Chapter 175.1: Nan ManerOriginal and most updated translations are on volare. If this is being found anywhere else, it has been stolen. Donโt support theft. ๐
Nan Maner grew up in the valley and had never seen a man as good-looking as Mu Ye. She was currently sixteen and filled with curiosity towards the outside world. Although Grandmaโs guests would occasionally come into the valley, there had never been a guest that stayed quietly outside without going in to talk to Grandma like Mu Ye.
Recalling the injured girl she saw in the room earlier, Nan Maner asked, โMan, are you a friend of the girl in the room-yo?โ
Mu Ye still ignored her.
If it werenโt for the fact that Mu Ye was so cold, perhaps her curiosity wouldnโt have been so strong.
โI saw that she was injured-yo. It doesnโt seem to have been inflicted by a person-yo? Did she get bitten by the wolves over in that valley?โ
โThose wolves are really fierce ah! Even Iโm not a match for them, and even Xiao Yuer was bitten before-yo.โ
โDid you guys wander here from the valley?โ
โWhat is it like outside the valley-yo?โ
So talkative.
Two words emerged in Mu Yeโs heart.
โMan, since you have nothing to do while standing here, when donโt you just tell me a little about the world outside?โ As Nan Maner spoke, she moved towards Mu Ye. Her martial arts skill was probably quite high, it was just that her technique was very strange. Her qinggong seemed like that of a snake, she seemed to slither from the trunk and over the branch, reaching Mu Ye in the blink of an eye. Hanging upside down in front of Mu Ye, she said, โHow about this-yo? If you tell me about the world outside, Iโll tell you about that big sisterโs condition inside the room.โ
Nan Maner was quite smart. When she saw that Mu Yeโs stare was fixated on the house, she immediately figured out that he was worried about the person inside. Originally, she didnโt want to make this kind of deal because Grandma Shen had warned her that if she ever made a deal with anyone, she would kick her out of the valley.
However, she couldnโt contain her curiosity.
Mu Yeโs expression finally changed a little. His thin lips parted. โFine.โ
Eh!?
The moment he agreed, Nan Maner threw Grandma Shenโs warning to the back of her head. She asked, โAre you and that big sister lovers-yo?โ
Mu Ye hadnโt expected for her to suddenly ask this. His gaze sharpened a little. โNo.โ
Nan Manerโs smile became even brighter as she dropped down from the branch and flipped over to sit next to Mu Ye. โThen, are you guys friends?โ
โNo.โ
โIf youโre not friends and not lovers, then why are you so worried about her-yo?โ Nan Maner couldnโt understand it. โWere you lying to me?โ
โNo.โ
โWhy is it the same word again-yo!?โ Nan Maner truly felt defeated as she covered her face in frustration. How could a person with so little words exist in this world!?
Mu Ye glanced at her, then continued to look towards the house. He pressed his lips together, then asked, โHow is she?โ
โSheโs still alright-yo. Although she looks heavily injured-yo, there werenโt any large wounds. Sheโll be able to recover soon after soaking in the medicinal bath awhile-yo!โ
Nan Maner spoke angrily but also helplessly.
Mu Ye felt much more relieved after finding out about her situation. He gazed at the dense leaves around him as he started speaking in a cold, emotionless voice. โThe world outside is cruelโฆโ
โFor the sake of money and power, there are constant battles and power struggles.โ
โSecret plots, open conspiracies, constant scheming. You scheme to overthrow me, I scheme to overthrow you. Itโs cold and heartless.โ
There was not a trace of emotion in his voice, it was as if he was reading aloud homework. However, Nan Manerโs eyes lit up with a strange radiance. So the world outside was like this! As expected it was not much different from what Grandma said, it wasnโt wonderful at all.
She snuck a glance at Mu Yeโs cold profile. He was really a man that kept his promises. He clearly didnโt like to speak, but he did it for the sake of getting news about that big sister.
Grandma said that the most important thing about a good man is that they kept their promises. Then that meant that heโs a good man?
Grandma said that once one encountered a good man, one had to tightly grab onto him like the way one grabbed oneโs own things, and not let go.
However โ a depressed expression now appeared in Nan Manerโs large eyes โ the man said that he wasnโt lovers or friends with that big sister, but his gaze had already betrayed him. It was clear that he really liked that big sister.
Would she still be able to grab hold of him if he already had someone he liked?
Grandma hadnโt talked to her about this before.
It was seriously vexing.
