Chapter 2233 - Is Your Place Convenient? (2/2)

“Mm, I’ll escort you home,” Zhao Manyan said.

——

Zhao Manyan helped Sancha as they walked through the Central Plaza. A man in a jacket came up to them in a panic.

“Miss Sancha, are you alright? I didn’t receive the signal from you!” the man exclaimed.

“I’m fine, I turned it off by accident. I didn’t want it to disturb me while I was enjoying the concert,” Sancha replied smoothly.

“Oh, that’s great… you must be Lecturer Zhao Yanzu, I was in your patrol class!” the man said with a smile.

“Aren’t you the guy who destroyed the fields of a village?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in surprise.

“Yes, that was my bad. Actually, I’m Miss Sancha’s bodyguard. I know you are a powerful Mage, so I didn’t follow you two very closely. Miss Sancha prefers to have some personal space,” the student said sincerely.

“You are dismissed,” Sancha waved her hand. She did not want to talk too much with the bodyguard.

“Understood, about the concert…”

“I don’t want you to utter nonsense in front of my father,” Sancha glared at him.

“Understood. Either way, I should thank Lecturer Zhao Yanzu for his help,” the student agreed promptly.

——

Zhao Manyan fell into deep thought as he watched the student leave.

He still had no clue what the student was up to. Was he using the identity of a bodyguard to hide his affiliation with the Black Vatican? Or was he pretending to be a bodyguard to approach Sancha?…

After all, Zhao Manyan had yet to see him do anything suspicious, except for destroying the fields that had been planted with Frenzy Poppies to get rid of the evidence.

“If he’s a bodyguard, he should be stronger than he seems if he’s disguising himself as a student. I wonder what level he is in the Black Vatican,” Zhao Manyan mumbled to himself.

“Do you feel like you are being watched? If you are uncomfortable with it…” Sancha said apologetically after she noticed the frown on Zhao Manyan’s face.

“I don’t mind it ,since I enjoyed my time with you. That being said, your bodyguard is a little slow to react. Those people might have turned the concert hall into an enclosed cage, but it took him so long just to arrive. I’m not sure if he’s a capable bodyguard,” Zhao Manyan warned her.

“I should really thank you,” Sancha forced a smile.

“You don’t have to. If you really want to repay my kindness, you may perform a piece for me. I believe your skills are on par with the masters who perform on stage. I might be able to forget the unpleasant stuff today if I can enjoy your performance alone,” Zhao Manyan suggested.

“Where should we go then?”

“Is your place convenient?”

“Mm… sure,” Sancha nodded after a slight hesitation.

Zhao Manyan remained calm on the surface, but the song of victory was already playing in his heart!

He should thank the martyrs for lending him a hand to speed up his progress!
