Why Don't You Let Me Burn It?

In the living room, Xia Mingjiang had a struggle in his eyes, and he seemed to be unable to bear it in his heart.

"Dad, go to your study, I have something to tell you."

Xia Xi came over and said.

Xia Mingjiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded numbly.

"good"

Xia Yu saw it and immediately stood up.

But Xia Xi turned around and said, "Aunt, let's talk alone..."

Seeing this, Xia Yu nodded: "Xiao Xi, the Xia family is sorry for you, don't blame your father..."

"..."

The two walked upstairs, and Xia Yu was the only one left in the living room.

The study was on the third floor. Xia Mingjiang and Xia Xi walked up, only to find that someone was already waiting at the door.

"Classmate Lin Mi, you..."

"Uncle Xia, if you don't mind if I chat with you too..." Lin Mi said with a chuckle.

Xia Mingjiang thought for a while and looked at Xia Xi.

After all, she was the one who brought him here. The two of them are classmates and teammates, and the Xia family also intends to win over Lin Mi, so he can't refuse.

Seeing Xia Xi nodding, Xia Mingjiang did not refuse.

"come in…"

As soon as you enter the study room, you can smell the strong fragrance of paper, ink and books. Several cabinets of books are placed in the cabinets behind the desk.

The study room is not big, but it is very delicately maintained.

"Xiao Xi, if you have anything to say, just say it..."

Xia Xi did not speak directly when he heard this, but glanced at Lin Mi.

"Uncle Xia, can I take a look at it?"

Xia Mingjiang frowned, wondering why Lin Mi was so familiar with him, but Xiao Xi didn't have any objections. He was in a state of confusion now, and it was hard to say anything.

"It's up to you"

Fortunately, there is nothing shameful about him.

"Dad, why did those people unite to deal with our family?"

"Speaking of which, I don't know..."

Xia Xi and Xia Mingjiang were chatting casually, while Lin Mi was quietly walking back and forth in the study.

From Xia Mingjiang's invisible perspective, Lin Mi searched every inch of the place.

Nothing was found.

Until he looked towards the window sill.

Through the window sill, you can see the spacious backyard below, but Lin Mi's focus is not there, but a pot of light purple flowers placed on the window sill.

"Uncle Xia, what kind of flower is this? It's very beautiful."

"Well, Lao Wang said it was... Malanhua, it's really good."

With a raised corner of his mouth, Lin Mi stretched out his hand to twist the flowers and leaves: "Really? But these flowers haven't been watered for a few days, and they are all wilted."

As he spoke, he took the flowerpot off the windowsill.

Xia Mingjiang took a look and found that the flower was really wilting as if it had been exposed to the sun for three days and three nights.

"Old Wang, I'm sure he's lazy again, let's leave it there first."

"Uncle Xia should ask someone to replace the soil and water it, otherwise the flower will die easily."

“…that’s fine”

Xia Mingjiang rang the bell, and the housekeeper Wang Tengteng ran up, took the flowerpot sheepishly, turned around and left.

After closing the door, Lin Mi sat directly in front of Xia Mingjiang and said calmly: "Uncle Xia, you don't actually want to compromise, do you?"

When Xia Mingjiang heard this, the struggle in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Yes...but I...can't help it"

Xia Xi looked at Lin Mi, what did he find?

"The one just now was not a malanula, but an iris..."

"iris?"

"The malan flower is very similar to the iris, except that the malan flower is an antidote, while the iris is full of poison..."

Xia Mingjiang was shocked when he heard this. He actually placed a basin of poison in the study. It was really embarrassing.

"Thank you, classmate Lin Mi, for correcting me. Otherwise, my Xia family would be laughed at if the guests saw it."

"Uncle Xia, does he feel that because of his cultivation, a little poisonous flower can't do anything to you?"

"Well…"

"Then why are you like this?"

Xia Mingjiang fell into deep thought. At this moment, he seemed to notice something was wrong and did not immediately refute.

