Upon hearing what Shangguan Hao said, Xi'er's face instantly darkened.
"You... I won't allow you to talk about my Brother Su Mo like that."
Xi'er felt furious. Anyone that insulted Su Mo made her upset.
Shangguan Hao lifted his eyebrows as he never thought that Xi'er cared about this native so much.
"Lady, our master orders us to take you back no matter what happens," said the 13th Elder. Since the master made such an order, he would bring Xi'er back even against her will.
"Brother Su Mo!"
Xi'er anxiously looked at Su Mo.
"Xi'er, don't worry!"
Su Mo patted her on her hands and said, "As long as I'm here, nobody will take you away."
Su Mo was very glad that Xi'er could find her biological parents. If she would like to accompany her parents, he would, of course, not stop her. However, since she was unwilling to go back, he would definitely protect her.
