The courtyard was in a mess,
Some madams and young ladies were screaming as if they were about to be killed even though they were not injured. Some were crying as if their mothers had been killed. Fear could make everyone lose their rationality,
They were immersed in a terrible emotion and could not break free.
When Li Xiao shouted the words' Speech Spell ',
A person's voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard,
He said, "Stop!"
This voice was not loud,
It was far from shocking.
But it was loud and clear, so that everyone could hear it.
The instant those two words were spoken, practically everyone in the courtyard suddenly stopped what they were doing.
Everyone who saw the change at this moment felt an infinite sense of strange fear in their hearts.
The chaotic and noisy venue just now..,
Suddenly quieted down.
Everyone who was running and chasing just now..,
Froze in an instant.
The air seemed to have suddenly frozen, and no one could move even a little.
Between extreme movement and extreme stillness..,
In an instant at the beginning of the year, a perfect alternation was achieved.
The eyes of every man in black who was rushing towards Li Xiao just now were filled with surprise and fear. It was as if they were trapped by the sticky air,
They could not move at all.
It was as if... that person's words had the power to command others.
When he said to stop, everyone..,
Then, they really stopped.
At this moment..,
People could finally see..,
The young man who was mixed in the crowd, Xu Ting.
He pushed away the man in black in front of him, grabbed the man's belt, and tied him tightly.
At the moment when he stood up, he discovered that there was actually another person who was also able to move.
"Lord Chen?" Xu Ting looked at the man who was moving slowly but was indeed turning around and walking.
This man with strong willpower and an exceptionally strong sense of self was still slowly advancing under the restriction of his Speech Ability at this moment.
There were actually two people who could move in this courtyard.
One was Xu Ting, who used the Speech Spell, and the other was Lord Chen, who had strong willpower.
Chen Jue did not turn around in response to his voice. Instead, he turned around resolutely and hugged Li Xiao.
The little girl was motionless under the control of the Speech Spell. Chen Jue hugged her even tighter. Feeling her soft but warm body, his heart was finally filled again.
After hugging her for a few seconds, Chen Jue let go of Li Xiao. "I'll be right back," he said in an exceptionally gentle voice.
After Jue Chen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the black-robed men beside him. Those black-robed men originally looked like they were running towards them, but when they saw Lord Chen approaching, they wished they could escape.
Just like Xu Ting, he took the belts of the men in black and tied them up. Then, he tore off the men in black's clothes and stuffed their mouths.
To prevent them from committing suicide if they had poison pills in their teeth.
After a few breaths, Chen Jue was able to move more freely.
Xu Ting tied up the last man in black while watching Chen Jue return to Li Xiao and carry the little girl to him.
There were so many pairs of eyes around them. Lord Chen really did not care about what others said.
This man was too detached from the world.
But what about Li Xiao?
She was not Lord Chen. She probably did not have the courage of Lord Chen who did not care about what others said about her.
Did she care about how others looked at her and how others talked about her?
After stuffing a piece of torn cloth into the mouth of the last man in black, Xu Ting stood up. His body swayed, and he hurriedly supported himself on the table beside him.
Chen Jue helped Li Xiao sit on a chair at the side. Then, he turned his head and asked Xu Ting in a low voice, "Can you keep your body safe?"
This time, he did not vomit blood and faint. It seemed that his physical condition was much better.
Xu Ting glanced at Li Xiao. There were some emotions in his eyes that only he and Li Xiao understood. He pursed his lips and did not say anything. He only said, "Recently, I have been adjusting my body. When I use my ability, my body can bear it much better."
Xu Ting was such a person. He looked like a handsome young man, but he rarely smiled. He was always quiet and cautious. He was always gloomy and thoughtful.
When he was young, Xu Ting was always ridiculed for being frivolous because he liked to smile. This was probably the negative stimulation that such a face gave to a boy.
Since then, he rarely smiled.
With such a face, the life template that he pursued was a "gentleman" and a "pure man".
While the two of them were talking, the maids and servants in the other courtyards of the House of Chen had already rushed over.
Chen Jue hurriedly ordered them to help the madams and young ladies up. Those who had begun to recover their ability to move were helped to the back room to rest.
Those who were still unable to move were helped to sit on chairs to rest until they could move.
The manservants quickly carried the men in black to another courtyard of the Chen Manor and tied them to a pillar to watch over them.
Wang Yi and the other guards were the first to recover their ability to move. As soon as they recovered their ability to move, they immediately helped.
Wang Yi patted Xu Ting on the shoulder. After receiving a nod from Xu Ting indicating that he was fine, he directly went to another courtyard and ordered the servants to watch over the men in black. He also sent people to the Dali Monastery to prepare to send these men in black to the dungeon of the Dali Monastery for interrogation.
After Li Zhun and the others recovered, Chen Jue took Zhao Hu and the others to escort the men in black back to the Dali Monastery.
Li Xiao returned to her room. After bathing, she sat quietly in the courtyard. Wang Yi was left behind to guard her. If it were anyone else, Chen Jue would not be at ease.
Xu Ting was responsible for sending the noble ladies home.
Li Xiao's long hair was still tied into a ponytail. She sat in the courtyard and pursed her lips to drink tea.
