Life went on like this, neither salty nor bland. Ning Shaoqing still had three candied haws for each meal three times a day.

Bai Xiaoxiao was very successful in the Jinyiwei. Sometimes he would go out of the city to arrest people and would be gone for several days. When he came back, he would always bring all kinds of new and interesting toys to him and Hua Nian, which made Hua Nian very happy.

Ning Shaoqing didn't have any special feelings. He had been in the martial arts world for many years and had seen all kinds of new things, but since she meant well, he accepted it.

That day, Bai Xiaoxiao came back with injuries all over his body, saying that he had left the city to hunt down a more powerful criminal. He was so brave and invincible that more than a dozen of them failed to catch him.

"I will be going out of town with the deputy officer to hunt down the criminal again soon. This time I may be gone for several days, so I won't bring you any candied haws."

Ning Shaoqing was stunned for a moment: "You came back just to tell me this?"

Bai Xiaoxiao said as if it was a matter of course: "Yes, since I live in your house, I have to explain where I'm going. In case I can't come back, you guys will know."

She was talking about giving instructions, not worrying them.

So no one had ever worried about her before?

"Sister, are you in danger?" Liu Huanian grabbed her hand.

Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly applied the medicine and prepared to leave: "Yes."

"Then don't go. Our family is not short of money anyway. I will support you in the future. You don't have to be a Jinyiwei anymore." Liu Huanian hit her with the card to prevent her from leaving.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to comfort her or comfort herself.

"It does matter. I'm very worried about you." Liu Huanian was indeed a little scared.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "You...will worry about me"

"Of course I will. You're my sister, so I'll naturally worry about you." Liu Huanian said, pointing at Ning Shaoqing: "My brother will worry about you too, right, brother?"

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Ning Shaoqing, and Ning Shaoqing also looked at her: "If you want to go, go ahead."

"Brother..." Liu Huanian didn't understand.

Ning Shaoqing went to pull her over and said to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Be careful, we will wait for you to come back."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him in astonishment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

Liu Huanian still didn't understand. Why would they go if they knew it was dangerous?

Ning Shaoqing told her: "She became a Jinyiwei not because she was short of money, but because she had a chivalrous heart to punish evil and promote good. As her friends, we should support her."

Liu Huanian understood. This was what her brother had told her before: in one’s life, there are always things more important than life.

Her father is more important than her mother, her grandfather is more important than Dayu, and her sister Xiaoxiao is more important than chivalry.

"Then brother, what do you think is more important than life?" Liu Huanian stared at him with wide eyes, his curiosity and desire for gossip overflowing.

Ning Shaoqing flicked her forehead gently: "Are you a curious baby? You ask a hundred thousand questions a day?"

Liu Huanian covered his forehead with his hands, looking resentful.

She felt that her brother had changed and started to have little secrets that he didn't tell her.

Ning Shaoqing supported Bai Xiaoxiao verbally, but was afraid that she would go out. As soon as she left the city, he followed her.

The Jinyiwei were very efficient in their work. A group of them rode their horses and rushed out of the city.

As soon as they arrived outside the city, the soldiers split into three groups and headed in the direction where the prisoners were escaping, forming a three-sided encirclement, forcing the prisoners to walk in the direction they had designated.

Soon, the prisoner was blocked in the middle by the Jinyiwei who came together in three groups, leaving him with no way to escape.

The prisoner had no way to retreat, so he became even more ferocious and beat them up. The Jinyiwei locked him with iron chains on all sides, but still couldn't catch him, and he broke free in two moves.

He tore a hole in the sword and saw that he was about to escape again. Bai Xiaoxiao rushed over without hesitation and blocked him with his sword.

The prisoner kicked at him, and Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively blocked it with his knife, but was knocked flying.

Ning Shaoqing had been standing on the tree and watching. When he saw her flying out, he instantly fell down, held her up and stabilized her body.

The prisoner didn't even give them a chance to react, and rushed towards them again, stabbing Ning Shaoqing with a knife.

Bai Xiaoxiao pushed him away and took the knife herself.

Ning Shaoqing frowned and said, "Sister, with his speed, he can't even touch the corner of my clothes. There's no need for you to push me."

Seeing that the knife was about to penetrate Bai Xiaoxiao's body, Ning Shaoqing reached out and grabbed her collar, jumped up directly, and easily dodged it.

The prisoner missed the target and, shocked by Ning Shaoqing's speed, he quickly took advantage of the opportunity and ran away.

The Jinyiwei immediately chased after him, but just as he started, the prisoner was kicked back and fell heavily to the ground.

When they looked over, they found that it was the sect's leader Xingmu, who happened to be passing by and offered help.

When the prisoner saw that it was Xingmu, he was so scared that he stood up and tried to run, but was kicked back by Ning Shaoqing who fell from a high altitude.

The Jinyiwei rushed over immediately and pinned him to the ground, making him unable to move.

Xingmu walked over slowly and glanced at Ning Shaoqing: "It's been many years since we last met, and you're still so lame."

Ning Shaoqing was too lazy to pay attention to him: "You are awesome, why didn't you come just now?"

After saying that, he looked at Bai Xiaoxiao again and said, "Let's go."

Then the figure disappeared into the woods. Bai Xiaoxiao watched for a long time with a bright smile on her face.

"Brother Ning just saved me?" She muttered to herself in disbelief.

Xingmu heard everything and was speechless. It was clearly me who saved all of you, but you are selectively blind.

But he didn't say anything, just got on his horse and left.

This little girl Liu Huanian is just like her mother, who orders people around. She tried every means to get him to go out of the city to help. I thought she was such a powerful character, but I didn't expect her to be so vulnerable.

It was unnecessary for him to make such a trip.

Bai Xiaoxiao and her team caught the criminal. Because Bai Xiaoxiao performed outstandingly, she was promoted to a higher rank, which made her very happy.

I bought a lot of delicious food, of course, the candied haws were a must.

Now Ning Shaoqing wants to vomit when he sees the candied haws. He really can't eat the heroine. Let's discuss it. Can you change to something else? Candied people are also fine.

"Sister, you seem very happy today." Thanks to her brother, Liu Huanian has someone to feed her every day.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile and told Hua Nian that she had been praised by the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and had been promoted.

She didn't really care about the rank, she just felt that this was the greatest recognition for her, and she didn't bring shame to Brother Ning.

Liu Huanian had just come to eat when she heard her grandmother's voice: "Huanian, you just had a meal, you are not allowed to eat anymore, kid, eating too much will cause indigestion."

Liu Huanian's face instantly turned into a mask of pain: "Grandma, when can I eat?"

"tomorrow."

"Won't there be food tomorrow?" Liu Huanian pouted. Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there.

"Then wait for tomorrow's tomorrow."

Liu Huanian: ...

Just tell them directly that they are not allowed to eat it.

Although her face was downcast, she still put down the food in her hand.

She had promised her mother and father that she would listen to her grandmother, and that one should not go back on one's word.

Nangong Xingyu saw that she was unhappy, so he waited until her grandmother left and secretly stuffed a bag of chestnuts into her hand: “Huanian, eat this.”

Liu Huanian's eyes lit up, but he remembered what he promised his grandmother: "But... I promised grandma not to eat it."

"You promised grandma not to eat what Sister Xiaoxiao brought back, but you didn't promise her not to eat what I brought back."

Liu Huanian: ...

Bai Xiaoxiao: ...

Ning Shaoqing: ...

Tsk, he even knows how to replace one thing with another. This brat is getting more and more cunning.
