Xiao Mengxuan looked at Lu Chen carefully, even though he was covered in blood and looked miserable.
But the transcendent temperament exuded by the whole person is impossible to ignore.
If he had freshened up a little and dressed up, he would definitely be an aristocratic young master. He was only afraid of getting into trouble outside, which would lead to him looking like this.
"Sir, may I ask your surname?" Xiao Mengxuan asked in a calm tone.
Lu Chen sat on the chair and smiled calmly: "Lu Chen, stay away from the world."
"Lu Chen? It turns out he is the young master of the Lu family." Xiao Mengxuan muttered it softly, and then said warmly: "I think the young master is seriously injured. Do you want a doctor to treat you?"
"My injuries cannot be cured by ordinary people." Lu Chen smiled bitterly, recalling his own experience, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Xiao Mengxuan's beautiful eyes turned, and she frowned and said: "Really? I think the young master's injury is very serious, but please don't be polite."
"Thank you for your kindness. If you really want to help me, I would like to rest here for a few more days. Is that possible?" Lu Chen said helplessly.
He is very unfamiliar with the environment of the Canglan land and has no relatives or friends. Now it is really difficult for him to find a place to stay and settle down.
"This...!" Xiao Mengxuan frowned slightly, a little embarrassed by Lu Chen's request.
Lu Chen said calmly: "Don't worry, I have no hostility towards you, and don't worry that I am a spy of the hostile force. My coming here is purely an accident."
"In the whole world, the people who can drive me are probably not born yet. Even the so-called Helian family, I have never taken it seriously. Don't worry about this."
"As for why I was injured, it's not convenient to tell you now."
"When the time is right, I will naturally tell the truth."
When Xiao Mengxuan heard Lu Chen's voice, a flash of surprise flashed through his beautiful eyes. This young man in black robe was so shameless that even the Helian family didn't take him seriously.
I don’t know if he really has this confidence or if he is just an exaggerated person.
But no matter what, this person's origin is unknown, but he easily defeated his brother and a group of elite guards even though he was seriously injured. His strength is extraordinary, so don't offend him rashly.
Xiao Mengxuan's expression was calm, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he looked indescribably good-looking.
The light of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he said calmly: "Master Lu is honest and generous, and Meng Xuan admires him."
"Since the young master is going to stay for a few days, Mengxuan will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest. If the reception is not good, please forgive me."
When Lu Chen heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Thank you very much, Miss Xiao, for your kindness. I will remember this favor for the time being. If one day, Miss Xiao needs anything, Lu Chen will definitely do his best to help."
"No need, we met by chance, and we probably won't have any interactions in the future. Young master needs to recover from his injuries." Xiao Mengxuan glanced at Lu Chen, who looked haggard, with an indifferent expression.
She didn't understand at all how valuable the favor Lu Chen owed her was.
When Lu Chen heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the other party, sighing secretly. This woman has a beautiful face that can bring disaster to the country and the people. Unfortunately, she is too arrogant.
Are these common problems among children of wealthy families?
"Aren't you afraid that I will do something evil to you?" Chase Lu teased.
Xiao Mengxuan's beautiful eyes flashed with a glint, and she said calmly: "If you wanted to do something evil to me, Mr. Lu should have done it long ago, why wait until now."
"Besides, Mr. Lu, you just passed by here by chance. Your younger brother discovered you and invited you here."
"You and I have no grievances, so how can we say that we are plotting evil intentions?"
"What's more, I'm taking the young master now as a favor."
"I believe that the young master will not be that kind of ungrateful person."
Lu Chen's mouth curled up and he said, "Miss Xiao is right. It's very inconvenient for Mr. Lu right now, so I'll just bother you for a few days."
"It's okay. This is just a manor of mine. It is usually used as a place for vacation and entertainment. Although the young master will recover from his injuries, his food, clothing, housing and transportation will be arranged properly. As long as you don't cause trouble for no reason, no one here will do anything to you."
"Besides, I won't stay here for too long." Xiao Mengxuan elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this and didn't understand what she meant.
Xiao Mengxuan immediately shouted to the guard outside the door: "Here comes someone."
Hearing Xiao Mengxuan's voice, two white-clothed guards walked in from the corridor outside. Xiao Mengxuan exhaled: "Listen, I tell everyone in the manor that from now on, Mr. Lu is my guest, and you must treat him well."
, don’t neglect your distinguished guest, do you understand?”
When the two guards in white heard what the eldest lady said, they couldn't help but froze and looked at each other. They had just drawn their swords at the young man in black, but in the blink of an eye, the eldest lady was so polite to him.
What was going on? Could it be that the eldest lady was being coerced, but when they looked up and saw that the eldest lady was calm and composed, it didn't look like she was being coerced, and both of them looked confused.
"Didn't you hear that?" Xiao Mengxuan said coldly.
When the two white-clothed guards heard this, they quickly raised their hands and clasped their fists: "Yes, Miss!"
Then he turned towards Lu Chen and said extremely politely: "Sir, please."
