The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

The next morning, it was still early, the sky still shrouded in a light gray mist, and not yet fully lighted. However, Ru Yue and her group were already busy, quickly packing their luggage and preparing to set off.

When they arrived at the inn's lobby, they were surprised to find it already packed. These people were likely travelers who had stayed the previous night, and most were planning to leave for the capital that day. The crowd was bustling with activity, a cacophony of voices rising and falling. Some were anxiously awaiting their companions, while others were discussing their itineraries.

Just then, Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an caught a glimpse of the An family's peculiar siblings. The elder brother, An Zixuan, was dressed in lavish attire, his face brimming with pretensions of superiority; the younger sister, An Xinyue, was lavishly dressed, her charming demeanor tinged with a hint of capriciousness. Standing together, the two of them were particularly striking.

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an simply glanced at them, pretending not to notice, and continued to busy themselves with their work. In fact, they secretly hoped that the siblings would be more tactful and not be so shameless as before. After all, no one wanted to be disturbed by such an unpleasant person along the way.

An Binghuai, with his sharp eyes, saw them slowly descending the stairs, and he gave his sister a subtle look. An Yi, as if receiving some important signal, instantly understood.

But in reality, even without her brother's glance, the moment she saw Chu Ning'an, her entire being lit up with excitement. Her eagerness was like a starving fly seeing blood, and she didn't need anyone to tell her what to do! With a swift movement, she rushed towards Chu Ning'an impatiently.

When they got closer, An Yiru's face blossomed with a smile as bright as a flower, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she said in a soft voice: "Young Master, I didn't expect that you are also preparing to set off at this time! This is really a coincidence! As the saying goes, meeting is fate. In this case, why don't we go on the road together? This way we can take care of each other along the way, don't you think?" As she spoke, she had already moved closer to Chu Ning'an warmly, and she looked as intimate as possible, as if she had known the other party for many years.

Many of those who had already witnessed the spectacular spectacle the previous night were now gathered. Seeing the woman still shamelessly pushing forward with her face, they were once again tempted to join in the fun. The hall, previously bustling with the clamor of a market, suddenly became quiet. As if under a spell, the chattering crowd instantly fell silent, their gazes fixed on the woman struggling to move forward.

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an, standing nearby, glanced at each other. Their eyes met, and they understood each other. Deep within each other's eyes, they clearly saw a deep sense of helplessness and an overwhelming sense of disgust. This dislike hadn't formed overnight, but rather accumulated gradually over a long period of contact and understanding. At this moment, they simply hoped this farce would end quickly, and that this repulsive woman would disappear from everyone's sight.

Ru Yue didn't want Chu Ning'an to lose face because of a woman's rude words, so she had to step forward and bow and said, "Hello, Miss An. Before we went out, the elders in our family repeatedly warned us not to walk around with strangers, so as not to be misunderstood as impolite. We dare not disobey the teachings of our elders, so we dare not do as Miss An asked. Please forgive us!" She bowed again and pulled Chu Ning'an out the door.

Her voice, as clear and melodious as an oriole chirping out of a valley, brimming with childlike innocence, flowed like a stream, reaching the ears of everyone present. Everyone couldn't help but glance sideways, and once they saw who was speaking, they all expressed admiration. Furthermore, her manners, revealing her good upbringing and good manners, endeared her to everyone.

In stark contrast, the An siblings stood nearby. Everyone shook their heads, secretly sighing: These young ladies and gentlemen raised by these so-called wealthy families are truly unapproachable! Look at their arrogant and disrespectful demeanor. Where is the slightest trace of aristocratic demeanor?

Seeing his sister hit a snag once again, An Binghuai's expression suddenly turned grim. He suppressed his discontent and spoke again, "Young lady, why are you so unkind and keep rejecting us so many miles away? My little sister is simply lonely on this journey, and since we're quite compatible, she wants to travel with you so we can look after each other. I hope you can fulfill my sister's wish." He stared intently at the woman before him, a subtle glint of anticipation in his eyes.

Ru Yue's face flushed with rage, her chest heaving violently. Her eyes widened as she stared at the shameless man before her, her fury surging as if it were about to burst forth. She had never imagined such a shameless person could exist in the world! Just as she was about to turn around and curse him harshly to vent her anger, she felt a strong hand grip her arm.

Chu Ning'an had intervened in time to pull her back. He gently supported Ru Yue and slowly turned her around. The two of them faced the infuriating An Binghuai, yet Chu Ning'an stood there silently, saying nothing. A hint of scornful ridicule was evident in the corners of his slightly raised mouth.

At the same time, An Yiru was staring at Chu Ning'an's handsome face, her eyes filled with endless obsession and admiration. She had completely forgotten that she was in public, completely ignoring the strange looks from others, and even a shy blush appeared on her cheeks.

After seeing this scene, the people around cast a look of contempt and disdain towards An Yiru, obviously feeling very disdainful of her unrestrained behavior.

An Binghuai felt as if those two gazes were real, firmly fixed on him. He was secretly furious, but he couldn't keep a straight face any longer. He had to bite the bullet and say, "Brother, I wonder how my brother and I have offended you two to make you speak so harshly to me again and again? I hope you can explain it clearly!"

At this moment, Chu Ning'an, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly lost his smile, like the fading warmth of spring sunshine. Instead, a pair of eyes, as cold as stars, shone with an incomparably icy light that seemed to freeze the soul. He slowly opened his lips, and icy words gushed out, word by word, like a hammer hammering down on everyone's heart: "A man must love himself before others will love him; a man must respect himself before others will respect him." These few words, resounding and clear in the unusually quiet atmosphere, sent shockwaves through everyone's heart.

After he finished speaking, his gaze slowly swept over the siblings, a cold and distant expression, as if they had nothing to do with him. Then, without hesitation, he took Ru Yue's soft, boneless hand and strode out of the inn. The entire process was smooth and effortless, without even a glance back at the An siblings.

At this moment, a profound phrase suddenly echoed through the hall: "A man must insult himself before others insult him." Like a thunderclap, it detonated the already noisy hall. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, and they began whispering and chatting amongst themselves.

Upon hearing this, the An siblings' faces instantly turned red as liver, their shame and anger erupting like a volcano. Their eyes widened as they scanned the hall, searching for the person who had dared to publicly humiliate them. However, the hall was packed with people, each one looking enthralled, their faces either playfully grinning or gloating, but no one came forward to admit having made the remark.

An Binghuai's once handsome face was now twisted and distorted by anger. He stared fiercely at the people in front of him and said with gritted teeth, "Listen up to me! Watch your mouths! If you dare to offend my An family, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will make sure you all pay for it!"

At this moment, An Binghuai no longer had the gentle and modest demeanor he usually had. He was like an enraged snake, baring its fangs and ready to bite anyone!

He turned to look at An Yiru who was dejected, the anger in his eyes seemed to burn her out, and roared: "What a useless waste! You can even mess up such a trivial matter! How could I have a sister like you who is more of a hindrance than an aid!" After that, he glared at her fiercely, still not satisfied.

Then, An Binghuai strode out of the inn without looking back. Watching her brother's retreating figure, An Yiru's heart was filled with grievance and anger, but she could only bite her lip silently, not daring to even breathe, and followed him out of the inn in a timid and resentful manner.
