It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

In other words, how could such a powerful person be willing to be used by him? !

She felt a little unbalanced when she thought that Xu Shi’s abilities had nothing to do with combat.

Why is the gap between people so big?

Just when she was still a little dizzy, Xia Wuyou suddenly stopped attacking, pulled back, and stood in front of her again.

"Xia...Master's Wife?"

Dongfang Xiao asked subconsciously, "You are..."

She wanted to say, could it be that you can't bear it anymore?

This kind of thing is very easy to see. Even though no one seems to be injured after fighting for so long, the consumption caused by activating the ability cannot be faked.

Cheng Gujian's condition is obviously better, this is an undeniable fact.

It also instantly extinguished the little queen's hope that she had finally ignited.

"Well, he is indeed stronger than me. If this drags on, I will definitely lose."

Faced with her question, Xia Xiaomao admitted it generously.

It is certainly not shameful for S-level, or S+, to be unable to beat SS. You may feel unwilling to accept the result, but the only solution is to train hard and make up for the gap as soon as possible. It is of no use to be stubborn.

"Then let's..."

Dongfang Xiao didn't have as good of a mentality as her, he was just panicking.

This is not a fight, there is no such thing as a limit.

If you can't bear it, then won't our ending still be death?

"Do not be afraid."

Xia Wuyou smiled, "I didn't expect to be able to get rid of him by myself, and I'm not the one who can get rid of him."

"Who else could it be?"

The little queen was confused. No one in Xu Shi’s team is better at fighting than you.

"Who...Here he comes."

Xia Xiaomao was about to explain, but when she looked at the entrance of the hall, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and pointed in that direction.

"Mr. Wen, please."

Chapter 300: Woohoo, I miss Sister Xie's first day

2023-10-25

"?!"

Cheng Gujian had his back to the door and only turned around hurriedly when he heard Xia Wuyou's words.

There was only one old man in sight.

An old man in a wheelchair.

The old man was alone, with his legs covered with a blanket, and looked quite small in the huge palace.

At first glance, he even looks like an old widower, somewhat pitiful.

But when he saw him, Cheng Gujian felt a little nervous.

When did this person appear? I didn't notice him at all just now!

With his level, he had no idea at all. Either the opponent was really dying and posed no threat, or he was really stronger than him.

To be stronger than him, what level does that require?

Cheng Gujian was absolutely unwilling to think in this direction, but the latter possibility was definitely higher - because the old man's appearance here was itself a strange enough thing.

Xia Wuyou had come to the palace to ambush early in the morning, so her appearance was certainly not a surprise. Even when Cheng Gujian just entered the palace, he sensed her presence.

But this old man is not like that! It is obvious that he came here through the layers of blockades outside the palace gate. If he is really just an ordinary old man, how could he do this?

He would have been chopped into meat paste by the guards outside the door!

and so.

He froze in place for a moment, not quite sure what to do.

"...Xia family girl, what did you call me?"

At this moment, Wen Shengkui spoke first, and seemed very dissatisfied with Xia Wuyou's address, and frowned with displeasure.

"Mr. Wen...ah no no no, grandpa, grandpa."

Xia Xiaomao came to her senses and quickly waved her hand to change her words. While Cheng Gujian was down, she came up behind him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"You think I want to come?"

Old Master Wen was still furious, and he muttered angrily, "That bastard Xu Shi is quite capable of causing trouble. He caused such a big mess that he couldn't take care of it himself, so I have to clean up his mess, right?"

"Yes, yes, he did go a little too far."

Xia Wuyou smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you, old man. I apologize to you on his behalf."

At least you can send someone to take care of it from time to time!

No matter how powerful the elderly person is, it is rude to let him come alone!

"Um...Mrs. Xia, who is this?"

Dongfang Xiao came to his senses after realizing it belatedly, "It's...your grandpa?"

"...To be precise, it's Xu Shi's grandfather."

