“The master needs to enhance his strength,” the man explained after considering for a moment.
Wang Jinhe frowned, “But Su Yu is already very powerful.”
Even with Su Yu being so powerful, master still needed to enhance his strength. Judging by the man’s demeanor, the places Su Yu went to must not be safe.
“Miss, in the future, you will encounter more things. The master’s current strength and the strength of those around him are too weak. If things continue like this, he won’t be able to protect you and the young master,” the man explained. While Su Yu was undoubtedly powerful in the eyes of others, for them, Su Yu had high internal strength but couldn’t fully utilize it.
The master’s goal was to ensure that Su Yu could use his full strength and control the potential loss of control in his temperament.
“What kind of things will we encounter?” Wang Jinhe furrowed her brow, not quite understanding his meaning.
“Miss, now yours and the master’s identities are different. The outside world is much more complicated than you think, and you will encounter many things. Only by continuously becoming stronger can you survive better,” the man replied. While they could protect everyone, there were still moments of error. Madam’s must be prepared, however, master must be even more prepared.
Miss was too naive, sharing a similarity with the master—both tended to leave room for themselves.
This would bring them a lot of trouble.
“…,” Wang Jinhe remained silent, her brows slightly furrowed.
She figured it was already too late to refuse since Su Yu had already gone. It might be better to wait until he returned and discuss it with him.
“Thank you for your recent troubles,” Wang Jinhe thanked the man.
“Protecting Miss is our responsibility.”
The master’s wife and child had passed away many years ago, and now his only family was Miss’s family and her son. Naturally, they had to protect them.
“Miss, you take the two young masters back first. I will handle this person,” the man said Wang Jinhe.
Once Wang Jinhe left, the man turned to look at the frozen figure of Wu Xinlin.
“Our Miss is not someone you can desire,” he said to Wu Xinlin. Even Su Yu had taken a long time to be fully acknowledged by his Master.
Their master was exceptional, and compared to him, this person in front of them was nothing.
“You are just… a servant, you…”
The man smiled slightly, a smile that sent shivers down Wu Xinlin’s spine. “Wu Xinlin, our master’s identity is something you can’t even dream of. Our Miss is also a rare gem among people. Here’s a piece of advice: don’t come looking for our Miss again, or you will find suffering worse than death.”
Wu Xinlin was startled by the man and instinctively took a step back.
Seeing the man suddenly disappear, Wu Xinlin knew that there was indeed a certain gap between him and Wang Jinhe.
His hands clenched into fists, and he couldn’t help but think of Qian Mingsen’s words.
As long as he left with him, he would be the young master of the Qian family.
Did this person dare to treat him like this just because his status was not as high as Su Yu’s?
If his strength also increased, would he have the power to contend?
Wu Xinlin looked at Wang Jinhe with a firm gaze. Regardless of the man’s intentions, he would not give up this opportunity; Wang Jinhe was bound to be his.
As long as he got Wang Jinhe, he would have everything. Such opportunities were rare, and he would not let it slip away.
Wu Xinlin returned home and found Qian Mingsen: “I agree to go back to the Qian family with you.”
Qian Mingsen thought it would take some time to convince Wu Xinlin, but to his surprise, he agreed to everything after a short trip outside.
“Good, that’s my good son.” Qian Mingsen said joyfully.
Seeing Qian Mingsen’s happy expression, Wu Xinlin frowned and said, “Don’t be too happy too soon. I can agree to go back with you, but I have a condition.”
“Oh? What’s your condition? Tell me.” Qian Mingsen suddenly became interested and wanted to know what Wu Xinlin wanted.
“I want Wang Jinhe, and I want Wang Jingyu to kneel down and apologize to me.” Wu Xinlin said with a fierce expression.
Wang Jingyu looked down on him time and time again, preferring to help others rather than him. Since that’s the case, let him regret it and pay the price he deserves.
Isn’t he so arrogant? If he were to kneel and apologize in front of him, would he just collapse?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Qian Mingsen frowned. Making Wang Jingyu kneel and apologize to Wu Xinlin was a bit tricky.
Seeing Qian Mingsen frown, Wu Xinlin asked, “Can’t you make this happen?”
“If you want Wang Jinhe, I can help you, but making Wang Jingyu kneel and apologize is unlikely,” Qian Mingsen said, looking at him.
“Wang Jingyu is a scholar. If we do this, it will only bring trouble to us. Besides, their family is connected to the county magistrate and the governor. As long as they complain to the governor, whether your identity as a scholar can be preserved is uncertain,” Qian Mingsen said thoughtfully.
“And be careful with the matter of Wang Jinhe too; don’t act recklessly,” Qian Mingsen added seriously. His success so far was due to his cautious and careful approach to things.
Although he wanted his son to go back, if his child’s return would bring a catastrophic crisis to the Qian family, he would rather not let his child go back.
“You…” Wu Xinlin was speechless. He didn’t expect this person to say such things.
“Xinlin, if you want to get involved with them, you must be cautious. You’ve been around them for a long time; you should know that these people are not ordinary. Acting recklessly won’t just fail to get you what you want, but it will also bring trouble to yourself,” Qian Mingsen said sternly.
“A little restraint in the present leads to a successful grand strategy. What you need to do now is to pass the imperial examinations and become an official. Only by gradually wielding power in your own hands can you have the capital to contend with others,” Qian Mingsen said, soothingly looking at Wu Xinlin.
Although Wu Xinlin was very dissatisfied with this, he still took it in.
Thinking about the person who warned him today, that person frightened him more than Su Yu and Wang Jingyu.
As Qian Mingsen said, Wang Jinhe’s current status was beyond his reach. If he acted too rashly, he might even lose what he currently possessed.
“Don’t worry; I’ll get you a good teacher to teach you. It will help you smoothly pass the imperial examinations. Once your scope widens, you will realize that what you have now is actually nothing,” just like he once thought that the Wu family was his best destination.
It wasn’t until he met the then Young Miss Qian that he realized he could have something even better.
“Why settle in this poor and remote place when you can have a better life? Xinlin, you think Wang Jinhe is good now, but once you pass the imperial examinations and become an official, you’ll see how vast the outside world is. By then, even marrying a young lady from a big family won’t be impossible,” Qian Mingsen’s words made Wu Xinlin somewhat intrigued. Is it really like that?
Note: The Guard refers to Wang Jinhe as Miss because he is from the Yu family’s side.
