C28 Good Boy

Shua...

He flew over. The dart pierced the red heart on the wall.

Xiaoxiao was still standing at the door. She had just been blocked by Xuanyuan Lia's tall figure. It was not surprising that Maomao did not see her, but... why did her son get along so well with Xuanyuan Lia?!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." She deliberately coughed.

Xuanyuan Lia turned his eyes to the door, and only then did Maomao look at the person standing at the door. Mommy! A happy expression appeared on his face. He leaned forward and took a step forward. He wanted to rush into Maomao's arms. However, after a short second, the excitement disappeared from his face. He calmly took back his front leg. He didn't look at Mommy anymore.

Instead, he looked at Xuanyuan Lia. "Uncle, do you think I threw it accurately?" He looked at Xuanyuan Lia with a smile and completely ignored Xiaoxiao. Because he could not recognize his mommy. It would not be good if his uncle saw through his mommy's identity. He had to protect his mommy!

Xuanyuan Lia lowered his eyes and looked at Maomao. This kid was still so clever. He actually pretended not to know that woman. He was really a little kid who knew how to act.

"If you don't want to acknowledge your mother, then I'll take her away." He stared coldly at the little ghost in front of him.

Uh!

Maomao immediately realized the meaning in his uncle's words. He already knew the identity of Mommy? In order to make sure nothing went wrong, his big eyes looked at his mother doubtfully.

Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Mommy..." Maomao ran over and threw himself into Xiaoxiao's arms. His handsome face rubbed against Xiaoxiao's face. Then... Mommy, how's the wound on your shoulder?" he asked. Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xiaoxiao kissed her son back and whispered into his ear, "Maomao, why did you suddenly get better with Xuanyuan Lia?"

Maomao also leaned close to his mommy's ear. "Mommy, if I don't get along well with this uncle, what if he kills me?"

"Good boy, you are smart enough."

The mother and son whispered to each other. Xuanyuan Lia stood at the side. These two mother and son were really similar. Thinking about it, only this woman could teach such a little guy.

After the two of them went back to normal, Xiaoxiao carried Maomao and walked to Xuanyuan Lia. "Xuanyuan Lia, thank you for taking care of Maomao these few days." Although it was just a polite greeting, she was indeed grateful that Xuanyuan Lia treated Maomao well.

"You have seen the child. Now you can rest assured?"

She nodded. "However, I want to bring Maomao back to our home. I have a contract with you. I will not violate the contract. Normally, I will report to you. I will listen to your instructions."

After hearing this, before Xuanyuan Lia could reply, Maomao nervously jumped down from Xiaoxiao's body. "Mommy, what contract? Don't tell me you signed something strange?"

"Well, it's not anything strange. It's just that your mommy was forced to sell herself to this uncle in front of you for two years to do hard labor work." Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. She deliberately made small talk with Xuanyuan Lia.

Maomao lowered his head and moved to Xuanyuan Lia's feet. He pitifully pulled on the corner of Xuanyuan Lia's shirt. "Uncle, don't bully my mother. A man cannot bully a woman. If there is any tiring and dirty work, I will do it." As he spoke, he raised his small fist and patted his chest.

Only to see... The corner of Xuanyuan Lia's mouth twitched. This woman... This kid was simply a perfect match. Xuanyuan Lia bent his body and said, "Alright, then from now on, accompany your mother to my place every day and do manual labor."

"No problem." He raised his cheeks.

"Then let's go first." He brought Maomao out of the heaven like villa and left this fairyland like place.

After Xiaoxiao and Maomao left, Xuanyuan Lia looked at the living room. His fingers touched the furniture next to him and a faint smile appeared on his face. This smile was not cold at all.

Assassin Centre.

"Grandpa Ge." Maomao jumped in.

The pavilion master spat out another mouthful of milk.

With a puff, Maomao jumped into the arms of the pavilion master. "Grandpa Ge, Maomao misses you so much." As he spoke, he picked up a tissue and wiped the elder's mouth.

"Aiyo, my Maomao too. Let grandpa take a good look." He was worried that he would not be able to sleep well for a few days. He kept thinking about Maomao every day and night.

"Maomao, let's go play outside. I have something to discuss with the pavilion master."

Looking at his mommy, Maomao reluctantly left the pavilion elder's embrace and left with his ears covered in dust.

"Little Flying Dragon! I haven't seen Maomao for a few days. Why did you kick him out so quickly?" The pavilion elder also complained unwillingly.

Xiaoxiao sat down. "Pavilion master, I might have to stop accepting missions. Remove my name from the employment center temporarily."

"What? You, what happened to you? Not working? Why?"

" I think I found some clues about my family's destruction. " Her voice became somewhat hoarse. Apart from the little aunt, the only person who knew about her situation was Elder Ge.

"Do you know who did it?" Elder Ge also became nervous.

Xiaoxiao shook her head, "The person who harmed my family back then might have extended his devil claw to the Xuanyuan family, one of the five big families. Therefore, I want to follow the clues and stay by Xuanyuan Lia's side. I want to see if I can find the murderer."

The pavilion elder was a little surprised. He also did not expect that the leader of the Night Empire was actually one of the five great families." Xiaoxiao, you are not sure if those people who came to find Xuanyuan Lia are the people who harmed your family. It would not be good to take such a risk and stay by Xuanyuan Lia's side. In the underworld... Xuanyuan Lia is famous for his vicious methods! You don't have the support of your family anymore. Such a person... I'm afraid you can't afford to offend such a person. "

Xiaoxiao shook her head." I know, but it's too late. It has been eight years and I have no news. I have let down my dead family. I have to take a gamble. "

"Xiaoxiao, does Xuanyuan Lia know your identity?"

"Not yet, but he knows that I am a woman. He still suspects that I am the accomplice of those assassins. However, in order to stay by his side and investigate what happened back then, I signed a contract with him. "

" What!? Xiaoxiao, how can you be like this? If something happens to you, what will happen to Maomao?!" The pavilion elder couldn't hold it in anymore. Everyone knew how important a contract was in the underworld. Once the contract was broken, it would be beyond redemption.

"Pavilion elder, don't worry. If one day something really happens to me. I'll leave Maomao to you. Please help me find little aunt. Only little aunt knows who Maomao's biological father is."

" Sigh... " The pavilion elder sighed as well.

After signing the contract with Xuanyuan Lia, he applied for a few days of leave. When he returned home, he found that it was an ordinary house. In the past, she lived a wandering life. Ever since she gave birth to Maomao, she knew that she needed a home, even if it was just a very small nest.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Maomao ran to open the door. Just as he opened the door, his small face froze. "Uncle, Uncle, you, why are you here? Mom said that I don't need to work in your house today."