But soon, there was a struggle in his eyes again, as if two wills were entangled.

Just as he was thinking, a crescent moon suddenly appeared behind Xia Xi, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon activated.

Xia Mingjiang was defenseless. Even though he was not weak, he still fell into the illusion and was frozen in place.

Even if it's only for a moment, it's enough.

The long scarlet knife suddenly appeared, and Lin Mi rolled and jumped into the desk, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Xia Mingjiang's neck.

Stab...

Zhuoyou, who had been blessed by Nanming Lihuo, tore open Xia Mingjiang's flesh.

At this time, Xia Mingjiang also broke free from the illusion.

He turned around to catch Lin Mi, but Lin Mi had already jumped away and looked at Xia Mingjiang silently.

"What's wrong with me?"

Covering his head, he collapsed and fell to the ground. The wound on his neck healed quickly.

"We guessed it right, your father was indeed tampered with."

Xia Xi ignored her somewhat overdrawn mental energy and looked up, only to see Lin Mi holding a thorny ball-shaped object covered in blood in his hand.

About the size of a soybean, those thorns were still squirming, trying to pierce into Lin Mi's flesh and blood.

"What's this?"

"a seed of a certain plant"

Xia Xi helped Xia Mingjiang up and was shocked when she heard this.

After Xia Mingjiang was helped up, his eyes changed, and he was no longer hesitant and indecisive.

His eyes were full of determination and confusion.

"Ahem, Xiaoxi, what on earth is going on? Why do I feel like... it's like a dream?"

Recalling what he said and did before, Xia Mingjiang wanted to slap himself.

How could I slander Xia Xi's mother? How could he use his daughter as a commodity?

That's not the real him!

"Obviously, someone used some unknown means to place this seed in your body, causing it to mess up your mind and even change your personality."

"Coupled with the influence of that iris, it's enough to make you, Uncle Xia, controlled by them without even realizing it."

"I guess that iris flower also has a surveillance function."

Xia Mingjiang took a deep breath: "Is that so..."

He sighed softly. He didn't expect that he would be plotted against at home. It was really...

"Classmate Lin Mi, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be controlled by this thing."

"Uncle Xia, just wake up."

"yes…"

Xia Mingjiang rubbed Xia Xi's head, "Xiao Xi, you have suffered a lot in the past few years..."

Xia Xi shook her head.

"It's not hard..."

As long as my father remains the same.

"Uncle Xia, this time we came to the Magic City, we actually came with a mission..."

Lin Mi briefly told Xia Mingjiang what he wanted to do this time. He didn't go into too much detail, but told him generally.

Now that he has recovered, he can be used as his own support.

"I didn't expect that the Magic City has become riddled with holes. Even the boys of the Wang family..."

"Classmate Lin Mi, what do you want to do?"

"Uncle Xia, just pretend that nothing happened. After the pot of flowers is returned later, you will pretend to be still awake."

Xia Mingjiang thought about it and said, "Are you going to bring together people from several major families under the pretext of marriage?"

"Yes, in this way we can most efficiently understand which ones are star demons and which ones are humans..."

"Xiao Xi, what's your opinion?"

"I have no problem!" Xia Xi's face was firm. These guys dared to do this to the Xia family and her father, and she would never let them go.

"Then what should I do with this thing? If it dies, I'm afraid it will be discovered..."

Xia Mingjiang pointed to the thorn ball seeds on Lin Mi's hand.

“This is easy to handle”

Lin Mi took out a small piece of unknown metal from the stone ring. His palm quickly heated up and the metal soon softened.

Lin Mi kneaded it into a small hollow ball. After cooling, he stuffed the thorn ball seeds into it.

"This metal does not block nutrient transfer, but it limits its growth and impact."

"I just want to offend Uncle Xia by raising it for a while longer."

Xia Mingjiang laughed, "What's the problem?"

After saying that, he pointed a finger, made another cut on the back of his neck, and stuffed the metal ball into it.

At this time, the doorbell rang.
