Come with Me, Don't Let the Patriarch Coerce You Any Longer!

Wei Yan watched the Lineage's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The Lineage's intention to get Xiao Xueyin closer to A-Ran is far too obvious.

Xiao Xueyin tilted her head slightly, her long, smooth hair flowing over her shoulder.

She raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her beautiful eyes fixed on Nan Xunran, and said softly, "My lords, please follow me."

Having said that, she lifted her skirt and walked forward first, the skirt swaying gently with her steps, creating a rustling effect in the wind.

A moment later, she slowed her pace, quietly approached Nan Xunran, and softly called out, "Young Master."

Nan Xunran glanced sideways and let out a short "hmm".

Xiao Xueyin's eyes were filled with anticipation as she asked, "Young Master, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Tea Sect?"

Never.

Xiao Xueyin's smile froze instantly.

Seeing this, Wei Yan couldn't help but smile.

In the eyes of the Xiao Family, Heavenly Tea Sect was a major sect in the Upper Realm, but to A-Ran, it was nothing more than an ordinary sect that had never been heard of in the Lower Realm.

In Small World like the Heavenly Gate Realm, it is truly difficult to distinguish the various differences found in the Upper Realm.

Xiao Xueyin noticed Wei Yan's smile and felt a pang of embarrassment.

She steadied herself and pondered to herself that these two officials were far more distinguished than she had imagined.

Just as she was about to speak again, she moved a little closer to Nan Xunran, her movements subtle and deliberately suggestive.

Nan Xunran noticed her approach, but his expression remained unchanged; he merely glanced at Wei Yan indifferently.

Wei Yan understood immediately. She moved gracefully to stand in front of Xiao Xueyin, a gentle smile on her face. "Miss Xiao, please lead the way as soon as possible."

Xiao Xueyin was speechless for a moment; the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.

After a moment, she managed to utter a single word. "... Okay."

Stillwater Hall

Wei Yan smiled gently and said, "Let's rest for now."

Xiao Xueyin bit her lower lip, bowed slightly, and said, "If you two gentlemen need anything, please feel free to call me."

Wei Yan turned around, and with a gentle push of her jade-like hand, the palace doors slowly closed.

Xiao Xueyin stood quietly in place, gazing at the tightly closed palace doors, a feeling of indescribable loss welling up in her heart.

She took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in her heart.

Then, she slowly turned around, took light steps, and quietly left.

Not far away, the Lineage eagerly awaited his arrival.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his steps slightly hurried.

At that moment, Xiao Xueyin's figure appeared in his sight.

His gaze immediately focused on her, and he hurriedly asked, "Yin'er, how is she?"

Xiao Xueyin lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids.

She shook her head gently, a hint of helplessness in her gesture.

The Lineage's expression changed instantly, his tension evident. He pressed, "What happened?"

Xiao Xueyin sighed softly, her voice filled with melancholy, and said, "That lord simply doesn't want to say another word to me."

The Lineage relaxed slightly, secretly relieved that he hadn't displeased the two adults.

He raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Xueyin's shoulder, his eyes filled with expectation, and said, "Yin'er, you must try to spend as much time as possible with the adults these next few days."

Xiao Xueyin nodded vigorously and replied, "I understand, clan leader."

Just as they were talking, a guard rushed over.

The guard hurried along, calling out loudly before even getting close, "Chieftain!"

The Lineage frowned and said sternly, "What's the matter with such a panic?"

The guard, panting, replied, "Xiao Chen escaped!"

The Lineage's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "What?! You bunch of useless trash!"

Go find him quickly! We mustn't let him offend the adults!

The guard hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

Night fell, silently swallowing everything.

Xiao Xueyin's room was so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat.

Suddenly, a dark figure sneaked in stealthily.

Xiao Xueyin's eyes narrowed, and she swiftly thrust her short knife at the dark figure, stepping back with her left foot to assume a defensive stance.

She shouted coldly, "Who goes there!"

The shadowy figure paused slightly, then a familiar voice rang out. "Yin'er, it's me!"

Xiao Xueyin's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Brother Chen?"

She quickly withdrew the dagger that was about to pierce Xiao Chen and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Chen looked anxious and rushed to Xiao Xueyin, grabbing her hand tightly.

He was breathing heavily, his breathing erratic, and said urgently, "There's no time for further explanation, Yin'er, come with me!"

After saying that, he forcefully pulled on Xiao Xueyin's hand, intending to take her away.

Xiao Xueyin frowned, her feet not moving an inch, and asked in confusion, "Go? Where to?"

A flicker of pain crossed Xiao Chen's eyes as he said urgently, "Anywhere is fine, just don't let the clan leader coerce you again!"
