Chapter 1357

“You keep bringing her up again and again. In the end, what do you want to know?”

Bei Tianyou’s sharp eyes stared straight at Baili Xia’s gradually paling face, his gaze icy.

He had warned not to mention that name again, but she didn’t listen.

She was determined and had a particularly intense curiosity about Bei Qingyou.

Could it be that there is something between her and Bei Qingyou…

“I… I’m not…” For a moment, Baili Xia couldn’t figure out how to explain.

“Bei Qingyou is the woman my father loved the most,” Nangong Xu suddenly said from the side.

With just one sentence, not only did Bei Tianyou squint his eyes, but Baili Xia was also stunned.

She certainly knew that her master was just trying to help her out of trouble, but the words were spoken as if it were true, which…

wasn’t like her master’s usual style.

Facing Bei Tianyou’s inquisitive gaze, Nangong Xu remained calm, with no ripple in his eyes.

“The name Bei Qingyou might be a taboo in your Bei Family, but for my father, it was often on his lips.”

“Even until the day he died, I could still hear him murmuring the name. He couldn’t forget that person, even on his deathbed.”

Bei Tianyou pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

Baili Xia gently tugged Nangong Xu’s sleeve and whispered, “Master, don’t think about it anymore. It’s all in the past.”

She could see her master was thinking of his father.

However, he was able to speak so smoothly; it truly surprised her.

Her master never liked to lie, and this time, for her sake, he had really been put in a difficult position.

She turned to Bei Tianyou and said cautiously, “I’m sorry, I’m really very interested in your aunt.”

“Brother You, don’t be angry, but I truly want to know what kind of extraordinary woman could make my master’s father remember her until death.”

It’s better that the lie comes from her than from Nangong Xu.

She didn’t want her master to bear such a heavy burden for her.

“These days, I’ve been hearing about her in the hall.

Rumor has it that she was the Bei Family’s most talented alchemist, and extremely beautiful, but unfortunately, she died young…”

“Forget it, I don’t plan to pursue this matter any further.”

Bei Tianyou suddenly sighed, turning his back on them.

“Aunt Qingyou died of illness, not as the stories say… In the future, don’t talk about these things anymore, or else… I can’t protect you.”

He walked towards the desk, his back showing a bit of solitude and helplessness.

Turning to look at Baili Xia, he said, “Not protecting you well today was my mistake.

In the future, I’ll be more vigilant and won’t let the same thing happen again.”

“I’m sorry, please forgive me,” he apologized solemnly.

Baili Xia immediately shook her head, her gaze filled with sincerity.

“Actually, I also want to thank you. At that time, you were willing to exchange your right hand to save my life. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life.”

Though they hadn’t known each other for long, he was willing to go to such lengths for her.

This kindness she would hold dear in her heart.

But Bei Tianyou looked at her, his thin lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Finally, he said softly, “In the future… if you really can’t hold back, at least come and talk to me first.”

Baili Xia’s brows lifted, and her mood brightened immediately.

Brother You…

he had given her tacit approval to remain “curious” about Bei Qingyou’s matters.

Does this mean as long as she’s not too excessive, he can turn a blind eye?
