Bai Xiaoâs expression got very icy then. Raising a hand to pull his friend behind himself like a pair of love birds trying to protect each other, he confronts the Snow Clan: âIf your home experienced a theft then go look for the thief out there, not here harassing an innocent woman. Also, we wonât be staying any longer since its clear weâre not welcomed. Yi Yi, letâs go, weâre leaving.â
âUhh, okay.â The princess stumbles to react but reactively followed.ss
Itâs just that......
They had not taken step out yet before the guards surrounding their path and blocked the exit.
Still having his back turned to the snow chief, Bai Xiaoâs temperament was also showing in a harsh manner: âChief Hawk, what is the meaning of this? Although I have not fully recovered from my injury yet, I can still walk on my own so what reason do you have in stopping us?â
âYou misunderstood Sir Xiao, I am not stopping you from leaving, but a theft has occurred within my home. Regardless of who they are, itâs only proper that I investigate the matter and go over every individual that could be a suspect.â Showing a light smile that neither roused hate nor kind feelings, âSomeone come, send Miss Chu here to a guest room for rest. If we locate the thief then we will naturally let her leave without issue.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Snow Hawk did not explicitly accuse Chu Yi Yi of being a thief, itâs nevertheless obvious to everyone he also suspected the Holy Land princess to some degree. It couldnât be helped in this case. The coincidence of the item going missing the very first day she arrives was too perfect. Anyone with a sane mindset would also turn to this direction no matter how good their logic was. Of course, thatâs only because of Lotusâs explanation from earlier. Otherwise, the snow chief here would instantly turn to Wen Yi instead.
âFather,â Snow Lotus stomps her feet in frustration, âBai Xiao is also with her, theyâre part of the same group. I believe we should tie them up and send them to the punishment hall for disposal instead.â
Annoyed now after having his order questioned: âYou be quiet! Regardless of who stole the Divine God Pill, you will marry him so stop trying to wiggle your way out!â
This foolish daughter of mine, what am I going to do with her? This Bai Xiao has our familyâs Ice Lotus, even if he did steal the Divine God Pill, what of it? Does she expect me to really punish the boy when heâs going to be your husband soon?
âAre you sure you want to touch her?â Bai Xiao reaches over to grasp onto the Holy Land princessâs hand, his face stern and unyielding.
Before in the human world, whether it be strength or background, Chu Yi Yi had always done the protecting, and now.... Itâs her turn to be protected by the man. One literally sees the sweet honey dovey eyes in the girl right now as she stood behind him.
So this is how it feels to be protected by the one they like.... Itâs not bad at all, I like it.
âSomeone come, bring Miss Chu to her room!â Snow Hawk got louder since none of his people had moved yet.
âFather!â Snow Moon the younger daughter immediately protests. Sheâs getting extremely anxious and red in the eye, âSister Yi Yi will never do something like stealing from us, Father you....â
âShut up for me!â The chief swiftly stops her with that scold.
Compared with Snow Lotus his eldest, he much prefers this younger one since sheâs smart and hardworking. But love was love, he also must put into consideration of the entire clan as a whole so he mustnât act solely on his own feelings in this incident.
