“What a blind thing!”
The youth kicked the defected mercenary’s corpse away before looking at the girl .
His Young Master had just said this girl was Worriless—Worriless Nie from the Nie family…
“Eh, Miss Worriless, why are you here by yourself?” The youth was bemused .
The girl remained silent .
Ji Xiuran smiled faintly . That question was superfluous .
With Worriless’ grandpa’s personality, he must’ve intentionally ordered Worriless to come here to train her mental strength .
Speaking of which, Worriless’ grandpa must be nearby, and he would’ve immediately shown up if Worriless was really in any danger .
“Let’s go,” Ji Xiuran said to the girl with a gentle smile .
However, a blush dusted over the girl’s cheeks, and she wouldn’t get up .
From the corner of his eyes, Ji Xiuran discovered that she was wearing only one shoe . The other shoe was probably lost in the scuffle .
“I lost my shoe…” the girl finally replied a long while later, her cheeks red .
“It’s fine . Come, Miss Worriless, I’ll carry you!” the youth offered .
However, the girl still didn’t move .
“Come up,” Ji Xiuran said softly as he knelt down .
The girl’s blush deepened immediately, but she wrapped her arms around the youth’s neck and was carried on his back .
“Brother Xiuran, where are we going?” the girl asked .
“I’m taking you home,” Ji Xiuran replied with a faint smile .
“Okay . ” The girl nodded .
After walking a moment, the trio stopped to rest next to a stream .
Ji Xiuran sat down next to the stream and used the water to wash his hands before asking the girl, “Are you hungry?”
“Mm, a little…” the girl answered .
“Ji Yue . ” Ji Xiuran turned to the teenager next to him .
“But Young Master, this is your lunch…” Ji Yue anxiously protested .
Ji Xiuran wrinkled his brows .
Ji Yue jolted in fright and could only hand Ji Xiuran’s lunch to the girl . It contained taro as well as some vacuum-sealed cooked beef .
Ji Xiuran picked up the taro and peeled off the skin before handing it to her .
“Brother Xiuran, you eat . ” The girl drooled as she stared at the taro .
Ji Xiuran smiled at her expression and patted her on the head . “It’s fine, I’m not hungry . You eat it all . Don’t waste it . ”
“How can you not be hungry… You haven’t eaten all day,” Ji Yue quietly grumbled not too far away .
When the girl was done eating, Ji Xiuran bent down and carried her on his back again . The trio disappeared into the distance .
Whenever Worriless Nie thought about the day she officially met Ji Xiuran, she couldn’t help but get lost in her thoughts .
At the courtyard in the Ji Estate’s back hill:
Many years later, the youth and the girl became a thing of the past .
Worriless Nie stared at the intently-reading Ji Xiuran and pursed her lips . “Great Sage . ”
“You’re here . ”
Ji Xiuran was snapped out of his concentrated state and set down the book, turning to Worriless Nie with a smile .
“D*mn, it’s a classic . Are you really trying to be a sage?” Worriless Nie teased .
Ji Xiuran didn’t get angry and merely chuckled . “I have nothing to do, so I can only admire the ancients’ wisdom . ”
Worriless Nie approached Ji Xiuran . “Who doesn’t know our Brother Xiuran’s strategic expertise is beyond description? I’m afraid the ancients’ wisdom will soon fall behind you, Brother Xiuran . ”
“Worriless, I heard you recently created a group called the Fearless Alliance . ” A warm smile hung on Ji Xiuran’s lips .
“Eh… You know?” The girl was startled .
“What? I’m not enough to play with you? You still need the Fearless Alliance?” Ji Xiuran leaned closer to the girl, his eyes exceptionally bewitching and soul-stealing .
