The two looked at each other and tacitly pretended to know nothing.

"Let's go meet him together!"

Lin He immediately led the way, and Bai Yuan and Wuming followed behind.

The second floor of Xuanxin Pavilion.

Wei Wuji was sitting here drinking tea and waiting for Bai Yuan and the others. Facing such a big man of extremely distinguished status, Lin He certainly did not dare to neglect him. He specially asked someone to prepare the best snacks and entertain them well.

This time when he came to find Bai Yuan and Wuming, he did not bring too many people with him, and there was only a maid who came in with him.

The maid stood quietly aside, holding a baby.

Not long after, Bai Yuan and Wuming arrived.

"Greetings, Lord Xinling!"

The two of them bowed.

Wei Wuji stood up and helped the two of them up: "Hey, didn't I tell you that there's no need to be so polite? Sit down and talk!"

After sitting down, Bai Yuan looked at the maid holding the child with some confusion.

"Sir, why are you here this time? Why did you bring a child with you?"

"You two don't know?" Wei Wuji raised his eyebrows, "Last night Wei Yong mobilized the Wei Wuzu to kill Xuan Jian and silence him!"

Bai Yuan and Wuming looked at each other with surprised expressions.

"This actually happened?" Bai Yuan said, his expression changed from surprise to a smile. "Since you are here so leisurely, it means Wei Yong was unsuccessful. You should have successfully found evidence of his collusion with Luowang, right?"

Wei Wuji smiled, "You guessed right! It's a coincidence that two mysterious people suddenly appeared last night. Like you, they also knew about Wei Yong's collusion with Luowang. Not only did they expose the truth on the spot, they also helped Xuan Jian. Now they have fled the city."

These words have a hint of temptation.

He knew very well that Bai Yuan and Wuming were both skilled in martial arts. After all, even Luowang's top killers did not dare to act rashly in front of them and could only surrender.

When Wei Wuji heard Wei Gang say that someone helped Xuan Jian, his first reaction was that it was Bai Yuan and the other man who did it.

But after hearing Wei Gang's description, he felt that something was not right. The Assassin who looked androgynous was too different from Bai Yuan.

Faced with Wei Wuji's test, Bai Yuan pretended not to hear it and showed a regretful expression.

"Is there such a thing? It seems like we missed a big show last night!"

Wei Wuji couldn't tell anything from the two men's faces, so he could only give up. He sighed and continued, "This is indeed a big drama. Now that Wei Yong's crimes have been exposed, he has been arrested by us and is waiting for the king to decide his fate."

Bai Yuan smiled and congratulated him: "It seems that we should congratulate you, sir! Catching this traitor must be a great achievement."

Wei Wuji waved his hand slightly: "This is also thanks to the information from the two of you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. I came here this time to thank you two and to fulfill the agreement between us."

After hearing this, Bai Yuan smiled and nodded, then changed the topic to the baby again.

"Young Master said he was here to fulfill his promise, so why did he bring a baby with him?"

Wei Wuji gave a rather helpless bitter smile: "This is actually Xuan Jian's child."

After hearing this answer, although Bai Yuan and Wuming had already guessed it in their hearts, they still made surprised expressions.

"Why is Xuan Jian's child here, young master?"

Wei Wuji sighed and began to explain to them.

"Last night, while Wei Yong was away, I sent people to other mansions to search for evidence. Not only did I find a so-called death list, but I also found a baby. From the maid who took care of the baby, I learned that this was Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian's child. Wei Yong used this child to threaten Xuan Jian to assassinate the general."

"Now that Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian have escaped from the city and Wei Yong has been captured, there is no one to take care of this child. I can't make any arrangements, so I thought of you two."

Wei Wuji was a kind and generous person. After getting Xuan Jian's child, he had no intention of using it to threaten Xuan Jian.

Unlike Wei Yong, he was unwilling to use a child as a threat.

So he decided to leave the child to someone else to take care of, and the candidates were naturally Bai Yuan and Wuming.

Although Wei Wuji had no evidence to show that Bai Yuan and Wuming were the ones who rescued Xuan Jian last night, he still felt that there must be some connection between the two and Xuan Jian.

This step of his was also a test.

Bai Yuan suddenly felt a little tricky. He didn't expect Wei Wuji to be so proactive. This step of testing was more dangerous than the previous ones, but they promised Xuan Jian to help him rescue the child. How should they deal with this?

At this time, Wuming suddenly stood up and bowed to Wei Wuji.

"Young Master is truly righteous. Wuming admires you!"

Wei Wuji was a little confused by this. What happened?

Regardless of other people's reactions, Wuming continued talking to himself.

"Now that Wei Yong has committed treason, the King of Wei will surely implicate many people in his rage. What crime has this poor newborn baby committed? And the young master is kind-hearted and is willing to take the risk of being blamed by the King of Wei to send the baby to us. Since the young master thinks so highly of us, we will not disappoint him and will take good care of the child!"

Wuming's series of flattery not only resolved Wei Wuji's temptations, but even made him feel a little embarrassed.

Bai Yuan felt a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect Wuming to compliment people like a sow putting on a bra, one set after another, which almost made Wei Wuji lose his mind.

Chapter 41 Anyone Can Do As Long As It’s Not Me!

Wei Wuji's attempt completely failed because Wuming gave him the compliment of being kind and benevolent.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, then smiled and waved to the maid.

