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

"The capital city..."

The old man, leaning on his cane, walked shakily to the table, stared at Xiao Xian lying on it, and a look of melancholy appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Yuxi stared intently at the wound on Xiao Xian's chest. When she saw that the blood had stopped flowing, she was overjoyed and her eyes widened, sparkling with a bright light.

She looked at the old man with great joy and said excitedly, "Brother Xiao Xian's bleeding has stopped!"

The old man's somewhat cloudy gaze slowly turned to the little girl, and when he saw her face after she took off her mask, he suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen in place.

After a long while, he chuckled softly, his tone carrying an indescribable sense of感慨, "Just as I thought..."

Xiao Yuxi noticed the old man's strange reaction, his face filled with confusion.

However, the old man didn't offer any further explanation. Instead, he silently removed the silver needles from Xiao Xian's body one by one. After completing these actions, he didn't do anything else. He simply picked up a cloak, tossed it lightly, and casually draped it over Xiao Xian.

Xiao Yuxi looked with heartache at her unconscious brother Xiao Xian, whose brows were slightly furrowed after the cloak had hit him. She carefully reached out, gently blew the cloak open, and then carefully covered Xiao Xian with it, afraid of disturbing his rest.

The old man stood quietly to the side, remaining silent for a long while before slowly asking in a low, hoarse voice, "Little girl, what's your name?"

His gaze was full of kindness and gentleness, as warm as a pool of spring water.

Little Yu Xi looked up at him and said in a childish voice, "Mu Yu Xi."

"Yu Xi." The old man nodded and sighed softly, "A good name. You may do as you please. Once this little brat wakes up, make him leave immediately. Don't let him do anything that would send him to his death again."

After saying that, the old man slowly left, leaning on his cane.

Xiao Yuxi glanced at the departing old man, then at her unconscious brother Xiao Xian beside her, and resolutely chose to stay.

On the contrary, Xie Yaochuan, who had barely spoken a few words since entering, quickly caught up with them.

"Sir, I would like to ask about the sacrificial ceremony."

The old man paused for a moment, turned to look at his earnest expression, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "This has nothing to do with the Moon Kingdom. You won't get what you want here by pursuing the truth so earnestly. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

Xie Yaochuan lowered his eyelashes slightly, and he believed it to some extent. He had already made up his mind to leave.

However, he still hesitated and asked, "Does the name 'Yu Xi' have any meaning?"

He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw the old man's meaningful expression when he heard the name.

The old man didn't want to talk about it, but seeing the boy's curious look and thinking that he seemed to be the girl's brother, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Have you heard of Yu Lanyu?"

"Yulan language?" He naturally knew that Yulan Kingdom used to use only their own language, while the languages ​​of other countries were commonly used.

However, with the fall of the Jade Lan Kingdom, no one used the Jade Lan language anymore.

"The meaning of 'Yu Xi' in Yu Lan Yu is..." The old man turned around and looked through the door and window at the little girl who was carefully poking Xiao Xian's face, his eyes full of tenderness.

“The treasures of the Jade Railing”.

-

Xiao Xian suddenly felt something gently touching his cheek, and this strange sensation instantly alerted him.

When I realized it was a tiny, soft finger, my wariness gradually dissipated, and an indescribable tenderness welled up inside me.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids and turned to look at his side.

Xiao Yuxi was staring at him anxiously. When she realized he had woken up, she couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, and then asked cautiously, "Brother Xiao Xian, are you still in pain?"

Xiao Xian followed her gaze and saw that the wound on his chest was extremely serious, with a huge gash extending from his heart, which looked shocking.

Xiao Yuxi knew that such injuries would be fatal to wild animals, let alone to the more vulnerable human.

Xiao Xian silently lowered his eyes, feeling the intense pain emanating from his body. This pain surged like a tidal wave, as if it would devour him completely.

If anyone else had suffered such a severe injury, they would probably have been in excruciating pain.

However, when he met Xiao Yuxi's bright eyes, which were full of concern and worry, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

Xiao Yuxi breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing his words, but the worry in her eyes did not completely disappear.

She ran to the basin of water next to her, stood on tiptoe, soaked the handkerchief, wrung it out tightly from both ends, and then hurriedly ran back to Xiao Xian's side, carefully wiping the bloodstains and dust off his face with the handkerchief.

Xiao Xian wanted to reach out and stop him, but at that moment he was powerless and didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.

How could we do such a thing to someone as lowly as him?

Xiao Xian suppressed the pain in his chest and spoke again, "Stop it, I..."

Xiao Yuxi smeared a wet handkerchief directly onto his mouth and earnestly wiped the blood from his lips.

Xiao Xian's words were instantly covered by her mouth.

Xiao Yuxi only wiped his face clean, but seeing how badly he was injured, she didn't dare to wipe his body clean as well.

And recalling what she had overheard earlier, Xiao Yuxi asked him in a low voice, "Did someone bleed you before, Brother Xiao Xian?"

As soon as she asked the question, she realized how stupid it was. Xiao Xian had already lost so much blood; he must have been bled dry.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian froze, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the innocent, oblivious face of the little girl before him, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him.

Time seemed to freeze as the two stared at each other in silence, an atmosphere thick with tension. Finally, after a long and heavy silence, Xiao Xian smiled slightly and asked in a relaxed tone, "Did someone say something?"

He never imagined his own people would betray him. They ruthlessly bound him, ignoring his struggles, and bled him dry day and night, all to verify a legendary secret—whether what they knew truly existed.

Moreover, this sacrificial ceremony also brought together these ordinary people.

A bunch of lunatics.

Xiao Yuxi thought for a moment, looking at her brother Xiao Xian who was about to die, and whispered, "I heard it from the Yanhou Mansion. They said they drained your blood."

Lord Yan...

These people truly bow down for profit...
