"What? You two mean I can still be a decent human being, and still live in this world?"

Jiang Hao was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Ye Lingfeng was equally surprised. "Fifth Brother, I don't understand what you mean."

"It's very simple. Let Jiang Hao protect you from now on. Of course, we know you are very skilled, but wouldn't it be better to have an extra person protecting you?"

This idea was Xiaoxi's, so is Eighth Brother going to refuse Xiaoxi's kindness?

Ye Lingfeng quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Xiao Xi said loudly, "Ye Lingfeng, what are you worried about? Or are you afraid of Jiang Hao?" After all, he was an old zombie, with over two hundred years of zombie age.

Ye Lingfeng himself had been tortured to the point of being a living ghost, his body covered in wounds and on the verge of death. At that time, he longed to live even more, so he could understand Jiang Hao's feelings of desperately wanting to survive.

"Fifth Brother, Xiaoxi, what I mean is, why do I need protection?"

"Ye Lingfeng, even if you have Xiao Nai by your side, Xiao Nai is a girl, and there are some situations where it's inconvenient for her."

Let me be frank, your return to China will definitely attract the attention of your master's family. Do you think they'll let you escape so easily?

Besides, our Ye family siblings are now united and their strength is unbreakable. I can't swallow this insult. We'll eventually have to confront the main family. It's better to be prepared and take precautions, understand?

Xiaoxi said a lot, she said everything she needed to say, and then she said one last thing.

"Don't forget the agreement, this is an order!"

Ye Lingfeng weakly replied, "I understand." He hadn't expected that his younger sister had been plotting for him all along.

At this moment, Jiang Hao was troubled.

"Minister Ye, Major General Ye, you've brought me to this remote forest where the sun doesn't shine. You know it's not easy for me to walk around outside, otherwise I wouldn't have gone against my conscience to steal the Yaojing."

Xiaoxi smiled slightly, "What's so difficult about that?"

A small piece of obsidian suddenly appeared in her hand. "With this, you won't have to worry, right? But you must remember to protect Ye Lingfeng's safety at all times."

Having lived in this world for so many years, surely Jiang Hao knows this rule: if someone betrays the Ye family, his life force will be immediately cut off. To put it bluntly, this is a deal the siblings made with him.

But it was also his good fortune that he had this opportunity. The old Taoist priest who saved him told him to wait for his opportunity, and the Ye siblings were his opportunity.

So he knelt down very respectfully to pay his respects.

"I, Shumulu Haoran, swear to protect the Eighth Young Master with my life." He performed the ancient Manchu rituals and stated his full name.

Xiaoxi knew that military generals kept their promises, so she nodded in satisfaction.

Ye Xingxian thought for a moment. Shumulu Haoran was currently appearing as Jiang Hao, and both her father and mother knew about today's situation. If she went out rashly like this, she might startle her mother.

Moreover, everyone in the base's research lab knows that Jiang Hao's appearance needs to be changed.

He handed Jiang Hao a talisman.

"You should just stay the way you were two hundred years ago; nobody will remember anyway. But your name is quite eye-catching, so change it to Mu Hao from now on!"

Jiang Hao took the talisman. He knew how precious it was; the talisman that the old Taoist priest had given him had lasted for two hundred years.

He walked towards the ancient tree and transformed, emerging as a tall, handsome man in his thirties.

Stepping out of the shade and into the sunlight, Mu Hao let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, he was living like a proper human being, upright and honest. It felt so good.

Ye Lingfeng was a little confused when he suddenly found himself with a bodyguard after arriving.
