When I saw Bai Feng again, he looked rather disheveled, probably because he hadn't tidied himself up.
The only thing that hadn't changed was that when he saw Qi Jiu, his face still beamed with a smile. He was still the same as before, all smiles.
"Miss Heir, you're here again?"
Bai Feng struggled to stand up, his voice full of grievance, "Miss Heir, could you please untie the ropes binding me? I can barely feel my arms anymore."
"You've lost consciousness?"
The girl looked very dashing today, with a high ponytail and a neat work outfit, which was somewhat similar to what Bai Feng was wearing.
“Yeah, I’ve been tied up for so long and I can’t escape. Why don’t you just untie me? These ropes are really uncomfortable for me right now.”
Bai Feng squinted, looking like a cunning little fox who had just stolen some fish.
Qi Jiu looked at him, raised an eyebrow, walked up to him, and without saying a word, reached out and touched his arm.
"The heir?... Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Before Bai Feng could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically because of the girl's actions.
As soon as the little girl touched Bai Feng's arm, she twisted it without holding back at all, laughing as she did so.
"It hurts? Didn't you lose all feeling?" Qi Jiu asked knowingly, which made Bai Feng's expression change immediately.
“Miss Heir, I…”
"Putting everything else aside, you probably won't say anything about the people behind you, right?"
Bai Feng nodded. "Since you already know, don't ask anymore. I won't tell you. I won't run away. Just help me untie this rope."
His voice was very calm, as if he had already made up his mind about this issue.
"Alright."
Qi Jiu nodded, seemingly having anticipated this answer, her face remaining calm.
His hand went straight to his waist.
"The heiress?"
Next, without saying a word, the girl pulled out a dagger from her waist and, to Bai Feng's astonishment, swiftly cut the rope.
Happiness came too suddenly; Bai Feng hadn't even had time to react, and his movements were still somewhat frozen.
"That's how you solved it for me?"
"What's wrong? You don't want to? It's okay, I can tie it for you again. I have plenty of rope here. It's a small problem, just let me know."
Bai Feng: "..." That's not necessary.
Why didn't you ask anymore?
He was still somewhat curious, since these people, who were blocking his way, didn't even intend to let her go, and none of his brothers had survived.
There's no reason for them to let him off the hook; they're probably planning something big later.
"Of course we should ask, but now is not the time."
As she spoke, she looked Bai Feng up and down, from head to toe. Although he was somewhat neat, he seemed to be in a disheveled state.
"Come out with me."
Bai Feng suddenly turned his head to look at the high window of the solitary confinement cell, then looked at the sunlight reflected on the ground, and was stunned.
"Miss Heir, you are underestimating me far too much. In the entire Delin family, besides you, who else can control me now? Aren't you afraid I'll run away if you let me out like this?"
Qi Jiu turned around and looked at him, who was smiling brightly. "The Delin family's layout has been completely changed. Even without the guards, you can't get out."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl turned around and left.
Bai Feng looked down at the sunlight on the ground, seemingly lost in thought, but realizing that Qi Jiu was no longer beside him, he quickly chased after her.
"Miss Heir, you still haven't answered my question. What's your name?"
Bai Feng quickly caught up. The sight of such a large creature surrounding the little girl was rather eerie.
"Bai Feng, do you talk this much when you're with Zero?"
When we first met, I thought this guy was a ruthless and taciturn person, but I didn't expect him to be so troublesome.
Bai Feng paused, his smile somewhat forced. "Miss Heir, there's no point in what you're saying."
Now they both know, even though it wasn't explicitly stated, they both understand.
"Go to the side building to report. I've already had new clothes prepared for you. From now on, you'll be my personal bodyguard. No matter if your heart is with Zero or somewhere else, if you don't fulfill your duties, I'll beat you up. I won't hold back."
With that, the girl turned and left without giving him any time to react.
Bai Feng watched the gradually blurring figure, the corners of his mouth curving wider and wider, before he walked gracefully toward the side building.
Inside the main building, Qingyuan looked at Qijiu, hesitant to speak.
"Qiqi, did you release the person you brought back yesterday?"
The girl did not hide what she did, so the slightest disturbance was enough to find out.
"yes."
Qi Jiu answered quickly, but the more she answered, the uglier Qing Yuan's expression became. "I heard he might be one of Zero's men. If that's true, then it's extremely dangerous, you..."
"It's alright, I've faced him before, I know what I'm doing. This guy won't answer any questions, so let's try a different approach."
“But…” Qingyuan seemed to want to say something more, but Qijiu spoke again.
“Uncle! I understand many things. I know that from your perspective, this is indeed not a good decision, but I have my own understanding.”
The little girl had a clear smile on her lips, but there was no warmth in it.
Qingyuan was taken aback upon seeing this, and then fell silent. Qi Lin, on the other hand, kept glancing at Qi Jiu, as if he were looking at something.
"Uncle, don't worry. Qiqi is a hidden talent. I've thought about it, and I think most of the people who blocked her way must have died at her hands. Since she was able to kill all the obstacles and make Mengling and the other two change their attitudes, I imagine my little sister's abilities are more than that."
Rongman, who had always been invisible, now spoke like a lazy cat, her voice not soft, but reaching everyone's ears.
"What? My little sister did it?" Qi Lin was clearly taken aback.
"Otherwise, brother, do you really think an ordinary young girl would remain so calm in the face of an ambush?"
"Miss Heiress~ I'm here to report for duty~"
Suddenly, a very nonchalant voice came from the entrance of the main building. Turning around, one could see Bai Feng wearing the uniform of the Delin family's guards, walking with a very dashing posture.
"Miss Heir, what do you think of my outfit?"
Bai Feng, like a little girl who had just put on new clothes, proudly swayed around in front of Qi Jiu twice before finally stopping in front of her.
