"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me bring the dishes out!" Xiao Min brought the meat out of the wok to Bai Mu's side and placed two plates of fried Red Braised Meat in his hands.

Seeing Xiao Min change out of her professional attire and put on her housedress, showing off the posture of a little girl, Bai Mu felt a burst of shock.

"What are you standing there for? Haven't you seen anyone cooking before? " Seeing Bai Mu staring at her, Xiao Min's face started to heat up again. She patted Bai Mu's arm and said in a coquettish tone.

"Heh heh, I've indeed not seen it before. It's not like you don't know that I'm an orphan. Who would cook for me! " Bai Mu returned to his usual mischievous smile. However, when he heard Xiao Min's words, Xiao Min's heart tightened.

Staring at Bai Mu, he could feel his eyes burning.

Bai Mu could tell that this little girl was about to cry from his teasing. He quickly changed the topic, "You smell so good, what's your name?"

Only then did Xiao Min realize that she had lost her composure. She lowered her head and pushed Bai Mu into the living room. "This is called Red Braised Meat. If you're hungry, you should eat first." I'll cook a few more dishes! "

Bai Mu carried the plate to the living room's table. Looking at the plate of Red Braised Meat on the table, a smile blossomed on his face, and an unprecedented warmth gushed into his heart.

Bai Mu scooped two bowls of rice into the rice pot, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating. He hadn't eaten for an entire afternoon. He was indeed hungry.

However, Bai Mu was just looking at the two plates of Red Braised Meat as he scooped up the rice.

Xiao Min carried a stack of vegetables in one hand and a stack of fish-flavored shredded meat in the other. When she saw that there was no change in the Red Braised Meat on the table, she asked, "What's wrong, is the meat not to your liking? Do you want to eat this? "Oh yeah, I still have some fish soup in the pot, I can drink it later." He went back to the kitchen.

Bai Mu stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Min, who was busy to the point that she couldn't stop. His expression turned serious as he looked at Xiao Min and said, "It's all very delicious!"

After pulling Xiao Min to a seat, he pushed the bowl of food in front of Xiao Min with a smile on his face. "Sister Xiaomin, you've been busy in the kitchen for so long. How can I be so free? I naturally have to wait for our meritorious general to eat first!"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of the still steaming Red Braised Meat and placed it into Xiao Min's bowl.

Xiao Min looked at Bai Mu's changed attitude and could not react in time.

Had this person always been so ever-changing?

"You should eat too!" Xiao Min whispered as she ate the Red Braised Meat that Bai Mu had given her.

Bai Mu grinned and said, "Of course I have to eat. If you don't eat, then I'll have to disappoint your good intentions, young mistress Little Min." Bai Mu's words were laced with politeness, causing Xiao Min to be ignorant of the taste of food.

Her meaning was already so obvious. Did he not understand?

On the dining table, only the sound of Bai Mu's heartless actions and the colliding of chopsticks could be heard. Other than Bai Mu occasionally raising his head to smile at Xiao Min and then giving some food to the dazed Xiao Min, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly turned awkward.

"Bai Mu, have you found a job yet?" Xiao Min put down her utensils, and after mulling over it for a long time, she finally asked.

"En!" Bai Mu was still eating, but he didn't even raise his head. This meal had given him too much feeling.

He did not know how to sort it out!

"Gao Yang will be leaving tomorrow." Bai Mu put down his bowl and chopsticks and returned to his usual mischievous smile. "What's wrong, Miss Min? You don't want to part with me?"

Xiao Min's face blushed slightly when she saw Bai Mu's lack of seriousness. "You wish!"

"Alright, this meal is the best meal I've had outside. Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Min!" Bai Mu stood up and stretched his back. The atmosphere here was really good, giving him a sense of home.

However, he had nothing now, so how could he come to harm others?

"Bai Mu, will you be back?" Xiao Min sat on a stool and raised her head to look at Bai Mu. Her hands were clasped together, and it was obvious that she was very nervous about Bai Mu's reply.

"En, he will definitely come back. My friend is still here!" Bai Mu smiled at Xiao Min and said, "In the future, if you, Little Min, were to go to Gao Yang, I might even be able to go east! When the time comes, we can also treat you to delicious food in return for today's hospitality. "

Xiao Min chuckled. Since the other party's words had intentionally distanced them, it was a bit unreasonable for her to continue pestering him like this.

