Chapter 298 Signs of Conspiracy
It was rare for Chu Tiankuo to see Tang Xia talking to him so calmly and peacefully. He became interested and raised his brows. He walked up to her slowly. Tang Xia was vigilant and took two steps back. Chu Tiankuo reached out his hand slowly and Tang Xia quickly closed her eyes. However, nothing happened. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the indifferent look on his face.

“What? Am I a jackal, wolf, tiger, or panther trying to eat you? Why are you so nervous?” Chu Tiankuo’s tone was obviously filled with dissatisfaction. Tang Xia smiled embarrassedly. She also saw a tint of disappointment flash across his eyes. She felt even more guilty to him.

“No, I was just scared by the War King. It has nothing to do with you. Didn’t I just thank you? Now that you’re no longer crazy, of course, I won’t treat you like a jackal, wolf, tiger or panther.” While saying so, she suddenly felt her body becoming weak and her vision turning blurry. She almost fell over. Chu Tiankuo got a shock and quickly caught her in his arms. He carried her diagonally and placed her gently on the sofa.

Tang Xia let out a gasp in surprise. She had never seen him being so gentle. The small tint of anger in her heart was erased completely. Chu Tiankuo said annoyedly in a deep voice, “I told you to go back and have a good rest, but you didn’t listen. Do you know that you just had a close shave with death!”

She lowered her head like a child admitting her mistake. She could only reply with “hmm”s and “ah”s. Chu Tiankuo also did not know what to do with her, which seemed to always be the case. He could only say helplessly, “Alright, as you wish, I will not help you in the future. In this game, you are the only one you can rely on.”

After saying so, he turned around and looked out of the window, pretending that he was not going to hear what she was going to say next. Tang Xia felt grateful to him and said with a smile, “I know that you have always been good to me and you have no bad intentions, so I’m accepting you as my friend. Don’t worry, I will work harder in the future.”

However, Chu Tiankuo did not make any sound at all and continued to look out of the window as if he did not hear her. Seeing him acting like this, Tang Xia knew very well that he did not want anyone to disturb him. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.” Seeing that he still had no answer, she pushed the door open and went out directly.

Hearing the sound of the door behind him closing, Chu Tiankuo then turned his head around slowly. His gaze was deep and desolate, which Tang Xia had never seen before. He could not help but murmur, “Just… friends…ha.”

Meanwhile, when Chu Tiankuo dragged Tang Xia away, Ye Yifan was released by the elders. Ye Yifan quickly went to Chu Tiankuo’s door to wait for her. As soon as Tang Xia came out, he immediately went up to her. He was shocked by how weak she looked. He became so angry instantly and wanted to rush into Chu Tiankuo’s room immediately. Tang Xia was startled and quickly stopped him. “What are you trying to do?”

Ye Yifan forced himself to suppress his anger and asked in a low voice, “What did Chu Tiankuo do to you? Why are you so weak?” Tang Xia finally understood that he had misunderstood the situation. Feeling slightly exhausted, she sighed and rested all her strength on him.

“Nothing, we just had a chat. I made him promise me not to help me anymore and stuff like that.” Ye Yifan did not believe her completely. He looked at her and was about to say something when Tang Xia quickly continued to explain.

“I’m weak because of the War King, not him. He was the one that saved me from having my blood completely sucked away.” Hearing her explanation, Ye Yifan finally believed her. Although he did not like Chu Tiankuo, he knew that Chu Tiankuo would definitely not tolerate seeing Tang Xia being hurt.

Ye Yifan helped Tang Xia back to her room. However, just as they started to walk back, they bumped into Li Xianxian. Tang Xia frowned a little annoyedly. Just as she was about to make a detour, Li Xianxian stopped them and said, “Tang Xia! Don’t go!”

Tang Xia ignored her and asked Ye Yifan to quickly take her away. Ye Yifan also did not like Li Xianxian that much now. The scene of her strangling Su Yanxun’s neck and forcing Tang Xia to surrender was still vivid in his memory. However, Li Xianxian was determined to catch up with Tang Xia. She could not care less about maintaining her lady-like image. She ran to them and stood in front of them, panting.

“Li Xianxian, what exactly do you want? After all the things that happened earlier, you still have the decency to come here? I can’t afford to provoke you, but I can afford to hide from you.” After saying so, she shoved Li Xianxian away and continued walking. But how could Li Xianxian give up so easily? She quickly grabbed Tang Xia’s hand and did not let go.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

“Listen to what I have to say! I was forced by the War King. Although I’m from the Elders Team, you must know that I cannot defeat him. I was forced to help him only. You must believe me. This is a drink to quickly restore your energy. Drink some.” While saying so, she handed her a drink. Tang Xia was skeptical and looked at Ye Yifan.

