Chapter 175.1: Nan Maner
Nan Maner grew up in the valley and had never seen a man as good-looking as Mu Ye. She was currently sixteen and filled with curiosity towards the outside world. Although Grandma’s guests would occasionally come into the valley, there had never been a guest that stayed quietly outside without going in to talk to Grandma like Mu Ye.
Recalling the injured girl she saw in the room earlier, Nan Maner asked, “Man, are you a friend of the girl in the room-yo?”
Mu Ye still ignored her.
If it weren’t for the fact that Mu Ye was so cold, perhaps her curiosity wouldn’t have been so strong.
“I saw that she was injured-yo. It doesn’t seem to have been inflicted by a person-yo? Did she get bitten by the wolves over in that valley?”
“Those wolves are really fierce ah! Even I’m not a match for them, and even Xiao Yuer was bitten before-yo.”
“Did you guys wander here from the valley?”
“What is it like outside the valley-yo?”
So talkative.
Two words emerged in Mu Ye’s heart.
“Man, since you have nothing to do while standing here, when don’t you just tell me a little about the world outside?” As Nan Maner spoke, she moved towards Mu Ye. Her martial arts skill was probably quite high, it was just that her technique was very strange. Her qinggong seemed like that of a snake, she seemed to slither from the trunk and over the branch, reaching Mu Ye in the blink of an eye. Hanging upside down in front of Mu Ye, she said, “How about this-yo? If you tell me about the world outside, I’ll tell you about that big sister’s condition inside the room.”
Nan Maner was quite smart. When she saw that Mu Ye’s stare was fixated on the house, she immediately figured out that he was worried about the person inside. Originally, she didn’t want to make this kind of deal because Grandma Shen had warned her that if she ever made a deal with anyone, she would kick her out of the valley.
However, she couldn’t contain her curiosity.
Mu Ye’s expression finally changed a little. His thin lips parted. “Fine.”
Eh!?
The moment he agreed, Nan Maner threw Grandma Shen’s warning to the back of her head. She asked, “Are you and that big sister lovers-yo?”
Mu Ye hadn’t expected for her to suddenly ask this. His gaze sharpened a little. “No.”
Nan Maner’s smile became even brighter as she dropped down from the branch and flipped over to sit next to Mu Ye. “Then, are you guys friends?”
“No.”
“If you’re not friends and not lovers, then why are you so worried about her-yo?” Nan Maner couldn’t understand it. “Were you lying to me?”
“No.”
“Why is it the same word again-yo!?” Nan Maner truly felt defeated as she covered her face in frustration. How could a person with so little words exist in this world!?
Mu Ye glanced at her, then continued to look towards the house. He pressed his lips together, then asked, “How is she?”
“She’s still alright-yo. Although she looks heavily injured-yo, there weren’t any large wounds. She’ll be able to recover soon after soaking in the medicinal bath awhile-yo!”
Nan Maner spoke angrily but also helplessly.
Mu Ye felt much more relieved after finding out about her situation. He gazed at the dense leaves around him as he started speaking in a cold, emotionless voice. “The world outside is cruel…”
“For the sake of money and power, there are constant battles and power struggles.”
“Secret plots, open conspiracies, constant scheming. You scheme to overthrow me, I scheme to overthrow you. It’s cold and heartless.”
There was not a trace of emotion in his voice, it was as if he was reading aloud homework. However, Nan Maner’s eyes lit up with a strange radiance. So the world outside was like this! As expected it was not much different from what Grandma said, it wasn’t wonderful at all.
She snuck a glance at Mu Ye’s cold profile. He was really a man that kept his promises. He clearly didn’t like to speak, but he did it for the sake of getting news about that big sister.
Grandma said that the most important thing about a good man is that they kept their promises. Then that meant that he’s a good man?
Grandma said that once one encountered a good man, one had to tightly grab onto him like the way one grabbed one’s own things, and not let go.
However – a depressed expression now appeared in Nan Maner’s large eyes – the man said that he wasn’t lovers or friends with that big sister, but his gaze had already betrayed him. It was clear that he really liked that big sister.
Would she still be able to grab hold of him if he already had someone he liked?
Grandma hadn’t talked to her about this before.
It was seriously vexing.

Chapter 175.2: Nan Maner
The next day, when Tang Doudou woke up from her dream, the moment she opened her eyes she saw two large, black eyes staring at her with concentration.
“You are?” She rubbed her head. It felt very swollen as if someone had pumped it full of air, it was really uncomfortable.
When Nan Maner saw that she was awake, she smiled happily. “I’m Nan Maner, Grandma’s granddaughter-yo. Big Sister, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere-yo? You can tell Maner-yo!”
What an adorable little lady.
Upon hearing this lively voice, Tang Doudou inwardly remarked with a heartfelt sigh. Then, she pointed at her head. “Hurts, it really hurts here.”
Nan Maner grabbed her wrist and listened earnestly with her head tilted for a while. Then she said, “It’s probably caused from too much blood loss. It’ll be better after a couple days of rest, Big Sister doesn’t need to worry-yo!”
Her voice was melodious and tingling, and every mouthful of words carried the word ‘yo,’ causing people to want to burst out laughing.
Yo1 is an interjection indicating slight surprise or used at the end of a sentence to soften the sentence and express exhortation. However, Nan Maner uses it overly much, probably due to habit.