"Alright, when I get to Gao Yang City, I'll definitely extort you." Xiao Min squeezed out a smile. That bright and beautiful smile made Bai Mu's heart skip a beat.

Xiao Min looked at the dishes on the table and smiled at Bai Mu. "Why don't you watch the TV for a while? I'll go wash the dishes first."

"Let me help you!" Bai Mu rolled up his sleeves and was about to help clean the dishes when Xiao Min pulled his hand.

"Alright, as a man, you should rest first!" Xiao Min glanced at Bai Mu as she skillfully cleaned up the dishes. Bai Mu watched Xiao Min enter the kitchen and had no choice but to sit on the sofa to watch the TV.

Bored, Bai Mu pressed the remote control and jumped aimlessly on the stage. Upon seeing the scene on the television, his hand abruptly halted.

The screen showed an American couple who had died on the corner of a street. The couple had their eyes wide open, looking as if they had seen an extremely terrifying scene before they died.

"According to the forensic examination, the hearts of this couple were dug out and they died. Adding these two people to the mix, the first few dead people had their hearts dug out and died as well. However, what was shown on the camera was the hearts of those people being taken out for no reason. These terror cases have occurred in Japan, the United States and China, and experts have concluded that this is a new tactic for terrorists, designed to cause panic among the population... "

The reporter continued to broadcast, but Bai Mu was not in the mood to continue watching. With that method, other than the underground palace, who else could it be?

Could it be that the hand of the underground palace has extended to other countries?

What on earth are they trying to do?

Bai Mu slammed his hand on the sofa. Things had changed too quickly for him to control.

"Master, how much longer do you have to wait before you can leave the mountain? This world is about to fall into chaos!" Xiao Min had already finished packing her things and was coming out, Bai Mu thought to himself.

"Why are you so absent-minded?" Xiao Min wiped her hands with a towel as she walked towards Bai Mu.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll go back first." Putting down his worries, Bai Mu looked out the window at the darkening sky and felt a bit disappointed. Sometimes, time would always pass quickly.

"Alright then, I'll send you off." Xiao Min took off her apron and stood up to follow Bai Mu.

"That's enough, Sister Little Min. You should rest early. Tomorrow, you all still need to work early. I'm a man. Are you afraid that I'll be kidnapped?"

Seeing Bai Mu's grinning face, Xiao Min snappily hit Bai Mu. "You're dreaming! With your looks, who would kidnap you? "Alright, since you're leaving now, I might as well send you off. I don't even know when the next time we meet will be!"

"Alright then, today I also enjoy the feeling of being sent off by someone else." The corner of Bai Mu's mouth rose, but he pushed Xiao Min's shoulders as he walked behind her. When he walked out the door, he held the key in his hand and closed the door before heading downstairs.

"Sister Xiao Min, take care!" When he reached the bottom of the stairs, Bai Mu stopped in his tracks. Since that person was here, Bai Mu naturally wouldn't return.

"En, I will!" Xiao Min lowered her head and looked at the top of her shoes. She did not dare to look at Bai Mu.

"If you encounter any trouble, you can look for me at Gao Yang's Liangliang Group." Bai Mu looked at Xiao Min, who had her head lowered in a girl-like manner, and said with a serious expression. Currently, the underground palace was acting in a low profile, so ordinary people in the country should be safe. However, by them doing so, it meant that they were planning something big.

Raising his head, he stared at the pitch-black night sky. The silence before the great storm wouldn't last long in this world. He should start preparing as well.

"Alright!" Xiao Min lifted her head. There was a smile in her beautiful eyes. He told her his exact location. Was it to her?

"Alright, Sister Little Min is not safe for the night, you should go back first!" Bai Mu pushed Xiao Min back. Xiao Min nodded her head and said her goodbyes before running into the corridor.

"Sister Little Min, wait a moment."

Bai Mu's sudden voice made Xiao Min halt her steps. She turned around with a pleasantly surprised expression on her face. Bai Mu bit his middle finger and dripped some of his blood on something in his hand.

