"What are you laughing at?" Qing Yuan was a little dissatisfied and looked at Xichen in a reproachful manner.

He didn't understand why the person his young master admired was so uncultured. Not only did he interrupt others, but he also laughed to himself.

This made Qingyuan feel like he was an actor being laughed at.

"I laugh. Some people probably still haven't recognized the situation clearly. They don't know what kind of state they are in or what kind of environment they are in." Xichen stopped laughing and glanced at Qingyuan.

Originally, because Xu Tianze still remembered their old friendship, Xichen thought that they would work together anyway and couldn't let their relationship become strained.

That's why he took over directly when Qingyuan passed the message just now. He didn't expect that he was too kind-hearted and actually led to a clown.

"Master appreciates me, so I must have my merits. What does it have to do with whether you like me or not? Or can you represent the master?" Xichen changed the subject and directly questioned Qingyuan.

"You, huh, I have been following the young master since I was young, so who are you?" Qing Yuan's face turned pale with anger at Xichen's words, but he still maintained his pride.

“Puff.”

Xichen originally thought Qingyuan would say something big, but he was unexpectedly very confident, and in the end all he said was this: "My childhood companion."

If this had happened before the Xu family was destroyed, Xichen would probably have retreated, but now, it’s hard to say.

"Why have you been following the master since childhood? Do you want to explain it?" Xichen looked at Qingyuan with a smile.

This is not a secret in Shangjing City, so there is nothing to be proud of. He only dares to say this in front of him. If Qingyuan dares to say this in front of Xu Tianze, he will be stabbing Xu Tianze in the back.

You have to know that Xu Tianze didn't want to see Qingyuan because of this incident. Now that Qingyuan has come back shamelessly, why doesn't he just keep his tail between his legs and behave himself?

He also stirs up trouble and even acts arrogantly. Xichen sometimes really can't understand why there are so many weirdos around his new master.

It can't be that it's because my master doesn't follow the usual path, right?

Xu Tianze:······Your master is very normal, please don’t hesitate to contact me, thank you.

"Hmph, even if I have a problem, don't you have one?" Qing Yuan's face turned from pale to blue, and he could only snort coldly.

The arrogance in his eyes had dissipated a lot, and he became a little pretentious.

"Yes, my status is naturally a hindrance, so I never cause trouble for my master." Xichen frankly admitted his problem.

His admission made Qingyuan seem a little petty. This frank attitude alone made Qingyuan stand apart from him.

What's more, as Xichen spoke, he looked Qingyuan up and down, and his expression was almost as if he was saying that it was Qingyuan who caused trouble for Xu Tianze.

Before Qingyuan could say anything else, Xichen turned around and walked back into the yard, completely ignoring Qingyuan who was furious behind him.

Everyone in the world is arrogant, and Xichen is no exception. If they were other subordinates of Xu Tianze, they would be treated equally because they serve the same master.

Xichen would also be more polite, but if others wanted to step on him to get to the top, or simply didn't treat him well, Xichen would naturally not tolerate it.

"Master, have you finished your meal?" Xichen walked in and saw Xu Tianze leaning against a tree. The maple leaves were falling slowly with the early morning autumn breeze.

When Xu Tianze looked up at him, the maple leaves on the tree made a rustling sound, as if it was not Xu Tianze who responded to him, but the smile of the entire autumn.

For a moment, Xichen's entire mind was occupied by this picture, and he had no time to think about anything else.

"You come back on time." Xu Tianze smiled and pointed at the stone bench in front of him, motioning Xichen to sit down.

"Xichen has seen many cases where the master doesn't allow anyone to serve him while he eats, but the master is the only one who doesn't allow anyone to stand by him." Xichen didn't hesitate and sat down to joke with Xu Tianze.

He had become familiar with Xu Tianze during this period of time and knew that he could still make these harmless jokes.

"Here I am." Xu Tianze smiled and signaled Xichen not to move, then calmly drank the warm porridge.

Xichen was still a little curious about what Xu Tianze would say next, and then he saw a group of men in black climbing over the wall and rushing towards them.

Xichen's eyes narrowed, and he was ready to jump up and stay by Xu Tianze's side. He was even ready to expose the fact that he knew martial arts.

But when he thought of the look Xu Tianze gave him just now, he forced himself to suppress his impulse and waited for the opportunity.

Just when someone was about to look at Xu Tianze, Xu Tianze was still drinking the porridge calmly, while Xichen tensed his body and was ready to stop him immediately.

At this critical moment, the man who attacked Xu Tianze was grabbed by the wrist and thrown out.

Xichen looked carefully and found that it was Ma Zheng who had left earlier and had returned.

"You are really brave." Ma Zheng looked at the men in black around him with a dark look in his eyes and an anxious face.

"Retreat." As soon as the man in black saw Ma Zheng, he immediately retreated and prepared to leave.

"Qingyuan, kill." Xu Tianze had not spoken since the man in black came in. Now that he saw the man was about to leave, he spoke silently.

Then he drank the last mouthful of porridge and stared at Ma Zheng silently, with such a calm look as if he was looking at a dead person.

For a moment, cold sweat kept breaking out on Ma Zheng's forehead. He could clearly feel the extremely cold gaze behind him, but he didn't dare to look back.

Qing Yuan had already rushed into the yard when the men in black rushed in, but there were so many men in black that he couldn't get in for a while.

Now after hearing Xu Tianze's words, Qingyuan, who was on the periphery, had room to act. He stabbed a stunned man in black through with a knife, and then swung his knife at the other men in black.

Originally Qing Yuan still had some concerns, but seeing that Ma Zheng was guarding Xu Tianze, he didn't care about that and started to attack with deadly moves.

Although Xu Tianze had been keeping his eyes on Ma Zheng, he also paid some attention to Qing Yuan. Seeing that Qing Yuan's martial arts were even better than before, Xu Tianze felt relieved.

I originally thought Qingyuan would have a hard time, but now it seems there is no problem.

The men in black had long lost their will to fight, and naturally had no chance of winning against Qing Yuan, whose moves were deadly. However, within a cup of tea, except for the few leading ones who were still breathing, the others had all died.
