When did she acquire so many enemies?
"You don't have to worry, with me here, I won't let anyone hurt you," the Masked Man assured her.
"What about when we reach the capital? Where do you plan to settle me?" Zuo Xiangning now sorrowfully realized that the very capital city she longed for had nowhere safe for her to stay.
She originally couldn't return to the Zuo Residence in an open and aboveboard manner; now if someone else wanted to kill her, she couldn't go back at all. What if it put her family in danger?
As for the little courtyard and the other houses, they were all unsafe too.
"Who exactly are you? Are you also from Wu Fu Tang? One of the Four Great Helmsmen?" Zuo Xiangning's mind suddenly bore a more preposterous thought, "Could it be that Lingxiao has entrusted me to you?"
"If that were the case, would you accept it?" the Masked Man inquired.
