The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 219 Offer Myself (1)_1
Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Offer Myself (1)_1
He, as a person, had survived among many members, his intelligence, cunning, and responsiveness were all very formidable. When he found out that the chip in his brain truly no longer existed, he felt a surge of joy and release in his heart.
However, before he had too long to rejoice, he thought of the organization that had controlled him for over ten years, and the methods it employed against traitors. There was no tolerance for betrayal in the organization, and he could already foresee the Leader’s rage upon learning of his defection and the orders that would follow. What lay ahead for him was relentless pursuit until death.
Although his abilities were among the top three in the organization, or even the very best, which was why the Leader had personally changed the plan for him to undertake this important mission at the last minute, even he was not confident that he could withstand the organization’s relentless pursuit.
He also knew that to escape the organization’s pursuit, he would need to rely on someone powerful. His intuition told him that this petite girl before him, as beautiful as a celestial being, would be his lifelong support and redemption.
Moreover, since he believed Situ Xin had saved his life, he decisively spoke up, telling her that he wanted to follow and protect her for the rest of his life.
After hearing the man’s words, Situ Xin swallowed the refusal she was about to voice. She didn’t respond to the man but fell into deep thought herself.
She knew that keeping this man might mean inviting trouble, perhaps even facing off against the underground organization because of him. Situ Xin wasn’t afraid of the organization; with her own abilities, she was more than a match for an underground organization. However, Situ Xin detested trouble. She felt it wasn’t worth it for a stranger.
But then she thought, if she didn’t offer refuge to this man, he would certainly be hunted by the underground organization, and all the Spiritual Energy she had spent would have been wasted.
Situ Xin couldn’t help but sigh, torn inside.
Baibai, seeing her master so conflicted, couldn’t help but roll its eyes and said to Situ Xin, "Master, is it worth getting this worked up over something so trivial? I think since the guy is willing to stay, you might as well accept him. You’ve been short on capable hands, and from what I’ve seen, this guy has potential. Just heal the chronic injuries he’s had for years and give him some training; he should be a decent subordinate." Baibai knew that because of her master’s young age, many things were restricted. Now that someone was offering themselves, it would be a sin not to take advantage of it.
At first, Situ Xin wanted to scold Baibai for the first part of its statement, but upon hearing the rest, she also felt it made sense. In recent years, apart from the people from Dragon Society, she indeed lacked capable subordinates by her side. Situ Xin then thought about investigating the underground organization to gauge its strength.
Now, with that man here, she could simply ask him directly.
While Situ Xin and Baibai were discussing, the man’s heart was anxious, unsure what fate awaited him.
Situ Xin’s eyes swirled around before she nodded, showing her agreement with Baibai’s suggestion. Just as Situ Xin was about to speak to the man, Baibai spoke to stop her, "Master, wait a moment." "What else is there?" Situ Xin never thought Baibai could be so troublesome. She looked at Baibai rather irritably.
"Oh master, don’t rush, I’m just looking out for you. Aren’t you afraid that if you accept this person as your subordinate, he might harbor ill will towards you?" Baibai spoke leisurely.
"All right, just say what you need to," Situ Xin urged, glancing at her wristwatch. She had neither the patience nor the time for a drawn-out conversation with Baibai.
"Yes, yes, master, I’ll get straight to it," seeing that her master was truly impatient, Baibai stopped beating around the bush. "I have a Loyalty Spell, also known as a Master-Servant Spell." Hearing this, Situ Xin frowned. She didn’t want to control someone using unsavory methods like those underground organizations did.
Baibai, noticing Situ Xin’s thoughts, quickly explained, "Oh, master, don’t worry, the Loyalty Spell isn’t anything wicked. The person under the spell won’t suffer any harm from it. It only activates when that person intends to betray their master. At that moment, the Loyalty Spell will erase all their memories related to their master and all the Cultivation Techniques they learned from them."
"There’s such a spell?" Situ Xin found Baibai’s explanation interesting and quite practical upon hearing about the Loyalty Spell.
And Situ Xin immediately made up her mind. She asked the anxious man, "What’s your name?"
Upon hearing Situ Xin’s question, the man felt a surge of hope, realizing she was considering accepting him. "I don’t have a name. I was an orphan and lived in an orphanage until the organization came to pick people. I was chosen to join the training. When I was finally kept by the organization, they gave me a code name, Gu Ying."
Listening to Gu Ying’s story, an unusual feeling passed through Situ Xin’s heart because his experience was too similar to her own past life. However, she was luckier than Gu Ying; she had been reborn, and in this life, she had a family and loved ones who cherished her. She was truly happy.
Situ Xin composed her emotions and said, "I don’t mind you following me. However, before that, I need to place a Loyalty Spell on you. Rest assured, this spell won’t harm you in the slightest, nor will it limit your freedom. As long as you leave me in the future without mentioning my affairs or my secrets, there won’t be any issues. But if you harbor any malice towards me, or if you think about betraying me, that’s when the Loyalty Spell activates. It will wipe all memories of me from your brain, including everything you’ve learned from me." As Situ Xin spoke, her eyes never left Gu Ying; she wanted to gauge his reaction. "Consider it."
"There’s no need to consider. I accept," Gu Ying declared without any hesitation.
