In the evening, he had dinner with Ying Shiyi again. After the meal, Lou Jingyu also asked someone to prepare some fruit.

The washed peaches are pink and tender, with a few drops of crystal water on the skin. They are cut into small pieces and placed in a jade bowl, looking sweet and delicious. You can smell the fragrance of peaches when you get close. There are also a few washed and pitted plums and apricots.

Seeing that Ying Shiyi didn't move, Lou Jingyu smiled and used his slender white fingertips to bring the peach piece to Ying Shiyi's mouth.

"Eleven, you don't want to eat? Don't you want to do it yourself? Then how about I feed you?" Lou Jingyu wanted to tease her, and he really wanted to do that.

"No... no need, I'll do it myself." Ying Shiyi didn't dare to ask him to condescend to her, and was even more reluctant to do so, so he could only pick up an apricot and put it into his mouth.

Fortunately, the apricots are ripe, the flesh is golden, and the taste is moderately sour and sweet, and acceptable.

If you grimace in anger because of jealousy, it would be really disrespectful in front of your master.

"Eat some more peaches. Eating too many apricots and plums is bad for your stomach."

Lou Jingyu gave careful instructions, and Ying Shiyi obediently ate two more peaches.

Ying Shiyi felt like sitting on pins and needles. He didn't want to overstep the line but had to listen to Lou Jingyu. He did almost everything Lou Jingyu said. After eating two peaches, he stopped moving.

The peach blossom eyes that were usually clear and cold were now soft and innocent in front of Lou Jingyu. He was unaware of this, and his eyes were full of the words: Master, is there anything you need me to do? I really want to work for you~

I can't stay idle for a moment.

Lou Jingyu laughed, knowing that he was too nervous in front of him, so he said something else to distract him, "The Ji brothers and sisters who bullied you yesterday have been crippled by me and thrown back to the Ji family. No one can bully you in the future. If anyone dares, tell me and I will vent our Xiao Eleven's anger."

"Master..." Ying Shiyi's eyes suddenly widened. These words implied preference and cherishment. He felt excited just by hearing them. He didn't want to think about whether the words were true or not, nor did he want to know whether this was just a whim of his master. He wanted to kneel down and thank him immediately.

He was stopped by Lou Jingyu again. He thought Ying Shiyi was a little fool. He was so moved by just a few words and believed it without even verifying it. How could he be so stupid?

Then I thought, isn't he just stupid? Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to save me after being abandoned in his previous life. There is no one more stupid than him in the world.

"The Ji family will have nothing to do with my Chiyang Sect from now on. If you meet them in the future, you don't have to be nice to them." Although the notice had already been passed down, Lou Jingyu still explained it to Ying Shiyi in person.

Ying Shiyi nodded naturally. The Ji family had evil ambitions and actually wanted to murder their master. They deserved to die a thousand times. If he met them, he would be lucky if he didn't skin them alive.

"Okay, I will obey you, Master!"

Thinking of the mission again, Ying Shiyi said, "Master, I have accepted a mission and will set off tomorrow. Do you have any other instructions for me to do?"

task?

Lou Jingyu didn't expect him to go out so soon, but seeing Ying Shiyi eager to try and show his skills, he didn't want to stop him. He suppressed his reluctance and worry and just repeatedly reminded him: "Be careful, your safety is the most important."

Ying Eleven didn't understand this. When a shadow guard went on a mission, his goal was naturally to complete the mission successfully, and his own safety was disregarded. This was the concept that Ying Eleven had accepted since he was a child.

But he didn't want to refuse his master's kindness, so he agreed verbally.

Since he had to go on a mission, Lou Jingyu didn't keep him any longer. After giving him a few more instructions, he let him go back and rest early. He was thinking about how to coax him to live in Canglan Palace as soon as possible.

The residence where Yingwei lives is too simple. When Lou Jingyu went to see it yesterday, he felt so distressed and was reluctant to let Ying Shiyi live there for too long.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the servant say that Jiang Yan was coming.

"Master, you said that Ying Eleven would notify you whenever he performs a mission in the future. Now he has accepted the mission and will set off tomorrow." Jiang Yan reported conscientiously.

Lou Jingyu glared at him and said, "It would be faster for Eleven to tell me in person than to hear it from you."

What use do you want!

Seeing that Lou Jingyu didn't say anything, Jiang Yan boldly looked up, but met his cold gaze and lowered his head even lower in fear.

"Okay, come report earlier next time." Ying Shiyi had just left, and Lou Jingyu was still in a good mood, so he didn't want to punish him.

"Ying San, Ying Si." He called the two out again, "Meet your commander. This time I will go with Ying Eleven. Find a place closest to the mission site so that I can stay there."

This means to protect it secretly.

"Master, you can't do that! You are the leader of a sect, you don't need to take action, it's really against the rules. Ying Shiyi is just a small shadow guard, why do you have to care so much..."

Jiang Yan's first reaction was to advise, but he gradually became silent under Lou Jingyu's chilling gaze, and in the end he only said, "As you command."

Ying San was also dumbfounded. He had only heard that the master needed the shadow guards to secretly protect him when he traveled, but he had never heard that the shadow guards needed the master to secretly accompany him when he was on a mission.

It's unheard of! Unseen!

His eyes widened in surprise, and he came to his senses after being kicked by Ying Si. He hurriedly went to get people to prepare the carriage.

The next day, not long after Ying Shiyi left the Chiyang Sect, Lou Jingyu also went down the mountain and rested in the inn closest to the mission location, waiting for Ying Shiyi to complete the mission before leaving secretly.

He didn't want to clip Ying Shiyi's wings. His little Eleven was still so young, and his only wish was to be by his side and do things for him. Naturally, he had to fulfill his wish.

However, the separation of life and death in his previous life made him extremely worried, so he could only protect her secretly like this to feel at ease. The inn was not far from the mission location, and if anything really happened, he would be able to react immediately and rescue her.

He really didn't want Eleven to get hurt again.

----

In this remote place, the food in the inn was very ordinary. Lou Jingyu was thinking about something and didn't eat much for dinner.

The mission that Ying Shiyi accepted this time was related to the Ji family. Now that the Chiyang Sect and the Ji family have broken up and their previous cooperation has also been severed, some interests are bound to be redistributed, and bloodshed is bound to occur.

For some reason, Lou Jingyu felt a little uneasy, probably because this had never happened in his previous life. In his previous life, he directly wiped out the Ji family.

He knew that this life was different from his previous life. From the moment he was reborn and made the first decision that was different from his previous life, the direction of many things would be different. He only hoped to protect Eleven in this world full of vanity.

That's all.

The waiting process was long. Before I knew it, a night had passed. The sky was still dark, but I could vaguely hear the crowing of chickens from the farmers' houses in the distance. I estimated that dawn would soon be here.

"Master, Ying Eleven has completed the mission, but..." Ying San observed Lou Jingyu's face suddenly becoming serious and was afraid to say the rest of the words.

"What's wrong!" Lou Jingyu frowned and urged him to speak quickly.

"He was injured," Ying San added, "but it was a minor injury."

Well, although it seems like a serious injury to ordinary people, it is indeed a minor injury to the shadow guard, so he is right.
