Ni Qing smiled nonchalantly: "Or you could want a higher position, that's fine too, it depends on your performance."

If you perform well, you'll get whatever you want; if you don't perform well, you'll be treated the same as always.

"Thanks, but no need," Bai Guanqing said coldly, then picked up the dagger that had just killed him, examining it as if considering where to start.

“Miss, a message from the front yard says…” A sweet, innocent female voice suddenly came from the doorway.

The conversation abruptly ended once the situation inside the room was clearly seen.

Although Bai Guanqing was in a superior position, he was facing away from the door, so Zhuzhu did not see the blood-dripping dagger in the man's hand.

She was greatly shocked.

In her eyes, the beautiful young lady lay helplessly on the ground, her black hair scattered on the brown ground, and the knuckles of her fingers hanging by her side were pink.

The taciturn and unassuming guard was kneeling on her in an indescribable position.

Bai Guanqing lowered his eyes. Trouble. He was going to have to kill two people.

He was about to turn his head when his collar was suddenly grabbed, forcing him to lower his head.

Zhuzhu covered her face in embarrassment.

That young lady of theirs is really something. Of all places, she has to be on the ground, in broad daylight, without even closing the door. It's such a hardship for her, a young and unmarried woman.

Little did the young woman, Cucumber, know that she had just brushed shoulders with death.

The secret guards do not show their true faces, which reduces the number of enemies who are eyeing them covetously, and makes it easier for them to carry out their tasks.

But once exposed, no survivors could be left. Many guards, out of compassion, couldn't bring themselves to kill them, but ultimately none of them met a good end.

Therefore, Ni Qing believed that Bai Guanqing was not just talking casually. If Zhuzhu had seen his face, even she would have had a hard time guaranteeing that she could stop him.

She lightly grabbed his collar, her voice soft: "Zhuzhu, we can talk about it later."

Zhu Zhu stared blankly and said "Oh," then thoughtfully closed the door before leaving, completely forgetting what she was supposed to say to the front yard.

"Why didn't you call for help just now? You were almost dead." Bai Guanqing greatly admired Ni Qing's resilience.

Ni Qing casually released his hand, looking at him indifferently: "You and I both know the outcome of asking for help, so let's stop beating around the bush. What's wrong? Aren't the conditions I offered attractive enough?"

Bai Guanqing looked down at her quietly, without saying a word.

The girl continued, "You'd better think twice before killing me. After all, I'm not an ordinary person. No matter how unfavored I am, I'm still the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. If I die, you'll be the prime suspect. Besides—"

She paused, then smiled and said, "Don't forget, everyone knows you're from the General's Mansion. Your death isn't important; what's important is that He Yingyue will also be implicated."

"Please consider my suggestion," she said, easily pushing away the handsome man and dusting herself off. "I can pretend I didn't see anything."

In fact, the man in black had already thought of this. Given his personality, he didn't need to waste time arguing with this woman.

He would have ended it with a swift stroke of the knife; if it weren't for the fact that General He had once saved his life, he would never have hesitated like that.

The General's Mansion must not be implicated.

Ni Qing felt relieved when she saw that mentioning the female lead had worked.

In the end, the male protagonist easily killed the original owner of the body, and her so-called father and family only felt ashamed of her.
