Why Don't You Let Me Burn It?
Chapter 146 Testing
He was looking around, looking enthusiastically, when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Classmate Lin Mi, right? Hahaha, I've heard of you. Xia Xi can achieve such good results thanks to the help of classmate Lin Mi!"
Lin Mi smiled faintly when he heard this: "Master Xia's words are serious. Since we are classmates, we should help each other."
"Hey, what's your name, Master? If you don't mind, just call me uncle. Lao Wang, hurry up and arrange lunch. Classmate Lin Mi, since you're here, let's have a meal. If you want to play for a few more days, I'll stay with you tonight. It’s ready here!”
"Okay, sir!"
The butler ran away in a flash.
Lin Mi followed his words and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xia."
Looking up, Xia Xi was a little confused. When did his father... become so enthusiastic?
With a hint of uneasiness in her heart, she looked in Lin Mi's direction.
Lin Mi pushed up his glasses and shook his head.
"Huh..." She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her father was not a star demon.
Father and daughter always have something to say when they meet again after a long absence. Several people sat down one after another in the living room, and soon someone brought tea and cakes.
Lin Mi is an outsider, but he is very familiar with it. He starts eating as soon as he sits down. Anyway, if you don't eat, you will get nothing.
While father and daughter were reminiscing about old times, Xia Xi's aunt, Xia Yu, quietly walked next to Lin Mi and sat down.
"Classmate Lin Mi, thank you for taking care of Xia Xi."
"You're welcome," Lin Mi replied with a shaqima in one mouthful and wiped his mouth.
Xia Yu was also a little surprised at Lin Mi's behavior, as if he was at his own home.
Thinking of what she had just talked about with Xia Mingjiang, she felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that... you are not here as a guest, but as the master?
"Classmate Lin Mi, why did you come to Magic City with Xiao Xi?"
she probed.
"I've been practicing too hard recently, and the teacher said we should balance work with rest. Xia Xi happened to be going home, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look around the Magic City."
"I see…"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Yu also began to greet Lin Mi warmly.
Because Lin Mi had not joined any family so far, Xia Yu also started to think about it, and made several sideways inquiries about Lin Mi's possibility of joining the Magic City family.
What surprised her was that Lin Mi did not refuse righteously, but his words revealed the stinginess of those families.
It suddenly dawned on me that those families were not willing to give up money and resources. This was actually easy to handle.
However, Lin Mi had just arrived and was not in a hurry.
Not long after, lunch was ready and a large table was set up. Some of Xia Xi's other relatives in the Xia family manor also came to hear the news.
He greeted Xia Xi with greetings.
Lin Mi wore glasses and kept scanning the people seated, and from time to time he dealt with the relatives of the Xia family who came to talk.
At the dinner table, Xia Mingjiang cleared his throat, and the table suddenly became quiet.
He whispered: "Xiao Xi, have you... found a boyfriend?"
"No"
"That's it." A touch of joy appeared on Xia Mingjiang's face, and then he explained the Xia family's current predicament one by one.
"This is the current situation, Xiaoxi...you..."
Before Xia Mingjiang finished speaking, Xia Xi stood up angrily and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"So, selling girls is your only option?"
"I…"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from outside the door.
"Xiao Xi, it's been a long time since I last saw you, and you still have this temper. Why don't you just go along with it, Uncle Xia?"
"who?"
The door opened, and a man with long hair and a polite manner walked in.
"Wang Tianxiang from the Wang family? Why is he here?"
Xia Mingjiang frowned. Are these people a little too impatient?
"Uncle Xia, you haven't replied to my greetings, so I have no choice but to come on behalf of the Wang family." Wang Tianxiang kept smiling on his face.
With a wave of his hand, the person behind him came up with two boxes of jewelry.
"I'll take these lunches as an apology for disturbing everyone's enjoyment. Xiaoxi, why didn't you notify me when you came back? I could pick you up..."
"Everyone is here today, so I won't talk nonsense. Xiaoxi, it's time for us to talk about marriage. You know who I am, Wang Tianxiang. If you and I are together, we will definitely envy others."
Xia Xi almost laughed inwardly at this moment. I don't know who you are, but I just met you a few times.
However, she did not speak, but turned her head and glanced at Lin Mi.
Seeing Lin Mi nodding, Xia Xi's heart jolted, here comes the parasitic demon.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with the family in Magic City.
Seeing Xia Xi looking at Lin Mi, Wang Tianxiang also looked over.
