Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Protecting You is My Duty!_1

After the grand and solemn engagement feast had concluded, on the second day, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing took the Shen Family, as well as Jiang Hua, Wu Haishan, and Gao Lingfeng, on a tour of the famous sites of Capital City.

On the third day, the Shen Family and Jiang Hua took a chartered flight back to Suzhou.

Shen Tianxing stayed behind in the Capital City to resolve matters related to the Ning Family and told Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia that she had to stay temporarily in the Capital City until her affairs were dealt with, and then she would return home.

Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia, knowing their precious daughter to be a decisive person, admonished her to be careful and to stay safe, and they allowed her to go.

On Dugu Zixi’s side, the investigation had also made progress, pointing directly at the Ning Family.

That night, Old Master Dugu, the Elder Madam, along with Dugu Jun’an, Ye Ningning, and both Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing gathered in the study to discuss.

When Old Master Dugu asked Shen Tianxing what grudges she held against the Ning Family, Shen Tianxing did not hide the truth from them.

She frankly revealed her own origins, including being regarded as a monster by the Ning Family due to her Heavenly Eye, and everything related to the ancient prophecy about being born with the destiny of the phoenix.

She had originally considered not speaking of the Heavenly Eye, but then thought that there are no secrets that cannot be revealed; as long as the Dugu Family thoroughly investigated the matter, they would inevitably uncover that she was born with a third eye and was abandoned by the Ning Family as a monster.

If she concealed it now and the Dugu Family uncovered it later, they would definitely think she did not trust them and would have second thoughts about her.

Trust between people is always mutual.

The matter of her having the Heavenly Eye could not be concealed, so her only choice was to be open about it.

She also believed that people in the Dugu Family were astute; since she was to marry into the Dugu Family, it would only be to their benefit without any downsides, so they would not harm her.

Of course, she would also guard against any unforeseen circumstances and strive to become even stronger.

To avoid being manipulated or hurt by others, one must be powerful, and powerful enough to deter others from harboring any designs against them.

Just like the supreme beings of the Fairy Realm like Hongjun the Ancestor, the Immortal Emperor, and her master from her previous life, these powerhouses of the Fairy Realm, who didn’t know they possessed countless top-tier treasures enviable to many, yet who dared to harbor any designs against them?

Now that she and Dugu Zixi had been reborn in this Mortal World and were starting from scratch without having struck out in full force, these villains dared to cause trouble.

If she and Dugu Zixi were awe-inspiring and executed a few "chickens" to deter those with ulterior motives, it’s likely these people would think twice before targeting her again, weighing whether they could bear the consequences.

With this in mind, Shen Tianxing silently resolved to no longer hide her true strength.

She would strive to quickly establish her reputation so that those who would do her harm would hear her name and tremble, not daring to overstep.

After listening to Shen Tianxing’s life story, the Dugu Family members were both shocked and felt sorry and distressed for her.

Old Master Dugu sneered and said, "It seems the Ning Family is blind, mistaking pearls for fish eyes and holding fish eyes as pearls, truly foolish."

The Elder Madam also snorted coldly, "They will live to regret this."

Ye Ningning held Shen Tianxing’s hand, comforting her, "Xiaoxing, don’t be upset over those villains; we’ll cherish you from now on."

Dugu Jun’an also added, "That’s right, Xiaoxing, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell us, and we’ll back you up."

Shen Tianxing, touched by their support and deep affection, nodded repeatedly, "Good, if anyone dares to bully me, I’ll turn to Grandpa, Grandma, and my parents for support."

Dugu Zixi held her hand with dissatisfaction and reminded her, "There’s also me, have you forgotten your fiancé?"

Shen Tianxing laughed, "Yes, yes, there’s you."

The childlike jealousy of Dugu Zixi amused everyone, eliciting hearty laughter from the group.

After everyone finished laughing, Dugu Zixi, with a serious tone, said, "We can almost confirm now that the assassins who targeted Xiaoxing a few days ago were hired by the Ning Family! Xiaoxing, you shouldn’t show yourself in this matter, let us handle it, okay?"

Shen Tianxing also knew that he didn’t want her to be smeared with blood, nor did he want her to carry the burden of being accused of killing her relatives in the future, so he took the matter into his own hands.

How could she have the heart to refuse his kindness? So she nodded, "Okay, then I’ll trouble you with it."

Dugu Zixi wrapped his arm around her shoulder with a smile and said, "Protecting you is my responsibility!"

The elder of the Dugu Family, seeing the intimate scene between the young couple, waved his hand and said, "Then let Zixi handle this matter. If there’s nothing else, we should head back to our rooms to rest."

The old lady of the Dugu Family, Dugu Jun’an, and Ye Ningning also got up, smiling as they waved at Shen Tianxing before leaving the space to the two of them.

Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing didn’t linger in the study but instead, hand in hand, returned to Dugu Zixi’s room.

Only then did the two of them embrace and flash into the space together.

Once inside the space, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing discussed how to deal with the Ning Family and how to eliminate the international assassin organization, Black Thorn.

After they arranged everything and set the time for action, an hour had already passed.

Both Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing felt the importance of regaining their cultivation levels and, in tacit agreement, chose to cultivate.

That night, with his memories from past lives restored, Dugu Zixi advanced several levels and directly broke through into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Shen Tianxing was also happy for him, embracing him with a laugh, "Xixi, you’re amazing! I guess it won’t be long before you catch up to me."

Dugu Zixi said earnestly, "I have to surpass you in the shortest time possible, otherwise, I would be embarrassed to talk about protecting you."

Shen Tianxing giggled, "No worries, it’s the same if I protect you."

Dugu Zixi gave her a glance and, with his machismo, said domineeringly, "Protecting women is a man’s duty; how can I let you protect me? Wouldn’t that make people laugh at Dugu Zixi for being incompetent?"

Looking at his proud and spoiled demeanor, Shen Tianxing laughed so hard she couldn’t stand it. "Alright, alright, from now on you protect me, and I won’t do anything. I’ll just follow you and enjoy life, how about that?"

Dugu Zixi nodded with mock seriousness, "That’s more like it!"

When day broke, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing exited the space and appeared in Dugu Zixi’s room.

A clean-up operation targeting the illegal activities of the Ning and Cao Families was about to begin.

Unaware of the imminent disaster, the Ning Family and Ning Fengyi were still at home scheming on how to kill Shen Tianxing to pave the way for Ning Fengyi’s rise.

As they were getting carried away in their conversation, fantasizing about the glory days after Ning Fengyi’s ascension, members of a special task force dressed in plainclothes, carrying search and arrest warrants, broke into the Ning and Cao Family residences.
