Chapter 151: Self Defense?
Both Mu Ting Ye and Yu Shi Lan looked at each other, both refusing to back down.
In Mu Ting Ye’s opinion, he didn’t want this incident to affect Yu Shi Lan’s experience when she was in the base. It was not her fault at all, so why should she be affected by this matter?
It was those people who were at fault.
He hadn’t asked what had actually happened, but he had already come to this conclusion.
His bias was extremely strong but Mu Ting Ye didn’t seem to notice it.
In Yu Shi Lan’s opinion, the matter of her killing in the base was indeed a bit excessive, but she was acting in self defense. As long as the base didn’t make a big trouble out of it and acted impartially, then it would be fine.
"You..."
"I’m only acting in self defense. If they investigated those people’s phones or movement trajectory, wouldn’t this case be clear? Don’t be so self righteous!" Yu Shi Lan sneered in anger.
Mu Ting Ye wanted to get angry but in the end, he forcefully calmed himself down.
Seeing the anger in Yu Shi Lan’s face, he took a deep breathe and then said, "I see."
Then he would not suppress this matter but use his connection to make sure that they would handle the matter impartially. If those people thought about putting the blame on Yu Shi Lan’s shoulder... Mu Ting Ye’s eyes turned cold.
Xiao Mao inside Yu Shi Lan’s pocket was actually confused.
How come these two people ended up almost fighting with each other.
Just when she was about to interrupt, Mu Ting Ye had already backed down and she felt somewhat relieved.
Until he sensed a familiar coldness coming from Mu Ting Ye’s direction.
Xiao Mao was stunned.
She peeked out of the pocket with disbelief as he stared at Mu Ting Ye. It was the same killing intent that she used to sense from Yu Shi Lan.
Weaker and fainter, but it’s there.
And Xiao Mao knew very well that only the real geniuses would be able to start sensing these intents when they were weak.
Before they reached the Foundation Establishment, they wouldn’t be able to manifest this intent.
This boy...
He’s definitely another genius like Yu Shi Lan.
’How come there are so many geniuses in a small place?’ Xiao Mao didn’t understand but he felt that this Mu Ting Ye was somewhat more pleasing to the eyes.
If Mu Ting Ye had the qualification to become a cultivator... perhaps he would look even more pleasing to the eyes.
Yu Shi Lan naturally also sensed it.
She looked at Mu Ting Ye in front of her and knew that while he had given up the thought of covering up this matter, he should be planning something else.
And this plan...
It might involve some killings.
Yu Shi Lan was confused.
She had only interacted with Mu Ting Ye for a short period of time and didn’t even know much about him.
Why did he want to do so much for her?
Why did he trust her so much?
It felt inexplicable.
And yet, there was warmth in Yu Shi Lan’s heart that she couldn’t explain.
"Mu Ting Ye, why did you trust me so much?" Yu Shi Lan asked slowly as she looked at Mu Ting Ye in front of her. His brown eyes seemed to reflect her figure and remained as calm and composed as before. Aside from the outburst of emotion for a while, it had restored to its calmness again.
She couldn’t read his expression.
But she wanted to know.
"You barely know me and all we have is just some conversation with each other. The first time we met, isn’t it because of Lian Lei Xu’s matter." Yu Shi Lan looked at Mu Ting Ye in confusion.
’No, it’s earlier.’
This is what Mu Ting Ye thought in his heart as he looked at the young woman in front of him. She’s not even a year younger than him, but she seemed to possess strange resilience and ruthlessness far beyond her age.
Before seeing Yu Shi Lan having a confrontation with Lian Lei Xu, Mu Ting Ye had already seen her on the street.
At that time, he was just accompanying his older brother who wanted to go back to the military region. Since he had nothing to do, his mother ordered him to help his brother to carry his luggage.
Mu Ting Ye was not very happy about it.
But he still listened to his parent’s order and followed his older brother and his best friend.
At that time, he saw Mu Ting Yu came to the side of a young woman who looked pale and sick.
Mu Ting Ye didn’t care too much.
He was not such a busybody to help strangers, especially if it involved medical matters. It would be too troublesome if he was asked to help them take their medicine.
His older brother had no such scruples.
As soldiers, Mu Ting Yu will prioritize other people’s safety far above his own.
So when he saw other people who might be in need for help, he would offer up his help and come to them.
Mu Ting Ye had even saw his older brother accidentally provoked many women in this way, which made him utterly speechless. The worse thing is that Mu Ting Yu never realized how lethal his handsome face is for those women.
He felt that his brother was provoking trouble.
But when Mu Ting Yu offered to help Yu Shi Lan, the young woman might have a pale face, but she was stubborn.
Mu Ting Ye didn’t think too much about it.
He just didn’t expect to see her again when he sneaked out at night to avoid his mother’s nagging and helped his friend to take a night shift. Anyway, that kind of work would be nothing more than to experience life for Mu Ting Ye.
And that time, Yu Shi Lan’s calm behavior attracted his attention.
