Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other and then at Jian Ai with complicated expressions.
This was the first time they had seen the Sect Master show such an expression. From an assassin to an organization and then to the mastermind, how could this be easy?
However, the Sect Master’s expression was serious, and she was determined to eliminate this hidden threat for Bai Zhou.
Seeing this, Jian Ai said faintly, “You don’t have to look at me like that. If I didn’t have the identity of the ancient sect master, I would just be an ordinary person. But since I’ve accepted this identity, I have to be responsible for the ancient sect that has existed for a thousand years. Every one of you is willing to give up your lives for me. But like I’ve said it before. If I don’t want your lives, others can forget about taking any of your lives from me, even if it’s just a thought.”
“No matter what, live well. I won’t let go of those who are a threat to your lives, no matter who they are!”
Jian Ai’s tone was incomparably serious, but she could not resist the fear in her heart. She was afraid that something would happen to Bai Zhou.
Unknowingly, she had already treated Bai Zhou as someone very important in her life. After she was reborn, she had sworn to protect everyone she cared about, including the people from the ancient sect.
Therefore, at this moment, Jian Ai could only put away her ridiculous pity. Because pity for the enemy would only be exchanged for cruelty for her own people. If that was the case, she had to make a rational and decisive choice.
When Bai Zhou heard Jian Ai’s words, he could clearly feel the Sect Master’s concern for him and his life. He could not help but feel touched.
“Sect Master.” Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai with a comfortable smile on his handsome face. “Don’t worry, I won’t die easily!”
Chi Lian chimed in, “Don’t worry, Sect Master. As long as the other party dares to come, I’ll capture them alive.”
Xiao Zhen also said, “According to the Sect Master’s instructions, we will do our best to investigate and find the mastermind!”
Jian Ai looked at Chi Lian, Xiao Zhen, and Chi Yang. Thinking that Si Yue was still by her side, she felt much more at ease and nodded gently.
She changed the topic. “Quickly close the window. It’s already late autumn. We’re at thirty-odd floors now and it’s freezing!”
“I’ve already made a reservation. There will be workers coming tomorrow,” Bai Zhou said with a helpless smile.
Because there were no windows in the living room, Jian Ai and Xiao Zhen didn’t plan to stay for dinner and left Bai Zhou’s apartment together.
After coming out of the elevator, Jian Ai mentioned to Xiao Zhen about getting him to prepare the medicine.
“I’m not too sure about the details. I think what she needs now is medicine that can help her fall asleep quickly when she wants to rest. It has to be harmless to her body,” Jian Ai said.
Xiao Zhen thought for a moment and nodded gently. “No problem. When do you need it?”
“Tomorrow!” Jian Ai smiled in embarrassment. “Is it a little too rushed?”
“No, I’ll concoct it tonight and hand it to you tomorrow!” Xiao Zhen said expressionlessly.
After separating from Xiao Zhen, Jian Ai took a taxi back to North City.
It was already the fifth today. Jian Ai thought it would be Friday on the sixth of tomorrow. On Saturday, she and Yan Tian would set off to visit Qinghuan’s production team. She would be back that day because the eighth was Wang Yunzhong’s wedding.
