After instructing the butler, Zhan Chi quickly followed.<\/p>\n

Hearing Long Ting say to Chu Jiu, \u201cI told you not to follow,\u201d he heard her<\/p>\n

reply, \u201cI must protect Master\u2019s safety,\u201d<\/p>\n

Chu Jiu said firmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cChu Jiu, please don\u2019t call me Master anymore, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung Master,\u201d<\/p>\n

Long Ting stopped, turning to glare at her.<\/p>\n

Chu Jiu also stopped, maintaining a two-meter distance from Long Ting, her expression respectful, her dark eyes flashing with determination.<\/p>\n

Even with the young master\u2019s glare, she didn\u2019t back down. The old man had said she would follow the young master for life, protecting him and preventing him from getting hurt.<\/p>\n

She meant that as long as she was there, the young master would be there; even if she were gone, he would still live well.<\/p>\n

In a critical moment, she would give her all, even her own life, to give the young master a chance to survive.<\/p>\n

This was a promise she had made to the old man, and she had to keep it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrother Ting, Ninth Sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Chi noticed something was wrong and quickly ran over, standing between the two to block Long Ting\u2019s gaze from Chu Jiu. He smiled and said to Long Ting, \u201cBrother Ting, my Ninth Sister is just worried about your safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s used to putting you first, used to always being by your side. If you\u2019re out of her sight, she worries and gets nervous. That\u2019s just how she is, you know that. Don\u2019t be angry with my Ninth Sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then turned to Chu Jiu, \u201cNinth Sister, you care about Brother Ting, and Brother Ting cares about you and feels sorry for you. You said you insisted on standing outside in this sweltering heat, refusing even a glass of water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told you to rest, but you wouldn\u2019t listen. Brother Ting is worried about you being tired, hot, and thirsty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chu Jiu said, \u201cI don\u2019t want the young master to worry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of daring or not. You and Brother Ting grew up together, have been together for eighteen years, and are already like family. It\u2019s only natural.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the young master\u2019s bodyguard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Chi: \u201c\u2026Ninth Sister, is this the only thing you keep saying?\u201d
\nNo wonder she drove Brother Ting crazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the young master\u2019s bodyguard!\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Chi: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cZhan Chi, ignore her, let her do whatever she wants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long Ting turned to leave, not forgetting to call Zhan Chi along.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet her follow me if she wants, let her die of heat, let her die of exhaustion if she refuses to rest, let her die of thirst if she doesn\u2019t drink water, let\u2019s see who feels sorry for her. I don\u2019t feel sorry for her, I don\u2019t feel sorry for her at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Chi wanted to say a few words to Chu Jiu, but didn\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n

He quickly caught up with Long Ting, who had a long stride, while he jogged, saying as he ran, \u201cBrother Ting, that\u2019s just Sister Jiu\u2019s temperament, don\u2019t be angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long Ting said sternly, \u201cI\u2019m not angry, she doesn\u2019t have the ability to make me angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I see that every time you get angry, it\u2019s because of Sister Jiu, and your good temper turns into a bad temper when you\u2019re with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long Ting glared at Zhan Chi, \u201cZhan Chi, what\u2019s wrong with your eyes? You\u2019re mistaken, I didn\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t speak properly, then don\u2019t speak at all. Go back and read more books, learn how others organize their words.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Chi laughed, \u201cYes, yes, I\u2019m bad at speaking, my eyesight is bad, I\u2019m mistaken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brother Ting was utterly helpless with Sister Jiu as his stubborn and rigid bodyguard.<\/p>\n

If it weren\u2019t for that, sometimes he would also be unable to stand it, and would go crazy.<\/p>\n

Did the deceased divine physician take advantage of Chu Jiu\u2019s persistence, which is why he picked her up and raised her by Long Ting\u2019s side?<\/p>\n

Because of Chu Jiu\u2019s persistence, she would be loyal to Long Ting for life.<\/p>\n

The legendary healer was worried about his grand-disciple, but unfortunately, he wouldn\u2019t live to be 150 and watch his grand-disciple avenge his family.<\/p>\n

All he could do was arrange a loyal companion for his grand-disciple to accompany him in his business endeavors, seeking revenge and settling the blood feud.<\/p>\n
