Chapter 13 Who wouldn’t be confused?

When she was told to pierce the snake's vital point, she just dug into the snake's belly and took out its gallbladder.

He was afraid that she was seriously injured or died, so he called her name, but she thought he was too noisy.

Huo Gannian was very unhappy.

Especially at this moment, seeing Yun Chen sitting by the fire happily roasting snake gall, his heartless look made him feel even more angry.

He was angry, but he didn't say it and just kept a cold face.

The undercurrent swept the two of them to this water island. Yun Chen looked around and found that there was indeed no one living there.

Estimating that it would take Ye Yan and the others some time to find him, Yun Chen found a dry cave and settled Huo Gannian there.

She was so focused on roasting the snake gall that she didn't notice how cold his expression was.

"Look, young master, this snake's gall is so big! My master used to roast snake gall for me to eat. The bigger the snake, the bigger its gall. But it's too old, not as tender as a young snake's gall."

She would apply a kind of herb she found in the woods on the snake gall, blow on the roasted snake gall carefully, and hand it to him.

The snake gall bladder coated with vanilla has no fishy smell and exudes a mouth-watering meaty aroma.

As her eyes sparkled with anticipation, he took the snake gall, took two bites, and hummed softly as a token of his approval.

She grinned and ran to fiddle with the fire.

She made the fire burn very brightly, moved him closer to the fire, helped him dry his clothes, then found a white stone the size of a fist and began to chisel the stone with a knife.

She looked serious as she hollowed out the middle of the stone bit by bit.

He saw that the entire blade of the dagger was curled up, which was caused by the fight with the water python just now.

If such a hard blade has become like this, what about the person who wields the knife?

He couldn't help but look at her carefully. He saw that she was covered with wounds from head to toe. The hand holding the knife was covered with bloody wounds, and the palm of her hand was even cracked.

His anger had mostly subsided, and he asked:

"what are you up to?"

She raised her head, her eyes as clear as a deer's were smiling, and said:

"Carve a cup and make tea for the young master."

Looking at the "young man"'s innocence and frankness, without any flattery at all, Huo Gannian felt as if the tip of his heart was gently stirred by a brand new flame.

His Adam's apple moved, but he didn't say anything. However, his eyes softened unconsciously, and he thought to himself:

With such a good guy as a bodyguard, who wouldn’t be confused?

He began to wonder whether he should promote her to be a personal guard. She hadn't even passed the probation period yet. Wouldn't it be too fast?

Plus there's the matter of the cat assassin.

He had recognized her from her flying kicks during the fight in the bamboo forest, and he also recognized the cat in her hand from the day bathing room.

He never exposed her and even asked her to find an assassin, just to test her character.

It seems that she cares about her brothers in the Huo Gang, and does not kill innocent people or harm Mao'er, nor does she lie to him to take credit. She only knows how to make things difficult for herself. She is definitely not a cunning and profit-seeking person. She is even more kind-hearted than he had expected when he first saw her.

In this dirty and noisy world, it seemed like he had seen someone like Yun Chen for the first time, as pure and white as the snow on the top of a mountain.

Completely unaware of what was going on in Huo Gannian's mind beneath his calm face, Yun Chen carved a cup, went to the woods to find some young bamboos, picked some tender leaves, and used a stone cup instead of a kettle to brew a cup of tea for him.

He held the warm teacup, drank it bit by bit, and felt warm all over.

She seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped her thigh in frustration, walked over and hugged him, turning his body the other way:

"I almost forgot to flip it over. That side is almost done. Let's grill this side."

After that, she would help him "turn over" every once in a while.

When she turned around with him in her arms, he suddenly remembered what Hua Jue had shouted, "Master! He covets your beauty!"

Although Ye Yan had already found out the whole story later, proving that Yun Chen was not the Rabbit Lord and there was no such thing as a good relationship between Long Yang.

But Huo Gannian suddenly felt like playing a prank and wanted to tease her, so when she turned him over again, he deliberately leaned forward slightly and his chin brushed past her ear.

Seeing that she didn't react at all and just lowered her head to help him tidy up his clothes, he was a little disappointed.

The next moment, he noticed that her entire ear was red, as if it was about to drip blood.

