“Wow——”

The sky was filled with iron flowers falling again.

Sheng Nanxi raised her head and saw a young boy leaping up from behind the stage. With one sword, he knocked away a strong man who was about to pounce on her!

Two masked men, one tall and one short, on the stage immediately started fighting with a burly man in a lion dance costume.

Sheng Yichen fired darts one after another to help. After a while, the strong man was chopped to the ground.

"Ah—someone's been murdered!"

"Someone's been killed! Run!"

“…”

The speed of the fighting between masters like them was extremely fast. To ordinary people, it was just a flash of swords and shadows in front of their eyes, and it was not clear.

At this moment, blood was splattered everywhere, and the audience realized that these people were not performing "strong men fighting tigers", but were actually hacking and killing with real knives and guns!

For a moment, the people were so frightened that they fled in all directions. The young boy jumped off the stage and pulled Sheng Yichen's arm to the side.

"These people are the secret guards sent by the Dark Manor Lord before his death to kidnap Xier. They are acting cautiously, and they may have a backup plan. We can't stay here any longer, let's leave quickly!"

As soon as Gu Yuancheng finished speaking, he saw the shadow of the Hidden Guard appear again on the street corner.

She knew that if the other party really confirmed that she had been here, the little girl would be implicated.

His expression immediately turned fierce, and he grabbed Sheng Nanxi and ran in the opposite direction.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Give me my sister back!"

Sheng Yichen didn't even have time to thank him. He never thought that this little bean would move so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was gone like a mudskipper.

Seeing the two of them fleeing towards the city, his younger sister gestured to him to let go.

He then walked back to the carriage shop with his nose and eyes not looking at anything, pulled his donkey's cart, and followed the crowd into the city.

Gu Yuancheng probably ran away too fast, probably because Empress Dowager Beichen pushed him too hard. After a while, he and Sheng Nanxi returned to the post station.

Everyone in the Sheng family saw that it was a stranger who was carrying Xiao Xier back, and the little fat girl's face was covered with a lot of black ash.

They were all startled and quickly picked up the little girl to check if she was injured.

After seeing that she was fine, he asked where that little bastard Sheng Yichen had gone.

After learning more about the situation, she realized that it was this boy named Bai Cheng who saved her little girl. Her expression softened towards him.

Seeing the young boy in front of her who looked no more than ten years old, but with a tough and mature look on his tender face, Li Zhenyi felt inexplicably sad.

I was thinking of letting him come in and sit down for a while, but then I saw Gu Yuancheng's eyes rolled over and he fainted on the ground!

Nancy Sheng: !!!

The little fat girl was sitting in her mother's arms when she heard a bang from behind. She thought she had lost her hearing.

What's going on? Are you trying to scam me?!

"He must have been awake for several days, and the battle in the high temperature just now consumed too much energy, so he fainted."

Sheng Han put his hand on the boy's pulse and said calmly.

He learned martial arts since he was young and had some knowledge of human pulse.

But at this moment, he secretly sensed the other party's chaotic pulse, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Normally, at this age, most children are still thriving under the wings of their parents.

What kind of family situation made this child, at such a young age, bear such great pressure in life. He actually stayed awake for several nights and fainted from exhaustion.

Li Zhenyi looked at the boy's pale face, wondering if he was in pain. She quickly called Yunjin to help her carry him to the bed.

At this time, most of the veil on Gu Yuancheng's face had fallen off, revealing his porcelain-like skin and chiseled features.

Bai Xiu looked at that face and seemed to be stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Qinghe Bai Family? Qinghe Bai Family..."

Then a complex expression flashed across his face. He said calmly:

"Anyway, he helped Xiao Xier. I don't think his body can stand any more torture. Wang Han, go get him another room."

…

When Gu Yuancheng woke up again, the moon was at its zenith.

He opened his eyes dazedly and saw a cute little kid sitting on his bed playing with building blocks.

Gu Yuancheng inexplicably remembered a Persian cat he had raised as a child, and somehow he touched Sheng Nancy's little head.

Nancy Sheng:!

The little girl was very unhappy with the way the little brat was petting the cat, but she could only continue to act silly and cute.

She blinked her big, flickering eyes, then crawled to the bedside, brought a bowl of black medicine and handed it to Gu Yuancheng.

"We just asked the doctor to see you. The doctor said you were too tired. You feel so hot after drinking this medicine!"

The little girl looked harmless, scooped a little soup and put it into Gu Yuancheng's mouth.

Gu Yuancheng opened his mouth. Then his face turned bitter...

"hiss--"

The handsome boy's delicate face wrinkled in an instant, and his fair skin turned red.

Sheng Nanxi laughed wildly in her heart, but on the outside she still looked like an innocent little kid.

"As my dear said, good medicine tastes bitter. You are sick, so you must finish all this medicine."

After saying that, he scooped another scoop and put it into Gu Yuancheng's mouth.

Gu Yuancheng hadn't recovered from the explosive taste experience just now, so he subconsciously moved aside.

The little kid immediately blinked his big, ignorant eyes and asked sincerely:

"Huh? Why don't you take the medicine? Is it because you don't want to get better quickly?"

"You want to stay sick all the time so you can keep following us?"
