The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Like a bolt from the blue, Yu Wan was struck and left dizzy.

Her leg... was broken?

Has she become lame?

God, please don't play this cruel trick on her!

Atana saw Yu Wan's instantly dejected expression and realized that her words were ambiguous, so she quickly corrected herself, saying, "Your legs are broken, but my father has already set them. The anesthesia is still working, so you may not be able to feel your legs."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wan felt that she was capable again.

She looked at Atana with a hint of reproach in her eyes and couldn't help but whisper, "Miss Atana, could you please not speak so dramatically next time?"

She was so scared she almost stopped beating.

A hint of guilt flashed across Atana's spirited little face. She stared at her toes and kicked at the air, "I won't do it again next time~"

so cute!

Yu Wan's eyes lit up, and she immediately forgave Atana.

Atana supported her arm and helped her back onto the bed, patiently instructing her, "Aye said your leg injury is very serious and you can't get out of bed for a while. I will come to change your dressings every day, so you can rest and recover here."

Yu Wan was very grateful, but she couldn't feel at ease no matter what she thought of Yun Shang.

But her legs...

After careful examination, I realized I didn't feel anything at all.

Yu Wan couldn't help but feel a little down, and responded softly.

Atana assumed she was worried about her injured leg, so she reassured her that it was nothing serious, then blinked and asked, "What's your name?"

Yu Wan looked up and saw Atana looking curious. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm older than you, you can call me Sister Yu."

Atana immediately called out in a clear voice, "Sister Yu!"

Atana's overly enthusiastic attitude made Yu Wan a little wary, but as Atana continued her incessant chatter, Yu Wan realized why Atana was so enthusiastic towards her.

She is currently in a secluded village within the Wushaoling Mountains, with a total population of only twenty, less than fifty people.

Atana's Aye is the village chief, and Atana is the next chief.

As the future tribal chief, Atana was required from a young age to always present her dignified and serious side to the tribe. As a result, Atana didn't have any close girlfriends in the village, as they all thought she was too serious and rigid.

The girl must have been holding back a lot for her to be so enthusiastic towards Yu Wan, a complete stranger.

In Atana's view, Yu Wan was not from their village, so she could show her true nature in front of her.

After listening to Atana's endless chatter, Yu Wan smiled and reached out to pat her head. "If you're willing to consider me your friend, then I'll be your friend from now on."

"Really, Sister Yu!" Atana's cheeks flushed with excitement. "You really want to be my friend?"

“I’m willing,” Yu Wan nodded.

Atana looked almost dizzy with happiness. She leaned over the edge of the bed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yu Wan. "Then it's settled. We'll be friends from now on, and we can't let a third person know our little secrets, okay?"

Yu Wan tilted her head and asked her, "What little secrets do we have between us?"

Just as Atana was about to answer, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Yu Wan watched as the lively and agile Atana suddenly stood up straight, her little face serious and tense, without any expression.

"Atana, why aren't you home yet?" The person who pushed open the door was an elderly man in his fifties who was leaning on a cane.

He wore a dark red robe embroidered with intricate patterns, resembling some kind of totem.

The moment Yu Wan saw the old man, she guessed that he must be Atana's father. The two had almost identical expressionless faces.

Atana placed her hands in front of her chest and bowed to the old man, her voice solemn and calm, "Father, what brings you here?"

Yu Wan couldn't help but look up at her.

This little girl looks completely different now than before.

Chief Tuji raised his eyelids and glanced at Atana, his expression serious. "She's awake?"

Atana turned to look at Yu Wan, who then spoke up, "Thank you for saving my life."

Tuji nodded slightly. "Although Yanji Village does not welcome outsiders, I rescued you on my own initiative. You can recover from your injuries before leaving. However, the villagers do not like strangers, so please stay inside and do not go out easily."

Atana had already told Yu Wan about these taboos.

Yu Wan felt that this was simply a paradise for people with social anxiety. She didn't have to be stared at like some rare species; she could lie still like a salted fish.

Simply perfect!

Yu Wan readily agreed, "Clan leader, please rest assured, I will definitely not go out recklessly."

Tuji nodded solemnly, then turned to Atana and said, "Atana, you should go home."

The tone was one that left no room for refusal.

Atana gave Yu Wan a pleading look, her eyes full of reluctance to leave. Yu Wan couldn't help but chuckle. After a moment's thought, she said, "Chieftain, I'm new here and have some questions for Miss Atana. Could you ask her to stay a little longer?"

Yu Wan felt that although Chief Tuji looked cold and serious, he must be a very soft-hearted person.

As expected, although Tugi frowned, he still said, "Atana, you have not finished your prayers for today in at most half an hour."

Atana was so happy that she almost couldn't keep up her serious expression. She suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth and tried her best to keep her happy. "Okay, Father."

Tuji came suddenly and left quickly. As she watched his figure disappear from sight, Atana's face relaxed instantly, and she sat slumped in the chair.

She swung her legs and looked at Yu Wan happily, "Sister Yu, thank you."

Yu Wan was also infected by her smile and couldn't help but smile back.

She's still such a child, getting happy so easily.

Yu Wan could tell that Atana had been raised in a very naive way in this isolated village. Not only her, but probably everyone in the village was unaware of the wickedness of human nature.

Bending down to massage her legs, Yu Wan listened to Atana speak, but her thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

I wonder how Yun Shang is doing... He's the male lead, he has the male lead's halo, he'll definitely be fine, right?

Meanwhile, at Wushaoling.

The men sent by Magistrate Yang arrived first and found it to be a complete ruin.

They did not act rashly. When Prince Chen arrived with his men, he discovered the mark left by Yun Shang in the woods, and his expression changed drastically.

Everyone saw that Prince Chen, who had been calm and collected, suddenly changed his expression and anxiously shouted at them, "Find him! Find him for me! Even if we have to turn the whole mountain upside down, we must find Yun Shang!"

Cloud-shaped wine cup?

Magistrate Yang and his yamen runners were startled.

They all knew Yun Shang, but they couldn't understand why he would appear in the deep mountains of Wushaoling.
