Seeing that Qing Zi was not only not leaving now—but also bringing her friends over, Madam Shentian frowned. However, important figures were still coming today, and so she didn’t say anything.
“Qing Zi, have fun with your friends. If there’s anything, just let the servant tell me.” With that, she hurriedly led the people around her to the front hall.
Behind him, Qing Zi took a deep breath and turned to look at Su Huiqing and the rest. “My uncle is here. Madam Shentian will definitely not dare to do anything to you. However, I really didn’t expect you guys to come.”
Qing Zi sighed helplessly. Although she was very happy to see Su Huiqing and Qu Yan, she was also slightly worried.
Su Huiqing retracted her gaze mildly. She could feel that this Madam Shentian was also very polite to Qing Zi, but she was just too polite.
Logically speaking, Qing Zi should also be a part of this family. She was so polite as if she wanted to exclude Qing Zi.
Not far away, Shentian Jing was leading a group of people towards the door to receive Dugu Xiyuan.
In the past, he would never be so respectful towards Dugu Xiyuan.
However, now that the emperor of the north was in the hands of Dugu Heng’s daughter, even if Shentian Jing had ten thousand guts; he wouldn’t dare to have any thoughts about such people.
“Although our Shentian Family is at the edge of the wilderness in the north and the location is not bad, we have never had good resources. The most talented person in the family is only a sixth-level expert. This time, we have to try our best to rope in Miss Su. Whether we can reach the stage overseas will depend on this!” Shentian Jing clenched his fists tightly and looked ahead.
“That’s Qing Zi? What is she doing?” Seeing Madam Shentian walking over—without exception, he saw Qing Zi and the rest behind Madam Shentian and couldn’t help but frown.
The middle-aged man beside him shook his head slightly. “Let her go first. After the banquet, if that Qing Zi still doesn’t leave, she won’t blame us. I think her uncle might not dare to do anything to us.”
Upon hearing this, Shentian Jing and his wife didn’t object.
This was indeed not bad. Although Qing Zi’s uncle was talented, he was not in a hurry to get Qing Yuanguang. If it harmed Qing Yuanguang’s interests, he would not mind crushing Qing Zi’s uncle.
They didn’t care about these two Country R people.
“Come with me to welcome Miss Su.”
Su Huiqing and the rest followed Qing Zi to her room. In terms of food, accommodation, and transportation; the Shentian Family naturally wouldn’t be harsh on Qing Zi.
In fact, before the matter regarding Qing Yuanguang, Qing Zi was rather popular in the Shentian Family. After all, she was also a little genius.
However, after this incident, not only was Qing Yuanguang locked up; but even Qing Zi and her uncle were restricted.
“This is too much.” It was the first time Long Xue knew about this matter. She couldn’t help but hit the table. “You are only 21 years old and third-level. How talented can you be? Can you find a large group of people in school? Also, you are not that bad. This Shentian Family obviously sees that you are not from here overseas. You don’t have any family or friends around you. They are deliberately bullying you!”
Qing Zi shook her head as if she had already gotten over it and didn’t feel too angry or aggrieved. “This is reality, after all. Forget it, you guys are already here. Why are you still worried about me? I’ll bring you to meet my uncle first. There’s still a banquet later. It should be very nice. If you guys don’t want to go, I’ll bring you guys around…”
Su Huiqing was sitting at the table with a cup of tea in her hand. Suddenly, she tilted her head slightly and narrowed her eyes dangerously. She threw the teacup out the door.
Qing Zi was interrupted by her actions.
The guard standing outside was even more shocked. He had just raised his hand when the web between his thumb and index finger was smashed. His hand immediately went numb.
He looked up in shock and was not surprised to see a pair of pitch-black eyes. In an instant, the murderous aura in those eyes dissipated and turned into an extremely lazy look.
“Liu Zi? Why are you here?” Qing Zi’s eyes froze when she saw that guard.
Liu Zi waved his hand and said to Qing Zi, “Miss Qing Zi, I didn’t eavesdrop on purpose. I said I had something to discuss with you.”
With that, she turned to look at Su Huiqing. The other party had rolled up his sleeves and seemed to have sensed his gaze. She also turned her head and said in a very indifferent tone, “If you wanted to, you don’t have to stand and talk to us now.”
For some reason, Liu Zi suddenly felt that this girl in front of him was not lying.
He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, thinking about when Miss Qing Zi had such a mysterious person beside her. He was the captain of a second-level guard team, but this mysterious girl could actually injure him so easily…
“Miss Qing Zi.” However, Liu Zi still recalled the serious matter. “I’m sending a message from Young Master. He’s currently being monitored by Madam and Old Master and can’t come out. However, he wants me to tell you that we will meet at the south pier at three in the afternoon. Before that, he wants me to protect Miss Qing Zi.”
Qing Zi was stunned. Before she could say anything, Su Huiqing slowly stood up and smiled playfully. “The pier. What does he want?”
