Jiang Xue was a little ashamed and angry, but this person was indeed crushed to the ground in order to save her. If he hadn't caught her, she didn't know what she would have fallen into at this moment.

Therefore, Jiang Xue said softly with some guilt: "Master, can you get up?"

The man didn't reply, he just stood up neatly and dusted himself off, as if he was very disgusted.

Jiang Xue lowered her head and said, "Thank you so much, Master, for saving me just now. I am deeply grateful. I will give you these clothes as compensation."

"You're in my way."

Jiang Xue was stunned and looked up at him.

The man was wearing a black brocade robe with dark purple patterns embroidered with clouds. He had a tall and slender figure and looked very majestic——

But he wore a silver tiger-print mask on his face. Although it was exquisite, it covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes and half of his chin exposed outside the mask.

Those eyes were as deep and calm as a cold pool, and the whole person also exuded an icy cold air like the top of a cloud mountain, with a posture that could repel people thousands of miles away.

While Jiang Xue was stunned, Lu Qiongshuang rushed down like flying, held her arms and said: "Sister, are you okay?!"

He Zhilin, Fu Dong and Su Yu also hurriedly walked down.

Jiang Xue said: "I'm fine, this young master is following me."

Seeing that the man didn't speak, Jiang Xue added, "Master, if you don't mind, please wait in this building. I will ask the maid to buy some clothes and bring them to you."

The man said coldly: "No time."

There was an inhuman indifference in his words.

She really cherishes words like gold, Jiang Xue thought to herself, but unfortunately this person was kind to her, and she didn't want to come back for nothing and owe someone a favor for no reason.

Jiang Xue could only put on a smile and approached: "Thank you very much for saving your life today, sir. I don't know how I can repay you?"

"Get out of the way." The man said coldly.

"Ah?" Jiang Xue was a little surprised.

"Get out of the way, that's repayment."

It's really concise and to the point.

Lu Qiongshuang lost her temper and stepped forward: "You are really strange. My sister talks to you so loudly and angrily. Do you have to be so unhuman?"

The man raised his eyes and looked at Lu Qiongshuang with disdain in his eyes and did not say anything.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Xue pulled Lu Qiongshuang out of the way knowingly.

"Hey, let me tell you, brother," the voice from upstairs was Ji Yan, "our building is not accepting guests today. You came uninvited. What do you want to buy?"

Jiang Xue looked up and saw Ji Yan lying on the handrail of the stairs with a face full of joking, as if he was watching a play.

"Aren't they guests?" the man asked in a deep voice.

"They are friends, what about you?" Ji Yan said with a hint of provocation in his voice.

"What do you think?" The man's voice was even colder.

Ji Yan suddenly put on a playful expression and walked down slowly while waving his fan.

"It's rare for so many beauties to come to my building on one day. Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Ji Yan said this to the man.

Jiang Xue was confused, did the two know each other?

"Get my things back." The man said.

Ji Yan walked up to everyone, cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry, my beauties. He is an old acquaintance of mine. I lost a bet before, so I owe him. He made a custom-made weapon for me. Today is the day he comes here Take it.”

He blinked at Jiang Xue and asked, "Miss Jiang San, didn't I scare you?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said: "This young master's clothes are dirty, and it's because of me. Since he doesn't want new clothes as a thank you gift, why don't he find something he likes in this building soon, and Mr. Ji Yan will come with him?" Charge it to my account."

"Oh?" Ji Yan showed an exaggerated expression, came close to her eyes and said, "Sister Jiang, the items in my building are not cheap."

"A life-saving grace cannot be repaid with a thousand dollars." Jiang Xue said calmly.

"Which fairy is Sister Jiang? She's so generous?" Ji Yan asked pointedly.

"I'm not a god, nor am I rich, and my money is limited, so -" Jiang Xue pulled Su Yu and stood between the two of them, then smiled sweetly at Ji Yan, "Aren't you friends? Mr. Ji Yan?" , it’s cheaper.”

"Yes, yes, it's more affordable. We'll come back next time." Lu Qiong blinked, "Master Ji Yan is such a talented person and has great business talent. He will definitely not take advantage of us little girls. La, isn’t it?”

Jiang Xue frowned, what exactly has his cousin learned in the world over the years?

When Su Yu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at Jiang Xue knowingly.

