Chapter 288 - 285 Jade Water City
On the official road to Jade Water Lake, three riders on Green Flame Ghost-faced Colts sped like lightning. In the middle was a chubby-faced young man, flanked left and right by two guardians, their eyes vigilant.
Perhaps due to prolonged racing, the young man’s face showed a trace of fatigue he could hardly conceal. Riding fast on a Green Flame Ghost-faced Colt, even with exceptional riding skills, would be a painful ordeal, let alone his very poor riding ability.
"Protector Liu, let’s rest for a while before we continue," said the young man in a white long shirt, which, had it not been for the dust from the journey, might identify him as a handsome youth.
"Young Master, we are still far away from the family’s secret sentries’ range for support. We must not be careless. We can only ensure your safety once we escort you within the range of our family’s sentries," persuaded Protector Liu.
"Protector Liu, is it really that dangerous? There can’t be so many bad people in the world, right? Who would have a reason to harm me without a grudge?" the young master in white said.
"Ah!"
Protector Liu sighed, the young master’s nature was incredibly gentle, and he treated them so well, a blessing to all the family’s servants. But in the family’s struggle for power, this very gentleness was a disadvantage; the young master was simply too kind.
"Young Master, have you forgotten the accident three years ago? And that night last year, you almost..."
"Third Master said it wasn’t an accident, right?"
"Young Master, how many accidents can there be in this world? This year’s Jade God ceremony is crucial for the family’s legacy. The old master has specifically instructed in his letter to be extremely cautious, as someone might target you," said Protector Liu.
