Chapter 957: Correct Way to Start a Romance

When Xuan Xiaotian got to his residence, he got off the palanquin and pulled Shangguan Qingrou into his residence.

Ning Shu didn’t rashly jump over the wall to enter the residence. She sensed the presence of similar people nearby. They were probably Xuan Xiaotian’s hidden guards that were in charge of the residence’s safety.

After thinking about it, Ning Shu walked in straightforwardly and waited by the door. She heard all sorts of exchanges come from inside.

Xuan Xiaotian wanted to apply medicine on Shangguan Qingrou, but Shangguan Qingrou refused for the life of her. Xuan Xiaotian responded by threatening to take off her clothes to apply the medicine.

So Shangguan Qingrou was indignant and felt wronged, but she finally behaved and allowed Xuan Xiaotian to help her apply medicine.

As Ning Shu took in their exchange, she felt like the entire room was filled with pink bubbles.

Ning Shu felt that Xuan Xiaotian liked Shangguan Qingrou and was purposefully using this method to attract her attention.

This was the correct way to start a romance.

As for her master Xuan Hongyu, she could only sigh.

The good thing was, this task was only to save Xuan Hongyu, so she didn’t need to worry about other things and wouldn’t need to clash with these people.

Even if she wanted to help Xuan Hongyu a little with something, she couldn’t. She was a death soldier, so she couldn’t do anything that exceeded the bounds of her status. It’d only make Xuan Hongyu feel that he couldn’t control her.

The task was simple and straightforward. It was just a little troublesome due to having a master like this.

She didn’t know what medicine Xuan Xiaotian applied, but the bruise on Shangguan Qingrou’s neck instantly lightened.

However, no matter how Xuan Xiaotian questioned Shangguan Qingrou, she refused to tell him how she got this bruise.

Hence, Xuan Xiaotian stopped asking and just sent Shangguan Qingrou back to her residence.

Just as Ning Shu was about to flip the wall into the director’s residence, she was stopped by Xuan Xiaotian. Ning Shu looked at the man that was blocking her way as she asked, “Fifth Prince, do you need something?”

Xuan Xiaotian fanned himself with his fan, giving off an oppressing aura, as he asked, “You must be Shangguan Qingrou’s hidden guard. I’d like to know what exactly happened to Shangguan Qingrou?”

“That’s Miss’s affairs. If Miss isn’t willing to tell you, I also cannot tell you,” said Ning Shu as she shook her head.

Xuan Xiaotian flipped his fan shut, then lightly tapped it against his palm as he said, “That’s not up to you.”

Several people instantly appeared and encircled Ning Shu.

Ning Shu felt pretty depressed. Frick, he couldn’t bear to press Shangguan Qingrou, so he decided to pry open her mouth. Fudge, even if Xuan Xiaotian ended up finding out that Xuan Hongyu was the one who did this, it couldn’t come from her mouth.

She was a death soldier that was loyal to Xuan Hongyu, a death soldier that could die for the sake of her master. How could she possibly do something like selling out her master?

“How did she get that strangle bruise on her neck?” demanded Xuan Xiaotian. “Are you going to say it yourself, or are you going to wait to confess after I have you tied up and brought back? If you wait, you might end up losing a few limbs.”

“You’re not someone of the director’s residence. Who’s your master?” Xuan Xiaotian looked at Ning Shu coldly. “What’s your motive in following Shangguan Qingrou?”

Ning Shu didn’t speak and just grasped her sword tightly as she eyed the four that were surrounding her. Four against one. She wasn’t sure of these people’s abilities.

Shangguan Qingrou really was pretty blessed. There were always men protecting her and cherishing her silently.
