Ling Chuan didn't expect Lu Xi to react so strongly, and he didn't know what nerve he had touched, but the words had already been spoken, and admitting defeat would only make others look down on him, so he looked at Lu Xi without flinching and said, "Then tell me, what kind of identity do I need to be able to come to your house to propose marriage?"

Lu Xi was stunned by Ling Chuan's words. What kind of identity is required to propose marriage to me? No one in the world is qualified to marry an emperor.

Not to mention marrying her, even having a son-in-law enter the palace is not something that ordinary people are qualified to do.

"Don't dream about it. Even if you opened Yunfuji all over Dasheng, you still wouldn't be qualified."

Ling Chuan was stunned for a moment. Who is the background of Lu Xi's family? Isn't he so arrogant?

After being shocked, Ling Chuan reacted: "So, to marry you, I need not only money, but also power."

Lu Xi glanced at Ling Chuan from head to toe and said, "You are smart. Unless you have great power and wealth, don't even think about it."

"Hiss..." Ling Chuan took a breath and thought that this woman was being too arrogant.

Just as he was about to catch up and ask a few more questions, the female guard Chujiu who had been following closely suddenly shouted, "Who is spying here?"

The next moment, she was seen flying up the wall, holding a sword and fighting with a man in black.

Ling Chuan was dazzled by the movements of the two men. He didn't know what happened, but he saw the man in black thrown down from the wall and fell to the ground with a bang.

The noise made Ling Chuan's whole body numb. He thought that the man would be broken into pieces. But unexpectedly, the man in black jumped up from the ground with one flip, turned around and rushed towards Lu Xi.

This was beyond Chujiu's expectations, and he quickly shouted, "Your Majesty... be careful."

But at this moment, the man in black had already rushed up to the two of them, chopping them down on the head with a shining weapon in his hand.

At this moment, Ling Chuan's mind went blank, and he didn't know where he got the courage from. He just subconsciously pulled Lu Xi behind him.

He originally wanted to dodge, but he obviously underestimated the speed of the black-clothed man's knife. The knife was already in front of him, and he only had time to raise his arm across his head, and then he felt a piercing pain in his arm.

Just as the man in black was about to slash down with his knife, Lu Xi kicked Ling Chuan from under his armpit and hit the man in black's wrist, kicking the knife in his hand away. The man in black turned around and ran without wanting to fight, jumping towards the other side of the wall.

It happened that Cao Huanchun heard the noise and rushed over from the front hall. He ran into the man in black head-on. He raised his hand and slapped the man in black away. However, the man in black did not fall to the ground. Instead, he took advantage of the momentum to jump to the wall and then quickly climbed onto the top of the wall.

Cao Huanchun also flew up, but had lost sight of the opponent.

Ling Chuan was so stunned by what he saw that he didn't expect Lao Cao to have such skills.

At this moment, Chujiu had come to Lu Xi's side, holding a long sword to protect Lu Xi. Cao Huanchun also jumped off the wall and protected the other side, and asked anxiously: "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lu Xi replied calmly, then glanced at Ling Chuan with a strange look: "You don't know martial arts, why are you blocking me?"

After saying this, she turned to the female guard and said, "Hurry up and bandage him."

Only then did Ling Chuan notice the wound on his arm. The skin and flesh were turned inside out and blood was gushing out. The pain instantly came like a tide and beads of sweat broke out on his head.

If Lu Xi hadn't kicked him in time, Ling Chuan's arm would have been broken, but now it's okay, no bones or muscles were injured.

But when the female guard took out the medicine powder and sprinkled it on the wound, Ling Chuan still screamed in pain, his eyes turned black, and he fell backwards.

Lu Xi, who was standing next to him, held him and noticed that his face was pale and his lips were trembling. He felt inexplicably moved.

After the female guard finished bandaging Ling Chuan, he finally recovered a little. Lu Xi sighed and said, "Don't be stupid next time. A scholar like you who is so weak that he can't even tie a chicken, the other party can kill you with just one move."

Ling Chuan felt a little embarrassed, but still said stubbornly: "Then I can't watch my woman take risks."

Lu Xi was stunned, then glanced at Ling Chuan quietly.

Chujiu and Cao Huanchun had already wisely turned their heads and looked away.

Can't this kid avoid people when he flirts with His Majesty? Is this something we can watch?

Lu Xi personally helped Ling Chuan into the room, and helped him lean on the bed, then reminded him: "Rest well these few days, and don't let the wound come into contact with water, understand?"

It was the first time that Ling Chuan saw Lu Xi treating him so gently, so he nodded. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

"Well, was that man in black coming for you just now?" Ling Chuan broke the silence.

"should be."

"Isn't your family a noble family? How could someone dare to take advantage of you?"

"Maybe it was the tribe members who ordered it."

"Hiss... so cruel?"

Lu Xi glanced at Ling Chuan and said, "That person was just spying on me. If they really wanted to attack me, there would be more than one person."

Ling Chuan was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Now I kind of believe what you said before."

Lu Xi was stunned: "Which sentence?"

"You said that marrying you would require great power and wealth. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that your family's business is really huge. It's a life-and-death struggle."

"Then you should give up the idea of ​​proposing marriage now."

“No, I find it more challenging.”

Lu Xi snorted and said, "What a wild idea."

"This is not a fantasy, this is a dream. Only dreams can give you motivation."

Lu Xi stared at Ling Chuan for a long while, and finally said: "You are overestimating your own abilities. Some things are destined and cannot be changed by human power."

"If you're willing, wouldn't it be much easier if we go both ways?"

Lu Xi opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to respond for a moment. Chujiu's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, we have to go."

Lu Xi recovered and said to Ling Chuan, "I'm leaving first. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

Ling Chuan looked at Lu Xi as she left the room with resentment, thinking to himself that I had finally managed to be a hero and save the beauty, but I hadn't even had the chance to show my abilities.

Having said that, Ling Chuan felt that the boasting just now was a bit exaggerated. The situation at this woman's home was a bit complicated. There were fights and killings all the time, and her life might even be in danger.

And this woman's tone is too loud.

Powerful enough to rival a country? With these conditions, he must marry a princess.

However, according to Ling Chuan's understanding of this world, some aristocratic families may not regard the royal family as important. What's more, Lu Xi is the head of the family. Even if she wants to marry, her family members will not agree.

Of course, Ling Chuan doesn't care about this. After all, he is alone in this world, so it doesn't make much difference whether he marries into the family or not.
