After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

"What would a child as young as you know about a good husband? Li'er, don't be afraid. Your older sister won't get married. I'll protect you from now on and won't let anyone bully you again."

Hearing Xue Li say in such a serious tone that it would affect her marriage, Xue Ruanruan felt both sorry for him and amused. This child was so sensible that it was heartbreaking.

Even at such a young age, she's already thinking of herself; she's still as warm-hearted and kind as she was in her past life.

But she was no longer the naive young lady from her previous life, protected by her family and knowing nothing about the world.

This time, let her protect her family and prevent them from suffering any more injustices.

Upon hearing Xue Ruanruan's words that she would not get married, Murong Xun's eyes flickered a few times. He then silently withdrew and quietly stood guard outside.

"Yes, Li'er believes in her older sister."

Although Xue Li usually appears very resolute, he is ultimately just a three-year-old child.

Only in front of Xue Ruanruan does he regain his childlike innocence and naivety.

Xue Ruanruan hugged Xue Li tightly as she slowly walked out of the latrine, stopping in her tracks when she saw Murong Xun quietly guarding outside.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to find Li'er's whereabouts. I will repay your kindness in the future."

The debt of being saved in a past life has not yet been repaid, and now a new debt has been incurred in this life.

Xue Ruanruan looked at Murong Xun's cold and thin profile, secretly planning to completely remove the Gu poison from his body as soon as possible.

"No need to be so polite. It's good that the young master is alright. It's getting late, so I'll carry him and take you back to the manor as soon as possible, so that the old lady and Princess Lingjun won't worry."

Murong Xun looked at the young master of the general's mansion, who had suffered external injuries, burying his head tightly in Xue Ruanruan's arms, and for some reason felt displeased.

How can a child this age be so inconsiderate?

After saying that, he ignored Xue Ruanruan's resistance and forcibly pulled Xue Li from her arms into his own.

Xue Ruanruan: ......

The man's firm embrace was a stark contrast to the softness he had just given her, leaving Xue Li somewhat bewildered, wondering how she had suddenly ended up in his arms.

She tried to struggle to get down, but when she met the man's cold and sharp eyes, her small body shrank back, and she obediently stayed in his arms, not daring to move.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Xue Ruanruan glanced at the dark sky and knew that she had been out for a long time, and her grandmother, mother and sister-in-law must be worried.

My second sister-in-law is waiting outside the academy; I need to get out as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

"Um"

Murong Xun didn't say anything more. Holding Xue Li, he lightly leaped onto the wall and disappeared from the academy in the blink of an eye.

Xue Ruanruan was worried about how to get out while carrying Li'er, but now that Murong Xun had taken her little brother out, things were much easier for her.

She had previously learned martial arts from her master in Medicine King Valley. She was intelligent and talented in martial arts, and her own martial arts skills were not bad.

Just as she was about to leap into the air, a black figure suddenly appeared on the high wall of the academy.

The figure leaped down from the courtyard wall with the grace of a dragonfly skimming the water, its movements nimble and agile, appearing in front of Xue Ruanruan in the blink of an eye.

As he landed, a powerful aura swept over us.

"Miss Xue, I apologize for any offense."

Murong Xun landed steadily beside Xue Ruanruan, and after speaking in a deep voice, he picked her up and flew towards the outside of the high courtyard wall.

The sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but open her eyes. Seeing that they had landed perfectly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big sister, you've finally arrived! Let's hurry back to the manor."

Xue Li looked at Murong Xun, who was holding her older sister in his arms, with a wary expression. She grabbed Murong Xun's sleeve and tried to pull him away, afraid that he would get entangled with her.
