Chapter 53 New Mission
Chapter 53: A New Mission.
"Father," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, "if women are so inferior, then it stands to reason that I shouldn’t even eat with men." With that, she stormed out, the tent flap snapping behind her like a whip.
’ Sigh... Poor girl. I definitely know how that must feel.’ Lin Mu shook his head with pity inwardly.
’ Big sister...’ Mei scrambled to her feet, her playful demeanor gone, replaced by a quiet worry. "I’ll go after her," she murmured, casting a glance at Lin Mu before hurrying out.
Lin Mu seized the moment, rising as well, his voice steady but urgent.
" You needn’t worry sir."
"I’ll check on her too," he said, though his intentions lay elsewhere. He slipped out into the night, the cold air biting at his skin as he scanned the camp.
Instead of following the sisters, he flagged down a nearby guard, a young man with a nervous demeanor. "Tell the tribesmen I’ll be in secluded cultivation for a while," Lin Mu said, his tone leaving no room for questions. "No one is to disturb me, Understand?" The guard nodded, and Lin Mu turned back toward his tent and left.
«[Well this is surprising... For a second there, I thought you were really going after her.]»
" And why would I do that? It’s not like she’d listen to me if I tried. Going after her would only make things worse... Lian definitely comes off as the type of person who’d hate to be pitied.’
’ Like grandpa once said... there’s nothing more dangerous than an angry woman. But I guess in this case, an angry wife.’ Lin Mu said half jokingly.
