After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 541

"Why didn't Grandpa Shi go directly to see Xixi?" Jin Yize asked, voicing his doubts from the journey.

Especially when he thought about how his grandfather had specifically told him not to let An Jiuxi know when he called him, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

"I'm not seeing her because it's not a good idea to tell her about this," Old Master Shi said, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness and disappointment.

Jin Yize naturally noticed this emotion, and his heart tightened immediately.

Somewhat uneasy.

"You and Xixi are going to Yunnan and Guizhou, right?"

Grandpa Shi suddenly changed the subject, which made Jin Yize pause for a moment before he realized what was happening and nodded.

“There are indeed some things hidden over there. Take this with you; it might help you get out of trouble in a critical moment.”

As the old man finished speaking, Butler Zhang appeared out of nowhere and placed the tray in front of the two of them.

Jin Yize curiously untied the red cloth and saw that there was actually a pendant on the tray!

“This was left to Xixi by her grandmother before she passed away. It’s not of any use to keep it at home, but it can be of help to you if you take it with you.”

One should not refuse a gift from one's elders.

Jin Yize carefully accepted the pendant, but before he could ask any more questions, he heard the old man in front of him sigh deeply.

"If possible, once you go, don't come back."

Upon hearing this, not only Jin Yize was stunned.

Even Butler Zhang was somewhat stunned.

"why?"

She only knew that when she told Jin Yize that Old Master Shi had said that, and that since they had been in the capital for so long, Old Master Shi had never taken the initiative to see An Jiuxi.

I'm afraid something bad is going on at the Shi family's place that could harm Xixi!

"Is it related to Xixi's sudden surge of spiritual energy last time?"

As soon as Jin Yize said this, Old Master Shi stood up with a serious expression.

"What spiritual energy outburst? When did this happen?!"

Jin Yize's eyes flickered slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly. "Didn't Shi Wenfu tell you?"

Mentioning Shi Wenfu, Old Master Shi suddenly remembered the day when his fourth son rushed home and asked him those questions.

Could it be that day?

But if An Jiuxi's spiritual energy really went berserk, and no one used a secret method to treat her, she wouldn't be able to recover!

Thinking of this, Old Master Shi subconsciously looked at Jin Yize, "Besides the fourth son, who else was there that day?"

Seeing the old man's expression, Jin Yize became even more certain that he truly did not know about this matter.

Just as he was hesitating whether to tell Wen Chuyun, he saw the old man suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.

"Is there someone with the surname Wen?"

After much thought, Old Master Shi concluded that the secret method was known only to him and his wife, and perhaps only to that other family.

However...didn't the Wen family disappear long ago to guard the border?

Could it be that someone was specially left to stay by that little girl's side?

"It's Wen Chuyun, also Xixi's senior brother, and now the owner of Tengwang Pavilion."

Upon hearing this name, Old Master Shi withdrew his hand.

"So it was him. That's not surprising."

Sitting back down, Old Master Shi looked at the ripples in his teacup and knew that some things had to be said eventually.

"Keep what I'm about to say to yourself, and don't tell anyone. When you go to Yunnan and Guizhou, if Xixi likes a place there, never come back. Take her there and live a good life, and stay away from the Shi family forever."
