- Chapter 145 2 (1/2)

An Ran

No matter how hard An Ran tried to figure things out, she could not get the slightest clue of how special the young man was before her. He seemed to be very weak, and he was even not as fit as herself.

“There is no need to be so polite, village chief… Just now, I have heard everything when you were scolding your daughter. Actually, I am Ning Gu’s brother. Since the fur coat was already gifted to my brother, it’s not right to get it back. Besides, I do not have any money to compensate for that coat…”

Even though the young man spoke those words with a smile on his face, the village chief sweated more profusely. Upon seeing his smile, the village chief’s smile became broader.

So, it turned out that the young man is the brother of Ning Gu. He seemed to be stronger than Ning Gu by a lot.

It was already terrifying that Ning Gu could kill the tiger spirit with just a single arrow. Therefore, Ning Gu’s brother must be a ruthless person who was much stronger and cruel.

Moreover, there was a faint bloody smell on his body. The smell had terrified the village chief even more.

Undoubtedly, this young man must be a devil who killed people like flies. It didn’t matter if he was an immortal or an ordinary man, the village chief could not bear to offend him.

If the village chief had known that Ning Gu had such a strong brother, he would have never scolded his daughter. He wouldn’t even have the idea of getting the fur coat back.

Although the young man had stopped him from teaching his daughter a lesson, he would never dare to accuse the young man of being a busybody.

As the village chief, he at least know how to be a sleek person. In front of the simple villagers, he could act like a tyrant. However, in front of this young man, he would surely face a big trouble if he dared to act ruthlessly.

“Hehe, so you are Ning Gu’s brother. Excellent…” the village chief said with an apologetic smile. He actually did not understand why he said “excellent”. That was completely irrelevant.

On the contrary, the lady’s eyes brightened. She gave a softer look to the young man.

So, he is the brother of that Ning Gu who is as dull as a wood. Ning Gu had never given me a happy look before no matter how kind I was to him. His brother was the complete opposite. He was quite easygoing.

Since he is Ning Gu’s brother, I must be more courteous to him.

“Brother Ning, do you want to rest for a while in our humble house? I am going to make some tea for you…”

The village chief felt that his daughter’s friendliness had gotten him into troubles. However, he could not say it in front of the young man.

The person before us is malefic. It is hard to ask him to leave. Why did you still make him stay?

Such a stupid, foolish and idiotic girl!

The young man gave a wee smile and shook his head. He rejected the girl’s good intention as if he had felt the fear of the village chief.

“It’s fine. I am not thirsty… Is your daughter called An Ran?” the young man said firmly.

“Yes. It was a name given by her mother. It was not a good name as it does not carry any culture…” the village chief said with a bitter smile.

“No, it is a good name.’

“Yes, you are correct. Although this name seemed to be bad, it is good after all...” the chief village said without understanding what he had just spoken. To him, whatever came out from the young man’s mouth was right.

“An Ran and Ning Gu. It’s a good match, isn’t it?” the young man said to himself.

When the village chief heard this, he was stunned speechless as though thunder had clapped above the sky.

It’s over. This young devil had come to conduct a match-making. Is he going to rob my daughter to be the wife of his brother?

It’s bad. If my daughter is to be wed to his brother, she would be in grave danger.

Although he was snobbish and stingy and loved to display his wealth, he was quite concerned for the safety of his daughter. He was not willing to put his daughter in danger.

However, he did not have the guts to speak his mind before the young man.

At that moment, the lady put down the firewood and went into the house with her glittering eyes.

“Brother Ning, do you really think that Ning Gu and I are a good match?” the girl asked after understanding the young man’s implication.

“Yes. Both of you are indeed a good match. Are you willing to be Ning Gu’s wife?” the young man said with a smile.

“Yes, I do!” the girl replied with a huge smile. But almost immediately, she let out a soft sigh and said, “I think he would not agree…”

“No, in fact, Ning Gu likes you too. Based on my understanding of him, he will never glance at something that he does not like at all. He only lacks the knowledge of how to make you happy. From youth, he had never learnt how to speak to girls and he never appeared to be likeable in front of others. He also got himself into troubles,” the young man answered while recalling old memories.

After that, he opened his pouch and took out a crystal hairpin and a bottle of jadeite pill bottle.

The village chief had never seen a storage pouch like this in his entire life. His face was full of astonishment when he saw the young man took those two things just like watching a magic trick.

This young man must be an immortal! Other than that, no one could take out a treasure in that manner without any tricks!

The crystal hairpin was very fine and was glittering. It was something that the village chief had never seen before too.
