Ling Xiao refused outright, and his tone was very excited.
Ling Qingwan couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they slid down her cheeks.
How much Ling Xiao loved his sister. Ever since she returned to Tokyo City and met Ling Xiao for the first time, Ling Xiao had loved her in every way.
Now that she heard Ling Xiao deny in person that she was his sister, Ling Qingwan felt as if her heart was being torn apart, causing her severe pain.
"Miss… "
Faced with such a situation, Mingyue and his companions didn't know what to do for a moment.
If it was an outsider bullying Ling Qingwan, they would have subdued him long ago. But the person they were facing was Ling Xiao. They couldn't hit or scold him, but Ling Xiao could easily make Ling Qingwan sad.
"It's okay." Ling Qingwan pulled her sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She walked forward, Mingyue took a few steps forward to support her. Ling Qingwan squatted down and faced Ling Xiao who was sitting on the ground.
Seeing Ling Xiao’s swollen mouth, Ling Qingwan felt distressed.
"Brother, I'm Wanwan. Aren't you called Awan? Wan has the same pronunciation as Wan, right?" Ling Qingwan spoke to Ling Xiao very gently, hoping that she could evoke a trace of Ling Xiao's memory of the past.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao moved impatiently and pushed Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan lost her balance and sat down on the ground.
"Hey, you...!"
Song Tian was furious and wanted to scold Ling Xiao, but was stopped by Ling Qingwan.
"Are you sick, woman? I've already told you, I'm not your brother, and you're not my sister. I only have one sister, Liu'er. Also, if you dare to bully Liu'er, I won't let you off."
Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Qingwan, letting her frown in pain, rolled his eyes at her coldly, and then looked away.
Suddenly, a hand held Ling Qingwan's arm.
The familiar scent of sandalwood wafted into her nose. Ling Qingwan was startled and raised her head abruptly.
Wei Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Ling Qingwan with extremely gentle eyes.
"Be good, get up first." He said gently. After that, Wei Xun bent down and helped Ling Qingwan up.
Huzi brought Liu'er to the restaurant. Seeing Liu'er, Ling Xiao was extremely excited and immediately called her sister several times. Liu'er wanted to respond, but when she saw Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan, she didn't dare to, and silently took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Liu'er, did they bully you? Don't be afraid of them. If they bully you, just tell me!" Ling Xiao didn't care about so many things. He didn't take this group of people seriously at all.
When Liu'er is around, there is only Liu'er in his eyes.
Sensing that the person next to him was in a strange mood, Wei Xun said nothing and calmly took Ling Qingwan into his arms.
"Our young master is very emotional, please help me explain it, Miss Liu'er." Mingyue whispered to Liu'er.
Liu Er nodded and walked to Ling Xiao's side.
"Awan, don't worry, they didn't bully me. They are all your relatives, and you are not a wanted criminal by the court. They came to the village to find you and take you home."
"Go home? Where to? I am from Taohua Village. I have no other home." Ling Xiao refused to listen and his attitude was extremely firm.
"Why didn't I see before that this young master has such a stubborn temper?"
Mingyue was extremely anxious listening to the conversation between Liu'er and Lingxiao.
"If he wasn't so stubborn, he wouldn't have always picked fights with me." Wei Xun chuckled.
Ling Qingwan listened to Wei Xun's jokes but couldn't laugh at all.
Fortunately, with Liu'er's comfort, Ling Xiao's mood was relieved a lot. When everyone was about to return to the inn, several officials from the government office came to the door.
"I heard that there are people causing trouble here. Are they you guys?" The leading officer looked serious. He looked at everyone and stopped his gaze on Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan.
"What's going on? They smashed someone's shop and kidnapped someone."
Wei Xun turned sideways and gestured to Song Tian.
Song Tian stepped forward and explained a few words to the officer.
"I don't care where you come from. When you come to our Haitang Town, you must abide by the rules of Haitang Town. You are causing trouble, fighting and kidnapping people. You have violated the rules. Now you have to go to the government office with us."
The leading officer was a stubborn man. Song Tian's explanation was useless and he insisted on dragging Wei Xun and others to the yamen.
"You stay here, I'll be back soon." After thinking for a while, Wei Xun decided to go to the government office alone. After all, Ling Xiao couldn't remember who he was and needed someone to look after him. Ling Qingwan sprained her foot again.
"I'll go with you." Ling Qingwan suddenly spoke.
After saying that, she limped towards Wei Xun.
Wei Xun was worried about Ling Qingwan, so he quickly grabbed her and carried her on his back.
There were whispers coming from the crowd. Ling Qingwan was extremely shy. She leaned close to Wei Xun's ear and asked him to put her down.
"If you want to follow me, you have to listen to me." Wei Xun not only did not let go, he held Ling Qingwan's hand behind his back even harder.
The town was not big, and the people who came and went were all from nearby villages. The people here were simple and honest, and the people were conservative. They had never seen a man carrying a girl on the street, and they all turned their heads to look at him.
Especially Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan are very good-looking, their looks are unprecedented in Haitang Town.
Ling Qingwan was extremely shy. Her cheeks were burning hot, and she buried her head in Wei Xun's back, not daring to show her face.
Soon they arrived at the government office. Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan were waiting at the door, and the officials they had brought with them bypassed them and went inside to report.
Then, a middle-aged man and an old man came out.
The old man seemed to have seen Wei Xun before, and his eyes were all fixed on Wei Xun, as if he wanted to see through him.
"You are the ones who caused trouble in the restaurant, injuring people and breaking things?" The man should be the county magistrate of Haitang Town. When he spoke, everyone around him, except the old man next to him, was respectful.
"The person who was injured is my good friend, and beating him was just a temporary measure. If we don't subdue him, who knows if he would do something more extreme due to his recklessness. We have already paid double compensation for the things smashed in the restaurant. If you don't believe me, you can go to the restaurant and ask." Wei Xun explained again.
The county magistrate immediately sent someone to call the restaurant owner. After confirming everything, he allowed Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan to leave.
By the time the two returned to the restaurant, more than half an hour had passed.
Just as Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan left, the old man suddenly slapped his head, as if he had thought of something important, and began to tremble all over.
"What's wrong, sir?" Seeing this, several officers couldn't help but worry about the old man.
The county magistrate also came forward and asked the old man with concern.
"Sir, I remember who that young man was just now." The old man's eyes widened, his expression extremely frightened. "I've been to Tokyo City before, and I remember him. I said I thought he looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, I finally remembered him."
Upon hearing Wei Xun's identity, the county magistrate was also shocked.
He never thought that such a big shot would come to Haitang Town.
"Should I go and invite them back now? Or should I go and apologize to them?" the county magistrate asked the old man for his opinion.
"Since the prince has not mentioned his identity just now, he probably doesn't want to make it public. Let's just pretend we don't know." The old man reminded the magistrate.
