Bai Xiao's hands hanging under his sleeves were slightly clenched.
His heart was beating fast, his mouth was dry, and his ears were ringing.
Finally... I asked this question, and finally I couldn't avoid it...
"Actually, I...I am..."
Bai Xiao took a deep breath and said, "I was also a child of a rich family. My family is the Bai family of Nanyang..."
Wen Jin was stunned when he heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The Bai family of Nanyang? I know that this clan was a famous family in the previous dynasty."
Bai Xiao became more and more nervous, "Yes..."
"But you said last time that you were illiterate, never read a book, and came from a poor family?" Wen Jin said.
Bai Xiao's throat was so dry, "I lied last time. I am literate and have read books. I used to be from a famous family, but I became a petty thief. It was too embarrassing for my ancestors, so I didn't dare to tell the truth."
"Now that the princess saved my life and showed me favors, if I don't say anything... I will be sorry to the princess!"
Wen Jin curled up his lips, "Since you are the Bai family of Nanyang, why don't you go home? Instead of living like this outside?"
The backs of Bai Xiao's palms were all sweaty... When I was studying, I heard that people should not lie.
Because one lie requires countless lies to cover!
I’m not going to deceive you… he still has to go down!
"Because...because my parents are still in the hands of bandits, I don't dare to go back, for fear that the vicious bandits will kill my parents!"
"Back then...my family left Nanyang County for business. Unexpectedly, we encountered bandits on the road and my whole family was kidnapped and taken to the mountains...I escaped by luck and thought of a way to save my parents."
"But the bandits were watching my way back to Nanyang County... I brought out some old and weak children who were abandoned by the bandits, so I couldn't leave them alone..."
Bai Xiao said with difficulty.
At this time, there was a breeze blowing.
The jade wind chime on the corridor makes a tinkling, clear and sweet sound.
Bai Xiao's face turned red... The sound of wind chimes was obviously a pleasant sound, but to him, it sounded more like mocking laughter.
The bottle in Wen Jin's arms suddenly lit up.
Zhuan Xu groaned angrily, "Did you hear that? He's full of lies! Not a single word of truth! Based on Jin'er's experience, I don't believe she can't see that this kid is very cunning! He's a big liar!"
Xiao Yuchen said nothing, and his energy field was also very low.
Wen Jin was silent for a moment and curled his lips.
"I see, you don't have to worry. The imperial court is severely cracking down on bandits, and they will definitely destroy the bandits and rescue your parents!"
Bai Xiao raised his head suddenly and looked at Wen Jin nervously and uneasily, "Ah... this..."
Wen Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I also have some connections in the court. I will tell them to be careful and make sure to save your parents safely!"
Bai Xiao's sweat became even worse.
The light in the glass bottle shone even more intensely.
"She comforted him!" Zhuan Xu was so irritable that he wanted to rush out of the bottle. "She actually smiled so gently and comforted him!"
"He's a bandit, he's a liar! He didn't tell Wen Jin a word of truth! But Wen Jin didn't get angry, but comforted him! Ahhh!"
"Xiao Yuchen! It's all your fault! It's all the fault of your face! She has never comforted me like this in this life, the last life, or many lives! Why? Why?"
Wen Jin's extraordinarily "generous" treatment of Bai Xiao deeply stimulated Zhuan Xu.
If he hadn't only had a trace of soul light left, his anger would have destroyed the world.
Wen Jin didn't know what kind of dire straits she was going through in the glass bottle in her arms.
She looked at Bai Xiao calmly...as if she had understood everything, but she just didn't want to expose him.
Bai Xiao's face was hot and he felt embarrassed.
Under Wen Jin's sharp gaze... he felt like he was being stripped naked and had no way to escape.
But she was gentle and approachable, "Don't worry, once your parents are rescued, we will send them back to Nanyang County."
Bai Xiao: "..."
She must have seen that he was lying!
But maybe, really... he was fooled?
Bai Xiao still has a trace of luck in his heart...
Wen Jin waited for a moment...
No, there is no movement from Tianqi!
Only when she was chasing the bandits, she unexpectedly passed the "joy of learning" test.
She and Bai Xiao were wasting time by pretending to be stupid here... but nothing was gained?
never mind!
Since there was no test to pass at the moment, Wen Jin was too lazy to waste time on Bai Xiao.
"Go back." Her expression suddenly became very indifferent.
She hugged the bottle and turned to leave.
Bai Xiao stood there stupidly, staring at her back until he could no longer see her.
Zhuanxu in the bottle is still manic.
Because Xiao Yuchen was trapped with him, he really couldn't stand the scorching energy field.
Xiao Yuchen said impatiently, "Can't you see that she did it on purpose?"
"This is called a puzzle! Jin'er wasn't deceived by him, he had other plans! Why are you anxious? I believe Jin'er, she has her reasons for doing this!"
Zhuanxu sighed, "I have understood it! Love makes you blind!"
"Not only blind, but also blind in heart! You are like this, and so is Jin'er! You have to know that it is your face that Bai Xiao is holding up!"
"Will Jin'er regard him as you who went astray when you were young? And treat him with special pity and care? Then, you will be deceived by him!"
"Then if Bai Xiao has the character of you and me, he will cheat! But what if he defrauds money, sex, and insults Jin'er?"
Xiao Yuchen's aura suddenly tightened, "What did you say? Your character is dangerous enough!"
"Xiao! Yu! Chen!" Zhuan Xu's aura was filled with heat.
Zhuan Xu snorted, "I am not as knowledgeable as you! I have already thought of a way to let Wen Jin make his own decision. I just need your cooperation! The choice of whether to kill Bai Xiao or not is still in Jin'er's own hands!"
Xiao Yuchen was silent for a moment, "What can I do? Tell me?"
At night, Wen Jin had washed himself and was about to lie down.
Suddenly, I saw the glass bottle on the bedside was like a breathing lamp, lighting up and darkening with each breath.
Wen Jin lay on the bedside table, staring at the glass bottle, "Chen, I know you are here, by my side..."
Before Wen Jin finished speaking, he saw spots of light swimming in the glass bottle.
Just like fish swimming in water...
Then, those light spots formed a character!
Wen Jin frowned slightly and stared at this word without blinking!
She took a slow breath, "What...mean?"
This word is the very clear word "kill".
"Who to kill?" Wen Jinchi asked, holding the glass bottle with one hand, "Chen? What do you want to tell me? Who do you want me to kill?"
Zhuanxu urged, "She recognized it! She recognized it! Come on, put the second word, Bai! This word is simple!"
There are two souls in the bottle, so to put out the words, they must cooperate tacitly.
Xiao Yuchen took his time and said, "Follow my pace and it will be ready in no time!"
Zhuanxu, "Okay, hurry up!"
Zhuan Xu cooperated with Xiao Yuchen's energy flow...
The two slowly used light spots to form the second word in the bottle.
"Ah?" Wen Jin looked at the second word with an expression of extreme surprise on his face.
