Chapter 958: Please See my Longing Gaze
“Tie her up.” Xuan Xiaotian couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath, so he moved to the side to have his hidden guards capture Ning Shu.
The four guards rushed up all at once. Ning Shu quickly revolved her energy as she started fighting with these people. Her level was pretty much the same as these hidden guards, but four versus one was a little too much for her to handle.
She reached towards the pouch at her waist and threw white powder at the four. For the sake of dodging the white powder, the four people moved away and gave Ning Shu a bit of breathing room. Ning Shu immediately took this chance to flee.
She kept moving around the city, worried that someone was following her. After taking detours for near two hours, she returned to the third prince’s residence.
When Xuan Hongyu saw Ning Shu, his brows furrowed. “Why are you back? This prince told you to follow Shangguan Qingrou.”
Ning Shu hastily told Xuan Hongyu about everything that happened. The moment Xuan Hongyu heard what happened between Xuan Xiaotian and Shangguan Qingrou, his brows furrowed even more.
Especially when he heard Xuan Xiaotian had threatened to take off Shangguan Qingrou’s clothes to apply medicine. He directly crushed the jade pendant he had been toying with. His expression was eerily cold.
Ning Shu didn’t care about what Xuan Hongyu was currently feeling at all. She was more concerned about what she should do next, so she asked Xuan Hongyu, “Master, then should this subordinate still head back to protect Miss Shangguan?”
She didn’t want to go back. She really didn’t want to go back! Please see my longing gaze. Ning Shu stared at Xuan Hongyu.
Xuan Hongyu couldn’t even be bothered to glance at Ning Shu. He picked up a brush and quickly wrote something. His hand was trembling as he held the brush.
“Of course you have to go protect Shangguan Qingrou,” said Xuan Hongyu without even lifting his head.
Ning Shu: ...
Why did she still have to go protect Shangguan Qingrou? What was the use of protecting her? Shangguan Qingrou wouldn’t even say any words of thanks. However, Ning Shu still accepted the command, then asked, “Then the fifth prince?”
“This prince will deal with him. You should just continue to follow Shangguan Qingrou. Make sure to pay particular attention to the matters between her and the fifth prince. This prince wishes to know everything,” said Xuan Hongyu coldly.
Ning Shu replied, “Understood.” Then she headed back to continue protecting Shangguan Qingrou. She knew that Shangguan Qingrou didn’t like her, so she never appeared in front of Shangguan Qingrou. In all honestly, she found it pretty annoying to see Shangguan Qingrou as well.
She even had to record all sorts of things about Shangguan Qingrou. Just watching these incidents were annoying, but Xuan Hongyu insisted on having them and he even insisted on details without discrimination.
As of now, Ning Shu just wanted Xuan Hongyu to hurry and be defeated so that she could just save him and run. That way these painful days would finally be over.
Ning Shu lay on the tree as she wrote in the book. After she finished writing, she continued practicing Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Her strength seriously wasn’t good enough. She couldn’t even defeat Xuan Xiaotian’s four hidden guards, so if it really came time to save someone, the word written on the wall in bold was ‘death.’
Ning Shu didn’t want to participate in these people’s love relationships. The only thing she did aside from practicing martial arts each day was record what people Shangguan Qingrou met with each day.
She had already gotten used to doing these things every day. After the task ended, she should probably go see a psychologist to see if her mental state was still normal.
Due to the last incident with applying the medicine, the fifth prince’s relationship with Shangguan Qingrou had changed slightly. Even though they still bickered all the time, there was always a slightly sweet tartness in the atmosphere.
The two were probably in a slightly suggestive state, just one step away from official.
Alright, it seemed that her master truly had no hope.
Ever since Xuan Hongyu had choked Shangguan Qingrou, Shangguan Qingrou hadn’t gone to find Xuan Hongyu again.
Who would approach someone to ask for death after all? Although Shangguan Qingrou didn’t visit Xuan Hongyu anymore, everything she did was under Xuan Hongyu’s watch. Xuan Hongyu knew her like the back of his hand.
Xuan Xiaotian would often come visit Shangguan Qingrou and bring her outside of the city to go horse-riding or participate in a Lantern Festival. In short, he’d specially get fun things to play with to show her.
He knew that Shangguan Qingrou liked novel and strange things, so he adapted to her taste.