Lu Chen glanced at the upright, elegant and moving figure with interest. She was really an interesting woman. With a few words, she could turn each other's enemies into friends.
She is calm, calm and generous in dealing with things. This woman is not only smart and witty, but also possesses the courage to hold a high position.
Not simple!
He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiao, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful."
After saying that, he left the attic with the two guards in white.
After Lu Chen left, the handsome young man who had been knocked out before walked in with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
He angrily said to Xiao Mengxuan: "Sister, what's going on?"
Xiao Mengxuan was holding a thread-bound book, sitting upright and without raising his head, he said, "What's going on?"
"Sister, this guy has unknown origins and even injured me. Instead of asking anyone to catch him, you treated him as a guest of honor. Little brother, I really can't understand." The handsome young man said with a sullen face and gritted teeth.
Xiao Mengxuan exhaled like blue: "This is the reason why you are angry. Then let me ask you, where did you find him before?"
"Near the east lakeside." Xiao Hao, a handsome young man, said directly without thinking about it.
Xiao Mengxuan said again: "Then why do you want to arrest him? He has offended you?"
"No, I saw that he was sneaking around, acting suspiciously, and was seriously injured, so I wanted to capture him and bring him back for interrogation." Xiao Haobai said with a gloomy expression.
Xiao Mengxuan said calmly: "Did you find anything suspicious about him?"
"Well, that's not true." Xiao Haobai was silenced by his sister's three consecutive questions.
"In that case, why do you think he is a spy sent by the Helian family?"
"How can you determine that he has evil intentions based on your own words?"
Xiao Haobai said anxiously: "If he doesn't have any evil intentions, then why is he covered in bruises? He must not be an ordinary person."
"Indeed, Mr. Lu was seriously injured when you brought him here. I just saw you fighting, and Mr. Lu easily defeated you with just two or three casual attacks."
"What does this mean?" Xiao Mengxuan raised his head and said with his usual expression.
Xiao Haobai was a little confused and said: "Why?"
Xiao Mengxuan looked at him and said with some helplessness, "Even when he was seriously injured, he could easily deal with you, which shows that his strength is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface. His origins are mysterious and he is by no means an ordinary person."
"If we really want to fight, we can certainly kill him with the strength of our numbers, but if the other party tries his best, we will also suffer heavy losses."
"Maybe, you and I will lose our lives."
"However, I can feel that he is not hostile to us."
"Since we are not enemies, why not turn our hostility into friendship and make friends."
Xiao Haobai clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Humph, no matter how I look at him, he doesn't look like a good person."
"You, the boss is not young anymore. You are still acting like a child, not mature enough." Xiao Mengxuan sighed softly, and pinched her delicate nose with her white wrist, revealing a bit of haggardness, like a flower blooming in the cold wind.
, looking tired.
Xiao Haobai looked at his sister's beautiful and haggard face, and a trace of guilt flashed through his heart: "Sister, I know I was wrong."
"Okay, let's end this matter. Don't be too reckless in doing things in the future."
"Now Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest in our Xiangya Courtyard. You must entertain him well, but you must secretly send someone to keep an eye on him." Xiao Mengxuan said softly.
Xiao Haobai's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment: "Sister, why are you doing this?"
"In troubled times, people are not willing to take sides. Our Xiao family has always been upright and aboveboard in our conduct."
"But you have to remember, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others." A cold light flashed in Xiao Mengxuan's beautiful eyes.
Xiao Haobai suddenly understood and nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Then he asked again: "Sister, the family has sent someone over."
When Xiao Mengxuan heard this, he frowned and looked a little ugly: "What are they here for?"
"The family is urging you to get married. He and they are here... specifically to take you back." Xiao Haobai raised his head and glanced at his sister, then stammered in a particularly cautious tone.
When Xiao Mengxuan heard this, he was silent for a while, holding the book tightly with his slender white wrists. Due to excessive force, the books could not help but slowly wrinkle.
"My father must have sent someone here."
Xiao Hao nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest son of the Helian family has sent someone to give a heavy gift to the family. It can be said that he is very affectionate. He is waiting for you to come home and get engaged."
"Hmph, the Helian family is really impatient. They came to propose marriage so quickly before I agreed." Xiao Mengxuan said with a gloomy expression.
Xiao Haobai said: "Sister, I see that the eldest son of the Helian family is handsome, talented, and has a strong family background, and his ancestors have the support of the Sword Immortal. You marry him, and you are a good match. Why are you so resistant?"
"You are as superficial as your father. Don't I know who the eldest son of the Helian family is?" Xiao Mengxuan's beautiful eyes flashed with hope and she said calmly.
"He is just a playboy who is greedy for beauty because of his family background. How can the man that I, Xiao Mengxuan, like, be so incompetent?"
Xiao Haobai couldn't help but nodded when he heard his sister's words.
Indeed, who is her sister Xiao Mengxuan? She is said to be both beautiful and intelligent, the daughter of Tianfeng who holds great power and is extremely graceful. She has a prominent status and a noble status. She has countless suitors from all over the world like crucian carp crossing the river.
