courtyard # 66, was precisely the courtyard Xiao Lingxi resided in. It was precisely because this number was easy to remember that everyone in Xiao Sect knew it. When they heard Xiao Jiu saying "66th courtyard", they all thought of its master at the first moment.
The crowd automatically parted, isolating Xiao Lingxi's position, so that she was exposed to everyone without any place to hide. Xiao Lie's expression changed greatly and his brows furrowed. His expression immediately became incomparably gloomy and he took a step forward, blocking in front of Xiao Lingxi. A wave of fury swelled up in his chest, and was about to explode.
When Xiao Jiu shouted out the words "66th courtyard", he completely understood what the discordant feeling he had been feeling all along was!
There were too many people in the past, and they were all standing in a relatively crowded place, so Xiao Kuangyun wasn't able to clearly locate where Xiao Lingxi was. At this moment, he was naturally able to see everything clearly. In an instant, his eyes suddenly lit up, radiating a light like that of a vicious wolf. This girl looked slightly younger than Xia Qingyue. She was a genuine girl, but she had bright eyes and white teeth, a delicate and pretty face, and especially her eyes, which, although they were filled with fear and panic, were still as limpid and clear as a pool of spring water.
"Xiao Kuangyun forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the ocean in his mind churning … That Xiao Yulong really didn't lie to me! Although Xiao Lingxi was slightly worse in terms of looks, she was still just slightly off, but she definitely would not be bad in terms of taste. Furthermore, when she matures, she won't necessarily be worse than Xia Qingyue … Coming to such a small desolate place, to think that I would meet two beauties that could be called the beauty of a kingdom. This is simply a reward from the heavens for my long journey!
Xiao Kuangyun began to feel that his rejection of coming to this Xiao Sect was an extremely foolish decision … Fortunately, he was unable to defy his father's orders and obediently came here.
"Xiao Lingxi... How could it be you! "
Looking at Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Yun Hai's expression was first one of surprise, then shock, and then immediately after, disbelief.
"It's not me!" Sect Leader... It's really not me! " Xiao Lingxi shook his head with all his might, his face filled with terror. She did have the intention to steal the Profound Opening Powder last night, but after being stopped by Xiao Lie, she obediently went back to her room to sleep … She was completely unaware of the matter of the Profound Opening Powder being stolen.
"Yo, I didn't expect this reckless thief to be a little girl." Xiao Kuangyun said in a strange tone, "But I just said, no matter who it is, they will not be forgiven!"
"Sigh!" Xiao Lingxi, why are you … To be able to do such outrageous things! This box of Profound Opening Powder is a treasure that Xiao Sect had prepared for us! You're making me. What should I do? " Xiao Yun heavily sighed, looking as if he was in extreme pain.
"Clan Master!" It wasn't me, I really didn't steal it! It must … There must be something wrong! It's really not me! " Xiao Lingxi shook her head again and again, her face already completely pale.
Xiao Kuangyun was furious, and shouted: "This box of Profound Opening Powder was found under your pillow, didn't you steal it, or did it fly over by itself? Little miss, I gave you a chance to confess previously, but you didn't have the confidence. Now that the evidence is conclusive and you have the witness of countless people in the Xiao Sect, do you still want to deny it? "It looks like you won't admit it if I don't torture you to death!"
These three words caused Xiao Lingxi's entire body to sway for a moment. If not for Xiao Che hurriedly supporting her, she might have already collapsed onto the ground. Xiao Che clenched both of his fists tightly, and a "pa pa pa" sound rang out between his fingers. He stared at Xiao Kuangyun, and his entire body burst forth with the power of a rebirth. Killing intent!
"Young Master Xiao, please calm your anger!" Xiao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and fiercely kneeled on one knee. With a beseeching expression, he said, "Xiao Lingxi stealing from the Xiao Sect is indeed an unpardonable crime, but... But her nature is definitely not bad, she is extremely popular in my Xiao Sect, and she knows how to steal the Profound Opening Powder, she has her own difficulties … "
"Difficult? "What difficulties?" Xiao Kuangyun said with a darkened face.
Xiao Yun glanced at Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Che who were standing together, and said with a pained expression: "Xiao Lingxi is the only daughter of the Fifth Elder of our Xiao Sect, and she has a nephew one year older than her, named Xiao Che. This nephew of hers had unluckily lost his innate profound veins … Xiao Che didn't have any other strength, and his profound veins were crippled, which meant that his entire life was already ruined. Xiao Lingxi treated Xiao Che with extreme care and care, and had always been searching for a method to repair his profound veins … All of these, were known to everyone in the Xiao Sect, and even within the Cloud Flowing City itself. The reason why Xiao Lingxi dared to steal the Profound Opening Powder is obviously because she heard that the Profound Opening Powder had the ability to repair the profound veins and save her nephew.
"Although the crime has been committed, the evidence is conclusive and there is no way to justify it. "However, Young Master Xiao, please accept the fact that our sect's Xiao Lingxi is still young and has a heart of a virgin, so let's lightly punish him. Everyone in our Xiao Sect will be grateful to Young Master Xiao for his great kindness."
Although Xiao Yun Hai had a humble posture, every word he spoke was sincere, striking straight into everyone's hearts, causing them all to be moved. And his words, also made some people who could not understand why Xiao Lingxi was so daring to steal the Profound Opening Powder, come to a sudden realization … So the Profound Opening Powder actually had the ability to repair damaged profound veins. No wonder …
Everyone in the Cloud Flowing City knew that Xiao Che was born with a crippled profound veins. Xiao Lingxi had always been extremely protective of him and had always been extremely worried about his profound veins. In this way, and thinking that Xiao Lingxi would steal the Profound Opening Powder, it was not because he was bold, but rather, it was reasonable.