"Hey, isn't this Lin Mi? Why are you here too? Are you here to propose marriage too?" He grinned and his tone was a little unkind.
Lin Mi spread his hands and said with a smile: "I won't suddenly break into other people's homes and bark, I'm just here to have a meal."
Wang Tianxiang's face suddenly darkened: "I don't know how capable you are, how dare you talk to me like this..."
"If you have the guts, come and fight me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually burst out the spiritual pressure of the four realms, causing the ornamental vase on the side to burst open and shatter into pieces.
Then he raised his hand, extended his thumb, and slowly pointed it downward.
At such an age, he has such a realm, and he is also a talented person.
It’s just a pity…
Xia Mingjiang looked unhappy. Does this boy from the Wang family have no brains? Bite if you catch someone?
Didn't you see that this was a guest of their Xia family?
Before he could speak, Lin Mi had already stood up, grinned, stirred up a gust of wind under his feet, and flashed in front of Wang Tianxiang in an instant.
Wang Tianxiang's eyes widened instantly. Before the psychic energy was released, Lin Mi had already punched his head directly into the floor.
Wang Tianxiang fainted immediately. Lin Mi stopped his hand, took a glance, and turned back to his seat.
Don't you just want to see if his genius is worth their while? Then take a good look.
This Wang Tianxiang is not as good as Wu Hun, he is also a cannon fodder.
It's just that these people got the news not long after he arrived. It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic.
"Why are you standing there, why don't you take your young master away? There are still these two boxes of garbage!"
Xia Mingjiang shouted coldly, and Wang Tianxiang's men suddenly woke up from a dream. They quickly pulled Wang Tianxiang up, carried the box and disappeared in a flash.
"Classmate Lin Mi, are you okay? I'm so sorry that something like this happened..."
"It's okay, Uncle Xia"
Lin Mi waved his hand and didn't pay much attention.
There were still many people at the dinner table who had not yet come to their senses, and they couldn't help but look at Lin Mi at this moment.
This guy is too decisive...
Fortunately, it was him who took action and had nothing to do with the Xia family...
The banquet ended smoothly, except for some minor hiccups.
But Xia Xi didn't want to pay attention to her father. Xia Mingjiang wanted to speak several times but was interrupted by Xia Xi.
Then she left the living room and went to the backyard.
"Oh, I owe it to Xiao Xi..."
Xia Mingjiang sat down and sighed, while Xia Yu comforted him softly: "Don't say that, brother, there's nothing you can do about it."
"well…"
Lin Mi rolled his eyes, picked up a box of preserved fruits on the table and stood up, saying, "Uncle Xia, I'm going to see Xia Xi."
"Sorry to trouble you, classmate Lin Mi..."
"should"
After walking to the backyard in a few steps, Lin Mi closed the door smoothly.
Following the cobblestone path, he came to a pavilion.
Xia Xi was leaning on the stone chair in the pavilion, looking at the goldfish pond in a daze.
"Are you okay?" Lin Mi asked softly, handing over a piece of dried strawberry.
Xia Xi shook her head: "It's okay."
"Lin Mi, is my dad really not a star demon?"
She turned to look at Lin Mi with extremely complicated eyes.
Lin Mi had no choice but to repeat his previous conclusion: "There is indeed no parasitic demon in his body, he is a pure human being..."
"Then why did he become like this..."
she murmured.
Lin Mi walked to sit opposite her. Feeling that there was a story in it, he asked directly.
"By the way. Why didn't you see your mother?"
"My mother... has passed away..."
"sorry…"
"It's okay, I just can't figure out how dad became like this."
In the past, Xia Mingjiang loved her mother deeply and never allowed them to suffer any injustice.
Later, Xia Xi's mother passed away. The first few years were fine, but later, Xia Mingjiang seemed to have changed a little.
Until a few months ago, he cursed Xia Xi's deceased mother for some unknown reason, which she couldn't accept.
Today, the man who once threatened that his daughter would not be wronged even if he spent all his family wealth, actually sells his daughter to protect the family business...
After hearing this, Lin Mi's face looked a little strange. He had changed so much. No matter how you looked at it, he looked like he was being parasitized.
"Unless your father's personality really changes, there might be something fishy..."
Xia Xi raised her head suddenly: "You mean?"
"Where does he usually stay?"
"study"
"Call your father and let's go to his study. Remember, let him come here alone."
"good!"
Xia Xi walked back with Lin Mi without saying a word. She also wanted to know whether her father had changed or if there was another reason.
