Therefore, Jiang Zhennan didn’t know what happened in the Lin Family Village.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Oh, so you’ve been searching for me for a day.” Then, she asked, “By the way, masked uncle, what rumors are there about me in the village?”
Jiang Zhennan couldn’t bring himself to repeat the rumors. They were the subjects of the rumors too. Jiang Zhennan frowned slightly and said, “There are some rumors in the village that say that you have an ambiguous relationship with us. Therefore, Lin Qi is going to punish you for violating public morals!”
Lin Yuelan was well aware of these rumors. She was also aware of Lin Daniu and Lin Qi plotting to punish her. Unfortunately, they were unable to do that anymore because they had their own rumors to deal with.
One of them became paralyzed and the other had a marriage to save. Lin Yuelan easily dealt with those two.
Lin Yuelan looked at Jiang Zhennan with a half-smile and said, “masked uncle, you’ve been in the mountain for a day and a night, so I’m afraid you don’t know that Lin Daniu was caught for having an affair with his fourth sister-in-law. As for Lin Qi, he has broken his spine and now needs people to serve his every need. Do you think they still have the energy to punish me?”
Jiang Zhennan was dumbfounded by Lin Yuelan’s words.
He didn’t know about this at all.
However, Lin Yuelan had never left the mountain before, so how did she know?
Seeing the confusion in Jiang Zhennan’s eyes, Lin Yuelan touched the jade bracelet on her left hand with her right hand, and then called out clearly, “Little Green!”
The jade bracelet immediately turned into a green vine as thick as a finger. It had a tender yellow bud and two green leaves the size of a baby’s palm. Then, under Jiang Zhennan’s dumbfounded gaze, it slowly became thicker and bigger, and suddenly became a vine as thick as three adult fingers.
Although Jiang Zhennan had seen little green twice, he had only seen it from afar. He had not seen its true form.
Now, he saw with his own eyes Little Green climb down from her hand. Then, it rapidly grew bigger and bigger.
‘Is this Little Green?’ Jiang Zhennan stared at Little Green in shock.
Lin Yuelan patted one of Xiao Lu’s leaves and said, “Little Green, come and say hello to the masked uncle!” Since she had decided to trust Jiang Zhennan, she might as well expose everything.
Little Green’s tender yellow bud curved, and with the voice of a three to a four-year-old child, he said, “Hello, masked uncle! I’m little green!”
Jiang Zhennan came back to senses and his mouth twitched when he heard how Lin Yuelan had addressed him. It seemed like he would always be a masked uncle to Lin Yuelan.
Jiang Zhennan quickly greeted Little Green. “Hello, Little Green. I’m… I’m a friend of your master!”
Little Green nodded and said in a tender voice, “yes, I know you’re a friend of my master! I also know that you’re the defender-general of this country, the victorious general of the people!” Then, he asked, “masked uncle, will you take Little Green away for research?”
Jiang Zhennan was stunned and did not react in time. He asked, “What research?”
“Research on how to seize the energy from Little Green!” Little Green said innocently.
Jiang Zhennan furrowed his brows slightly. He seemed to understand what Little Green meant. Little Green was worried that someone would capture him and then absorb his energy to use as their own. Jiang Zhennan didn’t know why Little Green would ask this question, but his heart wrenched.
Jiang Zhennan said in a serious tone, “Little Green, don’t worry. No one will capture you to study you. So, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you well! I will also protect your master well!” Jiang Zhennan swore to grow stronger to live up to his promise. Even if Miss Yue ‘Er’s secret was exposed in the future, at least he could protect them.
Lin Yuelan’s mind stirred.
At this moment, Lin Yuelan would be lying if she said she wasn’t touched by Jiang Zhennan’s words.
It had been two lifetimes and five years since the end of the world. She had always been the one protecting others, and no one had ever said that they would protect her.
This was the first time someone had told her that they would protect her!
Even though she didn’t need the protection, her heart was filled with a sweet feeling when she heard Jiang Zhennan’s promise.
Little Green’s tender shoot immediately became pink, showing its excitement. He said excitedly, “masked uncle, will you really protect my master? Will you protect me?”
“Oh, that’s great!” Little Green suddenly jumped up from the ground and flew into the air. It spun a few times and then quickly became smaller. It became a vine as thick as a finger and flew to Lin Yuelan’s shoulder. “Master, did you hear? The masked uncle said that he would protect master and Little Green.”
For Little Green, his master was always first and he’d come second.
After Little Green circled around Lin Yuelan’s shoulder a few times, it quickly flew to Jiang Zhennan’s shoulder. Its sharp sprout rubbed against his face and said excitedly, “masked uncle, you’re such a good person!”
Lin Yuelan’s mouth twitched. Little Green was bought just like that.
‘I’ll have to educate Little Green in the future. Not all people who speak good words are good people. There are many wolves in sheep’s clothing.’
Jiang Zhennan was in close contact with Little Green. He was so nervous that his entire body tensed up, and he did not move at all. He was afraid that he would accidentally shake Little Green off.
Seeing this, Lin Yuelan immediately laughed again and said, “masked uncle, what are you afraid of? Don’t worry. Little green isn’t that weak. It won’t break that easily.”
She turned to Little Green, “Little Green, hurry up and come down. You made the masked uncle so scared that he doesn’t dare to move.”
Little green came down with a squeak.
Then, he stood in front of Jiang Zhennan and said with a little grievance, “masked uncle, is Little Green that scary? But master says that Little Green is cute.”
