The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Xiao Yuxi stared blankly at the woman in the sedan chair, forgetting to look away for a moment.

The woman sat quietly in the sedan chair, her white hair cascading down like a waterfall, her eyelashes long and thick like raven feathers, and her eyebrows a pure, snow-white color. Her skin was so pale it was almost transparent, as if devoid of blood, yet it exuded a captivating, almost sickly beauty.

She gently raised her hand, resting her head on a soft cushion, gazing at Xiao Yuxi from a distance.

Xiao Yuxi suddenly felt a strong urge to get closer and take a closer look at this older sister.

When she finally came to her senses, she found that the woman had already gone far away, leaving only her back view as she walked further and further away.

After everyone stood up, Lady Yun quickly grabbed the arm of an old woman next to her and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, who was that young lady just now?"

This old woman was clearly not as kind and approachable as the old man they had met before. She just stared at them coldly, her gaze sweeping over herself, Xie Yaochuan, and the masked little Yu Xi in his arms, before finally settling on the little Yu Xi's mask.

His eyes were so sharp they seemed to pierce through the mask, revealing Xiao Yuxi's true face hidden behind it.

Seeing this, Xie Yaochuan frowned slightly. Just as he was about to turn around and ask someone else, the old woman slowly spoke up, "She is the high priestess of Peiji City. She has come here to preside over the sacrifice to the mountain god."

"You came this time? Wasn't she here before?"

The mother-in-law ignored her words, slowly turned around, and walked away with her cane.

Yun Niangzi didn't take it too seriously after being rebuffed, and asked several other people one by one.

Most people only said she was a priestess, but refused to answer anything beyond that.

"You want to know who I am?"

A clear, crisp female voice rang out from behind.

Xie Yaochuan suddenly turned around and looked at the woman wearing a black hood in front of him.

It was completely silent; he didn't hear a single sound.

Xiao Yuxi looked at the few strands of white hair hidden under the hood and said, "It's that pretty lady sitting in the chair."

The hooded woman made a lotus-shaped gesture and curtsied to Xiao Yuxi, saying, "Thank you for your praise, Lan Ke."

"Lan Ke? What does that mean?" Xie Yaochuan looked at her with some confusion.

This girl's behavior is all very strange.

The hooded woman simply watched Xiao Yuxi quietly, ignoring the words of the other unrelated people.

Xiao Yuxi tentatively reached out her hand.

The woman calmly stepped forward and pressed her face against Xiao Yuxi's hand.

It stayed there obediently, without moving.

Xiao Yuxi wanted to take off her hood.

The woman only pulled her hair back a little, revealing a few strands of her white hair, and looked at Xiao Yuxi gently, "You can't take it all off, it will cause a commotion."

Xiao Yuxi silently withdrew her hand.

As she watched her leave, the woman chuckled and took a step back.

“I can’t be gone for too long. You take Lan…” The woman paused, then changed her words, “…take her away…”

Before he could finish speaking, as if sensing something, he put his hood back on and disappeared instantly.

Immediately afterwards, they went door-to-door on the street asking questions, shouting in a rough voice.

They were already in the alley when they were stopped in an instant.

Several men dressed in official robes, exuding a menacing aura, blocked their path. The leader among them held a scroll and slowly unfurled it.

Xiao Yuxi, filled with curiosity, couldn't help but peek out and was surprised to find that the portrait depicted her brother Xiao Xian!

"Take off your masks!" the leader shouted coldly.

They came here without doing anything and naturally did not want to clash with the local officials, so they obediently raised their hands and removed the masks from the two children's faces.

The leader only glanced briefly at Xiao Yuxi before focusing intently on comparing her face to Mu Yunchen's. After careful examination and confirming that the two were not the same person, he pointed sternly at the portrait and said, "This person stole the Princess's treasure. If you happen to encounter him, remember to immediately report him to the authorities. Understand?"

Stealing the treasure?

Xie Yaochuan stared at the boy in the portrait. Although he could recognize some familiar faces since he woke up from his coma and regained his memories of his past life, he had no recollection of this child.

Seeing that they nodded in acknowledgment, the group swaggered away again, continuing to ask for clues from house to house.

Mu Yunchen naturally recognized the person in the portrait. Xiao Xian had said he had something to do and needed to go back, so how did he end up here? And why was he drawn on a wanted poster?

Is he from here?

Or did you come here specifically to steal something?

Xiao Yuxi hugged Xie Yaochuan's neck and whispered, "The person in that portrait is Brother Xiao Xian."

Xie Yaochuan raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Xian?

He had heard of him in his past life memories.

He is Yu Xi's steward, and almost everything, big or small, goes through his hands. He manages almost all the shops in Yue Kingdom.

In her previous life, Yu Xi controlled the largest economic artery of the Yue Kingdom, partly because of this person.

This person is frighteningly intelligent.

But why would someone come to this place to steal a secret treasure?

How old is he now?

The person in that picture looks to be only seven or eight years old, right?

It's impressive that he managed to steal something and escape from so many people!

-

Xiao Xian's body swayed uncontrollably as he struggled to take each step forward, each step appearing extremely difficult. The short dozen or so steps seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Finally, his legs gave way, and he collapsed straight onto a pile of chaotic objects.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and he struggled to open his heavy eyelids. Blood gushed out from between his fingers, which were clutching his chest, a horrifying sight.

He hung his head helplessly, leaning against the cold wall, a sharp pain shooting through his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Just then, a person wearing a black hood appeared in front of him without warning.

The person stretched out a pair of fair, snow-white hands, gently pinched a pill, and without hesitation stuffed it into Xiao Xian's open mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm current that quickly flowed to his limbs and bones. Xiao Xian immediately felt his breathing become much easier, and his previously pale face regained some color.

He took a deep breath, struggled to sit up, and looked up at the woman in front of him.

The woman removed her hood, revealing a head full of silver hair that cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, creating a striking contrast with her cool and aloof face, giving her an otherworldly air.
