991 Possessive Aggression
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Qiao had already explained the situation to Baili Ji. Baili Ji knew that things were difficult, so he did not rush her.
Of course, it was useless to rush her.
This master was not the kind of person who would slack off. Seeing that she could not even sleep well, Baili Ji also wanted to cherish her talent. He even wanted her
not to worry too much. His attitude was great.
However, Xie Qiao had something on her mind that she could not be at ease.
After thinking about it, she asked Zhao Xuanjing to help her check if there were any suspicious people appearing in the southwest region, especially some
charlatans. It was best to first understand them, whether they were Taoist masters or monks.
If there were some special dharma instruments or grave sites, it was possible to imprison the souls of the dead.
However, Xie Qiao could not help but think of the box that someone had given her previously.
She had not opened it yet, but she already knew that it would not be anything good inside. It was just that she did not know when she had made this enemy, and the
other party was hiding in the dark, so she was afraid that it would be impossible to guard against that person.
Zhao Xuanjing had a team of guards by his side, so it was not difficult for him to send some people.
Xie Qiao often wandered around the streets and alleys in the southwest, but the capital city was too big, and she would not be able to finish visiting it in a day or
two.
At this moment, in the Xie Residence, Xie Pinggang was looking at Yu Xian with a serious expression, as if he was about to fly into a rage. If it were anyone else, they
would have long turned pale with fright. However, Yu Xian had a great imposing manner. She was fearless.
“Tell me if you think that ten taels of silver a month is too little. I’ll get the old master to add ten taels to it and deduct it from his monthly allowance!” Xie Pinggang
frowned. “In any case, you can’t leave!”
Yu Xian had asked to leave because she wanted to negotiate with Xie Pinggang.
She knew that if she had asked to protect the Taoist master from time to time, the eldest brother of the Xie family would have rejected her outright.
He was good at everything except for one thing, which was possessive aggression.
Whatever he liked was a chicken drumstick, and no one could take it away from him!
Meanwhile, her ability was the chicken drumstick that Xie Pinggang valued.
He wished that she could spend 12 hours every day circling around that brat Xie Pinghuai, and he absolutely did not want her to waste a quarter of an hour outside!
“I don’t care about money. It’s already good enough that I have food and drink. I just feel that Master has given me a favor, so how can I repay this favor? If you
really aren’t willing to let me go, then that’s fine. But every month, on the odd days, I have to accompany Master and protect her,” Yu Xian added.
Xie Pinggang chuckled coldly.
“So that’s your plan from the beginning. Do you think I’m a fool?” Xie Pinggang rolled his eyes at her. “What kind of master are you talking about?” Tell me. At most,
I’ll hire someone at a high price! Your cousin has many retired guards around him. Those who have noble statuses cannot be used, but there are also some who
come from humble backgrounds. They will definitely be happy to do that.”
“It’s a coincidence. I’ve heard you mention her. It’s Master Mo!” Yu Xian quickly said, “She’s really an expert!”
“So it’s Master Mo?” Xie Pinggang was stunned, then he laughed out loud. “Then there’s no need to go! Master is so powerful. If there’s danger, why would she need
you? Martial artists like us are not as smart as her. If we follow her, we will only be a hindrance. However, if Master asks for my help in the future, I would invite you
over. How about that?!”
Xie Pinggang felt even more at ease.
Master Mo was an enigmatic and unpredictable person. She did not like people following her at all, right?
Yu Xian was a little discouraged and a little listless.
When Xie Pinggang saw her like this, he felt rather apologetic. “It’s not that I don’t want you to be out. That cousin of yours is really annoying. He insisted that I
keep an eye on you and forbid you from going out as a man. Otherwise, I can even recommend you to work at the criminal division!”
