Chapter 55

"Stop, stop, stop!" The restaurant owner felt that the situation was not right and hurriedly interrupted the two people's "flirtatious banter," frowning at Yan Yumo and saying, "Yumo, what’s going on? How did you meet this young master?"

"I..." Yan Yumo was about to speak but suddenly stopped. She helplessly realized that she couldn’t explain it clearly at all!

Was she supposed to say that she deliberately bumped into Jiang Han, stole his jade pendant, and then after a struggle, reluctantly returned it?

Yan Yumo was sure that if she said all this, her grandfather would be so angry that steam would come out of his seven orifices, because from a young age, her grandfather had taught her to be upright and not to do sneaky things.

Although Yan Yumo had acted on impulse at the time.

When she saw Jiang Han that day, his fair face subconsciously reminded her of the word "playboy," and then the hateful face of Wu Chi popped into her mind. Plus, she was a bit poor at the time, so in a moment of heat, she stole Jiang Han’s jade pendant.

But she didn’t expect that the jade pendant was very important to Jiang Han, and even more surprisingly, Jiang Han could guess that she was the one who stole it!

Every time Yan Yumo thought about it, she felt very frustrated.

If there had been no further contact after that, it would have been fine, but who knew that Jiang Han would suddenly become the disciple of her and her grandfather’s benefactor! At this moment, she couldn’t possibly tell the whole story.

"Hmm? What’s wrong? Continue," the restaurant owner asked curiously.

"I accidentally bumped into him in another city, and we hit it off, so we got to know each other." In a panic, Yan Yumo made up a reason, while at the same time giving Jiang Han a meaningful look, indicating that he should play along.

"Hey? Miss Yumo, what’s wrong with your eyes? Blinking like that, did you accidentally get sand in them?" Jiang Han pretended not to understand Yan Yumo’s meaning, putting on a look of surprise and concern.

Yan Yumo was almost driven to the brink of anger, wanting to rush forward and stab Jiang Han a few times with the Dark Kiss, but she could only cooperate with Jiang Han and say, "Ah, yes! I accidentally got a small grain of sand in my eye, it’s very uncomfortable." As she spoke, the dagger in her hand disappeared, and she raised her hand to rub her eye.

"Look at you being so careless, come, let me blow it out for you!" Jiang Han looked very eager, taking a few steps forward and reaching out to touch Yan Yumo’s cheek.

"Don’t come near me!" Yan Yumo almost instinctively screamed when she saw Jiang Han’s action, then quickly retreated a few steps. At the same time, daggers reappeared in both her hands, black light swirling, dark and soul-piercing.

Yan Yumo’s delicate face was full of vigilance, her beautiful large eyes staring intently at Jiang Han, afraid that he might have any ulterior motives.

Jiang Han stopped, seeming to be regretful, slowly withdrew his hand, and then lightly touched his nose, saying, "Why so nervous? I’m not a bad person."

Hearing Jiang Han’s words, Yan Yumo rolled her large eyes and gave him a disdainful glare. This guy’s face was already so thick, it had no limits!

"Don’t look at me with such allure!" Jiang Han grinned, "There are so many elders here, you should be a bit more careful."

"You..."

"If you want me to cooperate, don’t talk nonsense!" Jiang Han said with a half-smile, using lip movements.

Yan Yumo was filled with shame and anger, opening her small mouth to scold, but quickly stopped when she saw Jiang Han’s lip movements, her beautiful eyes glaring at him.

Jiang Han’s lips curled into a smile, and he slowly moved forward a few steps. Yan Yumo instinctively wanted to retreat, but then thought of something and, despite her shame and anger, did not move.

"Put away the 'Dark Kiss,' it scares me," Jiang Han said softly, staring into Yan Yumo’s eyes.

"Hmph!" After a brief hesitation, Yan Yumo realized she had no other choice, so she let out a light hum, and the Dark Kiss disappeared from her hand.

"Good girl!" Jiang Han grinned, leaning forward slightly, already able to smell Yan Yumo’s fragrance. His eyes narrowed, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, "So fragrant!"

"What?" Yan Yumo was taken aback, but quickly understood, her face turning even redder, her beautiful eyes filled with shame and anger, and she whispered, "What do you want?!"

Jiang Han pursed his lips and then whispered, "Miss, no matter what, we’re half-enemies, right? I just want to tease you, is there a problem with that?"

"You, you’re shameless!" Yan Yumo gritted her teeth, her small fists tightly clenched, wanting to punch Jiang Han.

"You’ve got the wrong person, Wu Chi is over there." Jiang Han shrugged, raising his eyebrows and indicating the unconscious Wu Chi on the ground with his eyes.

Yan Yumo was speechless, not knowing how to respond, and could only glare at Jiang Han!

The two were very close, and although they were verbally sparring, neither giving in. However, in the eyes of the restaurant owner, it looked like Jiang Han and Yan Yumo were a young couple whispering to each other.

Of course, this was because the restaurant owner was an ordinary person and couldn’t hear their conversation. But Old Yun and Li Ao were both strong, and they naturally couldn’t miss what Jiang Han and Yan Yumo were saying.

"This kid, he’s really good at flirting," Old Yun thought, "He’s a match for me in my prime!"

Li Ao, on the other hand, was thinking that if his grandson could be like Jiang Han, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a state. Truly, comparing people can make one feel the vast difference between heaven and earth!

"That’s enough, brat, come back and behave yourself! I still need to ask Miss Yumo some questions." Old Yun waved a gentle breeze, pulling Jiang Han back. Then he turned to the restaurant owner and said, "Don’t mind him, that’s just his nature."

"Not at all, not at all." The restaurant owner waved his hands hurriedly, although he was somewhat wary of Jiang Han, worried that he might have the same intentions as Wu Chi, but he still trusted Old Yun’s words.

Jiang Han glared at Old Yun but didn’t say anything more, squatting back to his seat to continue eating peanuts. Sometimes, he had to give Old Yun some face and couldn’t always go against him.

Yan Yumo, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief and felt a slight gratitude towards Old Yun. In that situation, she really couldn’t handle it, and if it had gone on a bit longer, she would have lost control and hit him.

"Little girl, you still haven’t answered me. Have you seen the original owner of the 'Dark Kiss'?" Old Yun looked intently at Yan Yumo and asked.

"Dark Kiss? Is that the name of my daggers? If so, I have seen him." Yan Yumo didn’t feel wary of Old Yun this time. She could see that her grandfather respected Old Yun from the heart.

"He... is he well?" Old Yun’s gaze suddenly became distant, as if recalling something, and after a while, he said softly.

"He? He’s doing great!" Yan Yumo gritted her teeth, her voice filled with dissatisfaction towards the Shadow Walker.

Old Yun was slightly surprised and looked at Yan Yumo, saying, "You seem dissatisfied with him?"

"Of course I’m dissatisfied!" Yan Yumo gritted her teeth, "I just picked up the daggers, and he forced me to become his disciple! I’ve never heard of a master forcing someone to be their disciple!"

"And even if he took me as a disciple, he only taught me a few martial techniques and then kicked me out! Is that how a master should act?!" As she spoke, Yan Yumo glanced at Jiang Han, "Compared to your generosity, my master is a miser!"

Old Yun was taken aback, looked at Jiang Han, and instantly understood Yan Yumo’s meaning. However, he didn’t explain and instead burst out laughing, leaving Yan Yumo puzzled.

"What are you laughing at?" Yan Yumo opened her large eyes and asked curiously.

"What am I laughing at? I’m laughing at you, little girl, for not knowing how fortunate you are!" Old Yun stopped laughing, shook his head, and said softly.
