Xue Pan's face flushed, he loosened his feet, looked up and gave Xue's mother a forced smile.

"I, I'm fine."

Mother Xue looked at her son Xue Pan and shook her head helplessly.

However, Xue Pan was still looking at Linghu Chong with respect. Yes, it was a look of respect.

Moreover, Xue's mother knew her son very well, so how could she have ever seen such a change in him?

Thinking about his son's changes and the gradual decline of the Xue family, it is time to recruit people.

Although Linghu Chong is a knight-errant, he is also a capable one.

Suddenly, an idea arose in my mind, which I thought was extremely mysterious.

Then he looked at Xue Pan and asked with a smile,

"Pan'er, Young Master Linghu saved you and has done a great favor to our Xue family!"

Then he turned to look at Linghu Chong and said gently,

"My Xue family is not one that is ungrateful. I heard from Pan'er that you are also traveling alone."

"Now that you've offended those damned bandits for my Pan'er, how about you stay in my Xue family?"

Linghu Chong's stern face darkened again, but fortunately his expression remained unchanged and no one noticed.

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan looked at Linghu Chong nervously and nodded.

"Yes, Brother Chong, just stay!"

Linghu Chong glanced at Xue Pan calmly, then clasped his fists towards Xue's mother and said,

"Mrs. Xue..."

Xue's mother smiled and waved her hand.

"Young Master Linghu and Pan'er are on equal terms. If you don't mind, just call me aunt."

Although Linghu Chong felt that this name was a bit speechless, he couldn't say anything disdainful.

I could only bow to Xue's mother.

"Learn from Auntie!"

"it is good!"

Mother Xue smiled and nodded, looking at Linghu Chong lovingly, as if she was really looking at her own descendant.

Linghu Chong clasped his fists and continued,

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie and Brother Xue, but I'm used to being alone."

"The reason I accompanied Brother Xue to the Lin Mansion this time was because I was afraid that the thieves from Qingfeng Village would come looking for Brother Xue again."

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan looked at Linghu Chong with gratitude.

Linghu Chong continued,

"Now that Brother Xue has returned sadly, I will still leave after arriving in Jinling. Thank you, Auntie, and Brother Xue for your kindness!"

Xue Pan immediately said anxiously,

"Brother Chong..."

Linghu Chong said sternly,

"Brother Xue, there's no need to say anything more!"

Xue's mother listened to what the two said, and although she wanted to keep this fox-like creature with Xue Pan so that he could turn over a new leaf, she was still very happy.

However, Linghu Chong's current behavior shows that he is used to being at ease, so he will definitely not agree to it.

But it was rare for her son to wake up. Xue's mother thought for a moment and her eyes turned.

Seeing that Xue Pan was about to say something to Linghu Chong, he gently rebuked Xue Pan,

"Pan'er, stop being so unreasonable!"

Xue Pan turned his head and looked at Xue's mother.

"Mom~"

Xue's mother shook her head slightly, thinking that her silly son didn't even have any tricks.

Ignoring Xue Pan, he smiled and said to Linghu Chong,

"Young Master Linghu, uh, your name is Linghu Chong. I'm being a bit rude and calling you Chong'er, so you wouldn't mind, would you?"

Linghu Chong was slightly stunned and slowly shook his head.

"Of course not!"

Xue's mother nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Linghu Chong,

"Pan'er was also robbed by those damn bandits in Qingfeng Village this time, and he's frightened and worried. Chong'er, don't take his words to heart."

Linghu Chong was slightly stunned, and his heart skipped a beat.

The reason why he was unwilling to stay in front of Xue's mother and Xue Pan was naturally not because he was unwilling to stay in the Xue family.

But he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of the Xue family, which would be more beneficial to his own actions.

But for now, I can only nod.

"Auntie, you are too kind!"

Mother Xue smiled and nodded and continued,

"Tomorrow we will return to Jinling. As Pan'er said, I'll have to ask you to escort us along the way."

"Besides, with the name of my Xue family, your whereabouts can be more secretive."

Linghu Chong thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"it is good!"

Xue's mother smiled heartily and clapped her hands, and Butler Zhang walked in.

Xue's mother directly ordered,

"Butler Zhang, please arrange a room for Chong'er in the courtyard! He will leave with us tomorrow!"
