Chapter 10 Sincerity Should Not Be Treated Casually
"Ren'er, we're leaving for the Wuya tribe tomorrow. What are your plans for today?"
Nie Mufeng asked softly after Xu Ren'er tasted the delicious dishes he made.
Xu Ren'er gave him a strange look and replied, "Practicing martial arts with my friends as usual."
After she finished speaking, Xu Ren'er waited for Nie Mufeng's next question, but unexpectedly, Nie Mufeng just stood there motionless, staring at her with his unfocused eyes.
Xu Ren'er waited for a long time and finally realized Nie Mufeng's purpose.
"You want me to take you to practice?"
Nie Mufeng smiled without saying anything, just nodded slightly, confirming Xu Ren'er's idea.
Xu Ren'er suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She pondered for a moment and politely refused:
"My companions and I have always been very serious in our martial arts training. I'm afraid we might accidentally affect you. Why don't you just give up?"
Nie Mufeng said nothing, just looked at Xu Ren'er quietly. What he wanted to express was very clear: he was determined to rely on her!
Xu Ren'er sighed helplessly:
If Nie Mufeng was an adult, she would have rejected him sternly long ago.
But Nie Mufeng was only fifteen years old, about the same age as her three friends, and was completely a minor. Although people in ancient times were relatively precocious, she still couldn't objectively treat Nie Mufeng as an adult.
Xu Ren'er had no choice but to admit defeat:
"Okay! If you really want to go, I just hope you don't regret it."
——
Xu Ren'er and his friends practice martial arts, and their attack range is always very large.
But this is not in the wilderness after all, so Xu Ren'er and the others can only restrain themselves a little, put away their weapons, and just practice their boxing and kicking skills.
However, even if it is just fist and foot skills, the power is also not small. Sometimes if you are not careful, the internal force will easily cause damage.
Because of some minor incidents regarding dining with Nie Erfeng and his sister, Xu Ren'er wasted some time. When she arrived at the martial arts training ground, Tang Qiuyue and the others had already started training.
The martial arts training ground is still inside the Haogui Building.
All facilities in Haogui Tower are very complete. Perhaps because Juzi Country has a culture of martial arts practice among all the people, Haogui Tower has a special martial arts training ground, which is provided free of charge to all guests who need to practice martial arts.
The martial arts training ground in Haoguilou is very large. Considering that guests need privacy, each venue is far apart and it takes a long walk to reach the destination.
There are about thirty venues, and the number is limited. Reservations can only be made on the same day. The earlier you make a reservation, the greater the chance of making one.
The others were fine, but Tang Beiju was very passionate about martial arts. With Tang Beiju around, there was no need to worry about not being able to grab a spot.
Xu Ren'er believed that he would be the first to arrive at the martial arts training ground and would be able to help them get the best training place.
Of course, since everyone in Juzi Country practices martial arts, naturally there will be people who, like Tang Beiju, have their eyes on the same good training grounds at the same time.
However, the unspoken rule in the underworld is that whoever has the bigger fist is right and has the advantage.
And in this world, Xu Ren'er thought, there should be few people in this world whose abilities can match Tang Beiju's.
"Why did you bring him here?"
When Tang Qiuyue saw Nie Mufeng, she immediately stopped practicing, walked quickly to Xu Ren'er, looked at Nie Mufeng and asked.
As soon as she asked the question, Tang Qiuyue suddenly realized that what she said seemed to exclude the other party, and she immediately wanted to explain that she had no ill intentions.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Nie Mufeng took out a piece of wrapped cloth from his sleeve, and in front of Tang Qiuyue, he opened it little by little, and eight sesame cakes appeared in front of Tang Qiuyue.
"I asked Ren'er to bring me here. Exercise is always physically demanding and makes you feel hungry easily.
These are some pastries I made specially. I added some medicinal herbs to relieve fatigue, but the taste is not bitter, but slightly sweet.
After you finish practicing, you can eat a little.
It’s just a small token of my appreciation, I hope you like the cakes I made.”
These simple and caring words made Tang Qiuyue feel a little embarrassed.
She tilted her head and scratched the back of her head, feeling a little overwhelmed.
After thinking about it, she simply shouted in the direction of Mo Youli and Tang Beiju, asking them to stop and inviting them to come over and taste the snacks made by Nie Mufeng.
"We just had breakfast not long ago, why are you calling us over for cakes?"
Mo Youli and Tang Beiju withdrew their hands, walked towards Tang Qiuyue, and asked with a puzzled look on their faces.
"Oh! Why are you asking so many questions? It's good enough to have something to eat. Here! This is a pastry made by Nie Mufeng himself. Try it. Is it delicious?"
After she finished speaking, Tang Qiuyue said nothing and didn't give them any chance to react. She stuffed one into their mouths in each hand.
Mo Youli and Tang Beiju were helpless. They glared at Tang Qiuyue, but still put the food in their mouths and chewed it slowly.
Unexpectedly, after just two bites, the next moment, their eyes suddenly lit up and they said in unison:
“How can it be so delicious?!”
Tang Qiuyue narrowed her eyes and stared at the two of them with half-belief and half-doubt, carefully observing their facial expressions, not missing a single detail.
