Nangong Yu saw He Xi's frown and the worry in her eyes, and couldn't help but take a step forward, hugged her and said, "Xi'er, don't think too much. No matter what that person wants to do, I won't let you get hurt."
He Xi raised his head and glanced at Xiao Chi beside him, then looked back at Nangong Yu and whispered, "Nangong Yu, do you think that person's target is my mother?"
Even though he hadn't even seen the man in red, He Xi always felt a sense of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
After she heard her master talk about An Lingyue, she had been worried that one day, the group of people looking for An Lingyue would come after her and Xiao Chi again.
So now when she heard the news about the man in red, she had a vague feeling in her heart that this man came for An Lingyue.
Nangong Yu's eyebrows jumped slightly, and his hold on He Xi tightened a little.
He suddenly looked up and made a gesture. Baihu and Qinglong understood and immediately turned around to leave. Gu Liufeng also wisely pulled Xiaochi to follow him out.
Nangong Yu then lowered his head and said, "Xi'er, are you sure that your mother An Lingyue is dead?"
He Xi was startled, then tried to look up the original owner's memory, then frowned and said, "I... don't know either. Many things happened too long ago, and I can't remember them clearly."
"But in my memory, my mother disappeared suddenly. I have never seen her body, nor her burial."
Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, "Disappearance does not necessarily mean death. As long as there is no corpse, it is possible that he is still alive."
"But even Nanny Chen has been saying that my mother is dead." He Xi was shocked at first, then shook his head and said, "Besides, if my mother is not dead, how can Nalan Zhengze believe it so firmly? I have been in contact with Nalan Zhengze, and he has never doubted that my mother is dead."
"Besides, if my mother wasn't dead, where would she be now? And why hasn't she shown up yet?"
He Xi's series of questions plunged the entire room into silence.
Nangong Yu sighed and said, "Forget it. Regardless of whether An Lingyue is still alive or not, Xier, don't mention her in front of anyone. Just as your master said, if An Lingyue really came from the upper realm, then those who were looking for her more than a decade ago would definitely not be something we can contend with now."
He Xi nodded, reached out to hug Nangong Yu back, and exhaled softly: "You too, you must protect yourself."
Nangong Yu smiled gently and kissed the top of her head, but in the blink of an eye, the smile on his face was replaced by contemplation.
Is this the man in red from the upper world? Who is he? What is his purpose

Next, He Xi, out of responsibility for the patient, stayed in Yong'an City for a few more days to ensure that Zhuge Xiaotian's illness would not relapse.
After Xiao Chi completely absorbed the second piece of soul jade, his spirit became better and better, and he could say more and more, which made He Xi very happy.
When He Xi woke up early that morning, he didn't see Dandan and the other little guys.
At this moment, Mo Xiaotu came in with a pouty mouth and said angrily, "Sister Xiyue, Dandan and the others are so mean. They didn't even call me when they went to buy gifts! We clearly agreed to go together in the morning. Humph! I will ignore them when we come back!"
Seeing her with messy hair and sleepy eyes, He Xi couldn't help but sneer, "Could it be that you slept in this morning and they couldn't wake you up, so you went by yourself?" (To be continued)