"Sister Xiao Min, keep this piece of paper. If you encounter any danger, just tear this piece of paper apart." This talisman is connected to my heart meridian. If it is damaged, I will naturally have a feeling of it.

"If you are connected to the heart meridian and it is torn apart, will you be alright?" When Xiao Min heard Bai Mu's words, she wanted to return the talisman to him. She wasn't his person, so there was no need to have such a valuable object.

"How could it be? Just to make me feel like this. " Bai Mu laughed and placed his hands on Xiao Min's shoulders. "That's why you're being overly sensitive, Sister Xiao Min!"

He looked at the sky and jokingly said, "Look, it's already dark. If I don't go back now, I might really be taken away by someone else."

"Alright, goodbye. Be careful when you're on your way." Xiao Min placed the talisman in her palm and beckoned at Bai Mu.

Bai Mu returned Xiao Min's smile. "If you encounter any danger, remember to tear off the talisman!" With that, he put his hands into his pockets and left the residential area.

Looking at Bai Mu's back, Xiao Min took out the talisman paper and looked at it. Her slender fingers touched the bloody lines drawn on it. Lifting her head, she looked at the spot where Bai Mu had disappeared before turning around and heading upstairs.

After going to Gao Yang city, Bai Mu began his private bodyguard life. As for this personal bodyguard, according to Liang Zhong's request, wherever the Miss went, he would follow. When Miss went to the toilet, he waited outside. When Miss went to eat, he stood beside her. When Miss went to class, he sat beside her.

In short, he would be there twenty-four hours a day.

It had only been two days, but Bai Mu had already come to realize that money was not easy to earn.

"Bai Mu, buy me a cup of juice!"

Bai Mu rubbed his forehead helplessly. Why didn't he realize that this little girl was so annoying before?

"I refuse!" Bai Mu directly spat out a few words without thinking. It wasn't that Bai Mu wanted to give up this job, but it was that Bai Mu knew that this Liang Qi Yue wouldn't easily give up on his freedom.

Unless Liang Qi Yue was willing to follow another group of eye-catching bodyguards, otherwise, Bai Mu's job would never be broken.

"Why? Didn't you do well two days ago?"

"Eldest Miss, you have to make sure that I'm a bodyguard, not a nanny!" Bai Mu didn't even look at Liang Qi Yue. His hands were in his pockets, and his face was that of a rascal.

"Hmph, I will dismiss you!" Liang Qi Yue stood up, and threatened ruthlessly with both hands on her waist.

"Sure thing!" Bai Mu lowered his head to look at Liang Qiyue's fuming face. When he saw her cute face, he couldn't help but pinch it. As he pinched it, he said, "Hmm, this feel is pretty good!"

How could that casual smile look like a bodyguard? It was clear that Liang Qi Yue was the little maid that he was recklessly bullying.

Liang Qi Yue slapped Bai Mu's hand away and shouted, "I want to tell dad to dismiss you!"

"This isn't impossible." Bai Mu crossed his arms and rubbed his chin, as if it was a pity. He said, "It's just that in the future, our Princess Xiao Yue will be followed by a bunch of annoying followers."

"Humph, if it weren't for you, I would still be recruiting!" When Liang Qi Yue saw Bai Mu's confident expression, she was a little unconvinced as she turned around and spoke while gnashing her teeth.

"Sure, I'm just afraid that the people you find will be fed to your old man's tiger pummeling!" Hmm, let me think. Even if that person could beat a tiger, I believe that he would have had a difficult time dealing with the ten strong bodyguards behind him. "Even after dealing with the bodyguards, the road in the dark of the night might not even reach its end..."

"What did you say about the long dark road?" Liang Qi Yue interrupted Bai Mu. She knew that there were both bodyguards and tigers, but what did that long and dark path mean? Could this be what dad did?

"It's nothing!" Bai Mu only found out from Liang Qi Yue's expression that Liang Qi Yue didn't know about the matter of her father raising a little kid. Since Liang Zhong was hiding it from his daughter, then if he talked too much it would bring him trouble. He only looked at Liang Qi Yue and said with a smile, "In any case, I'm in charge of protecting your safety. If you have enough freedom, then go ahead."
