Chapter 964: Because Miss Shangguan’s Injury Requires Treatment

Ning Shu felt the back of her scalp prickle when she saw Xuan Hongyu like this. She placed Shangguan Qingrou on a chair. Xuan Hongyu lifted his head to glance over at Ning Shu and his gaze was immediately draw to the unconscious person on the chair. He was taken aback for a moment, then he tossed down the brush and walked over.
When he saw the injury on Shangguan Qingrou’s neck, his gaze became very cold as he looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu hastily said, “Master, this subordinate can explain...” Ning Shu repeated what happened. How Xuan Xiaotian had snuck into Shangguan Qingrou’s room in the middle of the night, seeming to harbor bad intentions, and how she had wanted to save Shangguan Qingrou, only to discover that the two were colluding to capture her so as to torture information about her master out of her.
After that, she brought Shangguan Qingrou back. She kept the explanation about the wound on Shangguan Qingrou’s neck vague.
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu coldly, then extended his jade-like fair hand. “Don’t try to play smart in front of this prince.”
Xuan Hongyu swung his palm towards Ning Shu, clearly to punish her for acting on her own initiative, but Ning Shu quickly bent over—dodging Xuan Hongyu’s palm—to undo Shangguan Qingrou’s collar. She acted as if this entire dodge had been inadvertent and just said, “Master, Miss Shangguan’s injury requires treatment.”
Xuan Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at Ning Shu, then he leaned over and picked up Shangguan Qingrou to head towards the side room.
Ning Shu sighed silently. She had no desire to be hit by Xuan Hongyu. Fudge, at that time, she could’ve been killed, but not only did Xuan Hongyu not console her, he even blamed her for hurting Shangguan Qingrou.
Fine, Shangguan Qingrou was way more important than she was.
Hidden guards sure had it hard. She really didn’t understand what the original host had been thinking when she offered up her soul to save her master.
With a master like this, the sooner you got free from him, the better, but Eleven actually wanted to save him.
Ning Shu couldn’t understand Eleven’s loyalty towards Xuan Hongyu at all. It was also a sort of fortune for Xuan Hongyu to have this sort of death soldier who stood loyally by his side.
However, Xuan Hongyu’s attitude towards her was that she was just a tool. He didn’t even treat her as a person, so his attitude towards the original host had probably been the same.
Ning Shu glanced at the countless paintings on the ground. This was how Shangguan Qingrou appeared to Xuan Hongyu in his heart. Rather than say that Xuan Hongyu deeply loved Shangguan Qingrou, it would be more accurate to say that he was obsessed with her.
She left the study and closed the door. After that intense running earlier, her entire body was in pain. Some muscles had even been torn due to overuse.
Wondered how Xuan Xiaotian was doing now? Ning Shu stood on the wall of the residence to wait for the hidden guards to return.
When the hidden guards returned, Ning Shu smelled the scent of blood on them, so she hastily asked, “How was it?”
“They withdrew first. They were quite strong. Should we report to Master first?” said one of the hidden guards. His face was covered, so in the night, his features couldn’t really be made out.
Ning Shu shook her head. “Let’s wait until tomorrow.” How could the current Xuan Hongyu have the mood to listen to these things?
Xuan Hongyu wouldn’t have her protect Shangguan Qingrou again after this, right? Things had already gotten to this point, if Xuan Hongyu told her to go protect Shangguan Qingrou again, it was no different from telling her to go die.
Ning Shu stopped paying attention to this matter and scaled a tree trunk to get on a tree branch in preparation to start training. She had already become a monkey. She climbed pretty much every tree she saw and she hadn’t slept in a bed once since coming to this world.
The occupation of being a death soldier was dangerous and had little benefits. How did such an inhuman occupation come into existence?
And her strength was seriously too trashy. All she could do was run every time. She really wanted to do an awe-inspiring PVE massacre and gain the reputation of being undefeatable.
There was no one here that she could rely on. There was no point mentioning Xuan Hongyu, this yandere master of hers. She might even end up dying at his hands instead of during a mission, which was why she seriously needed strength!
After taking a deep breath, she emptied her thoughts to start training.
“Xuan Hongyu, you pervert! Let go of me...”
Ning Shu’s training was interrupted by a shrill shriek.
