Nangong Yi picked up the teapot while he poured tea into an exquisite Official Kiln Fish Cup, saying warmly, "I will definitely find the Black Powder you asked for within three days."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei rushed him, "Three days won’t be enough time, that old demon, Tianjizi, is probably arriving soon."
Nangong Yi paused, his actions stopping, he looked up, solemnly gazing at Cai Wei.
"Wei’er, how do you know that he is arriving soon?"
Cai Wei pressed her lips together, recounting the encounter she had with the Little Ghost today, but she left out the part about her poisoning and Brother Ying, only mentioning that she had encountered the Little Ghost and had killed him.
After hearing this, Nangong Yi’s face grew serious, looking fixedly at Cai Wei, he asked, "Wei’er, did you not apply the Medicinal Water I gave you?"
Cai Wei stammered, avoiding his gaze, indicating her guilt.
Observing her timid appearance, Nangong Yi knew that she hadn’t taken his advice to heart and hadn’t applied the Medicinal Water on time. Otherwise, Tianjizi’s Little Ghost wouldn’t have found her so quickly.
However, the incident with the Little Ghost was enough to frighten her, and he didn’t want to scold her any further, and he couldn’t bear to see her look so pitiful. He only said, "Lucky you were alert and detected it early, otherwise, under its control, you would have become a puppet controlled by Tianjizi, and you would no longer be yourself!"
Cai Wei nodded with fear still lingering in her heart, echoing, "That was close!"
Nangong Yi seized the moment to say, "Therefore, I want to assign two people to protect you. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have any other intentions, we are allies, and we need to confront Tianjizi together. I don’t want anything to happen to you."
Cai Wei thought for a while, considering her current circumstances, she was exposed while her enemy was hidden and they could attack at any moment. She could escape into the Space in a crisis, but her family couldn’t, and if something happened, they wouldn’t be able to cope.
If there were two more people to protect her family, it could only be a good thing. With this thought, she no longer hesitated and agreed.
Nangong Yi saw her agree swiftly and smiled knowingly, calling out to the outside, "Someone come!"
Immediately, Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue came in, knelt on the ground respectfully, and bowed, "Subordinates see the master!"
Nangong Yi spoke softly, "You both, from today onwards, you will be responsible for protecting Miss Mu, follow all her commands, there should be no mistakes."
On the ground, Zhui Feng and Zhui Yue knew their master’s arrangements in advance, but with reluctance in their hearts, they gritted their teeth, stiffly knelt before Cai Wei again.
"Greetings Miss Mu, we are willing to follow your commands and swear to protect your safety."
Cai Wei raised the cup of flower tea that Nangong Yi had poured for her, smiling. Although the two of them sounded pleasing, how could she not see the resentment and unwillingness in their eyes? Thinking of this, she decided to tease these two men who didn’t match their words and deeds.
She turned to Nangong Yi and said, "Since they are people you assigned to me, they should obey my commands, right?"
Nangong Yi smiled warmly, "Indeed!"
Cai Wei laughed wickedly, "You two will follow me, and I don’t care about anything else. I just don’t like your names and think they should be changed. Are you willing?"
Seeing that the two of them remained silent, Cai Wei couldn’t help but look at Nangong Yi, only to see him lift his tea cup, glance at the two men on the ground, and lightly cough.
