Chapter 1393

Bei Tianyou’s lips curved upward once again, this time, truly relaxed.

He reached out and ruffled Baili Xia’s hair, his eyes full of affection.

Baili Xia also looked at Bei Tianyou, sweetly and foolishly smiling.

If he hadn’t brought it up again, she would have forgotten about the morning’s incident.

Although Bei Tianyou didn’t know, she knew he was her cousin, a family member.

A real family member, not the granddaughter of some old comrade, not someone unrelated by blood.

Family members, sharing the same blood, having the same ancestors!

And he treats her so well, should she really worry about this tiny misunderstanding?

“Brother You, I have something to tell you.” She paused, looking directly into Bei Tianyou’s eyes, asking, “Do you trust me?”

“I trust you.” Without the slightest hesitation, Bei Tianyou said softly.

A warmth inexplicably spread in Baili Xia’s heart, feeling touched.

“Brother You, you need to be wary of Nangong Yun, she’s definitely not a good person.”

“She once schemed against me in the Mu family.

It’s not because of a personal vendetta that I’m speaking poorly of her to you; her plots and conspiracies are truly unpredictable.”

“I heard she’ll also participate in the competition for the Defense Department, you need to be careful.”

“Although she is your cousin…” not knowing how to proceed, she isn’t used to speaking ill of others behind their backs.

Looking at Bei Tianyou, she could only sincerely say, “In short, you need to be prepared against her.”

Bei Tianyou nodded slightly, and said nonchalantly, “I will be cautious.”

“Hmm,” after a pause, Baili Xia continued, “Brother You, your father is getting old, although he will still participate in this competition, inevitably he’ll be less able.”

“So, Brother You, you must pull yourself together. Only you are qualified to represent the Bei family to contend for control over the Bei Miao Defense Camp.”

Bei Tianyou was not unclear about what Baili Xia meant by saying these things, he reached out and ruffled Baili Xia’s hair again.

“Thank you, little girl.”

Baili Xia gave a light smile, although knowing the road ahead remains tough, no matter what, she will certainly stand by his side.

Like the closest of kin, protecting him…

…

In recent days, Fan Yi has gathered all the experts under Bei Tianyou’s command.

Mu Xiaoyao had promised to help, so whenever he had time, he cooperated immediately with the selection process.

Mu Xiaoyao and Bei Tianyou had discussed, Fan Yi could replace one member to participate in next year’s spring competition.

But even if Fan Yi participates, they still couldn’t find the other two people.

Mu Xiaoyao, despite his skills, is a member of Jin City’s Mu family.

How could Mu Xiaoyao, represent Bei Tianyou’s team in the competition?

Even if the Bei family had no objections, he himself would be unwilling.

It’s not about willingness to help, but rather, if he became Bei Tianyou’s subordinate, representing his team in the competition, where would that leave the Mu family’s face?

Mr.

Mu couldn’t afford to lose this face, and the Bei family wouldn’t let him meddle either.

So, Mu Xiaoyao couldn’t participate, leaving Bei Tianyou’s team still short of members.

Baili Xia had been worrying about this matter these past two days, even Bei Tianyou had agreed to let her go to Youyang Pavilion in the evening, and she had set it aside, not paying attention.

In a blink, it’s Friday.

Early in the morning, Baili Xia was watching the brothers train in the backyard of Bi Luo Pavilion when suddenly, a maid hurried from the front yard.

Seeing the busy Baili Xia, the maid respectfully said, “Miss Xiaxia, someone is at the front gate looking for you.”
