Trying his best to suppress his rapidly beating heart, he thought for a moment and replied, "I was kidnapped by thieves and I took the opportunity to escape."
Optional answer! She didn't answer about her relationship with Gu Yunting, but she also didn't deny knowing him.
Since he didn't want to say it, Xiao Ling'er wasn't the type to pry into other people's privacy.
Instead, he changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat hostile: "Why are you following me? What is your purpose in approaching me?"
Gu Yunting answered quickly, no, a little eagerly: "There is no purpose, because you are good at martial arts."
Xiao Ling'er was stunned for a moment. Was it just for this reason?
Thinking that it was indeed after she kicked the old woman away, the little boy came close to her.
"Why don't you follow the team in front? They are stronger, aren't they?" Xiao Ling'er's tone was still not very friendly.
Gu Yunting said succinctly: "They won't let me join, what a hassle."
"He's quite self-aware and knows he's a nuisance." Xiao Ling'er replied in her heart with approval.
"Why are you so sure that I will let you join?" Xiao Ling'er continued to speak, her tone not improving at all.
Gu Yunting raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ling'er expectantly: "Let me join, and I will reward you with a lot of... silver ingots!"
"Sis, I love you so much... Let me think about it."
Xiao Ling'er didn't want to admit it. She originally wanted to refuse directly, but when she heard the word "silver ingot", she hesitated.
Although silver ingots are not as valuable as gold leaves, they are still quite a lot. One can be exchanged for 2000 wealth points. If you have a lot of silver ingots...
No, I can't be tempted and become a slave to money. This kid is too smart. If I keep him around, no secrets will be hidden.
"There are still many gold leaves." Gu Yunting noticed Xiao Ling'er's hesitant expression and anxiously threw out the bait again.
When Xiao Ling'er heard the word "gold leaf", her heart beat faster.
Ten gold leaves brought her wealth to six figures. If she got more gold leaves, wouldn't her wealth be able to reach seven figures?!
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Although this boy is smart, he still needs protection and poses no threat to her.
The secret will eventually be exposed. What she needs to do is to strengthen herself before the secret is exposed, and give herself more confidence and trump cards.
Hiding is the most incompetent thing to do. As long as she is strong enough, strong enough that everyone is afraid of her, no one will dare to attack the three of them.
Therefore, she had to make herself stronger as soon as possible so that danger would never threaten her and her two children.
The only way for her to become stronger at the moment is to earn more wealth, reputation, and evil elimination points to draw more powerful weapons.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling'er made up her mind, calmed herself down, looked at Gu Yunting and asked all the questions in one breath:
"How old are you? Where are you going? Are you going to look for your family first or go straight to your destination?"
"I am...seven years old. I am going to Jianzhou in the south and will reunite with my parents there."
Xiao Ling'er noticed that Gu Yunting paused after saying "I", and he must have lied about his age.
Maybe he was afraid that if he said he was too young, I wouldn't agree to his joining. What a clever little guy.
"My family will leave hidden signs on the road. If you can meet them soon, I will give you a generous reward."
Seeing that Xiao Ling'er hadn't said anything, Gu Yunting hurriedly made another promise.
"Let me ask you one last question. Are you good at martial arts?" Xiao Ling'er wanted to confirm her guess.
Gu Yunting answered carefully: "Yes, but I can only beat three adult men."
Gu Yunting didn't lie. After his body became smaller, his strength would decrease to only 20%. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
