Liu Shimei was surprised, May I ask, what is the reason?
She knew that everything had two sides, and people always viewed things from their own perspective, examining events from their own starting point. Therefore, it was not that she didnt trust Zhong Lang, but she still wanted to hear both sides of the story, to avoid believing in one-sided words.
Mu Jiangli looked at her, not clarifying the cause and effect of the situation. Instead, he said, I know you want to resolve the grievances between me and Zhong Lang.
He set down the teacup in his hand and continued, Shaking hands and making peace is impossible, but for your sake, I can temporarily let him go. From now on, as long as he is by your side, I will not pursue past grievances. But once he is no longer your retainer, I will demand retribution from him.
Liu Shimei was very surprised, Is Lord Mu valuing me too much? Is my face so significant?
This question sounded a bit shameless, but wasnt this what he meant?
Clearly, he said For your sake, implying that he was willing to overlook personal enmity for her. Didnt this mean he was giving her face?
Mu Jiangli smiled, Since you are willing to let me address you by your name, theres no need for us to be too distant. I am considerably older than you. If you dont mind, you can call me elder brother in the future.
Liu Shimei,
She already had many brothers!
Elder brothers, younger brothers a whole bunch!
Now, Mu Jiangli meant for her to acknowledge him as a sworn brother?
You just mentioned deepening our friendship Seeing her reluctance, Mu Jiangli lowered his eyelids and said calmly, But I dont agree. The grudges and affections in the Jianghu are too complex. You are the daughter of the imperial family, the future daughter-in-law of the royal family. Some things are inconvenient to tell you. Its not that I dont want to confide in you.
Liu Shimei remained silent, looking at him with a puzzled expression on her face.
Facing her gaze, Mu Jiangli let out a deep sigh, lowered his head, and chuckled softly, saying, Alright, if youre not willing, I wont insist, Eldest Young Miss Liu.
Its not that Im unwilling, Liu Shimei kept her eyes fixed on his, catching a glimpse of disappointment in his eyes. She explained, I just Im utterly confused.
She pursed her lips and continued, Im not someone of great importance. I just cant figure out why youre unusually tolerant and kind to me? Or is it something else.
That was almost like baring her soul.
Before she could finish, she added, Even though I may be a bit petty, Medicine Lord is a renowned figure in the martial world, and I am merely a daughter of the imperial family. Im just a girl. Why would you be so exceptionally kind to me? I cant help but feel uneasy.
Again, these were her true feelings.
I understand, Mu Jiangli smiled and said, Lets not talk about the formalities of calling each other brother and sister. Just consider us as fellow martial artists in the Jianghu. I am much older than you, so you can simply address me as Brother Mu.
Alright, Brother Mu. His explanation made perfect sense, and Liu Shimei readily changed her address.
Mu Jianglis demeanor softened, and he looked at her profile, asking, Are you investigating Wu Qiang for your elder brother?
Liu Shimei was taken aback. She thought, I still want to know about Wu Qiang. Since he knows, he must be willing to share.
Yes, she replied candidly.
Mu Jiangli said, Wu Duosi is indeed Wu Qiang. After leaving the Imperial Capital, he continuously challenged renowned martial artists, not for fame, but
His expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued, For death!
Liu Shimei was shocked!
