"I remember now! The Noble Consort said a new Palace Maid was reporting for duty today. She has an extremely high Cultivation and is Your Highness's new Guard. Her name is also Bai He!"
"Yes, that's me," Yun Qinghe nodded.
"What did Mother send you here to do?" Lu Mingyuan asked suspiciously.
"To protect you, of course. Aren't you about to become the Crown Prince?"
Yun Qinghe said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
'Do I, in my current state, still need your protection?' Lu Mingyuan thought.
But on second thought, having another expert around was an extra layer of security. It was better than nothing.
The aura flowing around Yun Qinghe now showed that her Cultivation had improved again. He suspected she had already stepped into the Tenth Realm Nascent Soul.
Seeing the reluctant look on Yun Qinghe's face, Lu Mingyuan smiled. "You don't exactly look like you came here voluntarily."
"I couldn't refuse a certain someone's request."
Yun Qinghe sighed.
