Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Mu Wanqing quickly stepped forward, tugged at Qin Hongmian's sleeve, and said respectfully, "Master, this is my benefactor who saved me from the assassins of Mantuo Manor yesterday. His name is Wu Changfeng, Young Master Wu. If it weren't for Young Master Wu's help, I'm afraid I would have met with misfortune."

Qin Hongmian's brows furrowed even more, her gaze still fixed warily on Wu Feng, her voice icy: "Why did you bring him back? Have you forgotten that I told you I don't like men coming here, and I especially don't like outsiders disturbing our lives?"

Mu Wanqing bit her lower lip, raised her head, and looked at Qin Hongmian with a firm gaze: "Master, your disciple has come to resign. Your disciple has no way to repay Young Master Wu's life-saving grace, and has decided to stay by Young Master Wu's side to repay his kindness. Therefore, your disciple wants to leave here and follow Young Master Wu."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongmian's brows relaxed slightly. Her gaze swept back and forth between Mu Wanqing and Wu Feng. After a moment of silence, her tone softened as she advised, "Wanqing, your master has told you that men are not to be trusted. Trusting men never ends well. Think about it carefully. Do you really want to go with him?"

Mu Wanqing lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, then raised her head with a firm look in her eyes: "Master, I have thought it through. Young Master Wu is a good person. I believe in him and am determined to follow him to repay his life-saving grace."

Looking into Mu Wanqing's resolute eyes, Qin Hongmian knew her mind was made up and there was no point in trying to persuade her further. She sighed softly and remained silent for a moment before saying, "In that case, go. Take good care of yourself while you're away. Be careful in everything you do and don't trust others too easily. If you suffer any injustice, come back to your master."

Mu Wanqing smiled happily and bowed to Qin Hongmian, saying, "Thank you, Master! I will remember this and will visit you often in the future!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Wu Feng, her eyes filled with joy, and said softly, "My benefactor, let's go."

Wu Feng nodded slightly to Qin Hongmian as a greeting, then looked at Mu Wanqing and nodded gently: "Okay."

"Wait." Just as the two were about to turn and leave, Qin Hongmian suddenly called out to them, her gaze falling on Wu Feng. "I have something to say to him. Wanqing, please wait outside for a moment."

Mu Wanqing paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Wu Feng, her eyes filled with worry.

Wu Feng gently patted her shoulder, his tone mild: "It's alright, I'll go talk to your master, you can wait for me outside."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing nodded gently: "Alright, then I'll go feed the horses. My benefactor, I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, she turned around and walked to where the horse was tied. Leading the black horse, she slowly walked to the edge of the grass and began to feed it. However, her eyes kept glancing towards the bamboo house with a hint of worry.

Wu Feng watched Mu Wanqing leave, then turned to Qin Hongmian, his face regaining its composure, and quickly followed after her: "Miss Qin, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Qin Hongmian glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to walk into the bamboo house: "Come in."

Wu Feng pursed his lips, secretly thinking that Qin Hongmian was quite aloof, but he didn't say anything more and followed Qin Hongmian into the bamboo house.

The bamboo house was small and simply furnished, with a bamboo bed, a bamboo table, a few bamboo chairs, and several pottery jars in the corner with a few herbs inside.

The window was half open, and the bamboo leaves outside swayed in the wind, rustling softly.

A faint herbal scent filled the air, mixed with the bitter aroma of bamboo and wood.

Qin Hongmian walked to the bamboo table and sat down, gesturing for Wu Feng to sit opposite her.

Wu Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He pulled out a bamboo chair, sat down, and looked at her calmly.

Qin Hongmian stared at him for a moment, her eyes as cold as frost: "You saved Wanqing, and I owe you that favor. But you'd better remember, if you dare to bully her or cause her the slightest grievance, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you with my own hands."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, but his face remained calm and still as still as a stagnant pool.

He leaned back in his chair, his hands casually resting on his knees: "Don't worry, Miss Qin, I'm not that kind of person. I won't let Miss Mu suffer if she's with me."

Qin Hongmian stared at him for a long time, seemingly trying to determine whether his words were true or false.

After a moment of silence, she withdrew her gaze, her tone softening slightly: "Wanqing has been raised by me since she was little. She hasn't seen much of the world, is simple-minded, and easily trusts people. Since you're taking her away, you must protect her and not let those petty thugs in the martial world bully her."

Wu Feng nodded: "I will."

Qin Hongmian stared at him for a moment, then finally nodded slowly, the coldness on her face fading slightly: "Alright, go ahead. Wanqing is waiting for you outside."

Wu Feng stood up and bowed slightly to Qin Hongmian: "Miss Qin, farewell. I will bring Miss Mu back to see you when I have the chance in the future."

Qin Hongmian waved her hand, saying nothing more, but a complex look flashed in her eyes, a mixture of relief and reluctance.

Wu Feng turned around and stepped out of the bamboo house.

The sunlight outside was a bit too bright, so Wu Feng squinted and scanned the bamboo forest before spotting Mu Wanqing.

She was squatting by the grass, holding a handful of grass in her hand, feeding the black horse little by little.

The black horse lowered its head, curled its tongue, and ate the grass with relish.

Sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting a soft golden glow on her.

Hearing footsteps, Mu Wanqing quickly looked up. Seeing Wu Feng emerge, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She stood up and hurried to greet him, her eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and concern: "My benefactor, my master... didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

Wu Feng shook his head: "No. He just told me to take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing smiled with relief, the tension in her eyes dissipating. She said softly, "That's good. My master... she's actually a very nice person, just a bit cold-hearted and not very good at talking."

Wu Feng nodded without saying anything more.

He walked over to the black horse, reached out and stroked its neck. The black horse gently rubbed against his palm, letting out a low hum.

Mu Wanqing watched his actions, her smile deepened, and her eyes softened.

She stepped forward and said softly, "My benefactor, let's go."

Wu Feng nodded, then nimbly leaped onto the horse's back.

Mu Wanqing also mounted the horse and sat behind him, gently grasping the hem of his clothes with both hands, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her heartbeat quickening.

"Giddy up!" Wu Feng shouted softly, and the black horse reared up, let out a long neigh, and galloped out of the bamboo forest.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded into the distance, and the bamboo leaves swayed in the wind, rustling softly.

Standing by the window of the bamboo house, Qin Hongmian gazed in the direction the two had gone, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She sighed softly and murmured, "Wanqing, I hope you've made the right choice..."

After saying that, she turned and went back into the house.
