After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

When Lin Xi saw Chen Xun, she was stunned.

Just now she was concentrating on paying attention to Lin Yuanyue and did not see Chen Xun. The man in front of her had deep eyes and was full of plans. She could not tell what he was really thinking behind his eyes.

Lin Xi came back to her senses and said, "My little girl, I meet Mr. Chen San."

She thought that she was afraid of him only because she had revealed too many things in front of him when she was reborn. But she was Lin Xi, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and he would not be able to find out anything even if he investigated.

Why am I so afraid of him?

What's more, there is a high possibility that he and the Chen family can help him.

Chen Xun smiled with an ambiguous tone: "You are not afraid of me this time?"

Lin Xi replied: "Since he is my elder, why should I be afraid?"

Chen Xun was not angry after being told the opposite. When he heard her mention elders, the smile on his face deepened a little, and he repeated, "Elders?"

He took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the bright and glaring blood on the sword, threw the handkerchief casually on the ground, looked at her so far away from him, pointed the sword at the place beside him, and motioned her to come over.

Lin Xi didn't move for a moment and still stood there.

Chen Xun smiled, "Why? Am I not the elder?"

The corner of Lin Xi's mouth twitched slightly. Isn't this asking too much?

But she still moved and walked to his side.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very quiet for a moment. Even the chirping of insects and birds around could be heard clearly.

Lin Xi had been tense, but for some reason she slowly relaxed and her mind became empty. This was the only time she had relaxed since her rebirth.

There is a big ginkgo tree in the yard, its green leaves block out the sun and even the view of the wall.

Suddenly, a soft exclamation interrupted Lin Xi's thoughts.

Her eyes focused on the source of the voice, and she saw clearly that it was Shen Qingran, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. The masked murderer was holding a dagger against her fair and slender neck.

Her face was pale, and her already thin body looked even more fragile at this moment.

Lin Xi turned her head and looked at them, silent, then looked at the angular man beside her and pursed her lips.

"Chen Xun, hand over the evidence, otherwise, she will die in my hands." The dagger in the black-clothed man's hand was close to Shen Qingran's skin.

Chen Xun's eyes were cold: "What does her life have to do with me?"

After saying this, both Shen Qingran and the murderer's expressions changed drastically.

The murderer didn't expect that their intelligence network would be wrong. Wasn't it said that Chen Xun treated the Duke of Zhenguo's daughter differently?

Shen Qingran was trembling all over. Could it be that her life would end here?

When Lin Xi raised her eyes again, they were already filled with tears. Her trembling voice was filled with the shyness of a young girl in love: "Third Master, I'm scared."

These words made the men in black focus their attention on her.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the girl, who wouldn't feel soft-hearted? And the man in black then realized that Chen Xun wanted to protect her!

Thinking of this, the man in black stopped pestering him. After all, if he involved the Duke of Zhenguo, all his efforts would be wasted before he achieved his goal.

The man in black decided to give it a try. Just as he made up his mind, a woman rushed out of the house and claimed that she wanted to exchange with the hostage in his hand, which made him feel overwhelmed.

Lin Xi had a sneer on her lips, and she really came out.

"Sister, you are my stepping stone in this life. Only if you are not doing well, I can get better and better. Do you know that?"

"Sister, you don't know that I deliberately set up a bridge between my brother-in-law and that princess. You don't know how much effort it took me, and my brother-in-law didn't let me down. You shot an arrow through his heart."

······

Her words still echoed in his ears.

Lin Yuanyue, how can I let you get what you want this time?

Lin Xi held back Lin Yuanyue who wanted to rush forward with tears in her eyes, "Sister, don't go. If you rush over now, aren't you trying to kill Miss Shen? She is in someone else's hands now. If we want to exchange, it's better for me to go."

Shen Qingran, who was held hostage, was also angry. Her life was still in this man's hands. What did Lin Yuanyue want to do?

Before Lin Yuanyue could react, Lin Xi had already pushed her aside and said righteously, "Third Master, let me go and replace Miss Shen! She looks like my sister, and I don't want her to suffer."

These words spoke directly to Shen Qingran's heart. Her mother once said that she also had an older sister, but she died young.

The man in black originally wanted to capture the person that Chen Xun cared about. Now that he saw that she was willing to take the initiative to exchange her into his hands, he would hold the two of them hostage, which would give him more bargaining chips, so he would not have to worry about him not agreeing.

Before Lin Yuanyue could react, Lin Xi had already gone to replace her. She had just pushed him so hard that his foot was dislocated and he couldn't move. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, she also saw the gratitude in Shen Qingran's eyes.

Shouldn't that be her?

Originally, this person should have been her, not Lin Xi!

Why is this happening?

She heard from her father that there would be a big riot in Horyuji Temple today, and she only needed to rescue the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo here, and she would be able to gain her trust.

Lin Xi, who was in the hands of the man in black, had already tightly grasped the thin needle hidden in her sleeve. The needle was poisoned. If anything unexpected happened, she only needed to stab it backwards.

She was anxious and scared. What if an accident really happened?

In a flash, sweat broke out on her forehead. She met his deep eyes and listened to him slowly say, "Evidence? You're dreaming."

Lin Xi's heart sank to the bottom, but his voice made her raise her head and listen to him continue: "I want your life to stay here."

A cold and emotionless voice had already determined the life of the man in black behind her, but she did not feel afraid. Her original worry unconsciously turned into calmness, and her whole body relaxed. She even turned around and used her eyes to comfort Shen Qingran, who was about to collapse.

A cool breeze comes.

No one could see clearly how Chen Xun made his move, not even Lin Xi, who was only a finger away from him.

I don't know what was rustling in the wind, but just as Chen Xun dealt with the man in black, he reached out his hand to her.

Just when Lin Xi was feeling uneasy, he just stood in front of her, blocking her view with his hands, but never touched her at all.

Lin Xi couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked softly: "Is it solved?"

"Don't prick yourself with the needle hidden in your sleeve."

As soon as she said this, she understood that Chen Xun must have seen through her intentional act.

But why is he willing to continue acting with me?

Lin Xi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the breath from his body was gone. When she looked again, he was gone.

And she completely changed her destiny.

Shen Qingran, who was standing beside her, burst into tears, pulled her sleeve, and said with a sob: "Ms. Lin, I will bring the Li family to thank you later."
