CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 224: BAI YANLUO

"There’s none left." Knowing the other’s obsession with medicine and that he would keep pestering without an answer, Nan Jin Yu could only reply.

"None left? How could there be none left? You must know, an antidote for the poison in you took a lot of effort to research, and it took so long just to find the mystery ingredient. When you got something so good, you should have at least saved some for me..." The young man in white nagged for quite a while before finally asking, "By the way, what did that genius treasure look like? Where did you find it?"

As long as he could get a specific description, he would dig three feet under to find another one.

Before Nan Jin Yu could answer, the door was suddenly knocked.

"Nan, I’m here to bring you something delicious!" Gu Nian’s crisp voice sounded from outside.

"Master, I’ll get the door." Wuxin promptly went to open it.

The young man in white turned his head with interest to look at Nan Jin Yu and asked, "A girl’s voice? Who is she?"

Ever since that incident, hadn’t Nan Jin Yu disliked interacting with strangers?

But judging from the way this voice addressed him, they seemed quite familiar, though the voice was too youthful, suggesting she wasn’t old.

When Gu Nian walked in, he was shocked and almost dropped his jaw, "Nan Jin Yu, surely you haven’t gone insane enough to target such a young child?"

He knew that some people with power and influence had their quirks, but as a brother, he hoped Nan Jin Yu wasn’t that perverse.

Gu Nian happened to hear this just as she came in.

If she were only six, she might not understand, but unfortunately, her soul held the mind of an adult.

First impressions were not favorable for Gu Nian towards the good-looking young man in white before her.

For a moment, all of Gu Nian’s attention focused on the young man in white, and he also wanted to see what was so different about the girl who could be at Nan Jin Yu’s side.

No one noticed that Nan Jin Yu suddenly turned cold-faced and struck at the young man in white without warning; by the time he reacted, his whole body was sent flying and landed far away on the ground.

"Bai Yanluo, this is just a warning. If you spout nonsense again, don’t blame me for being harsh."

It was Gu Nian’s first time seeing Nan Jin Yu in action, and also the first time she realized he possessed martial arts skills and was an expert.

Beaten, Bai Yanluo awkwardly got up from the ground, his white clothes now stained with dust, feeling remorseful in his heart.

He forgot there were some things he shouldn’t mention in front of Nan Jin Yu.

Because, regarding certain matters, his hatred was even deeper.

After all, back then, he nearly...

Not daring to think further, Bai Yanluo immediately dismissed those messy thoughts from his mind.

The food box in Gu Nian’s hand had already been taken by Wuxin; seeing this, she awkwardly said, "Um, I didn’t expect Nan to have a guest, and since I’ve already brought the dishes, I’ll head back first."

Before she could turn around, she heard Nan Jin Yu say, "Not an important guest, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Sit and have some before you go?"

He knew the Lin Family was bustling at this moment; he used to enjoy being alone, but now inexplicably felt lonely.

"Hmm, alright." Perhaps it was Nan Jin Yu’s expression that influenced her, making it hard for her to refuse, "It’s just that there are too many people at home, there’s no place to sit, it’s more comfortable here with Nan."

Speaking, Gu Nian stepped forward to sit, and Wuming had already gone to fetch a bowl and chopsticks for her.

She often freeloaded meals here and was well-practiced at it.
