Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Wholeheartedly Wanting to Protect Her_1

"Mm-hmm, I won’t be shy."

Shen Tianxing, under the warm hospitality of the Dugu family, had eaten until her little stomach was stretched, and the evening ended perfectly amidst everyone’s laughter.

Dugu Zixi brewed tea for everyone again, chatting with Shen Tianxing and her grandparents, parents, as they casually brought up some of Shen Tianxing’s matters.

Since Shen Tianxing had chosen to come to Capital City with Dugu Zixi, she had no intention of continuing to hide her family’s situation.

She roughly explained her family’s situation to the Dugu family and sincerely invited them to visit the Shen Family’s ecological estate whenever they were free.

The elder Mr. Dugu and his wife, now both retired, were idle and had nothing to do. Upon hearing Shen Tianxing’s invitation, both elders immediately responded with a laugh, "Sure, once we’ve made arrangements, we’ll go visit your ecological estate and take the opportunity to meet your parents and elders."

While they were chatting merrily, Li Ming and his father, Li Hetong, who had scheduled to pick up Shen Tianxing at eight o’clock, arrived to pick her up at seven fifty.

The Li Family and the Dugu Family both resided in the Imperial Compound, though the Dugu Family, with their higher status and influence, lived deeper within.

The Li Family was a bit closer to the outskirts, but the distance between the two families wasn’t far, only about a kilometer or so.

Yesterday, while chatting with his family, Dugu Zixi had mentioned that Shen Tianxing would have dinner at their home today and would later attend to General Li’s medical needs.

Elder Mr. Dugu and General Li had fought on the battlefield together and always maintained a strong friendship. Hearing that Shen Tianxing was willing to come over to treat General Li, the old man was also very pleased.

Now that the family saw Li Ming and his father, Li Hetong, arriving, they understood that Shen Tianxing was heading to the Li Family to see General Li.

Both families were already on good terms, so everyone greeted each other with smiles.

Shen Tianxing also subtly took a moment to observe Li Ming and his father.

Li Hetong was dressed in a well-tailored, elegant black suit, paired with a white shirt and sporting gold-rimmed glasses, presenting a mature and steady appearance, with a face that seemed honest and upright, clearly the image of a society elite.

After returning, Li Ming had removed his white coat and instead had put on a light, casual sweater and slacks, looking even more scholarly and refined.

In the presence of Shen Tianxing, both father and son had a trace of respect on their faces, careful not to underestimate her due to her youth.

Li Ming bowed slightly to Shen Tianxing with a smile and said, "Little Fairy, we are here to pick you up! This is my father, his full name is Li Hetong."

Li Hetong also respectfully bowed slightly to Shen Tianxing, "Little Fairy, hello! On behalf of the entire Li Family, I’m truly grateful for you taking the trouble to come to Capital City to treat my father. Thank you very much, we truly appreciate it!"

Shen Tianxing could sense the profound gratitude emanating from within Li Hetong, and with a slight smile she said, "Mr. Li, you’re welcome, it’s getting late, let’s head over now!"

Dugu Zixi immediately rose to her feet, "Xingxing, I’ll come with you!"

Shen Tianxing nodded with a smile, "Okay."

The elder Mr. Dugu also stood up, "Hetong, I haven’t seen your dad in a long time, I’ll come along to visit him too."

The elder Mrs. Dugu also stood up, declaring in a harmonious couple’s manner, "Then I shall accompany the old master as well, we can both go and visit old Li together."

Dugu Zixi worried that too many visitors might upset or discomfort the Li Family, and seeing his father Dugu Jun’an also wanting to join, he directly addressed him, "Dad, you and mom should just rest at home. We’ll go over and quickly return."

When Dugu Jun’an heard his son’s words, he glared at him irritably.

He too wanted to see how the Little Fairy saved people, right?

He hadn’t even expressed this wish when his son rudely cut him off.

While Dugu Jun’an was feeling displeased, he suddenly heard Dugu Zixi’s voice in his mind, "Dad, don’t be angry. Even if you went, you wouldn’t be able to witness Xiaoxing treat the patient. Her healing technique is a fairy’s art; if seen by others, it might cause a great stir, which is why Xingxing won’t allow spectators during treatment."

Having heard Dugu Zixi’s explanation, Dugu Jun’an finally understood the reasons behind his earlier words and laughed it off, "Alright, you all go ahead. Your mother and I will rest at home, if there’s anything you need help with, just call us."

Dugu Zixi responded with a smile, "Got it."

Under the guidance of Li Ming and his father Li Hetong, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing boarded the five-star luxury car sent by the Li Family.

The elder Mr. Dugu and Mrs. Dugu, on the other hand, accompanied by the security officer Liu Yao, boarded the Dugu Family’s dedicated five-star luxury car.

The distance of one kilometer was nothing for a car, passed in the blink of an eye.

All the other members of the Li Family were waiting at the main entrance. Instead of feeling flattered or happy with such a grand welcome, Shen Tianxing felt displeased.

She didn’t like such high-profile attention, and the Li Family’s grand welcome only served to put her more in the spotlight.

She had specifically asked Li Ming to keep her visit a secret from his family, but it seemed he hadn’t taken her request to heart.

Seeing the look on Shen Tianxing’s face, Dugu Zixi knew she was unhappy.

Upon seeing the crowd gathered at the entrance of the Li Family, he also instantly understood the reason for Shen Tianxing’s distress.

He communicated to Shen Tianxing through thought, "Xingxing, how about we let our elder go first, and we follow behind as juniors, all entering alongside him?"

Shen Tianxing shook her head, replying via telepathy, "Forget it, with the Li Family making such a fuss, the news must have already spread far and wide. There’s no point in trying to hide it anymore. Whatever will be, will be. If push comes to shove, we stand our ground, right? We don’t have to be afraid of anyone! Don’t you agree?"

Listening to her, Dugu Zixi also laughed, "Exactly! We don’t need to be afraid of anyone! If anything happens, our family will support you. I will never let anyone harm you!"

Shen Tianxing smiled faintly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Even though, with her abilities, she might not need the Dugu Family’s assistance in a crisis, she still appreciated Dugu Zixi’s earnest desire to protect her. That was what mattered most!

As soon as the Li Family’s five-star luxury car stopped, Li Ming immediately got out and went forward eagerly to open the door for Shen Tianxing, "Little Fairy, we’ve arrived at my place, please get out of the car!"
