"Please let me go! Let me go!!"
He Xi frowned slightly, suddenly pulled out the whip, moved his wrist, and hit the servant neither lightly nor heavily.
He convulsed all over and fainted without even a scream.
A lot of useful information came out of this cunning slave. He Xi raised his lips, so of course he had to keep this man's life for the time being.
Nanny Chen, who had been pushed to the ground, covered in wounds and with blood on her face, finally raised her head at this time.
The familiar figure of He Xi appeared in her dim eyes, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Miss, it's really Miss! I knew you wouldn't die, I knew... Madam would bless you!"
He Xi looked down at Nanny Chen, who was lying on the ground crying with tears and blood on her face, and a complex look flashed across his eyes.
She could hear in Nanny Chen's words the deep friendship and love for Nalan Hexi, as well as her loyalty and willingness to die for her. That was true loyal protection, without the slightest trace of exploitation or calculation.
In Nalan Hexi's tragic memory, Nanny Chen had taken care of her since she was a child, and would rather die of starvation or exhaustion than let her suffer too much injustice. Without her, Nalan Hexi would not have been able to survive until now.
This kind of feeling made her feel strange, but also made her envious. There had been people in this world who swore to defend and protect her to the death, but...
He Xi let out a breath, bent down to help Nanny Chen up, and raised his head to gently touch several of her acupoints.
Nanny Chen suddenly felt that the heart-wrenching pain in her chest and the throbbing pain in her abdomen suddenly felt much better, and even the wound on her hand that was bleeding profusely had healed.
Nanny Chen looked up in surprise and saw the cold and arrogant expression on He Xi's face.
She was stunned for a moment, and felt that the lady in front of her was completely different from her original appearance.
He Xi didn't explain anything to her. She smiled faintly and said, "Mammy, please go back to your room and wait for a while. I will help you heal your wounds after I have dealt with them."
Solve…solve them? Nanny Chen's eyes widened and she screamed, "Miss, many of them are at the Qi training stage. How can you…how can you be their opponent?"
Nanny Chen's exclamation immediately woke everyone present up.
Zhang San, who had the highest cultivation level among the remaining few, had just reached the peak of the second level of Qi training a year ago. He focused his eyes and saw clearly that He Xi was indeed the useless person with no spiritual power at all, and his shock immediately turned into anger.
They were all cultivators in the Qi training stage, but they were actually frightened by a useless mortal who couldn't practice. It was so embarrassing to tell others about it. As for the death of Butler Li, it must have been because he was attacked by surprise and he didn't check it at the time.
Zhang San glared at her viciously and said, "Miss San, you are so arrogant. We don't know who will be punished today. Let us teach you what self-knowledge means!"
Nanny Chen was so frightened that her face turned pale. Without thinking, she stood in front of He Xi and shouted, "Miss, run! Nanny will stop them. You should go back to Nalan Mansion and ask the master for help!"
Looking at Nanny Chen standing firmly in front of her, her back was even trembling, but she did not retreat a single step. He Xi was stunned for a moment.
A thin stream of warmth flowed through her dry and dead heart - there was actually someone in this life who was willing to protect her at the cost of his own life. (To be continued)
