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

Xing'er?

When Xie Ansheng and Xie Tongchen saw Xie Xing, they were both startled.

Xing'er is indeed not dead. How did she end up in the Xie family?!

Xie Tongchen couldn't help but get up, wanting to go towards Xie Xing and Xie Yuze, but before he could move, he was stopped by the guards beside him with knives.

"Go any further, and you'll lose your life!" the guard said coldly.

Xie Tongchen stopped in his tracks, giving the guard a cold and ruthless look.

Having come from the battlefield, this terrifying gaze made the guard's previously arrogant expression soften somewhat.

But the knife in his hand was still blocking Xie Tongchen's way.

He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xie Yuze, and said jokingly, "What? The Xie family didn't care about this little girl before, but now they're going to protect her."

"It's really laughable."

"Your Xie family is doomed. You can barely save your own lives, let alone protect others?"

"Someone is coming."

Wen Yan waved his hand, and soon someone came over and took Xie Yuze into custody.

"Take her away."

Wen Yan casually pointed to Xie Xing.

"Don't touch her!"

Seeing that Wen Yan was about to take the person away, Xie Yuze instantly flew into a rage. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he used his inner strength to break free from the guards who were holding him. He pointed his sword at Wen Yan and pulled Xie Xing over to protect him behind him.

Seeing this, Xie Tongchen could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death.

He and Xie Ansheng kicked away the guards surrounding them and came to Xie Xing's side. The three of them firmly protected Xie Xing in the middle.

Xie Xing was surprised.

Has the Xie family father and son been replaced?

Couldn't they all hear her inner thoughts, know that she wasn't the real Xie Xing, and still protect her behind her back?

Xie Xing, who was being protected behind the three people, had a complicated expression on his face.

Knowing they could clearly hear her thoughts, Xie Xing thought to herself—

What's the point of them doing all this now?

The story is nearing its end. If Luo Hanfeng wins, the Xie family probably won't survive either.

However, unlike in the original story, will the Xie family in this life be able to avoid their fate of death?

After thinking these words to himself, Xie Xing glanced at the expressions of the three people.

Xie Ansheng's expression remained unchanged; he was unable to hear Xie Xing's voice.

However, Xie Tongchen and Xie Yuze had different expressions.

Xie Yuze pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with a piercing cold light.

He was determined to kill Luo Hanfeng to avenge the massacre of his entire family!

Seeing this, Xie Xing lowered his eyes.

Wen Yan looked at the Xie family father and son, who were clearly trying to protect the person, and laughed, "General Xie, now this general's mansion is surrounded by my people."

"Please, General, recognize the facts and hand over the person."

"otherwise--"

Wen Yan didn't say what came next, but the meaning was quite clear.

Half of the officials in the general's mansion are already dead.

Most of these deceased officials were rebels with ties to the South.

This was a scheme orchestrated by the Xie family and Jun Lanjin.

With the help of Luo Hanfeng and Wen Yan, these traitors will be eliminated.

This saves them the trouble of doing it themselves.

They're just playing along.

Xie Xing tugged at Xie Yuze's sleeve and said, "I'll go with them."

"No way!" Xie Yuze said without even thinking.

"I can't let you take any more risks!" Xie Yuze couldn't help but grab Xie Xing's wrist, gripping it tightly as if that was the only way to keep Xie Xing from leaving his sight.

Having learned of Xie Xing's first death, Xie Yuze could not bear the thought of her dying a second time.

If Xie Xing cannot be protected, then what is the point of Xie Yuze's rebirth?

He held Xie Xing tightly.

At worst, we can just abandon the plan.

With just a whistle, Xie's army, hidden in the shadows and lurking in the shadows, could immediately appear and capture Wen Yan.

But this also means alerting the enemy.

Xie Xing smiled slightly: "He won't hurt me."

"Third Brother." Xie Xing tiptoed to Xie Yuze's ear, her lips moving slightly but no sound came out.

She spoke aloud in her heart: "Aren't there some things you can't fully hear from my innermost thoughts?"

This sound made Xie Yuze and Xie Tongchen freeze at the same time.

The two of them turned around and looked at Xie Xing with shocked expressions.

she knows?

She actually knew?!

When exactly did you find out?

"So, Third Brother, let me go. He won't do anything to me."

Before, Xie Xing wouldn't have been sure, but now she was.

Whether it was Luo Hanfeng or Jun Lanjin, what they were curious about was her inner thoughts, and what resided in her body.

They won't let anything happen to her until they figure out when this thing came about.

Xie Xing didn't care about the opinions of these two people.

The thought that Jun Lanjin treated her so specially not because of his good character, but simply because of her unique qualities, still made Xie Xing feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She truly loves Jun Lanjin.

Although this affection wasn't enough for her to give up going home, it was still affection.

But now that she knows what Jun Lanjin really wants, she feels relieved.

Indeed, there is no reason for liking someone in this world.

In this way, Xie Xing will no longer have any reservations about increasing his favorability.

Since he can hear her thoughts, she can also use those thoughts to increase his favorability towards her.

Wen Yan's gaze fell on Xie Xing.

Compared to before, the expression on her face was much more resolute; she was no longer the flustered and timid little girl she once was.

Wen Yan never knew where Luo Hanfeng and Jun Lanjin's obsession with her came from.

Although she was indeed more interesting than those ladies from wealthy families.

But it's just a toy, nothing special.

He smiled gently and said, "Miss Xie is quite a clever person."

"However, unlike that person, I will not tolerate you in every way, so please be obedient, Miss. Otherwise, you don't want your brother and father to get into trouble, do you?"

Xie Xing said, "Since I have already died, I have no connection with the Xie family whatsoever."

These words shocked Xie and his son.

“Xing’er…” Xie Ansheng’s lips trembled as he looked at Xie Xing’s retreating figure.

Xie Tongchen clenched his fists and pressed his lips tightly together.

Blood ties can never be ignored; she is their biological sister. How could they be completely unrelated?!

Xie Yuze is the one who is in the most pain.

Whether in his past life or this life, Xie Yuze has done things that went too far to Xie Xing.

Although they made amends afterward, it doesn't mean that the harm they caused Xie Xing didn't exist.

Xie Yuze felt a pang of pain in his heart.

His eyes were glistening with tears.

I comforted myself, telling myself it's okay, it's okay.

After everything is over, he will make up for everything he owes Xie Xing.
