Chapter 629 - Reuniting (1/2)

The woman led Nan Zhi, Mu Sihan and the rest of the group into the depths of the mountain.

It was extremely quiet surrounding them, with only the sound of leaves rustling and scuttling of the bugs.

Nan Zhi walked beside the woman, finding out from the woman that there was an outsider that came to the village a month ago, wanting to take the Master away.

Several villagers protecting the Master had gotten injured because of this as well.

“If the person that Miss Ling’er saved wasn’t as good as fighting, the Master might have been taken out of our village,” the woman sighed, “Ever since the Master and Miss Ling’er came to our village, everything had been smooth in our village. They’re the most respected people in our village!”

Nan Zhi listened to the woman’s explanation, understanding why they were so against outsiders in their village.

“Don’t worry, we’re not bad people. We’re only here to seek help from the Master.”

The woman nodded. “Miss, you’re so pretty and can compare to Miss Ling’er. Miss Ling’er is kind and nice, so I think, pretty people like you are all kind.”

Hearing the woman mentioning Miss Ling’er every time, Nan Zhi suddenly wanted to meet this pretty and kind lady.

They walked for nearly half an hour, before a small two-storey house made of wood appeared in their sight.

The house was surrounded by bamboo that had been sharpened, the fragrance of flowers surrounding them.

The woman walked to the door, glancing inside. “Ah Sheng, I brought some guests, they’re all good people.”

When Nan Zhi heard ‘Ah Sheng’, her heart started to thump crazily.

Her pretty expression changed.

Her relaxed fingers clenched up unconsciously.

Ah Sheng?

When she heard these two words again, she felt like a century had pa.s.sed.

Mu Sihan was standing not too far away from Nan Zhi. When the woman called for Ah Sheng, his first reaction was to look at her.

Seeing her expression change, his deep eyes darkened to a point they looked like they were endless black holes that wanted to swallow and tear a person up…

If she had such a strong reaction from just hearing ‘Ah Sheng’, then it seemed like Gu Sheng was still living in her heart!

Mu Sihan forced his emotions down. He could only comfort himself continuously that Gu Sheng had died and he did not need to be too caught up with a dead person.

The woman spoke to the person in the yard again, before she turned around and waved the group over. “Ah Sheng asked you to go in.”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Thank you for tonight.”

“You’ve saved my granddaughter, so it’s alright. You can go in and tell Ah Sheng why you’re looking for the Master. I’ll go back first.”

“Okay.”

After the woman left, Yi Fan took the lead and entered the yard.

Nan Zhi was behind Yi Fan, looking up to see the Ah Sheng that the woman talked to.

She only saw a man wearing a white s.h.i.+rt, cutting fire logs in the yard..

The white moonlight shone on his handsome and tall figure. The gentleness on him seemed strangely familiar as well.

Nan Zhi stopped.

Bai Ye, who was behind her, almost knocked into her. He was confused, seeing her suddenly s.p.a.ce out. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did the Master put some kind of wizardry to stop you?”

Nan Zhi ignored Bai Ye, her bright almond-shaped eyes stared straight at the tall figure in the yard.

Mu Sihan, who was walking the last, felt his expression darken completely.

He also found that figure that Nan Zhi found familiar to be familiar as well.

However, he did not think that it would be that coincidental!
