.

Still, this girl only wobbled a little before sitting down on the small sofa next to Nangong Xu, lost in her complicated emotions.

It looked like she really was part of the Bei Family; there was no doubt about that anymore.

But who exactly were her biological parents?

Could Bei Qingyou truly be one of them?

Was her mother really the Bei Family’s Third Miss?

“For now, it seems most likely to be Bei Qingyou,” Nangong Xu continued.

Mu Xiaoyao had been going through the Bei Family’s past records during this time, all for her sake.

However, the Bei Family’s personal records were rarely made public, so investigating them had cost him a great deal of time and effort.

The patriarch had two wives.

Currently in power was Madam; as for the Second Lady, she had already passed away many years ago.
