Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Su Bai found a place to eat Chinese fast food and had lunch, then quickly returned to the city library to continue reading the book he hadn't finished earlier.

Because there were many people in the afternoon, the seat that Su Bai had sat in in the morning was taken, so Su Bai had to find a new seat. He walked along the bookshelf for a while before finally finding an empty table in the corner, and Su Bai immediately went over.

Just as Su Bai put his things down and before he could even open the book, a smiling voice rang out in front of him, "We really are destined to meet."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai looked up abruptly, "Patriarch Li!?" Why is this person still here!

Li Chengtian chuckled and pulled out the chair opposite Su Bai, sitting down across from him. His gaze quickly swept over the books laid out in front of Su Bai, and he smiled, "Young Master Su, you're interested in mythology?"

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing." One should always be wary of others; Su Bai suffered greatly in his previous life, so he's cautious of everyone in this one. "What brings Patriarch Li here?"

The meeting was so sudden that Su Bai didn't even realize why Li Chengtian, a family head, would personally come to such a common place as the library.

Li Chengtian generously showed the book in his hand to Su Bai, "I'm here to find some calligraphy copybooks. There are some ancient calligraphy copybooks here that are not available for loan."

Su Bai nodded. He knew from his previous life that Li Chengtian loved calligraphy. In order to get Li Chengtian to agree to cooperate with the Su family, he had studied the calligraphy that Li Chengtian liked very much, hoping to have more topics to talk about with Li Chengtian. He never expected that Li Chengtian would come to the city library. If he had known this in his previous life, he would not have had to go through so much trouble to find connections to meet Li Chengtian.

But now none of this concerns him anymore, Su Bai thought calmly.

“Calling me Third Young Master Su feels a bit too formal. How about I just call you by your name? And don’t call me Patriarch Li anymore. How about calling me Brother Li? After all, we’re allies who have suffered together.” Li Chengtian said with a smile, which shocked Su Bai.

"No, no, no! This is inappropriate!" Su Bai waved his hands repeatedly in refusal. Li Chengtian was the head of the Li family, and he was just a lowly illegitimate son. He dared not call someone like Li Chengtian his brother. If Su Yangxia and Su Chengjun found out, his plan to hide on the sidelines and watch the fight would be completely ruined.

Besides, he wished the incident at the birthday banquet had never happened. If Hua Gengchen hadn't saved him back then, Su Bai's reputation would be ruined by now. What alliances or not? That's what he said.

Su Bai's wave of her hand was so large that she accidentally flung the bracelet off her wrist. Li Chengtian's smiling eyes turned cold, and his gaze toward Su Bai became probing. "What's wrong with that? Are you upset that I didn't give you a gift?"

"No! I absolutely did not have such thoughts!" Su Bai recalled the box of gold that had been sent as an apology gift and expressed his thoughts earnestly, "I am not worthy of the Li family head!" Although Li Chengtian was not old, he was a person of higher status than Su Shengrong. How could Su Bai possibly be on friendly terms with him? "I don't have any great ambitions. I just want to live a simple and peaceful life."

"Is that so?" Li Chengtian looked at Su Bai with a particularly meaningful gaze, and it was unclear whether he believed what Su Bai said.

Su Bai laughed awkwardly. How could he be so unlucky! He ran into Li Chengtian twice in one day. If only this opportunity had come in his previous life!

"I think your bracelet is quite nice. What's it made of?" Li Chengtian suddenly changed the subject, catching Su Bai off guard.

"I don't know either, I don't know much about this." Su Bai then realized that the bracelet had been flung out of his sleeve, so he quickly pulled his hand back and stuffed the bracelet back in.

"Can I take a look?" Li Chengtian asked. "I'm quite interested in jade and the like."

Su Bai stared in astonishment at Li Chengtian, who was reaching out his hand to him. Was this really the same Li family head he remembered? It felt like he had been possessed by someone else.

Su Bai gripped the bracelet tightly, his fingertips caressing the golden scale, and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, this is a good luck charm my husband gave me." Even if he could remove the bracelet, he wouldn't show it to Li Chengtian, because he always felt Li Chengtian was acting strangely!

After Su Bai refused, he felt the atmosphere suddenly drop several degrees. Although Li Chengtian still had a refined smile on his face, for some reason, Su Bai felt that there was murderous intent hidden in that smile.

After a tense silence lasting several seconds, Li Chengtian suddenly relaxed and smiled apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous! I can't help but want to play with and explore anything that seems unusual."

Su Bai laughed awkwardly, "It's okay!" He swore that Li Chengtian definitely didn't just want to play around with him.

Having been reborn, Su Bai no longer blindly trusts anyone and is suspicious of everyone except himself. Therefore, he did not miss the fleeting anger in Li Chengtian's eyes.

Why would a mere bracelet enrage Li Chengtian?

