Qin Dynasty: Ying Zheng is my brother, I am the Bad Commander

Jing Ke's words were clear and logical, each word filled with heartfelt emotion, vividly portraying an elder brother's protective instincts towards his junior sister, as well as his helpless compromise with reality.

He stripped away all his pride and pretense, acknowledging his weakness and realizing that only the man before him could provide his junior sister with true safety.

Yan Fei looked at Jing Ke lying on the ground, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes. She finally understood Jing Ke's good intentions.

In order to protect his junior sister, this man did not hesitate to "send" her to another man's side, just to seek relative absolute safety.

After listening quietly to Jing Ke's explanation, Ying Chen's expression finally changed.

He looked at Jing Ke kneeling on the ground, and a sincere smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"You are very honest and intelligent, Jing Ke."

Ying Chen spoke calmly, breaking the silence in the private room.

"You're right. There is indeed no safer place in the world than by my side."

Ying Chen stood up, walked around the table, and slowly approached Jing Ke and Gongsun Li.

He didn't help Jing Ke up, but instead turned his gaze to Gongsun Li, who was standing to the side, tears streaming down her face, but biting her lip tightly to keep herself from crying out.

"And what about you?"

Looking at Gongsun Li's beautiful face, which was tearful, pitiful yet stubborn, Ying Chen's voice softened, but still carried an undeniable authority.

"Your senior brother has made the greatest concessions and sacrifices he could for your safety. He has handed the decision over to me, but now I want to hear your own thoughts."

Ying Chen leaned down slightly and looked directly into Gongsun Li's watery eyes.

"Gongsun Li, would you like to stay by my side?"

Gongsun Li met Ying Chen's gaze and nodded.

"very good."

Ying Chen spoke calmly, "Since you have made your decision, from now on you will stay by my side. As long as I live, no one in this world can harm you in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Li's tense body finally relaxed slightly.

After Ying Chen finished speaking, he stopped looking at Gongsun Li and turned his gaze to Jing Ke, who was still kneeling on the ground.

He slowly took two steps forward, walked up to Jing Ke, bent down, and stretched out his long and strong hands to help him up from the ground.

"With your junior sister by my side, you can rest assured. What you need to do now is to quickly familiarize yourself with how the Bad People operate and adjust your own state. The waters of Korea are about to become completely murky, and then it will be time for you to draw your sword and drink blood."

"I will certainly live up to your high expectations, young master!" Jing Ke clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and spoke with a powerful and resonant voice, like the clash of metal and stone.

Ying Chen nodded slightly, then turned around and waved to Jing Ni and Yan Fei behind him.

"let's go."

After saying that, Ying Chen put his hands behind his back, took a step, and leisurely walked out of the private room.

Gongsun Li stood there, watching Ying Chen and the others leave, feeling somewhat at a loss.

She turned to look at her senior brother Jing Ke, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Jing Ke looked at his junior sister, forcibly suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and gave her an encouraging smile.

"Go, Li'er. Stay with the young master and take good care of yourself. Your senior brother... will come to see you."

Gongsun Li bit her lip hard, trying her best to hold back her tears.

She bowed deeply to Jing Ke, then resolutely turned around and took small, delicate steps.

They quickly caught up with Ying Chen and his group.

The door to the private room closed again, leaving Jing Ke alone in the room.

Jing Ke walked to the window, opened it, and looked down at the bustling crowds on the street below.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, casting a long shadow.

He watched Ying Chen and his group of four walk out of the restaurant, and watched Gongsun Li's slightly thin figure gradually disappear at the end of the street.

…………

As dusk settles over the streets of Xinzheng City, the city lights begin to twinkle.

Ying Chen walked at the front, his pace unhurried, as if he were admiring the night view of Xinzheng City.

Yanfei and Jingni followed behind him, one on each side.

Gongsun Li, like a startled fawn, followed closely beside Yan Fei, half a step behind Ying Chen.

She kept her head down, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, still feeling a little uneasy and anxious.

She didn't know what awaited her in the future—whether it would be a life of luxury or an abyss.

Just as Gongsun Li was lost in thought, Ying Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Gongsun Li was not paying attention and almost bumped into Yan Fei, which startled her so much that she quickly stopped and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"arrive."

Ying Chen's calm voice came through.

Gongsun Li raised her head and followed Ying Chen's gaze.

Zilan Pavilion.

She knew this was the largest brothel in Xinzheng City, she thought to herself.

"With two such beautiful women by his side, why would Ying Chen frequent such a place of pleasure?"

Unaware of Gongsun Li's thoughts, Ying Chen stepped into the gate of Zilan Pavilion.

As soon as you step through the door, a captivating fragrance, a blend of precious spices, rich wine, and the scent of women's cosmetics, wafts towards you.

Inside the hall, the lights were bright, the music was melodious, and countless scantily clad and beautiful women moved among the guests, their laughter and flirtatious chatter filling the air.

Gongsun Li had never seen anything like this before, and she was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

She clung tightly to Yan Fei, not daring to lift her head, for fear of being stared at by those wolfish gazes.

"Young Master Ying is back."

Just then, a charming voice came from the stairs.

Everyone looked up and saw Zi Nu gracefully walking down the stairs.

She swayed her serpentine waist and walked straight up to Ying Chen.

Her captivating eyes swept over Ying Chen for a moment, then naturally landed on Gongsun Li behind him.

As the owner of Zilanxuan, Zi Nu has seen countless people and has an incredibly sharp eye.

With just one glance, she could tell that Gongsun Li was extraordinary.

Although Gongsun Li was dressed simply, even somewhat travel-worn, and had her head bowed in nervousness, her fair, jade-like skin, perfect facial features, and pure, ethereal气质 still amazed Zi Nu.

"What a beautiful and intelligent young woman!" Zi Nu thought to herself.

She glanced at Gongsun Li's uneasy posture and her shallow internal energy fluctuations, and instantly judged that this girl was not proficient in martial arts and was obviously visiting such a place of pleasure for the first time.

A barely concealed look of surprise flashed in Zi Nu's eyes.

However, Zi Nu did not take the opportunity to probe Gongsun Li's background. Instead, she naturally withdrew her gaze from Gongsun Li and asked, "Young Master Ying, would you like another superior room prepared?"
