Comparison Is Deadly
Xiao Yun immediately looked at Li Yanhao as if he was looking at an idiot. This guy came to steal credit, hoping to be the one to rescue Su Lanxiang and show off in front of Su Li!
But Xiao Zetian didn't even raise an eyelid upon hearing Li Yanhao's words, showing no reaction at all.
"You really think this bunch of trash can stop the master and me?" Xiao Yun looked at him like he was joking.
Li Yanhao's face lost some dignity and he snorted lightly. Then Xiao Zetian snapped his fingers, and suddenly, from nowhere, over a hundred black-clad men appeared, each carrying a long sword on their back and holding a crossbow aimed at Li Yanhao's guards. At Xiao Zetian's command, all of Li Yanhao's men would become corpses within a second.
"Young Lord, I don't have time to mess around with you," Xiao Zetian said coldly, then suddenly leapt up, effortlessly jumping onto the high roof and disappearing in a flash.
Ten of those black-clad guards followed Xiao Zetian, running swiftly and in perfect coordination, clearly highly trained experts.
Li Yanhao slapped his thigh excitedly, looking at the group he brought. Compared to Xiao Zetian's men, they were nothing but a disorganized rabble!
So embarrassing, it was mortifying!
While Li Yanhao was frustrated, Xiao Yun wore a look of "See? See? You brought this on yourself," clearly enjoying the show.
"Young Lord, these young girls are in your hands to rescue," Xiao Yun said with a cheerful pat on Li Yanhao's shoulder.
Li Yanhao's face instantly darkened. He had come to take credit, not to clean up the battlefield!
Xiao Yun was about to put Luo Luo down, but she clung tightly to his neck, refusing to let go. "Big brother, are you going to leave Luo Luo again?"
"Big brother has important matters to attend to, not abandoning you. You’ll follow this Young Lord, he’ll take you home," Xiao Yun patiently explained.
"I... I don’t want to go home. I have no home... my family is all dead, only my father is left. If he sees me, he’ll sell me again..." Tears streamed down Luo Luo’s big eyes.
Xiao Yun sighed, gently stroking Luo Luo’s hair. The little girl was too young to understand what was happening to her, unaware of the meaning behind what the fat man did to her. Now, she only saw him as her savior and relied on him deeply.
Xiao Yun thought for a moment, waved his hand, and a head of the secret guards came down. Xiao Yun said, "Take this little girl Luo Luo back to the organization and take good care of her."
"Yes, sir," the secret guard leader respectfully cupped his fists.
Xiao Yun crouched down and seriously said to Luo Luo, "You’ll go back with this brother. He will teach you skills. You’ll never be sold again. I haven’t abandoned you. I’ll come see you regularly. From now on, you’re my subordinate, understand?"
Luo Luo was confused but heard Xiao Yun say he hadn’t abandoned her and would visit regularly. The little girl instantly brightened and smiled, "Luo Luo will listen and learn skills well."
"Good child, go now," Xiao Yun waved his hand. The secret guard leader carried Luo Luo, leapt up the wall, and in an instant, the Xiao family’s secret guards disappeared like a tide, as if they had never appeared.
Li Yanhao watched dumbfounded. These secret guards were so well-trained, even the palace guards weren’t as strong as them.
Xiao Yun turned to leave and head to meet Xiao Zetian but was grabbed by Li Yanhao on the shoulder.
Li Yanhao smiled like a flower, extremely enthusiastic, his gaze practically devouring Xiao Yun.
