C101

If Situ Jin didn't appear.

To be honest, this was the first time that such a thought had appeared in his mind.

From the moment Situ Jin told him of his identity, Situ Jin would appear wherever he needed to be. Although he and Situ Jin had never discussed it before, they had a tacit understanding between each other that was developed since they were young.

But this time.

A long time had passed, far exceeding his initial expectations.

At first, he thought that it would at most take ten days or half a month, but now …

"Don't worry, Situ Jin. If anything happens to you, I'll definitely avenge you."

Sighing deeply, both hands tightly hugged her knees as Situ Xi muttered to herself.

The voice was deep and only he could hear it.

However, he clearly understood in his heart that he had never been so serious before, never been so serious.

When he said those words, he was very serious. The person closest to him in this world was not the person who had an orderly relationship with him. It was Situ Jin whom he wanted to call his father. This person who had suddenly appeared in his world was like an outsider who had suddenly broken the tranquility of his world.

Speaking of which, it wasn't that he didn't hate Situ Jin.

If it wasn't for Situ Jin's appearance, he could have just been a fool who didn't know anything. He would have just obediently taken whatever Situ Jin gave him. He wouldn't have to worry about anything, and he could live a peaceful life like this. However, now that Situ Jin had appeared, he understood what many people would never tell him in their lives. It also gave him a new choice.

"Situ Jin, you have to be fine, otherwise …" "Otherwise …" Otherwise, who would be able to accompany me as I smile at the world's monarch?

Yes, that was what he had told himself.

It was this joke that made him remember it deeply for a very long time. Even now, he had not forgotten it. It should not be said that he did not dare to forget it. He always remembered what he wanted to do and what he wanted to do, but … But now, he realized how lonely his life would be without Situ Jin …

Looks like I really should do something else …

"Hey, I have something to say to you."

Situ Xi was wondering if she should do something. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. But before she could think it through, a cold voice suddenly sounded from above her head.

He raised his head and saw that Wine Master, who was supposed to be crying at the door, had suddenly appeared next to him and even looked down at him with a condescending gaze.

Her voice was calm without a hint of displeasure. Other than some mist in her dark eyes, it was impossible to tell that she had cried just now.

Even Situ Xi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

How amazing.

That's right, she's really too amazing. She's clearly very young, and she's just a country girl, but …

But there were always things that no one expected.

"Alright, it's time to have a good chat."

Situ Xi nodded without hesitation.

He had been spending all this time with them, and this girl had always been very careful with him. The most important thing was that this girl had never asked about his identity, not even once.

Even he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This girl was truly a smart person. At this moment, she knew in her heart that the more direct she was, the more unsafe it was for her. And the safer it was for her to not know anything. It was just that now it seemed that she might have something to tell him, but what was the real reason behind it? Situ Xi didn't understand.

And he didn't want to understand.

In this world, many people were like this. They did not want others to know about their own matters, as each person would have their own secrets, and even if they did know about it, there were many things that others would not want them to know, not to mention this little girl.

From the first moment he saw this girl, he knew that this girl was definitely not a simple person.

"Alright, just ask whatever questions you have."

Since he had already made up his mind, there was nothing that he couldn't say.

Situ Xi didn't hesitate at all. She stood up straight and looked at Jiu Niang with a leisurely expression.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.

"Just ask me whatever you have to say. As long as it's something I can say, I'll tell you anything I know."

Yes, as long as I can say it, I will say it. I won't hide anything from you.

This was Situ Xi's guarantee and also his bottom line.

Tell Nona the truth, as long as it's something I can ask you, I'll definitely tell you everything. So you can boldly ask her without the slightest taboo. But there's still one more thing I can't say in time. No matter how hard you ask me, I won't say it.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I won't be polite." Nona was no fool and naturally understood what he meant. Since the other party had already said so, there was no need to be courteous to him. "Who are you!"

Yes, she wanted to ask who he was.

This was a very important question. Only when he knew the identity of this person would he be able to confirm what he was going to do next.

