An Ning walked over to the bench nearby, sat down, and with a half-smile said, "The hero has guessed wrongly. Although this house is well built, it has been here for quite a few years. It was established by my late father. Now, being able to eat and drink to our satisfaction is already a blessing, so we have no choice but to treat the hero a bit less hospitably."
Mu Yi’s heart sank.
Her late father, why would the young lady say this?
Their master is clearly alive and well.
However, soon Mu Yi understood.
Years ago, the master left without a word, carrying the young master, while the young lady was rely a month old. Madam Yan was a woman, so it’s understandable that without finding the master, she would believe that sothing had happened to him and that he was no longer among the living.
"I see," Mu Yi looked at An Dafu next to him, "I originally thought that this brother was the young lady’s father, but it seems not to be the case!"
An Ning: "As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If one cannot stay by your side at all tis, even a blood father might not compare to a stranger!"
Mu Yi always felt that every word the young lady said seed to carry a sting.
But it shouldn’t be.
He just arrived and helped the young lady. Even if she doesn’t feel grateful toward him, she shouldn’t act like this, right?
It’s truly puzzling!
An Dafu listened to An Ning’s tone and also felt sothing was slightly off.
Looking at Mu Yi’s thoughtful expression, after all, the person just helped them; making the scene too awkward wouldn’t be good.
So, An Dafu appropriately changed the subject, "By the way, I haven’t asked for the hero’s esteed na. Where do you reside? Soday we could visit to express our gratitude."
"No need for thanks. My na is Mu Yi, a person of the martial world. I always regard the four seas as ho and don’t have a fixed residence. Wherever I go, that’s ho." Mu Yi said.
"Oh, it turns out Brother Mu is a chivalrous hero. No wonder you drew your sword to help when witnessing injustice. If not for encountering Brother Mu today, we might have suffered greatly. Brother Mu, if you don’t mind, why not stay for a al?" In a blink, An Dafu was already trying to befriend him.
Though the person before him claid to be from the martial world, his bearing was more akin to that of a noble from a notable family.
And the way he expertly defeated the Lian Family mbers using martial arts of unparalleled subtlety stirred a long-held martial arts dream in An Dafu’s heart.
However, given his age, it’s impossible for him to practice martial arts now.
Otherwise, during this rare journey to ancient tis, he would also want to learn martial arts to fulfill his dream.
But considering his age, it’s impossible, and he fears he’ll only end up admiring others.
Mu Yi did not agree to stay for dinner, as at this mont, he had other things to attend to.
His purpose in coming here was to understand An Ning’s life in this place.
By chance, he encountered An Ning being bullied, so he had no choice but to intervene and reveal himself.
Now, the master is still in the capital city waiting for him to return with detailed information. He dare not delay.
He also tentatively tried to get information from An Ning and An Dafu, but although An Dafu seed defenseless with his cheeky grin, he always expertly avoided certain topics.
As for An Ning, even more so. When it ca to discussing her own situation, she beca like a little hedgehog, bristling with thorns, leaving Mu Yi no way to approach.
