Yu Zhan asked, "Where did those balls you threw out yesterday come from?"
Lin Xiuyan was too lazy to answer.
Yu Zhan then asked, "Who made that mechanism you're holding?"
Lin Xiuyan turned to the side.
Yu Zhan curled his lip and continued, "The range of those bows in Ye Junfei's hands far surpasses that of ordinary small bows. Was that your doing too?"
Lin Xiuyan started snoring.
Yu Zhan continued, "If I'm not mistaken, all of these things are related to you."
"Think about it, you have weapons and money, I have people, aren't we the perfect partners?"
"As long as we cooperate well, with our brains, even if we don't become emperors, we can at least conquer a large area of land and become wealthy landowners."
Lin Xiuyan's snoring grew even louder.
Yu Zhan lay down beside her and said, "Think about this carefully! It really works!"
Lin Xiuyan was not surprised at all to hear her words, because Yu Zhan had said the same thing to her in her previous life.
Lin Xiuyan had no interest in power; all she wanted in her life was to protect the safety of her loved ones.
Protecting their safety doesn't mean having more power, because having too much power means greater danger.
However, she wasn't completely unmoved by what Yu Zhan said; being appropriately strong was the safest way to protect herself.
Even if she were to seek a partner, she certainly wouldn't choose the belligerent Yu Zhan.
Moreover, once war breaks out, no one can remain aloof like a wealthy landowner.
She also knew that Yu Zhan's offer to cooperate with her was both a test and a test of her skills, as well as a reflection of the tricks she had displayed in front of him.
Perhaps because of what happened during the day, Lin Xiuyan dreamed about her past life again that night:
One moment it's the horrific scene of Lin Yunzhi's death, the next it's the scene of Qu Shuangyue being angered to death by her, and then it's the scene of Xu Qianting having his hands and feet chopped off and being put into a jar.
Ye Junfei, his eyes gleaming with crimson light, gripped her neck and said, "Even if I have to go to hell, I'll drag you down with me!"
Lin Xiuyan struggled desperately, and she heard Mie Yuzhan's voice in her ear: "Lin Xiuyan, wake up!"
Lin Xiuyan opened her eyes, looked at Yu Zhan beside her, and was stunned for a moment.
It was just dawn, and Xiao Bao was still fast asleep.
Lin Xiuyan breathed heavily for a few moments. Yu Zhan poured her a glass of water and asked with some curiosity, "What nightmare did you have?"
Lin Xiuyan did not answer, but took the water and drank it all in one gulp.
Yu Zhan asked with a gossipy look, "You kept shouting in your dream, 'Let them go, you're willing to die in their place.' Who are they?"
Lin Xiuyan held the cup, exhaled a few breaths of stale air, and ignored him.
Yu Zhan chuckled and said, "I always thought that a spoiled and willful young lady like you was born to be pampered and never had any troubles."
"And with the abilities you displayed when you fought me yesterday, there's nothing in this world that can trouble or frighten you."
"But now it seems that's not the case; you seem to have quite a few worries."
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "You don't need to try to trick me. No matter how much information I revealed in my dream last night, it was just a nightmare."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Zhan and said, "Everyone thinks that General Yu, who is fearless, also has a weakness?"
This time, Yu Zhan wasn't angry; instead, he laughed and said, "Everyone has a weakness."
"If a person has no attachments in this world, how can they prove that they have truly lived and walked through this world?"
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised to hear this, and her gaze towards Yu Zhan softened.
At this moment, the morning light gently shone on Yu Zhan's face, softening her features.
Yu Zhan is not the kind of woman who is delicate and pretty; both her temperament and facial features exude a sharp and fierce aura.
At this moment, her features softened, and Lin Xiuyan realized that she actually had delicate features, but they were hidden by the sharpness she usually exuded.
Lin Xiuyan asked, "Do you regret it?"
Her words were somewhat ambiguous, but Yu Zhan knew what she was asking and laughed, "What's there to regret?"
"When I slept with him back then, it was really great. I experienced that feeling myself."
"Since you crave that feeling, you must bear the consequences after you've had your fun."
She mingled with men all year round, and in the army, a group of roughnecks would often gather together and tell jokes, and she had no taboos about it at all.
Her words were not just crude, but also revealed an indescribable clarity and nonchalance.
But Lin Xiuyan could hear a hint of blood and tears in her words.
No matter how much blood and tears Yu Zhan shed for that man back then, as long as she doesn't regret it, then in her heart, that relationship was worthwhile.
Lin Xiuyan sighed softly, a hint of warmth appearing in her eyes: "You're right."
Yu Zhan's lips curled slightly as he winked at Lin Xiuyan: "Could it be that the young master didn't satisfy you last night? Didn't you enjoy yourself?"
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?
Yu Zhan added, "This shouldn't be! The marks left on your body are enough to show that the young master is very capable in that area. You two were quite intense!"
Lin Xiuyan, unable to bear it any longer, shouted: "Get out!"
Yu Zhan laughed heartily, crossed his arms, and looked at Lin Xiuyan: "Are you troubled by love?"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at her sideways: "None of your business!"
She wasn't exactly heartbroken, but the trauma she suffered in her past life was too great, and she hadn't figured out how to get along with Ye Junfei yet.
Seeing Yu Zhan like this, a ray of light shone into her heart, which had been shrouded in gloom.
This life is not the same as the past life. She has changed too many things. At least now, Zhou Chenyang can no longer cause any trouble.
And her relationship with Ye Junfei was no longer as hostile as it had been in her previous life.
Even though Ye Junfei still retains a cruel streak in his bones, at least he is no longer the madman who killed indiscriminately in his previous life.
If she tries her best, she still has a chance to protect the people she cares about.
She said to Yu Zhan earnestly, "Thank you."
Yu Zhan chuckled softly: "Thank me for what?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Thank you for telling me what happened. Whether it was pleasurable or painful, it was my own choice at the time."
"If you don't regret it then, you won't regret it later, because the road is always forward, not backward."
Yu Zhan tilted his head slightly and looked at her, saying, "You're only sixteen or seventeen years old, why do you talk so maturely?"
"This tune sounds like it comes from an old woman who has experienced many hardships!"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at Yu Zhan sideways, but offered no explanation.
In her previous life, she lived much longer than Yu Zhan is now, and she experienced life and death, deception, and all sorts of scheming.
Having been reborn, she usually keeps a low profile in front of others. However, after experiencing almost the same thing as in her previous life last night, she couldn't control her emotions and finally revealed her true colors.
She never expected that the first person to see her true feelings would be Yu Zhan.
She was considering whether to kill him to silence him.