Seeing her pretending to be calm despite being thin-skinned, he almost laughed out loud.

He really didn't know what was wrong with him. Whenever he saw her, he wanted to curse and laugh at the same time.

Ever since his leg became disabled, his heart has been as depressed as stagnant water, making him unwilling to even speak.

He is used to hiding everything behind a cold face.

But Yun Chen was like a joyful little bird, pecking at the ice surface again and again, sometimes annoyed him, sometimes made him angry, and sometimes tickled him to make him laugh.

It seemed difficult for him to maintain a gloomy expression.

He thought about it carefully, probably because from the first time he met him, to knowing that he had disabled legs, to joining the Huo Gang and respecting him as "Young Master".

She never showed him a trace of sympathy, flattery, or awe from beginning to end.

She neither sympathized with his disability nor feared him as the high and mighty young master of the Huo Gang.

She treated him equally as she treated everyone around her.

The "Young Master" that came out of her mouth was the same as when she called "Ye Yan" and "Xiao Liu".

It is this kind of calmness that makes him feel very comfortable and at ease.

Seeing that he kept looking at her with gentle eyes but didn't say anything, she felt a little uncomfortable. She reached out and touched her face and said:

"Master, do you like my face...skin?"

He chuckled, then calmed down and asked seriously:

"Why did you join the Guardian profession?"

After a long silence, she replied, "To repay a favor."

He was stunned. "What favor?"

She seemed to recall something, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

"I want to find and repay the favor of saving my mother."

He quickly searched his mind, but could not recall saving a woman.

It turns out that she already has a benefactor.

It turned out that she could treat him normally because she had never thought of recognizing him as her master.

He felt a little regretful, with a hint of sourness that was hard to dispel.

"You are willing to join the Huo Gang because you want me to help you find your benefactor if there is a chance in the future, right?" he asked again.

She nodded.

She had no interest in joining the Huo Gang and risking her life for an unrelated master.

But that day in the bamboo forest, Xun Jian whispered to her: "The Huo Gang has many people, great power, and many spies. Maybe they can help you find your benefactor." Only then did she agree.

He sighed softly, as if he was about to watch a piece of fine jade slip away from his hands.

"Tell me what your benefactor looks like and I will help you find him," he said.

Surprisingly, she didn't say anything, but kept her mouth shut and looked at him hesitantly.

He instantly understood what she was thinking and couldn't help but laugh:

"You're afraid that if you explain it too clearly, I might find your benefactor. What if he's an enemy of the Huo Gang? That would be terrible, right?"

On the road to becoming the richest man in Nan Country, the Huo Gang was aggressive and aggressive, and acted ruthlessly. They had more enemies than stones in the river.

It was normal for her to worry that the benefactor she would eventually find would be the enemy of the Huo Gang.

Seeing her somewhat embarrassed expression, he stopped asking and said casually:

"If you find your benefactor, what will you do?"

She looked at him with clear eyes, unblinking, and answered softly:

"I will follow you through life and death, and protect you with my life. No matter where he goes, I will protect him."

The echo of the two light words shook the heavy mountain walls.

Huo Gannian was stunned at first, and then his heart ached, and he felt a sense of jealousy for no reason.

His eyes darkened slightly. "Perhaps your benefactor is already dead. Perhaps you will never find him again in your lifetime. Have you ever thought about this?"

She seemed to have thought about this question thousands of times before and answered calmly:

"If he dies, I'll guard his grave. If I can't find him, I'll search for him forever. That's it."

In short, I will never have two lovers in this life. In short, I have already given my life away in this life.

Such a guard, no matter how superb his martial arts skills are or how excellent his character is, is destined not to become anyone's personal bodyguard.

No master would dare to employ a personal guard who has other masters in mind, and in the guarding industry, having other masters in mind is the most taboo and despised thing.

Because such people are the least reliable, you never know when she will find her benefactor and turn the sword against you in order to repay the favor.

He felt the stone cup in his hand slowly cool down, bringing with it a burst of coolness.

After a long time, he spoke again:

"I will help you find the benefactor who saved your mother, but don't tell these words to anyone else."

After hearing this, she smiled happily, "Thank you, young master!"

He lowered his eyes and didn't look at her. He drank the cold tea sip by sip and stopped talking.
