The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 208 Invisibility Spell (3)_1

And the next part of the journey, thanks to Situ Xin, Situ Che and Loo Jie were left under Old Deng’s care. This time, Situ Che and Loo Jie really benefited from Situ Xin’s presence.

"Grandpa Deng, have some fruit." Situ Xin was the only one whose mouth was non-stop, no, not just her, there was also Baibai. She felt a bit embarrassed. She directly pulled out a peach from her bag and handed it to Old Deng.

After giving Old Deng the peach, she reached into her bag again and pulled out a bunch of grapes, a few apples, and distributed them one by one to everyone present. Situ Che and Loo Jie had seen the Storage Ring and had one on them too, so they assumed that the stuff Situ Xin took out was from a Storage Ring and didn’t think much of it. But Old Deng and the others who didn’t know about the Storage Ring were filled with curiosity about Situ Xin’s little bag. "Xiao Xin, what is your bag made of, it looks so small, yet it can fit so many things?"

As soon as Old Deng asked his question, Situ Che and Loo Jie, who had been enjoying the delicious fruit provided by their sister, paused in their eating. How had they not thought that their sister’s actions would attract Old Deng’s attention?

"Is it a lot? It’s okay, this bag was specially made by my master because I love to eat," said Situ Xin, naturally shifting the subject to her master. Old Deng knew about Situ Xin’s mysterious master, so he pressed no further.

Previously, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo mentioned to Old Deng about Situ Xin’s master with instructions not to discuss it publicly. Hence, Old Deng, upon hearing it had to do with Situ Xin’s master, didn’t ask further.

Since Old Deng didn’t proceed with more questions, the other two didn’t feel they had the right to either. Everyone enjoyed the fruit provided by Situ Xin as they discussed other topics.

Xiangjiang’s government officials were unaware that Old Deng was arriving in Xiangjiang today, and the Xiangjiang airport only received the domestic notification that a leader’s plane would be landing at their airport after Old Deng’s plane had taken off, and they knew nothing else.

So when Old Deng’s plane landed at the airport, apart from the airport’s senior management, no other Xiangjiang government officials appeared.

Old Deng, feeling somewhat helpless looking at Situ Xin, who clung to his arm. Situ Xin was practically sent by the higher-ups to manage him. Whenever Situ Xin coaxed and sweet-talked him, he was powerless to resist.

Right before they disembarked from the plane, Situ Xin had cajoled Old Deng, which made him nod in agreement to let her accompany him.

"Girl, you stick close to me later, and don’t go anywhere else," warned Old Deng, thinking of the people secretly accompanying him, and especially instructed Situ Xin.

"Grandpa Deng, don’t worry. You’ve heard my brothers talk about my abilities; what else is there to be concerned about?" Situ Xin had even called upon her two brothers to vouch for her to get Old Deng to agree to her accompaniment.

"I know you’ve got kung fu, but you’re not as experienced in real combat as your brothers. Stay close to me," Old Deng said with a pat on the hand Situ Xin had on his arm, "Let’s go."

Old Deng and Situ Xin walked ahead while Situ Che, holding Baibai, and Loo Jie followed closely behind. Before they set off, the two exchanged glances and remained on full alert, ready for battle.

As soon as Situ Xin and Old Deng stepped off the plane, the few senior executives at the airport were startled at the sight of Old Deng. They had not expected the domestic leader to be Old Deng.

After the executives came to their senses, they couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads, muttering, "Oh my god, what a huge mess this has become."

"Old Deng," the executives advanced to greet him. Seeing the airport’s senior management reaching out for a handshake, Old Deng, too, pulled Situ Xin closer, ready to greet them.

Just as Old Deng was about to shake hands with the airport executives, Situ Xin suddenly perceived a dangerous aura approaching from behind to their right, growing stronger and stronger.

"Xiao Xin, what’s wrong? Keep walking," urged Old Deng, concerned as he noticed Situ Xin had stopped.

When Old Deng spoke to her, Situ Xin had already turned her head to the right rear, in the direction from which she felt the dangerous aura. As she turned, she saw a bullet flying towards them from two meters away – and by her estimation, it was aimed right at Old Deng’s head.

In that instant, Situ Xin had no time to think. Instinctively, she teleported between Old Deng and Loo Jie, who was behind Old Deng, pulling the two away from their original spot while simultaneously shouting, "Everyone, get down!"

Those accompanying to protect Old Deng, due to previous training and their regular combat experience, also felt the danger. So, following Situ Xin’s yell to "get down," they all instinctively did as she commanded and quickly dropped to the ground.

Fortunately, since Old Deng’s arrival in Xiangjiang was meant to be secret, there weren’t many people at the airport. And seeing the people around Old Deng dropping to the floor, the airport executives, regardless of whether there was any danger, also dropped down.

Those hidden in the shadows protecting Old Deng were more sensitive than the bodyguards at Old Deng’s side. But as sharp as they were, they were not as prescient as Situ Xin. If not for Situ Xin’s presence, by the time they sensed danger, it would have been too late to save Old Deng.

The hidden guardians saw the bullet fly past Old Deng’s ear, and seeing Old Deng standing unharmed, they felt their backs drenched with sweat, their hearts pounding uncontrollably. Without Situ Xin, had Old Deng been harmed, they would have faced severe punishment upon returning to their organization.

After confirming that Old Deng was safe, they did not reveal themselves but left two behind while the rest followed the bullet’s trajectory to find the sniper hidden in the shadows.

As Situ Xin pulled Old Deng and Loo Jie out of harm’s way, she released her Divine Sense and knew instantly that the sniper had left the scene after firing. Situ Xin thought to herself, "Those guys must be getting impatient." frёeωebɳovel.com
