Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

"Little A Qiao isn't from the Beggars' Sect. She's pitiful; her parents just passed away, leaving her all alone..."

The sound continued, but Ye Bai could no longer hear what came next.

The beggar woman in front of me is actually Xiao Aqiao?

Isn't that the only female bodyguard among the Thirteen Bodyguards, the future Eldest Sister?!

The eldest sister of later generations was charming and domineering, with a beauty that could topple empires. She wore a signature red and black printed cheongsam and seemed delicate, yet she wielded a thunderous ruthlessness.

And at this moment, it was this little girl, huddled in a corner...

In other words, none of the "Thirteen Protectors" in the Shanghai Stock Exchange have yet been formed...

Thinking of this, Ye Bai's mind began to stir slightly.

Chapter 1 Little A Qiao: Can I follow you from now on?

At this moment, Xiao Aqiao was huddled in a corner of the alley.

A chilly wind blew by, and she tugged at her thin clothes, trying to warm her neck.

But when the clothes, which no longer fit properly, were pulled off, my arms were exposed again, and a chill immediately ran through them.

At that moment, a rumbling sound from her stomach reminded her that she hadn't eaten for several days.

Hunger and cold came at the same time, causing Xiao Aqiao to bury her head lower and lower.

Just as her weariness intensified and her body grew increasingly weak, a pair of black leather shoes suddenly caught her eye.

Xiao Aqiao looked up and saw a bodyguard in black standing in front of her.

The somewhat familiar black attire made her realize that these were people from the Paramount Ballroom.

But what are they here for?

Just as she was thinking this, she saw several steamed buns being handed to her.

"Give."

The rich aroma of the steamed buns wafted over from the oil paper, making Xiao Aqiao's nose twitch several times. She could even vaguely make out that the filling was the fresh meat she had always wanted to eat...

Is this steamed bun for myself?

The rich aroma filled her nostrils, making her swallow hard.

But in the way Xiao Aqiao looked at the bodyguard in black, there was a clear hint of suspicion.

The black-clad bodyguard noticed this suspicion and found it somewhat amusing.

He listened to Brother Ye's instructions, saying that he felt sorry for the girl and should give her some food, but he didn't expect that Xiao Aqiao in front of him wouldn't believe him.

"It's for you, what else would I want from you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Aqiao was startled, and her vigilance immediately subsided.

Indeed, he was penniless and had nothing left.

My parents are gone, and I'm all alone now.

What else could anyone possibly want?

Unable to resist glancing again at the steamed bun the bodyguard in black was offering her, Xiao Aqiao no longer hesitated.

She snatched the steamed bun from the front of her and quickly took the first bite.

The soft, chewy bun skin gave way to a mouthful of juicy meat filling, and Xiao Aqiao's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

How long has it been since she ate something so delicious since her parents passed away?

Most of the food we usually eat is just leftovers.

They also frequently face being chased away by beggars from the Beggars' Guild...

Her stomach, which hadn't eaten for a long time, was immediately filled with a warm current, and Xiao Aqiao began to wolf down her food.

With big gulps, the last bun was quickly finished.

After swallowing the last bite, Xiao Aqiao raised her face again and uttered two words in her hoarse voice.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard in black pointed at Ye Bai, who was still standing at the door, and said with a hint of pride.

"If you want to thank someone, thank Brother Ye."

Upon hearing the words "Brother Ye," Xiao Aqiao raised her head and looked at the man in the long robe at the door.

The man was dressed in a long gown and mandarin jacket, the black robe with its subtle patterns revealing a hint of unruliness.

From a distance, it resembles a drawn sword, exuding a cold, sharp aura.

She vaguely overheard the man in front of her handling the matter of the coachman and the beggar.

The coachman and the beggars were fighting so fiercely,

But the man in front of her easily settled things with just a few words.

An existence so different from myself, like heaven and earth...

As Xiao Aqiao looked at the photos, a feeling of inferiority arose within her.

At the same time, a sudden idea popped into Xiao Aqiao's mind and kept growing.

Can she go with the man in front of her?

Thinking this, Xiao Aqiao saw Ye Bai turn to the side, seemingly about to leave, and became even more anxious.

The idea from earlier has sprouted and continues to grow.

No!

She can't let him go!

A voice inside her called out, and she jumped up and ran towards Ye Bai with all her might.

"and many more!"

This shout also reached Ye Bai's ears.

Turning his head, Ye Bai saw Xiao A Qiao running up to him, panting heavily, still out of breath.

"I...I......"

It seemed like she hadn't run in a long time, and the wind made Xiao Aqiao's throat feel even more burning and painful.

But she didn't notice this at all, and was busy organizing what she wanted to say.

The black-clad bodyguards behind her caught up, seemingly surprised that the beggar woman had run so fast.

At this moment, the bodyguard in black took the initiative to report.

"Brother Ye, I did as you instructed, and I didn't expect her to run up immediately."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai nodded, then turned his gaze to the figure in front of him with yellowish hair, clearly showing signs of malnutrition.

I just wanted to make a good connection with this future elder sister, so I gave her some food...

What is Xiao Aqiao up to right now?

Ye Bai's eyes still held a hint of doubt when he saw Xiao A Qiao seemingly using all her strength to muster up her courage and shout.

"Can I follow you from now on?"

As she said this, Xiao Aqiao's eyes clearly showed a strong hope, but at the same time, one could also see the fear of being rejected.

Ye Bai was taken aback.

Was he moved by a few steamed buns he made?

Is the future eldest sister really that easy to fool these days?

Ye Bai's dazed expression was interpreted by Xiao A Qiao as a possible rejection, and her tone quickened.

"I can do anything!"

"Even if I don't know how now, I can learn. I'm sure I can learn faster than anyone else!"

"Just let me stay!"

"Then you can stay."

As Ye Bai finished speaking, Xiao A Qiao's eyes were filled with surprise.

At this moment, she bit her lip even more tightly as she spoke.

"I will definitely not let you down!"
