ong Suxin, there seemed to be some hidden meanings. It appeared that this Nangong Suxin might really have the ability to influence the branch family. If so, she could potentially become one of the top...Chapter 363 Whispering in the Night 2

The woman pondered and soon left, this time for real. Just as she had thought, there were many people around, and if she stayed here, it was highly likely that someone else would discover her.

And she didn't want to be discovered—perhaps just at the moment or perhaps always!

"Strange. If she felt like she'd been found out, why didn’t she use secret transmission A master of this level can't possibly not know how."

"Maybe she doesn't mind being known," Guxing said, relying on her intuition.

"Perhaps, anyway, these words are without a beginning or end; nobody knows what to say. The only thing we can be sure of is that the person who talked before was an insider and seeing them is all there is to it—whether they talk or not doesn't matter." Xianyao said casually then continued sitting in meditation and resting.

Not mind Of course, what’s the point in minding; it's got nothing to do with him!!

Like Xianyao, Guxing was also unmindful. Soon, she entered a state of cultivation and would not let any opportunity slip by, feeling ashamed for wasting even a moment. Naturally, she wouldn't mind other irrelevant matters.

Another quiet night passed, and with the arrival of the new day, Xianyao and Guxing went to breakfast. This time they did not run into the Yin sisters again—there weren’t many people up this early. Even those who had military training would not get up so early.

It was still dark at this hour; most were just getting up, and very few would be like Xianyao and Guxing.

However, Xianyao did run into someone interesting—Niu Jian. He got up even earlier than them and was already eating steamed buns one after another on the table as if he could never get enough.

"Kid, sorry about yesterday; would you like to eat with me" Niu Jian said immediately upon seeing Xianyao and invited him warmly to have steamed buns together.

Xianyao smiled and sat down in response, picking up a bun to eat. With someone like Niu Jian, there was no need for formalities.

"Did Miss Ruoxi talk to you" Xianyao asked while eating.

“Ah How did you know Did you eavesdrop on our conversation” Niu Jian started in surprise and then became stern, as if he wanted to settle accounts with Xianyao.

"Did I need to eavesdrop" Xianyao smiled and picked a bun for Guxing. She took it without hesitation or reluctance.

Seeing such an incomparably beautiful woman eating white-flour steamed buns is simply unforgivable!!

This scene would likely offend many people who would blame Xianyao as the culprit, with some acting on their anger.

"Without eavesdropping, how did you know" Niu Jian asked puzzledly but continued to stuff his mouth full of buns.

"You saying sorry to me is proof enough. If Miss Ruoxi hadn’t talked to you, would you have said sorry to me" Xianyao laughed as he asked.

“No! You seem very smart; I don't like smart people because I am stupid.” Niu Jian looked at Xianyao and said bluntly.

“…”

Xianyao was a bit powerless, this Niu Jian really had something going for him!

"I'm not necessarily smart; just more observant. You will find many things if you're careful too, regardless of intelligence or stupidity."

“Is that so Can I do it then” Niu Jian asked in puzzlement.

“Of course!” Xianyao replied.

"How" Niu Jian immediately asked, looking at Xianyao with expectant eyes.

"It's simple. Before you do anything, think about it carefully. If that isn't enough, think again! This can also apply to your behavior; before doing something, think of how and why you should do it, instead of just jumping right in!"

“No, I don’t like thinking.” Niu Jian shook his head and rejected Xianyao’s advice. Others had tried this approach without success; there was no way Xianyao could make him change so quickly.

Xianyao smiled and said, "Do you know what Miss Ruoxi dislikes most about you It's that you never think before acting. You may not consider the consequences to yourself but must always think how your actions might affect those around you!"

“…” Niu Jian looked at Xianyao and seemed moved; the power of love is indeed strong, capable of easily changing a person's thoughts.

But he didn’t know that this conversation would change his life in ways he couldn't imagine.

Originally someone who never considered consequences before acting, now he’d start to think, even just a little, and it was enough to make him change. Often others were fooled by his appearance and suffered great losses as a result.

"Do you think Ruoxi would like me" Niu Jian asked; this question had obviously been through his mind before.

“Like or dislike is vague; all I know is that she who is nearest to the water gets the moon first. As long as you maintain your relationship with her and occasionally get close, find opportunities to make a move, there’s an 80% chance of success.” Xianyao said while eating buns, teaching an innocent good-hearted man how to misbehave.

