Chen Chen’s eyes lit up, and he licked his lips: “Haha, so it seems, am I going to die surrounded by women then…”
After settling Chenchen, Ji Ruxue desperately smashed things in the hall, venting her anger.
There was no other way for her to vent her emotions.
“Palace Master, can that fellow really help us Red Lotus Palace fight against the Zuo Chong? I don’t think he seems reliable at all.”
A certain elder said with some puzzlement.
“Yeah, I don’t think much of that guy either. He gives me the creeps with those leering eyes. I just want to gouge them out!”
Another elder also said angrily.
Ji Ru Xue calmed down and slowly said, “Right now, we can only pin our hopes on him. Remember my words, when things get critical, take Xiao Min and run, don’t worry about me…”
“I won’t leave my sister behind, walking alone…”
At this moment, Xiao Min suddenly burst in, looking at Ji Ru Xue with tear-filled eyes.
Ji Ru Xue saw Xiao Min rush in and learn everything that had happened. She then waved her hand, dismissing the several elders.
“Xiao Min, don’t be willful. Sister did this to protect the Red Lotus Palace. As long as you are alive and have the palace master’s order, you can rebuild the Red Lotus Palace.”
Ji Ru Xue walked forward and gently wiped Xia Min’s tears.
“No, I would never abandon my sister. If we are going to die, we will die together. Without my sister, I wouldn’t be able to live.”
Xiaomin threw herself into Ji Ruxue’s arms.
“Silly child, you’re growing up now. It’s not the same without your older sister.”
Ji Ru Xue also cried, she too wished to accompany her younger sister. She also knew Xiao Min was still young, and leaving her would surely make life difficult.
But he had no choice but to make the worst-case plan.
“Sister, where’s Brother Chen? Where did he go?”
At this time, Xiaomin thought of Chen Ping and asked Ji Ruxue.
He must have left Honglian Palace long ago…
Ji Ru Xue had sent Chen Ping away at that time, and now she should have left Honglian Palace long ago.
“No way, I’ve been guarding the palace gate and haven’t seen Big Brother Chen leave. He might still be in Honglian Palace!”
“Brother Chen is skilled, so isn’t it possible to ask him for help?”
Xiaomin asked.
Ji Ru Xue chuckled awkwardly: “Silly girl, it’s not as simple as you think. Not everyone is as innocent as you imagine. Outsiders wouldn’t just help someone they don’t know.”
Moreover, although Chen Ping has made a name for himself in Kyoto and is quite capable, this is the South after all. With Xiang Chong behind him and the support of the Shengshou Palace, would Chen Ping dare to go against them?
Ji Ru Xue said this, Xiao Min fell into silence. She didn’t know if Chen Ping would help.
After a while, Xiaomin suddenly said, “I’m going to look for Brother Chen. He must still be at Honglian Palace. Maybe he will really help us…”
After Xiaomin finished speaking, she ran out. Ji Ruxue wanted to stop her, but found that Xiaomin had already run away.
“This foolish girl, so easily trusting…”
Ji Ru Xue shook her head.
…………
The next day, everyone at Red Lotus Palace wore expressions of seriousness and tension.
Every person was on high alert, holding their weapons tightly.
They are waiting for the arrival of the charging!
Life or death, it all depends on today.
And Chenchen, with the sun already high in the sky, yawned and walked out of the room.
Just as he stepped out of the room, he saw Ji Ruxue waiting for him at the door with a group of people.
“Princess Ji, don’t worry. I said that Honglian Palace would be fine, and it will definitely be fine!”
Chen Chen said with confidence.
Then, I’ll have to trouble Master Chen…
Seeing Chen Chen’s continued confidence, Ji Ruxue also believed him a little, and her heart eased somewhat.
