I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

At this time, Qin Shu's voice transmission device rang, and her finger pressed the position next to her ear. A white light surrounded her earlobe.

Qin Shu glanced at the sleeping Qin Rong, turned back and whispered, "Go ahead."

The other party said a few brief words, and a smile appeared on Qin Shu's face, happy and surprised at the same time.

"There's actually such a thing. I understand. I'm hanging up now. I'm in the car now. Let's talk again when we get back to the academy."

Seeing that Qin Shu was in a better mood, Qin Jialin asked calmly, "Are you a classmate?"

"Yes." Qin Shu nodded and said, "A girl named Zhuang Lu rejected the Shen family's marriage proposal."

"then you……"

"Don't worry, I won't do that," she said, looking forward. "The Shen family has just been rejected. If I refuse again, Shen Linji will become a laughing stock in the whole city. The consequences of angering them will be disastrous."

Qin Shu shook her head and couldn't help laughing softly. "The adults only care about the benefits of the engagement. Times have changed a lot now. I may not be the only one who is dissatisfied with this engagement."

Qin Jialin didn't say anything else. He thought Qin Shu was very smart, knew a lot, and was more like an adult than himself.

Qin Shu awakened a powerful animal attribute, the silver dragon. Perhaps her young body could not withstand the powerful power of the attribute, so Qin Shu awakened very late, at the age of seven. She remembered that she was only four years old when she was thrown home by her father.

Qin Jialin felt that his father was really not a human being. Apart from blood, he had never given them anything, and he was too lazy to even give them the insignificant bit of fatherly love.

Those who do not have the attribute of attack power and cannot contribute to the Qin family are not qualified to enjoy the treatment of the Qin family's young masters and young ladies. This is the rule of the Qin family.

But that violated the rules of blood ties and was extremely cruel. Both children born to their mother were disabled. They were treated very poorly in their early years. After Qin Shu was thrown out, she was forced to give birth again.

After three years of depression, Qin Rong was born, but her mother's situation did not change much, because it was not a boy and the awakened attributes were mediocre, so there was no hope of becoming the heir of the Qin family.

Qin Rong became the third child driven out by her father. Her mother could no longer bear it. The three children she had given birth to with great effort were wandering outside, and she didn't even know what kind of life the children were living.

The weak mother could only hate herself for loving the wrong person and for not being able to get rid of him. She ended her life on a sunny day and her funeral was very casual.

But a year later, my father married another woman.

The death of his mother made this cold-blooded father wary of affecting the image of the Qin family. He treated the woman he remarried very well, so well that people suspected that she was a mistress and that his father had been keeping her outside for a long time.

What’s funny is that my father would rather bear the stigma of being a scumbag and a betrayer than let the world know that he was the one who forced my mother to death.

Qin Jialin envied Qin Rong very much. She was very lucky at the age of four because she met the seven-year-old Qin Shu, whose terrifying high attack attribute attracted the attention of the family.

The three of them were taken back to Tianluo City and received some humane treatment thanks to Qin Shu. As resources caught up, Qin Rong's talents were revealed.

With Qin Shu's protection, she raised her head confidently wherever she went, even when facing the elders of her family, she seemed to not know the word "fear".

She is a spoiled little princess who can be lawless and innocent.

Only he is still a useless person, a bad person, and in the eyes of some people, he is not even a human being.

Qin Jialin hid himself, preferably out of everyone's sight, so that no one could hear those words.

In this way, he would think that he was the young master of the Qin family just like Qin Rong and Qin Shu. Even if he could not enjoy this status in reality, as long as Qin Shu and Qin Rong treated him as their brother, he would be the eldest young master of the Qin family.

The thunderstorm continued. In the Shen family manor, Shen Linji pulled a stool and sat in front of a door, staring at the rainy day in a daze.

The boy did not make a fuss and remained calm since he heard that his lifelong arrangements had been decided.

He sat at the door for three or four hours, which made the chef and the maid who delivered the food very troubled, because the person inside the door had not eaten for the whole morning.

The housekeeper tried to persuade him, but was choked back by his words.

"Let him starve to death in there."

At that moment, the butler wished he was deaf. Wouldn’t he be beaten to death for saying such outrageous words?

