Chương 5: Chapter 5 Salvation (1)_1
In the middle of the road, a pale, emaciated girl stood blocking the way, while facing her were dozens of tall horses… and upon their backs, dozens of burly men clad in a menacing aura.
These people filled Mo Yan with dread, but at this moment, the safety of her family was of utmost importance. She mustered her courage and looked up, only to find herself lost in a pair of deep, ink-like eyes—
He was slender and elegantly unruffled, as serene as a deity!
Mo Yan stared blankly at the man who seemed like an immortal from a painting, momentarily forgetting her fear. The phrase "slender and elegantly unruffled, as serene as a deity" popped into her head, but as she met his soul-captivating gaze, she felt that even the most beautiful poetry would be a blasphemy against him!
Xiao Ruiyuan knitted his brows, his eyes as dark as lacquer coldly observing the girl who rushed in front of him. He was not the first to be stared at in this manner; there had been those who were amazed, those who tried to ingratiate themselves, those with schemes... yet none had been as foolish as her. Could she really be an idiot?
Xiao Eleven had the same thought as his master, and his initially impatient expression turned to one of pity.
If Mo Yan had the ability to read minds and knew what the master and servant were thinking, she would definitely retort with hands on hips: You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots!
Mo Yan wasn't actually infatuated, it was just that the original owner of her body had been famished to a serious degree, causing even her own reactions to be slow. Being momentarily dazzled by beauty was just a minute's matter; she hadn't forgotten her purpose for stopping them.
"Kind sirs, this girl means no disrespect in blocking your path. It's just that my family has encountered a band of evil men who wish to capture my younger brother and sister to cook and eat them. They were too powerful for me to stop, so I had no choice but to resort to this. I beg for your understanding and assistance to save us!"
Mo Yan didn't dare delay, she blurted out her plea in one breath. She anxiously watched the handsome man, who was clearly the leader, uncertain if in this age where life was as cheap as grass, he would come to their aid or... simply ignore them!
However, every time she caught sight of the man's cold eyes, she was cowed by his presence. She found herself involuntarily looking away, thinking to herself, Could this be the legendary air of dominance?
Xiao Ruiyuan's brows moved slightly, he remained silent but didn't ride away.
Xiao Eleven understood his master's thoughts. Although his master might seem icy and ruthless, that was only towards certain individuals. When it came to harmless commoners, his master was indeed tolerant. This girl had run up, pleading for help in a heinous situation; surely, his master would not stand by idly.
With this thought, he spoke up, "Do not fret, Miss. I will have some men accompany you to rescue your family right away!" After speaking, he signaled to the men behind him, and immediately five burly men rode out.
Mo Yan had not expected that they would agree so readily to help. Overjoyed, she quickly thanked the handsome man, "Thank you for your assistance, sir. I have nothing to repay you with. If by chance we meet again in the future, I shall surely express my gratitude!"
How could his men dare to take action without the handsome man's approval?
Although the handsome man still had an icy face, as if he was saying "strangers, keep out," Mo Yan felt he was the typical type with a cold exterior but a warm heart, far better than those who were warm on the surface but deceptively dangerous behind your back.
Xiao Ruiyuan wouldn't take the promise of a green girl to heart, yet as he looked at the girl's sincere and earnest eyes, he found himself unconsciously nodding in agreement.
Xiao Eleven caught the moment, his expression turning mischievous.
Noticing the look from his subordinate, Xiao Ruiyuan casually glanced his way.
Xiao Eleven shrank his neck and turned his head to address Mo Yan with a wooden face, "Lead the way, Miss. We will follow you!"
