Chapter 961: Was the Person, Not the Sword

Shangguan Qingrou had seen a lot of beautiful men since she had come to the ancient era. At first she had been charmed by Xuan Hongyu’s beautiful looks, but the longer she stayed here, the more beautiful men she encountered and her admiration towards Xuan Hongyu also gradually disappeared.

Meanwhile, Xuan Hongyu’s feelings for Shangguan Qingrou had already become very deep. It had become a sort of obsession.

One was anxious to control while the other was anxious to get free. It was seriously a tragedy.

“Eleven, you’re Xuan Hongyu’s hidden guard. Even if you’re currently following me, you’re still loyal to your original master, so there’s no need to follow me anymore. You should go.” Shangguan Qingrou didn’t want to see anything related to Xuan Hongyu.

Ning Shu furrowed her brows as she said, “Master told me to protect you. That’s my duty.”

Ning Shu glanced at the hidden guards that were eying her like prey. She might not be able to make it out of this room peacefully.

Xuan Xiaotian set the cup he was toying with on the table and said mildly, “You’re here to monitor this girl, and while at it, protect her. Third Brother sure put a lot of thought into things.”

This time, Ning Shu finally understood. They were tired of having her follow them like a persistent third wheel. Furthermore, since she kept giving Xuan Hongyu reports, they had lost all chances to have private dates with each other.

“My duty is to protect Miss Shangguan, not to monitor her,” said Ning Shu, unflustered, unabashed.

Shangguan Qingrou looked towards Ning Shu speechlessly. “Then how come every time I head out, Xuan Hongyu always follows? If you didn’t tell Xuan Hongyu, how did he find out?”

Ning Shu was pretty speechless with how Shangguan Qingrou kept saying the name Xuan Hongyu. For better or for worse, Xuan Hongyu was also a prince. It was a little outrageous that she kept calling a prince directly by their given name.

“I did tell Master. Master said to notify him every time Miss Shangguan heads out. Master’s simply worried that Miss Shangguan would encounter danger outside. Master’s simply worried about Miss.” Ning Shu thickened her skin and forcefully twisted the truth. Moreover, Xuan Hongyu had done this out of concern. Although the majority of it was so that he could keep Shangguan Qingrou under his control.

Shangguan Qingrou instantly exploded. “And this is still not monitoring!? How can Xuan Hongyu do this!?”

Shangguan Qingrou’s facial color was very poor and her brows contained loathing. “Leave. I don’t need your protection.”

Xuan Xiaotian stood up and said lightly, “We can’t let her leave like this.”

Ning Shu pressed her lips together as she tightened her grip on her sword. She reached towards the pouch at her waist as she looked towards Xuan Xiaotian.

“We can’t let her go like this. She’s Third Brother’s death soldier.” Xuan Xiaotian’s gaze was filled with killing intent as he looked at Ning Shu.

Shangguan Qingrou asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with being a death soldier?”

“People like this only care about their masters. For the sake of carrying out their masters’ commands, they don’t care about the means. People that don’t fear death can’t be left alive. They must be killed,” said Xuan Xiaotian coldly.

“She’s too familiar with this residence. If she wanted to hurt you, it’d be very easy.” Xuan Xiaotian said to Shangguan Qingrou, “Moreover, who knows how many innocents have died at her hands.”

Ning Shu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

The f*ck? He was talking like he didn’t have any death soldiers. You guys were the ones that trained death soldiers. Even if they did kill any innocents, the blame should be on you guys!

When the hand held a sharp weapon, the one that killed was the person, not the sword.

When Shangguan Qingrou heard what Xuan Xiaotian said, she glanced at Ning Shu uncertainly. “Do you really have to kill her?”

Xuan Xiaotian shook his head as he said, “It’s too dangerous to leave her. Just leave this person for me to deal with.”

After a moment of hesitation, Shangguan Qingrou nodded. “Alright.”

Ning Shu: The f*ck...

They decided on her fate just like this?
