"Hua Bao, hold your head high. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we feel guilty?"
Mo Lan turned her head and glanced at her, unable to resist curving her lips into a slight smile.
"As for staying at an inn, I think that's a bit risky. Look at the way things are now, I'm afraid no inn would dare to let us stay."
Mo Lan gripped the pointer, her eyes deep and unfathomable as she looked at the passersby who avoided her like the plague. To offend the Chen family and cause such fear was a testament to how arrogant the Chen family was in Ye County.
But she didn't regret teaching Chen Bawang a lesson.
"I understand, Miss. Hua Bao won't embarrass you." With that, Hua Bao mustered her courage and bravely raised her head.
The young lady is right. They didn't do anything wrong, so why should they feel embarrassed?
"Fighting in the street, whether you're in the right or not, is never right."
As they were talking, Tingyu, dressed in red, suddenly walked up to Molan and looked at her with a big smile.
"Girl, we meet again."
Mo Lan glanced at him but didn't answer. Just seeing this person made her teeth ache; he was too clingy and annoying.
Tingyu was rebuffed, but instead of feeling ashamed, he was already very grateful that people had even bothered to look at him.
"Young lady, what do you plan to do next? If you need my help, just say the word. I'll go through fire and water for you..."
"No need." The prediction was right; annoying and talkative.
“How can we not use it? We are allies after all, and repaying kindness is our young master’s principle. Why are you so distant, young lady?” Tingyu waved her hand, looking sincere and righteous.
“We’re not familiar with each other, let alone allies.” Mo Lan stopped and frowned slightly as she watched Ting Yu’s endless chatter.
Her intuition told her that she absolutely could not get involved with Qin Su and his group.
Listening to the Rain: "..."
Are girls these days so cold?
Taking advantage of Tingyu's momentary daze, Molan quickly led Huabao into an alley and left the main street.
After wandering around for a while, they not only shook off Tingyu, that clingy person, but also got rid of the several pairs of eyes that were secretly watching them.
After choosing a quiet alley, Mo Lan stopped and, looking at the panting Hua Bao, couldn't help but suggest...
"How about I take you out of the city first?"
"Miss, did Hua Bao hold you back?" Hua Bao lowered her head in embarrassment, looking quite dejected, after hearing Mo Lan's suggestion.
“It’s really difficult to deal with you since you have no fighting skills. I don’t know how many people the Chen family will send to seek revenge. If they can’t protect you, you’ll be the one who suffers if you get hurt.”
Mo Lan looked at the little girl in front of her, raised her hand and patted her shoulder.
"If you don't want to be a burden in the future, go back and train with Xiong Da and Xiong Er. When you can stand on your own, it's not too late to come out and train with me."
"But Miss, what if Hua Bao returns to the mountain stronghold alone late at night and the chief and young master ask about it?"
If they knew that the young lady was in danger in Ye County, they would definitely come down the mountain.
Hearing Hua Bao's worries, Mo Lan blinked. This was indeed a problem. Given Hua Yifei's doting nature towards his daughter, he certainly wouldn't let it go unchecked.
When bandits come down from the mountains, no matter what their intentions are, the government will not let them go unpunished. At that point, it will no longer be as simple as a personal grudge.
"Boss, I have an idea. You find an abandoned courtyard, and I'll summon a few ghosts to protect it."
Just as Mo Lan was deep in thought, the tomb spirit within the mandala spoke.