Su Bai suppressed this question, because now was not a good time to investigate.

Focusing his attention on the book in front of him, Su Bai made it clear through his actions that he didn't want to talk. From any perspective, Su Bai didn't want to have any interaction with Li Chengtian.

Su Bai didn't expect that when he started reading, Li Chengtian also started reading, sitting right across from him without moving an inch.

This is a public place, and everyone has the right to choose where they want to sit. Su Bai can't just kick people out, and he certainly can't change them to another place in front of Li Chengtian, so he can only maintain the status quo.

At first, Su Bai felt extremely uncomfortable, but soon he was drawn to the book in front of him.

Most of Shennong's life story is about his contributions to human development. Trying to find clues about who drained his blood is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But if we're talking about who Shennong had a grudge against, it's quite obvious.

The Battle of Zhuolu is mentioned in many books about Shennong, where Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang cooperated to defeat Chiyou. Su Bai is a descendant of Shennong, and the person who drained his blood is very likely a descendant of Chiyou's tribe, but this is just Su Bai's speculation, and there is no evidence to prove it. However, Su Bai is not one to make impulsive decisions; he plans to read all the books related to Shennong before making a decision.

Su Bai was engrossed in his book and didn't notice that the brown bear, who was following and protecting him, had seen everything clearly. While his wife was reading, the person sitting opposite her was secretly observing Su Bai.

If what was previously just a gut feeling was now confirmed by the brown bear spirit, the strange man who suddenly appeared was the one trying to steal his master's girlfriend!

The brown bear spirit immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Hua Jueming. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation and he had no idea how to handle it. He thought it would be better to talk to the experienced Hua Jueming first.

After receiving the message from the brown bear spirit, Hua Jueming immediately called the bear spirit to demand, "Who is that person? How did he meet Madam? What did he do to Madam? Tell me everything clearly!"

The brown bear spirit recounted the whole story to Hua Jueming in a very fast and clear voice, and concluded by saying, "I wasn't mistaken, was I? That person was definitely acting strangely, wasn't he?"

"This is really not right!" Hua Jueming roared. Who asks for contact information after being hit by a car? Who would come up to you and chat with you? This is clearly someone with ulterior motives towards his wife! "Why didn't you call sooner!" Now that person is hanging around in front of his wife, this is not a good situation.

The brown bear spirit felt wronged after being yelled at; he didn't really understand emotions! "I was just thinking of waiting and seeing," he said, "what if it's not true?"

Hua Jueming sighed. Indeed, not every demon had such a high level of vigilance as him. "Keep an eye on that treacherous fellow. I'll report to my master right away!" After a moment's thought, Hua Jueming decided to tell Hua Gengchen about this matter, as it was beyond their ability to make a decision.

"Alright." Even if Hua Jueming didn't say anything, the brown bear spirit would keep a close eye on anyone trying to steal his master's wife. The lady belongs to his master, and no one can take her away!

After hanging up the phone, Hua Jueming immediately dialed Hua Gengchen's number, because he felt that the matter had reached a critical point and that sending a message was no longer sufficient to express the urgency of the situation.

The phone rang several times before being answered. Once connected, Hua Jueming said urgently, "Master, something terrible has happened! Someone is trying to steal your partner!"

"???" Hua Gengchen didn't understand what Hua Jueming meant at all, and said coldly, "Speak like a human being."

"Uh!" Hua Jueming chuckled awkwardly, then reorganized his report to Hua Gengchen in simple and easy-to-understand language, "...That's it, that person who suddenly appeared must be plotting something against Madam!"

After hearing Hua Jueming's words, Hua Gengchen, who was already upset because of what Hua Jueming had said two mornings ago, became even more upset. Was Su Bai really that popular among humans?

First it was Wang Ming, and now this person whose name I don't know has come along. He took a liking to Su Bai after only meeting him once.

Hua Gengchen suddenly felt threatened.

What should he do to make Su Bai belong only to him? What should he do to prevent Su Bai from being coveted by others? What should he do to make Su Bai give up the idea of ​​divorcing him and live with him until Su Bai's hair turns white?

Hua Gengchen thought for a moment but couldn't come up with a safe way, because all he knew was how to fight, and none of the methods he could think of were suitable for the current situation.

But one thing is certain: Hua Gengchen.

That is, he didn't want Su Bai to have anyone other than him in his eyes or heart.

"Give me the address!" Hua Gengchen didn't care about saving humans parasitized by the black energy or the responsibilities he should bear. He just wanted to get to Su Bai's side immediately and announce to everyone, especially the person who had ulterior motives towards Su Bai, that Su Bai was his!

It can only be his!

Hua Jueming's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately replied, "Yes, Master." Had his master finally come to his senses? Hua Jueming was overjoyed and quickly sent the address to Hua Gengchen.
