"I've said it before, I'm saving her. I think Lu Shibo will inevitably target Xiao Lu sooner or later. That's why I often interacted with Lu Jing, promoted her to be a green-clothed maid, and most importantly, sent her to the Northern Archipelago, far away from Lu Shibo's clutches." Lu Sizhou spoke slowly.
"You've always treated her like a disposable tool for your missions, haven't you? It was like that before, and it's still the same now." Xu Yang shook his head.
"I can't help it. Right now, I'm Lu Jing's umbrella of protection. If I fall, she's doomed as well. So, Lu Jing has to serve me—it's only fair. Lu Shibo won't allow Lu Jing to live peacefully or investigate her parents' deaths. Even Lu Kanyan's death served as a warning to others. Since then, no one has dared to publicly say something like, 'Lu Shibo only got this far because of the Dragon Gate Mansion's power.'" Lu Sizhou's voice turned cold.
