Sharp arrows came hurtling through the air, but the woman paid no attention to them, instead speaking faster.
"He is the murderer who wiped out the entire Jiang family!"
Even if it means death, he wanted to say the rest of his words, his voice sharp and filled with anger and hatred.
He finished speaking, yet remained unharmed. An invisible force altered his trajectory, flying past the woman at a distance of two feet.
The woman's shrill voice and the arrow that whizzed past her both happened in an instant, giving the child no time to react.
Juanjuan was so frightened that goosebumps rose all over her body, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Bai Yun'an, hidden in the shadows, narrowed his eyes and made a gesture to the older brother who had followed behind him.
Bai Yunqi, seeing Bai Yun'an making a gesture: ? ? ?
What?! I don't understand.
Bai Yun'an: ...
"Show yourself and take Juanjuan away."
Ultimately, Juanjuan is still young. Although she's not usually timid, this fright might leave her traumatized.
Although Bai Yun'an has never raised children or been a parent, he has been a child.
The white cloud nodded, indicating that it understood.
King Wen and several guards in black stood at the entrance of the courtyard. King Wen had a rather cold and stern expression, the kind that could definitely scare a child to tears.
Even if you did say it, what good would it do?
"How much trouble can a child cause?"
As King Wen spoke, he raised the hand holding the bow again, his gaze cold and indifferent, as if Juanjuan's life and death were of no concern to him.
Just an hour earlier, he had been gently comforting Juanjuan.
Even though I knew King Wen wasn't a good person, I was still shocked when I witnessed someone suddenly reveal malice.
Fortunately, Juanjuan remembered that her brothers were by her side. She clenched her fists and quietly cheered herself up.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
You need to learn to calm down.
The next second, Juanjuan felt like she was flying.
Suddenly, with a "whoosh," Curly successfully took off: ? ? ?
"Don't be afraid, little one. I am your elder brother's master, and I have come to save you."
A kind, weathered voice rang in Juanjuan's ears.
Juanjuan: ...
If he hadn't known that there was no such master, he would have been fooled by his older brother.
After learning this secret, and seeing her eldest brother's current behavior, she once again deeply experienced the kind of exhilaration that her third brother often talked about.
"If King Wen wants to harm me, what about my mother?"
Once Juanjuan felt at ease, she thought of her mother.
"Don't worry, your mother is fine."
"What about the lady who was standing next to me just now?"
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Juanjuan nodded, then asked, "That's good. Where are we going?"
"Go home."

King Wen looked at the empty courtyard and gripped the bow in his hand tightly.
Just now, before he could even shoot his arrow, a dark shadow flashed by and snatched away the child and the woman imprisoned in Youwen Courtyard.
"Go find them! I want to see who dares to act so presumptuously in the royal palace!"
King Wen exhaled: "How did that child get into Youwen Academy!"
The woman had been locked up here for a long time without incident, but just a few days after Juanjuan arrived, something happened.
He couldn't believe that a young girl could have entered Youwen Academy by herself without anyone's help, given how high the walls were.
The maid who was looking after Juanjuan stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"The young lady needed to change her clothes, and I stood guard at the door but didn't see anything unusual."
"However, before this, I heard Lady Yun mention Youwen Academy to the young girl."
