Gu Xiaoyue arrived at the principal's office, knocked for three seconds, and then pushed the door open.

Charlie sat on Principal Zheng's sofa, and the two men in sunglasses stood beside him.

Principal Zheng still smiled and said to her, "Student Gu is here, please sit down."

Gu Xiaoyue nodded and sat down in the seat farthest from Charlie.

"You all know each other, so I won't introduce you."

Principal Zheng laughed, "Lord Howard was just playing a joke on you, please don't mind it!"

If Gu Xiaoyue still doesn’t understand at this point, she is a fool.

I'm afraid this exchange student Charlie has already investigated her.

Gu Xiaoyue's life was originally relatively simple, with Nanya, home, the Beast Tamer Association and Hualian Department Store as her only three points of residence.

Wait for her on the road that must be passed through these points, and you will definitely meet her.

So Charlie set up a simple trap for her to test her skills.

No wonder she always felt a little strange but couldn't put her finger on it.

Gu Xiaoyue had no expression on her face and did not reply.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Charlie apologized directly to Gu Xiaoyue, “I’m sorry, Yue, my father is worried about me, so he specially arranged a bodyguard for me.

So I made a bet with him that if you could beat them easily, he would not interfere with me anymore.

I hire you as my personal bodyguard, OK?"

Gu Xiaoyue still didn't answer. He felt so bad about being framed. His impression of Charlie had hit rock bottom.

“Lord Howard will stay in Dragon Country for seven months and will also participate in the national competition. This is the agreement signed between Dragon Country and the British Empire.

Mr. Gu, why don’t you listen to the treatment of this private bodyguard——"

Principal Zheng was cheering on the sidelines.

"Ten million star coins a month."

Charlie said with some pride, as if the price was very high.

"I reject."

Not to mention that Gu Xiaoyue only has more than 6 billion star coins in her mind. Even if it is the national team's subsidy of 20 million a month, she doesn't need to be a bodyguard for others for 10 million.

"Then 20 million should be enough."

Charlie immediately increased the bet, but he was a little surprised that Gu Xiaoyue immediately refused.

His two quasi-legendary bodyguards only earn 80 million star coins a year.

Gu Xiaoyue ignored him and saluted to Principal Zheng. "Nothing else, Principal, I'm going to training first."

After saying that, she stood up and left, but after taking two steps, she was stopped by Charlie.

"Wait, two more stalks of Frost Star Grass!"

The pupils of Charlie's two bodyguards were shocked—the young master actually took two cold star grasses as a reward!

Gu Xiaoyue stopped when she heard this. She seemed to understand why Charlie was so obsessed with powerful bodyguards.

"How do I pay, boss?"

She turned back and sat across from Charlie.

Gu Xiaoyue could refuse the star coins, but she couldn't refuse the spiritual plants that made her stronger.

What's more, Hanxing Grass has not appeared on the market for a long time.

Even the Phantom Lotus can be estimated at 3.5 million star coins, but the price of the Frost Star Grass cannot even be estimated.

Yinglong and Huo are now lower in level than Xiaoqi, but in a few months they will reach the late sixth level of maturity, and Gu Xiaoyue promised to give them the Huanpo Lotus.

After the absorption, their level will be the same as Xiaoqi's. Gu Xiaoyue can't guarantee whether they will still be controlled by Xiaoqi at that time.

The Hanxing Grass can be given to Xiaoqi to suppress them all the time. She must have it.

Charlie was also sweating, two stalks of cold star grass were the limit of what he could give.

If he still can't take down Gu Xiaoyue, he will have no other bargaining chips.

"I will give you one now, and I will give you another one in seven months."

Charlie drew a summoning circle, and a small grass with blue flowers appeared in his hand.

The cold star grass looks somewhat similar to baby's breath, but its flowers glow like broken stars, and it is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary.

“For these seven months, I will not interfere with your work.

But you have to take me with you no matter what you do and keep me safe.

When I leave safely, I will give you both the star coins and the cold star grass."

The two parties reached a verbal agreement, and Charlie handed the Hanxing Grass to Gu Xiaoyue.

The two bodyguards saluted Charlie and withdrew.

Gu Xiaoyue took him to the training ground. She wanted to find Chu Li and Shui Lingyu to practice summoning skills.

Previously, Qingqing and the two fire phoenixes were fed with more spiritual dew, which greatly improved their training progress.

Chu Li’s Fire Phoenix summoning skill has reached mastery, and Shui Lingyu’s has also reached the advanced level.

Gu Xiaoyue introduced Charlie to them, "This is our new exchange student in Nanya—Charlie Howard, also my boss.

These two are Shui Lingyu, who is ranked first on the battle strength list, and Chu Li, my classmate."

"boss?"

Chu Li and Shui Lingyu both had strange expressions on their faces. They had used star coins before to ask Gu Xiaoyue to accompany them in training their skills. Could this exchange student have any bad intentions?

"Well, Yue will be my personal bodyguard from today on."

Charlie shrugged, and said to Chu Li and Shui Lingyu generously, "You guys train, don't worry about me."

After saying that, he walked to the corner of the training ground, took out the teapot and teacup from the beast taming space, and drank tea elegantly.

"Xiao Yue, what's going on?"

Chu Li frowned, looking aggrieved.

How can I put it? Gu Xiaoyue held her forehead with her hand, "I wanted to refuse, but he offered too much!"

She told Chu Li and Shui Lingyu everything about Charlie wanting her to be his personal bodyguard and was willing to use two plants of Hanxing grass as a reward.

"Hanxing Grass? Is it true?"

Chu Li was a little bit unconvinced, and Shui Lingyu's expression was also a bit solemn.

The two of them were considered to be young masters of aristocratic families with good backgrounds in Long Country, and there was no news about the Hanxing Grass, but Charlie was able to produce two of them!

Gu Xiaoyue thought for a moment, "There must be something else going on. I'll ask him later when it's convenient. He has already given me the first one."

She didn't even dare to say that when the cold star grass entered the beast taming space, the eyes of her pets were all sparkling.

His mouth was almost watering, it was a pity that his level was not suitable for using it, otherwise he would have asked for it long ago.

Gu Xiaoyue, Chu Lishui and Lingyu practiced summoning skills for the whole afternoon, while Charlie sat beside them drinking tea and reading a book.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, and his tall figure seemed to be shrouded in a golden halo, making it impossible to look away.

Ye Wanrou also came to the training ground to find Gu Xiaoyue. When she heard that Gu Xiaoyue was Charlie's personal bodyguard, she suggested taking Charlie out for a big meal.

"Will Lord Howard do me the honour?"

Ye Wanrou gave Charlie a standard British curtsy.

"Oh! No gentleman would refuse a lady's invitation!"

He held up Ye Wanrou's hand and kissed it lightly.

For a moment, Chen Yixuan's alarm bells also sounded. Now it was not just Chu Li and Shui Lingyu who felt a sense of crisis.

After the big meal, everyone went back to the dormitory to rest. Gu Xiaoyue walked towards her dormitory as usual, but was stopped by Charlie.

"Yue, have you forgotten? You are my personal bodyguard!"

Wait, does the private bodyguard need to protect at night too?
