Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly as he saw a silver-haired girl sitting on the ground as well as a silver-haired woman she was hugging in her arms.

"I see."

Shi Xiaobai clenched his fists slightly as he strode towards Mu Lengxi.

Mu Lengxi lifted her hands to wipe her tears as she shook her head with vigor.

The seven soldiers stirred as they looked at Tyger Li for instructions.

Tyger Li's expression was ashen as he gradually lifted his hand before slowly lowering it.

In a short instant, Shi Xiaobai was already beside Mu Lengxi.

He squatted down and focused on the girl's puffy red eyes. He asked softly, "What happened?"

Mu Lengxi shook her head vigorously and opened her mouth without making a sound. However, from the shape of her mouth, she was repeating—"I am fine."

Shi Xiaobai stared intently into the girl's eyes and remained silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke.

"You lied."

It was the same two words that sounded categorical. Tyger Li had said the same words just a short moment ago.

Back when Tyger Li said those two words, Mu Lengxi was left close to tears because she felt aggrieved from the lack of trust.

And now, with Shi Xiaobai saying the same two words, Mu Lengxi also felt like crying. She was even more aggrieved but the reason for it was completely different.

It was because when Shi Xiaobai said the two words, his stare felt like a gentle spring breeze. His voice was as soft as a pattering drizzle.

"You have cried and you are injured. How can you be fine?"

Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly as his eyes revealed a look of worry.

The girl felt her heart tense slightly as she felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes seemed to burn as though something was about to collapse.

"Why are you enduring it?"

Shi Xiaobai looked seriously into her eyes.

The girl gaped slightly, hoping to shake her head but her neck did not heed her wishes. Her vision slowly turned blurry.

"This King is here!"

Shi Xiaobai suddenly said loudly, "This King is here. There's no need for you to endure further! Don't…hold it in anymore!"

Shi Xiaobai's expression looked like he was in pain and his eyes were filled with sadness.

The girl widened her eyes as she suddenly gave a silly smile. Boiling hot tears began rolling down her tear ducts as fresh red blood seeped out the corner of her mouth.

Mu Zhaorong had forcefully withstood the Soul Suppression and fainted from serious injuries.

Mu Lengxi was no different either. She had not fainted but she had suffered severe internal injuries. However, she had been enduring it as long as she could.

She did not want to show her weak side to that cold man ever again.

She had forcefully swallowed the blood in her throat and tried her best to hold in her tears but her tear ducts had collapsed when Shi Xiaobai came. When Shi Xiaobai said the words, 'don't hold it in anymore', she finally could not endure any further.

Why was she so aggrieved?

It was because the boy who she could pour all her sadness to was here.

Mu Lengxi stretched out her other hand to tug at the boy's sleeves. Gently, she buried her head into his embrace as her shoulders trembled. Tears poured out of her eyes in sadness. All the grievances that had accumulated in her chest and throat were finally released!

But even so, she did not utter a cry. Despite it being her most powerful weapon and her greatest grievance, she had protected it heavily. She endured and endured in a stubborn and resolute manner.

Shi Xiaobai sighed lightly and raised his hands to embrace Mu Lengxi fully.

Out of all the girls that he had seen, this was the girl that cried the most.

However, she was also the most determined girl he knew.

Shi Xiaobai pitied her as he silently swore.

One day, he would allow the girl to cry, shout and laugh freely, letting her freely emit her voice to the world.

The boy and girl's embrace with one party consoling and one party crying was a beautiful and innocent scene. It emitted sour feelings of youth and love.

The seven soldiers exchanged looks and were somewhat lost with them immersed in such an ambiguous atmosphere. They looked at Tyger Li and awaited his instructions.

Tyger Li did not speak and instead looked at the boy and girl quietly. His expression remained calm but his gaze turned increasingly solemn.

Shi Xiaobai was only a rookie at the Psionic Mortal Realm. No matter how talented he was, he was of little consequence. However, he was now the talk of the town. Before the buzz dissipated, anything he did would be trending on the search engines.

Even Tyger Li could not wantonly execute the boy unless he was determined to kill Shi Xiaobai and wipe out all evidence.

However, despite somewhat hating the boy, it was not as bad as risking to kill him.

How was he to fool the boy into leaving? If he could not do so, how was he to make the boy 'forget' the incident?

Tyger Li began making his calculations.

Suddenly, the black-haired boy that had his back facing him turned his head.

"Did you hurt her?"

The boy's gaze was cold.

