Chapter 2572 Be sure to protect their safety!
"Ouch, I was so scared~"
The moment Jiujiu finished speaking, a strange sound came from the cabinet, and then the cabinet door was opened, and a man in a black robe slowly walked out.
The other person was estimated to be around thirty years old, handsome, with medium-length black hair draped over his shoulders, giving him the air of a martial arts hero.
After the man walked out of the closet, he stretched and did some simple movements before saying with a smile, "You, my partner, don't seem to have much ability. You couldn't even detect my existence, and you still call yourself a genius?"
Hearing this, Jiujiu just looked at him quietly. After about a minute, she whispered, "He discovered you, so he let me go alone. Otherwise, he would definitely take me with him."
The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "No way? I don't think he noticed me. He gave me the feeling... like he was a little dull. And I hid it so well. You must be worrying too much. He definitely doesn't know me. Ouch, every muscle in my body hurts."
After the man finished speaking, he made some strange movements, and from time to time he looked at Jiujiu who was sitting on the chair and said, "Jiujiu, why do you trust that human warrior so much? I think he is just so-so, and he is not as handsome as me. If you want to find a partner, humans are also..."
call out!
Before the man finished speaking, a knife flew out of Jiujiu's hand, brushed past the man's neck almost in 0.01 seconds, and then stabbed heavily into the cabinet door behind him.
This situation startled the man. He touched his neck and then saw the green liquid in his hand. He smiled helplessly and said, "Jiujiu, you're too quick. Aren't you afraid that I'll attack you if you do this?"
"Then don't talk nonsense." Jiujiu frowned slightly. "I asked you to come here only to ask you to help Ling Tian, not to ask you to question my behavior. He trusts me, and I can't let him down. So you have to hide in the dark and protect them both."
"what?!"
The man sat cross-legged with a helpless look on his face. He then looked at Jiujiu with a pleading look in his eyes as he said, "Jiujiu, I'm a peak-level demon beast after all. You want me to be... how do you say it in human language? A bodyguard? You want me to be a bodyguard?"
"Is there a problem?" Jiujiu stared at the man. "Do you really think you're strong enough to have a foothold in the capital? If you want to make your own way, I won't stop you, but I have to warn you, that matter... time is running out. This year at most, understand?"
"I know, I know." The man nodded. "You, you, since leaving Central City, you still..."
"If you dare mention my past again, I will definitely kill you." Jiujiu warned in a low voice, causing the man to react quickly. He covered his mouth and chuckled, "I know, oh, really, you didn't even let me talk about your handsome moments back then, really..."
"I don't want to hear it." Jiujiu frowned. "Alright, from today on, you will stay with Ling Tian and the others and protect them. If their lives are threatened, you can help them. Otherwise... you don't have to worry about it."
"Row."
The man nodded, slowly stood up, and walked to the door of the room. He stopped again, turned to look at Jiujiu, and said, "Jiujiu, if... that thing happens, what will you and that human do? You're helping so much now, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to do it later?"
"In my eyes..." Jiujiu raised his head, staring intently at the man, and said, "Our mission is the most important. So if one day I find myself standing against Ling Tian, I will never show mercy. Every move I make will...hit his vital points!"
"Hahaha, you're good at human linguistics. Since you've said all that, I believe you can probably do it. So... I wish you all the best!"
As soon as the words fell, the man disappeared, and Jiujiu looked up at the ceiling and murmured, "Mutual... trust?"
……
On the other side, not long after Ling Tian left the hotel, he sensed the familiar aura around him.
Thinking that the one following him at this moment should be the existence he had just sensed in Jiujiu's room, Ling Tian did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he looked at Lin Qi on the side and said, "Lin Qi, I want to go to the warrior gathering place mentioned by the front desk. Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing this, Lin Qi shook his head: "I won't go, big brother, I want to have a good rest, and if I'm not there, big brother won't be afraid to act, so... big brother, I want to go back first."
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Ling Tian smiled helplessly: "Okay, since you want to go back, I won't keep you here. You go back and rest first. I'll go for a walk and see if I can gather any useful information."
"Okay big brother!"
Lin Qi agreed after hearing this, then said goodbye to Ling Tian and walked away.
On the other hand, Ling Tian looked around and then walked in the direction of the warrior gathering place in his memory.
At the same time, the man following Ling Tian and Lin Qi was hiding not far away. Seeing the two of them go their separate ways, he didn't know who to follow for a moment.
Just as he was thinking about following Ling Tian, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him. Before he turned around, he felt a cold touch on his neck.
The sudden change made the man stunned for a moment. He slowly lowered his head and found that a long sword was against his neck. If he moved forward one centimeter, his head would fall off.
He noticed this and was instantly startled, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only whisper, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"
"Oh?"
A puzzled voice came from behind, "You've been following us, haven't you? I should be the one asking you this. Tell me, who are you? Why are you following us?"
"Are you Ling Tian?" The man paused after hearing the other party's words, and said hurriedly: "I am Jiujiu's friend, and I am here to protect you. Before..."
"It's happened in the hotel room before, I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the feeling on his neck disappeared. The man turned around in surprise and found that Ling Tian was staring at him.
Their eyes met, and the man touched his neck, also slightly surprised.
He knew that although his normal perception was not outstanding, he should be able to sense a peak Saint Realm warrior, but... he didn't even notice when Ling Tian appeared behind him.
Moreover, he didn't expect that what Jiujiu said was right, Ling Tian really knew that he was in the hotel room before.
At this moment, the man was extremely curious about Ling Tian. After a moment's thought, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Ling Tian, right? You... are really interesting! Are you interested in chatting? Hmm? Aren't you curious... about the relationship between Jiujiu and me?"
