Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the girl's beautiful face. She frowned, as if disturbed from a good sleep, and reluctantly opened her eyes. Looking around, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment. She immediately stood up, intending to draw her twin blades from her waist, only to discover that her waist was empty, and even her clothes had been changed.
Just then, Xie Wei knocked on the door and pushed it open. Upon seeing Xie Wei, the girl remembered what had happened the previous night. She wanted to thank Xie Wei, but the thought that someone had changed her clothes filled her with anger. She kicked off with her leg, preparing to chop Xie Wei with a knife.
Xie Wei realized her intention, took a step back and dodged the girl's attack. Just as he was about to say something, the girl made another move.
Seeing that her attack had been dodged, the girl gripped the ground with one foot and used the other to kick Xie Wei horizontally.
Xie Wei felt that the girl was sick, so he raised his hand and grabbed the foot that the girl was kicking, and no matter how much the girl struggled, she could not break free.
"Hey, they abandoned you yesterday without explaining anything. I only brought you home because I felt bad seeing you all alone in the middle of nowhere," Xie Wei said irritably, thinking the girl was crazy. "You don't even thank me, and you even want to hit me. Apologize!"
Seeing that Xie Wei had misunderstood the point, the girl tilted her head and snorted. Xie Wei's temper flared up, and he grabbed the girl's leg and wouldn't let go. Every now and then, he would pretend to be a hooligan and touch her fair thigh. If looks could kill, the girl's gaze would be enough to make Xie Wei want to tear her to pieces. The situation reached a stalemate.
When Xu Daiwei came out of her room after washing up and saw the scene before her, she rushed over and pushed Xie Wei and the girl apart, saying, "It's still broad daylight, how could you... how could you do such a thing?" Then she stood in front of Xie Wei, with her back to him, and pointed at the girl, saying, "Let me tell you, my brother is mine. You better watch yourself. Don't think that just because my brother saved you, you can repay him with your body."
Xie Wei was dumbfounded after hearing this; his younger sister's imagination was really too vivid.
"Xiaowei, you misunderstood. I wanted to go into her room to see if she was awake, but she tried to hit me, so I had to stop her."
After hearing Xie Wei's words, the girl pointed to her clothes and said, "Clothes, you changed them." Her voice, like her whole demeanor, was cold and devoid of emotion.
After hearing the girl's words, Xu Daiwei finally understood what had happened. Still indignant, she retorted, "What are you so delusional about? I helped you change your clothes." She then straightened her posture, displaying her impressive figure to confront the girl, as if to say, "He hasn't even touched someone with a body as good as mine, why would he touch yours?"
The girl didn't see Xu Daiwei's declaration. She glanced at Xie Wei behind her and noticed the injury on his face. Even though he had applied medicine the night before, it still looked "complex." Feeling apologetic, she still addressed him coldly, "Sorry, thank you."
Xie Wei waved his hand, feeling that the misunderstanding was cleared up and that he had also benefited quite a bit. He turned around and said to the two girls behind him, "Wash up and have breakfast."
I was just about to ask the question that was still lingering from last night, but the timing wasn't right. So, while having breakfast, Xie Wei asked the question that was on his mind, but considering the girl's speaking habits, Xie Wei felt a bit of a headache.
"name?"
"Li Ning"
Xie Wei couldn't help but smile wryly at this kind of questioning, which resembled checking household registration records, and took a sip of the soy milk he had bought that morning.
"identity?"
"Saintess"
Upon hearing the girl mention the word "Saintess," Xie Wei almost spat out his soy milk in shock. Xu Daiwei probably didn't know what the concept of a Saintess meant; her reaction was simply one of admiration that sounded impressive.
Xie Wei swallowed the soy milk in his mouth along with his shock, and hurriedly asked the system, "System, it's a saintess! Is this really not the female lead?" Seeing that the system didn't answer, Xie Wei couldn't help but say, "Are you broken?"
"If the host continues to slander the system and impose electrotherapy punishment," the system's untimely voice announced. Xie Wei could only shut his mouth in frustration; he didn't want to be electrocuted.
Inside the system space, the same little girl was still there, saying, "You stinky Xie Wei, you're the one who's bad! This system never said it had a destiny prediction function. You're just making things up and now you're blaming me. I'm so angry!"
Unable to get any results from the system, Xie Wei had no choice but to ask the girl in front of him again.
"After you fainted, a red-haired man appeared. He was above those four in status. Who is he?"
The girl hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Shura."
"Shura!" Xie Wei was stunned. He had heard of this name before. It was the protector of the Lord of the Underworld, whose strength surpassed that of the Lord. It could be said that he was somewhere between the Underworld and the Unaffiliated Sect. The Underworld could be in trouble, but as long as the Lord of the Underworld was safe, Shura would not intervene. However, there were rumors that the current Shura and the Lord of the Underworld were partners.
What happened last night?
"Assessment"
"Then...what was the meaning of that game?"
"I'll choose you... temporarily... to protect my... qualification," Li Ning said again, seeing the puzzled look on Xie Wei's face. "The assessment... rest stop."
After listening to Xie Wei, she understood. During Li Ning's Saintess assessment, if she realized her strength was insufficient and needed to pause the assessment to improve, she would need to find someone to complete the assessment in her place. That person would then be qualified to protect her and help her improve her strength. That's roughly the idea.
Xie Wei gave a wry smile, "But you didn't ask me if I was willing."
After listening to Xie Wei's words, Li Ning's thoughts returned to last night. While she was taking the assessment, she noticed that Xie Wei was observing her. Xie Wei himself did not show much emotion, and he did not show the shock and fear that ordinary people would have when they saw a cultivator. Moreover, he stopped and watched for a while to make sure that Li Ning was not in any danger before he planned to leave.
