"Got it! No need for you to remind me. My magical skills aren't that low; how could I be afraid of a swordsman? I won't easily fall victim to him!"

Liu Ying joked, then furrowed her brow and said, "However, I'm really afraid of pushing him too hard, and that he might use other methods to deal with me! Like using force, then I'd be helpless! After all, no matter how powerful I am, I'm still a woman. In this area, I'm naturally at a disadvantage. No matter how clever I am, I can't match a raging beast."

Saying this, she gave Ye Xuan a sideways glance, making someone feel quite guilty.

He rubbed his nose, silently thinking: Damn! What does this have to do with me? I'm a refined beast; I'd never do such barbaric and rough things!

Of course, he wouldn't say these words out loud, and Ye Xuan didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he cleared his throat and said:

"Well... ahem! I think you're overthinking it. After all, you have a high status, being the eldest daughter of the Liu Family in Jianghai East. No matter how arrogant he is, he should consider your background, right?"

Liu Ying glanced at Ye Xuan, pouting, "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending? They say even a strong dragon can't suppress a snake in its territory. Although I'm the Liu Family's eldest daughter and can call the shots in the East Sea and East Capital, this is Shangjing, after all. Does my name still carry weight here?"

"Moreover, Jianghai might be the economic center of Yan Country, but in terms of political status and family heritage, it's far inferior to Shangjing! He, a playboy from Shangjing, wouldn't take someone like me seriously, would he? If he really wanted to use force, he wouldn't care about my status at all."

It seems this woman isn't completely naive, knowing her notoriety doesn't work here. With this sense, she shouldn't be fooled.

Ye Xuan shrugged, not saying another word.

"So what are you going to do, Sister Liu Ying? Are you planning to give up on staking it in Shangjing?" Yao Xingtong asked.

"Giving up is impossible! I've made thorough preparations for this move to Shangjing and have promised the family. If I give up now, all my carefully laid plans will be wasted, and the invested funds will be hard to recover. This loss is my personal interest! Besides..."

Liu Ying's lips curled into a cold smile, her tone turning eerie: "Currently, the Liu Family isn't peaceful. There are quite a few people in the family hoping to see me achieve 'results'. How can I let them down?"

With Liu Ying saying this, Yao Xingtong didn't know what to say and could only ask: "So what do you plan to do?"

Liu Ying's gaze turned to Ye Xuan beside her, her charming face blossoming into a fox-like smile, making Ye Xuan tremble internally, thinking something was amiss!

As expected!

The next moment, Liu Ying sashayed over to Ye Xuan, affectionately hooking his arm, coquettishly saying: "Ye Xuan, my good brother! Your sister is in trouble this time. Would you really stand by and watch me get bullied?"

"What do you want now?"

Ye Xuan felt a headache coming and asked.

He knew there was no good reason for this girl to come to him for help!

"Hehehe, as my good brother, shouldn't you lend a hand to help your sister?"

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

"Tonight, Jiang Tao invited me to a KTV, saying there's a party, and your task is simple: just be my male companion and accompany me! This way, I won't have to worry about him having bad intentions."

Liu Ying blinked her bright eyes, her face lit up with a brilliant smile.

"If it's such a simple thing, why do you have to ask me? Just let your bodyguard accompany you, wouldn't that do?"

Ye Xuan pouted, speechlessly saying.

"If I had a bodyguard, would I be worried about this? Besides, have you ever seen me go out with bodyguards? With an invincible super bodyguard like you, why would I need any others?" Liu Ying said matter-of-factly.

Alright then!

Hearing this absurd logic, Ye Xuan was once again defeated by her.

He rolled his eyes, exasperated, and said, "I think you deliberately premeditated this and then came to ask for my help?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Ying nodded confidently: "How did you know? I did plan this in advance. The moment I knew you were coming to Shangjing, I decided to enlist you as a strong helper and have you at my beck and call."

"So, in your eyes, am I just a tool to carry out tasks for you? If that's the case, can I refuse to help you?" Ye Xuan said calmly.

Liu Ying's expression changed, quickly adopting a pitiful demeanor, shaking Ye Xuan's arm, and coyly said: "Good brother, please help your sister! I was just joking earlier. In my heart, you're a hero who can do anything; how could you be just a tool?"

"Moreover, think about it. In this unfamiliar place, Shangjing, if even you won't help me, then no one will! If that guy really forces himself on me or drugs me, how could I survive? Would you bear seeing me harmed?"

"I wouldn't." Ye Xuan shook his head directly.

Liu Ying internally rejoiced and said: "So, does this mean you're willing to help your sister?"

"I didn't say I was willing."

Ye Xuan shrugged, pondering for a moment before calmly saying: "Actually, I don't mind helping you, but I need to get my girlfriend's consent! If she doesn't agree, then I'm helpless!"

After all, he also had to consider Lu Miaochan's feelings. Helping out without reason, especially for such a beautiful woman, if Lu Miaochan got jealous, what then?

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Liu Ying instantly understood.

She quickly went to Lu Miaochan, took her hand, and sincerely said: "Sister Miaochan, this matter is really important to your sister. Please let Ye Xuan help me! I don't know anyone in Shangjing, and he is the only one I can rely on. If even he won't help me, I really don't know what to do!"

Seeing Liu Ying in this difficult state, Lu Miaochan couldn't bear it.

So, she turned to Ye Xuan and said: "Ye Xuan, please help Sister Liu Ying? She's having a tough time alone, don't let her be bullied by bad people!"

At this moment, she genuinely wanted to help Liu Ying, not out of any obligation or pretense of generosity.

Because she had experienced a similar situation before, and Ye Xuan had helped her out of it, she could truly understand Liu Ying's feelings!

"Sister Miaochan, thank you so much! You're not only beautiful but also so good-hearted; I'm really grateful to you," Liu Ying said joyfully, repeatedly thanking Lu Miaochan.

After thanking her, she turned her gaze to Ye Xuan, asking: "Now that Sister Miaochan agrees, you have nothing to say, do you?"

"Alright, alright! What can I do, my Miaochan is so kind-hearted? Since she said so, I'll help you this time."

Ye Xuan shrugged, nodding in agreement.
