"Although I am not as noble as Your Highness, but..." Xuan Di heard Huo Chengche's words and the words that were about to come out suddenly caught in his throat. He immediately swallowed them and said instead, "But I am very willing to serve Your Highness! Moreover, how can Your Highness do such rough work? Let me do it!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest earnestly, subtly withdrew his hand from the little boy, and coughed lightly to cover up the abrupt change in tone.
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di, whose skin was as thick as a city wall, sneered, and glanced suggestively in that direction, "Then Guard Xuan Di, go quickly."
Xuan Di wore a respectful smile on his face, but in his heart he had already cursed Huo Chengche eight hundred times over. He nodded stiffly, and when he turned to walk towards the brown-clad servant, he was immediately filled with murderous intent. He had no idea how the brown-clad servant had offended him.
Just as Xuandi and Huo Chengche were bickering, the situation on the brown-robed servant's and Lin Xiucai's side had already turned around.
Lin Xiucai, a frail scholar, was no match for the young servant in brown.
Although she managed to catch the brown-clad servant off guard and pounce on him, the servant quickly flipped her over and subdued her again after a few moves.
This time, however, he didn't rush to kill Lin Xiucai. Instead, he gripped Lin's neck, making him gasp for breath in pain, and then glared fiercely at the two boys over there, "Who are you people! Mind your own business, don't you want to live?!"
"Guards! Guards! Surround this courtyard! Not even a fly is allowed to escape!" The brown-clad servant was startled by the imposing and murderous aura emanating from Xuan Di as he approached, and immediately gave the order.
However, no matter how much the servant in brown shouted, the courtyard gate remained empty and deserted.
Only from the dusty ruins in the distance came the deafening roars of tigers.
The little boy, forced to perch on Huo Chengche's shoulder, heard the fierce uncle scolding them and calling them flies. He immediately pouted angrily and shouted fiercely, "Fat Tuantuan! You scold them even more! Their leader scolded Niannian! And said Niannian is a fly!"
The soft, sweet voice that came out startled everyone in the courtyard.
Huo Chengche was simply stunned—this little rascal was shouting right next to his ear, practically shouting into it.
Although the sound wasn't very loud, it was enough for Huo Chengche to feel like he would be deaf for several days.
Xuan Di, who exuded a fierce aura, was amused by his little sister's cute and fierce little voice.
As for the brown-clad servant and the scholar Lin, they were all startled at the same time, realizing after hearing the little baby's voice that they had brought in a tiny baby!
After a brief pause, the brown-clad servant quickly put the moment of surprise out of his mind and didn't think much of it.
He looked at the empty courtyard with displeasure, but he glanced coldly at the two teenagers who had suddenly appeared and smiled disdainfully.
"Who are you people! Are you his accomplices? Didn't your parents tell you to mind your own business?!"
Huo Chengche listened to the brown-clad servant's words and sneered, "The world is vast, all land belongs to the king, and all people within the realm are his subjects. I don't know what in this world is beyond my control!"
"Wh-what..." The brown-clad servant's head buzzed upon hearing Huo Chengche's words, his eyes wide with astonishment, and he stood there dumbfounded.
