After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 481 A big wedding

What is this talking about?

Is it human language?

Why can't they understand?

Xie Xing was struck as if by lightning.

No wonder, no wonder she felt something was different; it turns out they could hear her thoughts.

Are you kidding her?

Xie Xing was in a daze. She didn't leave the secret passage until the Xie family father and son left the study. Looking at the tightly closed door, Xie Xing didn't even know what the conditions were for triggering her inner voice.

Silence, deathly silence.

Both she and the system were startled.

You should know that everything they say is something that no one else can know.

But now, they say they can hear her thoughts, and not only them, but Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng can hear them too.

So, when did we begin to hear these inner voices?

"System?" Xie Xing murmured, "What's going on?"

System: [I don't know, I'll go check!]

The system was in a panic.

Xie Xing's heart was pounding: "In other words, they could hear my thoughts from the very beginning, which is why the plot changed."

If that's the case, then it explains why those previous oddities arose.

No wonder she went from being an unknown nobody in the Xie family to someone with a high profile who was noticed by all three Xie brothers.

No wonder Luo Hanfeng was able to dodge her schemes when they first met.

No wonder Jun Lanjin suddenly treated her differently; it turns out that all of this was predicated on her innermost thoughts being exposed, and everyone in the story was able to overhear them.

They heard her inner voice, without revealing the details, attempting to uncover more.

The more Xie Xing thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on his back.

If, if they were at the bad spot, they could arrest her and extract the information they wanted from her inner thoughts.

Isn't everything over?

Was Luo Hanfeng's supposedly unfounded obsession with her, or Jun Lanjin's supposed affection, really because they could hear her thoughts?

System: [Host, you've arrived. These people can hear your thoughts because the male characters are ranked high on the popularity chart. The popularity chart has boosted their luck, and by a twist of fate, they can hear the thoughts of you, an outsider.]

Xie Xing: "How many people can hear my heart?"

The system said, "The three Xie brothers, the three Song brothers, and Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng."

Xie Xing said incredulously, "I can understand if my three older brothers are popular, but why are the three older brothers from the Xie family also popular?"

The system coughed lightly: "[This book is, after all, told from Xie Mingzhu's perspective. The plot of the three older brothers endlessly doting on their sister and father has attracted many readers.]"

"But didn't they still die later?"

This doesn't affect their popularity.

Xie Xing remained silent.

"So, only male characters can hear my inner thoughts?"

"No, your cousin Xie Jiaojiao can also hear your thoughts," the system added.

Xie Xing was incredulous: "You say these people can hear my thoughts because of the popularity rankings, but why can Xie Jiaojiao hear my thoughts too?"

Is she more popular than the female lead, Xie Mingzhu?

The system coughed lightly; "It's like this, Xie Jiaojiao, being a villainous supporting character with a huge amount of screen time, attracted all the viewers' hatred. Even at the extreme of negative value, she still possesses extra luck, which is why she can hear your thoughts."

Xie Xing: "..."

"Is that all there is?"

The system stated: "Based on my detection, this is the result."

silence.

Xie Xing was speechless for a long time.

Seeing her like this, the system said tremblingly, "Host, are you alright? Actually, I don't think this is a bad thing. Look, even though they can hear your thoughts, you're still close to completing the mission."

This could actually become a powerful tool for you to complete your mission.

Some people don't easily believe what others say, but they have unwavering faith in themselves.

Xie Xing could take advantage of this and pretend to think of things that would benefit her, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Xie Xing took a deep breath: "This is the only thing we can do now."

Is there a limit to this "listening to one's inner thoughts" technique?

The system replied: "Yes, within a radius of ten meters."

Xie Xing nodded.

"From today onwards, if I don't ask you to speak, then you shouldn't speak."

These people should be able to hear her thoughts if they don't leave, and there's a very high chance they can also hear the system's voice.

【understood. 】

After leaving the Xie family's study, Xie Xing knocked out a maid, changed into a maid's outfit, and disguised himself slightly before joining the wedding procession.

Because it was the Fifth Princess's wedding, even the Emperor of Chu came.

Outside the Xie residence, it was bustling with activity, but Xie Xing, standing in the backyard of the Xie family, could sense that countless figures were hiding in the shadows, waiting for this moment.

Even now, Xie Xing still marvels at the security of the Xie family mansion.

It feels like the Xie family is a sieve; people can get in anywhere.

However, the Xie family must have known they were planning to make a move today, so they must have prepared everything, right?

Xie Xing followed the maids into the front hall.

In the front hall, Xie Tongchen and the Fifth Princess were dressed in bright red wedding robes, holding a wedding ball in their hands.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

A sharp sound echoed throughout the Xie residence.

Just as Xie Tongchen and the Fifth Princess were bowing to each other, a cold light flashed, and someone shouted, "Take the Emperor's dog's life!"

The cold light is shining everywhere.

Screams erupted from the surrounding area.

Xie Tongchen immediately raised his head, handed the Fifth Princess to the guard beside him, and pulled out a long sword from his sleeve: "Protect the Princess!"

The Chu emperor, seated above, was greatly alarmed.

He was about to crawl off the chair and under it.

The glint of swords and the stench of blood quickly filled the entire courtyard.

When Xie Xing saw Jun Lanjin stand up, he raised his hand, and many Fenglang Guards emerged from behind the walls of the Xie family compound.

"Protect His Majesty!"

With the grand wedding at the Xie family mansion and the emperor in attendance, there are countless officials in the Xie family's front hall. Luo Hanfeng seems intent on wiping them all out!

Xie Xing kept looking for Song Qingyang and Song Ci'an. She didn't see Song Ci'an, but she did see Song Qingyang.

Song Qingyang was just a civil official; how could he possibly handle so many assassins?

He then hid behind the guards, intending to run away.

Upon seeing this, Xie Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards Song Qingyang.

However, there were many assassins around, and they seemed to have gone berserk.

They didn't even spare the maids and servants.

Just as Xie Xing was about to walk over, an assassin's sword suddenly thrust towards him.

Seeing this, Xie Xing immediately dodged away in a disheveled manner.

In that flash, someone bumped into him from behind.

The man assumed it was her turn and grabbed her arm, intending to turn her over.

When Xie Xing looked up, she was met with Xie Yuze's familiar face.

"Xing'er?!" Xie Yuze exclaimed in shock.
