Chapter 145: Stubborn Cai'er

"Well, what about that?"

Xingyuan looked away awkwardly.

"So it's because you're embarrassed, isn't it?"

Cai'er put her hand on his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat beneath her, and gently leaned over and lay on Xingyuan.

Xingyuan blushed at Cai'er's initiative and couldn't help but poke Cai'er's head, "You don't seem to be embarrassed by what I said?"

"Of course I can."

Cai Er nodded, then changed the subject and said, "But if it's Xingyuan you want, I'm ready anytime."

"Hit, stop..."

Xingyuan pressed Cai'er's lips and said, "Not today, but since we have been practicing in the carriage for a whole day, let's have a good sleep and rest tonight."

Although she still failed to make the final breakthrough in her relationship with Xingyuan this time, Cai'er was not so depressed when she heard that she could sleep in Xingyuan's arms tonight like she did during the previous trials.

"Ok."

Looking at Xingyuan washing and changing clothes in the bathroom, Cai'er suddenly asked, "Xingyuan, I remember when you were in the Exorcist City Preparatory Professional Academy, you never cared about what others thought of you."

“It’s the same now.”

As Xingyuan answered, he hung the magic robe he had just taken off on the wall, took off the silver cross pendant around his neck and the storage ring on his finger one by one, and then took out the most pleasing clothes from the storage ring that contained dozens of sets of spare clothes.

When there is no need to fight, magicians like Xingyuan basically don't wear magical robes.

As for why they do this, one is because they cherish their equipment, and the other is to avoid appearing too conspicuous when in a crowd.

After all, the demon-level earth spirit robe that Xingyuan had spent a huge amount of money to buy would glow when he wore it normally. Unless Xingyuan left the ground for a long time, the light would gradually dissipate.

I will wear this magic robe that Tan Wan sent me tomorrow...

Xingyuan smelled the faint fragrance from it and thought so in his heart.

"Because the great-grandfather is here too, right?"

Cai'er suddenly said this, which almost scared Xingyuan, and he almost dropped the hanger in his hand.

"Great-great-grandfather? I don't know."

Cai'er: "..."

"Xingyuan, how come you can't lie at all?"

Cai'er held her chin up and pouted as she said, "I don't even have the power of the Sword of Samsara to verify whether what you said is true or not. Please pay more attention."

"Uh……"

Xingyuan was a little confused by Caier's train of thought, so he decided to answer Caier's question from the beginning, "What do you mean by great-grandfather?"

Although she had already determined that Xingyuan was playing dumb with her, Cai'er just gave him a reproachful look and said patiently, "He's following us, right?"

"I don't..." "I already know you went to see him."

Cai'er didn't give Xingyuan any chance to fish in troubled waters. She directly told him the specific time period of the day when Xingyuan met Shengyue, as well as the excuses and reasons he used at that time.

"……All right."

Although he didn't know how Cai'er found out, since she had already said so, Xingyuan didn't refuse to admit it and just admitted it.

After all, this is not a matter of being unfair to Cai'er. Even if Cai'er does not recognize Shengyue as her great-grandfather, he is still Xingyuan's great-grandfather. Moreover, there will be many times in the future when she will need the help of this great-grandfather. How can she not establish a good relationship with him in advance?
"I'm sorry." Xingyuan said honestly.

He was worried that Cai'er would regard his private contact with Shengyue as a betrayal, but fortunately Cai'er did not think so.

"I have nothing to apologize for."

This time it was Cai'er's turn to put her hand on Xingyuan's lips. She looked into his eyes and said, "I know that my willfulness has put you in a difficult position, so no matter how much I hate and dislike those people, I will not ask you to treat them with the same attitude as me...

I know you are not that kind of person and you can't do that kind of thing, and that's one of the things that fascinates me about you."

"Um……"

Xingyuan was a little surprised that Cai'er was so sensible, but he also noticed that there were tears in Cai'er's eyes when she said these words.

Obviously, if you can.

She still hoped that Xingyuan would not have too many ties or even emotions with her original family, but she took into consideration Xingyuan's personality and thought it would be a shame for the Sheng Lingxin couple and others who raised him to speak ill of him like she did.

"Cai'er..."

Xing Yuan swallowed, took a deep breath and asked, "So the reason why you are so pessimistic about the future now is because you have to reconcile with them if you want to pass the next reincarnation inheritance?"

Cai'er didn't say anything, but she lowered her head and dared not look directly into Xingyuan's eyes. This action in itself was an attitude.

"You know, I've always wanted to help you mediate the conflict between you and your family, but if doing so makes you feel uncomfortable, I promise you that I won't do it again..."

In the other room, Shengyue, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating, was actually paying attention to what was happening in Xingyuan and Caier's room.

Because Xingyuan and Cai'er didn't want people to think they were trying to cover up their true intentions, they didn't set up any soundproofing barriers, so Shengyue was able to hear their conversation clearly.

When Shengyue heard Xingyuan say that he would no longer help ease the conflict between Caier and her family, she opened her eyes slightly, with confusion in her eyes.

What is Xingyuan doing?
Is he going to do the same as Cai'er and completely cut off all ties with the Sheng Family?
"I will help you find other ways to pass the test."

Xingyuan grabbed Cai'er's shoulders and forced her to look him in the eye. This was the first time Xingyuan had spoken to Cai'er in such a strong tone: "So you can't be so selfish. When I'm willing to do everything for you, you find someone else to replace you and leave me."

Sheng Yue: “…”

Chen Ying'er, Yue Mingnan: "..."

"I, I promise you."

Cai'er finally agreed to Xingyuan's conditions, but when she said this, she didn't dare to meet Xingyuan's eyes, just like Xingyuan just now, so it was hard to tell whether this was a lie or not.
