Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 224: To Stay or to Leave

Xia Mian sighed softly. Her cheap dad and her love-obsessed mom now only have eyes for each other; she is just superfluous!

Although Xia Mian couldn’t sense Song Juan, she could sense Xia Zhun.

After all, the same blood flows through her as does through Xia Zhun.

The blood connection is still there.

Xia Mian calmed herself, gathered her divine sense, slightly closed her eyes, and began sensing Xia Zhun.

Xia Zhun’s aura was very concealed, looming in a corner of the Divine Manor.

Following Xia Zhun’s aura, Xia Mian headed towards that corner.

Probably aware of being sensed, Xia Zhun slightly paused during his walk with Song Juan and glanced towards the direction of the meeting hall.

"Mianmian has found her way here." Xia Zhun squinted his dark eyes slightly, then turned back indifferently, gazing deeply at Song Juan. "Juan’er, thank you for not blaming me."

Song Juan smiled gently, her smile as soft as the wind. "You didn’t do anything wrong. If blame is to be assigned, it would be fate’s doing."

The current Song Juan had somewhat aged, but Xia Zhun did not despise her at all.

It shows that Xia Zhun’s affection wasn’t just because of her looks.

Xia Zhun fell in love with her as a person, not just her face, which made Song Juan’s sense of security more abundant.

"Juan’er, this time, I’ll go with you." Xia Zhun gazed intently at Song Juan. "You don’t mind me going to where you are, not being able to do anything, and needing you to take care of me, do you?"

Song Juan stared at Xia Zhun’s enviable face and laughed, "Being able to take care of a pretty boy like you is indeed my skill!"

The Song Family was wealthy and powerful; previously, Xia Jianguo’s family lived primarily off the Song Group. Xia Zhun was much easier to care for than Xia Jianguo.

Moreover... how could Xia Zhun possibly be a man who needs a woman to take care of him?

"Juan’er, you are truly wonderful!" Xia Zhun lovingly embraced Song Juan. The woman he chose remained kind-hearted as she always was.

Nestling in Xia Zhun’s embrace, Song Juan once again found a sense of happiness.

Xia Mian found her way there at this moment.

Seeing the two snuggled together, Xia Mian raised her hand to cover her eyes and turned her head swiftly, "I didn’t see anything!"

Song Juan then noticed Xia Mian had come over, and she broke free from Xia Zhun’s embrace, "Mianmian, are you looking for me?"

Xia Mian replied with a nod, "Mom, Ding Cheng is leaving, if we want to go, we can leave with her now."

Hearing Xia Mian’s words, Song Juan was slightly stunned and looked up at Xia Zhun.

"Wherever you go, I go." Xia Zhun smiled slightly at Song Juan, as if he understood what Song Juan was thinking.

"But, aren’t you still searching for your mother..." Song Juan lightly bit her lip, feeling it was somewhat selfish to have Xia Zhun leave with her.

Xia Zhun squinted slightly, gazing into the distance, his voice was indifferent, "I’ll stop searching."

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that his mother might not have been around for a long time.

For so many years, he had not felt his mother’s presence. When he was young and lacked ability, he couldn’t reverse time, defying fate, no matter how hard he tried.

After his mother disappeared, he diligently cultivated, advancing rapidly, becoming the most brilliant presence in the Divine Clan. If he wished, he could alter anyone’s fate.

However, his mother would never return.

Seeing the forlorn expression on Xia Zhun’s face, Song Juan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache. This man appeared strong, but who knew the unknown bitterness behind that strength?

"Xia Zhun." Song Juan looked up at him, her gaze resolute, "For the rest of my life, I’ll treat you well."

She would compensate for the plight of this man’s first half of life with her second half.

Xia Zhun lowered his head, looking into Song Juan’s earnest eyes, and laughed, "Then I’ll rely on my dear wife from now on!"

Xia Mian turned away speechlessly; Song Juan and Xia Zhun were not young, could they not consider her, this pure little sprout, when being affectionate?

"Then let’s leave with Miss Ding!" Song Juan was no longer tangled with the issue of Xia Zhun staying or leaving.

Xia Mian nodded, "Let’s go now!"

As Xia Mian spoke, she led the way ahead.

Xia Zhun and Song Juan walked side by side behind her, whispering occasionally, and Song Juan’s happy laughter periodically reached Xia Mian’s ears.

Song Juan had found true love; she ought to be happy for her. But watching her love-obsessed mom, Xia Mian was somewhat concerned.

The future path for these two won’t be easy...

Ding Cheng and Lu Zechuan didn’t wait long before Xia Mian returned with Song Juan and Xia Zhun.

Ding Cheng’s injuries from last night were severe; even after treatment with Xia Weizhang’s forbidden technique, she still looked unwell.

Seeing Song Juan and others coming over, she smiled faintly, "Has everyone decided to leave?"

Song Juan glanced at Xia Zhun, only to see him nod slightly to her.

Thus, Song Juan lightly nodded to Ding Cheng, "Well then, let’s go!"

Just as Song Juan’s words fell, a furious shout suddenly came from the nearby corridor, "Going where?!"

Xia Liang stormed towards them from the distant corridor, with the gentle breeze lifting his white beard, making him look rather comical.

"This is your home; where are you going?" Xia Liang was furious.

Xia Zhun had previously been unconscious, indifferent to the affairs of the Divine Clan, let that be—but now that he’s finally awake, does he say avoid responsibility altogether?

Xia Zhun discreetly shielded Song Juan behind him, then looked intensely at Xia Liang, "Where Juan’er is, I’ll be."

Xia Liang gritted his teeth in anger, "Am I giving you leeway?"

Pausing, Xia Liang continued, "Don’t forget, your problem of falling into deep sleep hasn’t been cured yet!"

He glared at Xia Zhun, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done to stay awake!"

"You can only stay in the Divine Clan to ensure that during your periods of sleep your body can absorb enough spiritual energy, preserving your flesh and maintaining normal functions. Have you considered what will happen if you leave the Divine Clan?" Xia Liang was truly infuriated by his romantic son.

Even if he had wronged Xia Zhun in the past, Xia Zhun was his only lineage. Xia Zhun was joking with his life, wasn’t this stabbing his eyes?

As Xia Liang’s words came out, Song Juan’s expression changed involuntarily, she turned back in surprise looking at Xia Zhun.

How could she forget, when she came looking for Xia Zhun, he was unconscious!

It was only after she voiced her reproach at Xia Zhun’s bedside that Xia Zhun woke up.

Therefore, Xia Zhun wasn’t completely cured, instead he was a ticking time bomb, capable of falling back into unconsciousness at any time.

Moreover, if Xia Zhun fell asleep outside, it would be harmful to his body?!

"Why didn’t you tell me?" Song Juan furrowed her brows, her gaze complex as she looked at Xia Zhun.
