Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Selling Information(2)_1

"Ah, I already said I wasn’t injured, I was just exhausted at the time. Why does everyone keep saying I’m hurt?" Situ Xin said with a hint of helplessness. Was she that fragile, so easily injured?

"Right, Muli, since you’re here. There’s something I think you could take a look at too." Situ Xin would automatically drop the ’Brother’ part whenever there were no adults around.

"What is it?" Xiao Muli asked as he took the documents Situ Xin handed to him, looking puzzled.

"You’ll know when you see it." Situ Xin gestured for Xiao Muli to flip through it himself.

"This..." As Xiao Muli started to scan through the pages, he looked up at Situ Xin in astonishment. He hadn’t expected it to be information about the Xiao Family, about Xiao Yongxin, about Xiao Yongxin targeting her.

"Take your time reading it, and tell me afterward what you plan to do," Situ Xin suggested as she encouraged Xiao Muli to continue reading.

When Xiao Muli had finished going through the documents, Situ Xin turned to him and asked, "What do you think? Do you have any opinions?"

Setting down the documents, Xiao Muli looked at Situ Xin and said, "Xiao Xin, about this matter, can I solve it myself?" Xiao Muli knew that Situ Xin had detailed information on the Xiao Family Ancestral House, especially about Xiao Yongxin. If she had such detailed information, it definitely meant that Situ Xin was planning on going against the Xiao Family.

To be honest, Xiao Muli wasn’t worried about Situ Xin stepping in because he cared for the Xiao Family; rather, he felt that as a man, he didn’t want to put the woman he liked and cared about in the slightest bit of danger.

This recent assassination attempt had left Xiao Muli feeling upset for not protecting Situ Xin well. This time, he wanted to personally repay Xiao Yongxin for his deeds, bit by bit.

"Solve it yourself?" Situ Xin hadn’t expected Xiao Muli to say that.

"Yes, I will handle this matter myself. Perhaps I don’t yet have the strength to go up against Xiao Yongxin now, but I will strive to. I believe that soon, I will be able to repay him for everything he has done to me, piece by piece. I will also take back everything of the Xiao Family from his grasp," Xiao Muli said, initially feeling a bit powerless. Yet, with Situ Xin looking at him and seeing the determination in her eyes, he felt confident, believing that one day, he would be strong enough to stand by her side.

Situ Xin might not know what was going through Xiao Muli’s mind at that moment, but seeing the confidence in him now brought a sincere smile to her face.

"So, Muli, how do you plan on improving your strength?" While Situ Xin was happy about Xiao Muli’s growth, she knew that becoming stronger wasn’t just a matter of saying it—it required blood, sweat, and tears.

Upon hearing Situ Xin’s question, Xiao Muli paused before looking into her eyes and responding seriously, "Isn’t it almost summer vacation? I’ve asked Grandpa Xiao to send me into a mercenary troop,"

Situ Xin didn’t expect Xiao Muli to consider becoming a mercenary to grow stronger. "A mercenary? How could Grandpa Xiao..." Moreover, Situ Xin was surprised that Old Master Xiao would agree to send his only grandson into a mercenary troop, which was completely different from a military training.

"Yes, because my grandfather knows the Leader of the mercenary troop. I’ll be training with them and going on missions, without actually joining them," which also meant that Xiao Muli would have enough freedom.

Deep down, Situ Xin actually thought joining a mercenary troop wasn’t a bad choice for someone looking to improve their strength, because mercenaries truly lived life on the edge of the knife.

Although Situ Xin had promised Xiao Muli she would leave the Xiao Family to him, she had also instructed Xia Yujie to keep a close watch on the Xiao Family, especially Xiao Yongxin.

If there was nothing else to do, it wouldn’t hurt to suppress the Xiao Family a bit.

Before Xiao Muli left, Situ Xin prepared various life-saving elixirs and medicines for external injuries from her Storage Ring. She even took out a handgun she had modified and asked him to carry it for self-protection.

While Situ Xin wanted to see Xiao Muli grow stronger quickly, it had to be under the condition of ensuring his safety.

Xiao Muli accepted the items from Situ Xin and stored them one by one into the Storage Ring she had previously given him. Then he reached out and before Situ Xin could react, pulled her tightly into his embrace. He whispered in her ear, "Xiao Xin, wait for me to come back." Then he gently kissed her forehead before letting her go.

Situ Xin was left stunned by Xiao Muli’s gesture, and her ears involuntarily flushed red.

And Situ Jin, who had been feeling melancholic about his good brother’s departure, immediately bristled upon witnessing Xiao Muli’s actions towards his sister. "Xiao Muli, what were you just doing?" he said, pulling Situ Xin behind him, watching Xiao Muli with a defensive stance.

Yu Qihao’s eyes flickered when he saw Xiao Muli’s move. Even though he remained silent, his lips were tightly pursed; he was far from calm.

When Xiao Muli returned, he appeared darker and thinner, but Situ Xin immediately sensed the change in his aura. Xiao Muli now carried a genuine aura of killing, but it softened considerably when he saw Situ Xin. "Xiao Xin, I’m back," he said with a faint smile, radiating contentment and longing.

"Good to have you back, and stronger." The period of training hadn’t made Xiao Muli a true strong man yet, but he had grown much stronger. He was no longer just an immature teenager. Situ Xin believed that it wouldn’t be long before he grew into a real powerhouse.

After Xiao Muli came back, he didn’t immediately act against the Xiao Family. But Situ Xin knew that he had already begun preparing in secret.
