“Protector?” An Jiuyue looked at him and blinked.
After 20 years of war, the Demon Heart Hall no longer existed. Even if she were to rebuild it, she would be a commander without an army.
Of course, she knew she had to recruit more loyal people, but she had not considered that yet.
“Let’s talk about this later. I still have something to do.”
Qian Liuguang could come here with his people at any time. Although the people in the Jun Lin Hall had high demonic energy, Qian Liuguang had gathered many people from aristocratic families—too many, in fact.
She had to make some preparations.
“Cousin, let me meet Master Ling.”
Zhao Xiaoli hurried back to the Long residence, just in time to see Eldest Young Master Long instructing his subordinate to bring a group of guards to Qian
Liuguang.
Delighted, she rushed to him.
“You want to go?” Eldest Young Master Long glanced sideways at Zhao Xiaoli, who was clearly in a hurry.
‘Yes, I must go.” Zhao Xiaoli nodded.
She did not say that she wanted to go, but that she had to.
She could not step foot into Jun Lin Hall, so she could not find out anything. She did not even know who the Demon Heart was.
Everyone was saying that Qian Jiyun was the Demon Heart, but no one had witnessed it with their own eyes.
She had interacted with Master Ling before. The more he insisted that Qian Jiyun was the Demon Heart, the less likely Qian Jiyun would be the one.
He would not reveal his target to the world and risk attracting more competitors.
“Cousin, let me go. I want to see what Master Ling is up to. I have ties with him. He’ll more or less let down his guard when I’m around. I can also find out what that old guy wants.”
Eldest Young Master Long’s eyes flickered.
Indeed, he had been withholding his guards from Qian Liuguang because he knew there were many things they did not know about Qian Liuguang.
He did not know what Qian Liuguang was up to. He would never believe that Qian Liuguang was trying to avenge the Ling family.
He could not see any sorrow in Qian Liuguang’s expression when the Ling family was destroyed.
Even if there was any sorrow, it was just an act. People with discerning eyes could see through him at a glance. It was commendable that Qian Liuguang continued to put up an act in front of him.
“Master Ling is sinister and vicious. He might not let you off. You must understand this.”
He was happy to let Zhao Xiaoli go, but there were some things he had to remind her about.
“I know.”
How could Zhao Xiaoli not know this?
But so what if she knew Qian Liuguang would attack her after he obtained what he wanted?
Qian Liuguang was capable, but she was not stupid either. If she was incapable of countering danger, the ruthless Long family would have devoured her long ago.
“You still want to go even though you know?” Eldest Young Master Long asked with a frown.
“Yes.” Zhao Xiaoli nodded with certainty.
Of course, she had to go! She had to keep an eye on Qian Liuguang and not let him reap all the rewards! After all, she had sacrificed so much. She could not end up with nothing in the end, right?
“Alright then. You’ll go with them. Remember, retreat immediately if there’s any danger,” Eldest Young Master Long reminded her. He watched as she left with the guards with a smile on her face..
