Chapter 2351

After eight in the evening, Wu Ming and Baili Xia arrived outside the Jin Ye Pavilion.

There are not many servants here, but the few that are, mostly recognize Wu Ming.

The old servant directly led Wu Ming inside, Baili Xia naturally followed behind.

As they entered, Bei Fengjin was watering the newly planted herbs in the backyard.

Other houses’ backyards are full of ornamental flowers and plants, but not this Jin Ye Pavilion.

The backyard of the Jin Ye Pavilion, apart from some meaningful words, is mostly filled with herbs.

The aroma of herbs wafted through the air, putting one in a pleasant mood.

When she saw the man standing in front of the herbs, that figure, which had lived for forty years yet remained as young as Wu Ming, made Baili Xia’s eyes warm instantly.

This figure is always so lonely, so desolate.

He’s missing someone by his side; over the years, numerous women have admired him.

But the person he holds in his heart will never return.

How did he endure nearly twenty years of solitude?

Bei Fengjin continued to focus on watering the herbs; for tasks he can do himself, he often dislikes relying on others.

Although he knew someone had arrived, he still finished watering the herbs before turning to look at the guests.

Baili Xia’s familiar little face still brought a flicker of emotion to his heart.

However, his calm and unwavering expression remained unchanged as before.

“Tianyou said you were injured and retrieved some medicine from me. Are you feeling better?”

Bei Fengjin put down the bucket, and the old servant immediately handed him a towel to wipe his hands.

He walked up to Baili Xia, scrutinized her face, and slightly frowned, “Your body is too weak.”

Baili Xia’s thin lips moved slightly and nearly couldn’t hold back her tears.

This is her father; she desperately wanted to rush over and embrace him tightly.

But she was scared, afraid she might frighten him, afraid he wouldn’t want to acknowledge her.

Her excited demeanor made Bei Fengjin somewhat surprised, and he glanced at Wu Ming standing beside her.

Wu Ming pressed his lips slightly and said in a deep voice, “Find a place where we can talk.”

After a pause, he added, “It’s important.”

Bei Fengjin always had a good impression of Wu Ming, but this visit was clearly not for a chess match.

After another glance at the tearful Baili Xia, although curious, Bei Fengjin didn’t say anything and turned to walk away.

Today he’s dressed in white casual wear, with some dust on his pant legs, yet his overall aura remains unmatched in nobility and elegance.

Bei Miao’s most handsome man… In the past, Baili Xia never imagined that such an outstanding, extraordinary man could actually… be her father.

Seeing Bei Fengjin walk away, she hesitated a bit, hurriedly reaching out to pull Wu Ming.

Initially, Wu Ming didn’t want to get close to her too quickly to avoid startling the girl.

But seeing her in this state, clearly nervous to the extreme.

Thus, he reluctantly reached out to hold her small hand, leading her forward.

Of course, no one knew there was a hint of a delighted smile on his lips.

When the little girl gets nervous, she still knows how to find someone to rely on; subconsciously, she still wants to depend on him, doesn’t she?

Bei Fengjin walked into his Alchemy Room, Wu Ming and Baili Xia followed behind.

Once inside, Wu Ming casually closed the door.

After closely monitoring the movements outside, he nodded slightly to Baili Xia.
