Wen Ping understood, so he patted her head and stood up to leave, "You just rest here. I have some things to do."
Suddenly realizing that his hand might have been placed incorrectly, Wen Ping quickly withdrew it.
He had no other intentions, just wanted to show some concern for her.
But he was afraid Shi Hua might misunderstand.
"Don't worry, while you're staying here, no one will come to trouble you." Listening to the woman, she has a husband, and if he knows that his wife was killed, he might seek revenge. Even if he can't succeed, he might resort to underhanded methods.
Wen Ping simply decided to have the Mountain Dog guard here.
If the woman's husband is at the Divine Profound Upper Realm, the Mountain Dog can hold him off, buying Wen Ping enough time to arrive.
The Evil Spirit Knight is only responsible for protecting him and won't help anyone else, so leaving him here wouldn't be beneficial.
