Xiaodie, who was standing nearby, sensed the young lady's mood changes.
The excitement and curiosity on her face also faded, and was replaced by worry.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly, his eyes falling on Ruoxi and Xiaodie.
Naturally, their emotional changes could not escape his eyes.
Especially Ruoxi.
The bright eyes just now were covered by a layer of haze, replaced by a hint of worry.
Ye Chen had long felt that Ruoxi's return to Beijing this time might not be as simple as going home.
There must be some unknown secret hidden in it.
A hint of coldness flashed across the depths of Ye Chen's eyes.
If anyone really wanted to hurt Ruoxi or force her to do something she didn't want to do, he would never agree!
Even though he has lost all his cultivation and is still seriously injured.
But in this small Tianchen Continent, no one can touch the people he wants to protect!
"Nothing... nothing."
Ruoxi was startled by Ye Chen's gaze and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his sight.
She didn't want to bring her troubles to her brother.
"Miss!"
Seeing this, Xiaodie suddenly became anxious. She took a step forward and looked at Ruoxi anxiously.
In her opinion, Ye Chen has a mysterious origin, extraordinary skills, and can even use peerless martial arts at will.
Perhaps Ye Chen really has a way to solve the dilemma that the young lady is facing?
If you miss this opportunity, there may really be no hope!
Ye Chen is such a great man, how could he not see Ruoxi's little thoughts?
It's just that I'm afraid of getting myself into trouble.
He sighed in his heart, this silly girl.
"Tell me about it."
Ye Chen's voice sounded again, with an unquestionable firmness.
His eyes were fixed on Ruoxi.
"Call me brother."
"I will not let you suffer any injustice or harm."
This is more than just a promise.
It’s also a declaration!
Declaring his protection for Ruoxi!
Ruoxi suddenly raised her head and stared at Ye Chen in a daze.
The face in front of her was one she had never seen before, but at this moment it gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Those deep eyes, that determined look!
It was as if she had seen it countless times in a distant dream.
Every time when she was helpless, there would be such a look to bring her warmth.
It made her feel extremely at ease.
She looked at Ye Chen, her lips moved slightly, and tears blurred her vision unconsciously.
"elder brother……"
Ruoxi finally couldn't hold back any more, and tears rolled down her flawless white cheeks.
The grievances and helplessness that had been accumulated in my heart for many years poured out at this moment.
Ye Chen felt a pain in his heart. He took a step forward, raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from Ruoxi's cheeks.
Ruoxi threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, her cheek resting on his chest.
At this moment, she felt Ye Chen's chest was so warm, solid and strong.
After close contact, Ruoxi felt that Ye Chen's aura was so familiar.
"Silly girl, no matter what happens, your brother is always here."
"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."
Ye Chen's voice was low and powerful, instantly calming Ruoxi's panic.
"Um."
Ruoxi felt the warmth of Ye Chen's chest and nodded vigorously.
His eyes gradually regained clarity.
Xiaodie, who was standing aside, was already filled with righteous indignation and could no longer bear it!
"Grandpa, you must help my young lady!"
Xiaodie spoke angrily, her voice filled with obvious resentment.
She stepped forward and told him the whole story.
"My young lady is actually the ninth princess of the current Great Xia Kingdom!"
Ye Chen was not surprised at all about Ruoxi's identity.
He had already guessed the moment the old eunuch appeared.
Great Xia Kingdom.
After Ye Chen came to Tianchen Continent, he also had some understanding of the power structure of this world.
Daxia Kingdom is one of the most powerful countries on this continent.
The territory is vast, the army is strong, the treasury is full, and the people are prosperous.
It can be said to be the dominant force in Tianchen Continent.
But such a powerful country has an old enemy.
A nomadic people located to its north - the Wuhuan Kingdom.
Xiaodie continued to narrate the whole story indignantly.
The Wuhuan Kingdom, although its overall national strength was not as good as that of the Daxia Kingdom.
But they live on the grassland, everyone can ride and shoot, and the cavalry is especially powerful!
They are simply a group of wolves that can never be tamed!
Relying on the high mobility of their cavalry, they often secretly crossed the border and sneaked into the territory of Daxia to burn, kill and loot.
After robbing a small border town, they immediately retreated back into the depths of the grassland without waiting for the Daxia army to react.
So hateful!
Although Daxia was powerful, its army far outnumbered Wuhuan.
But the border between Daxia and Wuhuan was too long.
From east to west, it stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and it is impossible to set up defenses everywhere and guard it all the time!
Those Wuhuan cavalry were like flies on the grassland, impossible to guard against.
The people living on the border are suffering terribly.
The Emperor of Daxia was really at a loss as to what to do. For the safety of the people living in the border areas, he had to prevent them from being plundered by the Wuhuan barbarians.
The Emperor of Daxia had no choice but to send an envoy to negotiate with the Wuhuan Kingdom.
I hope to pay some price in exchange for peace on the border.
However, the Wuhuan Kingdom went too far and was sure that the Emperor of Daxia loved his people and was unwilling to easily start a large-scale national war.
