For a moment, Xiao Tianyao was flustered and at a loss.

He didn’t expect that Lin Chujiu would suddenly pull his sleeve, and still cry like stupid!

“What a stupid woman.” Xiao Tianyao stroked his forehead with a headache. He didn’t have the face to look at the expressions of the soldiers behind him. He stepped forward decisively and walked into the thatched house with Lin Chujiu in his arms.

Lin Chujiu can afford to lose him, but he can’t afford to lose her.

This woman was so stupid. What would she do without his care?

“Wang, Wangye, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lin Chujiu cried. At this moment, she was completely amid remorse and regret. She didn’t notice the situation was wrong, nor did she find that she had been brought inside the house by Xiao Tianyao.

“Sorry for what? Since you dare to admit your mistake, then tell me where you are wrong?” As soon as they met, she pulled him and kept saying sorry, but did Lin Chujiu know where she was wrong?

“I’m sorry, I killed them. I’ll never be so willful again, I’m sorry.” Lin Chujiu bowed her head, like a child who made a mistake and didn’t dare to look at Xiao Tianyao’s eyes

She knew it was wrong to escape, but she still didn’t dare to face it.

“Killed who? Those who protected you? They live to protect you and died protecting you. So what’s wrong?” Xiao Tianyao pressed down his anger and spoke very slowly.

He knew that Lin Chujiu only remembered this matter. The death of those bodyguards. She didn’t think about his worry or dissatisfaction.

“They didn’t have to die. If I didn’t want to leave first, they wouldn’t die.” Lin Chujiu has fallen to a dead end. She carries all her mistakes on her back and firmly believes that if she didn’t leave the army first, those bodyguards who protect her will not die.

And that was the truth, but… …

“Someone can be a thief for one thousand days, but no one can guard against thieves all the time. If others want to kill you, even if it doesn’t work this time, there will be a next time. You can prevent it once, but can you defend for a lifetime?” The Zhang Family of the Central Empire hates him and Lin Chujiu. They dare not fight against him. They can only attack Lin Chujiu. If they failed this time, they will try it again some other time.

“But, but…” Xiao Tianyao said well and reasonably, but why she felt something was wrong?

“No, but.” Xiao Tianyao shook off Lin Chujiu’s hand that was pulling his sleeve and said with a cold face: “Lin Chujiu, remember, you are benwang’s princess. It is their honor to die protecting you. You don’t have to blame yourself for such a small matter.” There was no need to be afraid to see him because of such a thing.

The thought that Lin Chujiu admitted she made a mistake but dared not come to see him made him feel the urge to strangle her.

When can this stupid woman become smarter?

She doesn’t know the point at all. How did this stupid woman live up so big?

He was going to be mad at this woman.

“They…” Lin Chujiu can’t take the protection of the bodyguards as a matter of course like Xiao Tianyao. After all, the world she lives in was completely different from here.

“Well, this matter is over now. People are dead, and there is nothing to say. If you feel uneasy, go back to their graves and give them three sticks of incense.” If it wasn’t for the sake of reassuring Lin Chujiu, Xiao Tianyao wouldn’t mention such a thing at all.

Since his birth, he has experienced countless assassinations. Countless people have died to protect him. If everyone who protects him died and he had to give incense sticks, he wouldn’t be able to do anything else for a long time. His time will only be spent offering incense sticks.

Rather than doing such meaningless things, he prefers revenge!

“Is that okay?” Lin Chujiu frowned and didn’t agree with Xiao Tianyao.

“What’s wrong? Everyone is dead, your sorrow and self-blame are of no use. If I were you, I would not blame myself or be sad. I would make myself stronger, avenge the dead, make others dare not think of taking advantage of me, and let fewer people protecting me die.” This was a cannibalism world. They live in a circle where you eat me or I eat you. If you don’t want to die or be eaten, you have to be strong enough that no one dares to offend you.

“Revenge?” Xiao Tianyao’s words seemed to open another door for Lin Chujiu.

Lin Chujiu was not a weak woman at all. She had just walked into a dead end and couldn’t get out of it. Now Xiao Tianyao gave her some advice. Although she didn’t realize it immediately, she also found a new direction.

“Yes, revenge. Self-pity and self-blame can’t solve anything. If you feel guilty, you have to find a way to destroy the Zhang Family of the Central Empire, so that they will no longer dare to touch you again. Let those who want to use you see clearly what will be their end if they offend you, and let them weigh carefully whether they can bear the price of offending you.” Xiao Tianyao has always hoped that Lin Chujiu will grow up, grow up to be able to rival him, and let him rest assured. Naturally, he will not miss this opportunity to educate Lin Chujiu to grow up.

“You’re right. Self-pity and self-blame can’t solve anything.” Lin Chujiu stood in front of Xiao Tianyao and nodded heavily

“It’s good that you know.” Xiao Tianyao was deeply gratified to see Lin Chujiu listening to his advice. Seeing Lin Chujiu’s crying face, Xiao Tianyao couldn’t help frowning. He reached out and wiped the tears on Lin Chujiu’s face with his fingertips. Then said disgustedly, “Lin Chujiu, the strong don’t cry, you are too weak!”

At the sight of Lin Chujiu’s tears, he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. He had the urge to kill all the people who caused Lin Chujiu’s tears. Therefore, Lin Chujiu had better not cry.

“I’m not strong in the first place.” Lin Chujiu was angry. She puffed her cheeks and slapped away Xiao Tianyao’s hand.

*Pa* She slapped and hit the back of Xiao Tianyao’s hand.

The burning pain made Xiao Tianyao feel strange. Looking at the swelling on the back of his hand, Xiao Tianyao could not help shaking his head and chuckling.

He could have dodged, but he did not dodge. So he was hit.

This feeling was uncomfortable.

“I, I… didn’t mean it.” It was just a bluff, but she really hit people. Lin Chujiu stepped back two steps with a guilty heart.

“I don’t blame you, why do you hide?” He was beaten, but he was not angry at all. He put his hand behind his back and looked at Lin Chujiu with dignity.

He was afraid that he could not help laughing.

Lin Chujiu was really stupid and delicate. What can she do? This woman was his type. He recognized her no matter how stupid or delicate she was.

What’s more, this stupid and delicate woman was not without merit. At least every time he sees her, his mood will be a little better. When he sees her aggrieved and upset, his anger will disappear… …