Xia Wuyou looked back and smiled, explaining in a good mood.

However, given her relationship with Xu Shi, it is certainly not wrong to call him grandpa.

"Oh……"

The little queen nodded woodenly, and realized that even when she was facing Cheng Gujian just now, she still gave people a feeling of being fearless.

Obviously, it was because she already knew that she still had someone to rely on, even though this old man did not look very strong.

Wow, there are other experts?

What she didn't know was that at first Xia Wuyou actually didn't know Wen Shengkui would come.

Or perhaps before the fight today, Xu Shi didn't even tell her what the specific plan was - at that time he was still at odds with Xie Qingyan, and neither side knew what he was planning, and she was just arranged to go to the palace to ensure Dongfang Xiao's safety.

It was not until the battle at the Vatican ended that she realized that it was not only cargo ships that came to the dock, but also reserve reinforcements from Night Sin City, such as Su Lin and Tang Shuang. Otherwise, things over there would not have been able to be resolved so easily and quickly.

It was also from that time that she started to wonder if her grandfather would come as well.

This is almost a foregone conclusion. After all, if she relies on herself alone, it will be completely impossible for her to compete with Cheng Gujian if something really happens to the royal family.

Even if they join forces, they may not be able to succeed, given the opponent's strength.

In this case, if one wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take over the entire Hualan Empire, one must at least have an SS-level person in charge.

This was not a lack of trust in Xia Wuyou, but to ensure that everything was foolproof.

She can't be a SS like Xia Ke'an. How can an old lady fight? She's more of a mascot than a mascot.

After much thought, Wen Shengkui is probably the only one who meets the requirements - now that the crisis of the Holy See has been resolved, he will naturally come here to eliminate the threat of Cheng Gujian.

Having been with Xu Shi for so long, Xia Xiaomao understood all these things very clearly.

Of course the little queen couldn't think so deeply, but she also reacted thoroughly.

Although it seemed that Master Xia and Cheng Gujian fought fiercely just now, it was actually more of a competition. It was obvious that she did not expect to defeat Cheng Gujian from the beginning, and she wanted to improve herself more by fighting with SS.

"You fought well. It seems that you have made great progress in the past year or so at sea."

Wen Shengkui also commented on her fight. Although she was not there, with his ability, it was easy for him to watch a remote live broadcast. "That little bastard Xu Shi can't fight. I feel relieved that you are protecting him."

"But there are still areas that need improvement, such as..."

"Ah, hahaha, is that so..."

Xia Wuyou was overjoyed when he heard this, and scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, "Actually, what I have done is still not enough..."

It's no wonder that she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. It might be harder to hear a word of praise from Mr. Wen than to hear Xu Shi praise her.

Not to mention what this is, this is recognition from the elders!

Can someone else do it? No!

Xia Xiaomao, who has always been humble and introverted, was rarely proud.

After this battle is over, I must show off in front of those other little cookies!

I am the first granddaughter-in-law to be officially recognized!

hum!

Unfortunately, this happy atmosphere was soon interrupted by the sound of Cheng Gujian grinding his teeth.

Duke Gu Jian lived in Bengbu.

To be honest, as a Grand Duke who holds a high position in the government, he has mastered the skill of not showing his emotions over the years. Even if someone forces him to abdicate and rebel, you may not be able to see any expression on his face.

But now he is really a little bit defensive.

It was fine that Dongfang Xiao pointed at your nose and cursed at you just now, but what are you doing now?

If you don’t know, you might think it’s a family reunion! Are they going to have a meal together later?

I! am rebelling!

No one takes it seriously, right?

I don’t want to lose face?

"I forgot that I had something important to do."

The grinding sound successfully attracted Wen Shengkui's attention, and he gestured to Xia Wuyou, "Xia family girl, you protect that little girl first."

"I'll go find that brat Xu Shi after I've cleaned up this place. Let me make it clear that you can't interfere while I teach him a lesson."
