This is really not a good job. He really doesn't want to do it. Being a guard seems to have a higher status. As the guard of the Ninth Princess, his status rises. It means that he can be said to be a third-rank official in front of the prime minister. But he didn't do it.
The chances of being a disciple of the Palace Master are great.
In the Dianqian Division, as long as you perform enough meritorious deeds, you can be promoted. If you accumulate great achievements one by one and reach the level of shaking the master, the commander of the Dianqian Division will use a trick to kill you or let you be promoted.
According to his observation, the commander is not so ruthless.
But being the guard of the Ninth Princess is different.
Everyone has several faces. Xue Luoyu had one face with him in the Forgetting Sword Club. After he became her bodyguard, he must have another face. He needs to listen to her orders.
Although he started as an unqualified bodyguard, he was no longer used to being told what to do.
But this is the kindness of the Ninth Princess, so I have to accept it.
He could only lament the helplessness of life. No matter how strong his martial arts skills were, he could not be completely free and could not help himself. If he wanted to control the Yushi Palace, he could only be a good guard and support the Ninth Princess to go further.
Wen Yi smiled and said: "Brother Chu, you have won the trust of the Ninth Princess. This is a gratifying and congratulatory thing."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "There are male guards among the inner guards. Aren't the Ninth Princess afraid of others gossiping?"
"Talk about gossip?" Wen Yi was startled, then laughed and said: "Brother Chu, you really think too much. What kind of gossip will the guard and the ninth princess have?"
Chu Li said: "Men and women always have to avoid suspicion."
"Haha, Brother Chu, you are so funny." Wen Yi said with a smile: "What we in Tianwaitian pay attention to is that we are well-matched. People are different. The ninth princess will never treat us as men, only as guards. This
Don’t even think about it!”
Chu Li nodded slowly.
There are indeed some differences between the concepts of the outer world and the lower world. They are more conservative. Guards and masters can never come together. Unlike the lower world, although there are also class differences, because martial arts is respected, the class is not so strong.
It is evident that he, an unworthy bodyguard, can finally marry the third young lady of the Duke's palace. This kind of thing cannot happen in Tianwaitian, so he should not have any delusions about having a romantic relationship with the Ninth Princess.
Princess Ninth would never even think of this.
Chu Li said: "By the way, why does the Ninth Princess only use me as a male guard? It's still too few. Some things are more convenient for men to do. I will suggest to the Ninth Princess to find some more male guards, like Brother Wen.
.”
Wen Yi waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't!"
Chu Li looked at him puzzled.
He could see Wen Yi's envy and wanted to become the Ninth Princess's guard, so why did he refuse so eagerly?
Wen Yi sighed: "Brother Chu, if you mention it, I'm afraid I'll never hope to become the Ninth Princess's guard. Now, the Ninth Princess often has to work with the people in front of the palace as peripheral guards. I'm often ordered to protect the Ninth Princess."
"That's it!" Chu Li suddenly realized.
He could tell at once that Wen Yi was not envious of him becoming an inner guard, but admired the Ninth Princess.
But it's no wonder that the Ninth Princess is indeed very beautiful, and coupled with her high status and martial arts skills, she is indeed popular.
Wen Yi said: "Brother Chu, I would be very grateful if you could do your best to protect the Ninth Princess!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Brother Wen, don't worry."
Early the next morning, the drizzle had stopped, the sky cleared and the sun shone brightly.
After having breakfast, he left Drizzle City and came to the Rain Master's Palace. He came to an ordinary house in the south of the city and knocked on the door.
There were no guards in front of the red gate of the house, only two lifelike stone beasts. He did not recognize these stone beasts, which looked a bit more ferocious than lions.
The side door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man came out to hug his fists.
Chu Li clasped his fists: "I am guarding Chu Li in front of the lower hall, here to report to the Ninth Princess."
He saw that this middle-aged man was a super master.
A concierge is also a super master, and super masters are too worthless. It seems that the master of the Yushi Palace is very concerned about the safety of his daughter, otherwise he would never waste talents like this.
The middle-aged man said slowly: "The lady has given you instructions, please come in. The lady is waiting for you in the back garden. Come with me!"
Chu Li lowered his head and followed him inside.
After passing through the fourth courtyard, we came to the backyard and saw the Nine Princess Xue Luoyu on a lake.
Xue Luoyu was wearing an emerald green shirt and was playing the piano with his head down.
The sound of the piano was faint and clanking, with a hint of murderous sound.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, stepped onto the winding corridor, walked around a few times and came to a small pavilion, and stood in front of her.
"Zheng!" The sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
Xue Luoyu put down her snow-white jade hand, raised her head and looked at Chu Li, her bright eyes as bright as ice, looking at him quietly.
Chu Li clasped his fists: "I've met the Ninth Princess."
"No need to be polite." Xue Luoyu waved her jade hand gently and pointed to the opposite side.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "I can just stand and talk."
"Sit down!" Xue Luoyu hummed.
Chu Li smiled and sat opposite her.
Xue Luoyu looked him up and down and nodded: "I haven't seen him for a while. It seems that the study of the Book of Forgetting Love went smoothly."
Chu Li smiled and said: "The last time I left rashly, I failed to protect the Ninth Princess from coming back. I was derelict in my duty."
Xue Luoyu waved his jade hands and said: "When you come back, you only need to move in the void, and you don't need your protection. Are you going to the Guangming Paradise as a guest with Miss Sun?"
"Yes." Chu Li said.
Xue Luoyu chuckled and said: "Guard Chu, you have to work hard too, lest you become unworthy of Sun Mingyue and be forced to separate."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Once Sun Mingyue becomes the master of the Bright Realm in the future, his status is really not worthy of her. Even if no one forces the two to separate, the pressure of the world is a great force.
"It's actually very easy to be my guard." Xue Luoyu said, "I don't go out very often."
Chu Li nodded.
Xue Luoyu said: "But tell me the rules in advance. You will only protect my safety. You will only listen to and watch other things. Don't talk too much."
Chu Li nodded seriously.
He knew Xue Luoyu would change his face, and sure enough, he did.
Xue Luoyu said in a deep voice: "One more thing is that after becoming my guard, you will only obey my orders. You will not be able to follow the orders of everyone else, including the commander and the deputy palace master!"
Chu Li pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Don't worry, Miss."
"Very good." Xue Luoyu nodded lightly and said with satisfaction: "Chu Li, you are an extremely smart person. I don't need to say more about the rest."
Chu Li clasped his fists, stood up and took a step back to stand opposite her.
Xue Luoyu's eyes sparkled, he smiled, lowered his head and continued to play the piano.
Chu Li was calm and calm, his aura gradually weakened, and finally blended in with the surroundings, making him almost invisible.
Xue Luoyu felt this strange situation and became more and more satisfied with Chu Li.
She has thought carefully about Chu Li's use.
Chu Li is a sword, but it takes a lot of thinking to maximize its power. Although Chu Li is not a bad person, he cannot escape human nature. He still has to uphold his duties. He is a guard, not her friend.
Chu Li has no dissatisfaction with Xue Luoyu. It's just the thinking of a superior. Even though he is worse than her in martial arts, his status is far inferior. The relationship between the two is not friends, but a superior and subordinate relationship.
All she needs from him is loyalty and martial arts, nothing else. She may seem weak but is strong, and cannot tolerate others telling her what to do.
