Supernatural Insight Eyes

"Hehe, sorry, got a bit too urgent there. I'm getting up, I'm getting up."

Ye Qiu immediately withdrew his hands, chuckled awkwardly, and then got to his feet.

When the glass shattered all of a sudden, Ye Qiu realized the danger and instinctively protected the three ladies with his arms.

After standing up, Ye Qiu held his head high and stood straight in front of everyone, looking completely composed, like a transcendent being! There wasn't the slightest hint of embarrassment for his earlier indiscretion.

Are you kidding, he had just saved lives.

"Haha, impressed by me, aren't you?" Seeing the three women staring straight at him, Ye Qiu's heart brimmed with pride and silent laughter; he had merely shown off a little.

However, after what had just happened, Ye Qiu realized that protecting Miss Shen was no small trouble. The enemy had even used firearms, a tactic too extreme. He had to deal with it soon, eliminate the mastermind behind the assassination attempt, or else they might strike unexpectedly again, catching you off guard.

Shen Mengchen was extremely annoyed by Lin Feng's smug look, and the thought of being protected by Ye Qiu moments earlier made her even more infuriated. Even if there had been danger, what had just occurred was unforgivable.

Shangguan Hong was a bit more rational, recognizing the situation as exceptional and not blaming Ye Qiu.

"Miss, are you all right?" After checking Shen Mengchen for injuries and seeing none, Liu Bo finally relaxed, continuing to say, "Miss, you must never be careless. We owe a lot to Young Master Ye this time. I can't even imagine what might have happened otherwise."

Liu Bo was still a bit shaken, appalled that someone would attempt an assassination. It was too brazen; he had to reinforce their security, ensuring that nothing like this would happen again.

Liu Bo mentioned Ye Qiu's merit to naturally influence him to stay, to prevent Shen Mengchen from getting upset, and this incident provided a convenient opportunity. It would now be difficult for Shen Mengchen to keep pushing Ye Qiu away.

Hearing Liu Bo's words, Shen Mengchen snapped back to reality, and seeing Ye Qiu's still lofty demeanor, she hmphed and said, "I know, I know, I won't drive him away."

She indeed had been quite scared a moment ago and admitted to herself that Ye Qiu had played a role in their safety.

At her words, Ye Qiu felt stirred, thinking they had finally recognized his abilities. But before he could gloat, Shen Mengchen added, "Letting him stay is fine, but I want a one-month trial period. If he doesn't satisfy me within this month, I'll still find a way to send him off."

"Sure, sure, sure." Liu Bo laughed complacently on Ye Qiu's behalf and gave him a meaningful look. In his heart, he was convinced that as long as Ye Qiu stayed, he wouldn't disappoint.

After all, Ye Qiu was the disciple of that particular master.

"Wow, now our Goddess Apartment will have an extra man, someone to protect Yinyin!" Niu Yinyin cheered delightedly, welcoming Ye Qiu, the new member of their residence.

Shen Mengchen pinched Yinyin's cheek hard, "Look how happy you are!" she exclaimed, surprised at how quickly Yinyin had accepted Ye Qiu.

"Miss, such an incident won't happen again. I'll have guards be vigilant at all times," Liu Bo said. He was worried; now that the enemy had been so bold, he feared the unseen foes might become even more outrageous. With that thought, he turned to Ye Qiu, saying, "Young Master Ye, from now on, the miss's safety is in your hands."

Ye Qiu nodded with a smile.

Since no excuse remained to send Ye Qiu away for the time being, Shen Mengchen agreed to let him stay, addressing him, "Stubble Man, do you agree to a one-month trial period?"

"Hehe, no problem, at least I can guarantee that no one will be able to hurt you within this month," Ye Qiu said indifferently, his eyes exuding a strong sense of confidence that left Shen Mengchen briefly stunned. She then turned her head away, displaying a touch of displeasure.

"In that case, I won't disturb the young ladies, Miss Shangguan, and Miss Yinyin from resting." Liu Bo prepared to leave and whispered a few words into Ye Qiu's ear before smiling and exiting the villa.

With Liu Bo gone, only Shen Mengchen, Shangguan Hong, Niu Yinyin, and Ye Qiu remained in the room.

"Ahem, Miss Shen, may I know where I will be staying?" Ye Qiu broke the brief silence. He was feeling somewhat tired, having not rested since sitting on the train. Even as a master, he couldn't withstand the lack of rest.

Shen Mengchen pointed casually and said, "There, that will be your room from now on."

Ye Qiu's gaze followed Shen Mengchen's delicate pointing finger to the room underneath the staircase on the first floor, and he was immediately taken aback, nearly bursting into a curse, "You're seriously letting me stay there? Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

Seeing Ye Qiu about to shake his head, Shen Mengchen spoke first, "During the probation period, that's what you get. If you pass the probation, I might consider giving you a better room."

Ye Qiu couldn't be bothered to continue to argue with Shen Mengchen over this matter. After all, with a million to be had for a month, it didn't matter where he stayed. Back in the day, he had lived in places a thousand times worse than this and still survived; a bed would be enough.

Considering the money, Ye Qiu chose to forgive this unreasonable and willful young lady.

Ye Qiu waved to the three of them and, without looking back, headed to the storage room. With a 'snap,' the door closed tightly behind him, leaving only Shen Mengchen and the other two in the large hall on the first floor.

He agreed?

Shen Mengchen hadn't expected Ye Qiu to agree without protest and just move in. Didn't that room have been left uncleaned for such a long time? Wasn't he disgusted by how dirty it was?

Never mind, what did it matter to her? Since he was willing to move in, she would just let him be.

Shen Mengchen shook her head, feeling perhaps she was too kind. She turned to Shangguan Hong and said, "Sister Shangguan, you saw it. It's not that I didn't want to get rid of that guy. Who knew he would actually have some skill? How about we keep him for observation for a while?"

Shangguan Hong gave Shen Mengchen a glance. With Shen Mengchen saying this to her, Shangguan Hong naturally understood that the girl was looking for a way to save face. After all, Shen Mengchen had been insistently calling for Ye Qiu's removal, yet in the end, he was allowed to stay for the time being.

She didn't point out Shen Mengchen's scheme and said, "Then let's keep him for observation for the time being."

"I'm tired, going upstairs to rest," Shangguan Hong said, rubbing her shoulders and picking up the book in her hand before climbing the stairs.

"Um... Yinyin, about..."

"Don't ask me, Niu Bao is tired too." Niu Yinyin had no interest in listening to Shen Mengchen's ramblings and scurried away, leaving Shen Mengchen stamping her feet in frustration.

Ye Qiu entered the storage room and was instantly dumbfounded at first sight!

So it turns out this place only had one big trunk. How was he supposed to sleep?
