Chapter 3 Brother Yan

This series of quick movements made Leng Yan raise his eyebrows, and curiosity gradually rose in his eyes.

"My mother said that it is impolite to not answer others' questions. Also, you can't wake them up even if you bring them back."

Mu Tianen's sweet voice was a little proud.

Leng Yan did not stop. He tilted his head and looked at the slightly raised chin of Mu Tianen, who was a little proud. "Is your arrow poisoned?"

Mu Tianen shook her head in disgust. "Master said that killing people is a grave sin, and it must be paid with life. So I try not to do so. I'm not stupid. Why would I sacrifice myself for that ugly monster? I just drugged them, which needs the antidote. Otherwise, they can sleep for three days and nights."

Leng Yan glanced at Zhong Zhihao. After checking, the latter shook his head at him, indicating that he couldn't do anything. He was a western doctor familiar with external injuries. He could stop the bleeding but did not know much about knockout drugs.

"Can you cure it?" Leng Yan was not angry, but his cold voice was also a bit soft. It was not even ordered, with a persuading tone.

Mu Tianen did not understand Leng Yan, so she felt this begging tone very normal. However, Leng Yan's subordinates knew him very well. Leng Yan never begged anyone, let alone such a tender side towards a girl whom he had met for the first time.

However, they did not know this was not the first time Leng Yan had seen Mu Tianen.

Mu Tianen chuckled and shook her head. "Tell me first, how did you know me?"

As long as Mu Tianen was curious, she would insist on figuring out what she wanted to know.

"I am..." Leng Yan was interrupted by the person in the headphones, "Tianen, I need to wake them up later. Give me the antidote."

Despite this, Leng Yan's tone was not an order.

Seeing that Leng Yan was very anxious, Mu Tianen was not a troublesome person. "Then will we meet in Nanyang City?"

"Yes."

The word was very heavy, smashing into Mu Tianen's heart.

Mu Tianen was very cautious. That was because she rarely came into contact with outsiders. But now, she trusted Leng Yan very easily, which surprised her.

It was not because he knew who she was, but she didn't know why.

"Alright, I'll remember this. If you break your promise, I'll be very sad. I'll find you to settle the matter. You know my name, so you know where my home is. My brothers and sisters are very powerful." Mu Tianen threatened.

Thinking of Mu Family's two elites, Leng Yan smiled. "I know."

Mu Tianen grinned. "They'll wake up after drinking a few bowls of salt water."

What a cute little guy.

Leng Yan laughed. "Okay, I'll remember it."

Leng Yan left quickly with his subordinates.

Jiang Ni couldn't help but look at her when passing Mu Tianen with complicated eyes. She finally remembered that Mu Tianen was from Nanyang City. Although not in Nanyang, she was quite famous.

From birth, she was regarded as a walking disaster and was disliked by her family. She was thrown to a Daoist temple on the mountain. Now it seemed that it was true.

It was just that there was still a difference between reality and rumors.

Not everyone from the Mu Family disliked her. Otherwise, she would not have said that her elder brother and sister were very powerful to threaten others.

Mu Tianen did not notice. She looked at the tall and slender figure walking in the front without blinking. Then she looked where they were heading. Her red lips moved and struggled for a second, "Leng Yan, are you going to the other side of the mountain? I am familiar with this place."

When hearing this, Leng Yan stopped, and everyone else followed suit.

Leng Yan said as he turned around, with expectation in his eyes that he didn't become aware of. "I want to go to the other side of the mountain before three o'clock in the afternoon,"

"You can't make it through the main road. I have nothing to do anyway. If you believe me, come with me. But you have to tell me how you know my name."

Like that, Mu Tianen set off with Leng Yan and the others.

Mu Tianen looked at Leng Yan from time to time as she walked, with big sad eyes and pouting red lips, because Leng Yan still did not tell her how he knew her.

However, she thought of a few possibilities. If not for her senior brothers and sisters, it was because of her parents and relatives.

"Leng Yan, do you have anything to eat?"

Mu Tianen originally planned to wash up before going to eat breakfast. Who knew that she would suddenly be kicked down the mountain by her master. Climbing down the mountain and beating up the bad guys required physical strength. And she walked for so long. There was everything in the Eight Treasure Bag except food at this moment.

Mu Tianen would not admit that she had eaten all the supplies before.

Leng Yan took out a chocolate energy bar from his pocket and said as he handed it to Mu Tianen, "I am seven years older than you. You should call me Brother Leng."

"Seven years older than me. What a coincidence. I'm ranked seventh. My short name is Little Seven. Master and the others call me so. But calling you Brother Leng is very tongue-tied. How about Brother Yan?"

Mu Tianen said as she took it with a smile and sized it up. Her family and senior brothers and sisters often sent her snacks from all over the world, but she had never seen the one in front. It was not big but quite heavy when she weighed it.

"Alright." Leng Yan smiled for some seconds. He didn't notice it himself. Mu Tianen was busy tearing open the packaging and tasting it, so she didn't notice it.

