Chapter 1537

“Your friend…” Bei Tianyou paused for a moment, feeling a bit uneasy.

He didn’t continue, but Baili Xia, after a two-second daze, suddenly snapped back to reality.

“You…

you know…”

“Isn’t this precisely why you’re going back?”

Hearing this, Baili Xia’s eyes widened even more.

She hadn’t mentioned this to Bei Tianyou, right?

Not just to Bei Tianyou, but she hadn’t mentioned it to anyone else either.

How…

does he know?

Seeing her staring at him wide-eyed, a look of shock in her gaze,

Bei Tianyou still felt a bit uneasy.

He lightly coughed, cleared his throat, and softly said, “I… was worried you might have some difficulties, so I had someone check your communication records, and then…”

Investigating her matters privately was indeed wrong, but she was in such a hurry and unwilling to disclose the reason for her return.

Even more so, not even Mu Xiaojiu knew why she left in such a rush.

After thinking it over and over, he couldn’t rest easy, so he had Fan Yi find someone to check immediately.

Baili Xia exhaled a breath, her heart felt relieved.

Still, Bei Tianyou was able to investigate everything so thoroughly in such a short period.

This ability truly left people impressed.

He…

is definitely a character far more formidable than he appears on the surface, but all along, because of his frail health, he hasn’t sought attention.

So, he doesn’t give the same impression as Uncle and the others, standing at the pinnacle.

In fact, he has always been at the pinnacle.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times.

If he could become friends with Uncle, he would be a great business partner.

If someday, by any chance, he became an enemy of Uncle,

then this enemy would be an existence that Uncle absolutely couldn’t ignore.

“Sorry, I didn’t get your permission.” Seeing her staring at him, Bei Tianyou thought she was angry and quickly apologized.

“I was just a little worried, afraid you couldn’t handle it alone.”

“I’m not blaming you; I know, Brother You is just concerned about me.”

Baili Xia smiled, exhaling a long breath.

“I just didn’t expect your intelligence network to be even more terrifying than I imagined.”

Bei Tianyou didn’t speak, still unsure whether she was angry.

The two of them walked slowly along the road toward Bi Luo Pavilion.

Baili Xia saw he was still reserved and instead reassured him, “I’m really not angry; on the contrary, I feel warm inside.”

“Brother You must be reluctant to see me leave, I know, hehe.”

Bei Tianyou looked at her smiling face.

The smile on this little face was so genuine and clear, not fake at all.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.

“Actually, I don’t even know why I was so anxious…”

He paused and decided not to talk about it.

“In any case, this medicine is good, and maybe helpful when needed.”

“Got it, I’ll make good use of it, and thank Mr.

Fengjin for me.”

After thinking about it, she couldn’t help but ask Bei Tianyou, “Brother You, is Mr.

Fengjin’s alchemy better than yours?”

At the mention of this, Bei Tianyou was slightly taken aback.

After a while, he slowly spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of melancholy.

“Uncle Fengjin, like Aunt Qingyou, are the most gifted alchemists of the Bei Family.

I’ve been learning alchemy with him since I was young.”

“However, even Old Madam doesn’t know about Uncle Fengjin’s talent in alchemy; she just knows he’s more skilled than the average person.”

If Old Madam knew, could Uncle Fengjin still lead such a quiet life?

It’s simply impossible.
