Lin Nan leaned towards Auntie Lan in fear.
I couldn’t care less about the others. I rushed forward and asked, “Auntie Lan, are you alright?”
Jing Yan blocked my way. “Hey! Are you clean? Don’t move forward!”
I stopped and glared at Jing Yan without saying a word.
Her gaze faltered for a moment before she turned her face away. I reached out and pushed her to the side. She staggered a few steps and immediately screamed. I turned around to look at her and the rest of the Jing family. Jing Yan immediately lowered her voice. The others also averted their gazes.
Auntie Lan waved at me. “Nanxing, I’m fine.”
I felt slightly relieved. I glanced at Jing Tian, whose face was as dark as water. This fellow must still be angry that I stood him up.
Auntie Lan pulled Lin Nan’s hand again and said to me, “It’s all thanks to Lin Nan. If it wasn’t for Lin Nan’s sharp eyes, I wouldn’t have noticed that there was a small red snake. That snake’s appearance is too strange. It’s obvious that it’s poisonous. I’m really scared!”
Fear flashed across Lin Nan’s face.
I patted Lin Nan’s shoulder and slowed down my voice. “You’re scared, right?”
Lin Nan didn’t know if she was moved by my attitude or if she still had a lingering fear of that snake. She actually had tears in her eyes. She nodded her head, looking very pitiful.
Old Master Jing asked me carefully, “Is it really not a snake raised by Mr. Li?”
I quickly replied, “No, Mr. Li doesn’t raise any snake. I’m afraid that someone has let it in. If they didn’t catch them, then the most important thing now is to catch it quickly so that it won’t hurt anyone.”
Old Master Jing nodded. “Jing Tian, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get someone to catch the snake!”
Jing Tian stood up without saying a word and picked me up as well.
I hurriedly followed him, ignoring the members of the Jing family who were standing on both sides. I caught a glimpse of Lin Nan by Auntie Lan’s side from the corner of my eye. Auntie Lan must like Lin Nan even more now.
After leaving the house, I couldn’t wait to ask Jing Tian, “What happened? Why did you let the snake go? What kind of snake is it? Are you sure it’s in your study room?”
I couldn’t help but complain, “What if it’s not in your study room now? What if it went somewhere else to hurt someone? There are so many people, young and old, in this courtyard. Anyone who gets hurt will suffer!”
Jing Tian kept silent with a dark expression on his face.
I came to a realization and stopped to look at him.
Tong Yan, who was behind me, didn’t stop for a moment and almost bumped into me.
Jing Tian grabbed my waist and pulled me away.
Tong Yan looked at me helplessly with lingering fear. “I’ll go look for it first.”
“You don’t know where his study room is!” I stopped her.
She didn’t even turn her head. “I’ll ask!”
I…
Jing Tian snorted coldly. “Do you feel that you’re needed everywhere?”
It was obvious from his tone that he was angry.
I tiptoed and reached out my hand to touch his face. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Why are you angry with me?”
I smiled brightly at him. Patience was very important.
Jing Tian pushed my hand away and glared at me. “Try asking again.”
I reached out my hand to hug his waist and rubbed my face against his chest. “Don’t be so fussy.”
“Am I fussy? I’m angry!” Jing Tian pulled my hair back gently.
I looked up at him with a smile. “I really have something to do with Tong Yan. My Master was also there. Tong Yan said that my blood sample was very strange. The blood on my left side was poisonous and the right side was slowly turning back to Phoenix Blood. My Master couldn’t explain why, so he needed to observe it slowly.”
As expected, Jing Tian was a little nervous. “Then, will it affect you?”
