Chapter 1428: Chapter 1250: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Having said that, she only looked at Long Aixi, hoping he would help her in to sit down.

But Long Aixi’s mind was clearly on the woman in black, and he began to ponder quietly, "A scent of osmanthus? Not a tactic of the Dragon Teeth Gang?"

He knew that Xia Dabao always smelled of osmanthus because she used the fragrant powders and the like made by Aunt Nan Feng, who favored osmanthus.

Not using a Dragon Teeth Gang technique? And able to move around the courtyard with ease? Could it be Xia Dabao?

The security in the back yard was very strict; people from other gangs could only get in if their martial arts were really good.

But why would Xia Dabao target Zhou Xianzhi?

Could it be that Dabao’s anger in the past couple of days had something to do with Zhou Xianzhi?

And thinking back to last night, when Xia Dabao entered the room, it seemed she had something to say, but as soon as she saw Zhou Xianzhi inside, she turned and left.

Could it be... she was jealous?

"Aixi, should I report this matter to the gang leader so he can investigate who has infiltrated our headquarters? Otherwise, if I was attacked tonight, who knows who will be tomorrow night," Zhou Xianzhi still looked pained, clinging to a nearby column, seemingly unsteady on her feet.

Long Aixi, however, said, "No need, my parents have been very busy lately. I’ll look into this matter myself. Don’t worry, if some ill-intentioned people have sneaked into the Dragon Teeth Gang, I’ll certainly see that justice is done for you."

He thought, if it was Xia Dabao, then he must cover this up for her.

Hearing this, Zhou Xianzhi felt that Long Aixi was standing up for her and finally smiled with satisfaction, then passed the book in her hand to Long Aixi, "I’ve finished this book, Aixi, may I borrow a couple more from you?"

Long Aixi looked at the book in Zhou Xianzhi’s hand, took it, and then shook his head, "I’m still busy with things, why don’t you go borrow from Butler Yan? He has quite a lot of books too."

After speaking, he tossed the book into the room and headed towards Xia Dabao’s room.

He was eager to find Xia Dabao and ask for clarification, but Xia Dabao didn’t open the door. Long Aixi asked Lanlan, "Did Miss Dabao go out just now?"

Lanlan, following Xia Dabao’s instructions to tell anyone who asked that she hadn’t gone out, shook her head.

Long Aixi observed again with doubt for a while, and then he noticed some mud prints on the door threshold.

These mud prints?

Weren’t they from the flower bed area?

Long Aixi then smiled again.

...

The next day.

Due to the event of building the gang, everyone had to go out to eat.

First, to help the Long couple greet guests, and second, to enjoy the lively atmosphere.

Xia Dabao was no exception; Lanlan had called her out early.

Having fought the night before, she felt quite hungry this morning and changed into a new outfit to go out for food.

The front hall was already crowded with people, including various Hall Masters and butlers from the Dragon Teeth Gang, some subsidiary gang leaders, and more visitors from different schools and sects. As soon as Xia Dabao arrived, Lu Jianxi called her over.

Lu Jianxi apologized to Xia Dabao with a bit of remorse, "Dabao, you see, Aunt Jianxi has been quite busy lately, and hasn’t had the time to accompany you. After the event of establishing the gang, Aunt Jianxi will definitely spend some good time with you."

"It’s alright, Aunt Jianxi, you do your thing, I can manage quite well here. When there’s nothing else, I can still go to Butler Yan to practice my martial arts," Xia Dabao said.

However, Lu Jianxi patted Xia Dabao’s head, feeling that she was very considerate. At that moment, Long Aixi also came in, and as soon as he arrived, Lu Jianxi called him over, "Xiao’ai, come here for a moment."
