After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

The distant sound of the school bell startled two small birds perched on the treetops. Beneath the tree, a girl in a light green school uniform was idly fiddling with the flowers and plants at her feet.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's thoughts were completely focused on the courtyard behind the low gate.

“Sister He Wan, I… am truly ashamed. I have always believed that a man should focus on making achievements and establishing a career, and at this moment, I have no energy left to attend to matters of the heart.”

Nangong Ming looked away, avoiding He Wan's gaze. He was afraid that seeing He Wan's pitiful appearance would make him change his mind...

"Young Master, is this really your own idea...?" He Wan's eyes were full of sorrow, her starry eyes half-closed, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. Her appearance was so pitiful that it made people feel sorry for her.

Fortunately, Nangong Ming did not see this situation, but resolutely said:

"No one forced me; this was all my own decision..."

He Wan seemed a little stunned and remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Ran felt that Nangong Ming hadn't been looking at her, so she couldn't use her skills and was therefore in a dilemma, hesitating to make a move.

He Wan's subsequent remarks confirmed her thoughts.

"Brother Prince, look at me..."

But before He Wan could finish speaking, Nangong Ming interrupted her.

"I'm sorry! My mind is made up. I hope that Sister He Wan will find another suitable partner and not let her heart be tied to me anymore."

After speaking, Nangong Ming turned his back to He Wan, ignoring her words.

Seeing this, He Wan had no choice but to give up. She lightly stamped her feet and then quickly ran away.

Unexpectedly, he was careless when leaving the house and bumped into Xiao Ran, who was eavesdropping at the door.

Xiao Ran reached out to help her, but He Wan stood firmly... This behavior was unlike her usual gentle and weak demeanor.

After He Wan stopped, she glanced back at Xiao Ran, and without saying a word, she ran off.

However, Xiao Ran caught a faint, almost imperceptible ruthlessness in those eyes, just like He Shi's gaze.

It's true...like mother, like daughter.

Not long after, Nangong Ming also walked out slowly, but his expression was slightly gloomy.

"How about it? Are you still attached? If you're reluctant to let go, go after them now, and you might still be able to catch up," Xiao Ran said jokingly.

"I had no such thought." Nangong Ming quickly walked to Xiao Ran's side and stopped, his gaze following the path He Wan had taken.

"It was the first time in my life that a woman had confided in me, and I felt quite awkward."

“It’s normal to feel cramped.” Xiao Ran clapped her hands lightly, shaking off the slender leaves clinging to her palms.

"If you feel at ease and at ease, it means you are truly in love with that woman. You will accept it calmly, instead of hesitating and indecisive like you are now."

Nangong Ming seemed lost in thought, but when he came to his senses, he saw that Xiao Ran had already walked far away.

"What are you still standing there for?" Xiao Ran didn't turn her head, but simply slowed her pace.

"It's getting dark, we should go out hunting."

……

The weather was gradually getting colder, and even the daytime hours were getting shorter. At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid was packing up her stall.

Xiaolan slowly closed the wooden box containing all sorts of jewelry and hairpins, her heart filled with joy.

I sold a lot of jewelry today, I'm sure the girl will be happy!

But before she could be happy for long, a group of people slowly walked over and knocked on her makeshift stall.

Xiao Lan looked up and saw several armored people fiddling with her box. One of them... she seemed to recognize him.

It was the young swordsman who had been with the girl all along.

It seems to be called... Duan Xunbu?
