Chapter 239 Meeting

Chapter 239 Encounter

In response to Lai Zi's words, Ye Xuan just laughed and said, "Oh, this is really a good suggestion."

Laizi and his gang breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It would be best if they could avoid a conflict with this group of tough guys.

Hearing this, Laizi and the others quietly dispersed, revealing Cui'er behind them, waiting for Ye Xuan and his gang to come forward and enjoy the food.

Although they felt a little aggrieved, they touched the silver in their arms and comforted themselves: Now that I have the silver, why should I be afraid of not having women?

What's more, after this group of people are done playing, we can wash it and continue using it.

When Cui'er heard this, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was instantly shattered. She looked at the figure approaching step by step with a look of despair.

Since Ye Xuan and his group were standing at the entrance of the temple with the light behind them, no one could see their appearance clearly.

Seeing that the other party had given way, Ye Xuan raised his hand to stop Wang Feihu who was eager to fight, and whispered: "If the fight breaks out later, there is no guarantee that the girl will not be injured. I will go over and protect the girl first."

Wang Feihu hesitated and said, "Sir, is this dangerous?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "They are just a few thugs. If I wasn't worried about hurting innocent people, I would have let you do it right away."

Wang Feihu chuckled, and when he recalled the day when he was beaten by Ye Xuan and couldn't stand up at the door of Wang Guangyang's house, he smiled embarrassedly.

After arranging the action, Ye Xuan walked towards Cui'er on his own.

As they got closer and closer, he was about to protect the unfortunate woman opposite him, but the woman seemed to have gone crazy. She suddenly stood up, not caring about exposing her upper body, and wanted to run like a headless fly.

Ye Xuan frowned, and then he saw a lame man on the opposite side laughing strangely: "Don't worry, brother, I'll catch it for you."

As he said that, he rushed towards Cui'er, and his dirty claws reached out towards Cui'er's pants. If Ye Xuan witnessed the whole process of this group of people catching Cui'er, he would know that this cripple was going to repeat the same trick.

However, Ye Xuan did not give him this opportunity. Seeing that the cripple was about to chase Cui'er, Ye Xuan directly drew out his long knife and swung it at the cripple.

With a "puff" sound, the long knife flew over the lame man's outstretched hand. First there was a "sizzling" sound of blood splattering, and then the lame man's miserable wailing.

The lepers and their gang were stunned because everything happened too fast.

It only took a breath of time from the time the lame man volunteered to the time the knife flashed and blood splattered five steps away.

This group of young men had no idea why the ruthless guy who was about to play with the young lady the moment before would attack them the next moment.

Ye Xuan ignored these people. As long as they didn't want to hurt the almost naked woman opposite him, he was too lazy to take action.

When Wang Feihu and others saw that Ye Xuan had taken action, they did not hesitate and rushed forward shouting. After just one encounter, four or five young men were knocked to the ground by Ye Xuan and his Jinyiwei.

Ye Xuan was just about to ask Cui'er to stop, but the girl started running around like she was scared mad, and finally ran into Ye Xuan's arms like a headless fly.

Ye Xuan subconsciously reached out to hold it, only to feel its warmth and softness. His fingers instinctively stroked Cui'er's smooth back a few times.

Cui'er trembled and tried to break free, but she was stunned the moment she looked up and saw Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan had never seen Cui Er before. Shi Yi saw a strange woman staring at him blankly and didn't think much of it. He just thought she was scared. Just as he was about to let go of her hand, he suddenly heard the woman in his arms ask, "You... Is your last name Ye? Is your name Ye Xuan?"

Ye Xuan suddenly looked down at the woman in his arms and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Although Ye Xuan did not answer directly, this rhetorical question undoubtedly acknowledged that he was Ye Xuan. Cui'er suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan like a drowning person who had grabbed the last straw, and buried her head in Ye Xuan's arms and began to cry.

Ye Xuan was confused and thought about it for a while. He was sure that neither he nor his predecessor had any relatives or friends in Quanzhou Prefecture.

I couldn't help wondering, "Who are you and how do you recognize me?"

Cui Er continued to cry for a long time before she raised her head and said anxiously, "The eldest princess is missing, Lord Ye, go and look for her!"

…………

Cui'er was sitting in the courtyard of the dilapidated temple with her clothes in disarray. Opposite her was Ye Xuan, who was frowning and thinking.

Thinking of how she had thrown herself almost naked into the other man's arms, Cui'er's face turned red with shame, and she secretly glanced at Ye Xuan's profile again. Cui'er thought to herself, he is indeed a handsome young man. No wonder the eldest princess would rather leave the palace and run away to be with the Jinyiwei opposite her.

If it were me, I would probably be willing to do the same.

Thinking of this, Cui'er couldn't help but blame herself. Now that Zhu Huan's whereabouts were unknown, she actually had the mind to think about these trivial things.

But I don’t know what’s going on. Ever since Ye Xuan rescued her from that group of thugs, Cui’er has felt particularly safe staying with Ye Xuan.

It seemed that no matter how big the problem was, it no longer mattered. As long as Ye Xuan was there, everything could be solved perfectly, just like how he rescued himself from Qingpi's hands unscathed.

Thinking of those green skins, Cui'er looked towards the corner of the yard.

Several beggars had their hands and feet tied and were thrown into a corner, shivering and daring not to say a word. Only the lame man whose right hand was cut off would hum a few words from time to time.

But looking at his pale face, he probably lost too much blood and I don’t know if he can survive.

Humph, death is the best! Cui Er thought so.

As his thoughts were flying, he suddenly saw Ye Xuan looking at him out of the corner of his eye.

Cui'er didn't know what was going on, she straightened her body and faced Ye Xuan with her already considerable chest.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, first said some comforting words, then got to the point and said: "Her Royal Highness is not an unreasonable person, and she has never traveled far away alone, she would not leave the inn without saying a word."

Cui Er nodded hurriedly and agreed, "I am the closest to Her Highness. She will take me with her wherever she goes."

Ye Xuan didn't know whether to approve or deny this, so he just smiled and said, "The most important thing is that the innkeeper also said that he didn't see the eldest princess go out. The innkeeper has no reason to lie to you."

"Unless he runs a black shop, but this possibility is very small. This means that the eldest princess did not leave the inn on her own, but disappeared inside the inn!"

Cui Er covered her mouth and exclaimed, "But I have searched the entire inn, and I can't find any trace of Your Highness!"

"If His Highness is still at the inn, there is no reason why I can't find him."
