Hua Changle was startled by this suddenly appearing "uncle" and didn't react for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she looked at the face that wasn't much older than Hua Qingyun's, and she just couldn't bring herself to call him "Uncle".
The key point is, their relationship isn't at the point where they can address each other as elders and juniors, is it?
She was so embarrassed that her face contorted into a "囧" shape.
Lu Yanhuai chuckled and said understandingly, "It's alright, call me whatever you like."
"Mr. Lu..."
Hua Changle chose a conventional and foolproof name.
"I've heard everything from Xiaobai... Hua... Thank you for your help, Mr. Lu."
"It's nothing serious. Since you're here as a guest, I can't let anything happen to you while you're a guest. That would be a disservice to me, Lu Yanhuai."
Hua Changle was secretly amazed. He hadn't expected that this Wolf Lord was not only gentle in appearance, but also so approachable in personality. It was completely inconsistent with his title!
Lu Yanhuai then said, "I heard from Crow that Miss Chang Le came this time because of Wan Yi's painting?"
"That's right, I do have something to discuss with the painting, and I'd like to meet with Miss Lu."
"The crow has gone to pick someone up. It will be here to meet you in a little while."
Lu Yanhuai touched the beaded string, took a step back, and said:
"Alright, now that I know you're alright, I won't bother you any longer. Rest a little longer, and later there will be medicine or a treatment chamber; you can choose whichever you prefer. The doctor and Little White Flower will take care of you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Thank you for your trouble."
Lu Yanhuai left the room, and Little White Flower and Big White, who had been standing by the wall, came closer again.

On the other side, Crow was driving a hovercar carrying Lu Wanyi toward the manor in the Gray Domain.
Lu Wanyi was in her thirties, with long, flowing hair that had pretty curls at the ends. She was beautiful, with delicately shaped eyebrows and wore light makeup.
Wearing a long beach-style dress in yellow and blue, which complements the amber necklace, she exudes an artistic beauty.
The crow glanced at himself in the mirror and saw that Lu Wanyi looked unwell. Ever since he finished recounting the day's events, Lu Wanyi had only ever had this expression.
The crow was puzzled. He didn't remember how close Miss Wanyi and Chang Le were. Why did Miss Wanyi seem both angry and worried when she heard something bad about her?
He dared not delay and drove back to the manor as fast as he could, ensuring his safety along the way.
——
The effects of the medicine wore off quickly. After enduring the pain and itching of the rapid bone healing, Hua Changle was able to move around normally, though she still couldn't engage in strenuous activity.
The skin wounds have all healed, but some of the deeper ones inevitably left scars.
She sweated as the medicine took effect, and after washing up, she changed into the new clothes that Xiaobaihua had brought her.
When she first woke up, her mind was completely blank, and Hua Changle didn't think about it carefully at all.
Now that she's more clear-headed, she suddenly realized something.
"Rabbit, did the original owner know the Wolf Faction?"
Why ask this?
"Don't tell me you can't tell."
Little White Flower, her attitude towards me was nothing like that of someone who treats a stranger;
"Something's not right with Wolf Lord Lu Yanhuai either. Would a regional leader speak softly to a stranger, even going to the trouble of helping her process her thoughts? It's highly illogical."
【Maybe……】
"I don't want to hear your excuses. Let me finish speaking first."
"The second point of doubt is your, Anning's, and Second Brother's attitudes toward my coming to District Nine."
Resistance, fear, worry. It's as if coming to District Nine is like entering some kind of demonic abyss from which there is no return. You didn't even have this strong reaction back in the secret realm.
That's not right.
"Finally, it was Lei Mu who spoke."
He said that I often appeared with Ye Buqi.
However, Ye Buqi does not exist in the original work; after I came here, Ye Buqi only appeared twice.
When and where did Lei Mu mean by "frequently"?
All of this points to one truth—
I, or rather Hua Changle, have a secret connection with District Nine.
"However, this part of the plot is completely absent from the original work I read."
"Bunny, now, what else do you want to say?"
[...]
422 did not respond.
"Then let me ask you a different question. The so-called original work is the original work you want me to see, right? What percentage of it is true?"
422 seemed to sigh:
[There's no point in making excuses anymore. It's true, I modified parts of the original story so that the memories you received from the original owner weren't entirely accurate.]
"What's going on with District Nine?"
[...You lived in District 9 for a period of time when you were a child.]
"What? Didn't Hua Changle grow up in the Hua family all along?"
[Not really]
"What exactly happened?"
I cannot answer this.
Why can't you answer?
Those are irrelevant memories, and they will affect your focus on winning over the group's favorite.
My task is to make you the group's darling and gain more love. Other plot points unrelated to the task can be ignored.
Hua Changle frowned, feeling as if a fire was burning inside her. It was making her anxious, yet she couldn't vent it.
She suddenly let out a short laugh:
"Bunny, I suddenly feel..."
Of the three of you, only Lei Mu, who wanted to kill me, told the truth; only his words I can completely trust.
I would never hurt you!
“I didn’t say you would hurt me. You said you wanted me to be loved. You were very good to me. But…”
"This does not contradict the fact that you deceived me."
As Hua Changle wearily uttered these words, she suddenly felt an invisible chasm appear between the two who were once so close.
