Chapter 15 Temporary Bodyguard

"Lord Chenjing, can you help me protect the young lady for a while? I look like this, really..." The old man said with a little difficulty. Although he also knew that this request was very abrupt, he still said it. Maybe Jing Chen would refuse, but if he didn't say it, there would be no chance at all. It is.

With a slight meditation, Jing Chen's eyes fell on the girl. At this moment, the girl's face was full of helplessness and fear. From her, Jing Chen seemed to see Yue Yanran under the city of Mante, who was so helpless, but Yue Yanran was even more desperate.

Just as the old man was desperately waiting for Jing Chen to refuse him, Jing Chen said slowly, "I can let you stay with me for a few days, but I'm going to go to the depths of Yuege Linhai. Will you go with me?" Although he feels sorry for the experience of this master and servant, Jing Chen will not forget his business. After all, Yueran is still waiting for him to save him. Compared with Yueran, these two are just strangers.

Although Jing Chen only promised to take them with him, the old man was still very happy. Even if he went to the depths of the Yuegelin Sea, there was nothing. If they could pass the transit area of Yuege Linhai, the two could just use the space portal to return to the Imperial City of San Bruno, which also saved the fatigue and danger on the journey.

"Thank you, Lord Chenjing." Hearing Jing Chen's words, the girl's face was also happy. For her, death was a very scary thing for her. For the first time in her life, the girl felt that death was so close to her.

......

That night, the three stayed in a hotel in Renkel City. Although there were only three people, Jing Chen still chartered an independent courtyard. First, Jing Chen liked to be quiet. Second, he did not want the invited killers, or those who intended to track, or even approached him, to have the opportunity to take advantage of.

The night came slowly, and Jing Chen's room was dark. At this moment, Jing Chen was sitting cross-legged **, practicing the secret method of the starry sky. However, today's practice is slightly different from the past, because he wants to retain his perception to protect the master and servant so that he will not encounter some accidents.

"Bum bang bang!" The door of the old man's house was knocked. After a while, the girl with the old man's permission walked into the old man's room. "Grandpa Elan, how's your injury? Is it better?" After the girl took to the door, she asked with great concern. Although the old man named Elan was not strong in her father's guard, since she was very young, Grand Duke Sophia asked Elan to protect and take care of the girl, so the relationship was like an grandfather and grandson.

With a smile, Elan said, "Xiaona has also learned to care about people. Ha ha, I'm fine. Lord Chenjing is really powerful. Not only has the poison on my body been cured, but also the injury has almost healed. I guess there will be no big problem tomorrow after a sleep." After a pause, Elan looked up at Mina and said, "Mina, why aren't you sleeping now? We have to go with Lord Chenjing tomorrow. Don't delay your business."

"Grandpa Elan, I'm sorry, I'm wayward this time, otherwise you wouldn't have been so seriously injured. It's all because of me..." Mina's eyes also flashed with crystal tears in her eyes. Obviously, she blamed herself for Elan's injury, otherwise it wouldn't have been so late. She came to see if Elan was okay.

"Silly boy, how can Grandpa Elan blame you? I've lived for so many years. As long as you're fine, even if I die, I'll feel at ease." After saying that, Elan seemed to smile happily, but the smile obviously affected the wound. The smile that had just appeared on Elan's face instantly turned into a trace of pain.

"Grandpa Elan, are you...are you all right?" Seeing Elan's painful expression, Mina didn't know what she could do for a while.

"It's okay, Mina. If you have nothing else to do, go back to rest early. Don't drag Lord Chenjing back tomorrow. It's enough to bother him. If it bothers him again, it's not good." Elan said to Mina with a smile on her face. However, in his eyes, a trace of imperceptible solemnness flashed, but this solemnness was obviously not visible to Mina.

"Oh..." Mina answered and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly she seemed to think of something. She turned her head and asked Elan, "Grandpa Elan, do you think those assassins were really sent by Azashi? Although I rejected him at the reception, he didn't have to do this to me. Anyway, my father and his father are also officials in the same dynasty. Mina stared at Elan with big and beautiful eyes.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, Elan shook her head and said, "Xiamina, you can't figure out a lot about many things. Even I don't understand. Don't think too much about these things." Elan obviously didn't want to tell Minay how cruel the world was, let alone tell her about power and conspiracy, because in his opinion, the innocent Mina was really not suitable for touching these things.

"Well, Mina knows." After a clever nod, Mina turned around and left Elan's room and gently closed the door. In Elan's opinion, Mina must have gone back to the room, but Mina did not go back, but walked out of the courtyard. Her idea was very simple. Since those people came to her, she could just leave alone, kind Mina. I really don't want to see innocent people suffer or even die because of themselves.

"Where do you want to go?"

Just as Mina was about to push the door and leave the courtyard, she only felt a breeze blowing. The next moment, Jing Chen appeared beside her. Although Elan had no spare capacity to exert perception because of the injury, Jing Chen was different. It can be said that the courtyard, even the whole hotel, was in his perception. With such a huge perception coverage, Mina's movement naturally can't escape Jingchen's perception.

"I... I'm leaving here. Since they want to deal with me, I'll face them alone. I don't want to see anyone hurt because of me anymore." Mina summoned up the courage to say to Jing Chen, which was more like shouting words in her heart.

For this, Jing Chen shook his head without any doubt and said, "Whether you leave, or whether you live or die, has nothing to do with those killers, and they won't really kill you, because they should be ready to give you to someone, or blackmail your father."

"How is that possible?" Mina looked at Jing Chen in surprise. She thought she had left and was fine to be killed by those killers. Now listening to Jing Chen, those killers are not to kill themselves, but to blackmail them. If that's the case, I'm afraid that those who care about her will bleed heavily.

However, after Jing Chen said this, Mina also understood that what Jing Chen said was very possible. Although she was simple, she was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. If Jing Chen said so bluntly that she couldn't understand, she would be ashamed of her origin and Sophie when she was young. The Duke of Asia spent on educating her.

The next moment, another doubt appeared in Mina's heart, "Lord Jingchen, why are you willing to take my trouble with you? You know, there will be killers coming to kill me at any time. After saying that, Mina opened her two big eyes and looked at Jing Chen in front of her doubtfully. She suddenly found that although the teenager in front of her age in front of her looked young, it gave her the same sense of vicissitudes as Grandpa Elan. This feeling was... very strange.

He was slightly stunned. Even Jingchen didn't expect that the girl would ask such a question, but after all, Jingchen was Jingchen. Naturally, his head would not be slow, and he was not ready to hide the girl in front of him in this matter.

"Because you are like a person, my lover. During the beast tide a few years ago, she also looked as helpless as you just now." Speaking of that matter at this moment, Jing Chen not only hated Ling Yun, but also was a little afraid. If he didn't arrive in time at that time, I'm afraid... shook his head, and Jing Chen stopped thinking about it.

"Oh..." The girl answered and immediately turned to her room. What Jing Chen didn't see was the disappointment that flashed in the girl's eyes. I'm afraid even Mina herself couldn't tell the origin of her disappointment.
