Xie Xihe slowly stood up and after entering the hall, he looked at the three Xie family members for the first time.
The gentleness he showed towards Huo Zhenchuan and the others disappeared, and his eyes were full of carefreeness. He said, "When did I ever say I would go back to your clan with you?"
Previously, she had always been facing them from the side or from the back. It was not until this moment that the three of them saw her face clearly and were stunned.
She had skin as white as porcelain jade, thin eyebrows, bright eyes, a delicate nose and red lips. Her long, slightly curly hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and there was a small tuft of hair on top of her head that had not been groomed yet.
She looked the most unkempt and casual, yet still breathtakingly beautiful.
The morning sunlight fell from the dome that had removed the obstruction, and sprinkled on her body, coating her with a layer of golden glow, reflecting her already clean and transparent glass-colored pupils like the finest cat's eye. As her eyebrows moved, it seemed like light and shadow were floating, flickering and interweaving.
Xie Lingyun was the first to come back to her senses. Her grip on the ancient lamp tightened unconsciously as she slowly said, "Why don't you come back with us?"
Xie Xihe said calmly: "Do you need a reason?"
Xie Hengyuan also reacted, his brows furrowed fiercely, "Of course there's no need to ask why! Your last name is Xie, and you're a descendant of the ancient martial arts Xie clan. It's only natural for you to follow us back to our clan!"
"Oh." Xie Xihe raised his eyes casually, "I just don't want to."
Xie Hengyuan almost laughed out of anger, and the words "Who do you think you are? You just say no, right?" were on the tip of his tongue, but Xie Lingyun stopped him with a look.
Xie Lingyun glanced at the three members of the Huo family and Xie Xihe, vaguely sensing something. She pondered for a moment, then slowed down her tone. She smiled and said, "Master Huo is only Sister Xihe's uncle, yet you rushed over to save him without knowing the truth. It seems that Sister Xihe is also a person of strong character."
"Since even my uncle is so concerned about it, what about my biological grandfather?"
"Can you just bear to ignore it?
Xie Hengyuan immediately understood what Xie Lingyun meant by this. His eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed pretentiously, "Yes, niece Xihe, your grandfather is old and in poor health. He has been looking worse and worse over the past few days. The herbalists in the clan have said that the head of the family may not have much time left."
"He just wanted to see you, his only granddaughter, before he left, so he specially sent us out to pick you up. Don't you even want to help him realize this small wish?"
"Bullshit!"
Huo Zhenchuan watched the two men arguing with each other about trying to kidnap his niece's granddaughter, and he became furious and yelled back without thinking.
He quickly looked at Xie Xihe and said, "Xi'er, don't believe their lies. If your grandfather or father wanted to see you, they would come to you in person and take you back openly. They would never send a few unwilling people to pick you up. They definitely have bad intentions!"
He quickly pointed to the wound on his chest and said, "Look at your uncle. He started fighting over a disagreement. If they really wanted to take you back to the tribe, how could they have such an attitude?"
Xie Xihe was amused by his expression of "My niece is very innocent, she is about to be deceived, no, I must stop it."
I couldn't help but purse my lips and smile: "I didn't believe it."
Oh, I didn’t believe it.
It’s okay if you don’t believe it, it’s okay if you don’t believe it.
Huo Zhenchuan felt relieved.
Seeing that Xie Xihe remained unmoved, even Xie Lingyun couldn't help but frown and reminded her, "Sister Xihe, do you know where the Xie clan I'm talking about is?"
She emphasized her tone and said, "The Xie family is a more powerful family than the Huo family, and ancient warriors are admired and respected by everyone in the outside world. If you return with us, you will be the most distinguished young lady of the Xie family and a high-ranking ancient warrior. Are you sure you want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Xie Xihe: "Do you want this opportunity?"
Xie Lingyun: “…”
God damn it, give it to her or not!
Xie Lingyun was so upset that she was speechless.
Knowing that persuasion alone would not work, he took a step back and looked at Xie Hengyuan and Xie Jilin at the same time.
The two of them understood and leaned forward quietly.
Why bother talking so much? Can't you just take the person down by surprise?
By then, the three members of the Huo family will be tied up and will not dare to act rashly. They can just take the person away, and who can do anything to them?
Xie Lingyun took a deep breath, smiled again and said, "Okay, since Sister Xihe doesn't trust us, we won't force it. When I get back, I will definitely tell the head of the family and the young master what my sister means, and ask them to come and pick her up personally."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Hengyuan and the other two and said with a smile, "It's been a few days since we left. We should go back."
After he finished speaking, he walked out first.
Xie Hengyuan glanced at Xie Xihe and the Huo family members with a dark face, then turned around.
But in the next moment, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, turned around and pounced towards Xie Xihe.
Xie Jilin followed with a dark face.
The two men sandwiched Xie Xihe on the left and right, and the ancient martial arts power surged around them, shocking Huo Yunze, Huo Xingyi and others who reacted first to the attack away.
All the guards of the Xie family rushed forward at the same time and blocked all the guards of the Huo family who came forward to rescue them.
Both hands simultaneously reached out to grab Xie Xihe's shoulders, and it looked like they were about to succeed...
"Xi'er!"
"Xihe!"
"younger sister!"
The three members of the Huo family exclaimed at the same time. Except for Mr. Huo who was unable to move, the other two rushed forward again.
At the same time, more Huo family guards, both visible and covert, appeared in various places in the hall, rapidly shrinking the encirclement and forming an impenetrable human wall in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a slender figure appeared silently and stood in front of Xie Xihe. With a wave of his hand, he easily swept Xie Hengyuan and the other man away.
Even Xie Lingyun, who was farther away, was not spared.
After three consecutive collisions, the three of them fell onto the extremely hard ground one after another.
Sheng Shijing stood in front of Xie Xihe in a protective manner, his cold brows and eyes frosted with frost: "You're looking for death."
The two words, neither light nor heavy, seemed to carry a tremendous pressure, surging down with an incomparably powerful pressure, and hit Xie Lingyun and the other two hard.
Phew!
Phew!
Phew!
Including the strongest Xie Hengyuan, the three of them suddenly spat out blood at the same time, and the aura around them weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xie Lingyun and Xie Jilin turned pale and didn't even have the strength to speak.
The three of them looked up in disbelief, but the moment they saw the man's face not far away, their pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant!
Prince Heng!
How come he is here?!
