Divine Doctor Dragon Master

Shen Yuerong pouted. "Grandpa! I really don't want to travel with him. It's enough to have Steward Xiao accompany me. Who needs him? Steward Xiao is much more capable than he is!"

Shen Tianrong's expression darkened. "Yuerong! Be obedient!"

Shen Yuerong huffed indignantly and glared at Qin Jiang, her face full of displeasure.

She couldn't care less about this conceited guy!

Qin Jiang didn't bother arguing with her but looked towards Shen Tianrong and took a deep breath. "Elder Mr. Shen! When I go to report to the Martial Arts Department, as for my mother, if it's convenient for you, please look after her."

"Understood," Shen Tianrong said with a smile.

Back at home, she found Wen Wenling and Xu Muge already chatting leisurely.

His heart was filled with myriad doubts, and he wanted to ask Wen Wenling, but, in the end, he held back.

Who exactly saved Wen Wenling?

And who had resolved the crisis for Qin Sisi?

Could it be the same person?

However, since Wen Wenling chose to keep it a secret from him, it proved that the person had their own difficulties.

He could only pretend to be unaware of it.

Knowing that the two of them were secretly protecting them, he felt much more at ease.

Shen Family.

Shen Yuerong looked displeased. "Grandpa! You know how much I despise that guy. Why did you still make me travel with him? I really can't stand it!"

Shen Tianrong sighed. "Yuerong, grandpa has his own plans; just listen to me!"

"This time, too many people are involved, and every move is extremely dangerous! It's not just me, not just Qin Jiang; even your brother Ye is deeply mired in it!"

"Steward Xiao, this time, I am counting on you."

Steward Xiao nodded, his seemingly calm eyes flashing with sharpness, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely complete the task you have entrusted to me."

Jiangcheng University.

Inside a faculty dormitory.

Qin Sisi emerged.

Beside her stood a young and beautiful woman, none other than Mu Siting.

"Mrs. Mu, I really appreciate your tutoring over this period. I've learned a lot."

Mu Siting smiled faintly, "Sisi, you are a motivated girl. I saw my younger self in you, and that's why I helped you. I hope you can achieve something in this field in the future."

Qin Sisi felt moved. "Thank you, Mrs. Mu! I will work hard!"

"Alright, let's go," Mu Siting said with a smile. "By the way, let's visit an art exhibition another day. My teacher is having a birthday banquet in a few days, and I want to give him a gift."

"He likes landscape paintings and such. Sisi, from your manner of speaking, you don't seem like you're from an ordinary family. Have you seen any good paintings or calligraphy at home?"

Qin Sisi paused, "Landscape paintings? I haven't seen much of that… I think I saw some when I was a child."

"However, that was a long time ago. That painting was supposed to be a family heirloom of our Qin Family, but it's been taken away by my second uncle's family; it has nothing to do with us now."

"No one in our family really has a passion for those things."

Mu Siting smiled faintly, "No matter, I was just asking casually."

After saying goodbye to her, Qin Sisi went downstairs.

However, just as she descended the stairs, she noticed a figure hurriedly flash by and hide at the bottom of the staircase.

"Liang Jianyu! You dead pervert, are you stalking me again?" Qin Sisi was livid with rage, yelling out loud.

From around the corner, a face with a mischievous smile appeared, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was just passing by…"

Qin Sisi stomped down the stairs, irritated. "Why don't you do something productive and keep stalking me all day? Don't you feel like a creep?"

Liang Jianyu chuckled, "I was truly just passing by. Besides, we're good friends, aren't we? Even if I were stalking you, it would only be to protect you!"

Qin Sisi retorted coolly, "Protect me? Where were you when I was getting hurt? You always say you like me… but I haven't seen any effort from you!"

Qin Sisi turned and walked away.

Liang Jianyu stood silently in place, smiling bitterly, and in the end, didn't follow her.

Qin Sisi felt dejected.

Liang Jianyu was one of her more persistent suitors, having chased her from freshman year to junior year. Although he had never expressed his feelings, it was clear as day to anyone with eyes that he liked her.

The problem was he never made a confession.

And she couldn't just reject him.

She felt nothing for someone who only made verbal commitments.

After Qin Sisi left, Liang Jianyu collected himself and climbed the stairs, knocking on Mu Siting's door.

Mu Siting frowned, peering through the peephole to see it was Liang Jianyu. She let out a derisive snort, composed herself, and opened the door, "Classmate Liang, what do you need from me?"

Yet, Liang Jianyu smiled and said, "Mrs. Mu, it's surprising that we've never met and yet you know my name. You truly are well-informed."

Mu Siting quickly caught on and spoke with scornful jest, "Of course. Sisi's mentioned you. She said there are many bootlickers harassing her and making her sick of it. Gu Baifeng is one, and you're another."

"Pity that she's not into you, so you may as well stop wasting your effort."

"In her eyes, you're just a worthless bootlicker…"

Liang Jianyu wasn't angry, just stared straight at Mu Siting, "Mrs. Mu, you really remind me of someone I know."

Mu Siting scoffed, "What? Since you can't win over Sisi, you want to use this cliché on me? Teachers aren't that easy to chase, you know. I have no respect for those furiously impotent losers!"

Liang Jianyu laughed, "Furiously impotent losers… what a familiar tone… If I recall correctly, someone said the exact same words to me two years ago."

He slowly lifted his shirt to reveal a glaring scar on his abdomen, "Mrs. Mu, do you remember this scar?"

Mu Siting's face changed drastically, and she clenched her fists, barely controlling her emotions.

"It seems you're aware," Liang Jianyu said with a smile. "Your brother's stab wound almost cost me my life…"

Mu Siting sneered, "Liang Jianyu, I really don't understand what you're babbling about."
