The sound of the killing order was like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly piercing the cloak of silence in the air.
In an instant, the sounds of fighting outside the teahouse came one after another.
At the same time, the doors and windows of the entire teahouse that were originally open were closed in an instant, blocking out the light and also blocking the men in black and vendors who wanted to rush into the teahouse.
The teahouse owner seemed to think the light in the lobby was too dim. He finally put down the book in his hand and slowly uttered two words, "Wait a minute."
At this moment, everyone in the hall... was in a tense confrontation...
The inside and outside of the teahouse were separated into two worlds. At this moment, Pei Yan's side had the advantage in terms of strength and number of people in the lobby.
But when the short black-clad man's sneak attack on Song Huan failed, the tall black-clad man holding the heroine of the book hostage immediately put a knife to Cui Yuning's neck and sneered, "It seems we miscalculated. Marquis Pei doesn't care about the life of this young lady from the Cui family at all."
As he spoke, he lightly scratched Cui Yuning's neck with a thin knife, and blood oozed out of his skin.
Cui Yuning cried out in pain and struggled to wake up from his coma.
But her eyes were calm, neither asking for help nor begging for mercy.
Hearing the voice, Song Huan went to look at the man in black, but met the eyes of the heroine in the book, and his mood instantly became messy.
——"As if she wasn't the one who was almost assaulted, her eyes were calm as she allowed the bloodthirsty man in front of her to look at her.
Pei Yan, however, saw the fear hidden beneath her calm exterior and couldn't help but become interested. He curled his lips and told Pei Shen, 'Bring her to my tent.'
In the book, Pei Yan was attracted by her eyes when he and Cui Yuning met for the first time.
Although the scene has changed, the heroine's eyes are no different from what is described in the book.
Song Huan looked at the heroine in the book carefully for a moment, wanting to see if there was fear hidden in her eyes at this moment, but... it was too far away and he couldn't see clearly.
"Wait."
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard Pei Yan's voice stopping the man in black.
Song Huan turned to look at Pei Yan, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but loosen his hand that was holding his chest... and stepped back.
His arms suddenly felt empty, and Pei Yan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He put his big hands around Song Huan's waist, and with a little force, he held her in his arms again.
Song Huan: “…”Okay.
Then she would see what this guy was trying to do.
Pei Yan then said, "Release the man, and I will spare your lives."
The man in black paused, the tip of the knife slightly away from Cui Yuning's neck, and suddenly chuckled twice, "Just now I felt that the behavior of this young couple was strange..."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted from Yuan Mengxian to Song Huan, "So it's the Marquis' wife."
"In just a few months, the Marquis' wife has managed to make Marquis Pei take such great pains to protect her. It seems our people were wrong in the beginning."
...Hmm? What do you mean? Sowing discord?
Song Huan frowned. Why were these men in black behaving so strangely?
But before she could figure it out, a sword suddenly pierced through the wooden window of the teahouse, and the wood shattered to the ground. The sound of fighting outside the teahouse suddenly poured into everyone's ears.
“Marquis Pei!” The man in black shouted, “Don’t let your wife and children suffer any harm. Hand over the Pei family army’s military token, and the women in the hall today may be able to leave alive!”
"Heh." Pei Yan sneered, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Wishful thinking."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shen and Pei Chen immediately attacked the man in black who was holding Cui Yuning hostage. The other two men in black wanted to help, but they saw that Qin Shi and Jin Liu had approached them at some point, and they also attacked at the same time as Pei Shen and Pei Chen drew their swords.
The man in black was caught off guard by the attack and had to use his strength to block it.
At this time, several doors and windows were poked with holes.
Outside the teahouse, half of Pei's army was killed.
Pei Yan's thin lips curved into a straight line, and he protected Song Huan and retreated to a relatively safe place.
Song Huan's mind flashed through the names of the dead. The electronic sound of the system's equalization and the faint smell of blood in the air made her increasingly irritable. She even had an inexplicable urge to push Pei Yan away and tell him to get out...
But the next moment, Song Huan suddenly realized that something was wrong with his idea.
Even if Pei Yan and Cui Yuning really had something going on, she wouldn't make such an irrational choice under such circumstances...
Song Huan felt a sudden pain in her head and her face turned pale instantly. She endured the pain and lowered her head, resting her head on Pei Yan's cold armor.
Pei Yan would probably think she was afraid of the fighting and killing before her...
Yuan Mengxian glanced lightly in Pei Yan's direction.
Could this be the case of a hero being tempted by a beautiful woman?
But he saw that the wife of Marquis Pei was just a pretty face. She was so timid about such a small thing, no better than the little girl doing forced labor... Yuan Mengxian opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, and opened and closed it again, and turned his gaze to Cui Yuning who had just been rescued by Pei Chen.
"Boss, don't you have a rule that if anyone dares to start a fight in the teahouse, you'll throw them out?"
"What? Could it be that just because the one causing trouble today is Lord Pei, you guys don't dare to intervene?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper finally walked out from behind the counter without any hurry. "The person who should be in charge has gone to the kitchen to get cakes and tea for the guests. When he comes back, I'll ask him if he should be in charge."
