Chapter 151: Rescuing Shadowless 8

Qingyu Pang plopped down on the ground with a relieved sigh. "That was so thrilling!"

Xiaoyu Pang chuckled. "Luckily, Miss Luo was quick-witted, or we wouldn’t have held out this long."

At that moment, twenty archers approached with synchronized steps.

They were the team led by Meili Sang.

In the darkness, all dressed in black and wearing masks, they exuded a mysterious aura.

Although Luo Xia didn’t sense any immediate threat from them, she remained vigilant.

Seeing Xiaoyu Pang’s relaxed expression, she smiled and asked, “Brother Pang, did you arrange for these people to come?”

He hoped he had.

Xiaoyu Pang laughed. “I couldn’t have gotten them here.”

“Then who saved us?” Luo Xia asked, puzzled.

“Master Pang.”

Meili Sang stepped forward and greeted Xiaoyu Pang politely.

As a friend of the Prince of the Commandery, Xiaoyu Pang naturally treated him as an honored guest.

Xiaoyu Pang smiled, “Brother Sang, no need for formalities. It’s fortunate you arrived in time; otherwise, we’d have had a tough time.”

Meanwhile, Zhao Cai and Xing Yun were frantically working on refining their inner cores.

Sang Meili nodded expressionlessly and then turned to Luo Xia, bowing respectfully. “Greetings, Princess of the Commandery.”

With his movement, the other twenty archers knelt in unison. “Greetings, Princess of the Commandery.”

Luo Xia looked at the masked man before her with confusion.

His face was completely covered, making it impossible to see his features—and she couldn’t recall ever meeting him.

“Do you know me?” Luo Xia asked, unfazed by his gesture.

Scenes like this were common on television; in the strict hierarchy of ancient times, she understood such customs.

“Sang Meili, stop pretending and take that annoying cloth off your face!” Qingyu Pang, who found Sang Meili easy to tease, enjoyed provoking him.

But Sang Meili remained unmoved.

Sang Meili?

Luo Xia searched her mind for any recollection of this name but drew a blank.

“Princess of the Commandery, I am Sang Meili, sent by my master to protect you,” he said.

“Your master? Who is your master?” she asked.

Xiaoyu Pang and his sister nearly choked on their words!

Situ’s move was meant to reveal his identity to Luo Xia, yet she remained unaware!

Now Sang Meili was troubled—should he reveal the Prince of the Commandery’s identity to her?

At that moment, Luo Yi swooped down.

A flood of questions raced through her mind.

Sang Meili had arrived, and Luo Yi was flustered.

She told herself that these people were sent by the Prince to protect her, and calling it protection for the Princess of the Commandery was merely for appearances.

“Third sister, so you’re here! You made me search everywhere,” Luo Yi said confidently.

This was because the patriarch Luo had also appeared.

Since the Prince’s men were so courteous to Luo Xia, Luo Yi assumed they would be just as polite to her—and perhaps even kneel before her.

Yet Sang Meili and his team remained indifferent, not even sparing her a glance.

Luo Yi was furious but could only swallow her frustration; she was on the verge of breaking down.

Sang Meili—just wait until she became Princess of the Commandery; he would regret this!

Luo Xia paid no mind to Luo Yi.

She hadn’t anticipated her grandfather’s arrival at this moment and was a little taken aback.

It seemed impossible now to play the fool and conceal her strength within the Luo household.

Patriarch Luo’s keen eyes could not be deceived.

“Luo Xia, you have quite the courage. How dare you enter the Beast Forest without any spiritual power? Aren’t you afraid of being devoured?” the patriarch scolded, naturally asserting his status to command respect from Sang Meili and his men.

Yet, everyone remained unmoved.

Xiaoyu Pang sighed. “Miss Luo, if you don’t tell them to stand, they might kneel until dawn.”

Qingyu Pang joined in teasing, “Exactly, don’t lose sight of your goal just because some insignificant people show up.”
