Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1231: The Hua Residence Attacked

”Hua Nianyi, eat as much as you like. It was meant for you, and I have more when you finish.” Luo Qianqian watched as Hua Nianyi looked eagerly, and directly beckoned her over.

Hua Nianyi sat down without hesitation, reached for the creamy bread she had been smelling for a long time, and was about to stuff it into her mouth.

Hua Siye stopped her again, ”Sister, don’t...”

This bread, none of them had eaten it yet, what if it was poisoned...

”Second brother, big brother is here!” Hua Nianyi suddenly stood up and called out while looking in one direction.

Instinctively, Hua Siye turned around, and Hua Nianyi unhesitatingly stuffed the creamy bread into her mouth, ”It’s so delicious.”

Xiao Rou stood by, swallowing her saliva, but didn’t dare to move.

Hua Siye realized that his sister had tricked him and was speechless. He looked at the bread in the box, and with the thought that if she were to die, they might as well die together so as not to leave his sister lonely, he was about to grab some.

Luo Qianqian unceremoniously tossed a dagger, landing in Hua Siye’s reaching direction, and raised an eyebrow provocatively, ”Want a bite? Pay up! I brought this for the Hua family’s eldest Miss. Are you her to eat for free?”

Hua Nianyi looked at her brother being thrown a dagger by Luo Qianqian and was completely unbothered, quietly eating the creamy bread, her eyes curiously observing the two people.

She had already determined that Luo Qianqian was a good person. If she were a villain, wouldn’t they already be fighting by now?

”Don’t be so stingy. You see, I’ve eaten so much already.” Yan naturally reached out, took a creamy bread, and stuffed it into his mouth amid Hua Siye’s angry expression.

”Go ahead and eat; you’re one of us. This Shiyu enemy almost tried to kill us just now.” Luo Qianqian said bluntly.

Yan nodded, ”You’re right. The dagger on the ground has sunk an inch into the stone floor. If that kind of strength hit a person... tsk tsk...”

Hua Nianyi frowned slightly at those words, ”Second brother.”

”Yiyi, this isn’t my fault. I was ready to let them go, but he dared ask me for money? And the things delivered to the Hua Residence, and he’s still asking for money?” Hua Siye was so angry at the two that he was grinding his teeth.

”Haha, such bravery, hit me then.” Luo Qianqian put down what was in her hand and beckoned, and the dagger on the table returned to her hand.

Talisman tools are composed of elements, and controlling them was naturally not a problem for Luo Qianqian.

With a cold glance, the dagger hovered in the air, pointing straight at Hua Siye. She gently waved her hand and clenched her fist.

Like breaking bamboo, the dagger darted and lodged into the pavilion pillar behind Hua Siye, the blade entirely embedded.

Cold sweat immediately rolled down Hua Siye’s face, ”You’re a Cultivator!”

”I never said I wasn’t.” Luo Qianqian coldly looked at Hua Siye, ”Now, will you listen to what I say properly?”

At this moment, ten or so men dressed in black landed around the pavilion, and Luo Qianqian slightly frowned, ”It seems you truly don’t believe me, so forget it!”

Having accepted the money, if the job failed, there’s always the option of a refund!

”No, these aren’t our family’s Hidden Guards!” Hua Siye suddenly frowned deeply, looked at Luo Qianqian, ”Trouble you to protect my sister, Hua will apologize to you later!”

As Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, Hua Siye had already rushed out, pulling out the long sword at his waist and aiming at the nearest black-clad man. But the man’s movement was evidently more agile than Hua Siye, he slightly sidestepped, making Hua Siye only scratch his clothes, no substantial damage done.

”Second brother!” Hua Nianyi could no longer bother eating, standing up immediately with a worried expression.

The black-clad men cooperated to surround Hua Siye, and Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow at Yan, ”Who do you think they are after?”

”Ah!” Before Yan could respond, Hua Siye had already cried out in pain, evidently hit unexpectedly by a sneak attack.

Hua Nianyi immediately knelt in front of Luo Qianqian, ”I beg you, save my second brother.” She kowtowed twice, her forehead already red and swollen in just two knocks.

Seeing Hua Nianyi’s reaction, Xiao Rou also hurriedly kowtowed, murmuring, ”I beg this young lady not to hold grudges against Xiao Rou’s actions earlier, please save the second young master, though the second young master is brash, he deeply cares for the miss...”

Are you seeking help or exposing someone’s flaws?

”I can’t go.” Luo Qianqian, however, was very calm. Seeing the questioning looks from the two, she shrugged, ”First, because he’s a man and I’m a woman, if I save him, he will feel embarrassed. He would surely prefer defeating these people himself. As for the second point, if I went, you two might run into trouble.”

Yan leaned against the wooden pillar, gazing upwards slightly, and sighed lowly, ”For assassins, they’re rather unqualified, aren’t they?”

”Don’t be so picky. After all, they’re targeting a little girl. How would they know we’d bump into them? And who could have guessed, because of us, the Hua family’s second young master is also here?” Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, casually handing a dagger to Hua Nianyi, ”Here, for self-defense.”

Xiao Rou, trembling, watched Hua Nianyi shakily take the dagger, firmly took it, and stood behind Hua Nianyi, ”Miss, I’ll protect you!”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes speechlessly, fine, you have deep mistress-servant affection, she just watched from the side.

Seeing someone raise a dagger behind Hua Siye with a crazed look, and with opponents ahead he couldn’t ignore.

Luo Qianqian took a deep breath, ”Remember, each arrow costs a hundred thousand.”

There was a slight ripple in the air, and an ice arrow appeared before Luo Qianqian, flying at that person.

The next second, the man froze in mid-air, unable to move downward. Then he was carried away by the ice arrow to the back, landing heavily, his head tilted, life already extinguished.

Hua Nianyi released a breath she didn’t realize she was holding when she saw the man get struck away.

And the consequence of always being tense and then relaxing is —

Hua Nianyi softly fell backwards, her expression also showing relaxation. Fortunately, Xiao Rou was behind her, preventing her pretty head from having an intimate meeting with the ground.

”Miss! Miss!” Xiao Rou panicked, supporting Hua Nianyi who was half sitting on the ground.

At this moment, two fierce auras appeared in the courtyard. Soon, both the top of the pavilion and those surrounding Hua Siye were dealt with.

”Uh, uncle, there’s still one underwater.” Luo Qianqian pointed towards a fish pond, appearing calm.

Uncle? Hua Sicheng, confused, pointed to himself—was this young girl referring to him? Then he saw Luo Qianqian nod.

”Go take a look,” Hua Sicheng said to the man beside him, then helped Hua Siye up, frowning slightly, ”Are you alright?”

”Big brother!” Hua Nianyi, coming to amid Xiao Rou’s cries, saw her big brother and quickly wiped her tears, calling out to the man.

Luo Qianqian looked embarrassed and turned to Yan.

Yan avoided her gaze.

Not only Luo Qianqian, but even he hadn’t discerned that this man with a full beard was actually the brother of the seemingly slender young girl. Mistaking him for the father and daughter wasn’t unfounded, right?

”Yiyi.” Seeing that Hua Nianyi was fine, Hua Sicheng sighed in relief. Meanwhile, the man pulled out a male from the water, the man still holding a piece of waterweed in his hand for breathing.

Frowning tightly, ”What happened?”
