Chapter 75

After hesitating for a long time, Su Yi finally walked towards his room with a helpless sigh. It was best to clear things up quickly; if Bao Xiruo suddenly got the urge to come to his room to look for him, he would be in a truly unresolvable situation.

Imagining himself wearing the hat of someone who intended to molest his sister, he wondered if life would still be worth living. Although he couldn't pursue Mu Nianci due to various reasons, she was still his sister... The word "sister" alone was enough to make Su Yi's affection for her reach its peak. Even if he didn't pursue her, leaving a good impression was still possible... He needed to clear up the misunderstanding quickly...

When he reached his door, Su Yi took a deep breath, muttered a few words of encouragement to himself, and then pushed open the door. Although it was a place he had slept in for over a year, he felt incredibly nervous at that moment...

"Ah..."

A scream echoed inside the room, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

Walking in casually, Su Yi turned his head to look around. He saw Mu Nianci cowering in the corner, holding a dagger and nervously watching the door. When she saw Su Yi, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you! I never thought you were such a despicable person, using such low tactics to kidnap me! How shameless, are you even a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect?"

At that moment, Mu Nianci realized what it meant to know someone's face but not their heart. She had thought the one who kidnapped her was the man in white, but who would have thought it was this so-called Quanzhen disciple? She had even been grateful to him for speaking up for her... Truly, human hearts are treacherous!

She gripped the dagger even tighter...

"..."

Su Yi stared blankly at the beautiful young woman in front of him. The guard had said that the nanny had already changed her clothes. At the time, he thought the misunderstanding was quite troublesome, but now he suddenly felt that seeing such a beautiful woman made the misunderstanding worth it...

Mu Nianci was extremely beautiful, with a delicate and charming face. Despite the many hardships she had endured, her beauty remained unmarred, and she had gained a touch of resilience. The contradictory qualities of strength and gentleness were perfectly blended in her. Her ordinary clothes had somewhat concealed her beauty, but now, dressed in luxurious silk and satin, she wore a pink outfit that suited her perfectly. Her slender waist, sharp shoulders, and well-proportioned figure exuded a gentle and graceful charm. Her beauty was now fully revealed.

"You pervert! What are you looking at!?"

Mu Nianci couldn't help but shrink back further.

Having been influenced by many virtuous teachers, Su Yi quickly regained his composure. Looking at Mu Nianci, who was staring at him with a mix of fear and determination, he realized that if he made any aggressive move, she would immediately take her own life...

He smiled bitterly, raised his hands to show he was harmless, and said, "Miss, you've misunderstood. I have no ill intentions towards you..."

"Sure, no ill intentions..." Mu Nianci said sarcastically. "Just kidnapping me and throwing me in a room, truly no ill intentions at all!"

Su Yi opened his mouth but then sadly realized that his words were not convincing at all!

"I'm telling you, you pervert, don't even think about it. If you take one step closer, I'll kill myself. You won't get my body!"

"Alright, alright, I won't come any closer..."

Su Yi carefully measured the distance between himself and Mu Nianci, then, with her as the center, he circled around, keeping the distance as the minimum radius. He walked to the table, sat down, poured a cup of tea, warmed it with his inner energy, sipped it, and smiled, "I haven't taken a single step closer, right?"

"You..." Mu Nianci couldn't help but let two tears stream down her face. She bit her lip hard to keep from showing any fear, and her forced strength was particularly touching!

"Alright, alright... I'm not joking with you anymore..." Su Yi put away his playful demeanor and said seriously, "I really have no ill intentions towards you. I sent people to bring you here because I was worried you might fall into Ouyang Ke's trap, that little pervert in white. Also, I had some matters to discuss with you..."

Su Yi spread his hands helplessly and said, "My original intention was to bring you all here and discuss things in detail. But my subordinates are too stupid and misunderstood that I was interested in your beauty, which is why you ended up here..."

"How do I know if you're telling the truth? Maybe you're in league with that man in white? I thought you were a good person, but the world is truly dangerous, and one can never truly know someone's heart!"

Seeing Mu Nianci's determined look, Su Yi realized she hadn't listened to a word of his explanation and felt helpless... The misunderstanding was indeed deep.

"Ah... Believe it or not, just stay in this room and don't open the door no matter who knocks. No one dares to enter here without my permission... I promise I won't touch you, and I'll send you away tonight. How about that?"

"What about my father?"

"Hmm? Your father..."

Mentioning Yang Tiexin, Su Yi felt a surge of anger. "I originally wanted to bring both you and your father here, but those idiots only brought you and left him behind. So I sent someone to bring him here just now..."

"No!"

Mu Nianci, who had been cowering, suddenly rushed forward, tightly hugging Su Yi and pressing the dagger to his neck, crying, "Whatever you want, take it out on me. My father is innocent, don't take him! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

"Ah..." Su Yi sighed helplessly. He realized that no matter how nicely he spoke, she wouldn't believe him, but as soon as he said something negative, she believed it completely. This made it impossible to communicate, Miss!

"Actually, I was looking for your father... You were just a side note..." Su Yi glanced at the dagger pressed against his neck and suddenly had an idea.

He extended his left hand and lightly tapped Mu Nianci's elbow, causing her to drop the dagger. Su Yi caught it and placed it in front of Mu Nianci.

"Have you noticed the words on this dagger since you've been holding it? Have you paid attention to the words on it?"

Mu Nianci had been on edge since being thrown into the room, fearing she would be violated and lose her innocence. She had found the dagger and clutched it to her chest for security, not noticing the words. Hearing Su Yi's reminder, she finally looked at the blade.

The dagger was ancient and uniquely crafted, clearly having a long history. Two words were clearly engraved on it—Yang Kang.

This was the dagger Su Yi had obtained from Mei Chaofeng, originally belonging to Guo Jing and now in his possession...

"These two words are my real name. Now do you believe I won't lay a hand on you?"

Feeling the trembling body in his arms, Su Yi gently comforted her, "Do you think why I refused to let that little pervert in white participate in the martial arts competition during the marriage contest? I didn't want to participate myself, so why would I offend him for a stranger?"

"Fool, because if we talk about seniority, you should be my sister! How could I harm you?"

...

Mu Nianci snatched the dagger from Su Yi's hand and carefully traced the two small words. They were indeed engraved, and the dagger's material suggested it wasn't recently made. She had heard from Yang Tiexin that her father had a son and the story of the two daggers. No one else knew about this except the few involved... She looked at Su Yi, who was very close to her, and now believed him to be 90% true!

PS: I finally returned to my workplace today, and the three updates I promised are finally done. Starting tomorrow, I can resume two updates a day and finally relax a bit.