"Mr. Wuming, thank you for your compliment. Since you have agreed to adopt this child, I will leave him to you!"

Wuming carefully took the child from the maid.

At this moment, the little guy was sleeping soundly and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"The carriage I promised you is now ready. It's outside. Also, this is my token. When you want to leave the city, just show me the token and you will be able to leave without any hindrance."

After talking about the child, Wei Wuji took out a token of unknown material and handed it to the two of them.

Bai Yuan took the token and thanked him.

"The transaction has been completed. I still have things to deal with. I can't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now!"

The purpose of his coming here today had been achieved, so Wei Wuji planned to go back and continue dealing with Wei Yong's affairs.

"Master, walk slowly!"

Bai Yuan and Wuming sent him to the door and watched him get on the carriage and leave.

When he left, he left behind a carriage similar to the one he was riding in, which was the luxurious carriage that Bai Yuan had been thinking about.

"You are truly worthy of being Lord Xinling, you are so generous when you spend money!"

Bai Yuan looked around the carriage and couldn't help but sigh, then immediately ordered Lin He to put the carriage in place, especially the horses pulling the carriage, who must be fed well.

When the two brought Xuan Jian's child to the backyard, they saw Lu telling Ning Yan the story of the demon boy Nezha that Bai Yuan had told him before.

At this time, he talked about the story of Nezha, who had three heads and six arms, fighting against Ao Long and his rebellious life without accepting his fate.

Words like "My destiny is in my own hands" and "If fate is unfair, I will fight it to the end" opened Ningyan's eyes.

Hearing footsteps, the two noticed that Bai Yuan and Wuming had returned, and they could only listen to the story next time.

They were all curious when they saw the baby in Wuming's arms.

"Didn't you go to see Lord Xinling? Why did you bring back a child?"

"This is Xuan Jian's child, sent by Lord Xinling. It just so happens that we promised Xuan Jian to rescue his child."

Bai Yuan briefly explained the child's origins.

At this moment, the baby who was originally sleeping suddenly woke up, twisted his body uneasily in Wuming's arms, and then burst into tears. The loud sound scared everyone.

Wuming tried to comfort the baby, but the baby's crying only got louder.

Bai Yuan tried to put a finger close to his mouth and found that he wanted to suck his finger, so he immediately made a guess.

"He must be hungry, Ningyan, go and carry him to eat something."

Ningyan was stunned when she was suddenly called.

"Huh? Me? What should I feed him?"

Ningyan took the child in a panic. She had no experience in taking care of children and seemed a little at a loss when she heard Bai Yuan's words.

"Well... go ask Lin He if he has any goat milk, and feed him some goat milk or something!"

Bai Yuan also saw Ning Yan's embarrassment, so he gave her some advice.

In fact, he himself has no experience.

Ningyan nodded, then ran to find Lin He with the child in her arms.

As soon as she left, Bai Yuan felt his ears suddenly became much quieter.

"Huh! He's finally gone. This kid is so scary!"

Wuming couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words: "I didn't expect you would be afraid of a baby?"

"Mr. Wuming, please stop teasing me, or else I'll let you take care of this child?"

“Ahem… Never mind. Let Miss Ningyan take care of it.”

Wuming refused immediately when he heard it.

It's okay for him to take care of a person on the road, but if he is asked to take care of a hungry baby, he really can't do it.

Bai Yuan just made a joke and did not continue discussing the issue.

Anyway, as long as it’s not him who takes care of the child, anyone can do it!

After a long time, Ningyan came back, looking a little tired.

"I'm back. Where's the child?"

"He drank some goat's milk and then fell asleep again, so I left him in the care of others."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the child before returning him to Xuan Jian and his wife."

"But......"

"No buts, it's settled. It's just taking care of a child. I believe you will have no problem with it!"

Bai Yuan interrupted Ning Yan directly and decided the matter.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Ningyan could only accept it. After all, she was just a maid now.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Ningyan visibly losing her luster.

I didn't expect that a top-notch killer like Luowang would become like this because of a baby.

Of course, he is just the pot calling the kettle black.

"Okay, I won't let you take care of me for long. Go pack your luggage later. We will leave Daliang tomorrow."

"We're leaving?"

After hearing the news, Ningyan's face looked much better.

"Yes! Originally we just wanted to get a carriage for our journey. Now we have been in Daliang for nearly half a month. It is time to set off."

They themselves didn't expect that so many things would happen in Daliang.

After staying here for so long, I can finally leave.

Ningyan was also feeling fortunate in her heart that she didn't have to take care of Xuan Jian's child all the time. Once she left the city tomorrow, she would be able to relax.

And in Xuanxin Pavilion, she doesn't need to take care of the child personally. Lin He has already arranged a special maid to look after the child.

Thinking of this, her mood immediately improved a lot.

into the night.

Bai Yuan was packing his luggage in the room alone when there was a knock on the door.

"Uncle Master, it's us!"

"come in!"

Yunxuan and Yuxuan pushed the door open and immediately saw the parcels and luggage that Bai Yuan had placed aside.

"I just happened to be planning to look for you guys, but you guys came here on your own."

Bai Yuan looked at the two of them with some surprise.

"Uncle Master, we heard from Shopkeeper Lin that you will be leaving tomorrow?"
