Xiao Linghan seemed to want to show Jiang Tian his uprightness, because several times, if he had launched a sneak attack, the fight would have ended prematurely, but he didn't.
Conversely, the leader of the guard lost his composure in the end and resorted to several underhanded tactics.
For him, any move is acceptable as long as he can win.
But even after using all his tricks, it was to no avail.
A defeat is a defeat; his skills are far inferior to those of the person in front of him.
"You both did a good job."
Jiang Tian's eyes showed approval.
She stepped forward and patted the guard captain on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged. In my mind, you are already one of the best. But you must understand one thing: there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. Losing to him is not shameful."
The guard captain blushed when Jiang Tian patted him, and he quickly nodded.
Xiao Linghan stared intently at the hand resting on someone's shoulder for a moment, then lowered his gaze again.
Jiang Tian lowered her hand and walked up to Xiao Linghan again: "All's fair in war. I know you're just trying to impress me and don't dare use those underhanded tricks. But don't worry, everyone has a few tricks up their sleeve. Don't think of me as some kind of good guy. Use these tricks when necessary. Winning is the most important thing."
After she finished speaking, Xiao Linghan nodded silently.
His head remained lowered, his gaze fixed on Jiang Tian's hands. However, he didn't pat his shoulder even after Jiang Tian left his side.
“Xiao Linghan won, and Wang Qi lost. So, Xiao Linghan will be the leader of the guard team, and Wang Qi will be the deputy leader. Xiao Linghan will not be responsible for night duty. Wang Qi, you can make the arrangements.”
"yes."
After this competition, Xiao Linghan finally broke free from the inner quarters and successfully became the leader of the guard team.
As his abilities became known to many, the neglect he had experienced gradually disappeared.
He was a very righteous person, and he never shirked his responsibilities when others asked him for advice. Moreover, his guards were very capable, and the atmosphere within the guards had improved considerably. Gradually, everyone realized that he was truly a remarkable person.
Having a place in the front yard doesn't mean Xiao Linghan can be close to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian remained indifferent to him.
Aside from the warmth that comes from their embrace at night, Jiang Tian's attitude towards him was worse than that towards her closest maid.
Xiao Linghan was originally an expressionless person, but now he looks increasingly cold and aloof.
The more aloof and ascetic he appears, the more unique his aura becomes.
Since he became the leader of the guard, he has had many more opportunities to meet the ladies and daughters who come to visit.
Several young ladies were stunned when they first saw him.
The Northwest is nowhere near as prosperous as the capital, and there are very few good-looking people there. Xiao Linghan is a well-known handsome man in the capital, and when he came to the Northwest, he was even more like a god descending to earth.
Even some ladies secretly flirted with him.
The atmosphere in the Northwest is much more open than in the capital; otherwise, people wouldn't be able to accept Jiang Tian keeping male lovers.
If one could find someone with Xiao Linghan's looks, just looking at them would be a pleasure.
However, after they all learned about his true background, they were all disappointed.
It turns out that he was the "beauty" that Jiang Tian had hidden in the golden house.
Now everyone understands why Xiao Linghan, just a lowly bodyguard, was so indispensable to Jiang Tian, who carried him all the way from the capital back to the Northwest.
