After a long silence, Su Yi chuckled and said, "I once saved your life, but I never saw you want to be with me! Even if we're not together, you still find ways to annoy me every day!"
"Besides, Nangong Min was originally your guard. It was his duty to risk his life to save you! And you agreed to be with him for that reason? Your pity is just too inexplicable."
Every word Su Yi spoke was filled with jealousy and anger. He was angry at Mu Jin for her excessive pity, and also angry at himself for not discovering sooner that Mu Jin was going to leave the capital, giving Nangong Min an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
He said this largely to comfort himself; he admitted that he was jealous of Nangong Min, so jealous that he was almost insane.
Mu Jin didn't think she was indulging in unwarranted pity. All people are equal; Nangong Min treated her with such sincerity, how could she ignore it?
However, she was too lazy to explain these things to Su Yi and just talked to herself.
“In the cave, Min told me how much his grandmother loved him, and that she would definitely bless us if she knew we were together. I joked with him that if his grandmother could truly bless me to be with him, then I would never leave him.”
Su Yi sneered and said, "The old lady is now eager to take Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er to their bridal chamber. You don't need to wait for the old lady's blessing anymore. You can come down the mountain with me now and leave."
Mu Jin glared at Su Yi angrily, gritting her teeth and saying, "I don't need you to remind me of that. I'm not blind! How could I not see that the old lady in the hall was trying her best to stop Min from announcing that I was with him in front of everyone?"
Su Yi stood up urgently, grabbed Mu Jin's hand, and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Come on, let's go down the mountain now, and I'll take you sightseeing. Don't stay here and deal with these troublesome things!"
Mu Jin broke free from Su Yi's grasp, sat up straight, and said, "Although I told Min that I needed his grandmother's blessing before we could truly be together, it's just..."
"But what? Why so many 'buts'? Nangong Min hasn't come to see you for so long, it must be because the old lady doesn't want you two to be together. Nangong Min doesn't know how to face you, so he's hiding!"
The thought that Mu Jin really still intended to be with Nangong Min made Su Yi wish he could immediately tie Mu Jin up and take her down the mountain.
Mu Jin ignored Su Yi: "That was just a joke between Min and me. Since I have already promised to be with him, why do I need anyone else's permission?"
“I will wait for him here and find out if he still wants to come with me. If he can’t, I won’t hate him. He must have his reasons. If he is willing to come with me, then I will never abandon him just because others don’t agree.”
Hearing Mu Jin's words, Su Yi's brows throbbed with anger, but he was helpless against Mu Jin, so he could only retort harshly.
"Nangong Min won't go with you. He'll stay and inherit the position of sect leader of the Nangong Divine Sect, then marry Bai Ling'er, have a bunch of kids, and you'll have to give their children red envelopes during the New Year. It'll drive you crazy!"
"you!"
Hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin felt an uncontrollable surge of anger. She stood up abruptly, glared at him, pointed towards the door, and said coldly, "Get out!"
Seeing Mu Jin's annoyed expression, Su Yi's lips curled into a sneer. He remained seated, even deliberately turning his face away, pretending to be too lazy to pay attention to Mu Jin.
Seeing this, Mu Jin's anger intensified. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and launched a rapid attack on Su Yi, throwing a powerful punch at him. Su Yi dodged to the side, quickly stood up, and with a turn, was several steps away from Mu Jin.
"You woman! We were talking so nicely, why did you lay a hand on me again? Let me tell you, if you do this again, I won't be polite to you."
"Don't be polite, my foot! I'm going to hit you!"
Mu Jin clenched her fist again and charged at Su Yi once more.
The two men exchanged punches and kicks, fighting fiercely in the small courtyard.
Although Su Yi retaliated, his blows barely scratched Mu Jin.
Mu Jin knew, of course, how skilled Su Yi was in martial arts, and she also knew that she couldn't possibly defeat Su Yi.
However, she was not only upset about Nangong Min's matter, but also furious because of Su Yi's sharp tongue.
She didn't care whether her anger hurt Su Yi or not; he had come to provoke her when she was at her most annoyed, so she wasn't going to be polite since he had delivered himself to her doorstep.
Mu Jin used all her strength, punching Su Yi with every blow, as if she wanted to unleash all her anger on him.
When she got tired of hitting him, Su Yi's right cheek was hit by her punch at just the right moment, instantly cutting his lip.
Su Yi cried out in pain and used his light-footed skill to leap lightly onto the roof. He wiped his fingers to his lips and found blood on his fingertips. Seeing the blood, he laughed even more shamelessly.
It was as if he wasn't the one getting beaten up, and even being beaten up by Mu Jin was a happy thing.
Mu Jin looked up from below, glaring angrily at Su Yi, who was sitting on the rooftop grinning smugly, and cursed loudly.
"You'd better get down here, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Su Yi spat near the roof.
"You heartless woman, you're hitting me so hard! I don't want to go down there and be beaten by you like an idiot. I've lost all my guts since I met you. I'm not going down. You've got guts, come up here and hit me!"
Mu Jin was furious. Her lightness skill had always been mediocre. She tried to jump several times, but she could only barely reach the air before falling heavily to the ground.
She couldn't leap onto the roof as easily as Su Yi.
Enraged, she searched the yard for a ladder, hoping to climb onto the roof and settle scores with Su Yi.
However, Mu Jin searched everywhere but couldn't find a trace of the ladder.
In a fit of rage, Mu Jin picked up a stone from the ground and threw it fiercely at Su Yi on the roof.
Seeing Mu Jin jumping up and down in anger because of him, Su Yi's mood inexplicably improved.
He knew when to stop, fearing that if he provoked her any further, Mu Jin might break someone's roof, and he would have to spend a lot of effort to appease her, which would be a loss.
Su Yi slowly stood up from the roof, grinning smugly at Mu Jin, and said, "Ah Jin, your lightness skill is still so bad. I'll teach you another day."
"Since you can't get up here, I'm taking my leave. See you later!"
After Su Yi finished speaking, he gave Mu Jin a flirtatious wink, waved goodbye, and then used his light footwork to leave Mu Jin's courtyard.
Mu Jin was left standing there, stomping her feet in anger.
