Xiao Ling'er swallowed unconsciously and came to the conclusion:
This man is either rich or noble. He is either a royal relative or a prince or a general. He is also a sickly royal relative or a general with a hidden illness.
Realizing this, Xiao Ling'er was secretly delighted. She blinked her eyes and looked at the man expectantly, wondering what generous reward he would give her.
Gu Yunting's face turned red when he was looked at by Xiao Ling'er's straightforward and fiery gaze. While he was surprised, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
Did this seemingly sloppy, thin and fragile girl just have sexual thoughts about him?
He could guarantee that it was definitely not his illusion. The girl looked at him with a hint of eagerness and anticipation, as if she wanted to pounce on him and eat him.
Strangely, he did not feel disgusted, but his heart beat faster.
Is it just because her eyes are pure, so pure that there is no impurity at all, and it is just simple and straightforward love and appreciation?
She was not like those women in the capital, who looked at him with disdain, disgust, conflicting affection, and sickening possession.
Everyone in the capital knew that he was a monster. His body temperature was always lower than that of ordinary people, and he needed to wear long clothes and robes even in the summer.
Whenever he went out, people would stay away from him. No one wanted to be associated with this monster, for fear of being laughed at.
While those women secretly admired his appearance, identity and status, they were also afraid of and despised him.
And when the girl saw herself wearing such thick clothes, there was no strange look in her eyes.
What a weirdo!
Indeed, she was neither as pretentious as those daughters of wealthy families, nor as ignorant and timid as the daughters of common people.
She is efficient and bold in her work. What surprised Gu Yunting the most is that she can solve the problem of choking on food, which is something that even the imperial doctors in the palace cannot do.
Xiao Ling'er looked at the man and waited for a while. She found that he was just standing there without saying anything. She could only curse him as "stingy" and turned away.
"Girl, wait a minute!" A man's voice sounded behind her.
Xiao Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she tried her best to suppress the upward curve of her mouth. She turned to look at the man and asked pretentiously, "Sir, is there anything else?"
Gu Yunting noticed Xiao Ling'er's shining eyes and the corners of her mouth that had not yet retracted, and a barely perceptible smile appeared in her eyes.
Xiao Ling'er's eyes followed the movements of the man's hands. When she noticed that his hand slowly reached into his arms, the expectant and excited look in her eyes could hardly be concealed.
Gu Yunting just found it a little funny that this girl was so obsessed with money.
He didn't feel disgusted at all, but rather found it somewhat cute.
Gu Yunting looked around and found that many refugees had gathered around.
He deliberately slowed down his movements until the little girl was about to show an expression of impatience, then he took out a purple badge and handed it to her.
"master?"
"master?"
Gu Bei and Gu Nan exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Gu Yunting raised his hand slightly.
Gu Bei and Gu Nan kept silent under the fierce intimidation of their master, but their eyes were still fixed on the badge in Xiao Ling'er's hand.
"Miss, could you please tell me your name? And if you're willing, you can come with us south. I promise to protect you and your family.
If you don't want to, you can come to Jianzhou with this badge if you have any difficulties in the future. My surname is Gu, and my name is Yunting."
As the man spoke, he glanced in the direction of Xiao Yuhao and Mu Xiya who were hiding behind a big tree.
Xiao Ling'er knew that the man had discovered her brother and mother's hiding place. She was not at all panicked and took the badge gracefully.
