"Does my mother know I'm looking for you! Oh... all she does is complain about me, wishing I'd go far away." Jing Shu complained with a sullen face, "Now that there's this opportunity, I'll just stay away from her!"
"You must have done something that upset her, that's why she says that about you." Jun Ning speculated.
"Hmph…" Jing Shu pouted arrogantly, "No, I didn't!"
Jun Ning, seeing her like this, knew she was lying, "…looks like you did."
"No, I didn't." Jing Shu insisted stubbornly.
"Alright, whether you did or not is up to you." Jun Ning didn't intend to investigate further, "I just want to tell you that I'm going not for leisure, but on a mission. It's not an easy task, very tricky. Are you sure you want to go?"
"I'm going!" Jing Shu spoke with her mouth full of a grape, her words a bit muffled, "Isn't that impressive guard of yours being treated at the Imperial Hospital? He's not getting any better. If I don't go, who will protect you?"