Tang Doudou said with a smile, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it-yo! These are all things that Maner’s supposed to do-yo.” Nan Maner looked at Tang Doudou. It was no wonder the good man would like this big sister. Although her face was pale from losing a lot of blood, it still couldn’t conceal her delicate and beautiful features. “Big Sister, want water-yo?”
Only then did Tang Doudou notice that Nan Maner was calling her big sister. She instinctively glanced down and saw that at some unknown time, she had been changed out of her ragged clothes. Currently, she was wearing a western region-styled outfit. Exquisite silver ornaments were weaved into the material. She fell in love with it after a single glance.
“Naner, were you the one who helped me change? What is this place? Did you see the person that came with me? He’s really tall and big, and his face is like an eternally frozen mountain? A man that’s very handsome and cold?” Tang Doudou looked around the house and saw that it seemed to be surrounded by vines. Mu Ye wasn’t around, so she had no choice but to ask Nan Maner.
Nan Maner smiled. Although Tang Doudou didn’t say that she wanted to drink water, she still poured a cup for her. “This place is Tree Valley-yo. Grandma changed your clothes-yo. The cold man is waiting outside-yo.”
Tang Doudou hadn’t expected Nan Maner to answer without hesitation. She immediately felt a favorable impression towards this girl, she was really open and friendly. However, who was the Grandma she was talking about?
Also, other than Mu Ye, that mysterious person had also come here too. Where did he go?
Just as she was about to ask, an old grandma dressed in black came in from the entrance. She was probably the Grandma that Nan Maner had been talking about.
She had noticed the moment she woke up that medicine had been applied to her wounds. The cooling feeling of the medicinal paste against her wounds was very soothing.
Since this grandma was the one who helped change her, then that meant that the person who treated her wounds was also this grandma.
Thinking to here, she spoke to the grandma in a very grateful tone. “Grandma, thank you for saving me! I…”
Before she even finished speaking, Grandma Shen waved her hand and said, “There is no need for Lady to be grateful to this old one. I only helped you clean your injuries and applied some medicine. It was someone else that saved you.”
Right after she finished speaking, the mysterious person, Shen Moru appeared in the room.
Upon seeing him, Nan Maner’s large eyes became filled with fear and she subconsciously ducked behind Grandma Shen.
“Maner, head out for a while. I have things to discuss with Lady Doudou.” The first thing Shen Moru did after he appeared was to send Nan Maner out.
This was just what Nan Maner wanted. She had feared Saint King Shen the most ever since she was a child. Whenever she was with him, her entire body would tremble involuntarily with fear.
Grandma Shen left with Nan Maner. Before leaving, she even closed the door to the room, making it so that Mu Ye couldn’t see what was going on inside the room.
“What is Tree Valley?” Tang Doudou sipped the water Nan Maner gave her before looking towards Shen Moru and asking this question.
“Tree Valley is secluded by mountains and forests. It exists for the sake of protecting. It’s the guardian of the Seven Great Saint Tribes’ descendants.”
Shen Moru’s words confused Tang Doudou. What Seven Great Saint Tribes? And guardian? This was completely unrelated to what she asked?
However, the meaning in these words seemed to indicate that there was an enormous secret slowly unfolding in front of Tang Doudou.
What a troll though!
She had shown no intention of wanting to know, alright?
Regardless of whether it was Tree Valley or the Saint Tribes, or some pain-in-the-butt guardian, all these had nothing to do what her. What use was there in telling her?
Unless… Tang Doudou suddenly recalled what Shen Moru said before about fate. Heavens ah! Could it be that she’s that so-call Saint Tribes’ guardian?
The reason he brought her here was to make her continue this mission?
Shen Moru didn’t pay attention to the thoughts that were arising in Tang Doudou’s heart and continued talking on his own, “The role of guarding the Saint Tribes had been passed down since ancient times for the sake of preserving the Saint Tribes’ descendants. When the descendant appears, the Saint Tribe comes forth!’
As expected!
Tang Doudou revealed an expression as if she suddenly realized something. “I’m the guardian? Then who are you guys? And who’s the descendant that appeared?”
When she asked these questions, Shen Moru looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot. “Who says that you’re the guardian?”
Her dumbness was really not like her mother.
That woman was so highly intelligent. How did she give birth to such a dumb daughter?
“Hah? I’m not the guardian? Then could I be…” Tang Doudou sucked in a breath. The sound of ‘Saint Tribe’s descendant’ seemed really awesome. Could she be the Saint Tribe’s descendant?
Shen Moru laughed coldly. “Give up on your vain delusions, you’re not the guardian or the descendant, because you’re not good enough to be!”
…
Tang Doudou looked speechlessly at the dear friend in front of her. “If I’m not either, then who am I?”
“Hehe, I can’t tell you that.”
F*cking retard!
Those were the only two words Tang Doudou could give him.
“You probably already know about the fact that your surname is Tang, right?” Shen Moru asked suddenly when she didn’t speak.
“I don’t know!” She didn’t admit it earlier so she couldn’t admit it now either.
Shen Moru didn’t waste time on this and simply continued asking, “You’ve seen Tang Yi, that old guy right? He really is your biological grandfather. But you sure are vicious. In order to curry favor with Baili Yu, you actually tried to burn that old thing to death. Tsk tsk… you didn’t manage to burn that old thing to death, but you did burn something very important.”
Suddenly, his voice turned terrifyingly eerie again. “You’ve read that book, haven’t you?”
