Chapter 149: What, you feel sorry for her?

Shi Lin originally wanted to ask Xiao Shitou, but from the moment they left home until they reached Feng Ji Private School, he never found a chance, so he asked Feng Qingyang.

He thought that even without saying it, Shi Lin could still discover it.

Feng Qingyang told him exactly as it was.

"You're talking about Shi Yun, right? He's the grandson of an old acquaintance of mine. The kid is good at everything except that he loves to cry. His family already came to me, and I didn't really refuse, so I let him study here with me."

"Later, I thought that Shi Jin, who follows Qiao Sheng, had gotten better than before, so I let her bring Shi Yun over to her as well, to see if she could change him."

He learned that this was the case.

Shi Lin fixed his gaze on Feng Qingyang and said, "Grandpa Feng, aren't you worried about overburdening Qiao Sheng…"

"What, you feel sorry for her?"

Feng Qingyang looked at Shi Lin with a bright smile.

Shi Lin's expression froze as he said, "Grandpa Feng, what are you talking nonsense about? Qiao Sheng is so fierce, I'd have to be out of my mind to feel sorry for her. I was just speaking off the cuff."

"Hmm."

Feng Qingyang replied with a nod, "I hadn't considered this before; Qiao Sheng really does have a hard time looking after several children. In that case, I'll have Shi Qi go help take care of Xiao Shitou and the others."

Shi Qi—Shi Lin naturally knew him.

When he heard that he was sending Shi Qi to help Qiao Sheng with Xiao Shitou and the others.

Shi Lin immediately objected.

"Grandpa Feng, sending Shi Qi might be unsuitable; his temperament means he can barely speak a few words in half a day, how could he look after children? In that case, my nephew Shi Jin is already with Qiao Sheng, so I'll have my two Dark Guards help Qiao Sheng take care of them."

Shi Qi can't look after children; does that mean his Dark Guard can?

He didn't know what kind of people those Dark Guards were.

Feng Qingyang replied to Shi Lin calmly and unhurriedly.

"Shi Lin, you're unaware of this. Shi Qi has interacted with Qiao Sheng a few times before, and now talks far more than before. That girl can truly change a person. If Shi Qi follows her and becomes more outgoing, that's not a bad thing. If they can end up together, that would be even better."

"What, end up together?"

"He—he wants to pair them up?"

Shi Lin frowned and said, "Qiao Sheng looks like that; can Shi Qi like her?"

"He said he wasn't feeling sorry for Qiao Sheng?"

"Since he doesn't feel sorry, why care about these things?"

Feng Qingyang laughed, "He didn't like her before; now it can't be said for sure."

Shi Lin felt inexplicably uneasy.

Seeing Feng Qingyang looking at him with a meaningfully deep smile, Shi Lin said, "Grandpa Feng, do as you wish; I've already decided to send two Dark Guards to Qiao Sheng. That way they can protect them and also help her with tasks; if she isn't that busy, she can properly take care of Shi Jin."

"Kid, getting impatient, huh!"

Feng Qingyang didn't expose him; he decided to wait and see.

Shi Lin went back and listed his ten Dark Guards on paper, from top to bottom, reviewing them again and again.

Dark Guard One has decent Lightness Skill, his sword techniques are also good, but he's careless in tasks and loves to sleep. He'll sit if he can, never stand; if he can lie down, he'll never sit.

Dark Guard Two also has good Lightness Skill and sword techniques, but he's a chronic lost‑direction type; after walking only a short distance, he can't find the way.

Dark Guard Three excels at using Concealed Weapons; he's mute, and they usually communicate with him by writing.

Dark Guard Four excels at disguise, his Lightness Skill is decent, but he's vain—whenever he goes somewhere he brings a mirror, and he looks at himself ten times a day, maybe seven or eight.

Dark Guard Five is blind; his eyesight is poor, but his hearing is remarkably good, and he usually works together with Dark Guard Eight on missions.
