However, at this moment, a figure rushed over like lightning and steadily blocked Xie Xile's fatal blow.
Xie Qi protected Xie Luo firmly behind him. At this moment, Xie Qi's face was as cold as frost, and his cold eyes were fixed on Xie Xile.
Before this, Xie Qi had no idea why the fierce conflict had suddenly erupted between the two. But just the few words he had overheard were enough for him to roughly guess the reason.
Especially when he heard what Xie Luo mentioned, he felt that there might be an unknown secret hidden behind this matter.
Seeing this, Xie Xile narrowed his dark red eyes slightly, a sinister smile playing on his lips. He deliberately used a divisive tone to say to Xie Qi, "Son, do you really want to believe those lies he said? Don't forget, he has hated you as his brother for many years! Even as a father, I know that he often bullies you by taking advantage of his status. Today, I just want to teach this ignorant fellow a lesson for you."
However, facing the words of the person in front of him, Xie Qi remained unmoved like an iceberg. His cold eyes showed no sign of softening at all because of what the other person said.
Although Xie Qi knew that he had no chance of defeating Xie Xile head-on, he still responded without flinching, "Since he is my brother, it is natural for me to teach him a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qi turned around without hesitation and slowly helped the prone Xie Luo to his feet. He then fixed Xie Xile with a fierce and intimidating gaze and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to know what you're planning, but if you dare to stand in my way, you definitely don't want to know the consequences you'll have to bear."
After saying that, Xie Qi didn't stay any longer, but supported Xie Luo and walked steadily towards the door.
Seeing this, Xie Xile was furious. He let out a deafening roar: "Come back!" and tried to stop Xie Qi and the others from leaving.
However, when Xie Xile saw Xie Qi turning around and giving him a cold glance, he couldn't help but freeze in place for a moment.
He never expected that just after being stared at warningly by Xie Qi, a deep fear that came from his blood would surge up in his heart.
Xie Xile frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the two figures that had disappeared at the door. His determination to replace the candidates became more and more firm.
At this moment, Xie Qi and Xie Luo slowly walked out of the mysterious and eerie castle. The night sky was dotted with stars, but the moonlight was mostly obscured by dark clouds, making the surrounding environment appear particularly dark.
As Xie Qi walked forward, he looked at Xie Luo, who had been keeping his head down and silent since leaving the castle.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you walk by yourself?" His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of concern.
Xie Luo responded with a soft "hmm," so soft that it was barely audible. However, Xie Qi still keenly caught the subtle sound, so he loosened his grip on Xie Luo's arm.
Then he said, "You can go if you want. I'll give you a chance to explain before I get home."
The two walked slowly, one in front and one behind. The dim streetlights emitted a weak glow, barely illuminating the path beneath their feet. The light elongated their figures, casting them on the ground, swaying and changing shape as they moved.
However, time passed by, and Xie Qi still didn't hear any explanation from Xie Luo. Just as he was thinking about it in his heart, suddenly, a slight sob reached his ears.
He suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see Xie Luo standing there, crying with his head down.
At this moment, Xie Luo felt as if all the grievances that had been pent up in his heart for a long time had completely burst forth.
Just now, when danger came, Xie Qi protected him behind him without hesitation. The sense of security brought by that moment was unforgettable for him.
Because it has been so long since he felt the feeling of being protected so firmly by his brother.
When Mingming was a child, whenever he was severely scolded by his father, his brother would always stand up and stand in front of him like an indestructible fortress, protecting him tightly with his small body.
At that time, his brother seemed to be the guardian angel in his life, giving him endless care and protection.
However, everything changed after that incident. The brother who once cared for him so much suddenly disappeared from the world and completely ignored him.
He once thought that his life might have lost that precious support forever. But fate is always full of dramatic twists and turns.
Just now, when Xie Qibing stood up to protect him without hesitation, the feeling of being cared for by his brother in the past flooded back to him like a tide. At that moment, he deeply understood that his brother could not live his whole life in such a decadent state.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the tall figure not far away. His brother standing there was like an indestructible mountain, giving him a sense of reliability.
Those who once tried to harm my brother are probably no longer a threat to him. In this case, there is no need to hide the secrets and pain that have been buried deep in my heart any longer.
He could finally pour out all his grievances to his brother without reservation.
The more he recalled his past experiences, the more difficult it became for Xie Luo to suppress the grievances in his heart. So much so that when Xie Qi came over to ask about his condition, Xie Luo could no longer control his surging emotions and burst into tears.
