Chapter 1160: 1160: The Trio (Happy National Day, everyone!)

While Luo Yirui and the others were discussing matters here, Hou Baiyu and Fu Xuan Ge were talking about him under a distant tree."Brother Baiyu, why are you paying attention to this guy?" Fu Xuan Ge asked in confusion.

Leaning against the tree with a blade of grass in his mouth, Hou Baiyu glanced at Luo Yirui standing on the other side and said, "I just feel he’s not ordinary."

"Where is he not ordinary? Is his spiritual power more abundant than the usual modern family members?" Fu Xuan Ge dismissed.

Hou Baiyu was silent for a moment, spat out the grass, and said softly, "Don’t be influenced by habitual thinking; everyone sees just one facet, not the whole picture."

Fu Xuan Ge was stunned for a long time, scratched his head, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Hou Baiyu didn’t explain further, only said, "You’ll know in the future." He paused and lowered his eyelids, "If my guess is correct."

Fu Xuan Ge watched Hou Baiyu’s departing figure in bewilderment, turned his head to glance at Luo Yirui from afar. Just then, Luo Yirui turned his head, their eyes met, and Fu Xuan Ge unconsciously nodded before turning away.

By the lake, Little Fatty’s eyes widened, "Wow, that sky-eyed Fu Xuan Ge actually greeted you!" He looked at Luo Yirui in shock, seeking an explanation.

Luo Yirui glanced at Little Fatty, thinking, even with a shocked face, what’s this honored bit about?

Someone helping boost one’s status also depends on who they are. In Luo Yirui’s eyes, these two speaking to him didn’t raise his value, perhaps to Little Fatty, these two were already high up.

Jing Yuansi, although surprised, laughed at Little Fatty’s words, "People say his eyes are on top of his head, and it’s changed to the sky with you."

Little Fatty waved his chubby hand, "No, no, no, the top of the head can’t satisfy Fu Xuan Ge anymore. Look, for all this time, besides Hou Baiyu, who else has he talked to?"

Jing Yuansi knew he was right; Luo Yirui didn’t understand the situation among the current generation of Ancient Family members, but they knew it well—Fu Xuan Ge was a genius, Hou Baiyu and Nie Kaihuan were the stars!

However, there was some suspicion in everyone’s mind about Nie Kaihuan.

As for Nie Kaihuan, if it weren’t for the Nie Family, they wouldn’t have been held captive here as hostages. Now who knows what’s happening outside, they too are precarious.

Luckily, the Ancient Families don’t dare to go too far, fearing public outrage. As long as they don’t snatch resources, the Nie Family won’t bother them, but the modern families are another matter.

Some modern families have histories spanning over two hundred years, deeply rooted clan sects. If not uprooted, the Nie Family can’t gain control. With the Nie Family’s nature, they won’t risk backlash to act benevolent.

After all, the world lacks nothing; the most abundant are people.

People from Ancient Families, adults or children, aren’t anxious; while those from modern families worry with no solution—like people from two worlds, unable to integrate.

"I need to go out tonight," Luo Yirui whispered.

Little Fatty seemed unsurprised, "Alright, about time. I’ll come find you."

The two were about to finalize their plan when a weak voice came from the side, "I want to go too..."

Both turned to look at Jing Yuansi, who had hesitation on her face.
