Chapter 1420

Watching Guisu’s departing back, Sima Liuyue felt vaguely that he was hiding something from her.

Normally, he would quietly follow her and wouldn’t leave on his own.

Why did he act this way when he saw Baili Xia?

Is he going to find Baili Xia?

Could there be a secret between them that she is unaware of?

Though puzzled, she didn’t have time to think deeply as the servant Lan was already helping the Old Madam into the hall.

Sima Liuyue stood up and respectfully said, “Old Madam.”

Nangong Yun also stood up, smiling as he walked to the Old Madam’s side, supporting her on the other side.

“Grandmother, this is the eldest Miss of the Sima Family, Sima Liuyue. She is very nice…”

…

Guisu left the main house and hadn’t walked far when he saw Baili Xia coming listlessly towards him.

He moved closer to Baili Xia, and once Baili Xia saw him, he turned and walked in another direction.

Baili Xia immediately followed his steps, and the two of them walked towards the backyard together.

Once in the backyard, Guisu sat down at the stone table, looking at Baili Xia.

Baili Xia also sat down, looking at him, clearly wanting to ask something but not knowing how to start.

“Why are you looking for me?” Finally, Guisu asked her first.

Once someone starts talking, it’s easier to speak.

Baili Xia promptly asked, “How is your hand?”

“It’s already healed,” Guisu replied.

“Healed so fast?” Baili Xia was somewhat incredulous.

She took Guisu’s hand and inspected it.

Indeed, his right hand had almost fully recovered.

Its flexibility and strength were nearly the same as before, as if it had never been injured.

“It’s really healed, you… you’ve recovered so quickly!”

Although her method was formidable, typically it would take at least a year or half a year for a person to recover.

Guisu had recovered to this extent in just a few months, it was terrifying!

This physique is simply beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

“Thank you.” Guisu looked at Baili Xia and spoke calmly.

Though his voice was calm, it wasn’t hard to see the gratitude he felt towards Baili Xia from his gaze.

This girl had given him new life; without her, his right hand would have been crippled.

Perhaps his life would have been ruined.

“It’s nothing, don’t mention gratitude again.”

Baili Xia smiled lightly, looking at Guisu, but couldn’t help asking, “Why did you come to Bei Miao?

How did you become Nangong Yun’s subordinate?”

Guisu looked at her and answered mildly, “Miss Sima and the Bei Family have a business cooperation.

I’m just here with her, responsible for her protection.”

“Miss Nangong mentioned a competition, and Miss Sima asked me to participate, sort of to help.”

Baili Xia responded with an “oh,” feeling somewhat conflicted.

After all, she was helping Bei Tianyou, while Guisu stood on Nangong Yun’s side.

“Regarding this competition…”

After pausing, Baili Xia decided to tell Guisu everything.

“Regarding this competition, I’ve decided to help Brother You, we… we are opposing each other.”

Actually, she wanted Guisu not to help Nangong Yun, as Nangong Yun was truly not a good person.

However, considering his status, she couldn’t bring herself to say these words.

Guisu, after all, belonged to Sima Liuyue now; she couldn’t ask him to disobey Sima Liuyue’s orders.

Guisu’s face showed no expression as he merely said mildly, “I won’t hurt you.”

Baili Xia did not expect Guisu to say this, and she was stunned.

After a moment, she gathered her thoughts and looked at Guisu, her voice gentle.

“I’m not competing; they wouldn’t need my help anyway, but the people he originally chose to participate have all been harmed recently.”
