Xuan Feng was slightly stunned, and he looked up at Bai Xi.
Han Rui was also stunned for a while.
Xuan Feng reacted and immediately stepped forward, kneeling directly on the ground: "Eldest Miss, I cannot stay here. I said I want to stay by your side and protect your safety."
This was not a punishment, but a reward.
However, his life was given by the Eldest Miss, and he would dedicate his life to protecting her as his mission. He dared not wish for or even think about anything else.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "So, are you disobeying orders now?"
Xuan Feng frowned, lowering his head even further: "Xuan Feng would not dare. But if the Eldest Miss insists on driving Xuan Feng away, then Xuan Feng can only disobey the order. At that time, the Eldest Miss can punish Xuan Feng however she wishes. Xuan Feng will absolutely not leave the Eldest Miss."
Han Rui watched Xuan Feng kneeling on the ground, lost in thought. His beautiful phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly.
Bai Xi frowned.
He knew Xuan Feng's character. What he said would never be taken back, and the decisions he made would never be changed. It seemed this matter had been brought up too early today.
She said lightly, "I promised Han Rui earlier that I would help the Han family restore their reputation, but after that, I need to return to the Bai family. I only asked you to stay here to help restore the Han family's reputation. Afterwards, you can be wherever you wish, there is no conflict."
Only when Xuan Feng heard this did he look up: "Xuan Feng accepts the order."
Just then, a distant commotion of varying sizes could be heard, quite loud, the sound of vehicles approaching.
Before long, several off-road vehicles drove over, followed by countless motorcycles.
These people were none other than the men brought by Xue Yi. They had located this place using the communicator that Han Rui had opened earlier.
The man leading the group stepped out of the car, sporting a small mustache and black sunglasses, with an air of arrogance.
His posture suggested he was there to greet Xue Yi, who had returned with great spoils.
But upon stepping out, he saw Bai Xi and the others, not Xue Yi. He couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, addressing them with disdain, "How is it? Feel honored to be associated with our Seventh Master, aren't you?"
After all, Seventh Master had previously said he would secretly eliminate these people in the graveyard.
He hadn't expected them all to still be alive.
He figured these four were also cowards, hiding behind Seventh Master, and since Seventh Master was kind, he hadn't dealt them a fatal blow, truly letting them off easy.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and ignored him.
The mustached man, seeing Bai Xi ignore him, felt a bit displeased. But remembering Seventh Master's promise before leading them into the mountains, he couldn't be bothered to argue with Bai Xi and her group. After all, what mattered most was getting their share of the money and enjoying wealth and status.
Even so, he couldn't resist saying something unpleasant: "Hmph, you're benefiting from our Seventh Master, yet you act so proud. But I can't be bothered to argue with ungrateful people like you, lest I lower my own class and Seventh Master's class."
With that thought, he took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of unfriendly, bloodshot eyes. He looked around, searching for Xue Yi.
Seeing that all four in front of him were fine, Seventh Master must also be fine. Seventh Master had brought a large group of people, so his target should have been quite noticeable. Why couldn't he see him? Had Seventh Master left with Third Brother and the others, and they had arrived too late?
With this thought, he took out his communicator, intending to lock onto the location.
However, what he locked onto was Han Rui.
The mustached man frowned slightly: "Why are you holding Seventh Master's communicator?"
Seeing the mustached man, Han Rui's expression turned cold, and he directly threw the communicator to the ground.
Xue Yi had killed his father, and this man in front of him was Xue Yi's subordinate. He didn't know how long this man had been with Xue Yi, nor did he know if he had participated in harming his father.
He could do his best not to hold a grudge, but... he truly couldn't show any good disposition towards Xue Yi's lackey.
The mustached man finally couldn't hold back: "You..."
Saying that, he was about to step forward.
Xuan Feng directly stepped forward, blocking Han Rui.
The mustached man looked at the tall Xuan Feng and remembered the scene on the road where Xuan Feng had shattered large stones with his bare hands. Instantly, his arrogance deflated. He extended a finger, as if wanting to speak but hesitating, pointing a few times. Finally, he only managed to say, "I am a magnanimous person and can't be bothered with you."
With that, he put his sunglasses back on, concealing the fear in his eyes, and turned to leave, planning to return to his off-road vehicle and find a way to contact Xue Yi using the communication equipment.
Just then, someone suddenly said, "Brother Hu, look, isn't that... Seventh Master."
The mustached man was startled and looked in the direction his subordinate was pointing.
Indeed, not far away, a human-shaped object lay there. However... something seemed to be missing. Yes, it was missing two arms!
And the thick gold chain around the neck was somewhat dazzling in the afterglow of the sunset. It was indeed... Seventh Master.
The mustached man immediately rushed towards Xue Yi's corpse. Upon seeing the missing arms, his eyes widened involuntarily. As he tried to help him up, he shouted loudly, "Seventh Master, Seventh Master, what happened to you, Seventh Master..."
However, a pink needle pierced his forehead, meaning he had no chance of survival. At this moment, Xue Yi had already turned into a cold corpse.
Therefore, his shouts were met only with silence, stillness, and speechlessness.
After he recognized that Xue Yi was dead, his mind began to race.
The scene before him was all too clear. These four must have betrayed Seventh Master. After leaving the graveyard, they wanted to claim the treasures found in the graveyard for themselves. Thus, they took advantage of Seventh Master's trust and launched a fatal attack on Seventh Master and his loyal troops.
This proved that there was indeed a trove of immense treasure in the graveyard, just as Seventh Master had said.
However, Seventh Master was now dead, and they were well-equipped. Dealing with the four people in front of them... wouldn't that be more than enough?
With this thought, he looked at Bai Xi and the other three, greed in his eyes mixed with malice: "These four killed Seventh Master. We must avenge Seventh Master! Come, surround these four!"
As soon as he said this, everyone swarmed over, some of them holding guns.
Seeing this, Han Rui frowned slightly: "I was the one who killed him. If you want revenge, you can kill me. It has nothing to do with the others."
He knew Bai Xi and Xuan Feng were very strong, but... no matter how strong one was, how could they withstand bullets? Xuan Feng had killed Xue Yi for him, so he naturally had to take responsibility.
Hearing this, the mustached man revealed a sinister smile: "You actually dare to admit it. Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish now."
With that, he snatched a handgun from a subordinate next to him and aimed it at Han Rui.
Han Rui closed his eyes directly, seemingly ready to face death.
