Chapter 310.2: Swayflower (1/2)

After a little while, they arrived at a house made out of bamboo.

“This is?”

“The place where Senior Jun had once lived in seclusion.” Mu Ye walked up and pushed open the door. “Come in. Senior Jun had left something for you.”

“Mu Ye, can you tell me who exactly you are?” Tang Doudou felt like his actions had always been very strange. When exactly had it started?

It had probably started that time in the Plum Garden banquet when he caught her in the bathroom and offered a collaboration. Ever since then, it felt like he had been completely different.

Before that time, he had insisted on killing her.

Mu Ye’s movements paused for a second. “I’m a guardian, the guardian of the Xuanyuan Tribe.”

So it was like that. She had guessed that it might’ve been the case, but she hadn’t been sure.

“Then I’m a descendant of the Xuanyuan Tribe?”

“En.”

“What’s your goal? Is it only to protect?” Tang Doudou looked at him curiously. For some reason, she felt like it wouldn’t be that simple.

Mu Ye didn’t reply.

Tang Doudou tried a different question. “Why did you try to kill me before?”

“I didn’t know that it was you.”

“How did you find out later?”

“Su Yi.” Mu Ye glanced at her. “Aren’t you going to ask about Baili Yu?”

Tang Doudou smiled at him. “You’ve never lied. Since you said that he’s fine, he’s definitely still alive, so I’m not in a hurry. I’ll find him sooner or later.”

“En.” Mu Ye smiled softly as well. “Thank you.”

“What are you thanking me for? I haven’t even had a chance to thank you properly. You’ve saved me so many times that I can’t even repay you enough in this lifetime.”

If there a next life existed, hopefully she would meet him earlier and fall in love with him in order to make up for everything he had done for her in this life.

Mu Ye pressed his lips together. “I saw someone rescue and take him.”

“Who?” As expected, Mu Ye didn’t lie to her. She really was grateful that he had delivered those strands of hair to her. Otherwise, she’d still be bickering with Jun Xin craftily and looking for an opportunity to commit suicide.

Mu Ye didn’t reply and instead asked, “You don’t blame me for not stopping it from happening?”

“Mu Ye ah, Mu Ye. Though you’re the guardian of the Xuanyuan Tribe, that doesn’t make you my personal guardian, right? No matter what you do or how you do it, I wouldn’t blame you, alright?”

Mu Ye’s face remained cold and expressionless so Tang Doudou couldn’t tell if he really understood. He just gave a soft ‘en’ before saying, “Nangong Yan. She was the one that took Baili Yu away.”
