Chapter 204 From now on we will all follow you
My aunt is very nimble and quick-witted. Although she is a little old and her eyesight is not very good, she can see more clearly now that the sun is at its highest point.
After the needle dropped, she continued embroidering according to her feeling, and soon she finished embroidering the clothes that the seven girls would wear at tomorrow's banquet.
Each dark layer is extremely hidden, and it is difficult to see any clues even if you look closely.
Probably to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, Xu Hongxiu called all the servants in the mansion to gather in the afternoon, including the seven girls in Bai Suian's courtyard.
When he came back, Bai Sui'an vaguely noticed that something was wrong. The girls looked unhappy, and the three younger ones had red eyes.
Bai Sui'an couldn't help but call the seven of them over and ask them the reason.
Ah Huang shook his head and said reluctantly: "It's not a big deal, Miss, don't worry about us."
Ah Hong also helped to cover up: "Yes, Miss, eat well and sleep well, tomorrow will be a difficult day."
Bai Sui'an's eyes swept over their faces. Due to her personality, only Alan pouted at Bai Sui'an in dissatisfaction.
Bai Sui'an asked her to come forward: "Tell me, why are you unhappy?"
"It was the young lady who asked me to say it, not me who wanted to say it." Alan turned around and looked at the sisters behind her. Regardless of their obstructive looks, she resolutely said to Bai Sui'an,
"I don't want to die."
These four simple words expressed the thoughts of the other girls.
Looking at the emotions of the girls behind him, Bai Sui'an knew that Alan had hit the nail on the head.
She asked, "Who told you to die?"
"Madam said that many martial arts masters will be present tomorrow. If anyone attacks you, young lady, we will be required to fight to the death to protect you."
Although it was not explicitly stated that they should all die, the girls all understood that how could they defeat the martial arts masters?
They have only learned martial arts for more than ten years and are not yet at the level where they can fight with big shots.
Bai Sui'an could understand the reasons why the girls were feeling complicated. After all, most of them had families and were still so young and wanted to see the outside world.
But do they have to do what Su Xia ordered?
She thought that she was not yet at the point where she would let these girls sacrifice their lives for her.
"My skills are not as bad as you think. I can protect myself. If something happens, you should protect yourselves first before thinking about how to help me out."
Moreover, Bai Sui'an did not expect these seven people to protect her. She was also surrounded by the secret guards left by Ye Zihu. If something happened, the first people to take responsibility for protecting her would be the secret guards, not these girls of her age.
Ah Hong stepped forward and said, "How can that be? When we came here, we promised Madam that we would protect the Second Young Miss. How can we put our own safety first?"
Bai Sui'an propped up his face with one hand on the table and said lazily, "Even if the seven of you were together, you wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat me. I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to protect yourselves. If that happens, I'll have to distract myself to protect you. That would be a waste of energy."
"How is that possible?" Ah Lu continued, "Second Miss, you are only about the same age as me, and you don't look like someone who would resort to violence. How good can your skills be..."
She spoke more and more quietly, fearing that Bai Sui'an would be unhappy if she heard it.
Bai Sui'an didn't say much, but stood up and stretched himself. Since he would need people tomorrow anyway, he might as well test the skills of the seven of them now.
Bai Sui'an asked the seven people to come to the yard with her. She stood still and said, "Come on, let's have a competition. The seven of you will work together to find a way to punch me. If you hit me, it's over."
It sounds easy. The seven girls looked at each other, wondering, isn't it just one punch?
They soon realized that they had underestimated the enemy.
At first they were afraid of hurting Bai Sui'an, so they took turns to fight with him.
But every one of their moves was easily resolved by Bai Sui'an. They were clearly competing with fists and feet, but Bai Sui'an could easily slap them back with a single palm and could even deal with the next person with ease, while their fists could not even hit Bai Sui'an.
Soon they realized that Bai Sui'an's skills were indeed extraordinary, and gradually began to cooperate with him.
They were exhausted, and no one's fist could hit Bai Sui'an.
Although the younger girls have short arms and legs, they are not without older people.
Ah Hong stopped panting and watched Bai Sui'an's moves from the side.
People who practice martial arts all have a competitive spirit. Ah Lan was a little too excited. She and her two sisters seemed tireless and became more and more excited as the fight went on.
It might be that Bai Sui'an was letting them off. He had figured out their approximate strength when they were fighting one-on-one before, and now he was fighting them with a strength that was equal to theirs.
Ah Huang also stopped and watched Bai Sui'an's moves with Ah Hong.
She immediately noticed something was wrong: "Miss, you didn't use such little strength when you fought me just now."
Among the seven people, she was the only one who practiced boxing and had the best experience in close combat. Bai Sui'an also used a little more strength when fighting with her.
Ah Hong shook her head helplessly: "It's true, the second young lady's skills are far superior to ours, and we can't see the bottom of it."
Unlike the others who have practiced hard since childhood, Bai Sui'an's flexible response ability and control of his moves are even more experienced than those of a veteran.
I can't say he's been through hundreds of battles, but at least he's lived on the edge of a knife.
Without letting them expend too much energy, Bai Sui'an called a halt at the right time.
Ah Lan collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. After the fight, she felt that her relationship with Bai Sui'an had become much closer. She spoke without hesitation:
"It's really strange. The Second Young Miss is so powerful, why does she need us to protect her? The seven of us following her would be a burden."
"How can you talk like that?" Ah Zi glared at her. She was equally exhausted, but she didn't hesitate to bicker with the sister she had just fought alongside. "As long as you follow the young lady's instructions, you won't be a burden."
After she finished speaking, she smiled sweetly at Bai Sui'an: "Miss, you are so amazing, can you teach me too?"
A word of advice woke Bai Sui'an up from his dream. He was also wondering, if Su Xia really wanted to protect her, why did she only send seven little girls? Is there no more powerful person in the mansion?
"Miss?" Seeing that Bai Sui'an didn't respond, Ah Zi called her again, "Have I crossed the line?"
Bai Sui'an slowly shook his head and said, "I'll be leaving tomorrow after I finish my stay here. I won't have time to teach you."
Ah Qing continued: "Yes, my wife said that we will all follow you from now on."
Bai Sui'an was stunned. She didn't know these things either.
She wanted to find Su Xia and ask clearly, but Ah Hong said that Su Xia was busy arranging a way out for the servants in the villa and was not available today.
Bai Sui'an was not informed of all the decisions made in Mingyue Villa. Even the four girls around him knew more than Bai Sui'an.
Bai Sui'an had to guess the real purpose of Xu Hongxiu and his wife.
Have you really discussed this with Ye Zihu?
Or is it that the parents of my sister-in-law are not good people?
Bai Sui'an didn't dare to guess what was going on. It couldn't be that the two elders wanted to arrange everything for her, saying that she could survive on her own, but in fact Xu Hongxiu had already made arrangements and she was the one taking the risk?
