Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Even the child Ying Huai could tell that the woman named Ying Jing was already angry. Her dark pupils seemed to glow with two ghostly flames, as if she wanted to burn Xu Xingguang to ashes.

Ying Huai secretly tugged on Xu Xingguang’s sleeve, whispering, ”Sister Xingguang, quickly apologize to her.” The old madam had instructed him to get along well with Xu Xingguang. Someday, when they went to the Divine Martial Realm, with Xu Xingguang’s protection, perhaps he could avoid some bullying.

But.

They hadn’t even gone to the Divine Martial Realm yet, and Sister Xingguang had already offended the escort. What were they going to do?

Xu Xingguang pressed down on Ying Huai’s head with one hand, ”Shut up.”

Ying Huai inwardly bemoaned.

”Xu Xingguang.” Ying Jing suspected that Xu Xingguang still hadn’t grasped the situation.

She reminded Xu Xingguang, ”I know you are the Lady Captain of the Huo Family, and I acknowledge that you do have some skills. But do you know that once you’re in the Divine Martial Realm, you are merely a little medicine boy in my Ying Family?”

”Don’t even mention me, even a mere steward in the medicine field could easily eradicate you.” She wore a contemptuous expression, ”You probably don’t yet realize that the laws of the Divine Martial Realm protect superpower users. Mundane individuals without super abilities, if killed, are nothing significant, not much of a crime.”

With these words from Ying Jing, everyone except Xu Xingguang turned grave.

They were aware that the Divine Martial Realm consisted of high-ranking individuals and guessed that once they arrived, there would be no human rights. But they hadn’t expected that even mundane individuals in the Divine Martial Realm also lacked human rights.

Ying Jing continued, ”Your Ying Family sends a few students to the Divine Martial Realm every decade, but over the years, how many have truly returned to the Ying Family?”

”Heh.” Ying Jing laughed, unfathomably, ”Do you really think they were kept by the Ying Family due to outstanding performance, to serve the Ying Family?”

The expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.

Ying Huai secretly tugged on Xu Xingguang’s sleeve, looking up at her, ”Sister Xingguang, what does she mean by that?” The youth’s expression was hard to conceal his sorrow, ”Could it be that those seniors were all killed?”

Ying Jing glanced at Ying Huai, just smiling.

Then she leisurely looked towards Xu Xingguang again, anticipating Xu Xingguang’s reaction.

To Ying Jing’s surprise, Xu Xingguang remained calm and unperturbed, which annoyed Ying Jing.

Xu Xingguang lowered her gaze to Ying Huai and said, ”She’s trying to scare you.”

Ying Huai was doubtful.

Xu Xingguang calmly looked at Ying Jing and pointed out, ”You people from the Divine Martial Realm have always seen us as garbage. The fact that the Ying Family sent you to the Mortal World to guide us shows that you are also not of importance.”

Ying Jing’s face suddenly turned dejected and irritable.

Xu Xingguang further commented, ”You are just an insignificant being. Even if I were to kill you right now, making you the first escort from the Ying Family to die in the Mortal World, what could the Ying Family do to me?”

”Trust me.” Xu Xingguang said sincerely, ”Even if I really killed you, neither the Ying Family nor the Divine Martial Realm would deliberately trouble us because of your death.” If they could easily destroy the Mortal World, why wait until today?

Ying Jing hadn’t expected Xu Xingguang to accurately assess her status within the Ying Family.

Just as Xu Xingguang analyzed, only the least talented and least valued clan disciples are sent to the Mortal World to receive students in the Ying Family.

Because in their eyes, the Mortal World is always seen as a contaminated and dirty place, going there is an adventure.

Talented disciples are never willing to go to the Mortal World.

This time, after receiving this task, Ying Jing even specifically consulted the previous guide. The former senior said this: [The Mortal World Ying Family sees us as gods, speaking and acting with extreme respect. It was my first time receiving such high treatment.]

With the senior’s words, Ying Jing was no longer anxious.

She arrived in the Mortal World last night, and the Old Madam Ying and those old folks from the Ying Family looked at her as if they were seeing a deity.

Ying Jing initially thought she could flaunt her authority in the Mortal World this time, but who knew that Xu Xingguang could see through her situation and status in the Divine Martial Realm at a glance.

Ying Jing sneered, ”Xu Xingguang, is it? I’ll remember you.”

Be as arrogant as you like.

Once we reach the Divine Martial Realm, it won’t be up to you to decide what happens.

Ying Jing stood up, with a skin-deep smile, ”Xu Xingguang, Ying Huai, Ying Zhongmei, congratulations on earning the qualification to study at the Medicine King Tower!” With that, she took out three badges from her pocket and handed them to them.
