Ji Qingzhou merely slapped the air, and the door slammed shut from the force of his palm. He pulled Wan Ge into a tight embrace, his tone clearly filled with jealousy: "When did you meet him? Why did he send you that?"
Wan Ge knew he wasn't pretending to be naive, so she answered directly: "I don't know him. I saw him once today, but we didn't say anything. I just walked away when I saw him. I feel like he's not a good person."
Although they are not good people either, it's still better for the young master to stay away from them.
“He’s definitely not a good person, and he’ll continue to be like this in the future. Just run away whenever you see him.” Ji Qingzhou gently rubbed her cheek, his gaze then falling on her feet.
However, Ji Qingzhou did not make a move in the end. He simply whispered in her ear, "I think it's not appropriate to leave you here. I'll take you home tomorrow."
"How's your investigation going?" Wan Ge asked Ji Qingzhou in return, since he had said he couldn't leave.
"I'm starting to see some clues." Based on the clues provided by Wan Ge, Ji Qingzhou followed the other party and discovered that it wasn't just him who had problems, but the entire Qingliu Manor.
If there's something wrong with Qingliu Manor, then... that man is very likely to have something wrong with him too.
Ji Qingzhou just didn't understand why he did this. The Feixing Sword would eventually be placed with the Martial Alliance, and it would be even more difficult to investigate if the other party wanted to do anything.
However... if you look at it another way, if Wan Ge hadn't told you that the servant seemed strange, you would never have thought of investigating Qingliu Manor, and you would never have suspected him.
If it really is that person, perhaps I should go home and discuss it with my father. Of course, more importantly, I should bring my wife home and not let her stay in this place.
"Now that you've made some progress, let's stay a little longer. I won't go anywhere else; I'll just stay here and won't wander off. Don't worry." The reason Wan Ge didn't want to leave was that she was worried Ji Qingzhou was investigating too quickly, revealing the truth too early, and that it would deviate too much from the main storyline, potentially causing unforeseen events. Her main concern was Ji Qingzhou's safety.
Ji Qingzhou was about to say no, but then she suddenly realized that she wouldn't feel at ease no matter where Wan Ge was, so it was better for her to stay by her side. "Then you can come with me starting tomorrow. I'm still worried about leaving you here alone."
Ji Qingzhou didn't originally intend to take her along on the investigation, not because he didn't trust Wan Ge, but because there was a lot to do in the investigation, and she might get tired if she stayed by his side. That's why Ji Qingzhou didn't bring her along.
The situation is different now. If it's really as she guessed, Wan Ge is only truly safe by his side.
Wan Ge was overjoyed, so she immediately agreed.
…
The next day, when Ji Qingzhou appeared before the other people who had been investigating with Wan Ge, their expressions were somewhat complicated. Perhaps they felt that Wan Ge was too unfamiliar and that she shouldn't be involved in such matters.
But no one dared to deny it, because the person they were facing was Ji Qingzhou.
Others didn't think as deeply as Ji Qingzhou; they just felt that there might be a traitor inside Qingliu Manor.
No one would readily suspect the leader of the martial arts alliance. After all, in their minds, the leader of the martial arts alliance was an extremely righteous leader.