However, when seeing this, the three subordinates behind opened their mouths in horror while Jiang Ni lowered her head bitterly.

The three of them had no choice but to seize Mu Tianen again. Other than being younger and prettier, what else could make the cold and proud Leng Yan smile and call him Brother Yan.

Usually, the boss wouldn't even look at strange women.

Even though Jiang Ni had known him since she was a child, she had never received such a warm smile from him. At most, she had praise and affirmation for her work, let alone calling him brother.

Mu Tianen was very hungry. She took a big bite and did not care about her image. "Wow, it's delicious and sweet."

Her big eyes curved into two crescent moons, with her face full of happiness, and her shoulders unconsciously shrugged.

Seeing this, Leng Yan could not help but soften his eyes. The food company made these energy bars. Usually, they were prepared for the employees with tasks. He had also eaten a lot of them. He was not particular about food. At this moment, he wanted to taste if the energy bar in her hands were different from the usual ones he ate.

Mu Tianen ate very fast, but the way she ate was not ugly. Surprisingly, she said, "Oh, I feel full with such a small one."

Leng Yan was about to ask if she wanted to drink some water when a cold voice sounded from behind, "Miss Mu, with our current speed, can we arrive there before three in the afternoon?"

Mu Tianen looked, following the voice. There was only one woman among them, wearing a black mask. Although she could not see her face clearly, her skin was white, with clear and cold eyes.

There was no fluctuation or malice in her tone. She was asking seriously, so Mu Tianen answered obediently, "Sister. Yes. I won't lie."

She pointed ahead. "It will take more than two hours to pass this forest. After that, we will reach the top of the mountain and be there once we get down,"

Jiang Ni looked into Mu Tianen's eyes, as clear as spring water. For no reason, she believed her words. She raised the question because she saw that Mu Tianen did not pay attention to the direction at all, but traveled leisurely. So Jiang Ni was afraid of delaying.

"Are you sure?"

Noticing others' distrust, Mu Tianen did not feel anything. It was normal since they met for the first time. "I'm sure. I can walk out of here with my eyes closed. Don't worry. I won't ruin your business."

Mu Tianen turned around, grinned at Leng Yan, and then took the lead to walk away.

Leng Yan did not hesitate and followed. The people behind could only do the same.

As Mu Tianen said, about two hours later, they passed the forest. In front of them were the endless blue sky and white clouds. It was as if they could touch the sky with one hand. In the distance, there were soaring eagles.

They were the bodyguards of Leng Yan's company. They had protected many people and traveled to many places, but such a stunning natural scene was also rare.

They wanted to stop and slowly appreciate it, if not in a hurry.

With the cold breeze, even the summer afternoon was cold.

However, it also showed that the cliff was unusually steep. Why didn't they feel like going up the mountain when they walked?

Leng Yan turned to look for Mu Tianen, only to see her walk under a big tree at the side. Because she was blocked, he could not see what she was doing.

When Mu Tianen turned around, he saw a vine in her hand, as thick as an adult's arm. It was naturally grown and not artificial, with more on the ground.

"Use it to go down. Don't worry, and it is very solid. Every time my senior brothers and sisters go to the opposite mountain, we will go down from here and save half a day."

Yuan Qing would let the seven disciples go down the mountain to play for two days every month. The seven of them would not waste their time on the journey. This was the fastest way they could find to the other side of the mountain.

Mu Tianen walked to the cliff's edge and threw the vine away, which disappeared under the cliff in the blink of an eye. She turned back and met Leng Yan's dark eyes. "I'll go down to check the situation first. You are bodyguards, and it is similar to a rapid descent. Do you know how to do it?"

During these two hours, Mu Tianen had asked Leng Yan many things, and Leng Yan was not stingy with telling her.

Leng Yan was very surprised by Mu Tianen's method of going down the mountain. This was unprotected. Even though Mu Tianen stood by the cliff's edge, he was afraid that she would accidentally fall.

However, Mu Tianen did not notice Leng Yan's worry. She turned around and took out a pair of gloves whose materials were hard to see from the Eight Treasure Bag. She put them on, grabbed the rattan, and skillfully wrapped it around her waist.

Because she often went down from here, her hands had to rub against the vines. So Mu Tianen made gloves with silk.

When seeing the three unconscious people, Mu Tianen was about to go down. "I almost forgot about them. I can wake them up after slapping them a few times."

As for the salt water, Mu Tianen didn't want to hurt herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Tianen bent down and kicked off the cliff. Her entire body flew out of the cliff. Her right hand loosened the rattan. With a 'swoosh', the dark gray figure had already disappeared from the top of the mountain.

Leng Yan took big strides, approached the cliff's edge, and saw Mu Tianen fall very fast. Mu Tianen's figure had already shrunk into a shadow in a few seconds. His thick eyebrows unconsciously frowned. Soon, even the shadow disappeared, with the only cold wind rushing up.
