With a faint smile, Leng Xuan found Uncle Liu's words sowhat uncomfortable, yet when he rembered Old Master Ling's exceptional kingly deanor, he instantly felt that the man should indeed not be offended lightly, or the consequences would be dire.
For so reason, he always regarded Elder Ling as an extrely dangerous individual, and his instincts were always very sharp; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the nurous perilous missions up to now.
In fact, had he ever considered what kind of person he was in the Old Master's heart?
They were similar in kind, both very dangerous individuals. He could sense the danger emanating from the Old Master, so how could the Old Master not sense the danger from him?
Fortunately, they were not enemies at present...
Although Ling Xuejiu's beauty had stunned him, he had never entertained the idea of a toad lusting after a swan's at, so he didn't take Uncle Liu's words too seriously!
Moreover, in Ling Xuejiu's heart, she wasn't truly worried that Leng Xuan would do anything to her. She was a judo expert; ordinary people couldn't even get close. Although Leng Xuan had beaten Thai boxing expert Wang Shuze back seven or eight steps with a punch at the school gates, she considered it a sneak attack. She believed if it were a head-on confrontation, this country bumpkin might not even be able to beat her, let alone Wang Shuze.
She simply despised Leng Xuan from the bottom of her heart, considering him a country bumpkin utterly out of her league, not even qualified to carry her shoes, let alone be her bodyguard.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Uncle Liu, helpless, had to say, "Miss, this is all the Old Master's doing, and he does it for your own good. So, please..."
Ling Xuejiu pouted slightly, responding without good humor, "Uncle Liu, I've been fine all these years without a bodyguard, haven't I? Why does Grandpa insist on getting a bodyguard now?"
Uncle Liu sighed and said, "The Old Master does this out of his concerns. Miss, you don't know how worried about your safety he is; he hasn't been able to sleep properly of late. Finding soone like Mr. Leng, who is a suitable candidate to protect you, you can't imagine how happy he is. So, Miss, you shouldn't be too selfish!"
"What, am I selfish?" Ling Xuejiu looked at Uncle Liu with displeasure.
"Ahem, Miss, I misspoke. But I hope you understand the Elder's intention," he said.
Ling Xuejiu bowed her head in silence for a mont, then suddenly looked up and said, "Uncle Liu, why is Grandpa so worried about my safety? Did sothing happen?"
Uncle Liu's expression changed, and he replied, "This... ahem, that's not sothing I would know. Alright, Miss, let's go in and talk more!"
Ling Xuejiu seed to have gleaned sothing from Uncle Liu's expression and thought to herself, 'Although this rural guy looks unlikable, he doesn't seem bad. Since Grandpa is so worried about , I will keep him for now. Otherwise, if Grandpa's heart condition flares up again, I would be the chief culprit. Yes, that's it. I'll find an opportunity later to kick him out.' With this thought, she then said, "Uncle Liu, I can let him stay here, but I must warn him that the second floor is my domain, and he must not set foot there. Also, here, he must listen to ; if I say one, he can't say two. He can't touch anything here without my consent. If he can't do these things, then it would be better for him to leave early."
