The prince kissed her seven times in one night, and the abandoned woman was scared!

I'm afraid that at that time, my mother was already afraid that one day the thing she was worried about would happen.

Si Yanzhuo pulled Yun Suyue and said, "Don't worry, Ah Yue, we will fight back if the enemy comes. You have me."

As long as he is around, no one can hurt her!

"Of course, we should deal with future problems as they arise, and leave them to the future. This is just our speculation at the moment. But the eternal truth is that the strong prey on the weak, and all we have to do is make ourselves stronger and stronger.

Next, I will take the time to target you, me, and Qingxuan and the others at different levels of martial arts, and equip them with some elixirs to help them advance. I hope that one day, when an extraordinary enemy truly arrives, we will be able to resist."

Yun Suyue has never been a sentimental person. She responded to Si Yanzhuo with a smile and said that no matter how difficult the future is, she will walk side by side with Si Yanzhuo.

"Okay." Si Yanzhuo gently held her in his arms, and that was enough.

The two were being affectionate when someone knocked on the door.

Yun Suyue went to open the door, and Xi Che was standing outside. "Why are you wearing so little? Didn't Jiuli buy you some thick clothes?"

It was such a cold day, and the young man outside the door was only wearing a thin layer of clothes. He didn't say a word all the way, as if he had lost his soul. He sat in the front of the carriage and didn't say a word.

"My lord, it's not Jiuli's fault. Xi Che just came out of his room and had nothing to wear. Jiuli bought him several sets of thick clothes, and I came here to thank you, my lord."

Xi Che was a little shy and didn't dare to get too close to Yun Suyue, nor did he dare to look at Yun Suyue.

Yun Suyue smiled, "That's good. I told you Jiuli is very reliable. There is something Qingxuan should have told you. Now that you are free from slavery, what are your plans for the future?"

Let me explain, the reason I took you away from that small town was because I wanted you to leave that sad place. You are free now and can go wherever you want."

Xi Che suddenly looked up. The young man, who had been lonely for too long, was suddenly cared for by someone and felt overwhelmed with emotion. "Thank you... thank you for your kindness, Princess. Xi Che has no father, no mother, no sister, and nowhere to go. It was you, Princess, who saved my life."

If the princess doesn't mind, Xi Che will be her servant from now on."

The boy knelt down, as if he had faced reality after all these years of torture and would kneel down if he was too spineless.

"Get up! Have you ever heard the saying, 'A man's knees are worth gold?'" Yun Suyue pulled the man up, her tone a little cold.

Xi Che nodded, "I know, but where is equality in this world? There is only hierarchy."

Reality and hardships have worn down this young man. Yun Suyue does not blame him. Having not experienced his suffering, she has no right to criticize others.

She changed her tone and said, "Xi Che, I saved you not out of kindness, but because I didn't want to see a young man die in vain. Your life has just begun, and you still have a long way to go.

I know that you have not been treated as a human being these years and have lived a life worse than that of an animal. This is the result of the dynasty's failure in governance and the evil done by the Blue Empire, which killed your father, the previous governor, and reduced little you to slavery.

But do you still remember the joy your parents and sister felt when they called your name? Xiche is a very nice name. I think your family must have been very happy when you were born and had high hopes for you.

Che, which belongs to the water element in the Five Elements, symbolizes clarity and transparency, being upright and honest, and not forgetting one's original aspiration. Combined with your surname, Xi, the combination is really beautiful.

I think this is the meaning of your parents giving you this name, your parents are both learned scholars."

The young man's eyes had already turned red, and he looked at Yun Suyue with excitement but restraint. This princess really looked like his sister, both beautiful and true-hearted women.

Seeing Xi Che act like this, Yun Suyue knew she was right. "Cry if you want to. Don't believe the saying that men don't shed tears easily. Men are just ordinary people, made of flesh and blood, with the same joys, sorrows, anger, happiness, love, hate, and vengeance."

"Sister!" Xi Che finally couldn't help it and started crying while hugging Yun Suyue's arm.

The strange thing is that this time Si Yanzhuo watched the whole process and did not stop it.

"It's okay, it's all over." Yun Suyue patted Xi Che's back as if coaxing a baby. This guy actually came from a decent family. He was the son of a provincial governor. He just had a bad fate and his whole family was persecuted.

After the young man cried enough, he remembered that he was about to kneel again, "I'm sorry, Princess, Xi Che was rude."

Yun Suyue grabbed him again and said, "Alright, don't worry about those empty formalities. Although I was named a princess, I hate those empty formalities the most, and I don't care much about the status of a princess.

Since you called me sister the first time you saw me, you should call me that from now on."

"Really?" Xi Che looked cautiously at Si Yanzhuo behind Yun Suyue.

Yun Suyue blocked his view, "Why are you looking at him? You are mine, not the Seventh King's."

Si Yanzhuo behind him smiled helplessly.

Xi Che also smiled, a rare smile in the past few years. "Yes, pretty sister, can Xi Che follow me from now on?"

This time Si Yanzhuo couldn't stand it anymore. He walked over and put his arm around Yun Suyue's waist to declare his sovereignty. "Boy, if you want to follow my woman, your skill level must be above level eight. You can't do it!"

Xi Che's stubborn temper came to the fore. "I can do it! I definitely can do it! I'm a man, I will work hard, beautiful sister, I will definitely work hard!"

The little guy ran away with a burst of heroic spirit. He went to find Yu Di. He remembered everything he had taught Sister Jiuli during these days on the road, so he went to ask Yu Di to guide him together.

Xi Che knocked on the door directly and politely. Standing at the doorway, he politely asked the evildoer Yu Di, who was reclining on a chaise longue eating snacks, "Young Valley Master, do you want a qualified disciple?"

Yu Di didn't even blink: "It's so troublesome, I don't want it!"

Xi Che's expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask, "Young Valley Master, do you want a qualified and talented disciple?"

"Hey." Yu Di finally took the trouble to look at Xi Che. "You are persistent, but you don't want to!"

"..."

Xi Che thought for a moment, then pulled something out of his pocket and showed it to Yu Di. "Young Valley Master, do you want a disciple who can eat medicinal fruits from time to time?"

The next second, a breeze blew on Xi Che's face. Yu Di was already standing in front of him, and the fruit in his hand was gone. "Hahaha, this is the snake saliva fruit, what a treasure."

Xi Che asked again, "What about the Young Valley Master?"

Yu Di glanced at him and said, "Why don't you kowtow and become my disciple?"

"thump!"

"Master, please accept my disciple Xi Che's three bows. This second fruit is a gift to you as a disciple. Please accept it."

Xi Che kowtowed three times to Yu Di, holding up another fruit.

"Oh, you have a lot of hidden things. Stand up and talk. Where did they come from?" Yu Di glanced at Xi Che and felt that having a cheap apprentice was not bad. At least he could help him get benefits from Yun Suyue.

Don't think he doesn't know. When Jiuli was being trained, this kid was watching from the carriage. After all, teaching one is the same, so teaching two is also a good thing. The main thing is that this benefit is good.

Xi Che answered honestly, "Sister Jiuli gave it to me."

Yu Di opened his peach blossom eyes calmly, and sure enough!

Hahahaha, apprentice = welfare!

Worth it!

"No, wait a minute, who gave it to you?" Yu Di suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
