Those students just didn't want to endure the hardship, and instead started to find fault with the priestess, which made Xiao Ruoxin unhappy.

Xiao Yichen frowned and thought. Considering that the reputation of the Five Poison Sect has not yet been fully restored, if Qu Ruchen's true identity is revealed, it may cause new disturbances.

He felt that he had to ask Taoist Xuanhe to come forward once to calm everyone's dissatisfaction.

"Brother Fengtian, is Taoist Xuanhe free these days?" Xiao Yichen asked Qu Tingyun.

"I have the same concern. You don't have to worry. I have already written a letter to my mother, and my father will be here soon to deal with this matter." Qu Tingyun put down the book and replied with a smile.

"So, Aunt Qu will come along too?"

Xiao Ruoxin jumped up excitedly and hung on her brother's back, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Finally, she could see Aunt Qu, whom she had been looking forward to for a long time!

"Is Aunt Qu the mother of Mr. Qu?"

Li Xin, who was standing by, asked curiously. In the past three months, she had established a deep friendship with Qu Tingyun and Xiao Ruoxin, and had a certain understanding of their backgrounds.

"That's right! Sister Li, do you know? Aunt Qu is very powerful! She is the fifth..."

Xiao Ruoxin was about to continue speaking when she suddenly realized that she had almost revealed the secret and quickly shut her mouth.

"Xiao Ruoxin!"

Xiao Yichen suddenly shouted loudly, causing Xiao Ruoxin to freeze in place instantly.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at her brother with a bit of grievance, muttering in her heart: Why is my brother so scary today?

Seeing this, Qu Tingyun sighed softly and waved gently to the frightened little sister: "Yichen, you scared Xin'er."

Xiao Ruoxin jumped away from her brother like a frightened little white rabbit and hid beside Qu Tingyun.

"Royal brother, why are you so fierce?" she muttered, her voice full of confusion and innocence.

Xiao Yichen only felt a dull pain in his temple. This little girl was really worrying. She didn't understand why he was being so harsh on her, and she didn't realize the possible consequences of her actions.

She seemed to have no idea about Li Xing and the complicated relationship between them. If she continued like this, she would be used by someone with ulterior motives without even realizing it.

Just now, if he hadn't stopped it in time, Xiao Ruoxin almost leaked important information about Aunt Qu Xin!

"Come here!" Xiao Yichen realized that he had to have a serious talk with his sister and let her learn to beware of unreliable people.

"No!" Xiao Ruoxin immediately shook her head to refuse. Seeing her brother coming towards her, she immediately turned around and hid behind Li Xin.

"Brother, you have such a bad temper and are so fierce. I won't go!" she added mischievously.

These words made Li Xin couldn't help laughing, and even Qu Tingyun, who was preparing to mediate, couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Xiao, Xin'er is innocent. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate. If my presence causes any inconvenience, please tell me and don't embarrass her."

Li Xin turned around and looked at Xiao Ruoxin who was secretly looking out from behind and said gently. In the three months of getting along, she had already been moved by the innocence and kindness of this little girl.

This girl was the first person she had met in years who treated her wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Her presence was like a warm light that illuminated her once dark world.

"Now that you know why I blame her, you should know what to do next!"

Xiao Yichen stared at Li Xin with cold eyes, and there was no trace of politeness in his tone: "Well, from today on, please stay away from Xin Er!"

He has suppressed this sentence in his heart for a long time!

In order to consider Xin'er's feelings, he has been patient and not saying anything for the past three months.

But when he heard Xin'er speaking freely in front of Li Xin regardless of their relationship, he knew that he could no longer allow them to have frequent contact!

"Yi Chen."

Qu Tingyun was caught off guard by Xiao Yichen's words. His smile became a little forced. He patted Xiao Yichen's shoulder, motioning him to calm down.

After observing for a period of time, Qu Tingyun has basically understood Li Xin's background, but one thing remains a mystery - her real purpose in coming to Changle Mountain.

Although she has behaved well in the past few months without any abnormal behavior or flaws, it will take more time to figure out her intentions. Now is not the time to break up with her.

"Brother Fengtian!"

Feeling Qu Tingyun's gaze, Xiao Yichen's anger slowly subsided.

Looking back at Li Xin's deep and unfathomable eyes, he realized that his behavior just now might have caused her to build up the wall in her heart again, which Brother Fengtian had made her let down with great difficulty.

"I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood everything. I thought we were friends, but I didn't expect that this was just my wishful thinking."

Li Xing smiled slightly, with a hint of self-mockery in that smile.

She gently pushed Xiao Ruoxin's hand away, stood up, made a polite and distant gesture to the three people, and left the school.

"Sister Li!"

Xiao Ruoxin hurriedly got up and chased after him. Before leaving, she did not forget to shout to her brother, "Royal brother is such a fool!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Fengtian, it's all my fault." Xiao Yichen looked at Qu Tingyun apologetically.

"It's okay, you just care too much about Xin'er, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Qu Tingyun comforted him softly, but his eyes unconsciously turned in the direction where he was leaving, thinking in his heart what to do next.

"Sister Li! Wait for me!"

In front, Li Xin's figure gradually disappeared from sight. Xiao Ruoxin tried desperately to catch up, but found that his pace was far behind the other party.

"oops!"

While running, she accidentally bumped into someone.

Xiao Ruoxin fell to the ground, gasping in pain. Rubbing her aching buttocks, she tried to adjust her head which was dizzy from the impact.

"Are you ok?"

A gentle voice came from the front. She looked up and saw a woman wrapped in heavy clothes, with only a pair of eyes exposed, looking at her with concern.

Even his hands are hidden in gloves, which is particularly unusual in Changle Mountain where it is spring all year round.

"Ajiu, come and help this girl up." The woman whispered to the maid beside her.

"I'm sorry, I was so busy admiring the flowers that I didn't notice someone coming over. I'm so sorry to have bumped into you."

The woman apologized sincerely, which made Xiao Ruoxin feel a little ashamed - it was obviously she who bumped into the other person accidentally.

"Sister, don't say that. I was reckless and I should be the one apologizing."

Xiao Ruoxin quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly to the woman to express his apology.

However, the woman obviously did not expect her to be so close. There was a flash of panic in her eyes. When she tried to step back, she stepped on a small stone and lost her balance. She was about to fall.

"Miss!"

"Sister!" Xiao Ruoxin and the maid exclaimed at the same time.
