After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Yuze used his lightness skill to run incredibly fast, almost leaving afterimages, and the assassins behind him couldn't catch up.

Xie Xing leaned on his shoulder, bouncing back and forth from the jostling.

She clutched Xie Yuze's clothes with her small hands, her face extremely pale. In her mind, she thought to the system, "Third Brother is really good at running!"

The system hadn't expected this either, since the plot focused most on the romance between Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng, and didn't give much attention to some of the supporting characters, so it didn't know that Xie Yuze's kung fu was actually quite good.

It couldn't help but lament: "It's a pity that your third brother hid his talents for so many years, and before he could achieve anything, he became crippled."

Run, run as much as you can, because you won't be able to run anymore.

The system made sarcastic and cynical remarks.

Upon hearing the inner voice, Xie Yuze almost stumbled.

His eyes were blazing with fury, and he wished he could grab the brat on his shoulder by the ear and ask her if she had any conscience at all.

They actually cursed him!

These two little devils.

He even led her on the run for so long.

Xie Xing listened to the system's words and suddenly felt a little sad.

Although Xie Yuze was quite bad and often bullied her in the mansion, making him an incompetent older brother, he didn't think of abandoning her in crucial moments.

He could have easily pretended not to see it and not saved her.

In this way, he would not have an annoying younger sister, and the general's mansion could return to its former peace.

But Xie Yuze did not do that.

The original plot was too cruel for Xie Yuze.

Xie Xing couldn't help but ask: "Is a crippled character an unavoidable part of the story?"

Xie Yuze paused for a moment.

The system thought for a moment and said: "[That probably won't work.]"

Xie Yuze snorted coldly, thinking that this brat had some conscience at least, as she still knew to ask.

Now that he knows the future, he will absolutely not let this happen again.

Xie Yuze's lightness skill was excellent; as he ran, there was no one chasing him anymore.

Only then did he put the person off his shoulder.

As soon as Xie Xing's feet touched the ground, he felt dizzy and his face looked extremely pale.

"vomit!"

She leaned against the tree trunk and started vomiting right there beside it.

Xie Yuze walked over and frowned at her: "What's wrong?"

Could he be injured?

The little girl raised her head, her long eyelashes still glistening with wet tears—the saline solution that had just come out when she vomited. She said in a muffled voice, "I feel terrible."

As she spoke, she leaned against the tree trunk and began to vomit again.

Xie Yuze snorted coldly, crossed his arms, leaned to the side and glanced at Xie Xing with disdain: "You're so delicate. I carried you all the way and you haven't even said I was uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xing looked up at him, her voice soft and gentle: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Yuzhe hadn't expected her to ask that. Meeting her concerned gaze, Xie Yuzhe looked away uncomfortably.

He reached up and touched his nose, his voice strained as he said, "How could I possibly feel uncomfortable?"

"No matter what, I came from the General's Mansion. Unlike you, who is not at all like a daughter of the General's Mansion and is so spoiled."

Xie Xing said "Oh," and then said, "I wasn't raised in the General's Mansion."

Xie Yuze was taken aback.

After Xie Xing finished speaking, he went to wash his hands by the river very naturally. The two of them were upstream of the river.

I don't know where the others went.

Xie Xing was extremely worried.

At this rate, when will she be able to find Xie Mingzhu and end this part of her story?

Xie Xing muttered to himself, completely unaware of the complicated expression on Xie Yuze's face behind him.

Xie Yuze felt he had said something he shouldn't have, and before he could even feel guilty, he heard the girl's inner thoughts.

She didn't seem to care at all about the fact that she wasn't raised in the General's Mansion; it was as if she were simply stating a fact.

But it was precisely this fact that left Xie Yuze speechless.

He wanted to say that if you weren't raised in the general's mansion, it's your bad luck, not everyone's fault.

But as soon as the thought crossed Xie Yuze's mind, he felt something was amiss.

He began to wonder how the Xie family treated Xie Xing after she returned.

Is this considered special treatment?

Not at all.

This girl has absolutely no sense of belonging to the General's Mansion.

Xie Yuze was still pondering when Xie Xing's exclamation suddenly came from the other side.

Xie Yuze was startled and looked over there.

Then they saw Xie Xing being choked by a man, and looking up, they saw that the man was none other than Jun Lanjin.

"Prince Jin?"

Jun Lanjin's mask had disappeared, his lips were deathly pale, and he was in a state of confusion. He managed to subdue someone who might endanger his life, relying solely on a sliver of intuition.

However, he still retained a sliver of consciousness, and upon hearing Xie Yuze's voice, he subconsciously looked up.

He recognized the man; he was Xie Xing's brother.

The person in his arms is—

Jun Lanjin looked down and saw that the little girl in his arms was frightened by him and had her eyes tightly closed. From his perspective, he could see that the little girl's long eyelashes were trembling.

Upon hearing Xie Yuze's voice, the little girl opened her eyes and looked up at him.

Jun Lanjin loosened his grip on her neck, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Xie Xing quickly grabbed him with both hands and caught him with his own body to prevent him from actually falling.

"Prince Jin?"

Xie Xing was stunned.

The person beneath him felt a chill on their skin, and Xie Xing's hand trembled when it touched his.

Xie Yuze leaned closer and said, "He looks like he's suffered some serious internal injuries."

"What should we do then?" Xie Xing looked up at Xie Yuze.

Xie Yuze spread his hands: "How would I know what to do? There's no doctor here."

Xie Xing: "..."

The person in his arms was emitting cold air, so cold that Xie Xing's fingertips, which were supporting him, were trembling.

She sat half-on the ground and couldn't help but tug at Xie Yuze's clothes: "Brother, please help me lift him up."

Although Xie Yuze was unwilling, he knew how important Jun Lanjin was to the Great Chu.

He stepped forward and helped Jun Lanjin up, but the moment his hand touched Jun Lanjin, he felt a chill.

"Why is it so cold?"

It's only early autumn, it shouldn't be this cold.

Xie Yuze's expression turned serious as he pulled open Jun Lanjin's clothes to take a look.

Xie Xingtong's eyes widened, and she leaned closer to take a look.

Xie Yuze pressed his hand against her face, giving her a disgruntled look: "What are you looking at?"

"Don't you know shame?"

Xie Xing touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

She's not someone who hasn't seen it before; she just wants to see it.

Xie Yuze forbids her to watch, but she will watch secretly.

While Xie Yuze was examining Jun Lanjin's chest, Xie Xing shifted his gaze slightly and also looked at Jun Lanjin's chest.

Jun Lanjin has a very good figure, with well-defined chest muscles and very fair skin, almost as fair as her hands.

The only flaw was the bright, dark purple handprint on his chest.

It is very conspicuous.

Xie Xing was immediately enraged.

She clapped her hands.

who!

Who beat her to it and left such a big handprint on her chest? She didn't even get to touch it.

Xie Yuze was startled by the noise she made and turned his gaze over: "What are you doing?"
