Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 985 is here? Do you want to be food? (20)

Xingyu's tone was calm as still water, yet her beautiful eyes were like the deep starry sky, as if they could see through all secrets.

She silently observed Miao Yicheng, whose face was full of worry, trying to catch a clue from the subtle changes in his expression.

As expected, when he heard her words, Miao Yicheng's tense face froze instantly, as if time had suddenly stood still at that moment.

Immediately afterward, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by deep doubt and confusion.

Xingyu took in all of Miao Yicheng's reactions and smiled slightly.

"Father, did that Taoist priest also warn that if my younger brother and sister really couldn't survive these two years of hardship, then not only the two of them, but also our whole family, the entire town, and even more innocent people would be plunged into a huge disaster?"

Miao Yicheng stared wide-eyed at her daughter, who was completely different from the one she knew before. How did she know?

What shocked him even more was that, although their expressions differed slightly, their meanings were exactly the same as those of the Taoist priest, and their underlying implications were identical.

No one else knew this except him! That's why he made the difficult decision to send Xiaoli to Yun Shen Temple to cultivate, hoping that even if she couldn't learn the true essence of Taoism there, she could at least ask the highly respected and skilled Taoist priests in the temple for advice on how to overcome her predicament.

To his surprise, Xiaoli returned from Yun Shen Temple in just a few months. Not only that, but her entire personality underwent a complete transformation.

The innocent, lively, and obedient daughter of the past has become a quiet, reserved, and dignified person, whose behavior is completely unlike that of someone her age.

It's as if I suddenly grew up in these past few months.

Xingyu smiled slightly and said softly as if he knew everything, "Father, the reason why I have changed so much is actually because of you."

Miao Yicheng stared at her with a look of suspicion. Why would she say that?

"If it weren't for Father's insistence on sending me to Yun Shen Temple, I'm afraid I would never have had the chance to see the legendary Luo who is said to be awe-inspiring throughout the world."

Upon hearing this, Miao Yicheng turned deathly pale and began to tremble uncontrollably.

He hurriedly reached out a hand and tightly covered Xingyu's still-open cherry-like mouth, looking around anxiously as if afraid that someone might have overheard their conversation.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Miao Yicheng's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally calmed down a little.

"Xiao Li, don't say things like that again. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, our family will be doomed!"

Fortunately, Wei Shengwang had already left with his men. Otherwise, if they had heard her words, they would definitely have charged her with treason or disrespect.

You should know that Luo is regarded as a sacred and incomparably holy guardian beast that reigns above all people in the entire Luo Kingdom!

Moreover, the Luo Kingdom directly adopted the name of the divine beast as its national title, thus highlighting the revered status and unparalleled authority Luo enjoyed within the kingdom. At the same time, Luo naturally became the guardian deity passed down through generations of the Luo royal family.

Imagine if those powerful figures from the government and even the palace learned that Xingyu had the good fortune to witness Luo, a sight even the current emperor rarely gets to see—the consequences would be unimaginable.

What awaits their family is a horrific bloodbath!

But she was not alarmed at all. Instead, she calmly comforted him, saying, "Father, there is no need to worry. Only you know about this. No one else knows anything about it."

“But Father, I have not uttered a single falsehood. Not long after I entered the Cloud Recesses Temple, Luo appeared in my dreams to see me.”
