Xiaosuisui saw the curved knife against her neck.
It was the same shape as the one Uncle Fourth had at his waist.
But she felt that Uncle Fourth’s two knives were shinier, and it seemed as if they possessed Spiritual Qi.
"Stay still and don’t move! Who sent you?" a man in black barked at Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui tilted her head, looking at him in confusion.
"I came by myself. Who are you? Why are you holding a knife to my neck? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"
The man in black was stunned. This isn’t right at all!
Just as this thought crossed his mind, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The little dumpling he was threatening with his knife had, in the blink of an eye, grabbed his blade with her bare hand.
Then, with an incredible twist of her body and an impossibly fast movement of her hand, the curved knife he held was suddenly in her grasp.
"Your knife isn’t very good!" Xiaosuisui declared, holding the blade and appraising it with an air of authority.
The disarmed man in black was speechless. Damn! Is she some kind of demon?
The other men in black were also stunned. They each took out their own knives, scrutinizing them, but no matter how long they looked, they couldn’t see what was supposedly wrong with their blades.
The little Emperor, who had finally managed to struggle to his feet, stared in disbelief. Damn it, is this kid even human? Could she be some kind of demon or monster?
For a moment, the little Emperor’s face turned extremely serious.
Guarded by several guards, he went upstairs and stared intently at Xiaosuisui.
"What in the world are you? Confess! Otherwise, I’ll have the National Master deal with a fiend like you!"
National Master?
Hearing these words, Xiaosuisui suddenly recalled her maternal grandmother and eldest maternal aunt warning her to be very careful not to encounter him.
At this thought, she turned and bolted.
"Catch her!" the young Emperor immediately ordered when he saw her run.
Instantly, several men in black gave chase.
Xiaosuisui could never have imagined that her first fight would be so devastating. The blade techniques she used were something she had casually memorized from watching her Uncle Fourth practice in the woods. She only knew offense and had no concept of defense.
After all, she was very young and had only just arrived at the Ji Family. So, the Ji family members hadn’t had time to teach her anything systematically.
After just three moves, the men in black no longer dared to get too close to her.
At that moment, the little girl showed her cleverness. Seeing they had created some distance, she darted out of their encirclement like a gust of wind and ran into Ji Youran’s room.
A CREAK and a SLAM echoed.
Everyone in the Ji Family who had been focused on Ji Youyuan suddenly snapped to their senses. They turned to look at the door, and a collective Damn it! went through their minds. They had actually forgotten all about the little girl!
"Sweetie! Are you okay?" Grandma Ji asked eagerly.
"She’s right here, isn’t she? What could possibly happen to her?" Ji Youlin, who had just returned, heard Grandma Ji’s question and responded without thinking.
However, his words were met with innumerable glares.
Ji Youlin looked at everyone, confused and aggrieved.
What’s wrong with everyone in the family? This child my sister left behind is clearly a little terror! Elder Brother obviously couldn’t take that Elixir, yet she insisted on stuffing it into his mouth. She nearly killed him! Why isn’t anyone in the family blaming her? Is it just because she’s Sister’s child? They’re spoiling her way too much!
Grandma Ji shot Ji Youlin a fierce glare, then pulled Xiaosuisui into her arms and asked, "What happened, sweetheart? It looked like someone was chasing you!"
The little girl was genuinely scared now. She buried her little head into Grandma Ji’s embrace and whimpered, "Grandma."
Then her tears started to fall. "The big brother who was surrounded by the golden snake said... he wanted the National Master to take me away..."
