Chapter 216



"Who told you that your skills are inferior to others?!" Sheng Xice raised his thin lips.

Feeling that Xiao Mei in his arms was extremely weak, he quickly took off his cloak. With one hand, he wrapped Xiao Mei up in a ball, and with the other hand, he held her and continuously transmitted her internal energy.

Sheng Nanxi hadn't fully recovered from the excessive consumption at Mobei Pass, and she had been hit hard by the previous attack, which was really too much for her.

Fortunately, the Xirong people brought powerful giant cannons this time, so she didn't have to kill people herself. She just needed to use Fengliu to return the cannons to their original routes.

In addition, the medicine Xiao Cheng gave her was indeed very effective, so she did not faint from exhaustion.

Seeing her third brother looking so aggrieved, Sheng Nanxi laughed inwardly. She gently stroked the dog head that Sheng Yichen had brought over and consoled him:

"Okay, okay! I'll play with you again when we go back later, okay?"

"I don't need anyone to accompany me! You should just take a good rest." Sheng Yichen snorted coldly at 꽭.

Although he was very unhappy that 께五 got there first, 껩 knew that Xi'er needed a good rest now, so he was reluctant to torment her further.

The few of them met and explained their respective situations in detail. Seeing that the Northwest Frontier Army was already carrying out the aftermath work in an orderly manner, they prepared to go back. Suddenly, a tall woman walked out from the bushes behind them.

"Sir, your amulet just fell to the ground."

After Wang Xuran handed the amulet he had just picked up back to Sheng Yichen, he saluted to the group neatly:

"Thank you, young master, and your family for rushing to the rescue, which gave our Northwest Border Army a chance to catch its breath. The royal family will remember your kindness today."

Sheng Yichen quickly took over and waved his hand: "It's okay. It's everyone's responsibility to protect the country. 께五, don't you agree?"

"Yeah." Sheng Jice nodded.

Wang Xuran turned his head and looked at Sheng Xiaoce as the voice came, his pupils suddenly shrank, "You...wait, I seem to have seen you somewhere...you are Sheng..."

As if she had thought of Sheng Yuce's sensitive identity and was afraid of causing trouble to the other party if she called out his name, she held back the name that was about to come out of her mouth. She carefully looked at the people in front of her again and asked suspiciously:

"Ahem... Fifth Young Master, these are all your family members? So, this doll is your little sister?"

Wang Xuran fell in love with the soft and cute baby in front of him at first sight, and couldn't help pinching Sheng Nanxi's fat. He also took off the golden bag that was specially used to hold snacks and handed it to her.

"Yes! I'm Xiao Shiyi, beautiful sister, you can call me Xiao Xier!"

After taking the snacks, Sheng Nanxi did not forget to rub her fat face on the beautiful sister's hand. She looked like a pure and innocent naive person.

"So her name is 께希兒... So cute!"

Wang Xuran was simply overwhelmed by the cuteness, and an auntie smile appeared on his face. He rubbed Sheng Nanxi's head and then turned to the remaining two people.

The boy holding Xi'er looked mature and extraordinary, but he didn't look like a member of the Sheng family. The tall, scoundrel-like man next to him looked a bit like Sheng Xiaoce and his sister, so he must be their brother...

For some reason, Wang Xuran's pace suddenly became faster and his voice trembled a little.

"So... so, you are Sheng San? Hey... you guys are all still alive? I knew it... I knew it..."

Wang Xuran's expression suddenly became complicated. The northwest was a long way from the capital, and they learned that the Sheng family had been exiled more than ten years ago.

She and her sister knew that the King of Qin had always been loyal and would never commit so many evil deeds as the imperial edict said. They immediately sent people to find the exile team, hoping to get in touch with the Sheng family to see if there was anything they could do to help.

Unfortunately, when their people arrived, the Sheng family had already escaped from the exile team. The court announced that the Sheng family members had fled for fear of punishment, which was an even greater crime, and immediately issued a wanted notice to all counties.

