The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard-Chapter 1318 - 1331

Xia Xuan frowned and glared at Tian Yu, saying, "Don’t say such things carelessly in the future, understand?"

Tian Yu didn’t know why Xia Xuan suddenly got angry, but she simply nodded obediently and then said, "I understand, I’ll be more careful in the future."

After giving Tian Yu a deep look, Xia Xuan went upstairs. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Xia Xuan went to Nangong Yunxi’s room, knocked on the door, and then directly pushed it open and went in.

Nangong Yunxi was sitting in the room reading a book. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him. Without raising his head, he lifted his hand, and a stream of red True Qi shot from his palm toward the door.

Xia Xuan swiftly dodged aside, avoiding the attack.

"It’s me." Xia Xuan said expressionlessly.

Nangong Yunxi glanced back at Xia Xuan, closed the book, and said, "Teacher, why are you here today?"

He had a delicate appearance, especially his clear eyes, which shone with a cool light, not at all showing any signs of illness.

Xia Xuan walked over to Nangong Yunxi with some urgency and asked, "I heard you met with Tian Yu?"

Nangong Yunxi nodded calmly, "Yes, I met her."

"Didn’t I promise you? Don’t meet her; otherwise, it will be easy for her to see that you’re not really ill." Xia Xuan gravely advised.

Nangong Yunxi gently shook his head, "Is the teacher angry because I met him?"

"Do you know how many years you’ve endured to reach this point today? Do you want to lose everything overnight?"

"That’s not likely." Nangong Yunxi put the book away and then looked up at Xia Xuan, "I’ve been locking myself in the room since the beginning, which is not something a normal person would do. Now, if I suddenly appear, even if I act normal, she won’t find it suspicious."

Xia Xuan was still somewhat uneasy, "In any case, Tian Yu is very observant, so you must not let her detect any flaws."

Nangong Yunxi smiled and said, "I know, teacher, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Xia Xuan gave Nangong Yunxi a deep look and sighed lightly, "I also know, you’ve been enduring for more than twenty years, and it’s almost unbearable, but now, at the critical moment, you must endure. I believe you can return to the country soon."

Nangong Yunxi’s smile faded, and he turned his gaze out the window, remaining silent for a long time.

Xia Xuan didn’t know what he was thinking, just sighed slightly beside him.

"How are the preparations on the Man Yue Clan’s side going?"

Nangong Yunxi suddenly asked, his eyes gazing forward, appearing clear yet inscrutable.

"Everything’s arranged smoothly over there, but our people have discovered there is another group trying to stop them from entering the Man Yue Clan." Xia Xuan said, "I came this time just to tell you about this."

Nangong Yunxi gave a faint smile, "Of course, since Chu Ge has the Sword Soul with him, naturally someone will try to snatch it. As for that, there’s nothing to worry about."

"Aren’t you afraid they’ll ruin your plan?"

Nangong Yunxi shook his head, "There’s nothing to fear; they won’t ruin my plan. On the contrary, they’ll help it advance swiftly."

"What do you mean?"

Xia Xuan was somewhat confused. Despite his age, the young man before him showed no frivolity, on the contrary, he was very sophisticated and mature.

This characteristic of Nangong Yunxi made Xia Xuan cautious. To be honest, when he discovered Nangong Yunxi’s hidden abilities, he was particularly excited. Later, he guided him step by step to become stronger until he cultivated to the late-stage Innate Grandmaster, soon to break through to the Divine Communication Mirror, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

But gradually, he realized he couldn’t control Nangong Yunxi. In other words, Nangong Yunxi was becoming increasingly deep and cunning, as if he had changed.

Xia Xuan seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and looked at Nangong Yunxi, asking, "Yunxi, be honest, could the temporal disturbance this time have affected you too?"

Otherwise, he couldn’t find any other reason to explain Nangong Yunxi’s change.

Nangong Yunxi paused for a moment before replying, "No, why ask that?"

Xia Xuan looked skeptical, not quite believing.

Nangong Yunxi chuckled and explained, "Actually, it’s nothing. I think everyone would be affected to some extent, right? After all, being an Ancient Martial Artist, I’m naturally within the range of its influence, which is unavoidable."

Xia Xuan nodded slowly, sighed, and said, "If you feel anything unusual, you must tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself. I know you’re very decisive, but remember, before making major decisions, don’t act rashly, alright?"

Nangong Yunxi murmured an assent, "Don’t worry, I will."

He had been plotting for a long time, and he wouldn’t let any minor accident disrupt his plan.

"As long as you endure this, the day you return to the country is in sight." Xia Xuan worried that the closer they were to success, the more impatient Nangong Yunxi might become, so he advised.

Nangong Yunxi nodded slightly, "I understand. Don’t worry."

Xia Xuan talked with Nangong Yunxi for a long time. Suddenly, they heard a commotion at the door.

To be precise, Nangong Yunxi sensed someone at the door and gestured for Xia Xuan to remain silent.

Xia Xuan frowned. In this villa, besides him and Nangong Yunxi, there was only Tian Yu.

Xia Xuan stood up suddenly, "It’s Tian Yu? I’ll go out and find her."

Nangong Yunxi didn’t speak, only nodded lightly.

Tian Yu was just curious about what Teacher Xia Xuan discussed with Nangong Yunxi in the room. Plus, she felt that Nangong Yunxi seemed normal earlier, causing her to be somewhat suspicious.

Driven by curiosity, she couldn’t help but eavesdrop.

But as soon as she reached the door, suddenly, it opened.

Xia Xuan walked out expressionlessly, startling Tian Yu.

"Teacher."

Tian Yu covered her chest with a laugh.

Xia Xuan gave a slight nod, "What’re you doing up here?"

Tian Yu coughed awkwardly and said, "The girl I share a rental with called, saying there was a thief at home, so I..."

Xia Xuan’s eyes flickered, "Alright, you’ve been here long enough, take this opportunity to go back and rest for a couple of days."
