Sheng Xu still followed Shi Qian. After some thought, he said, “How about… I’ll protect you. I’ll send you to and from school to prevent anyone from kidnapping you.”
“You…” Shi Qian looked at him. “Protect me? Are you sure?”
“Of course, I’m sure. With you by my side, who would dare to touch you? Jiang Chen would consider whether it’s worth offending the Jiang family.”
“You have a point.” Shi Qian nodded.
Sheng Xu chuckled. “That’s a must. So, let me pick you up in the future.”
“But I don’t need it.”
Sheng Xu was speechless.
Sheng Xu frowned slightly and looked at Shi Qian seriously. “Shi Qian, I’m not trying to scare you. The struggle between wealthy families is crueler than you can imagine.
“Don’t think everything will be fine just because you’re good at martial arts. It’s easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark! I’m doing this for your good. And…”
After a pause, Sheng Xu lowered his voice and said, “I just received news that people from Beiluo Sect have appeared in the Imperial Capital. Although I’m unsure if it’s related to the Jiang family, the Imperial Capital hasn’t been peaceful recently.”
“The people from Beiluo Sect…”
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 didn’t know about Beiluo Sect, so he explained. “Beiluo 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.
“If they interfered in the Jiang family’s affairs, whoever helped wouldn’t win. And the losing side would only have one outcome, death without a burial place.
“However, you don’t 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.”
Shi Qian smiled.
She didn’t 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 Jing’s visit to the Imperial Capital, she was confident that it had nothing to do with the Jiang family.
“Sheng Xu, since you know so much, do you know what the rumored she-devil of Beiluo Sect looks like?” Shi Qian asked.
Sheng Xu shook his head. “I don’t 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.”
“Oh, I thought you already knew where she was.” It seemed that Murong Jing had not been completely exposed.
“That won’t happen. We wouldn’t deliberately follow her even if we knew she was in Hillford. It wouldn’t be good if she discovered us and caused her a misunderstanding.”
“That’s true.” Shi Qian nodded. She momentarily looked at the teaching building before her and said, “I’m here. Aren’t you leaving yet?”
Sheng Xu was momentarily stunned. Three black lines appeared on his forehead…
“I’ve told you so much. Did you listen to me?!” He said through gritted teeth.
“I’m listening. Sheng Xu, thank you for your kindness. However, you don’t have to do this. I’ll be fine. Jiang Chen can’t do anything to me.”
Sheng Xu looked at her. He didn’t know what to say.
Shi Qian smiled and said softly, “Let’s go. Let’s play games tonight.”
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?