After she and her sister learned about this, they became even more worried and sent more people to look for the whereabouts of the Sheng family.

The people she sent out never replied. She always dreamed of the scene of the loyal and brave people of the Sheng family being killed at night. After waking up, she couldn't sleep all night.

I didn't expect that after searching everywhere, the person I had been looking for suddenly appeared before my eyes!

Sheng Nanxi smiled and nodded, answering her question.

Wang Xuran was completely calm. He actually felt a slight soreness in his nose and turned his face away unnaturally.

"Oh! Auntie, you finally recognized me! I thought you were a forgetful person and had long forgotten about me, your savior!" Sheng Yichen crossed his arms and snorted in annoyance.

He was a little dissatisfied that he had saved this girl's life, but she was the first to recognize Fifth Brother!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned the word "savior", the mist in Wang Xuran's eyes disappeared in an instant as if a switch was pressed, and directly turned into a ball of blazing fire.

"Okay! Sheng Yichen, you recognized me right from the start. Are you pretending not to know me just to make fun of me?!"

"How dare you ask me for saving my life?! Ten years ago, at a banquet in the palace, I got permission from the Queen Mother to jump into the Qiong Pond to catch koi. I was just about to catch one, but you, a fool, insisted that I was drowning and pulled me out."

"You shouted everywhere for someone to save me, not only did you let people see my wet appearance, but you also said that my maid was bribed and deliberately did not save me, and directly made her faint!"

"You, you, you did such a lousy thing, and you still have the nerve to thank me for my kindness?!"

Wang Xuran became angrier as he spoke, and the silver chain creaked as his hands shook.

"I, I, I..." Sheng Yichen took a few steps back unnaturally. Even if he was in the right, his momentum could not be changed.

"I was only seven years old at the time. How could I tell the difference carefully? Besides, what kind of good person would go into the water to catch fish and bury his whole body in the pond, with his hands shaking like cramps?!"

"Wang Xuran, stop making excuses. If I hadn't stood up for justice, you would have been dead long ago!"

"You...you are simply confusing right and wrong!"

Wang Xuran was furious. He refused to admit that when he listened to the maids' stories, he could always hear the passage about the dark room in the rockery and fish pond in the palace, and he was extremely curious.

When she followed her father into the palace that year, she saw that the late queen loved her very much, so she took the opportunity to say that she wanted to catch fish for fun. In order to look for fish more carefully, she even dived directly to the bottom of the pond.

Sheng Yichen touched his nose unconsciously when he saw her angry look.

"Alright! Even if it was just a misunderstanding, why are you so unreasonable?! After that, I personally picked dozens of thousand-leaf lotus and sent them to you as an apology, but you never said a good word to me!"

"Sheng Yichen!" Wang Xuran became even angrier upon hearing this.

"Great! So it was you who put the lotus that suddenly appeared by my bed! Why didn't you ask the servants to pass the flowers on instead of throwing them directly on someone's face?! I got a rash all over my face and couldn't leave the house for half a month!"

"You, you, you have been so annoying since childhood!" Wang Xuran's hands were itchy.

Sheng Yichen felt inexplicably guilty and stepped back, but still refused to give in:

"You, you, you are so unreasonable! I gave you flowers with good intentions, who knew you were allergic to pollen? Besides, whether you are allergic or not depends entirely on your empty words, who knows if you made up a story to make me feel guilty?!"

"Huh! I heard that you have been in close contact with Master Murong of Yunyin Villa in recent years. He has many beautiful girls in his yard. Why didn't I see you lying in bed after you went to his place?!"

"Mr. Murong? Okay, Sheng Yiceng! You're actually spying on me?!"

Except for her closest people, no one knew that she had a good relationship with Mr. Murong. Wang Xuran's eyes flashed with surprise, and when she saw Sheng Yichen's face full of ridicule, she was furious and threw a silver chain at him:

"You are such a despicable person! Today we meet by chance, let's settle the old and new accounts together!"
