He quickly put away the note, got up, and walked to the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Yan Xiaoxi's smiling face in front of him.

”Xi Er, come in.” Bei Bai brought Yan Xiaoxi into the room and delicately poured her a cup of tea.

Yan Xiaoxi sat down beside Bei Bai without hesitation and started to eat the pastries on the table.

”Brother Bei, this is the silver that I owe you.” Yan Xiaoxi mumbled indistinctly with the pastry in her mouth.

Bei Bai took the silver taels and gently wiped the remnants of food off Yan Xiaoxi's mouth with a handkerchief. He then ordered, ”Eat slowly.”

Yan Xiaoxi, who had swallowed the last piece of pastry, smiled sweetly and said, ”Brother Bei, you're really good.”

Hearing this, Bei Bai Xi was slightly stunned. For some reason, a warm feeling surged into his heart and flowed into his blood, making him feel even more relaxed and happy.

”What is this?” Yan Xiaoxi suddenly saw a yellow slip of paper lying on the ground. She bent down and picked it up.

When he saw the slip of paper, the smile on his face disappeared as he snatched it from Yan Xiaoxi's hand.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Bei Bai with a dumbstruck expression. Today was the first time she had seen him so nervous.

Was this note important to him?

”Brother Bei, what's written on this note?” When Yan Xiaoxi encountered a question, she would ask it without any shame. She would not hide it at all.

After hearing Yan Xiaoxi's question, Bei Bai felt much more at ease. This meant that she did not see the words on the note.

He returned to his usual mild-mannered state and said, ”A very important person gave it to me.”

So that's how it was. Yan Xiaoxi showed an expression of enlightenment, but her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She stood up, clasped her hands, and looked thoughtfully at Bei Bai Xi as she said, ”I've already returned the silver to Brother Bei. The Prince is still waiting in his room for me to eat.”

”Xi Er, if you want to eat, don't be hungry.” After seeing Yan Xiaoxi to the door, Bei Bai returned to his room.

Yan Xiaoxi frowned as she pouted, pushing the door open unhappily.

Nangong Lin looked over and saw Yan Xiaoxi's delicate face twisted together. He stood up from the stool and walked over to her. ”Woman, what's the matter?”

”Brother Bei actually lied to me. I'm so sad.” Yan Xiaoxi said dejectedly.

After hearing this, Nangong Lin hurriedly closed the door and brought Yan Xiaoxi to the table. He then pulled her to sit down.

After handing her a piece of pastry, he asked again, ”Why did he lie to you?”

”Woo woo!” Yan Xiaoxi sobbed as she ate.

”Woman, you might as well tell This King. This King can help you analyze the reason.” Nangong Lin was extremely interested in what Yan Xiaoxi had to say and had been trying to tempt her into doing so.

Yan Xiaoxi swallowed the pastry in her mouth and said, feeling wronged, ”I clearly saw what was written on the note, and it wasn't even a love letter. Brother Bei actually said that it was given to him by a very important person, and he was so nervous. He clearly didn't want me to see it. Liar, big liar.”

Yan Xiaoxi said indignantly. Because she was too angry, the small pink hammer continued to pound on Nangong Lin's chest.

Nangong Lin didn't mind, allowing Yan Xiaoxi to vent.

”What did the woman see?”

”A row of words.”

”What word?” Nangong Lin continued to ask.

”Mysterious treasure, dominating the entire world.” Yan Xiaoxi slowly enunciated the words she saw.

After hearing this, Nangong Lin's expression changed greatly. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Xiaoxi. He asked, ”Is it a slip of paper of this color?”
