The 66th courtyard was the courtyard where Xiao Lingxi lived. Everyone in the Xiao Clan knew him very well because of how easy it was to remember him. After hearing Xiao Jiu say "66th page", the first thing they thought of was the owner of the page.
The crowd separated and isolated Xiao Lingxi's location, giving her a place to hide from everyone's eyes. Xiao Lie's expression changed greatly while Xiao Che's brows furrowed. His expression suddenly became very distant as he stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Lingxi. Waves of anger expanded with a rumble in his chest, threatening to explode.
Only when Xiao Jiu called out the words "66th page", Xiao Che completely understood what the discordant feeling he had experienced up to then!
Before, there were too many people on the street, and they also stood relatively close together. As a result, Xiao Kuangyun could not clearly point out where Xiao Lingxi was. However, now, he was naturally able to get a good look. Instantly, his eyes lit up and emitted a light similar to a ferocious wolf. This girl was not as good as Xia Qingyue, but was still a true young woman in every way. She had bright eyes and natural white teeth, attractive elegance, and a gentle, beautiful, and charming face. Especially his eyes, which, although currently filled with panic and fear, were still like pools of sparkling, clear, transparent, and completely moving tears.
Xiao Kuangyun forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his heart trembled and trembled ..that Xiao Yulong did not lie to me at all! Although this Xiao Lingxi was a little worse than Xia Qingyue as far as she looked, she was only a little worse off. However, the flavor will definitely be just as good. Also, when she was an adult, she would not always be worse than Xia Qingyue, I suddenly met with what could be considered two world-class beauties. This is just a gift of heaven for my long and arduous journey!
Xiao Kuangyun began to feel that his initial refusal to come to this Xiao Clan was a very foolish decision.Fortunately, he was unable to defy his father's orders in the end and obediently came here.
"Xiao Lingxi ... how could you ?!"
After seeing Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Yunhai's expression was first startled, then startled, then finally in disbelief.
“Not me! Clan Master ... it really isn't me! ”Xiao Lingxi forcefully shook her head, a look of fear all over her face. He actually had the thought of stealing the Profound Opening Powder last night, but after being captured by Xiao Lie, he obediently returned to his room and slept … He knew absolutely nothing about the theft of the Profound Opening Powder.
“Yeah, I didn't expect that careless thief would be a little girl. "Xiao Kuangyun said in a puzzling manner:" But I just said that no matter who it was, I wouldn't let it go! "
"ah! Xiao Lingxi, how could you ... act deliberately and do something rash like this ?! This Profound Opening Powder Box is a treasure that the Xiao Sect brought to thousands of li to reward us! With this, what can I ... possibly do? ”Xiao Yunhai sighed heavily with a very sad appearance.
"Clan Lord! I wasn't. I'm not the one who stole it! There must be a .. There must be a mistake somewhere! It really wasn't me! ”Xiao Lingxi shook her head repeatedly, her entire face was already pale.
Xiao Kuangyun said in an angry and resolute voice: "This Profound Opening Powder Box was found under your pillow. If you didn't steal it, did you tell me that the wing grew and flew there? Young Miss, I'm giving you the opportunity to admit your earlier mistakes. You're the one who didn't take it. Now that we have conclusive evidence as well as many people from outside the Xiao Clan as witnesses, you still want to deny it? Looks like you won't admit that I didn't give you a severe punishment! ”
"Give you a heavy punishment", those five words caused Xiao Lingxi's entire body to waver. If not for Xiao Che immediately supporting her, she might have already fallen on the ground. Xiao Che's hand clenched as the sound of*pop* was constantly heard from his knuckles. Xiao Kuangyun carefully watched, his entire body exuding, for the first time since his birth, right .. killing intent!
"Young Master Xiao, please calm down!" Xiao Yunhai immediately stepped forward and knelt down. He said pleading: "Xiao Lingxi stealing from the Xiao Sect is truly unforgivable, but. In my Xiao Clan, he is well-liked. The fact that he was going to steal the Profound Opening Powder also involved some complications .. ”
“Complications? What complications? ”Xiao Kuangyun asked with a dark expression.
Xiao Yunhai used his eyes to show Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Che, who were standing together. She said with a regretful expression, “Xiao Lingxi is the only daughter of our fifth elder, and she has a niece named Xiao Che who is older than her by a year. This niece of his had the misfortune of being born with the deformity of deep veins. With the deformity of blood vessels, no matter how Xiao Che grew in other areas, she said, it was still the same as most of his life had been ruined. Xiao Lingxi deeply appreciated Xiao Che and was always looking for a way to recover his deep veins.This was something that everyone in the Xiao Clan and Floating Cloud City knew. Everyone here can attest to that. The reason Xiao Lingxi would have the courage to steal the Profound Opening Powder was obvious because she heard that the Profound Opening Powder had the power to restore the destroyed deep veins. Therefore, with the aim of saving his nephew, he committed this reckless crime. ”
“Although the crime has been committed, and the evidence is convincing without a doubt, I beg Young Master Xiao to be lenient with his punishment due to the fact that our Xiao Lingxi is young and has a sincere heart. Our entire Xiao Clan will be grateful for Young Master Xiao's incredible kindness. ”
Although Xiao Yunhai's posture was low, every word he spoke was sincere. They struck directly into the heart, causing everyone to feel touched. His words also allowed those who did not understand how Xiao Lingxi would have the courage to steal the Profound Opening Powder to suddenly realize … It turned out that the Profound Opening Powder also had the ability to restore damaged deep blood vessels. Quick…
Everyone in Floating Cloud City knew that Xiao Che's deep veins had been damaged from birth. The fact that Xiao Lingxi was always doting on him and unceasingly worrying about the state of her deep veins was also something that everyone in the Xiao Clan knew. With this, the fact that Xiao Lingxi would steal the Profound Opening Powder was no longer reckless, but more reasonable.