"That's not important, is it?"

The corner of Situ Xi's mouth twitched, and a bitter smile appeared on it. She rubbed her brow, and Situ Xi felt unspeakably depressed.

Tsk tsk, luckily I said it from the beginning. Only then will I say what I can't say be said.

Fortunately, he had foresight. He really didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward and directly stuck his weak spot.

"Very important."

Slightly shaking her head, Nona's expression was solemn as she stared unblinkingly at Situ Xi. She looked as if she wanted to see through him and see into his heart.

Yes, she did have such a thought.

It would be great if he could see that man's heart through his face.

It was a pity that he didn't have the ability to do so, so he could only honestly ask.

Since Gu Jinyu wasn't with her at this time, it could only mean one thing, and that was that something must have happened to Gu Jinyu.

As for what it was, she couldn't understand it for a while. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of asking that woman, but … However, when he thought about it later, he could only give up.

No matter what, although she was not good to herself, she was still their mother.

In this situation, everything he had was just a guess. If he said it out loud, it would probably scare that woman. At this point, it would be better not to say anything at all. That woman was not a reasonable person to begin with. If she was really frightened by that woman, then something would happen to her.

Furthermore, since something had happened to Gu Jinyu, but this woman was fine, which meant that these people's target was only Gu Jinyu, and it had nothing to do with her. As long as this matter didn't involve her, she was safe.

It would be better to avoid unnecessary troubles. After all, he didn't have any feelings for this woman, but she was still a human.

Furthermore …

To her, Gu Jinyu was a close relative of hers. Since she found that there was something wrong with it, she would definitely think of a way to find him.

And in this situation, the other serious problem was Situ Xi.

He had promised Little White that he would take good care of Situ Xi, so he must keep his promises. He had always been a person who kept his promises, so he naturally couldn't go back on his words.

But... But on one hand, it's my big brother, and on the other …

Therefore, she needed to know the true identity of this person. As long as she knew the true identity of this person, she could properly consider it and determine whether she could choose to do so.

"This... I can only say that my identity is very special. "

Situ Xi furrowed her brows. She didn't think that her uncle's first question would be so troublesome. She really didn't know how to respond.

However, he couldn't reveal his true identity. In such a situation, he could only say that his identity was rather special.

Yes, he was the son of the Emperor, but he was not an honorable prince. Furthermore, he might be targeted by those people at any moment, and his life would be taken away by them at any time. Naturally, his identity would be special, but there were some things he could not say.

She had been taking good care of him all the way here. Besides, she had been doing quite well these days. He didn't feel threatened at all. In fact, he had stayed quiet for quite some time. Actually, since he was young, he had always enjoyed peace and quiet. If he had the choice, he really would have been able to live a peaceful life on his own.

However, there were no 'ifs' in this world, and he could not choose his own birth.

Just like what Situ Jin said, choosing to give up didn't mean that everyone could give up.

While royal father was still well, there were indeed people who were afraid of his authority and that he could continue to live on in peace, but if one day he was no longer here, then who in this world could guarantee his safety? [I'm afraid no one else can do it. Maybe …] Maybe it was just like what Situ Jin said, she wouldn't be able to wait until that day.

When his royal father was still alive, he could give him luxurious clothing and food so that he wouldn't have to worry about anything else. As long as he had a good meal and a good drink, that would be fine.

As far as a man is concerned, does he really have a lot of money in the world? Was he really not afraid at all?

Forget about royal father, even if it was himself, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

That's right, to let someone who has witnessed his own stain to live in this world, wouldn't that be a huge blow to his reputation?

In fact, when Situ Jin told him this, although he was shocked, the thing that finally made him make up his mind was his later words.

Yes, if royal father is still alive and well … then monkey's life is the witness of his true feelings, but what if royal father is unable to continue living?

What kind of existence would he be then?

There was no need to mention it. How many people would want him to die so soon?

Perhaps royal father is one of the most urgent ones.
