Sheng Xu still followed Shi Qian. After some thought, he said, âHow about⦠Iâll protect you. Iâll send you to and from school to prevent anyone from kidnapping you.â
âYouâ¦â Shi Qian looked at him. âProtect me? Are you sure?â
âOf course, Iâm sure. With you by my side, who would dare to touch you? Jiang Chen would consider whether itâs worth offending the Jiang family.â
âYou have a point.â Shi Qian nodded.
Sheng Xu chuckled. âThatâs a must. So, let me pick you up in the future.â
âBut I donât need it.â
Sheng Xu was speechless.
Sheng Xu frowned slightly and looked at Shi Qian seriously. âShi Qian, Iâm not trying to scare you. The struggle between wealthy families is crueler than you can imagine.
âDonât think everything will be fine just because youâre good at martial arts. Itâs easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark! Iâm doing this for your good. Andâ¦â
After a pause, Sheng Xu lowered his voice and said, âI just received news that people from Beiluo Sect have appeared in the Imperial Capital. Although Iâm unsure if itâs related to the Jiang family, the Imperial Capital hasnât been peaceful recently.â
âThe people from Beiluo Sectâ¦â
Shi Qian looked at Sheng Xu in surprise. He unexpectedly realized he was well-informed.
Murong Jing had only been in the capital for a week, and the Sheng family had already received the news.
Sheng Xu thought Shi Qian didnât know about Beiluo Sect, so he explained. âBeiluo Sect is the number one power in North America. It is an exceptionally influential and terrifying existence. I heard that the person who came to the capital this time is one of the three great experts, the rumored female devil Murong Jing kills without blinking.
âIf they interfered in the Jiang familyâs affairs, whoever helped wouldnât win. And the losing side would only have one outcome, death without a burial place.
âHowever, you donât have to be too afraid. If the people from Beiluo Sect are helping Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen will still have some concerns if you stay by my side.â
Shi Qian smiled.
She didnât need to be afraid. The rumored devil had come to school to look for her last week. The two even ate grilled fish near the school.
Although she did not know the purpose of Murong Jingâs visit to the Imperial Capital, she was confident that it had nothing to do with the Jiang family.
âSheng Xu, since you know so much, do you know what the rumored she-devil of Beiluo Sect looks like?â Shi Qian asked.
Sheng Xu shook his head. âI donât know. Although the Sheng family has gathered information about her coming to the capital, that woman is elusive. No one knows where she is or what she looks like.â
âOh, I thought you already knew where she was.â It seemed that Murong Jing had not been completely exposed.
âThat wonât happen. We wouldnât deliberately follow her even if we knew she was in Hillford. It wouldnât be good if she discovered us and caused her a misunderstanding.â
âThatâs true.â Shi Qian nodded. She momentarily looked at the teaching building before her and said, âIâm here. Arenât you leaving yet?â
Sheng Xu was momentarily stunned. Three black lines appeared on his foreheadâ¦
âIâve told you so much. Did you listen to me?!â He said through gritted teeth.
âIâm listening. Sheng Xu, thank you for your kindness. However, you donât have to do this. Iâll be fine. Jiang Chen canât do anything to me.â
Sheng Xu looked at her. He didnât know what to say.
Shi Qian smiled and said softly, âLetâs go. Letâs play games tonight.â
With that, she turned around and entered the teaching building.
Sheng Xu stood downstairs and felt defeated again.. Did this woman know the seriousness of the situation?
