Butler Lu's words made sense, and Xiao Xi glanced at the scene outside the warm light barrier.

Even she felt a chill run down her spine; it was indescribable.

Although she possessed countless magical treasures that could protect herself and Ye Lingfeng, how could she abandon Ye Shiming and so many others?

"what to do?"

Ye Lingfeng, Ye Shiming, and Butler Lu all asked the question at the same time.

"I'm thinking about it."

Xiaoxi wanted to reassure everyone not to panic, but ultimately felt somewhat unsure of herself.

But seeing the trusting and expectant looks in everyone's eyes, Xiaoxi still said, "Everyone, calm down, don't panic! Let me think about it some more."

At this moment, the bodyguard captain stood up resolutely.

"Master, why don't we bodyguards just rush out and fight? Protecting you is our duty."

"No, you'll only be throwing your lives away if you go out like this. You'll be torn to pieces!" Ye Shiming stopped them.

The bodyguard captain looked at the dense horde of evil spirits outside and said, "Master, you have always treated us well. Now is the time for us to repay you. Please take care of our families when the time comes."

The bodyguard captain then said to Xiaoxi, "Miss, we will try our best to hold off the evil spirit for as long as possible, and then we will trouble you to lead the head of the family and everyone else to escape."

Xiaoxi and Ye Shiming both disagreed, "No way!"

Ye Shiming believes that we live in a time when no one needs to sacrifice themselves to give him a chance to live, and that the bodyguard captain's loyalty is blind.

Xiaoxi believed that the bodyguard captain would be throwing his life away if he went out, and that he wouldn't be able to hold off those evil spirits outside or buy them time.

However, the bodyguard captain's suggestion reminded Xiaoxi that there was no need to send people out to their deaths, but they could go out to fetch reinforcements.

"Uncle Captain, what time were you born?"

"ah?"

The bodyguard captain didn't react in time. Why was Miss Nie bringing up his birth date and time? How would he know? He only knew which day his birthday was.

“My birthday is April 18th. My mom said I was born in the morning. My name is Zhou Junyang. My dad is a retired soldier and he hoped I would join the army. When I grew up, I did join the army.”

The bodyguard captain said he was born in the morning, but Xiaoxi, looking at his face, deduced that he was most likely born around 9 or 10 o'clock, when the yang energy was still strong.

Moreover, he had served in the military, which met Xiaoxi's criteria.

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I'll see you out later."

Xiaoxi looked around at everyone again, "Is anyone here born around midnight, that is, between 11:00 and 1:00?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Little girl, I was born at midnight."

It turned out to be the doctor that Butler Lu brought back.

“Young lady, don’t you remember me? I’m a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the Old Street Clinic who specializes in treating sprains and bruises. That gangster almost killed me back then, but you saved me.”

Xiaoxi then remembered that this was true. Wasn't this the doctor who ran his own clinic and had ancestral bone-setting techniques?

"Young lady, I haven't properly thanked you back then, now is the time for me to repay you."

Xiaoxi saw that his face was pale and his hands were still trembling, and she knew that he was scared, otherwise he wouldn't have fainted just now.

But the doctor tried his best to hide his fear, appearing as if he were going to his death.

"Little girl, my name is Leng Dong. I was born in the seventh month of the lunar calendar... right at midnight." He could barely speak clearly.

But Xiaoxi understood.

She then turned her gaze to Ye Shiming.

Ye Shiming immediately understood, "What does Xiaoxi need me to do?"
