Quick Travel: When the host of Meimeijiao is bound to the birth system

A new set of tables and chairs has recently been placed under the big tree in the yard.

Whenever Qi Yunxiao felt bored staying in the house, he would go to the yard and sit in the shade of the big tree, enjoying the cool breeze while writing and drawing.

Now that Shen Yao had arrived, he asked her to sit down and rest first while he went to make her a cup of tea.

Xichun took the job and said, "Let me do it."

Shen Yao raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yunxiao, "Let Xichun go, Mochuan you stay, I just want to say something to you."

Qi Yunxiao understood: "Yeah."

The sun was not very strong in the morning. Sitting under the shade of the trees, with cool breeze blowing, my heart could not help but become calm.

As soon as Shen Yao opened her mouth, she asked with concern: "Are you used to living here?"

Qi Yunxiao replied: "It's nice and quiet here. Usually, no one comes here except the servants who deliver medicine and food."

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, feeling that there was something... intriguing in his words.

She smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if no one disturbed you? It would also be more conducive for you to recover from your injuries and recall the past."

Qi Yunxiao was silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Yao said again: "If you feel that this is too boring, I can also send someone to stay here with you every day."

Qi Yunxiao was silent again.

A breeze blew by, ruffling Shen Yao's hair a little. Qi Yunxiao's eyes stayed on her face. After a moment, he spoke in a low voice, "When can I take up the post? I mean... the guard thing."

Shen Yao rested her elbows on the table, holding her cheek, and looked at him strangely: "Why are you in such a hurry to take office? Aren't your injuries not healed yet? By the way, speaking of this, will the doctor come over to give you acupuncture later? I heard Ling Su mention this today."

Qi Yunxiao grasped the key point and said, "That's why you came here."

Shen Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone was so light that it seemed as if it was there and not there: "Yes, that's why I remembered to come over... to see you."

Qi Yunxiao's voice lowered a few notches: "Yeah."

Shen Yao pretended not to notice anything and told him what she wanted to say: "After a while, I will have to bring you to my parents. You may have to pass my father's assessment before you can officially take up the position of my bodyguard. Do you accept this?"

Qi Yunxiao had actually anticipated this happening. How could a duty like that of a bodyguard, which involves closely protecting the master's safety, not involve careful screening, background checks, and assessments of armed emergency response capabilities?

"I accept it of course," he said calmly.

Shen Yao: "That's good. I hope you can prepare well. My father... is not easy to fool. But you don't have to be too nervous. I will definitely speak for you when the time comes."

Hearing this, Qi Yunxiao showed his first smile of the day on his face. Although it was very faint, Shen Yao saw it with her sharp eyes.

"I want to know, how can you speak up for me?" he suddenly asked with interest.

Shen Yao choked, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. Uh...well, she hasn't thought about this yet.

"Hmm?" Qi Yunxiao continued to ask, but did not intend to skip this topic.

Shen Yao had no choice but to think quickly and said, "When the time comes...when the time comes I will praise you as much as I can in front of my dad, then..."

Qi Yunxiao: "Oh? What's good about me?"

Shen Yao:! ! !

Is he now the host?

"Mo Chuan, you asked too many questions today," she reminded.

Qi Yunxiao's expression was somewhat innocent: "I'm too stupid, I didn't quite understand what the lady said, so I asked a few more questions. After all, you are the only one who can answer my questions right now, right?"

Shen Yao pursed her lips and was about to speak when Xichun came over with the tea ready.

"Miss, Guard Mo doesn't have the scented tea you usually like to drink, so I made some loose tea."

As Xichun spoke, he poured tea for Shen Yao, and then poured a cup for Mo Chuan, "Guard Mo, this tea is very light, you should be able to drink some."

Qi Yunxiao lowered his eyes: "Thank you."

The tea was quite hot, Shen Yao did not move, just glanced at the sun, thought of something, and said to Xichun: "It's still early, Xichun, go to the kitchen and ask them to make some nourishing soup and send it here at lunch time."

Xichun was stunned: "Miss, should I go over and give the order now? Yuezhu should be here soon after she finishes her work, how about I wait until she arrives before going over?"

She couldn't leave the young lady here alone.

Shen Yao smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't need anyone to serve me for the time being. You can go over now. After all, it takes time to make the tonic soup."

Xichun nodded as if she understood, and said, "Okay, miss. I'll go right away."

When she walked out of the courtyard gate, she didn't know what happened to her, and for some reason she closed the door.

After turning it off, she finally reacted:?

What is she doing?

So she opened the door again.

Shen Yao heard the door closing and opening, looked over there, and happened to meet Xichun's eyes. She asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xichun shook his head: "It's okay."

Then he closed the door.

Xichun:......

Forget it, just keep him locked up like this. After all, Guard Mo shouldn’t dare to do anything in front of the young lady.

The yard soon returned to silence, leaving only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops.

The tea on the table had cooled down a bit. Shen Yao picked up the cup and took a sip. She said to Qi Yunxiao, "Come on, let's continue the topic we were talking about."

Qi Yunxiao raised his eyes to look at her. His gaze lingered for a moment on her red lips that were soaked by tea. Then he said, "Do you usually talk to other guards like this?"

Shen Yao didn't understand: "What?"

Qi Yunxiao said calmly: "Close the door and be alone."

Shen Yao smiled and said, "Of course not, why are you asking this?"

Qi Yunxiao looked unpredictable: "Nothing."

Shen Yao: "Since it's nothing, let me continue to tell you about my father's standards for assessing guards."

Qi Yunxiao: “Yeah.”

Next, Shen Yao briefly told him about some of the basic duties and division of labor of the guards in his courtyard, including but not limited to daily standing guard, patrolling, and close protection when going out. If there is any special emergency, it is a taboo to ignore the safety of the master.

"So, force and loyalty are the key points of my father's assessment, and loyalty is the most important among them."

Qi Yunxiao understood this point. If it were him, he would definitely follow this principle when selecting people.

"When my father tests someone's strength, he usually just exchanges a few moves. As long as you can withstand his moves and have good reaction ability, it's almost enough."

"Assessing loyalty is a little more troublesome. He will lock the person up in a dark, closed room alone, have him stay there for a full day and night, and then release him to have a private conversation."

"That's all I know for now, Mo Chuan. Listen to what I'm saying. Are you sure? If you find it difficult, you don't have to force yourself. There are many ways to repay a favor. You don't have to be my bodyguard."

Qi Yunxiao picked up the tea and took a sip, then said calmly, "It's not difficult at all. This is my own choice."

Shen Yao said, "Oh," and asked curiously, "So you...really don't plan to ask for the monthly allowance? The Marquis' Mansion doesn't lack that little monthly allowance, but you...may need it."

Qi Yunxiao moved his fingertips, tapped the rim of the cup and said with a smile: "No need."

Shen Yao pursed her lips, thinking to herself, he's so broke and yet he's making excuses?

Forget it, at worst she could find a reason to give him some rewards from time to time, after all she was a kind person.

The system also bubbled up at this time, and said in a whimpering voice: "Host, the Lord God is so miserable. I can't bear to see him so poor that I want to donate a few taels of silver to him."

Shen Yao: It seems she is not the only one who is kind.

Although she thought so, the words that came to her lips were: "Well, if you really don't want to, I won't force you."

Qi Yunxiao: “Yeah.”
