Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 170 The World Has Mermaid Language (14)

"You know that much," Yan Fa'an said coldly.

The elders still standing there: ...

The group exchanged glances and saw something familiar in each other's eyes. Could it be that the patriarch wanted to use this opportunity to break ties with the Nangong family?
If that's the case, then they need to prepare properly.

Ai Wan almost couldn't help but curse. She looked at that god-like face with resentment, feeling as if her heart was being clenched tightly by both hands, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

I couldn't help but take another look, and my resentment grew even stronger.

How could someone like Yan Fa'an care about an ant?

But that's fine too, because then she'll have more leverage.

"You can continue," Yan Fa'an said coldly before turning and leaving.

Although he carried her back to her room, Yan Fa'an was truly at a loss. If what Ai Wan said was true, then Bubble's problem was unsolvable; she could only rely on herself to get through it. However, he had some doubts. The entire continent was hunting merfolk because of rumors, so it wasn't surprising that the Nangong family had merfolk. Nangong Chuqi was willing to write a letter personally for Ai Wan, so sending her a sachet made of merfolk flesh and blood was also quite common.

But any normal person should know how precious this thing is, so why would someone so casually say it in front of so many people?
He certainly didn't believe that she was naive and ignorant.

The most likely explanation is that she knew Bubble was a merman, and everything she did was for a purpose.

No wonder he was able to thrive in the Nangong family. Even Nangong Chuqi, that blockhead, hadn't noticed. Thinking of this, Yan Fa'an couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.

When Shen Yun woke up, she realized something was wrong. She opened her eyes and saw Yan Fa'an's expressionless face.

She was completely still; if she hadn't known this person well, she probably would have thought it was a sculpture.

She sat up and felt a wet sensation on her chest. Looking down, she saw a few beads of blood flowing out.

Didn't Yan Fa'an have anyone bandage her up?
Shen Yun looked over in disbelief. Yan Fa'an had obviously noticed this as well. Could he say that he had forgotten in his haste?

“Your identity cannot be known to others, so you cannot have anyone come to see you.” Yan Fa’an glanced at him cautiously, then continued, “As for me, it is inappropriate for men and women to be intimate.”

If anyone else had said this, Shen Yun would have believed a word or two.

But she didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Yan Fa'an's words.

If he truly wanted to avoid suspicion, he wouldn't have let her stay by his side.

She skipped over that part, took off her outer garment, cleaned her wounds, and applied wound medicine. "Master, is Ai Wan the winner this time?"

"I didn't stay to watch, but judging from the previous situation, it would be normal for her to do so." In fact, Yan Fa'an was a little unhappy. He did not agree to Nangong Chuqi's words to go easy on Ai Wan, but strangely, those disciples seemed to have lost their souls and were consciously showing humility.

Winning first place in this competition was a real challenge for him.

The reason is simple: this first prize is a promise made by Yan Fa'an at the banquet.

How can he refuse?
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Shen Yun went out. Just in case, she still had to keep the dog on her person.

They happened to run into Ai Wan who was walking by.

She had already changed out of her clothes and put on a pure white, wide-sleeved, flowing fairy dress, and her hair was tied up in an extremely complicated bun.

"Senior Brother Ling, this time it's Ai Wan who has wronged you." Ai Wan's gaze inadvertently fell on her hand, and her pupils contracted.

Because of excessive blood loss, Shen Yun's lips were a little pale. "It's nothing. In a competition, how can one not get injured?" "Senior Brother Ling is indeed very understanding." She paused and smiled gently. "I wonder where Senior Brother Ling bought that bracelet. Ai Wan found it very appealing."

A bracelet that catches my eye: ...Hmph.

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow and tapped his finger lightly. Despite his disheveled appearance, he still exuded a roguish charm. "You find it appealing? Well, I'm sorry, this bracelet was given to me by my mother on her deathbed. I don't have one like it anywhere else."

Although Shen Yun spoke lightly, he felt a tightness in his heart.

The bracelet was dusty and unremarkable. Up close, one might be drawn to its antique patterns, but from a distance, it held no appeal whatsoever. Was Ai Wan blind? Or did she genuinely see something peculiar about the bracelet?

She prefers the latter.

"That's a real shame," Ai Wan said with a regretful expression.

The two passed each other, and Ai Wan inadvertently noticed the difference in skin tone around her ear compared to the sallow complexion on her face. The corners of her lips slowly curled upwards. Sure enough, everything was as she had expected.

"Ai Wan pays respects to the head of the Yan family."

Yan Fa'an waved his hand, "No need for formalities. Now that you've won first place, is there anything you want?"

Ai Wan smiled and nodded slightly. "Ai Wan has admired the family head for a long time. Could the family head give Ai Wan an answer?"

The woman before him was gentle and graceful, with an outstanding temperament, yet Yan Fa'an felt a sudden surge of irritation. "You are exceptionally talented and will surely achieve great things in the future. Why be so preoccupied with personal feelings?"

“I understand the patriarch’s answer. As for the rest, Ai Wan has nothing she wants.”

“No, rules cannot be broken. How about this, since all the techniques you practice are yin and soft, I will give you a set of internal energy cultivation methods today. Practice them more, and they can help you.” Yan Fa’an looked at the person in front of him seriously. This set of internal energy cultivation methods was indeed rare in the world, but it was useless to him, so giving it away would not harm him.

"Then Ai Wan thanks the family head." Knowing that there was no room for bargaining, Ai Wan had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.

But right now, her most important task is to get people out of Yan Fa's house without anyone noticing. Once they're out of there, everything can be planned.

Shen Yun picked up 2345 and held it in his palm, then stared at it intently until it looked unsteady on its feet before speaking, "Are you sure you weren't sent by my enemy?"

He's useless at everything and always causes her trouble.

"Aww." [Of course... no, host, don't you know what kind of system I'm talking about?] 2345 said this somewhat guiltily.

Who said that you have to die sooner or later? It thinks that it will live as long as it can.

Shen Yun looked at it suspiciously; she wasn't joking, she was genuinely suspicious.

Don't think she hasn't seen other systems. They all try their best to fulfill the host's wishes, but this one of them is always trying to go against her.

What else could this be but something sent by an enemy?
Is it because they're naturally naive and stupid?

2345 shook itself and then stood up, its two little paws supporting its chubby cheeks.

If I act cute, I should be able to get away with it.

Seemingly foolish, Shen Yun lowered his brows and pondered seriously, "Ai Wan will leave here in less than three days. When that time comes, pack your things and secretly follow her."

Locked in the Mozi's dark room, even turning off the computer didn't work. I was released right after finishing typing, and I cried because I was so stupid...
