Chapter 960: There’s a Flower Thief

“Shangguan Qingrou is my woman. Don’t even think of trying anything with her, she can only be mine. Even if I must ruin her, I won’t allow anyone else to have her,” said Xuan Hongyu coldly.

Xuan Xiaotian fanned himself as he said, “And do you have that ability? You were the one that made the bruise on Shangguan Qingrou’s neck, weren’t you? After you hurt her like that, how could she possibly like you?”

A dark expression flashed across Xuan Hongyu’s face. He gave a cold humph, then turned and got on the palanquin. When he saw Ning Shu who was nearby, he narrowed his eyes.

Fudge, it was another meaningful gaze. She really wanted to pretend that she didn’t see it. Her interactions with Xuan Hongyu pretty much mainly relied on glances.

Who the frick knew what he was trying to say?

Xuan Xiaotian saw that Xuan Hongyu had left, so he also got on his palanquin. However, he also glanced at Ning Shu. A trace of dark shrewd light flashed through his peach flower eyes.

Ning Shu: ...

What was he looking at her, a hidden guard, for?

That night, Ning Shu was hiding in the dense tree branches and training when she heard soft footsteps. She quickly stopped training.

When she parted the tree leaves, she saw that Xuan Xiaotian was standing outside Shangguan Qingrou’s room, dressed in brocade clothing.

Xuan Xiaotian tidied up his clothing, then pushed open the window and jumped in.

Ning Shu: ...

She really wanted to just sink energy into her dantian and shout, there’s a flower thief!

She perked up her ears to listen to what was going on inside the room. There was the quiet sound of voices. Following that, there was the sound of Shangguan Qingrou’s voice. “Eleven, Eleven.”

Shangguan Qingrou’s voice wasn’t very loud. It was just enough for Ning Shu who was outside to hear.

After a moment of hesitation, Ning Shu lightly jumped off the tree and entered the room from the window, but she found that Shangguan Qingrou was perfectly fine and sitting on the bed. Meanwhile, Xuan Xiaotian was leisurely sitting on a chair, toying with a porcelain cup.

Xuan Xiaotian called out, “Enter.”

Four hidden guard came in and surrounded Ning Shu. The woman’s chamber that was originally quite large now seemed really crowded.

They had been lying in wait for her.

Ning Shu tightly grasped the shaft of her sword as she asked Shangguan Qingrou who was sitting on the bed, “Miss Shangguan, what do you mean by this?”

Shangguan Qingrou’s face was very beautiful under the illumination of the lamp. Beauties were always more beautiful underneath the light. Her skin looked flawlessly smooth and also contained the charming sleepiness of someone who had just woken up.

Ning Shu naturally didn’t care about Shangguan Qingrou’s beauty. She was currently thinking about how to break free from this encirclement. This time, all the hidden guards had masks on that were made of very thick cloth. It was clear that they were guarding against her using poison again.

“You’re Xuan Hongyu’s hidden guard. Lately, you’ve been telling him about me. If not, why would Xuan Hongyu know every single time I head out? You should leave. I can’t afford to keep a hidden guard like you,” said Shangguan Qingrou angrily.

“You’re loyal to Xuan Hongyu, so I don’t need your protection.” Shangguan Qingrou was seriously done with Xuan Hongyu following her wherever she went.

She really disliked how Xuan Hongyu kept bothering her. Ever since Xuan Hongyu had hurt her and choked her, she had already completely rejected him.

He looked extremely noble and distinguished, but he was the type to actually hurt women. There was no way she could accept this kind of trashy man.
