Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs

Xi Yao composed herself, revealing a serious expression unlike any she had before:

"Mother, do you know where Xie Changkong's martial arts skills come from?"

Lin Wantang paused, slowly leaned back in her chair, and lowered her eyes, saying:

"How would I know? This is a martial arts world, and there are many different styles of martial arts. Maybe he just got a martial arts manual from somewhere and became incredibly skilled."

Xi Yao sighed, "Mother, in this world, only the two of us truly understand each other. We come from the same place, share the same values, and have the same thoughts. We are the only people I can confide in. Why do you still lie to me even now?"

You've kept all this bottled up inside for so many years, it's made you depressed. It's so good to talk about it. I'm willing to be your confidant. What else do you have to worry about?

Lin Wantang lowered her eyes to look at the pattern on the hem of her clothes, her eyelashes trembling, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves.

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a while.

She raised her head, her gaze sharp as she looked at Xi Yao, and slowly spoke:

"Xi Yao, tell me the truth, why are you so interested in Xie Changkong's affairs?"

You know he's dangerous, yet you still recklessly go to find out about him. What are you after?

Xi Yao's lips curved slightly. "If I told you that this matter concerns the life and death of Yun Gui and me, and that what I did was out of necessity, would you believe me?"

[Host, are you crazy? You actually told Lin Wantang about this?]

996 was so anxious he almost jumped up, his electronic feathers practically exploding.

[She is, after all, Xie Changkong's wife. Even if she's a time traveler, she's been here for decades, and her feelings for Xie Changkong must be very deep. By saying this, aren't you putting yourself in danger?]

"Don't rush," Xi Yao patted 996 reassuringly. "I don't do things I'm not sure I can do."

She was talking to 996 in her mind, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Wantang.

"What did you say?"

Lin Wantang's eyes widened, her whole body tense like a fully drawn bowstring, and she grabbed Xi Yao's hand:

"It concerns your and Yun Gui's life and death? What do you mean by this?! Why are you forced into this situation? Who is threatening you? Tell me!"

Something was clearly wrong with her; Xi Yao could even feel her trembling.

"There are some things I can't say specifically," Xi Yao said tentatively. "But Mother, this matter is really important to me. If you know, you must tell me."

"Very important, very important."

Lin Wantang kept repeating it.

She slowly released Xi Yao, leaned back in her chair, and looked somewhat dazed.

"Mother?"

"You go first, I'll think about it."

Lin Wantang waved her hand weakly.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Xi Yao got up and left without hesitation.

[Host, Lin Wantang seemed a bit off just now. She appeared frightened, yet also somewhat agitated. What happened?]

Even those working 996 hours can't help but scratch their necks in frustration.

It really didn't understand why Lin Wantang reacted so strongly to the host's words.

A dark glint flashed in Xi Yao's eyes. "996, have you ever read a time-travel novel?"

[Yes, I've read them. To pass the time and to help you complete your mission better, I've read quite a few time-travel novels and even watched a lot of time-travel dramas.]

"So, what do you think often happens in time travel stories?"

[There are many, host. What exactly are you trying to say?]

996 blinked its big eyes, looking at its host with a puzzled expression.

I don't understand why she suddenly started making riddles.

Xi Yao's lips curled up, but her eyes were unfathomably dark.

"996, that's the most common type of work, like yours."

Why am I the one who's most often like this...?

The 996 work schedule suddenly stalled, and a pair of electronic eyes stared wide open.

[Host, you mean the system? Do you suspect Lin Wantang has a system? No, I haven't found anything about it.]

Although it can't gather information in this world, if there's a system around, nothing can escape its eyes!

That's confidence!

Xi Yao narrowed her eyes. "Perhaps there used to be a system, but now that the system is gone, you can't detect it."

[How did you know, host?]

"996, have you forgotten? You said Xie Changkong's martial arts style doesn't belong to this world, and the person from another world at that time was Lin Wantang."

She's a human from Earth, she couldn't possibly have martial arts manuals, so where did she get them from?

[I understand, host. You mean Lin Wantang has a system, and through the system, he obtained martial arts manuals, which he then gave to Xie Changkong, thus enabling him to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.]

"Yes, I was already suspicious when Xie Changkong tested me. Coupled with Lin Wantang's reaction just now, she must have been asked by the system to do some kind of task."

That's why she reacted so strongly when I said I had no choice and that it concerned my life and death with Yun Gui.

My first question was whether she had been coerced by anyone.

Clearly, Lin Wantang suspects that she also has a system and is under pressure from it to complete tasks.

That mission was related to Xie Changkong.

Wow, host, you're amazing!

The 996 praise immediately followed.

But Lin Wantang still won't tell you, what are you going to do?

Xi Yao chuckled, "So now we need to start with Xie Changkong."

When Lin Wantang and Xie Changkong broke up, she hated Xie Changkong.

However, judging from their situation, love can breed hate.

We need to uncover some of Xie Changkong's past actions to make Lin Wantang completely give up before she will reveal them.

Xi Yao returned to Guiyun Pavilion in a pleasant mood and then organized the information about Xie Changkong that she had collected during this period.

She discovered that Xie Changkong would send money to a fixed place every month.

There is no clear information regarding the specific location or the person who received the money.

[996, you've gone to Xie Changkong's level, why are you still secretly giving him money?]

It's still a considerable amount of money.

[He might be keeping a mistress on the side.]

996 complained.

"Unlikely." Xi Yao's fingers traced the Xuan paper, lost in thought. "If he really had his eye on someone, he would have brought her back to Feixue Manor long ago."

Just like when he brought Shen Miaoyin and Liu Yiyi back, he had no worries at all.

In this Snowflake Manor, who can stop him?

That might mean they've been blackmailed or threatened with something they don't know.

996's casual remark made Xi Yao's eyes light up slightly.

"That might actually be true."

【what? 】

996 was stunned, looking completely bewildered.

[Host, I'm talking nonsense. Xie Changkong's martial arts are so high now, who would dare threaten him? They would have been killed long ago.]

This is the martial world; might makes right.

Who dares to threaten Xie Changkong?

"Perhaps it's something even Xie Changkong finds troublesome?"

Or rather, at least those he cannot openly touch.

Xie Changkong wants to unify the martial arts world, so at the very least, his reputation can't be too bad.
