Xue Qinghe is naturally not a careless person, and he has expected this for a long time.

Holding the little girl, she rolled to the side, dodging the culling of the soul beast.

"Go over there."

Xue Qinghe let go of the little girl, although the little girl seemed to be scared stupid, but she still came back to her senses and hurriedly left here, she also knew that if she continued to stay here, it might be a burden to Xue Qinghe.

The little girl ran away, and Xue Qinghe also set his eyes on this tiger-type soul beast.

"Whew...."

The tiger soul beast threw itself into the air, and its beastly eyes were full of ruthlessness.

The four claws bent slightly, and the body bowed forward slightly, this was the action of their kind of creatures when hunting, and at this moment, in his eyes, the role of the prey had changed, it was originally the little girl, but now it has become Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe didn't say anything, the guy in front of him was a soul beast without spiritual intelligence in his eyes, what was the use of talking about more.

When the tiger soul beast accelerated violently and headed straight for the Xueqing River, the bloody mouth emitted a fishy smell.

Xue Qinghe's body leaned back slightly, and then hit the tiger soul beast with a punch.

The tiger soul beast suffered pain again, and was violently swept out and rolled aside.

It is indeed shocking that a little boy who doesn't look big has such great power, but it is largely because of his soul ring.

His first soul ring is also a tiger, and it is the highest quality he can adapt to, so the bonus he gets is also terrifying.

Although small, it has strength beyond its age.

And Xue Qinghe was not ready to give the tiger soul beast a chance to react this time, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and a sword hit the chest of the tiger soul beast, and a sword penetrated the heart of the soul beast.

The tiger soul beast still wanted to resist, but at this moment it was really powerless, and finally died in an unwilling look.

Seeing that the soul beast was dead, the surrounding guards hurriedly stepped forward to deal with the soul beast.

And Xue Qinghe was also stained with the blood of the tiger soul beast, but he didn't mind it.

The little girl before was also protected by two guards, and her eyes were full of gratitude.

"Thank you..... Thank you.... You. ”

The little girl was very grateful, probably because of the rest of her life, and she was not so fluent in speech.

Xue Qinghe didn't care, and nodded slightly: "What about your family?" ”

It is really strange that such a person appeared in this place at such a small age.

It must be different from him, he came prepared, but despite this, there are still many guards by his side to escort him, compared to this little girl, it must be different.

The little girl was dressed in rags, wearing a tattered long dress, and there were indeed a lot of stains on her body, but she could still vaguely see that she was wearing a long white dress.

"I ...... I don't have a family ......"

The little girl's big beautiful eyes were full of loneliness.

"And how did you get to this place? Don't know that this place is dangerous? ”

Xue Qinghe said, although this is a hunting forest, and the soul beasts in it are all captive, but no matter how they are, the soul beasts in it are all very fierce and hateful to humans, let alone such a big little girl.

"I.... I do not know... I was running and running and suddenly there was that big thing chasing me, and then I ran ......."

The little girl said, but obviously, she is so young, and she does not have two lives as a foundation like Xue Qinghe.

In the final analysis, children at this age are not very sensible, how can they understand so many things.

"I... I don't have a home either. ”

The little girl's pitiful appearance was slightly touched even by the guards on the side who had always had their faces and expressions.

"What's your name?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"I.... My name is Xiaoxue. The little girl replied.

"Xiao Xue....." When he heard this name, a light flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, and after a while, he said: "You don't have a family, and you don't know anyone else, so why don't you follow me." ”

"But.... May I? The little girl was a little surprised that someone was willing to take her in.

"Hmm." Xue Qinghe nodded, and then said to the guard beside him, "Clean up and go back to the academy." ”

Along the way, Xue Qinghe didn't ask anything, and the little girl also stayed quietly by Xue Qinghe's side, very well-behaved.

........

Back at the academy, Xue Qinghe asked Xiaoxue to freshen up, and he himself went to bathe.

Not long after he bathed, Xiaoxue was also dressed up to see Xue Qinghe.

"Your Highness."

I don't know if the people who groomed Xiaoxue taught her what or what she said, but Xue Qinghe didn't have time to pay attention to this.

"You stay with me and be my maid." Xue Qinghe said: "As for other things, I will go and tell my father." ”

Xiaoxue knew the identity of the person in front of her, so she didn't dare to say more.

The subsequent life is as usual, I have to say that this Xiaoxue is very sensible, and other maids were originally taken care of by Xue Qinghe, but now, it is gradually replaced by Xiaoxue.

"Your Highness, your tea."

Xue Qinghe, who was reading a book, heard the voice and looked over, only to see Xiaoxue coming over with a pot of tea and making tea for his originally empty cup.

Xue Qinghe took a sip of tea, looked at Xiaoxue, and said, "Xiaoxue, has anyone said that you are very smart?" ”

"Nope." Xiaoxue's face was pale red, and she shook her head slightly after hearing Xue Qinghe's words.

"Your qualifications are good, you can try to cultivate." Xue Qinghe put down the cup and said, "After all, if you follow me, if it's just a vase, you can say it." ”

"Vase?" Xiao Xue was a little puzzled, after all, although she understood what this word meant, but it was definitely not the meaning she knew when she said it in Xue Qinghe's mouth.

"Ordinary people mean." Xue Qinghe explained.

"Xiaoxue will work hard." Xiaoxue lowered her head and said.

"Well, you are now my maid, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me, or go to other tutors in the academy, I won't stop you." Xue Qinghe said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiaoxue said: "Your Highness, Xiaoxue won't bother you. ”

"Go ahead."

Leaving Xue Qinghe's study, Xiaoxue outside held her jade fist.

In fact, her qualifications are not bad at all, and she even surpasses Xue Qinghe, but outside, it is impossible for her to reveal the slightest thing about her background.

And the so-called secret in her heart, in fact, Xue Qinghe already knew it.

Both have their own plans, and they are not developing according to the original as before, which would be too absolute.
