In the late afternoon, Zhao Lingfeng intended to accompany Lu Jiao back to the Xie residence. In the morning, he had promised Scholar Xie to personally escort her, so he intended to keep his word.
However, before Zhao Lingfeng could send Lu Jiao off, he saw that Xie Yunjin had sent Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong to pick her up.
With so many people accompanying her, Lu Jiao didn't need Zhao Lingfeng to send her off and refused his offer.
"I have so many people around me escorting me, you don't need to accompany me."
When he heard this, Zhao Lingfeng protested, "In the morning, I promised Scholar Xie to bring you back safely. If I don't send you off now, wouldn't I be going back on my word? If anything happens to you later, Scholar Xie will surely hold me accountable."
Lu Jiao smiled and pointed to Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong behind her, saying, "Didn't you say they're capable? Since they are, what are you worried about? Rest assured."
