CHAPTER 25: SOLDIERS

It was ridiculous.

Yu Shi Lan could still remember many things from her youth that made her really think about how stupid she used to be. Just because people showed kindness to her doesn’t mean that they were really truly kind.

Many people only wanted to take advantage of her and Yu Shi Lan couldn’t see it at all at that time.

She just thought that since they were kind to her and had helped her, then she would repay their kindness.

’Forget it.’

Taking a deep breath, Yu Shi Lan bowed slightly to the two people. "Thank you for your help, Sir."

"Eh, you made me sound so old." Mu Ting Ye, the former mall employee who was trapped together in that place, shuddered when he heard Yu Shi Lan’s words. He felt that as a proper 18 years old young man, such an address didn’t seem to suit him in the slightest bit.

Mu Ting Yu, the soldier, shook his head and hit his younger brother’s head without mercy. "If you dare to continue speaking nonsense, I don’t mind beating you up first. What are you doing here in the first place, Ting Ye?"

"Experience life..." Mu Ting Ye murmured and looked away.

"Oh?"

Hearing the rising tone indicating danger from his older brother, Mu Ting Ye quickly changed his words, "I mean, my friend told me that he needs someone to replace him for work and you know... my dad just punished me, so I run away."

As he said that, his eyes wandered around, looking like he was ready to run away. It was obvious that he had been making a lot of troubles for their father lately and Mu Ting Yu laughed in anger.

This brat has been making their father so angry that he kept on getting punished again and again.

Mu Ting Yu felt helpless.

On one side, they all knew that teenagers were indeed at their rebellious period and Mu Ting Ye’s behavior was more or less something they have predicted in advance. This brat has been making trouble not one day or two but for so many years.

His older brother and sister were far better than him.

"Be honest and follow the convoy. I have to get back to work." Mu Ting Yu nodded at Yu Shi Lan politely and walked away.

Mu Ting Ye stuck out his tongue playfully and then retracted it quickly. He turned to look at Yu Shi Lan beside him and grinned. "Well, you don’t have to be so polite. How about if you get to know me again? I’m Mu Ting Ye~."

Hearing the boy’s informal sentences, Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and then gave a polite smile. "Yu Shi Lan."

This young man was really enthusiastic and Yu Shi Lan was not used to it. The world she lived in was filled with cold and indifferent people who were already beaten by life and couldn’t even see hope of their future.

That was how it was in this world.

And the cultivation world was filled with people longing to become a cultivator, not knowing that it was just another journey filled with hardship and pain.

"So, how did you get to know that Lian Lei Xu? Let me tell you, he’s the most annoying person around in our community who always thought that his family is the best. If it’s not because of his father’s high position, how could he be so arrogant and made trouble everywhere?

Then again, he has been kicked out of the school several times and many places are not willing to accept him no matter how much his father paid. Because accepting him will meant that they will have to sacrifice the school’s reputation..."

Mu Ting Ye immediately became a chatterbox, sprouting almost everything he knew about Lian Lei Xu.

Half of them were his own complaint and the other half was what truly mattered, though.

It was obvious that Mu Ting Ye hated Lian Lei Xu so much.

Yu Shi Lan’s lips twitched.

She could still remember that this young man remained cool and aloof when they were trapped in the mall, acting as if nothing could enter his eyes. After they left, he turned into a chatterbox just because of one Lian Lei Xu?

Just how much did he hate the other party?

Is this the saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

"I don’t know much about him, but he made a bet with others to pursue me and then dump me," Yu Shi Lan interrupted before Mu Ting Ye could start sprouting 1000 black history of Lian Lei Xu.

Even though she didn’t know how he could remember so much, but she believed that with the hatred the two young men has with each other, it was not impossible.
