"Miss, you are so awesome!" Xiao Ru was so excited that her eyes lit up. She first picked up Shen Ning's shoes, then ran to Shen Ning's side and looked up at her with admiration.
Shen Ning put on her shoes, but her face was solemn, without any pride or joy.
She glanced around and said coldly: "Come out!"
Xiao Ru was stunned: "What's coming out?"
Shen Ning didn't answer, her eyes fell on a pile of firewood behind the woodshed, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and she sneered: "What, you have the guts to do it, but don't have the guts to show up?"
"Miss, what are you talking about? Why can't this slave understand?" Xiaoru was confused.
Shen Ning pushed Xiaoru away, walked towards the haystack, and pulled out a dry firewood stick.
"If you don't show up again, I will take action."
She was now 100% sure that someone had helped secretly just now, and this person was extremely skilled. No one present except her noticed it.
She only knows some simple kung fu moves, and she definitely doesn't have the strength to knock down more than a dozen servants at once. It was the man behind her who controlled her arm without leaving any trace, and threw it out with lightning speed that could not be concealed. A dozen slaps.
To this day, her right arm is still sore.
That person must be hiding behind her, but she looked back and saw that there was no place to hide except this firewood pile.
It was quiet behind the pile of firewood, not even the sound of breathing.
Shen Ning waited for a while, but no one came out. She stamped her feet and walked around behind the haystack, only to find that there was no one there.
If there was really someone behind him just now, he would have left silently.
"He's such a cool guy, but why does he want to help me teach those slaves a lesson?" She said to herself, puzzled.
She was a stranger in this palace, and it was impossible for anyone to help her.
And she searched the original owner's memory and found that the original owner didn't know anyone with strong martial arts skills.
"Miss, what are you looking for?" Xiao Ru came over and looked at the haystack with a puzzled look on his face.
"Nothing." Shen Ning shook her head.
"Miss, you were so majestic just now! When did you become so powerful? I don't know this at all." Xiao Ru's little face turned red with excitement, and she felt indescribably relieved.
Humph, let these slaves who rely on their power bully the young lady again!
Shen Ning smiled slightly and did not explain.
Her clear eyes wandered around. Somehow, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark. That feeling of thorns on her back was definitely not an illusion.
It's just that the other party is a friend, not an enemy, and he just did her a big favor. Since the other party doesn't want to show up, she can't force him.
"Thank you for what happened just now! Regardless of the reason why you helped me, I accept the favor." She cleared her throat and said loudly.
She knew that the person hiding in the dark would definitely hear it.
Xiaoru's eyes widened. It was strange that the eldest lady actually spoke to the air.
"Xiao Ru, let's go."
Shen Ning took Xiao Ru's hand, picked up a lantern that was thrown on the ground, determined the direction, and walked forward.
She didn't want to linger here in the woodshed.
After beating the puppies, the old dogs will soon come out to reclaim the place.
But she is very tired now and has no energy to cope. She just wants to find a safe place to have a good sleep and regain her energy to continue fighting.
