Chapter 1480

Hearing Nangong Yun’s tone, the old man should be fine for now, at least he’s alive.

As long as he’s alive, it’s good.

Baili Xia really wanted to see him first.

She wouldn’t be at ease until she saw he was okay.

“Impossible!” Nangong Yun refused outright.

“Even if you’re not the assassin, you must be connected to them. There’s no way I’ll let you see him.”

She looked at Baili Xia, her eyes still filled with resentment and anger.

“Baili Xia, you should just come back with me and see grandma first.”

“I need to know how the old man is doing first,” Baili Xia insisted.

Nangong Yun sneered coldly, “What, do you want to confirm if your treacherous plan succeeded?”

“Shut up.” Bei Tianyou couldn’t bear it any longer and snapped at Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun immediately fell silent, involuntarily stepping back two paces.

Bei Tianyou was truly angry; in all these years, she’d never heard him speak so sternly.

But his severity was only directed at her.

Once Nangong Yun dared not say anything more, Bei Tianyou turned to Baili Xia, his voice returning to its usual tone.

“Mr. Nangong is operating on him, but I’ve heard he’s still not out of danger.”

Upon hearing this, Baili Xia became anxious.

“Brother You, can you take me to see him?”

Bei Tianyou looked at Baili Xia’s anxious appearance and felt a bit of heartache.

But he was also somewhat puzzled—when did this girl develop such deep feelings for the old man?

He gently shook his head and softly said, “I can’t see him right now either.”

After a pause, he added, “However, we can go see grandma first.

She’s outside the infirmary, and we can wait there together.”

“Alright, I’m going right now.”

With that, there was no need for Nangong Yun to have anyone capture her; Baili Xia had already turned and was heading out of the yard.

“You…” Nangong Yun was about to say something, but after glancing at Bei Tianyou beside her, she had to hold back.

Bei Tianyou watched Baili Xia’s hurried departure and gently said, “I’ll accompany you.”

He had just received the news himself; he’d heard the old man was attacked, and Nangong Yun was detaining people.

When Fan Yi brought back the news, Nangong Yun had already barged in.

He hurried downstairs to check on the old man’s condition and to prevent Nangong Yun from secretly harming Baili Xia.

As he spoke, he quickened his pace to catch up with Baili Xia.

Baili Xia went to see the Old Madam by herself, and Nangong Yun had no way to stop her, originally planning to use the Old Madam as an excuse to interrogate and take her back to Wangyue Pavilion.

At that time, they could announce externally that Bei Qingyue was the one conducting the interrogation.

She never expected Bei Tianyou to protect this troublesome girl so fiercely!

She stomped her foot angrily and hurriedly chased after them.

She must not let her see the Old Madam first, lest she twist the facts and deceive the Old Madam.

However, by the time she reached the yard gate, Baili Xia and Bei Tianyou were already in a sightseeing cart heading towards the main house in the front yard.

She did not want Baili Xia to meet the Old Madam, but with Bei Tianyou present, there was nothing she could do about them!

…

Baili Xia and Bei Tianyou quickly arrived at the small courtyard of the infirmary, and as soon as they entered, Baili Xia saw the courtyard was full of people.

The Old Madam sat on a stone bench in the center of the courtyard, her face filled with anxiety.

The old man’s assassination attempt was such a significant event that almost everyone in the Miao Domain was present.

Some had just arrived, offering comfort to the Old Madam while asking her about the situation.

The situation seemed even more severe than Baili Xia had imagined!
