The two Titled Douluo aboard Spirit Hall's ship held high positions and great authority, so naturally, only Ning Rongrong and Hu Liena dared give them sour looks.
Meanwhile, aboard the ship belonging to Vast Sea City's city lord's estate, the Titled Douluo She Long stood before Qian Renxue with his head lowered, his face filled with gloom.
In a sense, he and Porcupinefish Douluo were both Qian Renxue's household servants. Even though they were Titled Douluo, they could only bow and scrape before her, fearing that she might one day play with them like snap crackers.
"Useless! Every last one of you is useless! She Long, tell me, why didn't you save him?" Qian Renxue berated him coldly, her voice filled with ice.
"Young Master, your disguise had already been stripped away, and three Titled Douluo were watching like hungry tigers nearby. This old servant could only prioritize concealing your true appearance. I dared not divide my attention in the slightest." She Long adopted an extremely humble attitude, even referring to himself as an old servant before Qian Renxue.
But She Long's humble attitude did not soothe Qian Renxue's anger. It even fanned its flames.
However, she had not forgotten the brief, impromptu lesson Tang Mo had given her earlier. She understood that she was not yet qualified to discard two Titled Douluo at will. Especially while she was still at sea, with little strength at her disposal, there was no way she could discard a powerful bodyguard like She Long.
"If there's a next time, go see my grandfather yourself." After delivering that harsh warning, Qian Renxue turned her back, quietly slipped a Crimson Yang Pill into a jade bottle, and tossed it behind her.
She Long caught the jade bottle, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes.