Tyger Li frowned slightly. The boy's gaze made him suddenly feel frustrated and furious.

The seven soldiers felt their hearts leap. They had a baffling sense of unease which resulted in them having angry emotions.

You are an astounding genius who will definitely surpass us in the future. You will become someone strong who would crush us.

But you are currently only a weakling at the Psionic Mortal Realm. Any one of the seven of us can easily crush you. How dare you be so arrogant?

Shi Xiaobai's cold eyes made these soldiers who might never break through to the Psionic Domain Realm infuriated. They felt embarrassed and hoped to trample this astounding genius beneath their feet while humiliating them. They wanted him to know that talent and strength were different. Before he matured in strength, he was only a talented ant regardless of how much of a genius he was.

However, the seven soldiers could only have such thoughts and fantasize the venting of the anger that stemmed from the humiliation. Tyger Li had yet to give his orders or make his intentions known.

Tyger Li remained silent for a very long while. He definitely could have taught the boy a lesson for his impolite questioning but it would result in problems that he needed explaining. It was not the best option.

A clever politician would not crush an ant to death while dirtying his leather shoes meant for participating in banquets.

Tyger Li finally said with a deep voice, "I'm her father. It's impossible for me to harm her."

Tyger Li finally decided to appease the boy that seemed impetuous.

Shi Xiaobai was slightly dumbfounded. He never expected such an answer. Seven soldiers, a sanctimonious-looking middle-aged man, an injured crying girl, and an unconscious woman. No matter how much he pondered over the plot, he could only come to a conclusion that the seven soldiers and the middle-aged man had jointly bullied the girl and the woman. That was the only possibility.

Yet, he never expected the middle-aged man to be Mu Lengxi's father?

Then, what was the reason for the situation?

Shi Xiaobai had never seen Speechless's handsome looks under his disguise so he was unable to judge if the middle-aged man who looked rather similar to Speechless to be speaking the truth.

Shi Xiaobai could only lower his head and asked the girl in his embrace, "Is he really your father?"

Mu Lengxi buried her head in Shi Xiaobai's chest and immediately shook her head when she heard him.

No!

She did not have such a father!

Such a schemeful and hypocritical man was not her father!

Mu Lengxi did not lift her head and instead shook her head in Shi Xiaobai's chest like a rattle drum.

Tyger Li's expression turned increasingly cold when he saw that.

Shi Xiaobai was somewhat dumbfounded as he turned to look at Tyger Li as though he was looking at a retard. "Can you use a bit of your brain when lying? To think you fabricated a lie that can be so easily exposed!"

Shi Xiaobai did not know that Mu Lengxi was shaking her head to disacknowledge such a father. He thought that the middle-aged man in front of him had lost his mind and given a lie that only a fool would believe.

The corner of Tyger Li's lips twitched as his expression turned stiff. He was secretly incensed.

Before he could say another word, the youngest soldier ranked seventh could not bear it anymore. The rash man in his twenties said in an impetuous manner, "Such audacity! Do you not know that this Excellency before you is the premier of the state council? Shi Xiaobai, you can act the fool but you are not to be this impolite to Premier Li!"

The premier of the state council was one of the highest ranking people in the country's government. He would frequently appear on news regarding matters of great national interest or in international relations. It was impossible that any Chinese citizen with slightly better general knowledge would not know that the present premier of the state council was the youngest premier since the establishment of China as a nation. He was also the most handsome premier.

Premier Li was celebrated for his good looks!

If it were any ordinary person, they might fail to recognize Tyger Li's identity, not to mention that they were in Crown Prince Manor.

However, Shi Xiaobai was not any ordinary person. He really did not know.

"A premier of the state council that bullies two weak females. This King is sorry for not having heard of it."

A mocking smile suffused on Shi Xiaobai's lips. "Although you are slightly better than the one before you, and had used a bit of your brain, the lie you gave is too lousy. It looks like you have a brain but it's not very well utilized."

Shi Xiaobai had mocked two at one go without showing any mercy.

"What insolence!"

The seventh soldier was an impetuous man filled with vigor, so how could he withstand such humiliation?

Tyger Li's expression turned increasingly cold. He even had thoughts of finishing the bastard while disregarding everything else before thinking of a way to settle the ramifications.

However, Tyger Li had yet to make up his mind.

At that moment, a sneer suffused on Shi Xiaobai's lips as he said coldly, "This King does not care what your identities are but Mu Lengxi is This King's friend. By bullying her, This King is very angry. The consequences will be severe!"
