The mountain lion cast a disdainful look! Just a stone!

The shaking of the stone became more and more intense. Chi Chi's voice was not loud, but it was rapid and violent. Fang Buddha felt a dangerous aura!

This time, the mountain lion was attracted.

It turned to the stone and touched the shaking stone with its claws... The stone looked like an egg!

Egg?

Such a big egg is a delicious meal!

The mountain lion sniffed excitedly with its pointed nose, trying to tell what kind of egg it was by its breath. Its sense of smell is extremely sensitive!

Sudden!

The mountain lion smelled a strange breath, and then, endless fear began to spread from the beast's eyes...

"Ow!"

As if being greatly frightened, the mountain lion screamed a few times and fled in a frenzy!

In an instant, the mountain lion that ran over the wall completely disappeared into the darkness...

The mountain lion left, and the egg was quiet again.

Lying on the ground, quietly, motionless, looking in the dark, it looks like an ordinary stone...

No one saw what happened in the middle of the night. It's just that people nearby were very curious. I don't know when the mountain lions in this vicinity became extinct. Some people say that the mountain lions migrated into the deep mountains collectively, and some people say that a mysterious master killed all the mountain lions that hurt people in the vicinity... In short, for a long, long time, no one saw the mountain lions haunting nearby. None!

However, a pair of eyes in the crack of the door caught this scene.

This person is Xuan Zhongwu!

Xuanyue's rare calm these days was finally broken. When her father appeared at her door, she was slightly surprised. For the first time these days, she saw her father at home during the day. What day is today? From her father's solemn expression, she guessed that something important must have happened.

"Yue, come to my study in half an hour." Xuan Zhongwu said.

"If you have anything you want to tell me, just say it here." Xuanyue said.

"Oh?"

Xuan Zhongwu was slightly stunned. How could this daughter be so flexible? It has been more than half a month since Xuanyue went home, and Xuan Zhongwu and Xuanyue said no more than ten sentences. Coupled with Xuanyue's deliberate concealment and isolation of herself, it is obvious that Xuan Zhongwu did not notice that her daughter had fundamentally changed from the past.

"Okay." Xuan Zhongwu took the door and said, "I want to talk to you about eggs."

"Egg?" Xuanyue thought to herself, "Is there an egg to eat today?"

She hasn't eaten eggs since the first day she came home. The days of Xuan's family are really not ordinary poverty.

"Your magic pet egg!" Xuan Zhongwu said straight to the point.

"What egg?" Xuanyue almost forgot about her demon pet egg.

"Magic pet egg. The egg you put in the yard for Little Treasure to practice!"

"That's a rock!"

"Are you sure it's really a stone?" Xuan Zhongwu's eyes flashed with suspicion.

"What's the difference between a pet egg that can't hatch and a stone?" Xuanyue said.

"Is it really impossible to hatch? Could it be that you don't have enough fighting spirit? To hatch a pet egg, you need to moisten it with fighting temperature!" Xuan Zhongwu, the second young master of the Xuan family, naturally knows the hatching procedure of a pet egg!

"A mid-level appraiser said so, it shouldn't be wrong!" Xuanyue seemed very calm.

"What? You mean... an intermediate appraiser?" Xuan Zhongwu couldn't believe his ears and asked back.

"Yeah!" Xuan Yue's dark eyes did not waver.

"Have you found an intermediate appraiser to appraise the egg of a demon pet?" Xuan Zhongwu couldn't help confirming again.

"Um."

"How did you find it? A mid-level appraiser doesn't just randomly identify a pet egg! Even a low-level appraiser needs to charge an expensive fee to identify a pet egg!" Xuan Zhongwu was extremely surprised. It shows that he highly respects the intermediate appraisers. Only then did Xuanyue know that it was no wonder that the middle-level appraiser of the restaurant was always so arrogant that day!

"The process is a bit complicated. But the identification turned out to be a dead egg."

"The conclusion of the intermediate appraiser is definitely not wrong." Xuan Zhongwu's face was full of disappointment, and then he remembered the scene he saw last night, and his eyes glowed with some brilliance, "But there are exceptions to everything! Since this magic pet egg is yours, it can be considered a fate with you. You have nothing to do with it, and think about how to hatch it."

"If you have a powerful World of Warcraft pet, Dad won't have to worry about you."

When it was over, Xuan Zhongwu added a sentence of his original intention. This was the conclusion he thought of tossing and turning all night after seeing the egg scaring the mountain lion away last night! A ferocious mountain lion can frighten away with just one egg, and the magic pet hatched in the future must be a very powerful battle pet. At least a lot more powerful than a mountain lion. Even if there was a mountain lion as Xuanyue's pet, ordinary people wouldn't dare to bully her!

"Aren't you going to the General's Mansion today?" Xuan Yue started the topic. She has never been used to facing the feelings of the Xuan family towards her.

"Um."

As soon as he mentioned the General's Mansion, Xuan Zhongwu's beard furrowed slightly, and he looked worried.

"Did something happen?" His expression naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Xuanyue, who was watching me carefully!

"nothing."

"Dad, tell me. Maybe I can help you!"

"You can't help me. Dad is very happy if you have this heart. You went to the college for two years and suffered a lot, but you also grew up and became sensible. Dad is very happy. You don't need to worry about the matter." Xuan Zhongwu only realized after a deep discussion that his daughter had undergone earth-shaking changes from two years ago.

"Is it something at work... encountering difficulties?" Xuanyue asked guessingly.

"How do you know?" Xuan Zhongwu asked in surprise.

"Father has always been very busy at work. He leaves early and returns late every day. Today, he stayed at home and didn't go to the General's Mansion. Obviously, he encountered a problem at work."

"You are so smart. It seems that my father's daughter has really grown up. You are so smart and meticulous, and you are not afraid that you will be bullied in the future." Xuan Zhongwu's brows stretched out. happy.

"Since Daddy says I'm smart, let me help you." Xuanyue called out "Dad", feeling very awkward. The middle-aged man in front of him, who cares about his family and is deep, lives under the same roof as her, but he is no different from a stranger. But this man was deeply concerned about her. He didn't have any gorgeous language, didn't have much communication, and even showed little courtesy. But from the bottom of his heart, he cared about and nervous about her.

"There is a problem with the accounts of the General's Mansion."

Xuan Zhongwu finally told the truth. It turned out that he has been in charge of the general's account for all these years, and all financial receipts and expenditures must pass through his hands.

Originally, the Xuan family had huge industries all over the place, with considerable profits. The expenditure allocated to the General's Mansion is also very generous. Xuan Zhongwu's position in the General's Mansion was lowly, and he was a humble man. Although he was in charge of all financial expenses, he was actually just a puppet. Those playful disciples in the General's Mansion were extravagant, and when they ran out of money, they went directly to the accountant for advance payments and loans. Once the money is lent, it becomes difficult to return it. The general's family has a great business, and no one cared about it in the first few years. But over time, over the years, the money advanced and borrowed has become a huge dead account.

In recent years, the general's business in various places has slumped, and profits have fallen. The expenses that can be dispatched by the General's House have also been reduced. As a result, the General's House had serious financial problems. Xuan Zhongwu kept it a secret for a long time, but the old man found out recently. The old man severely criticized him, and was even more disappointed with this useless son.
