Rongman fell silent, her head bowed, lost in thought.

As she spoke, the girl looked at Qingyuan. "Spread the news of the Delin family heir's return."

"Huh? No way!"

Qingyuan refused without hesitation, his expression serious. "Those guys from Zero are after you right now. If this gets out, you'll be in danger."

"That's exactly what we want—for them to come to us."

The girl smiled and sat down at the dining table. "The Delin family can't afford a war of attrition, nor do they have the time for it. Zero doesn't have a fixed location now, but they have people scattered everywhere. The Delin family is in a very passive position, and they can't sustain this situation."

The Delin family is now on the brink of collapse; bankruptcy and annihilation are just a matter of time. Their only options now are to save their family and fight this battle.

Kesen sat next to her, seeing no hint of a joke on her face, and finally gave in.

Fine, since that's the case, let's send more people to guard her for now. Although it's somewhat dangerous, what she said makes sense.

"That's not impossible, but you have to ensure your safety." Qing Shuang poured a glass of milk and placed it beside the girl.

Qi Jiu nodded. "Don't worry."

In the back garden after dinner, Rongman looked at her mother with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"Since Qi Jiu came back, why are you always doting on her? Isn't my daughter important anymore? You're even speaking up for her..."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.

Qing Shuang smiled. "She's the heir. If I don't revolve around her, who will I revolve around? She's not only the sole heir of the Delin family, but also my niece. You're my own flesh and blood, how could I not care about you? But she needs care too."

As she spoke, she took Rongman's hand and patted it gently twice.

"She is also your only sister. Remember to help her out in many situations. I have a feeling that our Delin family will become somewhat different in the future."

Rongman looked at her without saying a word.

Did you hear me?

Seeing her mother's growing anxiety, Rongman reluctantly nodded. "I know, it's so noisy."

On the other side, Qi Jiu was at the training ground, looking at the huge crowd in front of her, then at Ke Sen next to her, and tilted her head.

"This is……"

"These are all people I trained. Since we're going to reveal your identity, we naturally need to protect you. I'll only feel at ease if someone is protecting you closely."

Kesen, dressed in a black training uniform, looked at the people in front of him with a face full of pride. "Look around, is there anyone you like? Or rather, would it be more convenient for girls to follow you?"

It's not that there are no girls here, it's just that boys make up the majority.

Qi Jiu hadn't expected that this guy had called her here right after finishing his meal just for this matter. Looking at the people in front of her, she smiled.

"No need. I have Lin Yan behind me. These people are here to protect the Delin family. Don't waste resources on me."

Even after she spoke, some people still recognized her.

After all, she and Lin Yan were quite conspicuous in the crowd yesterday.

Seeing their wide-eyed expressions, Kesen seemed to have thought of something, a smile playing on his lips.

“You are the heir of the Delin family. They are the ones who protect the Delin family, so they should protect you even more. You are more important than anyone else in our Delin family right now.”

Qi Jiu wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this guy's voice got much louder when he talked about the 'successor'.

He looked at her and said, “Little sister, I know Lin Yan is also a martial artist, but he is ultimately just one person. Sometimes he can’t be in two places at once. Sometimes, having more people can be an advantage.”

A serious look appeared in Kesen's eyes.

Seeing this, the girl understood that if she didn't agree today, this guy probably wouldn't let it go.

Since that's the case...

"Then let's choose one?"

Kesen nodded. "Not to mention one, choosing several is no problem either."

Looking at the people in front of her, the girl pursed her lips, then raised her hand. "Then let's go with her."

Looking up, I saw a girl in training clothes. Unlike typical teenage girls, she didn't have long hair; her dark hair stopped abruptly at her chin.

She was somewhat cute, but with the contrast of her skin tone and eyes, she seemed like a completely different person.

When she saw the direction Qi Jiu was pointing, she was taken aback. "Miss, have you chosen me?"

She understood what Kesen had said. It turned out that the girl she had met yesterday was no nobody, but the heir that the Delin family had been hoping for.

Now, the most prestigious position in the Delin family is that of the heir!

Thinking about it now, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger...

She never expected that happiness would come so quickly, and now such a heavy responsibility has fallen on her shoulders.

"Yes, it's you."

The girl tilted her head, seemingly finding nothing wrong with the situation.

The girl who had just been pointed at stepped forward, somewhat flattered. "My name is Mengling, and I am willing to protect your safety, Miss!"

Seeing that the guards' duties were decided so easily, before Kesen could even speak, he heard a rather loud voice.

"Miss, I'd also like to get involved!"

Upon hearing this sound, Kesen smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated this outcome.

Looking up, she saw a man with dark skin, regular features, and bright eyes. At this moment, his eyes were full of fighting spirit as he looked at Qi Jiu.

"Little sister, I forgot to tell you, everyone in our Delin family's guard is incredibly ambitious. They'll seize any opportunity to climb the ranks. Their ambition is beyond your wildest imagination."

The Delin family's guards will fight for what they have the strength to do, but they won't have any conflicts over it.

Upon hearing this, the girl was taken aback, then turned her gaze to the boy.

"Want to have a match?"

Xilin nodded at Qi Jiu, "This subordinate believes that I am also capable of protecting the Heir! Therefore, this subordinate would like to try my best!"

Since he's said that, Qi Jiu can't possibly not give him a chance.

Seeing the eager looks around him, he smiled. "Anyone else thinks they can handle it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in front of him took a step forward, as if they had planned it together.

"We can all!"

Their voices were loud and clear, echoing through the sky.

"In that case, let's meet on the arena over there!"

When Lin Yan arrived, he saw a group of people surrounding the arena, where two people were fighting fiercely.
