Chapter 820: Could She Not Tell Her?
Junior sister?
Wang Zichen was so shocked that his mouth was half-open. Jian Ai went to a martial arts school to practice martial arts?
No wonder she could deal with this group of people in just two or three moves last time.
Seeing Wang Zichen’s reaction, Qi Wei knew he didn’t know that her junior sister was learning martial arts. As her junior sister had said, Wang Zichen didn’t have a good relationship with her.
“Did… did Jian Ai ask you to help me?” Wang Zichen thought for a moment and finally asked.
Qi Wei pursed her lips and shook her head. “No, but she asked us about you. She seemed to want to know why you were bullied in school.”
“I’m helping you because you’re her cousin. It’s not good to pretend that I did not see you.”
Wang Zichen pursed his lips and lowered his head again.
After a while, he muttered, “Can you not tell her?”
Qi Wei was slightly stunned when she heard that. Then, she chuckled and raised her eyebrows at Wang Zichen. “Why? Are you afraid of losing face?”
He should not be afraid that Jian Ai would worry because Qi Wei could tell that Jian Ai was not worried about him.
Wang Zichen nodded obediently. He was usually arrogant in front of Jian Ai, but now he felt guilty.
He was a boy, after all. He was bullied and beaten up in school every day. It would be ugly if word got out.
Seeing this, Qi Wei sighed slightly. “Alright, but you still have to learn to resist in the future. The more cowardly you are, the more willing they are to bully you. Remember to look for me if anything happens. I’ll get going first.”
With that, Qi Wei looked at Wang Zichen one last time and turned around to leave.
Wang Zichen slowly raised his head. His gaze was a little heavy, and his emotions were complicated.
At night, Jian Ai packed her things in her room. She will fly to the capital to take part in the competition tomorrow morning.
Si Yuehan stood at the door of the room. He leaned his long body against the door frame and watched Jian Ai work expressionlessly.
After a while, Si Yuehan said faintly, “Why don’t I go with you?”
His mission was to stay by the Sect Master’s side and protect her safety. Now that she was going to the capital alone, Si Yuehan was more or less worried.
Jian Ai knew what he was thinking. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but stop what she was doing and look up at him with a smile. “You don’t have to be so nervous. With my current ability, ordinary people can’t hurt me.”
“I’m afraid that something like that will happen again,” Si Yuehan said softly. He was referring to Jian Ai’s injury.
Jian Ai’s expression froze. She remembered that she still had many doubts about what had happened last time, especially towards Ji Haoyu.
However, she didn’t ask. This kind of thing was a secret to anyone. Jian Ai didn’t think it was good to probe into others’ secrets.
“Don’t worry. I was innocently involved last time. Those people’s target wasn’t me.” Jian Ai continued to pack her things and said, “Besides, it’s been a while since the incident. Nothing dangerous happened again, right?”
Ji Haoyu and a little girl intimidated the other party last time, so they should be honest for a while. Even if they took action again, they shouldn’t be targeting her. After all, she was an outsider. The entire matter had nothing to do with her.
It was true that she had stopped the other party from taking Haoxue away. However, in the end, the other party was targeting Ji Haoyu, not her.
Jian Ai didn’t agree to Si Yuehan following her, so Si Yuehan naturally didn’t dare to disobey her orders. Although he was worried, he still nodded and agreed. “Then be careful. If anything happens, remember to contact Brother Bai Zhou.”