Ye Yifan also shook his head to express that he also did not know what was wrong with her that made her so hardworking. Tang Xia pushed back the hand that offered the drink and looked at her with a cold gaze. She said feebly, “Li Xianxian, I don’t care what you’re trying to do. I only know one truth. One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. You should use this time to think about how you’re going to win.”

After saying so, she left without looking back. Li Xianxian looked at Tang Xia’s back and her eyes turned red with grievances. Fans in the broadcast room also looked at Li Xianxian strangely. There were a lot of ongoing arguments about her.

After Tang Xia went back to her room, Ye Yifan took care of her for a while. After making sure that she was fine, he left. Tang Xia finally had a good sleep. Without the War King, except for Li Xianxian, she had almost nothing to worry about here.

But when she just woke up, she heard a knock on the door. Tang Xia was a little confused. She was feeling much better after taking a nap. She struggled to get out of her bed to open the door. She thought it would be either Katherine or Jiang Yu, and did not expect it to be Li Xianxian. She was holding onto some food and looking at her with a charming look.

Tang Xia raised her brows. Almost instantly, she slammed the door shut. However, Li Xianxian was not going to give up. If Tang Xia did not open her door, she would keep on knocking on it, causing Tang Xia to be annoyed. Eventually, she could not help but open the door and scold, “Li Xianxian, what on earth do you want?”

But when she looked closely, she realized that there was actually no one at the door. There were just two bottles of drinks left at the doorstep. Tang Xia raised her brows. She picked up the drink and observed carefully. She muttered quietly, “Could she have poisoned these?” Eventually, she threw the drinks away.

She thought that this matter had come to an end, but she did not expect Li Xianxian to come to her room every day at the same time. Tang Xia was extremely helpless. Anyone with amazing patience would have been defeated by Li Xianxian. Looking at Li Xianxian who was standing at the door, Tang Xia finally could not hold herself back from saying, “What do you want?”

Li Xianxian was different today. She pointed at her room shyly and asked, “Can I go in and talk?” Although Tang Xia was scolding her in her heart, she still let her in. She wanted to talk through everything today in case Li Xianxian would torture her. Even someone made of iron would not be able to endure it.

“Can you say it now?” There were only two of them in the room. Li Xianxian was no longer shy. She turned her head and became serious. Treating the place like her own, she sat down on her bed and said to her,

“Actually, all the things that I did these few days were all orders from July. After all, we are under the same company, and we are all family. July hopes that we can work together. Recently, cross-era live streaming companies are threatening our company’s position. Otherwise, why do you think I’m so persistent to come and please you every day?”

Li Xianxian was also helpless. Although Tang Xia still had some doubts, there was no other way to explain her actions during this period of time.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

She looked at her helplessly and said, “Even so, you don’t have to act like this every day. You can just say it! Every day, you made me thought that you’ve become crazy. It’s really scary.”

A hint of imperceptible sarcasm flashed across Li Xianxian’s eyes. She suddenly smiled gently and said, “Since you’ve already known the whole story, I won’t stay longer. I’ll give this drink to you. You should keep it and drink.” Then, she stood up, straightened her clothes, pushed the door open, and walked out without saying anything else.

Tang Xia looked at Li Xianxian’s back as she left, and then at the drink on the table. Although she understood July’s intentions, it was impossible for her to trust Li Xianxian completely. It was just like a weasel giving new year blessings to a chicken. She walked towards it slowly but still ended up throwing the drink into the garbage can.

At that moment, they were oblivious to the fact that Li Xianxian’s actions had caused a sensation in the broadcast room. A huge number of Li Xianxian’s fans started to help her regain her conscience. The whole broadcast room was filled with praises for her.

“My Xianxian is so sensible, gentle, and lovely!”

“That’s right. She’s not ungrateful like Tang Xia!”

“Good luck, Xianxian! You’ll always be the best!”

“…”

One night, Li Xianxian suddenly called Tang Xia and Ye Yifan to gather together in the hall. Tang Xia could not help but wonder what tricks she had up her sleeve.

Although Ye Yifan was also uncertain about what was going on, her actions in the past two days had proven that she had changed herself for the better. Ye Yifan and Li Xianxian had grown up together, and their relationship had been ongoing for many years. Hence, he was naturally inclined to her nonetheless.

“Say, why did you ask us out so late at night?” Tang Xia also knew that on the surface level, everyone was now on the same team. Hence, her facial expression was not as impatient as she truly was.

Li Xianxian looked at the two of them apologetically and said, “We have a task tonight, and we need the two of you to go together, sorry.”