The fact is that not only was he not beaten, he was safe and sound and continued to do whatever he wanted.

The maids discussed, "Is this a silent protest? The young master doesn't want to marry Qin Shu."

"Who knows? The food can't be delivered. Let's get off work and ignore that strange father and son."

"Yes."

The maids didn't hesitate. They put down the plates and brooms in their hands, went to the cloakroom to change out of their maid uniforms, put on their daily clothes, and happily left work.

The manor was usually uninhabited, and the owner only came back occasionally, so the housekeeper hired a group of hourly maids at high salaries. They worked and left on time, very punctually, and never worked overtime.

Shen Linji was not going to compromise, and Shen's father had no intention of backing down either, so the two of them stood there in a stiff position.

……

In Xunshan Town, the four people in the private room fell silent, looking at each other, waiting for the other to speak.

Han Changyi's appearance inevitably attracted attention, as it was Ji Zimo who asked her for help.

The problem was that she had no idea that Wei Xi would look for Han Changyi. Anyone from the Monster Hunting Alliance could come, but Han Changyi's status was similar to Wen Haoyan's. The engagement was settled, but her identity as a man in black was about to be exposed.

madness.

Lin Yan cursed himself inwardly and explained to Pei Qian that he had bought it. Pei Qian had no doubts and wanted to stop the matter, saying that the money came from him and that it would calm the suspicions of some old guys.

She never showed up in this matter, and no one except the four people present knew that it was she who came forward to help Zhuang Lu.

Ji Zimo finally couldn't help himself and asked Lin Yan, "Do you really want to pretend like that?"

Lin Yan pressed his head and explained solemnly: "I'm not pretending, I'm being cautious. Be cautious! Do you understand?"

Ji Zimo suggested weakly, "Why don't you just say that I'm familiar with Teacher Pei Qin and ask him for a favor?"

Jiang Feng chuckled and said, "What do you think, Teacher Pei?"

"I do not mind."

"That's it." Ji Zimo looked up and smiled happily. The problem was solved perfectly.

Lin Yan's hand was domineeringly placed on his shoulder. Ji Zimo shrank back in fear, "Auntie, what else do you want to do?"

Lin Yan said, "Zhuang Lu has sharp eyes and is a cautious person. She will catch any of your lies through your movements and eyes, so before that, rehearse a few times to make sure there are no mistakes."

"Okay, okay, okay." Ji Zimo shrugged and sighed.

After the two finished practicing, Jiang Feng and Pei Qian sent them back. Lin Yan separated from Ji Zimo before entering the city.

She followed Pei Qin back and kept a distance from him on the way. Jiang Feng's words left her with lingering fears.

Although it is unlikely, being seen close to Pei Qian is not necessarily a good thing. She should just focus on studying and practicing.

He was afraid that Zhuang Lu, the Shen family, the Qin family, the alliance and other powerful forces would become suspicious, and his attribute ring was still broken.

Lin Yan applied for leave from the college again. In fact, it was the first time. Last time, Pei Qian helped her apply for leave.

The reason this time was that he was demoted due to injury. In order to restore his level, he needed to practice in seclusion for a period of time so that he could get full marks in the final exam.

Li Chuanyu approved immediately without any hesitation.

That’s a perfect score!

What's more, Lin Yan is an excellent seed student.

Lin Yan felt a little guilty, so she wanted to avoid the limelight. As for getting a full score...it all depended on fate.

On the other side, Ji Zimo's practice was very effective. Zhuang Lu asked him many times but there was no flaw. She firmly believed that it was Ji Zimo and Pei Qian who saved her.

The college also sent teachers to the Shen family to discuss the matter. The Shen family had no intention of marrying Zhuang Lu and said they had already set their sights on the Qin family. The news of the two families' upcoming engagement spread.

This news was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhuang Lu. The man was going to marry the daughter of the Qin family. From the beginning until now, it was all Zhuang Lu's wishful thinking.

Rumors began to spread in the city that Zhuang Lu wanted to take the opportunity to marry into the Shen family's direct lineage and increase her own popularity.

For a time, Zhuang Jishan's business reputation plummeted, and some people secretly fanned the flames. Within two days, more than a dozen stores under Zhuang Jishan's name were closed.
