“We do need some manpower.”

"How many?"

"Around fifty, and quite strong." Ye Qianning was not polite.

"Will fifty people be enough?"

"The more nature you can bring in, the better."

"I understand. I'll go back to the mansion and call for help."

Nan Xiang responded promptly and decisively, then turned around and went back to call for help.

It was the first time she had seen so many men of letters. The scene was spectacular. She couldn't imagine the amount of manpower and financial resources required to accommodate them all.

Fifty people are not enough!

As soon as Nan Xiang left, two figures landed.

"Miss."

"Miss."

Du Yi and Luo Xuan knelt on one knee.

"Get up, I don't want to replace you." Ye Qianning rarely saw the two of them together, and she thought it was because she heard the conversation between her and Nan Xiang just now.

"I will never marry. I am willing to protect the young lady for the rest of my life." Du Yi kowtowed solemnly.

Luo Xuan also kowtowed to show his attitude.

"Get up, I was not thoughtful enough about this matter." When Ye Qianning heard Nan Xiang talking about the secret guards, he realized that what he had just said had made them panic.

Du Yi and Luo Xuan looked at each other without standing up.

"Miss, I will never marry in my life and will only be loyal to you, Master Ru and Miss." He clasped his hands together and spoke in a solemn voice as if he was taking an oath.

"The same is true for me."

Ye Qianning lowered his eyes and looked at the two of them, his eyes indifferent, just staring at them.

Du Yi and Luo Xuan looked at Ye Qianning respectfully and firmly.

"You are my guards as well as my family. Whether we get married or not, I will never abandon you." After a long moment, Ye Qianning withdrew his gaze. Before Luo Xuan and Du Yi could speak again, he added, "I hope that your future will be free to follow your heart, without being bound by unwritten rules. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"I understand."

Luo Xuan and Du Yi are full of energy and their voices are very loud.

"Get up."

Luo Xuan and the other man stood up.

"I won't ask too much about your private affairs from now on. Just make up your mind." Seeing their frowns relax, Ye Qianning realized how abrupt he had been. "Life is about pursuits and ideals. If you follow your own goals, your life will not be in vain."

She believes that if people live their lives the way they like, there is nothing to regret when they grow old.

No matter which path you take, being able to do what you want is a success.

Ye Qianning has always been indifferent to marriage, but she still cares about Xiang Minghou, Qian Fanji, and the people around her.

Zhan Chi, Gu Shuo and the others are all from prominent families. If she hadn't appeared, they might have already married and had children. Her appearance made everything go off track.

In her heart, she also hoped that they could have their own family and children.

"Yes, I understand."

Luo Xuan and the others have been with the eldest lady for many years, so they naturally know that their lady is different from others.

In their hearts, her young lady was like an immortal. Having such a master was enough for a lifetime.

As for getting married, they had never thought about it before and still haven't thought about it now.

"Miss Ye, Miss Ye..." Several scholars came quickly.

"What's the matter, sir?" Ye Qianning turned her head and saw that the scholar was already in front of her.

"Ms. Ye, Dean Loushan has brought a group of teachers from Loushan to visit Mr. Chen." The scholar in the front said breathlessly.

Ye Qianning was not surprised at all when he heard this: "How many teachers did you bring?"

"There are more than twenty of them. They say they're inviting gentlemen from the west side of the city to Mount Lou. Miss Ye, go check it out." (End of this chapter)
