The nth time I met my puppet

Yanle was still acting like a spoiled child, but Wannan remained unmoved. But at this moment, Linalu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Wannan, so you are here. I finally found you."

"Well, Lina Lu? Shouldn't you be busy right now? Why are you looking for me?" Wan Nan was a little puzzled. After all, under normal circumstances, Lina Lu would not come to her at this time.

"Actually, I'm not the one looking for you. It's Lord Sanbing who asked you to go over... You have to be careful." Linalu looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Ohhhh!!! So that's how it is! Host, I finally understand why you haven't looked for your target for so long! It turns out you were playing hard to get! The target has finally come looking for you! My seniors also told me this, and 007 didn't think of it at first. You're so smart, host!"

007's sudden and sincere praise echoed in Wan Nan's mind. Wan Nan felt it was a bit noisy and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

It was a tactic of playing hard to get. She simply didn't want to look for the scattered soldiers, but Wan Nan didn't intend to refute it. 007 misunderstood her, which was just fine for her, so she ignored 007 and let him misunderstand.

Ignoring the noise in her mind, Wan Nan focused on the problem at hand. She still couldn't figure it out.

"What does Sanbing want to talk to me about?" Wan Nan was still very confused. Almost all the interactions between her and Sanbing were initiated by her, and this was the first time that Sanbing took the initiative to look for her.

It can't be true, as 007 said, that her behavior of not looking for Sanbing was interpreted by Sanbing as playing hard to get, right?

Lina Lu looked at Yan Le, seeming to be hesitant to speak. "How about we go to the other side and talk?"

Wan Nan finally understood the reason behind Lina Lu's hesitation, but she just shook her head. Yan Le was one of her own, so there was no need to be so discreet. "Don't worry, she's one of us."

"Oh, then I can tell you with confidence. Well...how should I put it...? Do you know the recent rumors?" Lina Lu lowered her voice and whispered.

Wan Nan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then glanced at Yan Le who was standing beside him. Yan Le immediately avoided his gaze guiltily, and then Wan Nan spoke. "I know, what does this have to do with it?"

"Because... this rumor has reached Lord Sanbing's ears. It's said that two people were discussing this matter at the time, and the one who spread the rumor was chopped to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. It was even more brutal than the last time Lord Sanbing chopped you."

Wan Nan shuddered subconsciously. She really didn't want to experience the feeling of losing consciousness due to being struck by lightning again.

"But...what does this have to do with me? Why are you looking for me?" Wan Nan was a little scared. Now it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with what 007 said. It was definitely not a good thing for Sanbing to look for her!

"I don't know. Maybe he suspects that this is a rumor made up by you..." Yan Le felt even more guilty after hearing this.

"??? You can even suspect me of this? What was my situation at that time? Doesn't he know best? It was clearly him who struck me with lightning, and you still suspect me?" Wan Nan was almost in disbelief.

"I thought so too, but although we all know the reason behind it, other people don't know, and this rumor is spreading quite a lot now..." Lina Lu said helplessly.

Wan Nan felt a little helpless. She really couldn't figure out what San Bing was thinking at the moment, but the culprit... was Yan Le who was next to her.

"Yan Le... look at what you have done!" Wan Nan grabbed Yan Le's ear again.

Yan Le, now fully aware of the situation, could have avoided it, but she chose not to due to her guilty conscience. "I'm sorry, Sister Wan Nan... I didn't know it was going to turn out this way... I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"What do you want me to say about you? Alas..." Wan Nan sighed. She originally thought that Yan Le's rumor-mongering would only ruin her reputation, but she didn't care much about it. After all, she was just here to complete a mission.

But now it looks like her life is in danger, right? If the soldiers identify her as the instigator of the rumor, her fate will probably not be good...

"I'm sorry, Sister Wannan, I can go with you! I was the one who spread the rumor, and I am willing to take the responsibility myself." Yan Le obviously realized his mistake and also wanted to atone for it.

Wan Nan was a little surprised when she heard this. In this situation, if she took the initiative to take responsibility, wouldn't that be courting death? After all, the person who spread the rumor was beaten half to death, and this little girl still dared to take the responsibility herself?

Lina Lu was also a little surprised. She really didn't expect that the person who spread the rumor was the little girl next to Wan Nan. She looked like a good child, but she could spread such an outrageous rumor.

"No, you can't go."

Wan Nan frowned and firmly rejected Yan Le. If she went, at most the door would be reopened, but if Yan Le went, he would be dead.

To be honest, Wan Nan actually liked Yan Le. Why? Perhaps she saw a bit of her sister in her. So she wanted to protect this little girl.

"Linalu, could you please keep an eye on her for me? Don't let her run around."

"Of course I can, but..." Lina Lu was puzzled. In such a dangerous situation, why would Wan Nan still side with the culprit? Shouldn't it be natural for her to bear the consequences of the trouble she caused?

But when she saw Wan Nan's eyes, she knew she couldn't change Wan Nan's mind, so she didn't say it in the end.

"Okay, then I'll go find the stragglers." Seeing that Yanle had been controlled by Linalu, Wan Nan prepared to leave.

"Wait! Sister Wan Nan! Take me with you! You can't go like this. I can't let you bear the consequences of the trouble I caused!" Yan Le wanted to break free, but she couldn't.

Wan Nan waved and left.

"007, I feel like this time I'm going to reopen. Sanbing already has a bad impression of me. He might actually suspect that I'm deliberately spreading rumors and slandering him out of my infatuation..."

"Hiss... It's possible... But! Host, don't give up, don't give up on yourself! And the favorability is still 1% right now. It's not a negative number yet, don't worry too much! Have confidence in yourself."

007 was a little worried, but still spoke encouragingly.

"...Come on. What's the difference between one percent and nothing?" Wan Nan got angry when she heard 007 mention this 1%. The highest in history...it really is the highest in history, right?

"Host, as long as it's not the last moment, it's not time to give up! Think positively. His favorability hasn't dropped, and maybe he doesn't doubt you. Maybe that's a good thing."

007 kept talking. He always had the most innocent and beautiful attitude and didn't understand the intrigues of human beings.