Ji Yan shook the fan in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "Ji never refuses a beautiful woman's invitation. But -"

He put away his fan and pointed it at the masked man, and said, "You also have to ask him if he wants it."

The man looked at Ji Yan's careless look, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xue had no choice but to say: "Please accept it. To be honest, I don't want to owe a favor."

"So much nonsense."

The man only left these words, then reached out and grabbed Ji Yan's collar and said, "Take me to get something."

Ji Yan struggled awkwardly, broke free, and cursed angrily: "Just take it, are you allowed to do anything?"

He turned back to look at Jiang Xue and asked: "Sister Jiang, are you feeling well? Can you go upstairs? Come together, your benefactor is also going to the top floor."

Jiang Xue nodded.

Ji Yan murmured in a low voice: "If you can't walk, just let him carry you. This person doesn't mind if you owe him a few more favors."

The masked man immediately cast a murderous look at him, and he immediately shut his mouth.

Everyone now walked behind Jiang Xue, fearing that she would fall. Only Ji Yan and the masked man stood side by side with her.

Jiang Xue asked: "I wonder what you call me?"

The masked man still didn't say a word, so Ji Yan interrupted: "Ji Ying, just call him Ji Ying."

The masked man glared at him and walked quickly upstairs.

Ji Yan stopped and said to the crowd: "You guys should go shopping by yourself first. That guy is really difficult to take care of. I have to coax him first so as not to lose anything again."

Everyone nodded, and Ji Yan immediately chased after them.

Jiang Xue looked up and saw the walking back of the man. Her breathing stopped for a moment, and her heart seemed to be squeezed.

There was something blank in her mind. Fu Dong saw her stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand.

She held Fu Dong's arm tightly with such strength that Fu Dong screamed in pain.

"Ah, girl, what's wrong, girl?"

Jiang Xue came back to her senses, only to see that the two people in front of her had disappeared around the corner.

"Why......"

Why, the back view just now is somewhat similar to that back view.

Jiang Xue's lips trembled slightly and she looked at Fu Dong: "Why..."

Seeing that she looked wrong, He Zhilin hurriedly said to Su Yu: "Su Yu, you go up with Shuang'er to have a look first. Jiang San should still be uncomfortable. I'll stay here with her first."

Su Yu didn't ask anything, just chuckled and said: "Okay."

Lu Qiongshuang asked: "Sister, she?"

He Zhilin signaled her not to speak and said to her: "Let's go for a walk first. When she calms down, we will go up."

Lu Qiongshuang followed Su Yu to the top floor sensibly.

Seeing that no one was around, He Zhilin walked over and helped Jiang Xue sit down.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" He Zhilin asked softly.

Jiang Xue grabbed his sleeve and said, "That man, why does his back look so like -"

She looked at He Zhilin with a confused expression and slowly uttered two words.

"Xiao, Qi."

He Zhilin's face was filled with shock when he heard the name, and he couldn't help clenching his hands in his sleeves.

He briefly recalled it and said to Jiang Xue: "Your Highness, you are wrong. It is absolutely impossible."

"There are tens of millions of people in the world, so it's not surprising that they have similar body shapes. Besides, I was a classmate of Xiao Qi for a few years, and he doesn't have much in common with that Ji Ying."

Jiang Xue closed her eyes.

yes, yes.

Xiao Qi was even thinner. In his memory, he was a teenager with a thin back. He was like a piece of paper walking on the road, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake those memories out of her mind.

"Besides, it's not like you don't know about my grandfather's medical skills," He Zhilin smiled bitterly, "He promised His Highness what he did. How could he still survive after taking action?"

Jiang Xue opened her eyes and looked at He Zhilin's painful expression, and slowly said: "Yes, I made a mistake."

"How could that person be still alive?" Jiang Xue's voice was broken.

He Zhilin reached out his hand and patted her back gently.

A dark room on the top floor.

Ji Yan said angrily to the man wearing the mask: "What are you doing? What do you want to sing?"

"Come here for a walk if you have nothing to do," the man said, "Where's the sword you promised?"

"Didn't you agree that I would send the sword to you two days later after you enter the capital?" Ji Yan rolled his eyes and suddenly said sarcastically:

"You are so rude when you talk to others, like an iceberg. What little girl dares to get close to you?"

"Too lazy to talk nonsense."

"Just pretend, who went to peel off someone's roof a few days ago? And today he came here with all his might. Do you really think I don't know what you're doing?"