“Find opportunities to make a move What does that mean” Niu Jian asked in puzzlement.

"What this means is, if you have a chance to be alone with her, seize it. If there's an opportunity for holding hands or even physical intimacy, take advantage of them! Even at the cost of your life!" Xianyao glanced around and spoke in a low voice.

Niu Jian shook his head, "That's not good; we should first perform the wedding ceremony before doing that."

Xianyao helplessly shook his head, looking exasperated: "To call you stupid is an understatement! Don't you want to marry her You just need to get close to her first and then marry her. This is simply a matter of order. Besides, this isn't about going into the bridal chamber; if there's an opportunity, don't let it slip by..."

...

Gu Xing looked at Xianyao.

"I'm only helping him; I wouldn't do such things!" Xianyao said softly.

...

"It's still not acceptable! I can't do that!!" Niu Jian shook his head again, refusing to accept this suggestion.

Determined, Xianyao asked, "Then are you willing for Miss Ruixi to be taken by someone else"

"No, I don't want her to!" Niu Jian immediately shouted.

"So here's your choice: either let someone else take her or find an opportunity yourself. Which one do you choose" Xianyao asked.

"Well...I'll try finding the chance myself..." Niu Jian finally gave in.

"Great, a promising student! But remember, don't be too obvious; let things happen naturally," Xianyao said.

Niu Jian didn't understand and asked, "How do you mean by happening naturally"

Smiling mysteriously, Xianyao replied, "That depends on yourself. Do whatever feels right to you; better safe than sorry."

"Alright, I got it!" Niu Jian nodded seriously.

Xianyao looked at Gu Xing, sensing her puzzlement in his eyes. She found it strange why Xianyao had suddenly instructed Niu Jian like this.

Following the heavenly mandate; they are destined to be together. I'm just doing a favor that may come in handy later. Also, he can help take care of you; as a local with some influence, his aid would be beneficial for me, Xianyao whispered to Gu Xing.

Oh, so it's like this...

Gu Xing understood that although Xianyao dislikes taking advantage of others, he wouldn't turn down such a favor. She never doubted his judgment.

"Thanks for your reminder, bro! But may I know how you'd like to be addressed" Niu Jian started addressing Xianyao as brother, and if he succeeded in the future, he might even worship him; at that point, whatever Xianyao asked would be a matter of speaking.

"I'm called Xianyao. This is my boss Gu Xing, who will later become your junior sister. You should take care of her," Xianyao said and unceremoniously set up a protective network for her.

"Taking care of her is natural; as for being junior sister... Wait, junior sister Let me think about it. Are you saying she will join the Phoenix Jade Family with us" Niu Jian seemed to be getting better at thinking things through.

"Yes," Xianyao nodded.

"Then of course I'll protect her. That's my duty." Niu Jian patted his chest and said.

"Not you, just my boss alone; I have other things to do." Xianyao explained that Niu Jian had misunderstood.

"Oh, understood! She's in your care then. No one will bully her," Niu Jian didn't ask about Xianyao's business but promised him he'd look after Gu Xing.

"Thanks; I believe you'll do it. We're leaving now, see you at the Phoenix Jade Family!" Xianyao said with a smile and bowed in gratitude before preparing to leave.

"Leave first Why not go together" Niu Jian asked.

"We can't wait for you, nor can you leave Ruixi," Xianyao replied.

"Why not wait"

"I don't want to waste time waiting..." Xianyao gave this reason and then left with Gu Xing. On the way out, he grabbed a few steamed buns; for Niu Jian, whether more or less didn't make much difference.

"Oh, see you!" With his mouth full of bun, only when Xianyao was about to leave did Niu Jian say this and then continued eating.

Xianyao rode out a horse with Gu Xing, speeding away quickly.

Horse He didn't walk all the way here; why not use a means of transportation if it's available Although Xianyao had little spare money, he could still afford an ordinary one.

As for why they were leaving in such haste and without waiting, this was also part of his reason.

"Faster! Leave them behind; don't go with them or we'll end up staying in the straw shed again!!" (To be continued)she wants the opportunity and will also face danger, that's just how things are," sighed Immortal Loaf. Although he was a little regretful about not being able to see this peerless beauty, he didn't f...