He said nonchalantly, "But if my own child wants to smash a store for fun, given our owner's temperament, he might even be happy..."
Your own children?
Yuan Mengxian stopped playing with the folding fan in his hand, and his intention to get involved was interrupted. Could it be that this teahouse had some connection with Pei Yan?
At this time, the real child Song Huan... was losing his temper with the broken system.
"Tell me! What did you do to me!"
"Why was I suddenly unable to move just now? Are you trying to kill me?"
System: "Dear, everything this system does is for your own good."
Song Huan was a little irritable at this moment, "So you are really the reason why I couldn't move just now? You must be kidding!"
"You're not letting me move for my own good? You're making me stand and get stabbed? I think you just want me to die, to use up my last chance at rebirth!"
System: "Dear, this system has detected that your emotions are very unstable. Please calm down as soon as possible."
Song Huan took a deep breath: "I can't calm down."
"If you wanted me dead, why did you go to all this trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just let me be a wandering ghost?"
System: "Dear, please don't be impulsive. This system is really for you..."
"Please wait..."
"The administrator has just loaded a document into the system that fully explains all your questions. Would you like to review it now?"
"..." Song Huan gritted his teeth, "Check it out. You'd better tell the truth."
System: "File is loading..."
"Ding—loading completed."
The system's electronic voice read out the words on the document word by word, and Song Huan's clenched teeth slowly softened.
So... that's how it is.
Her arrival caused "Song Huan", who was supposed to die in the book, to survive, but the small world in the book also has its own timeline.
Song Huan's existence seems like a mistake, and time will always try to correct her mistake.
"So, the reason I got hurt these few times wasn't because Pei Yan was a villain, but because I shouldn't have existed in the first place?"
System: "Yes, dear."
Song Huan was silent.
But at this moment, with a "bang", a big hole was cut in the door of the teahouse, and two men in black squeezed in.
The smell of blood in the air grew stronger. Pei Yan's brows darkened as he held Song Huan's shoulders and said, "Go to the back. Leave this to me."
Song Huan looked up at her. The man's face looked a little haggard, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at her.
"Okay." Song Huan clenched his fists and responded in a deep voice.
She couldn't help, but she couldn't be a hindrance. "I'm fine, don't worry."
The teahouse owner had come to the two of them without them noticing. Hearing what they said, he put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Why don't you come with me to the backyard to hide."
Song Huan looked at the shopkeeper in surprise. The red box above his head indicating his health countdown had disappeared. When had this change occurred?
"Please come this way." The shopkeeper glanced at Song Huan calmly and walked towards the kitchen, as if he thought Song Huan would definitely agree.
Song Huan called Jinyue and Jinle to his side and said, "Follow the shopkeeper closely."
She would indeed agree that no matter what caused the change in the shopkeeper's health, being alive was the most important thing.
But before leaving, Song Huan turned and looked at Pei Yan.
"What happened?" Pei Yan's peripheral vision was focused on the fighting in the hall. There were less than ten men in black clothes coming in, so Pei Chen and the others could still handle it.
Song Huan stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Pei Yan on the lips, "Wait for you to come find me."
Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared in his eyes.
After saying this, Song Huan turned and walked towards the kitchen.
At this moment, Yuan Mengxian was secretly following behind Jinle, holding Cui Yuning in his hand.
Song Huan pursed her lips and quickened her pace to catch up with him, "Mr. Yuan, why don't you go to the lobby to help?"
Yuan Mengxian looked at her when he heard the voice. The paleness on Mrs. Pei's face had not yet dissipated, but she came over to "chat and laugh" with him?
"I am timid and cannot stand any stimulation. It would be more appropriate for me to hide away with my wife and seek refuge." Yuan Mengxian retorted to Song Huan.
Song Huan: “…”
Young man, you won’t be liked by the heroine like this.
She glanced sideways at the heroine who was staring at the ground, and her eyes flashed.
From beginning to end, she never saw a red frame warning the heroine's health value...
Song Huan stretched out her hand. Should she get along well with the heroine?
……never mind.
Let's wait and see.
Song Huan quickened his pace and passed Yuan Mengxian: "In that case, then Master Yuan, please walk faster."
Yuan Mengxian: "..."
As expected, she and Pei Hou are husband and wife, and they are timid, cowardly and not kind.
The unkind Song Huan quickly disappeared from Yuan Mengxian's sight and followed the shopkeeper into the backyard of the teahouse.
But when she entered, she saw a very bizarre scene... These people were actually sitting around a table betting on who would win?
Song Huan: “…”
This plot isn't quite right.
Shouldn't you go out and try to mediate the fight?
"Don't worry, ma'am."
The waiter who was supposed to prepare tea for Yuan Mengxian was now spinning a dice. He said, "Now that you're here, we can get started."
As he spoke, he threw the dice into a small pot. At the same time, thick smoke suddenly came out of the teahouse in front.
