Because he recognized those eyes, this really was his Senior Brother.
"Senior Brother!"
But the man seed not to recognize Song Ye at all. As Song Ye rushed towards him, he chanically raised his own arm, his palm visibly coated with an unnatural layer of black.
"Pfft."
Song Ye watched in startled amazent as his Senior Brother's fingernails, long and sharp, penetrated into his shoulder, blood splattering out.
Right next to him was Yun Ran, her face full of regret: "Look at you, you've been a cop for so long, how could you not dodge an attack like that!"
If it wasn't for her tily intervention, Song Ye could have kissed his shoulder goodbye.
The police who had followed him over had now rushed in too, all their guns were uniformly aid at Yun Ran and that foul-slling, rigorously wrapped-up man.
Yun Ran: ...
In her whole life, she had never been so speechless—after all, she used to be a master renowned over half the street!
Now she was being treated as a suspect for the first ti!
Feeling wronged, she gave Song Ye a look; she now really felt like even if she were all mouth, she still couldn't explain herself clear.
Just then, another group of well-dressed n suddenly appeared, followed by an extrely handso young man, his face a little pale, looking as if he were at death's door.
This made Yun Ran give a few more glances, and then she suddenly understood.
No wonder when she was divining vitality earlier, the divination signs were so strange—it turned out to be about this man.
"Who are you, step back at once!"
Yun Ran withdrew her gaze, but couldn't help saying, "Let's all relax a little, it's all small stuff, certainly don't be nervous, otherwise a misfire would be troubleso."
The n in suits, seeing such a tense scene, imdiately revealed the totems on their bodies: "We are people of the Xie Family."
At this statent, the policen following them clearly relaxed, but they still watched Yun Ran cautiously.
This blatant differential treatnt caused Yun Ran to frown slightly, then she quietly asked Ginsengfruit: "What's the Xie Family's background?"
[In this novel, the Xie Family, the Wang Family, the Zhou Family, and the Murong Family, collectively known as the Four Great Families of Kyoto, are all huge clans that have passed on their legacies for hundreds of years, with overwhelming authority.
Let's put it this way, the Yun Family that your stepfather belongs to may be able to bluff people in Hai City, but compared to the Four Great Families, they are like ants on the ground, understand?]
Yun Ran speechlessly: "Who could notice these people amongst a thousand and more Chapters of dragging plot."
Seeing that the other party rely revealed their identity as the Xie Family, without even clarifying whether they're from a side branch or the direct branch, yet they were treated with such politeness, Yun Ran couldn't help feeling a touch of sourness inside.
"We will take this man away."
Song Ye bore the intense pain from his shoulder; even though the people in front of him were from the Xie Family, he was reluctant to let them take his Senior Brother away.
He hurriedly objected: "No way!"
The Xie Family people, acknowledging their own identity, had already shown them a lot of face. Seeing that Song Ye was being so unappreciative, they naturally didn't plan to pay him any attention.
Just then, one of them took out a silver-white whip, ready to move forward and bind Song Ye's Senior Brother.
"They can't take my Senior Brother away!"
Yun Ran looked at Song Ye who was gazing at her full of hope, and rolled her eyes. Wasn't he just doubting her earlier? But now when facing the Xie Family, he wants her to step in!
Indeed, it was because of her mistake that Song Ye ended up injured by the person in front of them, who was obviously turned into a Puppet, leaving her feeling a tiny bit guilty.
But she still turned around and said to the extrely good-looking man: "I need to talk to you!"
The police officers behind her, seeing Yun Ran speak so rudely to soone from the Xie Family, couldn't help but want to step forward and cover Yun Ran's mouth, thinking she really was a fearless calf that doesn't fear the tiger.
The young man, catching Yun Ran's straightforward gaze, naturally understood that she was speaking to him, completely unaffected by his presence.
From birth, he was fated to be a calamity to others. Whether it was nannies, servants, relatives, or even the dogs in the yard, anyone who ca in contact with him either fell ill or got injured, and in serious cases, they might even lose their lives.
Even strangers couldn't look him in the eye for too long; there had been soone who, because of his face, took a few extra glances and then started having endless nightmares and developed a deep-seated fear.
Xie Xuzhi's gaze turned amused: "Sure."
Yun Ran stepped forward directly, startling the boastful mbers of the Xie Family; they hadn't expected this young lady to be so brash.
But as they observed Yun Ran approaching closer without nosebleeds or tripping over, their expressions subtly changed.
"You're capturing this living dead Puppet because you want to find the person behind him and have your Life Chart broken, don't you?"
Xie Xuzhi's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Who exactly are you!"
It was only then that he rembered that this young girl had grabbed the arm of the living dead Puppet with her bare hands, where his own people would need to use a special Magic Artifact to dare touch it.
"I can protect you from the effects of your Life Chart for half a year; in exchange, hand this person over to , how about that!"
Yun Ran reluctantly took out a small, unimpressive-looking black bead and placed it in his hand.
The mont Xie Xuzhi's hand touched the bead, his body, which had been devoid of warmth for a long ti, suddenly felt a long-missed warmth.
This was sothing even Master Ming Yuan of the Red Mountain Temple couldn't achieve.
His gaze analyzed her with scrutiny, but his facial expression remained unchanged, clearly a person of great depth.
"Fine, I'll hand the person over to you!"
Before long, the Xie Family mbers had vanished cleanly, as if they had never appeared before.
"Captain, how are you feeling!"
Watching the police officers chatteringly show concern for Song Ye and conveniently transport the subdued Puppet onto the vehicle.
[Host, what did you give him? It actually increased a bit of rit!]
"Heavenly Thunder Pearl, now I'm curious as to who this person really is. Why is it that saving him accumulates rit? Is it just because he's from the Xie Family?
If he hadn't t , he would have at most 7 days of life remaining. The Divination before showed my vitality was related to Song Ye; I thought it was his righteousness that could bless .
Turns out, Song Ye was rely a stepping stone for to et this person."
[Never mind all that; just focus on staying alive for now!]
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow; true enough.
But before she left, she turned her head to look in the direction where the Xie Family mbers had departed.
At this mont, they were also discussing the recent events: "Young Master, he was our last hope, and yet you just gave up..."
"Perhaps, what Master Ming Yuan said before about catching up to this person for the last hope had a different aning!"
The subordinates were sowhat puzzled, but they were genuinely concerned about the Young Master's health.
