"So you are being watched by Zhao Song's dark guard for two months?"
"Yes"
"Did he gave up?"
"No. Still faithful to his master's orders. For the moment I open my eyes to the moment I close he is by my side. A truly good companion"
"I'm glad you found a good match... so what are you doing here since you have such a good man by your side?"
Sorry that he doesn't get the motives of why this little girl invaded his study. He felt like a little Miss who had her boudoir invaded. Plus, just the fact she evaded a dark guard is troubling.
"I missed you!"
Si Yifeng just kept staring at her.
"...and also the fact that I heard from my brother you are going to the Royal Hunt"
"Oh, just this? Yes. Father said I should start attending. Something about being a real man and all"
He shook his hand to dismiss it like it was nothing important.
"Zhao Song is weary about you. Must you really go?"
"Little girl are you worried about me?"
"Of course!"
The unhesitant answer posted a smile on his face until he heard the compliment and his face was all black.
"Who else would let me in on the 'Red Lotus'? That Big sister promised me to teach me some tricks next time I visit them!"
Th-This outrageous little girl was still thinking about visiting a brothel! If he could he wanted to have a serious conversation with Ming Peizi about how he educates his children!
Ming Shu completely ignored the dumbfounded face that Si Yifeng was doing.
"Well, you should protect yourself well anyway. I will make my cousins follow you with my brother. Although not always reliable they are very capable in this area"
"What area?"
"Living meat-shield"
The unbelievable face that Si Yifeng made took a loud laugh from Ming Shu.
"Just kidding. This face is precious, I'll guard this memory for a lifetime!"
Ming Shu made a solemn face as if she had gained a precious treasure which earned her a flock on her forehead.
"You!"
"Ouch! The flick was totally unnecessary. They are good bodyguards. High martial arts and absolutely loyalty. They won't abandon you when things get bad"
"You cursing me absolutely gets me reassured"
Ming Shu smiled and jumped to the window.
"I'm relieved to see you can still joke. I'm going then, otherwise my new found partner will abandon me. Stay alive so we can meet again"
With an ominous farewell Ming Shu disappeared into the night.
Si Yifeng shook his head to the disappearing back.
The little girl was so not honest. But he was glad she came to visit. Of course he knew how dangerous the next hunt will be. Zhao Song and his concubine mother will undoubtedly plot his death there and he already have a contingency plan.
But he was troubled in reviling his forces. It was still too soon for them to come up and now with the Li Brothers and Ming Peng, he didn't need to worry about the people behind assessing his strength, he could just brush as the pure talent from the General Li's grandchildren.
Seriously, the little girl was just like a locust in his belly.

Ming Shu who came back from her little outing change herself with Luyu who was pretending to be her sleeping.
After days living together with her new fellow dark guard, she already figured out his daily routine and when he took little breaks.
This was only possible because of her high martial arts and two lives living experience. Also the fact that the dark guard thought she was just your normal spoiled Miss helped too.
With low vigilance from her watcher and high skills from herself, she could have a few minutes of privacy everyday if she wanted, is just that... she couldn't be bothered.
'The boring lifestyle still the best'
Slipping in her covers she mentally gave her good night to her hidden friend and closed her eyes.
