Chapter 140: Chapter 139 He’s Not Bad [Third Update!]

Watching the back-and-forth between Murong Bei and Qin Tian, Murong Fei and Su Xuejiao were both speechless.

Especially when Qin Tian readily agreed, Su Xuejiao couldn’t help but stick out her tongue in irritation, ”Big liar, clearly it’s all about the money! Humph!”

Having said that, she whispered to Murong Fei, ”Sister, look at this stinky Qin Tian, as soon as he heard about the monthly salary of 200,000, he practically drooled...”

Murong Fei pursed her lips. In her memory, Qin Tian indeed had a special fondness for money, so she wasn’t surprised.

”Okay, since you’ve agreed, then for this half year, Qin Tian, you’ll just have to bear with it.”

Seeing that Qin Tian had agreed so readily, Murong Bei was also very pleased and quickly stood up to shake hands with Qin Tian.

Su Xuejiao speechless, ”He’s getting paid 200,000 a month to protect me, and it’s a hardship for him?”

Qin Tian nodded to Murong Bei, ”Old Master, rest assured, anything I’ve agreed to, I’ll definitely accomplish. During these six months, I guarantee that nothing will happen to this little friend.”

”You...” Su Xuejiao frowned upon hearing the words ”little friend.”

”I believe in you. Otherwise, heh, the salary I’m offering wouldn’t have the charm to get you to personally protect anyone,” Murong Bei said.

While in Europe, Murong Bei had already been investigating Qin Tian’s background. Of course, it was a well-intentioned investigation, aimed at finding his brother from the past, Cao Taiji.

Thus, Murong Bei had a fair understanding of the ”Dragon King” Qin Tian of Dragon Soul.

Before Dragon Soul was disbanded, the Dragon King Qin Tian was paid 5 million for a single one-month escort mission.

Now, offering him 200,000 a month was really like getting him for ”free.”

Of course, neither Su Xuejiao nor Murong Fei knew Qin Tian’s true identity, so they found the monthly salary of 200,000 unusually high.

At noon, Murong Bei deliberately took Qin Tian, Murong Fei, and Su Xuejiao to a five-star hotel to dine on hairy crabs.

Murong Bei and Murong Fei sat next to each other, and in the middle of the meal, Murong Bei quietly asked Murong Fei, ”Fei’er, when Grandfather left, he deliberately made you live with Qin Tian to get to know him better. How are things developing between you two now?”

Upon hearing this, Murong Fei subconsciously looked up at Qin Tian and hesitated.

”Heh, it seems your relationship isn’t progressing that smoothly. Tell me, Fei’er, what do you think of Qin Tian as a person? What’s your impression of him?”

Impression of Qin Tian?

Initially, when she first met him, Murong Fei, just like Su Xuejiao now, not only had no fondness for Qin Tian but also felt a bit of aversion toward him.

But now, after interacting with him for more than two months, Murong Fei’s feelings for Qin Tian had changed considerably.

To say that Qin Tian was lecherous and money-minded might seem accurate to some degree. However, Murong Fei could see that Qin Tian was a responsible man, not the lecherous type he appeared to be on the surface. Greedy for money? It seemed to be just an outward appearance; she had never seen Qin Tian be stingy or behave dishonorably.

On the contrary, Qin Tian was low-key, responsible, adept in both cooking and martial arts – all of which greatly surprised Murong Fei.

Recalling the days she had spent alone with Qin Tian, Murong Fei pursed her lips, didn’t look up, and just murmured softly, ”He... he’s not too bad.”

After voicing this opinion, Murong Fei felt a bit surprised herself. Had she just complimented Qin Tian?

This seems to be the first time.

Murong Bei, with his wealth of experience, likely noticed something too and lightly smiled, saying, ”Well, the engagement has been set, as for how you two develop, no rush, no rush, you’re both still young. Just get to know each other better, fall in love and all that.”

”Grandfather...”

Upon hearing Murong Bei’s words, Murong Fei couldn’t hide her embarrassment, and she glanced at Qin Tian, who was sitting across from her. At that moment, Qin Tian was wholeheartedly enjoying his hairy crab, eating it with great relish, as if nothing else in the world mattered.

”Hey, did you just get released from a prison cell or what? Have you not eaten in several lifetimes? You’re eating like a savage!”

Murong Fei hadn’t said anything, but Su Xuejiao couldn’t hold back any longer after seeing Qin Tian’s ferocious manner of eating.

Looking at Su Xuejiao, who was gesticulating beside him, Qin Tian shrugged his nose at her: ”Kid, no matter how much I eat, it’s not your food. Look, the person paying hasn’t said a word, what’s got you so worked up?” Qin Tian gave Murong Bei a faint smile.

”As if my grandfather’s money isn’t money...”

Just as Su Xuejiao was about to argue with Qin Tian, Murong Bei interrupted, ”Xuejiao, speak less. From now on, Qin Tian will be your protective big brother, and you will listen to him, got it? The hairy crabs aren’t that expensive, eat as much as you like.”

”Grandfather, why do you always side with that stinky Qin Tian? You’re so biased...” Su Xuejiao cooed playfully.

The whole table burst into laughter.

Su Xuejiao was a student at Zhonghai City International Foreign Language School, a typical noble school, where the students came from either rich or noble families.

Murong Bei was decisive and efficient in his actions and by the next day, he had arranged all the necessary paperwork for Qin Tian’s student ID and admission. He had an extraordinary relationship with the school’s principal, so getting a student enrolled was a breeze for him.

Once everything was arranged, as Murong Bei prepared to leave Green Bamboo Forest, he said to Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, for the coming period, Xuejiao’s safety is in your hands. I’m counting on you.”

Qin Tian nodded, ”Don’t worry, old man. I’ll make sure nothing goes wrong.”

After that, Qin Tian approached Murong Bei and said in a low, embarrassed voice, ”Old man, cough, well, now that I’m going back to school, make sure to give their homeroom teacher a heads-up, hehe, it’s been many years since I’ve been in school, so my academic level might be a bit...”

Murong Bei understood, ”Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken with their homeroom teacher. Just focus on your studies and as long as you don’t disturb the classroom order, they won’t bother you. As for homework and the like, just do whatever.”

”That’s great, that’s great.” Qin Tian rubbed his head, still not fully grasping the situation. Damn, he was in his twenties and now going back to high school?

If it weren’t for Murong Bei’s sake, he wouldn’t have agreed to take on this bodyguard mission.

After seeing off Murong Bei, Qin Tian immediately went back to his bedroom to call Wild Boar and Lu Qing.

Wild Boar was still methodically searching for Fire Wolf Zhou Yang’s whereabouts, but it was still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As for Qin Real Estate, development in Fruit Forest had already started, all the preparatory work was done, and Lu Qing was already handling the pre-sale arrangements.

Qin Tian briefly explained his current situation to Wild Boar and Lu Qing and told them to keep in touch by phone, as he might need to accompany a certain wealthy family’s young miss back to school for half a year. After he finished speaking, Wild Boar was stunned, and Lu Qing covered her mouth to laugh.

”Boss, you, the mighty Dragon King of Dragon Soul, are going back to high school to protect a young girl?”

Wild Boar’s tone was one of utter bewilderment.
