A tall, brawny man garbed in fur clothing walked into the courtyard with a spear. Behind him was the second uncle's son, the same man who tried to abduct Xiu Ying earlier.
"Xiu Ying!"
Instead of Xiu Ying, they saw a man using a stick to support himself emerge from the door and approach them.
His brows were raised.
"Why are you yelling her name in that manner?"
Ling Yao, the tall, brawny man who was the second uncle's chief warrior, sneered. "I'm here for Xiu Ying, not a cripple. Get out of the way before I break your remaining bones!"
"I'm not a cripple," Li Chen said amicably but Ling Yao's eyes gleamed.
"You talk back at me."
"Brother Yao, this cripple is the reason Xiu Ying has been rejecting all my proposals." Ling Xun pointed at Li Chen.
"Good, your uncle must have sent me here to deal with the reason Xiu Ying always rejects and it has been this cripple all along."
