Chapter 428: Chapter 428: I am not a savior!

Su Linglong knew that there were many outstanding women around Fang Bai, and although she had decided to openly compete with the other women, she still felt a bit nervous and slightly resentful when she saw a new, equally outstanding woman appear by Fang Bai’s side.

However, Su Linglong soon realized that she was overthinking it.

Although Fang Bai and the woman were sitting in the same office, there was absolutely no communication between them, nor any secret glances or exchange of ambiguous signals, as if two strangers were sitting together.

"Linglong, you’re here?"

When he saw Su Linglong come in, Fang Bai put down the tea and newspaper in his hands, glanced at the Dragon Maiden on the sofa, and said with a touch of annoyance, "Miss Long, I have something to discuss with my friend. Could you please excuse us for a moment?"

The Dragon Maiden paid no attention to Fang Bai; she looked at Su Linglong and then stood up, smiling as she extended her hand to Su Linglong, saying, "You must be Su Linglong, right? My name is Dragon Maiden, and I’m an old acquaintance of Su Fu, the butler of the Su Family."

"Ah, you really know Butler Su?"

Su Linglong said with a look of surprise.

Su Fu was the Su Family’s old butler, possessing the strength of a Yellow Level Martial Artist, and was also the master of Su Yifei.

After Su Linglong started her internship at Yanjing Hospital, Su Fu was also assigned to a villa in Yanjing that belonged to the Su Family, where he, along with several Profound Level Martial Artists employed by the Su Family, collectively protected Su Linglong.

"Hehe, go back and mention my name to Su Fu; he will definitely know who I am," said the Dragon Maiden with a grin.

Su Fu was the old butler of the Su Family, but at the same time, he was also a member of the "Dragon Guard" Yellow Team; it’s just that this identity was not convenient to mention here.

Between beauties, there are those who repel each other, and those who attract each other.

The relation between Su Linglong and the Dragon Maiden was the latter.

When the two women met, they did not spark any conflict, but rather, they had a good impression of each other.

Their conversation began with Su Fu and quickly moved on to the Su Family.

What Su Linglong did not expect was that the Dragon Maiden seemed to know a great deal about many affairs and members of the Su Family, as if she were listing her family treasures.

Of course, Su Linglong would not know that as a crucial force maintaining the stability of Huaxia, the "Dragon Guard" maintained intricate connections with the Huaxia government and could easily obtain detailed information on nearly all the prominent clans in Huaxia.

As a direct descendant of the Su Family, the number one prominent clan in Zhongzhou, Su Linglong was naturally one of the individuals of interest to the "Dragon Guard."

Therefore, it was not surprising that the Dragon Maiden knew so much about the Su Family.

In the blink of an eye, the two women’s topic of conversation had shifted from the Su Family to beauty and skincare, and they enthusiastically started chatting about it.

"Sister Long came to see Fang Bai, is there something you need?"

When one topic came to a temporary halt, Su Linglong asked curiously.

"Yes, there is something very important!"

The Dragon Maiden put away her smile and said in all seriousness, "This matter relates to Huaxia’s future stability, development, and long-lasting peace..."

Su Linglong, seeing the Dragon Maiden speaking so seriously, was startled and asked, "What’s happening? Is there some significant event about to occur?"

Fang Bai, somewhat annoyed yet amused, said to the side, "Linglong, don’t let her exaggerate the danger!"

"When have I ever exaggerated? What I’m saying is the truth!" the Dragon Maiden retorted earnestly.

She continued with conviction, "With your abilities, if you were to join the Dragon Guard, how many people in need could you help? How many lives could you save? Isn’t this closely linked to the stability of Huaxia?"

"It sounds as though the Earth can’t spin without me... I’m certainly not a savior!"

Fang Bai said, shrugging his shoulders.

"A physician has a compassionate heart, and a martial artist has the heart of a knight-errant. The greatest act of chivalry is to serve the country and its people. As a master who practices both medicine and martial arts, Divine Doctor Fang should unequivocally stand up to uphold fairness and justice!"

"In my opinion, martial artists should focus on pursuing the Martial Dao and should not interfere too much in mundane affairs. Otherwise, it only leads to greater unrest and chaos. Besides, I am a very selfish person – matters that don’t concern me, I am too lazy to bother with!"

"Really? Then who was the one who stepped forward to save a person attempting to leap from a building? Who was the one who, upon seeing an elderly person fall, rushed to help them up? Who was the one who took a little girl, who had lost her parents, to the police station? There are many such incidents, but I won’t list them all. I don’t believe a selfish person would do these good deeds!"

"Those were just coincidences that I stumbled upon and dealt with as they came. Besides, such trivial matters can hardly bear any relevance to serving the country and upholding justice and fairness, wouldn’t you agree?"

During these days, aside from sleeping at night, the Dragon Maiden had been following Fang Bai almost constantly and had witnessed many of his deeds herself.

"It’s the small day-to-day deeds that best reveal a person’s character and nature. If Divine Doctor Fang pays attention to the fate of common people, then I believe he would not stand idly by when it comes to matters crucial for Huaxia’s stability, right?"

The Dragon Maiden was articulate and persuasive, but Fang Bai did not wish to argue with her. He simply stayed silent, assuming the unshakable demeanor of "let the storm rage on—I stand firm."

Having listened for a while, Su Linglong finally understood what was going on between the Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai. She found it amusing to see one insisting on a yes to stay, and the other adopting an indifferent attitude.

Although Su Linglong thought it would be good for Fang Bai to join the Dragon Guard, she knew he was a person of strong convictions. If he did not wish to do something, no one could persuade him.

In the evening, upon returning to the villa they were staying at, Su Linglong asked the old butler Su Fu about the Dragon Guard. Su Fu was amazed to hear that the Dragon Maiden herself had personally sought out Fang Bai, even resorting to persistence and strong persuasion.

After all, the Dragon Maiden was the granddaughter of Dragon Guard’s leader, Long Jingtian; she only personally stepped in to invite influential elders and masters from the Ancient Martial World under Long Jingtian’s direction.

Su Fu knew Fang Bai was powerful, but he hadn’t expected him to be esteemed to the extent that warranted the Dragon Maiden’s personal invitation. This surely indicated Fang Bai held an incredibly important place in the heart of Dragon Guard’s leader, Long Jingtian.

That night, Su Linglong learned much about the Dragon Guard from Su Fu, gaining a deeper understanding of this organization primarily composed of Huaxia’s Ancient Martial World martial artists.

Undoubtedly an intelligent woman, the Dragon Maiden, seeing that she couldn’t persuade Fang Bai, and knowing the close relationship between Su Linglong and Fang Bai, stopped pestering him. She instead adopted a "roundabout rescue strategy," aiming to build a good relationship with Su Linglong.

Although Su Linglong was naive at heart, she understood the Dragon Maiden’s purpose. Since the Dragon Maiden was a member of the Dragon Guard and Su Linglong had a favorable impression of the Dragon Guard, she didn’t mind becoming friends with the Dragon Maiden. However, she made it clear that she was powerless regarding Fang Bai’s decision; if the Dragon Maiden wanted to sway Fang Bai, she would have to do it herself.
