"This little girl is quite interesting," Qiao Dongzi said.
Fu Yunchen replied lazily, "Let's just sell them."
"Don't... I... I'll serve you, okay? But only after I turn eighteen." Mu Run lifted the carriage curtain again, glaring angrily at Fu Yunchen.
"Hmm, I'll remember that." A wicked glint suddenly appeared on Fu Yunchen's thin lips.
Mu Run suddenly realized he'd been tricked... This guy had always been a complete villain!
...
Ever since he learned that Mu Run could drive a carriage, Qiao Dongzi had become a hands-off manager. Except for the occasional call from Fu Yunchen to come into the carriage to talk, he would always wear a straw hat, sit cross-legged, and call it "practicing martial arts."
Mu Run looked on with envy and said, "Brother Dongzi, could you teach me a couple of moves too?"
"You're already fifteen, it's too late. But you can learn some exercises to strengthen your body, do you want to learn?"
"I must learn, I must learn."
"Go learn from the old man."
"...Then forget it."
"Boss is one of the top three masters in the martial arts world, are you really not going to learn?"
"Top three?" Mu Run's eyes lit up. "Then is he third?"
"Haha, why don't you ask if I'm number one?"
"He is too young."
"Strength is not determined by age."
"That's true, but I still don't want to follow his example."
A man in the train carriage, feeling slighted, crumpled the book in his hand into dust...
...
As dusk fell, Mu Run and his companions were unable to find a village or inn to stay in, and ended up in the middle of nowhere.
Who would sleep in the carriage became a problem.
Fu Yunchen is the eldest son, and it's only natural that the eldest son should have a good place to sleep.
Mu Run is a girl, and girls are delicate. If she catches a cold, she is prone to getting sick.
"You two grown men, how dare you compete with a weak woman like me?"
Originally, neither of the two men had contested her stay, tacitly acknowledging that she would live in the carriage. But her comment only fueled Fu Yunchen's desire to tease her.
"I am your master."
"...Even a master needs to take care of his subordinates."
"Fine. You can leave now. I don't need a subordinate like you who doesn't know how to serve his master."
"No way, I haven't untied the Heart-Eating Gu yet. Once you untie it for me, I'll get lost immediately."
"It's not like I planted it for you."
"But you understand."
"Do you know that the antidote for the Heart-Eating Gu is the inner core of the mother Gu? And a mother Gu often controls hundreds of child Gu, which means that only one person infected with a child Gu can obtain the real antidote. Do you think it could be you? Or rather, hundreds of Dark Crows would have to die to cure you. Would the Imperial Cultivation Bureau agree to that?"
"...Sigh! Well then, I guess I'll just have to stay with you. Let's just survive first." Mu Run said, climbing into the carriage. "I'll sleep here. If you don't mind, you can sleep with me~"
"Okay, you wait and see," Fu Yunchen said with a smile.
Mu Run: "...!"
Qiao Dongzi would occasionally stir the fire to make it burn brighter.
He originally wanted to tease the little girl, but seeing the relaxed smile on Fu Yunchen's face that he hadn't seen for many years, he restrained himself and even observed the two of them.
"Boss, why don't we take this girl in?" he whispered to Fu Yunchen, not jokingly, but seriously.
The relaxed expression on Fu Yunchen's face vanished instantly. "What did you say?"
Qiao Dongzi quickly lowered his head, "No, I didn't say anything."
When Mu Run woke up in the middle of the night, she started dreaming...
