“Ning He? I’m a little impressed.
Xue Lin looked Ning He up and down, then smiled lightly and said, “It must be the little follower next to Xu Hongyu.”
“It is a blessing for a common girl that you can remember her.”
Xiaohe bowed again.
As Xu Hongyu’s maid, she gave orders for her when Xu Hongyu was away. Xiao He had no fear of He Mingxuan and no need to give in, but the same could not be said for Xue Lin in front of her.
Let alone her, even if Xu Hongyu is here, she still has to treat her as a subordinate in front of Xue Lin.
In terms of strength and official position, Xue Lin is higher than Xu Hongyu, and even has a higher status in the Xue family than Xu Hongyu.
In fact, the direct descendants of the four major families in the inner city can also be distinguished.
Like He Mingxuan, although he is also a direct descendant of the He family, his martial arts talents and qualifications are very average. He barely entered Yi Jin at the age of twenty-seven. Secondly, he is not the direct eldest son of the fourth generation of the He family, but was born at the back. , so Xu Hongyu was outclassed in almost every aspect from status to strength.
On the other hand, Xue Lin is the top direct descendant of the four major families in the inner city. He has a high status and voice even within the Xue family, and is completely different from He Mingxuan.
Because of this.
After learning about what happened here, Xiao He pondered over and over again and finally came, but he didn’t bring anyone with him, didn’t tell anyone, and came alone.
Xue Lin was involved, so she could only find a way to solve it herself. Not to mention Xu Hongyu’s absence, even if Xu Hongyu was in the city, she couldn’t involve Xu Hongyu.
After all, Ning Yu is her biological brother and the only male in her family. Even if she knows how difficult Xue Lin is to deal with, she can only come.
“Hongyu hunted monsters quite gracefully this time and did not lose the name of the Yu family.”
Xue Lin looked away, casually picked up a piece of fruit on the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Xiao He lowered his head slightly and said nothing. Xue Lin commented on Xu Hongyu. As Xu Hongyu’s maid, she was obviously not qualified to interrupt.
Xue Lin seemed to be thinking about Xu Hongyu. After a while, he turned around and glanced at Ning Yu who was tied and kneeling in the distance, and said, “Is that your brother?”
“yes.”
Xiao He responded and whispered: “My brother has no intention of offending. I hope Master Xue can forgive me for once.”
Xue Lin gave Xiao He a cold look and said, “Forgive me or not, do you have the right to talk too much?”
The words were accompanied by a chill, which seemed to make the air in the whole room become much colder. Several inner-city young men who were accompanying them nearby did not dare to speak at the moment, including He Mingxuan, who also stayed aside with a tense face, but But he was sneering in his heart.
The bitch relied on Xu Hongyu’s power and dared to show off her power in front of him every day. If Xue Lin was offended now, even Xu Hongyu wouldn’t be able to plead for mercy.
Xue Lin’s words also made Xiaohe tremble slightly. The gap in status was really too big, and the sense of oppression brought by the words made people feel a little suffocated, even though she was also a Yijin-level figure.
However.
Just when everyone was silent, wondering what would happen to Xiao He, Xue Lin suddenly shook his head again.
“There’s no point in embarrassing your maid, so let’s just…”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw the wine jar next to him toward Xiao He, and said, “This jar is Huoyun’s new wine, which is extremely strong.”
Xiao He reached out and caught the wine jar. After all, she was a person in Yijin Realm. As soon as she got the wine, Xue Lin knew that the wine was of extremely strong medicinal properties without Xue Lin having to say anything, but her expression remained unchanged at this time.
She raised her hands lightly, and the crimson wine in the wine jar turned into a thread and flowed down. Previously, the singer only drank a drop and fell unconscious, but now it was like a gurgling stream. In no time, the jar of wine was completely dry. net.
Xiaohe’s cheeks were slightly red, she put down the wine jar and looked at Xue Lin.
“good.”
Xue Lin showed a hint of appreciation on his face and said: “She is Hongyu’s maid after all, and her temperament is similar to hers, so just go ahead.”
Although his Fire Cloud New Wine can be tolerated by warriors in the Yi Jin Realm, the wine itself is like a burning fire. Drinking a jar of wine in one breath is no different from drinking the burning fire directly. However, Xiao He’s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
“The daughter of the people resigns.”
Xiaohe bowed politely and bowed again, then walked towards Ning Yu, stretched out his hand to lift Ning Yu up, and walked outside.
He didn’t even look at He Mingxuan from beginning to end.
He Mingxuan looked at this scene and did not expect that Xue Lin would let him go so lightly. He was even more annoyed with Xiao He’s indifference. Seeing her disappear, he couldn’t help but said: “Brother Xue, a maid like Xu Hongyu dares to be so rude.”
“You’re drunk.”
Xue Lin withdrew his gaze from Xiao He and glanced at He Mingxuan lightly.
This glance immediately gave He Mingxuan a chill in his heart, and he suddenly woke up. He froze in place and did not dare to speak for a while.
The air fell silent again.
Xue Lin slowly poured himself a glass of wine, and his indifferent face suddenly turned into a chuckle again, saying: “Okay, let’s continue playing music and dancing.”
It wasn’t that he was in a good mood, so he let Xiao He go lightly, nor was it to give Xu Hongyu face, but because of today’s incident, He Mingxuan’s shadow was vaguely involved.
He has no interest in intervening in the affairs of the He family and the Yu family.
Even just now, it was only because Ning Yu ruined his fun that he asked Xiao He to drink a pot of wine as apology. As for other things, he was not interested.
If He Mingxuan still wants to use his power to do something, if he is so ignorant, he will not mind throwing one more person into the moat.
