After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 382: Trust

Seeing this, City Lord Baiyu stood up and gently put a white robe that had been tailor-made for Xiaoruo on her body, then straightened the wrinkles on the robe.

"Young Master Shen, please have Xiao Ru wear this when you take her out in the future. It will help avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"Furthermore, Young Master Shen need not consult me ​​on his actions. I trust that you will return Xiao Ruo to me in good health," Lord Bai Yu earnestly instructed.

"Rest assured, City Lord, I will do my best," Shen Xu replied earnestly.

After leading Xiao Ru out of the top floor, Shen Xu introduced himself: "My name is Shen Xu, you can call me Brother Xu. I also have a younger sister who is about your age, but unfortunately she can't speak."

At this point, Shen Xu felt that he should bring Wuyou to the Four Directions Sword Alliance, perhaps there was a way to cure his muteness there.

"It's so pitiful that she can't speak. Is she sick like Xiaoruo?"

“Yes, but like Xiao Ruo, I will cure all your illnesses,” Shen Xu said with a smile.

“Then I believe in you, Brother Xu!” Xiao Ru said earnestly, looking up at Shen Xu’s smile.

"Why do you suddenly trust me so much?" Shen Xu couldn't help but wonder, since the child had just been quite afraid of him.

"I don't know either, I just trust you." Xiao Ruowei frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu's expression turned serious. He knew that betraying a child's trust was a very serious matter that would severely damage his reputation as a good person.

Therefore, he must help this girl obtain the inheritance from her ancestors.

Shen Xu and Xiao Ruo returned to the place they had agreed upon with Li Xiaoyi and the others. He was a little annoyed to see that no one was there. What could the four of them possibly be doing?

"When can we go inside and take a look?" Xiao Ru asked, looking at the scenery outside with obvious eagerness.

"We need to wait for a few people. Actually, I'm not qualified to go in, but someone will take us in later. And they're all richer than the last. If you're sweet-talking, they definitely won't treat you badly."

What does "sweet-talking" mean?

"It means saying things they like to hear, praising their beauty, etc. If you make them happy, they will naturally give you benefits. The white crane that saved you ignores them all day long, but they still take the initiative to approach it, let alone you, Xiao Ruo."

"But I don't want to talk to people I don't like."

"That's not a problem, but they're all really nice people, so you probably won't dislike them."

"Yes! I believe in Brother Xu."

"Uh... I'm just guessing. Whether you like them or not is your subjective feeling. Don't let my words influence your judgment. If you don't like someone, just stay away from them."

"But there's one person you still need to be careful with. After all, you'll be staying with her for a while, so you can't let things get too tense," Shen Xu advised.

"Xiao Ru understands and won't make things difficult for Brother Xu."

“You and Wuyou must get along very well,” Shen Xu couldn’t help but sigh, as if he saw Wuyou’s shadow in Xiaoruo.

"Is Wuyou the younger sister that Brother Xu mentioned earlier?"

"Yes! She's a very sensible child. I'll bring her to Tianjian City so you can get to know her. I can guarantee you'll really like her this time."

"Really? Xiaoruo likes making friends."

"Of course, although she can't speak, I taught her how to 'speak' with gestures. As long as you can learn it, simple communication is not a problem."

"I want to learn." Xiao Ru looked at Shen Xu with a serious expression.

Seeing the girl's earnest look, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile: "Alright! Actually, it's quite easy to learn..."

……

"What a pity, why did it suddenly close down?" Bai Lu said with great regret.

"Indeed, I also want a mask like yours, Sister Xiao Yi." Ye Zhi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Someone will take over the shop later, and you can go and take a look then," Li Xiaoyi said.

"Xiao Yi, how do you know so much?" Bai Lu couldn't help but ask curiously.

“I just talked to the shop owner yesterday. She said she would leave, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”

"That is indeed a pity, after all, it was only one day short." Guan Bi sighed softly. She had been thinking that she finally had the money to splurge once, so as to stop Xiao Ruohuang from showing off in front of her. She didn't expect to miss the opportunity.

"I want to ask if Qingyun's mask becomes stronger the more flowers bloom?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.

"Also, I feel that Qingyun doesn't seem like a qualified person in a high position. How did she manage to bring you all together?" Bailu asked as well.

Li Xiaoyi replied calmly, "This concerns the privacy of a councilor, so it's best if you don't inquire about it here. I think it's better if you ask her directly when she comes to Qinglingxi next time."

"Forget it, since it's a confidential matter, I won't pry. I wonder if Shen Xu has dealt with his situation yet?"

"No matter what Lu Qingshan chooses in the end, Shen Xu will probably still come to you for help, Miss. Have you thought about whether you want to help Shen Xu?" Guan Bi suddenly asked.

"It depends on what he wants from me. If he expects me to force the Qin family to pretend this never happened, then he's overestimating me. However, if Lu Qingshan is willing to get back together with Wang Ya, I can act as their mediator."

But based on my understanding of Lu Qingshan, he definitely wouldn't choose that. He finally won Qin Qing's heart, so how could he give it up so easily? I guess he will definitely confess this to Qin Qing and then await the Qin family's judgment.

He chose this path himself, and I have no reason to offend the Qin family for the sake of someone unrelated to him.

If Shen Xu wants to help Lu Qingshan, let him go himself!

“I don’t think Shen Xu would go so far as to help Lu Qingshan suppress the Qin family. After all, Miss, you said that Shen Xu’s best friend is Wang Ya’s brother. He is probably afraid that Lu Qingshan’s affairs will involve Wang Ya. After all, if the Qin family insists on having Lu Qingshan as their son-in-law, then Wang Ya and her family behind her will be in the way.”

So I guess his goal was to prevent the Qin family from getting involved, and instead let Lu Qingshan handle the matter himself.

"It's really tough on Shen Xu. It wasn't his business, but who told him to be such a busybody?" Ye Zhi couldn't help but shake her head with a light laugh.

"If that's the case, I wouldn't mind helping him this once," Bai Lu said thoughtfully.

“Shen Xu won’t ask you for help, especially for something that might offend people. He hates trouble, so he won’t easily cause trouble for others,” Li Xiaoyi said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, the group looked at Li Xiaoyi with some surprise, and then fell silent.

After a moment, Bai Lu smiled and said, "Since he doesn't want me to show my face, then I'll help him from behind the scenes! After all, without my help, he won't be able to see the person who can decide the affairs of the Qin family."
