Chapter 82: Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (3)

Xie Jingxing smiled and stood up to leave. He had no intention of talking to them.

“Can you help us?” she asked.

Xie Jingxing turned around and thought for a moment before nodding. “It’s not impossible, but… if you beg me, I’ll help you.”

Gu Yu and Jingzhe’s expressions changed. Xie Jingxing was such a mischievous person, and his tone was so frivolous. Any woman would blush upon hearing that. If not for the fact that they were eager to protect their Miss, Jingzhe and Gu Yu would probably be all red in the face and didn’t know what to say.

Mo Qing frowned. Shen Miao was Shen Xin’s daughter. Growingup, she must have been pampered, and she looked like a stubborn person. With Xie Jingxing provoking her like this, Shen Miao would probably fly into a rage.

However, to Mo Qing’s surprise, when Shen Miao heard that, she quickly said, “Alright, I beg you. Please help us.”

She said this so quickly that Xie Jingxing couldn’t help but choke. He carefully sized up the girl in front of him. Although she was asking for a favor, her gaze was different, and her posture was calm. She didn’t look like she was inferior at all.

Without waiting for Xie Jingxing to speak, Shen Miao immediately said, “Young Marquis, are you going back on your word?”

Xie Jingxing smiled and said softly to the people behind him, “Come out.”

In the blink of an eye, a group of people in black rushed over from all directions. There were roughly more than ten of them.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were shocked, and so was Mo Qing. His martial arts were not weak, but he did not know that there were so many people hiding here. Clearly, these people were more skillful than him. The fact that this young man could easily mobilize so many masters made people wonder his identity.

Xie Jingxing said, “Be careful not to alert the enemy.”

The men in black lowered their heads and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye. Their movements were surprisingly consistent. They were clearly trained for a specific purpose. Shen Miao was deep in thought when she heard Xie Jingxing say, “It will take some time. Let’s take the other path.”

He turned around and walked in the opposite direction. From the looks of it, he was very familiar with the layout of this temple.

“Follow him,” Shen Miao said.

Shen Miao didn’t know what Xie Jingxing’s subordinates did, but they didn’t meet anyone along the way. They even went to the south pavilion where Shen Qing and Shen Yue lived. There were no guards outside. After arriving safely, Shen Miao said to Mo Qing, “You can go back.”

Guards of the Shen family were assigned a place to live. Mo Qing had sneaked out of the place tonight. If anyone found out, he would be suspected.

Gu Yu and Jingzhe accompanied Shen Miao into the house, but Xie Jingxing did not leave. Jingzhe took a step forward and stopped Xie Jingxing from going to the inner room. She looked at him warily. “Young Master, please don’t come along.”

Xie Jingxing stopped. He looked at Shen Miao’s back and smiled. “Shen Miao, you wasted my night. Aren’t you going to explain anything to me?”

Shen Miao stopped in her tracks and sighed in her heart. Xie Jingxing seemed to have the ability to read people’s minds. She knew she couldn’t hide anything from him. She glanced at Jingzhe and Gu Yu and said, “Go and sleep in the outer room. Young Marquis, follow me in.”

“Miss…” Gu Yu was a little flustered.” This is inapproriate…”

If word got out that she was in the same room with a strange man, Shen Miao would really be finished. This kind of thing might forever ruin her reputation.
