Chapter 56: Chap 56

I am He Yu, the third child of the master of He clan. I was born a mediocre child, and I intended to lead my life as such. I have no great ambition, unless you count my wish of living a life without much friction as one.

 

Several moons ago I was thrown into a forest full of demon beasts, such is my clan’s infamous way of ensuring their heir candidates are up to speed. My little life was saved by a meeting that is nothing short of a miracle. I met her, and her senior too, but the most important fact is meeting her.

 

Her name is Dong Yun An. She is smaller and younger than me, outer appearance wise. Inner values though, she is far superior to me. She is strong in all senses of the word. In a world where qi dictates one’s power, she can wrestle with demon beasts using her physical might alone. In a situation where her life could be endangered, she was collected, fearless, and thoughtful. Her being is a grandhall where weaker souls can find shelter under its awning. I wholeheartedly believe I can find safety under her shadow.

 

Today, I was once again proven right. I saw a genius far above me being subservient to her. My imagination forms the figures of a beast cub and a tiger matriarch. She calmly listened to his wish and pointed out the problem with his demands.

 

It was then that I caught the glare of people from Dong clan. From the perspective of a person who knows the inner story of these two such as myself, it is somewhat understandable,  but to the Dong’s servants’ eyes, it is an insult to their master. Dong clan is a big clan. At the center of their vastness is the main family. Needless to say, the position between the rising star of Dong clan and a young lady from a remote branch family is similar to that of a noble and a commoner. Not taking their difference in age into consideration, young lady Dong should be cowering in front of their master. That was what they were expecting. From their interpretation, young lady Dong couldn’t be any further from an opportunist who was not even respectful to their master.

 

Normally, they should have spoken something like any servant of any house would to reprimand the young lady. Have they held themselves back? It could be. Young master Dong will be extremely angry if his servants somehow displease young lady Dong. I know this because the young master treats the young lady with that much respect, or at least that’s what I deduced from our past conversation. The floating rumours and gossip should help these servants arrive at the same conclusion. They probably know that they should stay silent and that their master was supposed to act that way to get young lady Dong to listen to young master Dong’s wish. However, they definitely don’t understand the why behind those actions.

 

Undoubtedly, young lady Dong must have noticed those attitudes. Perhaps, she was letting it slide. For someone as great as her, she probably didn’t see a reason to pick on them. Another explanation is that she was ignoring them for young master Dong’s and their sake. Take it like this, your distant cousin found you, apologised to you, begged you to let him compensate for your mistreatment, and you rejected him. It would further dishearten young master Dong if she faulted his servants in front of him.

 

Anyhow, the atmosphere is getting silent. If the two in the center of this have no other discussion, I should open a different topic. This quiet mood is not very good. We were the ones who barged in her table. It’s our duty to not spoil the mood right after our intrusion.

 

“Young lady Dong. It has been a long while since then, but He Yu has never stopped being grateful for your help. He Yu wants to once again thank you for your heroic act.”

 

Did I choose the right words? Why is she looking at me like that? Shoot! I forgot. With her personalities, being overly formal is the same as pretentious. I sound exactly like those young masters of lower families who tried to bootlick their superior. My intention may be the same, but that must be uncomfortable to her.

 

“You are too courteous, Young master He.”

 

Come on, head. Think! Think of something!

“The young lady had shed blood for He Yu. It’s only right for He Yu to be mindful. However, if the young lady prefers, He Yu will refrain from doing so.”

“Then, Yun An wishes you would treat Yun An as your friend.”

“Certainly. With that being said, may He Yu inquire the young lady about the injuries from that time?”

 

Young master Dong has an expression that he wanted to ask the same question. The other priority and then the shock of rejection must have made him forget.

 

“Thank you, young master He. Those wounds have all healed.”

“He Yu is happy to know.”

 

I take out a silk pouch and present it to her.

 

“Young lady. The aid of yours and young master Tian, He Yu will repay appropriately in a later time. This pouch is a token of my appreciation.”

 

Leaving the cover of the pouch, the qi it gives off is even more intense.

 

“This midsize stone is slightly better than a normal stone of the same size. As embarrassing as it is, this is the strongest beast He Yu could hunt. He Yu knows how shameful it is to represent such an insignificant thing to the young lady. However, He Yu couldn’t just meet the young lady with empty hands..”

“Young master He. You say this is the beast you hunted?”

“It is, young lady.”

“The weight of your sincerity, I shall accept it.”

“The young lady has honoured He Yu.”

 

Great! I didn’t slip off this time. It was the correct gift after all.
