You are not worthy of His Highness…?Xue Fanxin was fully focused on the fight when she suddenly heard those words, noticing the obvious disdain and contempt in Zhuiyue’s eyes. With Zhuiyue’s increased offensive power, she quickly lost, and the battle ended.

Xue Fanxin severely realized how weak she was. If not for Zhuiyue showing mercy, she would have already died a few hundred times.

She was really, really weak. With her strength, she could survive outside the Tong Realm, but in here, especially when enemies were everywhere, it was really bad.

She could not always rely on Ye Jiushang. It was not necessarily a good thing to depend on others too much. Therefore, she had to work hard to become stronger. And to do that, she had to have a plan before taking actual action. She couldn’t just mess around, or she would achieve nothing.

Zhuiyue really wanted to teach Xue Fanxin a lesson in this battle, letting her know her place and leave the Ninth Lord. At the critical moment, though, she received a warning from Zhuri. She returned to her senses and did not do anything out of line.

“Phew… I’m exhausted. Ah Jiu, I want to take a bath and have a good sleep.” Xue Fanxin was so tired that she collapsed onto the ground, not caring about her image at all.

Zhuiyue was dissatisfied with Xue Fanxin’s words and actions. No matter how well she hid it, people could still sense some clues.

Zhuri, who was standing by the side, was very disappointed in Zhuiyue’s performance today. However, since his master had not spoken, he would not say much.

If it weren’t for their friendship, he definitely wouldn’t have reminded Zhuiyue secretly. If she had hurt Ye Juishang’s consort in front of him, her life would have been over.

This was not the outcome he wanted to see.

“Zhuiyue, in the future, you will stay by the consort’s side and be her personal maid and guard,” Ye Jiushang ordered.

Zhuiyue immediately rejected her assignment. “Your Highness, I’m a Night Shadow Guard. There’s nothing wrong with being the consort’s guard, but I’m afraid I can’t be her personal maid. I don’t know how to serve others, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to satisfy her, so…”

To put it bluntly, she was unwilling to be Xue Fanxin’s personal maid, or even her guard.

She would be more than willing to be Ye Jiushang’s maidservant but to Xue Fanxin… Dream on.

Zhuiyue’s rejection made Zhuri anxious and dissatisfied. He wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Ye Jiushang’s scheming gaze. Sewing his mouth shut, he stood there obediently.

On the other hand, Xue Fanxin said indifferently, “Since Miss Zhuiyue is unwilling, then forget it. Ah Jiu, give me another one. If there’s really no one suitable, then forget it.”

When Zhuiyue heard Xue Fanxin’s words, she thought,?At least you’re sensible.

Xue Fanxin thought,?Who cares about you?

Ye Jiushang had no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell if he was angry or not. He was very calm. Even when Zhuiyue disobeyed his order, he did not have much of a reaction. “Zhuri, find a suitable person.”

“Yes.” Zhuri accepted the order and left. He returned in less than fifteen minutes and brought a girl about 17 years old. She was also wearing a black robe, but her temperament was not as cold as Zhuiyue’s, only a little more mature than ordinary people.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

When the woman knelt and bowed, Zhuri began to introduce her. “Your Highness, she is ranked 40th among the Night Shadow Guards. Logically speaking, she is not qualified to travel alone, but she is the most suitable one among all of us. If the Imperial Consort is dissatisfied, I will find someone else.”

Zhuiyue hadn’t left yet. When she saw this scene, she sneered in disdain.

On the other hand, Zhuri glanced at Zhuiyue with a look of disappointment in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
