My father suddenly gave me secret guards? Do I even need them?

Look at her short legs, okay, she needs them.

"Get up, don't worry, I'm easy to get along with." Jing Le smiled amiably, like a lucky charm.

Of course, we should ignore the white tiger beneath her.

"Yes, Princess, if there's anything you need, we can handle it..." Shadow Three had the others introduce themselves before disappearing into the shadows.

These ten people are numbered 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15, Room 1, Tail 10, and Void 5.

(The first twenty members of the Dragon Shadow Guard all begin with the character "Shadow". The next group consists of ten members, each beginning with one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, followed by the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends...)

"His martial arts skills are not bad; he's good for running errands."

Jing Le saw that the ten people were scattered in different parts of the courtyard, as if they didn't exist. If Jing Le's strength hadn't been so much greater than theirs, he really wouldn't have been able to find them.

He turned and went back to his room.

The ten people hiding in the shadows felt a chill run down their spines. Could someone tell them how the little princess had discovered them, finding their hiding place with just a casual glance?

Is this still a normal three-year-old child?

That's incredible! Could it be that he really received a personal instruction from Master Wu?

Before they arrived, all ten of them were told the truth by Yingyi: this was Emperor Jing's own daughter.

Now it seems they came to the right place; who wouldn't like a powerful master?

Once the ten of them learned more skills from Jing Le, they were able to easily defeat the other Dragon Shadow Guards, which made everyone envious. Of course, that's a story for another time.

Inside the room, Jing Le had just lay down on the bed to rest. After all, her body was only three years old and she was still growing, so getting enough sleep was essential.

As soon as I closed my eyes, a notification from the Merit System rang in my mind.

[Ding, mission issued: Rescue Yuan Zhengqi, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Reward: 200 merit points, restored to early Golden Core stage strength.]

[Ding! Warning! Warning! Yuan Zhengqi's life is in danger! Host, please go to his aid immediately!!!]

This is the first time the system has alerted Jing Le that the life of the task subject is threatened as soon as the task is issued.

"System, I've wanted to ask this for a long time. I don't even know the mission targets. How am I supposed to identify them, and where am I supposed to go to rescue them?"

The plot provides a general introduction to the people she has a direct connection with, and there is a buffer period. But for those she has an indirect connection with, or those who are directly facing death, where should she go to save them?

[Ding, strong desire detected in the host. Targeted location function activated. 30 merit points deducted.]

Jing Le was completely baffled by the system's operation; how could she just lose all 30 merit points like that?!

But now is not the time to dwell on this. Since the points have already been deducted, saving lives is the priority, as that would earn 200 merit points.

A three-dimensional virtual map appeared before my eyes, with the words 'Yuan Zhengqi' standing out prominently above the red dot, and a red health bar below the name.

Like a health bar in a game, it has a maximum value of 100, but now it only has 10 points left, and it is on the verge of death.

The blue dot represents Jing Le herself, and the map even recommends the best route for her.

"It's so clear, and it works quite well."

After familiarizing himself with the map and location, Jing Le put on his clothes, went out, and called out to the white tiger in the yard, "Little White, time to get to work."

"Awoo!"

The white tiger immediately darted to Jing Le's side and lay down.

The ten people hidden in the shadows were completely bewildered. Why was the little princess calling for the white tiger so late at night instead of sleeping?

What kind of work can a white tiger do?

Shouldn't we call upon these bodyguards to do the work?

By the time they came to their senses, Jing Le had already jumped onto the white tiger's back and gently patted it twice.

A scene that shocked them to their core beliefs unfolded: the white tiger sprouted a pair of transparent wings in front of them, and a moment later, it carried Jing Le into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

They're gone!

The ten people hidden in the shadows came to the courtyard one after another, their eyes wide open, their worldviews shattered.

"The white tiger has grown wings?!"

Is that the main point?

"The important thing is that the big white tiger grew wings and flew away with the little princess!!"

"The little princess has disappeared from our sight!"

After a moment of silence, everyone had only one thought in their minds: Oh no, on their first day on duty, they had lost the little princess!

Finally, it was Shadow Three who stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I will go and report to the Emperor. You all go and find the little princess. Judging from the direction we were looking, it should be outside the palace."

"yes."

...

On the other side.

Outside the palace.

Jing Le arrived at Yuan Zhengqi's house as instructed, without causing any disturbance. He had just drawn a simple flying talisman and an invisibility talisman for the white tiger, so no one saw a large white tiger enter the house of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Jing Le found Yuan Zhengqi in the study. He was lying on the ground, having lost too much blood and gone into shock. If she had arrived any later, Yuan Zhengqi would probably be on his way to the underworld.

Jing Le quickly came to Yuan Zhengqi's side, used her spiritual energy to protect his heart meridian, and took out a blood-replenishing pill from her space to give it to him.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth and took effect immediately. The bleeding stopped, and the pale complexion slowly warmed up. Meanwhile, the health bar was slowly rising: 20%...60%...100%.

"hiss."

Yuan Zhengqi, lying on the ground, slowly regained consciousness.

[Ding! Successfully rescued Yuan Zhengqi, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Reward: 200 merit points. Returned to early Golden Core stage strength.]

[Ding! A special reward has been sent. Please check your account.]

Seeing that the mission was complete and she had woken up, Jing Le prepared to return to the palace. At this moment, her spirit was surging, and she needed to hurry back to form her core and consolidate her cultivation.