Xiao Yun had always been bowing and groveling in front of Xiao Kuangyun and many people were secretly looking down on him. However, at this moment, everyone felt sincere admiration for him in their hearts … In order to protect the disciples of the Xiao Sect, this Xiao Sect Lord did his best to beg for mercy even in the face of the angered Xiao Sect s. His words were reasonable and moving, and he did not even hesitate to kneel down on one knee.
Only Xiao Che gave an angry and cold laugh … What a flawless show! On the surface, it seemed as if he was pleading for forgiveness for Xiao Lingxi, but in reality, he had completely proven Xiao Lingxi's crime! If he was an outsider, even he might have believed that everything was Xiao Lingxi's doing.
"So there's actually such an inside story." After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Xiao Kuangyun's expression clearly eased up by quite a bit. He said in a bland voice, "Hmph, I is also not a cruel and merciless person, since she committed such a heinous crime to save her nephew, in consideration of the circumstances, as long as she obediently admits her mistakes and apologizes, I can consider it lightly …"
"It's not me!" I really didn't steal it! " Xiao Lingxi shook her head with all her might, gritted her teeth, and shouted with a slightly hoarse voice: "If I did it, I'll definitely admit … But I really didn't steal the Profound Opening Powder! I don't know why it would appear in my room. There must be something wrong! Sect Leader, please believe me, it really wasn't me! "
Xiao Lingxi's shout not only did not move anyone, it had the opposite effect due to Xiao Yun's previous actions. She was the most reasonable person to steal the Profound Opening Powder. The Profound Opening Powder was also found in her room, and this could already be considered a crime against her. Yet Xiao Yun, who did not hesitate to face danger and dignity to plead for mercy on her behalf, was already asking for mercy, and even though it moved others, she was still unwilling to admit it … In the eyes of the bystanders, this was simply unappreciative of what was good for them.
Xiao Kuangyun's previously eased face darkened once again as he sneered: "Where did you get this wrong? The people of Xiao Sect found this Profound Opening Powder personally in your room. What do you mean by that, do you think that the people of Xiao Sect are purposely framing a little Xiao Sect girl like you? "Hmm?"
These words, Xiao Kuangyun was filled with anger and confidence … Would a dignified Xiao Sect deliberately frame a person who wasn't even considered trash in their eyes? Anyone would sound like a joke.
At this time, Xiao Sect Xiao Li stood up, pointed at Xiao Lingxi and said sternly: "Xiao Lingxi! You committed such a great sin that caused the entire Xiao Sect to be shamed. Clan Master even personally begged for mercy for you. You really are. This is too disappointing! "
"Sigh, it's not only disappointment. It's extreme pain." Second Elder Xiao Bo shook his head, and said with a sorrowful expression: "It was a waste for Clan Master to painstakingly plead for mercy, but she actually … Sigh! Xiao Lingxi, what kind of existence is the Xiao Sect, would they intentionally wrongly accuse you? If you know your wrongs and can correct them, then there is no point in talking about kindness. But your actions have caused us to lose all face in front of our friends in Cloud Flowing City. "
"I... You. "You all..." Looking at the many heartless and cold gazes, Xiao Lingxi's delicate body trembled and her tears flowed profusely. Her mind was a complete blank, unable to utter a complete sentence.
At this time, Xiao Che gently pinched her small hands, stood by her side, and gently spoke with a voice that only she could hear: "Little Aunt, don't be afraid … Don't say anything for now, because nothing you say will help now. It doesn't matter if they believe me or not, I will always believe in Little Aunt … Leave the rest to me. "
The rest … Leave it to me...
His profound strength were low, his body was weak, and he had always been under her protection as he grew up. Yet with this kind of frail body blocking in front of her, when he said these few simple words, her panicked, helpless, ice-cold heart actually quickly became tranquil and warm … It was as if he was back in his childhood, when she was being bullied, he would always fly over from afar and stand in front of her, using his hands, feet, and teeth as weapons to prevent her from getting hurt even a little bit more …
Little Che... She murmured in her heart …
"Cough cough …" Xiao Che walked forward a few steps, faked a few coughs, and successfully attracted everyone's attention. He bowed slightly, and said with a smile. I am Xiao Lingxi's nephew, the Xiao Che who is completely useless in front of everyone. Regarding the matter of the Profound Opening Powder that was stolen and retrieved, I have a few questions to ask the Sect Leader, it should be fine, right? "
"Oh... You are the famous trash of Cloud Flowing City? " Xiao Kuangyun glanced at him indifferently, and let out a disdainful sneer: "You can't be thinking of excusing your Little Aunt, right? "Hehe, that's fine too, I want to see what you can get out of it."
"Che'er..." Xiao Lie, whose face had already turned ashen, slightly spoke. The answer he got was actually the silent action of Xiao Che, who was carrying his right hand behind his back.
"Alright then!" Xiao Che nodded, and his gaze turned to Xiao Yun Hai. "Clan Master, about the Profound Opening Powder, I have a few questions I want to ask you …
Without waiting for Xiao Yun Hai to reply, Xiao Che had already asked in his own right, "The first question … Regardless of whether it is the sect master's cultivation level, or cultivation level of mind, she is outstanding in all of Xiao Sect. In terms of character, she is even more steady and cautious. This point was known by everyone in the Xiao Sect, and even everyone in the Cloud Flowing City. So here's the problem, the excavator. Oh no, with Sect Master's cautious personality, after obtaining the important treasure sent by the Xiao Sect, the most important thing to do is to bring it with you, because taking it with you is the safest … But the Sect Leader had placed it in the most unsafe place, the infirmary. Can the Sect Leader explain this point? "
