“What a blind thing!”
The youth kicked the defected rcenary’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 co here to train her ntal strength.
Speaking of which, Worriless’ grandpa must be nearby, and he would’ve imdiately 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. Co, Miss Worriless, I’ll carry you!” the youth offered.
However, the girl still didn’t move.
“Co up,” Ji Xiuran said softly as he knelt down.
The girl’s blush deepened imdiately, 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 ho,” Ji Xiuran replied with a faint smile.
“Okay.” The girl nodded.
…
After walking a mont, 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 so 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 t 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 beca 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 rely 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.
