The group of them wailed on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
They had never expected that woman to be so strong earlier. Yun Bixue’s attack had given them so much pain that they couldn’t even sit up. Even so, they still shuddered with fear.
Young Master Xie was completely eradicating their future career paths!
Hearing their whines, Xie Limo paused in his tracks and briefly glanced at them. He said coolly, “Since the Second Elder had offered you some benefits, go serve him!”
The few of them gasped and looked at Xie Limo with widened eyes.
“You don’t have to look at me like that. Nothing you do can escape me. Actually, I’m kind enough not to send you for punishment!”
After speaking, Xie Limo snapped at the guards, “What are you waiting for? Chase them away.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Young Master Xie… Young Master Xie!”
Their heads finally cleared up, and they felt incredibly scared. They would rather be punished by Young Master Xie than have their future completely destroyed.
They knew that Young Master Xie had fully given up on them.
Xie Limo turned around and added, “You’ve succeeded in buying the Second Elder more time. He has already left the imperial capital.”
In utter shock, the few of them couldn’t even breathe. They had no idea that the Second Elder had used them. After gaining what he wanted, he had abandoned them too.
After realizing that, they completely regretted their actions. They wanted to kneel and beg, and to change their attitudes. However, it was all too late.
A dangerous glint flashed as Xie Limo narrowed his eyes. When he first heard about the news and rushed to the harbor this morning, he was already too late.
He had underestimated the Second Elder. Nevertheless, it wasn’t impossible for him to return to the headquarters even though he had already escaped.
He had already ordered to have the Second Elder die out at sea!
Yun Bixue had been eating slowly when Xie Limo returned, and her face lit up immediately. However, she could clearly tell that Xie Limo was upset. “Did something happen in the morning?”
Xie Limo removed his jacket. Hanging it beside the door, he washed his hands and sat down to eat with Yun Bixue.
“I just asked you a question!”
Xie Limo’s face turned solemn as he answered, “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
Yun Bixue pursed her lips and replied, “It’s obvious that something is bothering you. You look like you have a lot on your mind.”
Xie Limo didn’t want to tell Yun Bixue because he didn’t want her thoughts to run wild. He didn’t want her to blame herself.
“Don’t overthink things.”
Yun Bixue picked some food and placed it in Xie Limo’s bowl. After hesitating, she said, “Limo, I saw the document from the headquarters in your room. What does it say?”
“It’s about the search for the Second Elder.”
“The Second Elder? Doesn’t the headquarters know that he is in the imperial capital?”
Xie Limo took a sip of the soup and shook his head. “The headquarters does not know. The Second Elder had secretly made a trip here and broken the rules. He wouldn’t let the headquarters find out about it.”
Yun Bixue was rather shocked. “Why can’t he come to Country A?”
The Elder’s Home cannot interfere with Country A’s matters. This is a rule that has been passed down since a long time ago. If the Elder’s Home were to step in, the heir’s power will be greatly diminished.”
“Oh, I get it now.”
“Eat more!”
“Okay.”
After their meal, Xie Limo instructed everyone to look after Yun Bixue and left right away.
Later, Yun Dong returned and happily told Yun Bixue that Xiajun Yanwu had been admitted to the hospital last night.
“Miss Yun, that’s what the princess deserves for trying to hurt you. Haha! She made herself so angry that she had to be admitted to the hospital.”