Only Xiao Che sneered in anger .. Perfect show! On the surface, it was someone who begged for forgiveness for Xiao Lingxi's sake, but in truth, it completely legitimized the accusations against her! If he was an outsider, perhaps even he would think that everything was Xiao Lingxi's doing.
“It turns out there is a situation like this. '' After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, Xiao Kuangyun's expression clearly softened a little. He said lightly, “Hmph. My noble self is not a cruel and merciless person. Since he made this mistake for the sake of his nephew, given this feeling, as long as he obediently admitted his mistake and apologized, I can still consider it gently … "
“Not me! It really wasn't me who stole it! ”Xiao Lingxi forcefully shook her head. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "If I did, I would definitely confess .. But I really did not steal the Profound Opening Powder! I especially don't know why it would show up in my room .. There must be some kind of mistake! Clan Master, please trust me. It really wasn't me! ”
Xiao Lingxi shouted in this way not only did not move anyone, but instead had the opposite reaction due to the previous confusion of Xiao Yunhai, and it was also found in his room . These facts can fully determine the error. That Xiao Yunhai would ask for leniency on his behalf without regard for danger or dignity was already very kind-hearted and moving, yet he was still unwilling to confess.
The expression of Xiao Kuangyun who had just softened once again darkened. He said cynically, “Where is there an error? Our Xiao Sect has personally found this Extraordinary Opening Powder in your room. Are you saying that the members of our Xiao Sect purposely trapped you, a young lady from this little Xiao Clan? Eh? ”
Xiao Kuangyun said this sentence with great anger and confidence .. That the grand Xiao Sect would deliberately frame someone from the Xiao Clan, who was not even worth anything in their eyes? It would be a joke to anyone who heard it.
At this moment, the First Elder of the Xiao Xiao Li Clan stood up. He pointed at Xiao Lingxi and said in a stern voice, “Xiao Lingxi! You made a huge mistake, and thus humiliated the entire Xiao Clan. The clan master is still personally asking for leniency on your behalf, and even Young Master Xiao is thinking of dealing with you generously. But all of a sudden you still don't know a good thing when you see it! You really ... disappointed us too much! "
“Ah, more than disappointing, it was heartbreaking. "Second Elder Xiao Bo shook his head and said with a dejected expression:" He will go to the extent of squandering the continuous pleas of the clan lord for leniency .. Ah! Xiao Lingxi, what kind of existence is the Xiao Sect that they would intentionally and wrongly accuse you of? If you can change your ways after making a mistake, that's best. But you behaving like this in front of our various friends from Floating Cloud City greatly embarrassed us. ”
"I ... you .. you ..." After seeing the merciless and cold gazes one after another, Xiao Lingxi's beautiful body trembled, and teardrops flowed from her eyes. His mind was completely empty. He cannot pronounce complete sentences.
At this moment, Xiao Che lightly squeezed his little hand with his. Standing beside her, she said in a warm voice that only she could hear: "Little aunt, do not be afraid, because it doesn't matter what you say now. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not. I'll always trust little auntie. Leave the rest to me. ”
Leave the rest .. to me …
His profound strength was extremely small, and his body was weak. He has grown under his constant protection. Yet it was precisely this weak body that stood in front of him. When he said these simple words, his panicked, helpless, and cold mind quickly and suddenly became peaceful and warm, where, whenever he was bullied, he would always fly from afar to stand in front of him and, using his hands, feet, and teeth as his most ferocious weapon, was, prevent it from receiving even the smallest scratches …
Xiao Che ... He secretly muttered in his heart.
"* Cough**cough*.*.." Xiao Che stepped forward a few steps and faked a few coughs, attracting everyone's attention. He bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao and the other three friends who are traveling here from the distant Xiao Sect. Allow me to introduce myself .. I am Xiao Lingxi's nephew, Xiao Che who is considered by everyone without any redeeming features. I have some questions, I want to ask the clan master about the stolen Profound Opening Powder and then recover. There shouldn't be a problem with that, right? ”
"Oh ... You are the famous trash of Floating Cloud City?" Xiao Kuangyun nonchalantly glanced at her and sneered in a disgusted voice: "You shouldn't think of making excuses for your little aunt, right? * Chuckles*, it's okay, I really want to see what you can find with your inquiry. ”
"Che Er ..." Xiao Lie, whose face had long since turned pale, uttered lightly. The response he got was from Xiao Che's right hand behind his back, which showed him to be quiet.
"That's great!" Xiao Che nodded as his gaze turned to Xiao Yunhai: " Clan master, I have some questions I want to ask you about the Profound Opening Powder …"
Not waiting for Xiao Yunhai's reply, Xiao Che had already started asking: "First question .. Clan Master, you, whether it is your cultivation of profound strength or mental fortitude, are you, the one who excels among our Xiao Clan. What's more, your temperament is stable and wise. Otherwise, you will not be able to become the overlord of our Xiao Clan clan. This matter, everyone in the Xiao Clan, and even everyone in Floating Cloud City, all knew without exception. Then the question is, this excavator .. Oh, that's not true. With the Clan Master's wise disposition, after receiving the reward from the Xiao Sect, the best course of action is to keep it by your side, since only then is it at your side the safest … But the Clan Master instead left him in the hospital, which could be said to be the most unsafe location. Can the Clan Master explain this? "
