A hint of pity couldn’t help but materialize in Lian Jiuhua’s eyes, as he sighed. “Brother Zuiying, I wish you good luck. Even I don’t dare piss off Xu Ziling, and yet you do? Respect!”
Zuiying was left suddenly stunned, as his eyes slightly widened. He glared at Lian Jiuhua and blinked. “Is Young Lady Xu that scary? T-then… does that mean I won’t have a single day of peace from now on?” He asked.
Lian Jiuhua had a thought, then spoke in a calm voice as if he was narrating something. “I remember when I was sixteen, Xu Ziling was only seven years old. General Xu took His Majesty and me to his manor. I spoke a little too loudly and woke up Xu Ziling, who was sleeping at the time. Afterward…”
Lian Jiuhua furrowed his brows as if he was really reluctant to go on.
Zuiying looked at Lian Jiuhua like he was all ears. Seeing that Lian Jiuhua had stopped, his eyes couldn’t resist but blink with curiosity.
Lian Jiuhua glanced at the curious look on Zuiying’s face and sighed. “Then, Xu Ziling sent men to grab me and beat me up. Just thinking about how vicious Xu Ziling looked at the time gives me shivers down my back. Xu Ziling really is more frightening than a tigress.”
Zuiying couldn’t resist but tut and sigh. “Such a mean and unreasonable woman actually exists in the world?”
All of a sudden, Zuiying sensed three shooting sounds of wind behind him. In the shock of things, he immediately laid low upon his horse to dodge the attack.
Xu Ziling repeatedly threw rocks at Zuiying.
Zuiying had no choice but to immediately ride his horse faster and further away as possible to dodge them.
Xu Ziling grunted coldly and said in her head, “Zuiying, you can forget living in peace ever again!”
Just then, her horse reached Han Moze’s side. She turned to look at him and spoke in a shy voice. “Your Majesty big brother, I only brought two shadow guards with me when I left, and that’s simply not enough. Could you lend me Zuiying? That way, I can sleep in peace a little more and won’t have to be worried!”
Han Moze slightly furrowed his brows, then cried, “Zuiying!” without a moment’s hesitation.
Sensing something awful must have happened, Zuiying’s body froze in a split-second. He didn’t dare waste time, so he immediately rode to Han Moze’s side and replied with a cupped fist. “At your service, Your Majesty!”
Xu Ziling glared at Zuiying with the most hostile gaze and a cold smirk.
Han Moze remained emotionless, as he nonchalantly said, “Stay by Young Lady Xu’s side for the next few days. You’re responsible for Young Lady Xu’s safety.”
Zuiying was instantly left dumbstruck. What had he just heard? His Majesty was actually making him protect Young Lady Xu for the next few days?! He was going crazy deep down inside.
After a moment’s shock, Zuiying put his head down helplessly. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
As a shadow guard, did he have the right to disobey an imperial order? Ah… no!
Xu Ziling glanced at Zuiying chillingly, then turned her head. “Zuiying, I have something for you to do! Come here!” She said flatly.
Zuiying sighed helplessly. All he could do was obediently follow her with a bitter look on his face. Deep down inside, he wailed, ‘Why does my puny life as a shadow guard have to be so rough? My family was killed when I was young and the only big brother I have left is heavily sick. He became an official shadow guard after much difficulty and lived a few days of peace, when this ill-tempered young lady decided to keep tabs on me.’
Xu Ziling glanced at Zuiying, who followed behind her, and let out a soft grunt. “It’s too hot. I can’t take it anymore, so I want you to fan me!” She ordered, as she raised her head.
Zuiying smirked with a completely hesitant look on his face. Could he refuse to do it?
Xu Ziling saw that Zuiying looked clearly reluctant and angrily gritted her teeth. “Zuiying, if you don’t fan me, then I’ll get a heat stroke and when that happens, you would have failed to protect me. Then, you’ll definitely have to suffer the consequences!”
