As the Meng siblings prepare to attack the fake boyfriend of Ling'er, she unsheathed her sword to shield him from them as she spoke, "If you take one more step ahead, you will lose your head from your neck. Don't blame me later that I didn't warn you...no one can touch my Yue Yan."
Her eyes were filled with unwavering resolute as her voice sounded as if she would really do what she declared, there was no doubt about it. Even Yue Yan was surprised by her sudden action and Bing'er was delighted, seeing her sister protecting him for some unknown reason that she didn't even know.
Both Meng Hu and Meng Bao took a step back in fear as they were all aware of the Shangguan Ling'er who was famous on the continent for her great talent in sword mastery.
Even Meng Clan didn't dare to go against Shangguan Clan as this was a clan that protected Trasia country against the dangerous forest and wild beasts. Their strength was higher than all other clans and only below the royal family.
"Why are you protecting him Shangguan Ling'er? He insulted our father, we can not let this go without taking his life." Meng Hu said, his voice was flowing with anger.
"If what he said is true then he isn't wrong with his words. His father didn't even care about Yue Yan and pushed him to a point where he broke his bonding with the clan." The crimson-haired beauty responded and took his side as she had heard about the incident through secret intel sent by her clan.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) "How can you make him your Lover...he is a 'Trash'...we all know how he never able to cultivate to the next rank." Wang Min said in annoyance.
He continued, "I'm going to tell Uncle about this. He won't agree that his beloved daughter being married to a 'Trash' like him"
The boy's voice was filled with joy and contempt as he mocked Yue Yan. He was delighted in his heart as he realized Ling'er's lover was a 'Trash' who she picked to spend the rest of her life with. The thought of Yue Yan being at TianHai academy in the same year as him and not being really what the rumor said never crossed his mind.
Ling'er fake boyfriend was about to summon his Guardian shield to thrash them on the spot but when he saw Shangguan Ling'er step in he had a better impression of her and decided to see her performance.
He didn't think she would take a stand for him against his step-siblings. He was happy in his heart as he saw this.
"Do what you think but he is anything but a 'Trash.'" The girl spoke, as she remembered how Yue Yan had easily intimidated her during their duel.
"Meng Long...today you were saved by Shangguan Ling'er but who would save you tomorrow from me?" Meng Hu asked with an evil smile that was present on his face.
"Why are you acting like a third-grade villain from some second-grade stories...just go away...I don't have time to play with you guys..." Yue Yan waved his hands in oscillation motion to shoo them away as if they were flies.
"Ahh...Let's go, Brother Wang..." Meng Hu grumbled as he decided to leave the scene with his friends.
The step-sister Meng Bao also twisted her face to rude gesture at Yue Yan before turning around to go away.
Wang Min had a mocking smile as he was thinking about how he would complain to Shangguan Ling'er's father to remove the boy from her life and ask to marry her.
After they all left, Shangguan Ling'er turned around as Bing'er also approached him who was standing nearby, watching the unexpected incident.
"You need to explain yourself..." The crimson-haired beauty asked, crossing her arms.
"Why do I need to explain? Are you my mother?" The boy had a feeble smile on his face as he asked confidently.
"You should stop provoking her intentionally... We are your teammate so at least you should explain yourself." Shangguan Bing'er said from the side, her voice was gentle.
Yue Yan moved his eyes to look at her, thinking about how did she start talking about being a teammate from not even making him his friend.
The Shangguan sisters were really strange and couldn't stick to their word. Since the boy didn't know how Ling'er had begged Bing'er to help her to make him act as her fake boyfriend.
"I used to be known as Meng Long...I lived peacefully without cultivating as I didn't want to be bothered by the outside world and spend my time reading...but my second brother didn't like it as one day he poisoned me and I almost lost my life.
When I saw Meng Chen didn't come to see me after I was bedridden I realized how cruel this world can be if you don't cultivate. Big sister came to fetch me from the clan as they wanted to send me to the branch family clan.
On that day, I swore to heaven in my mother's name that I would break all bonding with the Meng Clan. I left to accompany Big sister to here in tianhai Academy. I can not tell you what happened next as it's my secret..." Yue Yan explained his story in short with a mix of lies and truth in good balance.
The Shangguan Sisters had surprise flickering in their eyes as they heard about his sad past, their eyes twitched when he called his father by his real name...
"I thought only my parents didn't care about me... you had even worse..." Shangguan Bing'er mumbled...
"Why what happened???" The boy asked as he raised his brows.
"Father didn't adore her like me and gave her the cold shoulder after knowing her Spirit is broken and cannot be healed." The crimson-haired beauty answered, her voice was flickering with sorrow.
"Since we have similar pasts, so if you want I can be your daddy and you can be my mommy. How about it?" He asked shamelessly but his eyes were filled with affection.
"Daddy?" Bing'er mumbled once then remembering something, she clenched her fist and punched him in the chest...
"Argh...I will take that as yes..." He rubbed the place where she hit him without using spirit energy as she turned around to walk away.
A hint of redness was spread on her cheeks as she had read books about those words. Her favorite task to do as a loner was to read books so she was aware of these words that were used among lovers.
Shangguan Ling'er wasn't that aware as she mostly spend her time with sword and cultivation. She said, "That's nice of you but you have a long way to go...If you treat my sister well, I will let you be her best friend in the future."
The crimson-haired beauty patted his head as she also turned around to go after the white-haired beauty.
"Such a weird combination of sisters..." Yue Yan mumbled as he also followed behind them.
The trio walked towards the city gate to enter the forest as they needed to cross it to reach the Silver moon village.
The sun was just starting to rise on the horizon as they set out on their journey.
The Shangguan Sisters had packed light, each carrying a backpack filled with two sets of clothes that were hanging on their back.
As they walked deeper, the dense forest grew thicker and darker. The trees blocked out most of the sunlight, leaving them in a dim, green-hued verdant world. The ground was soft and spongy underfoot due to the moss and fallen leaves muffling their footsteps.
"We need to pass this forest but we will have to take another route so we don't encounter them." Shangguan Ling'er declared as she closed the paper map and kept it in her bag.
"How long would it take us to reach there?" The boy asked as he wasn't aware of this village. It wasn't formed when he lived in this world thousands of years ago.
"If we went using the normal path, then it would've taken us sixteen hours but this one would take us seventeen if we want to avoid the beast on our way." the crimson-haired beauty said as she walked alongside her sister.
"Okay...then are we going to camp in the forest during the night." He asked.
"Yeah, we will have to find a safe place and stop our journey or we will get attacked by the wild beasts" She responded, her voice didn't show any fear.
"How are we going to sleep in the wild without anything?" The boy asked, although he had lived in the wilderness for many years in his past life but he still wanted to know how much these two sisters had experienced.
