Forced love, an inescapable fate

In the dark of night, Bai Yu, who had just climbed over the wall, hadn't even gained his footing when Wan Yue kicked him in the chest.

Bai Yu was stunned after being beaten and asked in a very aggrieved tone.

"What's wrong, my dear aunt? What have I done wrong? Can you change your habit of beating people without knowing the reason? You are a girl after all. Even though you are a secret guard, you can't always be so violent. Otherwise, you won't be able to get married in the future."

Wanyue rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to talk to him anymore, and continued with her movements.

"What does it have to do with you if I can't get married? You made me very upset today, and it would be unreasonable for me not to give you a beating to vent my anger."

She really needs to vent her anger tonight. It's all because of this guy who comes up with bad ideas.

Bai Yu blocked and dodged, afraid of waking up the sleeping people, and also afraid that his resistance would be too strong and hurt Wan Yue, so he dealt with it with great difficulty and in a mess, and in the end he could only beg for mercy.

"Auntie, I was wrong. Stop it now. If you wake up the master, we will both be in trouble. You don't know that our young master's mood is very unpredictable. He is very difficult to serve. Don't underestimate him because he is harmless. In fact, he has many ways to make you live a life worse than death. If you wake him up, he..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill on his back. He could only secretly say "Oh no!", but it was obviously too late.

He only heard Jiang Ci's cold voice coming from behind him.

"Is your Highness moody? Your Highness is difficult to serve. Wanyue, please explain to him the punishment for secretly plotting against your master as a secret guard."

Wan Yue only discovered Jiang Ci's existence when he made a sound, and was secretly surprised. It seemed that Bai Yu was right. The Sixth Prince's kung fu was indeed very good, at least he was extremely good at concealing his breath.

The two of them hurriedly stopped what they were doing and found that Jiang Ci had already lay down on the recliner in the yard.

Bai Yu complained bitterly, and unfortunately, the person who was responsible heard his complaints.

Wanyue also felt Jiang Ci's aura, which was completely different from that during the day. She probably knew that what Bai Yu said to her might be true, especially the feeling Jiang Ci gave her at this moment, which made her feel inexplicably oppressed.

Although the person in front of them was much younger than both of them, the oppressive aura of a superior from him made people tremble physically and mentally.

Bai Yu frowned bitterly, thinking that he couldn't escape today's punishment. Wan Yue was full of curiosity about Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci didn't say anything, but Bai Yu really couldn't stand the murderous look from Jiang Ci, so in the end he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Your Highness, I was just joking with Wanyue. In my heart, Your Highness is naturally wise and powerful, with great magical powers. I was just making a little joke."

Wanyue looked at Baiyu with a bit of disdain as he was telling lies without blushing or getting nervous.

"Really? Did Your Highness just hear something?"

Jiang Ci raised his eyelids, his tone cold and expressionless.

Bai Yu scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Although the process of Bai Yu's arrangements was not perfect, he managed to complete the task reluctantly in the end. Besides, Jiang Ci did not intend to care about what Bai Yu said at the moment, and he also thought that Bai Yu's evaluation of him was quite appropriate.

"Okay, I won't bother with you this time. If there's a next time, go back to where you came from."

Bai Yu finally felt relieved.

"I will remember your Highness's teachings."

Jiang Ci looked at Wan Yue again, and his intimidating gaze made Wan Yue feel uneasy. She thought that she probably didn't do anything out of line to provoke this guy, but she really couldn't stand the look in his eyes.

After staring at Wan Yue for a while, Jiang Ci spoke lightly.

"Do you know what your mission is?"

Bai Yu had naturally explained this to Wan Yue, and Wan Yue answered truthfully.

"Your Highness, Wanyue's mission is to monitor Princess Qingli's every move."

After listening to this, Jiang Ci remained silent. Wan Yue thought she had said something wrong and quickly looked at Bai Yu for help.

Bai Yu indicated that he didn't know either. He shouldn't have misunderstood his master's intentions.

Jiang Ci was silent for a while and then spoke again.

"In addition to monitoring her every move, you will also temporarily protect her safety until we return to Jing Country. As for what she wants to do on a daily basis, just follow her wishes. Also, do not reveal your identity in front of her."

"I understand. What about the master? Do you want to arrange for someone to come to the academy?"

"No, your mission is to protect and monitor Mu Qingli."

Jiang Ci then made arrangements for the two of them on what to do next, and by the time they were done, it was already late at night.

Mu Qingli was a heavy sleeper, and with the incense burner in the room burning something to help with sleep, she slept until dawn.
