"Help me, please save me."
Luo Bingbing knew without thinking that this weak cry for help came from the little beggar lying on the ground. However, after being beaten for so long without begging for mercy from his enemies, and waking up from unconsciousness so quickly, his determination was truly remarkable.
She couldn't help but stop, turn around, and slowly say, "I never save useless trash."
Hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the little beggar struggled to lift his head and stared at her, saying, "I am not trash; I will show you my worth."
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing's lips curled slightly as she calmly replied, "Good, you have ambition. If you can stand up and swear lifelong loyalty to me without betrayal, then not only will I save you, but I will also elevate you to the top of this world, where all the people will look up to you and worship you."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the little beggar felt greatly encouraged. He exerted his incredible willpower to try to stand up. He fell down, then got back up; he fell again and got back up again. After countless attempts, he finally stood up. However, after swearing to the heavens, he collapsed once more and fell into a deep unconsciousness.
Yet he knew that he had passed Luo Bingbing's test and met her requirements, which brought him a sense of peace.
Seeing that he had passed her test and met her expectations, Luo Bingbing felt very pleased. A smile that was delightful to behold appeared on her face as she swiftly moved to catch him just before he hit the ground.
With a gentle wave of her hand, she set up an invisible barrier around them.
Inside the barrier, the little beggar remained unconscious while Luo Bingbing used her healing ability to mend his injuries. Before long, the little beggar woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Luo Bingbing, he immediately knelt before her and said, "I pay my respects to my master; thank you for saving my life!"
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and asked, "What is your name?"
"In response to my master's question, I have no name," the little beggar quickly replied.
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing slightly frowned and said, "What did others call you before?"
"They all called me Little Beggar."
Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "Remember, do not refer to yourself as a servant in front of me; just use 'I.' I do not want my people to belittle themselves."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the Little Beggar was quite surprised, thinking to himself how strange and kind this master was. However, having learned to read people's expressions from a young age, he did not show it. He quickly replied, "Yes."
"I will give you a name. Since you have no surname, you can take mine! From now on, you shall be called Luo Yi!"
After hearing this, the Little Beggar felt compelled to kneel and bow to Luo Bingbing, saying, "Luo Yi thanks the master for the name."
On the surface, he showed no emotion at all, but inside he was extremely excited, constantly shouting in his heart: "I finally have a name! I have my own name now."
However, he did not realize that his heart had already betrayed him. With his heart racing so fast, how could Luo Bingbing not notice?
While his heart was still pounding and had not calmed down, he heard Luo Bingbing's clear and youthful voice. "Alright, I will take you back to the manor to wash up and change your clothes!"
The Little Beggar quickly responded, "Thank you, Master."
With a wave of her hand, the invisible barrier disappeared. As soon as the barrier vanished, she activated her Ability and instantly transported herself and the Little Beggar back to her study.
The Little Beggar saw that although this master was quite young, she possessed such abilities and remarkable martial skills that were also very peculiar. Instead of feeling afraid, he was filled with excitement and exhilaration! He thought to himself: This choice was truly right; I will no longer be bullied by others.
Luo Bingbing sat on the Carved Wooden Chair and looked deeply at the Little Beggar across from her. Seeing that he was not afraid but rather excited after experiencing her Ability and witnessing such rare and strange martial skills made her nod inwardly in satisfaction with his reaction. She called out loudly for the maidservants working in the courtyard to come over and instructed them to take the Little Beggar down for a bath and change of clothes.
The few maidservants working in the courtyard hurried over after hearing her words, but they were still quite surprised and puzzled when they saw Luo Bingbing. Clearly, the Little Princess had only just left with the Lord a short while ago, and she hadn’t entered through the main gate of Piaoyun Pavilion—how could she suddenly appear in the study?
No matter how confused they were, they didn’t dare to question Luo Bingbing. They knew their place, but they were even more afraid of her.
As for Luo Bingbing, she had naturally noticed their puzzled expressions but chose to ignore them. However, their looks reminded her that the Nursemaid and her so-called Lord Father were still out on the streets and might be worried since she hadn’t returned for so long.
Thinking of this, Luo Bingbing quickly activated her Ability to send a message into the hearts of the Nursemaid and her so-called Lord Father, telling them not to worry about her as she had already returned home.
Meanwhile, Lo An Lord and his companions had searched every corner of Silver City, causing quite a stir. The citizens of Silver City were already aware that Lo An Lord's youngest daughter was missing and no one knew where she had gone. They had scoured every place in Silver City without finding any trace of her, let alone her presence.
The Nursemaid was in tears, while Lo An Lord was frantic. Just when they had searched everywhere and didn’t know where else to look, they suddenly heard Luo Bingbing’s voice and words in their hearts.
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing’s message, they couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated. Here they were, panicking and searching frantically, while that little girl had quietly run back home without a word, leaving them to turn Silver City upside down, causing a commotion that even caught the attention of the Emperor.
Lo An Lord immediately called back those he had sent out to search for her, informing them that there was no need to look anymore as she had returned home. He instructed the Nursemaid to hurry back and take care of her properly, ensuring that nothing went wrong again.
He then rushed back to the private room on the upper floor of the Reception Building to report to His Majesty that she had returned home safely.
The Emperor nodded slightly upon hearing this and then asked Lo An Lord why he had suddenly returned after being away for several years and what business brought him back now.
