Ye Lanfeng stood there, his hands behind his back, as he gently pinched his own hand. Han Yan’s lips, so soft...
The two of them simply looked at each other, speechless for quite some time.
Off in the distance, Zhou Binghai stood agape at the scene. Holy Life Extending Pill—was the adult really using it just like wound medicine? And two at once! Also, the way the adult looked at that playboy, a phrase came to mind: eyes brimming with tenderness. Ugh, Zhou Binghai quickly shook his head, how could he stoop to the same level as Jin Yuguang, that clown!
After what seemed an eternity, Mu Hanyan finally snapped back to reality, a smile spreading across his face, "Young Master Ye, thank you, you... you saved me again. Now, I’m afraid I might never be able to repay your kindness."
Ye Lanfeng was momentarily lost in that radiant smile.
That smile was everything.
Just to see such a smile on her face, it seemed all worth it.
No need for you to repay it.
Ye Lanfeng also smiled, quietly observing Mu Hanyan, and smiled without a word.
Mu Hanyan was genuinely taken aback by Ye Lanfeng’s smile.
How could a person’s smile be so celestial? How could it be so beautiful?
"Be very careful," Ye Lanfeng said softly, then he took off his black cloak and draped it over Mu Hanyan. Mu Hanyan’s clothes were in tatters after the battle.
Mu Hanyan was startled, allowing Ye Lanfeng to fasten the cloak around her, feeling an unparalleled sense of calmness and warmth in that moment.
However, the peace between them was soon broken.
"Senior, Senior." Just then, Mu Cheng came running back, tumbling and scrambling.
"I just knew Brother Han Yan would be fine, with a senior like you behind him, how could anything possibly happen to him. Lucky I came back quickly otherwise I would have missed you again." Finally, reaching them, Mu Cheng ran up to Ye Lanfeng, excited and overjoyed, his eyes brimming with tears, happier than if he had seen his own father.
"Who are you?" Ye Lanfeng was in a good mood and didn’t get angry, asking nonchalantly. Of course, that was out of consideration for Han Yan that he even dealt with Mu Cheng.
"My name is Mu Cheng, I am also... also one of Mu Family’s Disciples," Mu Cheng said excitedly, stuttering slightly.
"Oh, what is it?" Ye Lanfeng asked.
"I have been in awe of the extraordinary grace of the senior ever since I saw you at Longyan Mountain, I beg the senior to take me as your apprentice," Mu Cheng suddenly knelt down, knocking his head on the ground repeatedly. Get full chapters from novelꜰire.net
"You want me to take you as an apprentice?" Ye Lanfeng looked at Mu Cheng noncommittally.
"Yes, although my talent is ordinary, I won’t be weaker than those waste materials. I have reached Fifth Rank Swordsman by my own efforts alone. If the senior would take me as an apprentice, I will devote myself to cultivation and will never disgrace you," Mu Cheng said earnestly, his gaze fixed intensely on Ye Lanfeng.
What is meant by ’waste materials’? Who was he talking about? And what’s this about definitely devoting himself so as not to disgrace the senior—was he implying that others have shamed him? Mu Hanyan found Mu Cheng’s words peculiar no matter how she listened.
On second thought, Mu Hanyan realized that this guy probably assumed her cultivation stemmed from Ye Lanfeng’s help and thus entertained the idea of poaching her. His words had hidden implications—referring to ’waste materials’ and such, clearly they were directed at her.
Although Mu Cheng’s imagination was a bit too rich, which was indeed amusing, upon further reflection, Mu Hanyan felt there was some logic to his speculation.
Ye Lanfeng, hearing these words disparaging Mu Hanyan, furrowed his brows.