She raised her head and looked at Wang Yi, who was standing by the tree and leaning against the trunk. She said, "Big Brother Wang, come and sit down."
Wang Yi glanced at her and then glanced around before sitting beside her.
"Are you well?
Are you injured? "Wang Yi asked with concern.
Li Xiao nodded. She looked at Wang Yi's fingers and poured him a cup of hot tea. "Big Brother Wang, have some tea."
Wang Yi nodded and sighed. "Why is there always such danger around you? I don't know why this time."
Li Xiao also sighed, but she had some guesses in her heart.
Perhaps … it had something to do with her brother's death.
Or perhaps, it had something to do with the reason why her brother killed Liu Tianping.
Otherwise … how could she, an orphan girl with no one to rely on, provoke a fatal disaster?
In particular, those who wanted to kill her were obviously not simple people. Everyone seemed to have been professionally trained.
They were very skilled.
Or … could it be because of Lord Chen?
But it was impossible … if it was really because of Lord Chen, why did they want to kill her?
"Does Xu Ting know that you will be in danger today?" Wang Yi gulped down the tea in the small teacup and then asked with concern.
Li Xiao nodded. "I told Big Brother Xu."
"You didn't tell me." Wang Yi sighed weakly.
Li Xiao was amused by his appearance and hurriedly poured Wang Yi another cup of tea. She looked at Wang Yi sweetly, her eyes full of the happiness of being cared for and cared for. "Thank you, Big Brother Wang."
"Big Brother Wang has a few broken fingers."
Wang Yi raised his left hand and showed it to Li Xiao. Then, he raised his chin. "But he's not a pushover."
"I know, Big Brother Wang is the martial arts champion!" Li Xiao's eyes were full of worship. If only she could fight like him.
Then, she could protect herself, protect her brother, protect … protect Lord Chen.
"You … you didn't tell Lord Chen, did you?" Wang Yi suddenly remembered what Lord Zhang had said.
Lord Zhang said that Lord Chen was taking care of Li Xiao like a weasel taking care of a lamb, a rabbit planting carrots … He was taking care of his own food reserves.
He pursed his lips and looked at Li Xiao's rosy little face. He had to admit that Lord Chen had taken good care of this little girl.
Li Xiao shook her head. "Lord Chen is determined to hold my coming-of-age ceremony for me. I don't want to dampen his spirits.
I don't want him to hold it because he's afraid that I'll get hurt. "
Wang Yi looked at Li Xiao's sincere expression and couldn't help but think to himself, 'Does this little girl know how Lord Chen feels about her?'
"Anyway, I've done a divination and the conclusion is that the danger will occur after the coming-of-age ceremony … so it won't affect anything.
Whatever Lord Chen does with all his heart won't be affected, "Li Xiao said seriously.
Wang Yi looked into the little girl's eyes. In her world, many things had become very simple.
It was as if there was only one thing that was important in today's incident, and that was Lord Chen's opinion.
She didn't seem to be worried about the safety of the other people in the courtyard.
Or perhaps she had already divined that nothing bad would happen to the others?
Or perhaps this was the reason why she looked for Xu Ting?
With Xu Ting's ability, she could protect the others from danger, and she didn't have to worry about anyone getting hurt in the chaos …
"Lord Chen might be angry." Wang Yi thought for a moment and decided to remind Li Xiao.
The little girl immediately tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why?"
No one got hurt today. She … she felt that she had done a good job.
"You told Xu Ting, but you didn't tell Lord Chen.
Lord Chen will definitely be angry. "
Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Besides, no matter what, Lord Chen must have been frightened when the incident broke out.
If you had told him in advance, he would have … "
Li Xiao lowered her head slightly. "Then Lord Chen wouldn't have held the Coming of Age Ceremony. He might feel regretful."
She sighed. She felt that Lord Chen wouldn't take the risk.
Especially when it came to her safety … He probably wouldn't.
However, in order to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony for her, Lord Chen had hired the Crown Princess and spent so much money to raise her status.
She didn't want to dampen Lord Chen's mood, and she also hoped that Lord Chen would be happy.
Did she … do something wrong?
She bit her lower lip, tilted her head, and asked Wang Yi in confusion, "The Coming of Age Ceremony went well. Lord Chen should be happy, right?"
Wang Yi thought for a moment. "Lord Chen probably held the Coming of Age Ceremony because he wants to make you happy.
He hopes that everyone in the Capital City knows that you are someone who is protected by Chen Jue. He values you very much.
He wants the Coming of Age Ceremony to be grand. He did it well because of you, didn't he? "
Li Xiao was stunned. "But … I don't care …"
"Don't tell me you don't care." Wang Yi was shocked. He looked around and sighed when he saw that there was no one around.
Oh my god, Lord Chen put in so much effort to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony for this little girl. He would be furious if she said something like that.
Li Xiao licked her lips nervously.
"You … think about it carefully. Lord Chen will be back later. What can you say to him and what can't?" Wang Yi took another sip of tea, then shook his head, stood up, and leaned against the tree trunk.
He kept looking at Li Xiao with pity.
Lord Zhang had said that he had to learn to keep a distance from the little girl.
He was very nervous when he sat opposite Li Xiao just now. What if Lord Chen suddenly came back …