After making sure that the two people were not deceiving her and that the food must be truly delicious, Tang Qiuyue carefully picked up a small piece and took a light bite.
Tang Qiuyue was shocked:
"Oh my god! How can it be so delicious!"
Seeing that the three of them were full of praise for his food, Nie Mufeng lowered his head slightly and smiled with pursed lips.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Xu Ren'er's soul is pure and noble, so the souls of her friends who can get along with her for a long time and become her partners will naturally not be too bad.
Although it cannot completely compare to Xu Ren'er, it is also pure white and sparkling.
Of course, his purpose in making this plate of pastries was not simply to verify the purity of the souls of Xu Rener and his companions.
He has eyes, and the good or evil of the soul cannot escape his eyes.
His real purpose is to gain the favor of partners like Xu Ren'er, which will help him in his pursuit.
"If it's delicious, then eat more. I have plenty here. If it's not enough, you can always ask me to make it for you."
Nie Mufeng said in a gentle voice.
Mo Youli, Tang Beiju and Tang Qiuyue looked at each other for a few seconds, and then looked at him together.
Tang Beiju frowned slightly, stepped forward and politely declined:
"This isn't good. How can I bother you to start a fight just for our little verbal desire..."
Nie Mufeng shook his head and said with a smile:
"Don't worry too much. Meeting is fate. I get along well with you all. You don't have to treat me as an outsider."
If possible, it would be best to treat him as Xu Rener's lover.
Except for Xu Ren'er, the three people looked at each other. Mo Youli and Tang Beiju thought of what happened last night and obviously guessed Nie Mufeng's thoughts. They looked at Xu Ren'er with their eyes narrowed.
Ren'er, it seems like he really wants to pursue you!
Xu Ren'er noticed the looks between the two of them. After years of friendship, he naturally knew what they were thinking and could only hold his forehead helplessly.
She felt that she had encountered a disaster this year, and it seemed that she needed to find a time to talk things over with Nie Mufeng.
Tang Qiuyue looked left and right, her big eyes rolling around. She seemed to sense that something was wrong in the air, and she didn't dare to speak at all.
No one told Tang Qiuyue what happened last night.
It’s not that they don’t want to tell Tang Qiuyue, but mainly because Nie Mufeng’s pursuit is so shocking that they have no idea how to describe it to Tang Qiuyue.
So Tang Qiuyue was unaware of this. She just had a vague feeling that Nie Mufeng seemed to have a purpose towards them, but there was no malice in it.
"Everyone, please continue practicing martial arts. There's not much space here. If others see us occupying the space and not moving, they might find trouble with the staff here."
Xu Ren'er looked around and saw that several passers-by had already glanced at them several times, eyeing the space they occupied. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Ren'er hurriedly said.
"What about him?"
Tang Qiuyue glanced at Nie Mufeng and asked.
"Don't worry about me, I'll just watch from the side."
Nie Mufeng responded without waiting for Xu Ren'er to answer.
——
Nie Mufeng stood under a tree not far away. The breeze gently blew across the thin veil on his face, and the veil swayed in the wind. He had fair skin and a thin figure. From a distance, he looked invisibly fragile and beautiful.
"Ren'er, have you figured out how to solve this?"
Xu Ren'er and his group practiced for almost an hour, and Nie Mufeng also stood quietly under the tree for an hour, motionless and silent the whole time, perfectly blending into nature without causing any trouble to anyone.
During a break in martial arts training, Mo Youli gave Tang Qiuyue and Tang Beiju a look.
The two men immediately understood and walked towards Nie Mufeng to talk to him. While tasting the sesame cake brought by Nie Mufeng, they praised his craftsmanship and asked him for the secret recipe of making the sesame cake.
Mo Youli nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Nie Mufeng's attention was diverted, Mo Youli slowly walked to Xu Ren'er.
"How do you plan to deal with him? I haven't observed him very closely, but I can sense that his feelings for you are completely genuine. I think I'm not the only one who feels this way. Beiju and Qiuyue should have noticed it too."
Xu Ren'er was confused. She was silent for a moment before she slowly said:
"After we resolve the drug-hunting issue, I'll find a chance to explain it to him."
"I advise you to hurry."
Mo Youli turned his gaze towards Nie Mufeng, his eyes were complex and mixed with a hint of tenderness. He continued to advise:
"It would be a good thing for him to cut the Gordian knot before his feelings for you get too deep and he falls too deeply in love with you."
If Nie Mufeng's motives in pursuing Xu Ren'er were impure, and he was attracted to something in Xu Ren'er and tried to harm her, then that would be easy to solve. They would always find a way to deal with him.
However, Nie Mufeng has a sincere heart. You know, in this world, sincerity is the only thing that should not be treated casually.
Thinking of this, Mo Youli looked at Xu Ren'er with eyes full of sympathy and pity.
Mo Youli: "It's hard for you."
He could probably guess why Xu Ren'er was in trouble.
It was because Xu Ren'er was smart enough to see that Nie Mufeng was sincere, so she hesitated and could not refuse him immediately. Instead, she thought about how to deal with Nie Mufeng in a more gentle way.
Xu Ren'er knew what Mo Youli meant, and he pulled up the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile, and said softly:
"It's okay, it just takes a little more attention. Believe me, I can handle it."
