The feeling of being protected by someone is hard to put into words.
He'd been anxious before, hearing that Yu Ao Feng from the Celestial Toad Sect still hadn't ruled out his suspicion, but now that someone was secretly guarding him, he felt much more at ease.
Besides, anyone who would protect Shen Hao in secret could only be a top expert from the Xuanqing Guard. According to Nie Yun, all those people are Primordial Pill Realm cultivators, meaning they're from either the Governor's Office or the Commander's Office—both are possible.
But shouldn't there be a reason for someone to protect him? Is it because they see Shen Hao's potential? Or maybe it's because he's clever, a good saber in hand?
Moreover, he's never heard of someone being protected without being notified—even a secret protection wouldn't be hidden to this extent. If he had to explain it, it would be: the other party has not only the duty of protecting him in secret, but also secretly monitoring or investigating him.
