On the third day of their journey to the Giant's Continent, Huang Xiao Li came out of her room and pointed at Yuan, who was casually sitting in front of the door and said to him, "I am going to look around the ship, and you'll be coming with me, Yuan."
"What?" Yuan was dumbfounded by her request.
"You encountered robbers just yesterday and you already want to leave your room? That's a little dangerous if I have to be honest," he said to her.
Furthermore, he didn't want to be separated from the rest of the family. What if they're attacked when he's away and dies? That would mean the end of the trial for him!
"I will be fine. After all, you will be there to protect me if anything were to happen, right?" Huang Xiao Li said with a smile on her face.
"What about the rest of your family? I have to protect them as well."
"Have you already forgotten that we have other bodyguards beside you? They will take your spot. Or are you making this difficult because you don't want to be with me? Do you find me bothersome?"
"That's not it…" Yuan sighed.
"Then it's decided! You're coming with me to explore the ship!"
Yuan gave up and nodded his head, "But we still need another bodyguard."
Qin Kai raised his hand and said, "I can—"
However, he was quickly interrupted by Huang Xiao Li, "I have already spoken to my father. I can take just one bodyguard with me. You can go confirm with him if you'd like."
"That won't be necessary. We trust your words." Qin Kai said.
He then turned to look at Yuan and said, "Go ahead and protect the young lady. I will call one of the other guards to take your place until you return."
After pondering for a moment, Yuan nodded, "Let's do it."
