Liu Shii was surprised, “May I ask, what is the reason?”

She knew that everything had two sides, and people always viewed things from their own perspective, examining events from their own starting point. Therefore, it was not that she didn’t trust Zhong Lang, but she still wanted to hear both sides of the story, to avoid believing in one-sided words.

Mu Jiangli looked at her, not clarifying the cause and effect of the situation. Instead, he said, “I know you want to resolve the grievances between and Zhong Lang.”

He set down the teacup in his hand and continued, “Shaking hands and making peace is impossible, but… for your sake, I can temporarily let him go. From now on, as long as he is by your side, I will not pursue past grievances. But once he is no longer your retainer, I will demand retribution from him.”

Liu Shii was very surprised, “Is Lord Mu… valuing too much? Is my face so significant?”

This question sounded a bit shaless, but wasn’t this what he ant?

Clearly, he said ‘For your sake’, implying that he was willing to overlook personal enmity for her. Didn’t this an he was giving her face?

Mu Jiangli smiled, “Since you are willing to let address you by your na, there’s no need for us to be too distant. I am considerably older than you. If you don’t mind, you can call ‘elder brother’ in the future.”

Liu Shii,”…”

She already had many brothers!

Elder brothers, younger brothers… a whole bunch!

Now, Mu Jiangli ant for her to acknowledge him as a sworn brother?

“You just ntioned deepening our friendship…” Seeing her reluctance, Mu Jiangli lowered his eyelids and said calmly, “But I don’t agree. The grudges and affections in the Jianghu are too complex. You are the daughter of the imperial family, the future daughter-in-law of the royal family. So things are inconvenient to tell you. It’s not that I don’t want to confide in you.”

Liu Shii remained silent, looking at him with a puzzled expression on her face.

Facing her gaze, Mu Jiangli let out a deep sigh, lowered his head, and chuckled softly, saying, “Alright, if you’re not willing, I won’t insist, Eldest Young Miss Liu.”

“It’s not that I’m unwilling,” Liu Shii kept her eyes fixed on his, catching a glimpse of disappointnt in his eyes. She explained, “I just… I’m utterly confused.”

She pursed her lips and continued, “I’m not soone of great importance. I just can’t figure out… why you’re unusually tolerant and kind to ? Or is it sothing else.”

That was almost like baring her soul.

Before she could finish, she added, “Even though I may be a bit petty, dicine Lord is a renowned figure in the martial world, and I am rely a daughter of the imperial family. I’m just a girl. Why would you be so exceptionally kind to ? I can’t help but feel uneasy.”

Again, these were her true feelings.

“I understand,” Mu Jiangli smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about the formalities of calling each other brother and sister. Just consider us as fellow martial artists in the Jianghu. I am much older than you, so you can simply address as ‘Brother Mu’.”

“Alright, Brother Mu.” His explanation made perfect sense, and Liu Shii readily changed her address.

Mu Jiangli’s deanor softened, and he looked at her profile, asking, “Are you investigating Wu Qiang… for your elder brother?”

Liu Shii was taken aback. She thought, ‘I still want to know about Wu Qiang. Since he knows, he must be willing to share.’

“Yes,” she replied candidly.

Mu Jiangli said, “Wu Duosi is indeed Wu Qiang. After leaving the Imperial Capital, he continuously challenged renowned martial artists, not for fa, but…”

His expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued, “For death!”

Liu Shii was shocked!
