Qi Hong lowered her voice and said, "I don't care who you are, if you dare to harm the young master, I'll chop you up!"
Liu Lü pulled her aside and said, "Why are you making things difficult for him? The young master has his reasons for doing things. Little Seven, don't be afraid. Come, let me help you change your clothes!"
"Thank you, sister, I can do it myself!" Tang 77 instinctively shrank back.
These two older sisters are great in every way, except they really love serving people while they bathe and change clothes. It's not that Tang 77 doesn't enjoy himself, but he's just afraid of being exposed!
"I'm not used to being waited on, so I won't trouble you two sisters!" Tang 77 dismissed her two sisters, quickly changed her clothes, and came out!
"This color really suits you. Dressed like this, standing next to our young master, you look like brothers. It's just that you're a bit too thin and your face is a bit too delicate. If you wore women's clothes, you would definitely look like a charming and beautiful lady!" Qi Hong seemed to have forgotten that she had just threatened to chop someone up.
Tang 77 didn't care. Her master was just like that, unpredictable and capricious. They were exposed to this every day, so it was normal for them to act this way.
Lan Yu also changed into a different outfit, and the fabric was exactly the same as Tang 77's. Tang 77 was stunned. Were matching outfits popular these days? But how could he know that he had chosen this very set? It was a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!
Lan Yu was clearly a little surprised. He said awkwardly, "When I was getting my clothes made, I asked the tailor to make a few outfits for you as well. So you like this color too!"
Tang 77 chuckled, too lazy to pay him any attention. She didn't want to pretend to be stupid any longer, so she got straight to the point: "Young master, thank you for your hospitality these past few days. I'm leaving now!"
Lan Yu's expression froze. Did she really dislike having her around that much?
"You don't like it here?" Lan Yu asked, barely suppressing her displeasure.
"I came here to broaden my horizons, but now I'm stuck here like a little wife. Besides, I don't want to delay your business!" Tang 77's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, as if he was afraid that Lan Yu would strangle him to death. His expression was getting colder and colder, as if he would freeze everything around him in the next second!
"You really want to leave?" Lan Yu asked. "I was planning to take you out to deal with corrupt officials!"
Upon hearing this, Tang 771's desire to leave had long since vanished, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Really? Then let's go quickly!"
"Aren't you leaving?" Lan Yu asked, puzzled.
"Anyway, I'm a free person, and I'm not in a hurry. I'll just watch the show first!" Tang 77 said nonchalantly.
Lan Yu smiled slightly; he was indeed still a child.
The two boarded the carriage, and Tang 77 couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Bing, what exactly do you do?"
"What do you think I do?" Lan Yu asked in return!
"You've confused me. Are you an official or a bandit?" Tang 77 didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.
Lan Yu shook her head and said, "It's both, and it's neither!"
Tang 77 rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't want to talk, then don't. Why are you being so perfunctory!"
"How about we make a deal? You tell me how you conjure those things, and I'll tell you what I do!" Lan Yu suggested.
Tang 77 cursed inwardly, "What a clever scheme!" Then he grinned and said, "I have absolutely no interest in what you do!"
Lan Yu didn't press further, and continued, "I often find myself confused about my own identity. My father is the Lord of Lanling City, and before I was six years old, I was the happiest child in the world!"
But overnight, the city fell, my parents were killed by the rebels, and my father's personal guards risked their lives to rescue me!
Tang 77 felt a little sad. No wonder he was always so cold. With such a tragic childhood, it was only natural that he was moody.
Lan Yu didn't look at Tang 77 and continued, "For the next year, I was on the run. Then one day, the Emperor's long-awaited reinforcements arrived, the rebels were defeated, and I became the city lord. However, Lanling City was already devastated. No one took a seven-year-old child seriously. They were unscrupulous and did whatever they wanted. In order to survive and to save the people from their suffering, I would also use some extreme measures, such as plundering and extortion!"
Tang 77 realized she was really bad with words; she couldn't think of a single comforting phrase. She should have gone back to Liu Rufeng for further training.
"Are you scared?" Lan Yu asked!
Tang 77 shrugged: "No, I just suddenly understand why you're so cold. Since you're the Lord of Lanling City, why would you live in such a small place?"
"I came here to handle some matters, but unfortunately, things didn't go well. I was betrayed by a spy, and I'm so grateful that you saved me!" Lan Yu said, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.
"I'm so sorry. If I hadn't been so nosy, you wouldn't have lost contact with your people and your condition would have gotten worse. It was really an accident. I didn't mean to!" Tang 77 said sincerely.
Lan Yu laughed heartily: "It's alright, it's not the first time I've come here anyway, it's a skill in itself!"
Tang 77 didn't know what he meant by "not the first time," but she just thought he looked better when he smiled, and wished he could smile more often.
