She raised her head slightly and said, If I can help you resolve this matter, I will do my best. After all, we are allies during our contract period. I cannot demand you to be my secret guard, risking your life to protect me. But your life and death are of no concern to me. I believe our relationship should be mutual assistance, not one-sided giving.

Meeting her clear eyes, Zhong Lang felt a subtle change in his heart.

He knew Liu Shimei was an extraordinary girl. She wasnt spoiled like the daughters of noble families, nor did she exhibit any sense of superiority. On the contrary, she was hardworking, ruthless to her enemies, and gentle and tender-hearted towards her own people, softer than tofu.eastern fantasy

Sometimes, when he saw her indulging her fiance, Zhong Lang couldnt help but feel puzzled: Why could she be so tolerant and affectionate toward a fool? Huangfu Lingyao had many suspicious aspects, but she trusted him without any doubt.

Occasionally, he would think: The Silly Second Prince really was lucky. He encountered such an otherworldly fiancee, someone who wasnt originally his, but fate led him to her!

He even pondered: If I, Zhong Lang, had met someone like her at the right age, would I still be the person I am today?

Of course, these thoughts were too indulgent. He needed to respond to Liu Shimei. He calmly said, Personal grievances are matters of the martial world. Todays issue is my fault, lets focus on that. As for my involvement with Medicine Lord, since he followed the Liang family here, he will definitely not let it go. Therefore Im sure Eldest Miss wants me to talk to Mu Jiangli personally. We must resolve this matter and keep Eldest Miss from being dragged into the martial worlds conflicts.

Liu Shimei looked at him for a moment before saying, I dont know it might be too late to say that I dont want to be involved in the Jianghus conflicts now. But since there are people from Jianghu around me, and I also want to investigate my brothers death, and since this Wu Qiang is already part of the martial world, Im afraid Im no longer in control of my own fate, even if I dont want to be involved!

Wu Qiang? Zhong Lang was taken aback.

He knew Liu Shimei was investigating the truth behind Liu Quans death, but due to the distinction between men and women and his role as a covert guard, he always maintained a certain distance from her. There was another reason too; every time she mentioned Wu Qiang, he wasnt around to hear, so he was unaware of her investigation into Wu Qiang.

Do you know Wu Qiang? Liu Shimei, seeing his reaction, was suddenly excited. Mr. Zhong, you really know, dont you?

If he did, it would be effortless to investigate.

Zhong Lang hesitated for a moment, then sighed in resignation and said, To be frank, the enmity between me and Mu Jiangli started with Wu Qiang!

Liu Shimei was stunned. Ah?

She hadnt expected this at all!

Zhong Lang sighed and continued, Wu Qiang wasnt known as Wu Qiang in the Jianghu. I didnt know he was one of the Lord Grand Chancellors eldest sons entourage; all I knew was that he suddenly appeared in the martial world, calling himself Wu Duosi. It was later, during a conflict between me and Medicine Lord, that I learned Wu Duosi used to work for the royal family and was known as Wu Qiang.

Wu DuosiO? Liu Shimei mulled over the name. Could it be that he changed his name to remind himself to think more about everything?

She frowned. When my brother was trampled to death by a startled horse, he should have been there to protect him, but he left. Did he leave intentionally, or was he tricked away? Only he knows, but the message I received stated that Wu Qiang is already dead!
