Yun Bixue's footing was a little unsteady, and her face was pale as a sheet. But her gaze was cold and resolute.

Seeing Young Madam in this manner, Little Summer felt trepidation. She summoned the servants to stay by Young Madam's side, worried she might fall by accident.

Yun Bixue's hand gripped the door as she instructed Little Summer, “Bring the box I placed under my bed.”

“Yes, yes…”

When Little Summer brought it over, Yun Bixue opened the box. Armed with her weapon, she started aiming her silver needles at those people in the courtyard.

After that, she took a gun. Carrying that gun, she walked to the courtyard and said coldly, “Give me the child.”

That person held up an umbrella in the rain, and his face couldn't be seen clearly.

Around them, men from both sides were engaged in a fierce battle. The hidden guards were protecting Yun Bixue, whereas the other party's men of sacrifice protected the child.

The person with the umbrella said calmly, “You are Yun Bixue? The child carries the blood of the Xie family, so it's only right that he be brought back.”

“That is my child!”

“Yun Bixue, has no one ever told you that this is the next successor? From the time he is born, he should undergo training at the headquarters' Brocade Hall.”

Yun Bixue shot that person a cold and murderous look. She spun around and aimed the silver needles at the other party.

Yun Bixue then started firing shots from her gun.

With one arm carrying the child while the other whipped the umbrella, the man nimbly blocked off Yun Bixue's attacks.

There was a fiery glow in Yun Bixue's eyes. “Don't dream about bringing the child back to that Brocade Hall.”

“Didn't Xie Limo tell you that he was groomed in Brocade Hall when he was young?”

Yun Bixue's gaze flickered. Xie Limo hadn't told her indeed.

The hidden guards of the Xie family said to the man, “Hall Master, this is between Young Master Xie and Young Madam. It's up to them to decide. You can't take away Little Master as you please.”

“Oh? But I have to bring him away today. I'm acting under the orders of the Elder's Home.”

Yun Bixue was astounded. “Elder's Home?”

The man carrying the baby maintained a calm demeanor throughout. “Oh, you come from Country A and can't possibly know of the Elder's Home at the headquarters. But I think you should have an impression of the Second Elder, whom you've met.”

Having persisted till now, Yun Bixue's body couldn't take it anymore. But she still held on, letting the rain batter upon her while she confronted that man, determined to take back her baby.

But her body was extremely frail and certainly no match for this man. Plus, he had brought many men with him, hundreds of them.

Yun Bixue clenched her teeth and said coldly, “I am the Young Madam of the Xie family. I have the right to order you to set down the child.”

The hall master laughed devilishly. “Too bad your orders have no effect on Brocade Hall.”

Yun Bixue felt like a part of her heart was cut off as she gazed at her child. “I'm his mother. His mother…”

Just then, a loud gunshot resounded throughout the skies, and a long whip flashed by. Xie Limo landed from the skies and fiercely lashed out the whip, fending off those people surrounding them and appearing by Yun Bixue's side.

He hugged Yun Bixue. Looking at her manner, he felt as if his heart was being pressed upon by a rock, making him unable to breathe. He felt like knife blades were stirring inside of him.

“Ah Xue, Ah Xue, are you alright?”

When Yun Bixue saw Xie Limo, it was like she saw her savior. She tugged at Xie Limo's collar and said, “Limo, the child. You mustn't let them take him away.”

Xie Limo nodded and said solemnly, “Okay.”