Following Xue Lin’s opening.
The singers in the room reacted one after another, raised their smiles, and started playing vocal music again.
Some young men from the inner city also started talking and laughing again, saying flattering words next to Xue Lin. Only He Mingxuan was left aside with a hint of indifference.
His eyes were a little cold, he glanced at the door and made a gesture.
There was a figure outside who quickly disappeared.
……
Outside the boat.
Xiao He half pulled and half lifted Ning Yu with one hand, dragging him all the way from the boat to the shore. Then, she exerted force with her fingers and tore the rope around him to pieces.
“Sister… I am today…”
Ning Yu was still trembling. Now that he was on the shore, he finally couldn’t help but speak in a low voice.
“Walk!”
She spoke in a deep voice.
At this time, Ning Yu finally noticed that Xiao He’s fingers were trembling slightly, beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and the back of his neck was as red as burning.
“Sister, you…”
“Stop talking and let’s go.”
Xiao He spoke in a low voice and walked forward quickly, while Ning Yu quickly followed.
She glanced at the painted house boats on the river bank, then quickly led Ning Yu into the streets and walked quickly through the darkness.
After passing through several streets and alleys, Xiao He suddenly swayed, staggered, and reached out to hold on to the outer wall next to him.
Ning Yu was shocked and wanted to help him, but Xiao He shook his head.
“I’m fine. It’s just that my energy and blood are messed up. It’s not safe here yet. I need to go back to the south as soon as possible.”
The Lou Chuan Hua Fang rests on the west bank of the moat. When she is in normal condition, she can directly cross the river and reach the Wutong on the other side. Even if the ice is very thin, it will not be a problem to carry Ning Yu.
But after drinking that jar of Huoyun Liquor, her whole body’s energy and blood were in chaos. She could only walk from the shore. She needed to pass all the way along the “Guzhangli” in the west of the city, cross the river from Zhengxin Bridge, and return to south.
“This wine is a good thing, but…”
Xiaohe smiled bitterly in his heart.
If you drink it slowly, you will find that the effect of this wine is no less than medicinal wine worth thousands of gold. It can nourish Qi and blood to a great extent. It is a good thing, but drinking a jar at once requires suppressing the medicinal power.
The most important thing is that this place belongs to the west of the city. It’s night again and it’s not safe at all.
In fact, even so, she can still easily deal with ordinary villains, but she is more worried about He Mingxuan. The He family is far more powerful in the west of the city than in the south. It is hard to say that He Mingxuan will not add insult to injury. After all, today’s incident was probably planned by He Mingxuan. .
“Um.”
Ning Yu lowered his head and responded, quickly walking through the streets with Xiao He who was walking again.
After crossing several streets and alleys in a row.
Two figures appeared in the darkness ahead.
“Oh, it’s a girl.”
“Little lady, where are you going at midnight?”
Two ruffians in shabby clothes squatting at the intersection saw Xiao He and Ning Yu hurriedly walking through the streets, and blocked them with ill intentions.
It was definitely unusual for a woman to dare to run around in the streets in the middle of the night, but the two people in front of her were obviously in a hurry, and the man was even more panicked, so that was a little different.
“roll.”
Xiao He spoke coldly.
The two ruffians looked at each other, and one of them suddenly grinned and said: “Oh, you are quite hot-tempered, and your looks are really classy up close…”
Looking at Xiao He’s appearance, the other person stretched out his hand with a squinting expression.
But before he could reach out his hand.
Click! Click! !
Two crisp sounds of bone breaking were heard.
Xiaohe quickly retracted his hand and led Ning Yu through the two ruffians.
The eyes of the two ruffians were bulging, their necks were twisted, they each twitched, and then fell to the side of the road with a thud.
Sister is so awesome…
Ning Yu looked back at the bodies of the two gangsters who fell to the ground, feeling full of respect for Xiao He in his heart.
Several generations above their family had been servants of the Yu family. By this generation, Xiao He was lucky enough to be favored and became Xu Hongyu’s maid. While taking care of Xu Hongyu’s daily life, she was able to practice martial arts with Xu Hongyu. As a result, the Ning family gradually He became rich and even purchased some pavement property in the outer city.
Today he came to Huafang to deliver drinks. On a whim, he got on Huafang to see the excitement. As a result, he accidentally bumped into someone. When he learned that the other person was a big shot in the inner city, he felt extremely regretful.
Xue Lin, deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department, is such a big shot.
He didn’t even have any luck in offending such a being. He felt that even if he didn’t die this time, he might lose half his life.
As a result, Xiao He came and took him out of the boat safely. He led him through the streets at night. Any gangster who dared to cause trouble was killed as soon as he stretched out his hand… He even admired his sister in his heart.
but.
What Ning Yu didn’t notice was that Xiao He, who casually killed two ruffians, began to tremble a little more with his fingers, and the skin on his arms seemed to be stained with a little blush.
In this way, we walked through dozens of streets and alleys without encountering anyone again. The journey was uneventful, and there was only a short distance left to the nearest Zhengxin Bridge.
Far away.
The bridge can already be seen, crossing the moat.
Xiaohe felt a little relieved. As long as he crossed the bridge, he would see Nancheng District on the other side, and it was also Wutongli, which was Chen Mu’s territory.
However.
Just as the two of them quickly walked towards the Zhengxin Bridge and finally approached the bridge.
Tread, step, step.
A burst of footsteps sounded from the darkness, each footstep was unusually thick and steady, and you could tell it belonged to Lian Jiazi just by listening to the steps.
Xiao He stopped and looked at the group of figures gradually walking out of the darkness in front of him, his face slowly darkened.
