In the middle of the road, a thin and weak girl was blocking the way, facing her were dozens of tall horses... and on the horseback, there were dozens of robust men full of hostility.
These people made Mo Yan extremely wary, but the safety of the Mo family was the most important thing at the moment. She nervously looked up, but unexpectedly met a pair of ink-like deep eyes—
With a clear and lean appearance, ethereal like a deity!
Mo Yan stared blankly at the man in front of her, who seemed like a figure from a painting. For a moment, she forgot her fear, and only these twelve words flashed through her mind. But when she met his seemingly soul-stirring eyes, she felt that even the most beautiful poetry in the world was a desecration to him!
Xiao Ruiyuan frowned, his eyes as cold as lacquer, looking coldly at the little girl who rushed up to him. She wasn't the first person who stared at him like this. There were those who were stunning, those who were trying to please, those who were calculating... but there had never been anyone as foolish as her. Could she really be a fool?
On the side, Xiao Shiyi had the same thought as his master. His originally impatient expression turned into pity.
If Mo Yan had telepathy and knew what these master and servant were thinking, she would definitely retort with her hands on her hips: You're the fool, your whole family is a fool!
Mo Yan wasn't really infatuated, it was just that the original owner was too hungry, so she was a bit slow to react, and being dazzled by beauty only took a moment, but she didn't forget the purpose of blocking the road.
"Esteemed gentlemen, this young lady did not intend to obstruct. It's just that my family has encountered a group of bandits who want to capture my younger brother and sister to eat. The bandits outnumber us, and I had no choice but to resort to this. Please forgive us and save us!"
Mo Yan didn't dare to delay and quickly finished her request. She anxiously looked at the handsome man who was obviously the leader, not sure if, in this age where life was as insignificant as grass, the other party would lend a hand, or... ignore them!
But when her gaze met the cold eyes of the man, she was still intimidated by his presence. Unconsciously averting her eyes, she secretly thought: Could this be the legendary aura of a king?
Xiao Ruiyuan's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak, nor did he turn his horse to leave.
Xiao Shiyi understood his master's thoughts. Although his master seemed cold and decisive, he was only like that towards certain people. Towards ordinary people without malicious intent, his master was still very tolerant. This time, when a little girl came out asking for help, it was still such a heinous thing, his master wouldn't just stand by.
Thinking of this, he spoke, "Miss, don't worry, I'll arrange for a few men to go with you to rescue your people!" As he finished speaking, he gestured behind him, and immediately five big men rode out.
Mo Yan didn't expect the other party to agree to help so easily. Overjoyed, she quickly thanked the handsome man, "Many thanks to the young master for lending a hand. I have nothing to repay your kindness. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely express my gratitude!"
Without the tacit consent of the handsome man, how would his subordinates dare to act on their own?
Although the handsome man still had a frosty face and his "no strangers allowed" mode was fully on, Mo Yan felt that this was typical of someone who appeared cold but was actually warm-hearted. Compared to those who were outwardly enthusiastic but secretly dug pits to bury people, he was much better.
Xiao Ruiyuan wouldn't take a yellow-haired girl's promise to heart, but when he looked at the sincere big eyes of the little girl, he subconsciously nodded.
This scene made Xiao Shiyi look straight, his face full of strangeness.
Sensing the gaze from his subordinate, Xiao Ruiyuan gave him a faint glance.
Xiao Shiyi shrank his neck and turned his head to Mo Yan, saying with a wooden face, "Miss, lead the way, we'll follow!"
