After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Sheng Xi reluctantly said goodbye to the father and son, and then turned around to see Xin Yu walking towards him.

Sheng Xi said, "Xin Yu, you'd never guess whose little baby that was just now is."

Xin Yu: "I won't guess. I'm going back now, you should go home soon too."

Sheng Xi: ? ? ?

Dude, why don't you play by the rules?

Sheng Xi cleared her throat. "He's Tang An's younger brother. We didn't know he had a younger brother before."

Sheng Xi took Xin Yu's hand and said, "That uncle is Tang An's younger brother. He said they've already brought Tang An's father back to his father's house. Even if Tang An's father gets out of prison, he won't be able to bully them anymore."

The previous class brawl happened after they discovered Tang An's father acting like a thug, beating his own husband and child.

The young people were filled with righteous indignation; how could they stand by and watch their classmate get beaten up?

Because Xinyu was slow in everything she did, always a step behind everyone else, she wasn't cornered in the yard by Tang An's father.

That's when they found an opportunity to call for reinforcements.

"Okay, I understand," Xinyu said. "You should go home now."

Sheng Xi: "No, I want to come to your house to play. Please invite me."

Xin Yu: "What are you doing at my house?"

Sheng Xi released Xin Yu's hand, cupped her face, and said dreamily, "Of course it's for your brother."

Xin Yu was annoyed. "He doesn't like you like this."

"I'm sure I'll grow up to be very beautiful, and your brother will definitely like me," Sheng Xi said. "Everyone has praised me as a beauty since I was little."

Xin Yuxin said: It's very beautiful.

"He doesn't like people who only get five points on math tests," Xin Yu said quietly.

Sheng Xi: "..."

Sheng Xi covered her face and cried, "Waaah!"

Xinyu couldn't stand seeing him cry, so she quickly said, "I'll invite you to my house to play, please stop crying."

Sheng Xi's expression changed instantly. "Since you've sincerely invited me, I can only reluctantly agree."

Xin Yu sighed helplessly. Suddenly, he noticed that the soil under the willow tree seemed to have moved.

Is it just an illusion?

Xin Yu stared at that piece of land for a while longer, but nothing happened.

Sheng Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Xin Yu shook her head, but suddenly saw something about to break through the soil.

In the blink of an eye, a small figure emerged from the ground.

Xin Yu couldn't see clearly what the figure was holding, but she felt as if a flash of silver light had passed by.

It looks like some kind of blade.

"Watch out!" The moment he pushed Sheng Xi away, he was grabbed by the throat by a figure that suddenly rushed over.

Xin Yu only felt a momentary difficulty breathing before his brother descended from the sky and kicked away the figure restraining him.

"what!"

All these changes happened too quickly. Someone shouted, and suddenly the entire school gate was in chaos.

As people came and went, Jiang Xiao threw away the lamb skewers in her hand and quickly pulled Xin Yu to the side of the road to prevent him from being knocked down.

Sheng Xi was still shaken. He ran to Jiang Xiao and Xin Yu, asking, "Who was that?"

Jiang Xiao and Xin Yu shook their heads.

On the other side, the figure was kicked and slammed to the ground.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the figure was short, and although not tall, its bones were unusually large and wide.

He's a dwarf!

"Mind your own business." The dwarf brandished his weapon, and a silver glint appeared in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a strange weapon. When put together, it resembled a shovel, and when separated into three parts, it became a broadsword.

"You are..." Lin Siheng asked, "a burrowing rat?"

"It's your grandpa here, kid. You dare to meddle in other people's business? You'd better die."

Lin Siheng suddenly realized, "I didn't expect it really was the Sky-Gazing Tower."

The burrowing rat rushed over, its weapon opening and closing several times in an instant, and the metallic friction of rapidly spinning gears could be heard.

Lin Siheng drew his sword and casually tossed the scabbard aside.

The metal clanged as it clashed. In the back-and-forth exchange, the burrowing rat realized it was outmatched and tried to escape by digging a hole down into the ground.

His intentions were noticed by Lin Siheng. The Yellow Spring Sword immediately turned frosty and stabbed, cutting the burrowing rat's arm and stopping him from digging.

Sheng Xi felt like he was seeing double, but that didn't stop him from swooning, "So handsome..."

Only Jiang Xiao was extremely worried.

He still has a wound on his shoulder!

This person doesn't know how to cherish himself!

"Yellow Spring Sword...you are Guishan Yellow Spring!" The Earth-Earing Rat clutched its injured arm and retreated several feet, no longer willing to fight, and jumped into the city river to escape.

Although he knew the man was a wanted criminal by the imperial court, Lin Siheng did not pursue him.

He can't catch up with him anymore.

The wound reopened.

When Lin Siheng came over, Jiang Xiao keenly sensed a bloody smell.

He didn't know whether the smell of blood came from the dwarf or from the wound on his shoulder.

He quickly stepped forward to help Lin Siheng up, "Are you alright?"

Lin Siheng refused, patted the back of his hand to reassure him, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Xin Yu," Lin Siheng began to order his loyal servant, "go and fetch my sword sheath."

Xin Yu ran over and painstakingly retrieved it.

The scabbard was also heavy, especially for a scholar who was too weak to even kill a chicken.

But for Lin Siheng, this weight was negligible.

He held the sword in his right hand, trying his best not to move his left hand, lest the wound on his shoulder reopen.

Jiang Xiao originally thought that people in the martial arts world used sword sheaths only once, and would just throw them away and buy new ones.

I didn't expect I'd have to pick it up myself.

It seems that being a chivalrous hero isn't as glamorous as one might imagine.

At least he was in a sorry state when he picked up the sword sheath.

The Yellow Springs are sheathed, and the frost and cold have all retreated.

Sheng Xi was completely captivated. "Brother Lin, you're so amazing!"

Xin Yu swore he had never heard Sheng Xi speak so gently in his entire life.

Lin Siheng nodded slightly and said modestly, "It's alright, just average, not very impressive."

Sheng Xi was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Brother Lin, my family's carriage is just ahead. I'll take you home."

"Okay." Lin Siheng asked, "Who are you?"

Sheng Xi blinked, clearly not quite understanding.

Xin Yu subtly pushed Sheng Xi away from her brother, saying, "His father is the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

"No wonder... that shorty is probably eyeing you. Be careful lately," Lin Siheng said.

Sheng Xi looked somewhat bewildered. "I didn't offend him. I don't even know him."

Xin Yu said, "He's a wanted criminal by the imperial court; the arrest warrant was issued by the Court of Judicial Review. It's obvious he holds a grudge against your father and wants to use you to get revenge on him."

Sheng Xi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Xin Yu said, "Remember to bring a bodyguard when you go out in the future."

Sheng Xi nodded, "Then I'll just stay home. He can't possibly come to my house."

"Not necessarily. Remember to talk to your father about this and ask him to set up defenses," Lin Siheng said.

Sheng Xi immediately turned into a sweet little girl, "Mmm, I'll listen to whatever you say, brother."

Xin Yu: "..."
