Chapter 1403 You're so good-looking?
Chapter 1403 You're so good-looking?
Enraged by Wumian's words, Xueying lashed out with the rattan cane in his hand: "Wumian...we are your subordinates, and you must remember the difference between superiors and inferiors, especially when it comes to women. Nowadays, women are scarce, and the laws promulgated by the court are all designed to protect them."
"If we anger the Queen, what will become of our master in the future!"
"I see you still don't know you're wrong, I'll beat you!" Blood Shadow said, picking up a vine and preparing to whip Sleepless.
Wumian flinched in fright, but didn't dodge. Before the vine could hit him, they felt a surge of internal energy. Looking up, they saw a stunningly beautiful man in pink standing at the doorway.
When Wumian saw the stars, her first reaction was to exclaim "Wow!"
Wow...what a handsome brother!
The next second, the person was right next to Xingchen, blinked his big eyes, and asked curiously, "Are you the Queen's husband? You're so handsome! More handsome than all the other husbands I've seen today."
Upon hearing this, Xingchen glanced at the young man before her, her lips parted slightly, but before she could speak, Yexing hurriedly pulled Wumian behind him, bowed, and explained:
"No rudeness allowed, Wumian. This is Lord Xingce, who lives in the main courtyard. Hurry up and pay your respects to him."
"Greetings, Lord Xingce. This is Wumian, who came a few days ago. You were out on business at the time, so we didn't see him. This is Xueying, both of whom are subordinates of Lord Wenren."
After Ye Xing finished speaking, he nervously tugged at Wu Mian again. This Xingcejun held a high position in the backyard. If he offended him, would he have a good life in the future?
At this moment, Wumian looked at Xingchen with infatuation: "I...have seen beauty...have seen Xingcejun."
Upon hearing Wumian's words and seeing his appearance, Xueying stepped forward to block Wumian's path and respectfully bowed to Xingchen.
Xingchen looked at the three of them and chuckled softly, "I just got back from running errands. I didn't expect it to be so lively here! Didn't the Lady stay at your master's place tonight?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Lady has returned to the main courtyard today and has also informed Your Majesty that you may go to the side courtyard tomorrow."
"I never expected that the legendary physician Wumian, known for his healing and skillful medical treatment, would be so young," Xingchen said, looking at Wumian.
Meanwhile, Wumian, who was being blocked, craned his neck and stared intently at Xingchen. How could there be such a handsome older brother? He liked him so much, what should he do!
Especially when his calm and deep eyes looked at him, Wumian was visibly a little embarrassed: "I... I just have good comprehension, so I learn faster, but my medical skills are not bad at all. I can use silver needles to seal the acupoints of the Lord and the others, which can make them recover for three hours."
Xingchen looked at Wumian, who seemed to want his praise, and saw the infatuation in his eyes. His lips twitched slightly. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to look at him like that.
"Lord Xingce, Wumian is just a temperamental person, please don't take it to heart," Xueying said awkwardly.
"Did Wumian just say I'm pretty?"
"Yes! Yes! You are very beautiful. I saw other gentlemen today, and although they were also very beautiful, you are the most beautiful!" Wumian nodded and said with a silly smile.
Xingchen was amused by Wumian and his silly grin, but the next second her expression suddenly changed as she looked at him: "Do you know what I do with the people who say I'm beautiful?"
The change in the stars made Blood Shadow and Night Walk tense up, their hands clenching tightly.
Wumian, showing no sign of tension, continued smiling: "It wouldn't... be about giving someone to... you know?"
After speaking, Wumian subconsciously covered her neck and protested, "I'm still useful. I can help the lord and the others suppress their reactions. Lord Xingce can't kill me."
Seeing Wumian's sleepless appearance, Xingchen took a step forward and continued with a slightly cold expression, "What if I insist on taking your life?"
Upon hearing Xingchen's words, Wumian froze in terror, then burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah...waaah...I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough yet..."
"If my master leaves me... sob... what will he do..."
"Waaaaah..."
A deafening wail echoed in the courtyard, startling Xingchen so much that her expression cracked.
Blood Shadow and Night Walk silently took a half step back, not wanting to get involved with Sleepless. Star Lord was clearly testing them, but there was no killing intent on his face. They didn't know what this idiot was wailing about.
"Waaaaah... If you really want to kill me, can I at least hug you before I die?"
"Waaaaah... I've never hugged such a handsome man before!"
"Waaaaah...waaaah..."
Upon hearing this, Xingchen was so angry he laughed. This guy was trying to take advantage of him even before he died!
Xueying really didn't want to see Wumian in such a shameful state, so she tugged at him and said, "Wumian, don't cry. Xingcejun doesn't want to kill you."
"Don't you want my life?" Wumian stared blankly for a second, her eyes filled with tears, looking at the stars.
Xingchen glanced at Wumian with a headache and said to Xueying, "Once you're in the manor, you're family. You'll protect your master, and the Queen is also your master, Tianyi."
Tianyi appeared from the shadows and stood respectfully beside Xingchen.
"You all get to know each other. Tell Blood Shadow how the secret agents in the mansion work around the Queen. From now on, you'll take turns guarding the Queen in the shadows."
"Yes, my lord," Blood Shadow replied respectfully immediately.
After Xingchen finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave. He originally just wanted to see what kind of people were around Wenren Qichi, but he didn't expect that Wumian would leave him speechless.
"There is only one strict rule in this manor: anyone who betrays or harms the Queen shall die! This includes your master."
After saying this, Xingchen glanced at the three of them, then turned and left without further hesitation.
"Xingce Jun, what just happened? I heard a series of wailing and howling sounds outside the courtyard. Are you crying? Why are you crying so miserably?" Mo Rongjin's voice came through.
He had been in seclusion for the past few days researching a set of formations. He had just emerged from seclusion to visit his wife when he heard wailing before he even reached the courtyard.
"You're an insignificant person. You've come out of seclusion? Have you finished developing the formation?" Xingchen asked with concern when she saw Mo Rongjin's furrowed brows relax.
“It’s already been developed. I’ll go to the headquarters of the Killing Pavilion to test its power later. Is my wife still living in the Wenren Courtyard? Have you seen her?” Mo Rongjin asked with a smile.
"My wife..."
Before Xingchen could finish speaking, Wumian's voice came over.
"Wow...another...good-looking person. Nightwalker, look, this person is even more handsome! More handsome than Star Lord."
Mo Rongjin's expression froze upon hearing this. Could the person who was even more handsome than Xingce Jun be referring to him?
The next second, Wumian appeared. Mo Rongjin saw Wumian with red eyes and noticed that he was blinking and staring at him.
"You are..."
