Seeing this, Bai Zhou scratched his head in frustration. He thought for a moment before looking at Chi Yang and asking, “Who do you think is more suitable?”
Chi Yang was stunned, as if he did not react for a moment that his master had thrown the question to him. He immediately blinked and said, “It’s better if you decide yourself, right?”
“Sigh.” Bai Zhou sighed softly and turned to look at Jian Ai, who had been staring at him. “Boss, I can’t trust the members of the Qiusi royal family anymore. You can’t expect me to spend money to hire a bodyguard, right?”
Although they could not figure out who the mastermind was from the killer from before, Bai Zhou could vaguely feel that he was from Qiusi and was likely from the royal family.
However, he did not dare to conclude who it was. It was also because of this that he could trust no one now. It was naturally impossible for him to send someone from Qiusi to protect him.
Jian Ai naturally knew Bai Zhou’s worry. She immediately said, “I didn’t ask you to transfer people from Qiusi. Didn’t you find everyone from the ancient sect? Just ask someone you can trust.”
“Ancient sect?” It shocked Bai Zhou when he heard that. Then, he shook his head in horror. “Sect Master, I can’t. All the disciples of the ancient sect are loyal to the Sect Master. How can I order them around privately? I’m too frightened.”
When Bai Zhou said this, Chi Yang and Si Yue also lowered their heads respectfully, as if Jian Ai had said something serious.
That was the truth. In the ancient sect, only Jian Ai, the Sect Master, could order the disciples around. Other than her, no one else had the right, not even Bai Zhou and Si Yue, who were part of the twelve guards.
This was like the sect rules of the ancient sect. For thousands of years, no one had dared to overstep the Sect Master’s rights.
Jian Ai hated these inexplicable rules the most. She treated these people from the ancient sect as family. Now that her family was in danger, she was in no mood to care about these messy sect rules.
Although they accomplish nothing without rules, some rules were too old-fashioned. In ancient times, power was above all. People with power did not allow anyone to disobey them.
However, this was already a modern civilized society. Those old rules were a hindrance. Jian Ai rolled her eyes just thinking about it.
The first thing she was going to correct was that these people kneel when they see her!
Moreover, rules were dead, but people were alive.
Jian Ai immediately raised her head and said in an unquestionable tone, “If you insist on putting up rules, I’ll tell you now that this is my order as the Sect Master. I order you to find someone from the ancient sect to protect you. Be it an ordinary sect member or one of the twelve guards, as long as this person is capable.”
Bai Zhou: “…”
This was the first time he had seen the Sect Master give an order in such a tone. It seemed to carry a hidden anger?
Bai Zhou didn’t dare to say anything else. He could only nod obediently. “I understand!”
Seeing this, Jian Ai immediately rolled her eyes. She picked up her glass and drank a large mouthful of red wine. “How troublesome. Do I have to put on an act like this?”
They couldn’t help but look at each other. They were so careful that no one dared to say anything.
Jian Ai put away her expression and looked at Bai Zhou. “In short, the sooner the better. I’ll wait for your news.”
Bai Zhou didn’t dare to say anything and nodded obediently!
