The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Chapter 780 I'm a nobody

To be honest, Yu Ying was completely different from what he had imagined.

When his aunt mentioned Cang Ming and Yu Ruoling, Zhao Mu instinctively thought that these so-called "chosen ones" were arrogant and haughty, and that they would be picky about how they interacted with others, let alone being approachable.

But who could have predicted that this girl would be such a clingy, persistent follower?

And he has a strong sense of principles.

After all, someone of her status could easily use her power to intimidate others, or at the very least, find an opportunity to take advantage of her and snatch what she wanted. But Yu Ying still insisted on the principle of equal exchange.

Are the people in the Holy Land all this kind?

Zhao Mu couldn't help but have such doubts, after all, he knew better than anyone what kind of geniuses the sects on the Kunwu Continent were.

One more thing...

Zhao Mu was quite curious as to why Yu Ying was so friendly to him.

He didn't think that a single stone skin would be enough to make the other party willing to befriend him.

Because of strength?

No, no!

Zhao Mu isn't that narcissistic. Right now, he's no match for Yu Ying; there's a whole level between them.

Why do you keep glancing at me, Brother Zhao?

As Yu Ying walked along the road, she noticed Zhao Mu looking at her more than once. His gaze seemed to want to strip her naked, but of course, he had no dirty intentions.

"Nothing, I was just curious why you were so friendly to me."

"It is fate that we met, and besides, I think Brother Zhao is a good person and I like him very much."

???

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu paused for a moment, then looked at the other party with some suspicion and asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Yu married?"

"???"

This time it was Yu Ying's turn to be confused. She didn't understand why Zhao Mu asked this question, but she still answered, "I am not yet married."

"Were your parents forcing you to marry someone you didn't like?"

"not at all."

"Pursuers everywhere, aren't you tired of them?"

After Zhao Mu pressed her for an answer, Yu Ying finally understood what he meant. He thought she had used him as a shield.

This answer made her laugh, and she shook her head slightly, saying, "Brother Zhao has quite a few ideas, but don't worry, I'm not that kind of shameless person. Besides, after the previous transaction, Brother Zhao should understand that if I really have such a need, I will definitely inform you in advance and give you a certain reward, right?"

"That's true."

Zhao Mu nodded in agreement, but his doubts remained. Yu Ying's attitude towards him was excessively kind. If he had even tried to get closer to her, things wouldn't have come to this. Yet, he hadn't done anything at all.

"and many more......"

Zhao Mu suddenly thought of something and asked, "You don't think I'm special because I didn't pursue you like other men do, and you want to get to know me, do you?"

"That's certainly one reason, but it's not a big deal."

Yu Ying asked with a smile, "Brother Zhao, I am indeed quite curious. You seem to have no interest in me at all. To be honest, I'm even starting to doubt my own charm."

"I already have a Daoist partner."

Zhao Mu smiled slightly and said, "Even if you were twice as beautiful, I would never be tempted. Just consider it me upholding male virtues!"

"Upholding male virtues, hehe, Brother Zhao, you're really funny."

Behind them, two sword attendants followed. Seeing their young mistress laughing so hard she was shaking, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

“I grew up with Miss and I have never seen her smile so happily.”

"More than that, for so many years, no man has been able to get even a foot close to Miss. Now, Miss and that Zhao Mu are almost side by side."

"Hey, do you think Miss might actually have taken a liking to this guy?"

"No way! Miss is such a proud and talented woman, how could she fall for such an ordinary man? You know, Miss doesn't even put Cang Ming in her eyes."

"Fate is predetermined; perhaps Miss has met her destined soulmate!"

"Should we tell the head of the family about this?"

"Go if you want, I won't betray you, Miss."

"I don't know either. Anyway, I'm not very smart, so it's normal that I can't figure it out."

"..."

The two maids communicated using telepathy, which Zhao Mu and Yu Ying were unaware of.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhao Mu then followed Yu Ying into the Green Water Pavilion.

There weren't many people, only twenty or thirty, but Zhao Mu could sense that each of them was exceptionally strong and kept their abilities hidden. At least among the people present, he wasn't confident he could defeat any of them.

He couldn't help but glance at the two men sitting in the most conspicuous positions.

The one on the left was wearing a brocade robe with lotus patterns and long boots with cloud patterns. He had a jade pendant with tree patterns hanging from his waist. He was nearly seven feet tall, almost two meters and one inch taller than Zhao Mu by half a head.

Of course, what he valued most was that the shawl this person was wearing was a bit strange. It seemed as light as a feather, but it gave Zhao Mu the feeling of being heavier than Mount Tai.

"This person... might be a cultivator, and a very powerful one at that."

Zhao Mu was secretly shocked. This was the first time he had ever seen someone of the same cultivation level who could rival or even surpass him in body tempering. If he was not mistaken, this person should be Cang Ming.

As for the man next to him, dressed in a light purple robe, with a face as beautiful as jade and eyes that carried a slightly gloomy air, that was probably Yin Yu.

As Zhao Mu sized up everyone, everyone was also sizing him up.

Most of the people present recognized Yu Ying, and many even coveted her. She was beautiful, exceptionally talented, and a member of the Yu family. Who wouldn't want such a Daoist partner?

"I wonder which sect or school this fellow Daoist beside Fairy Yu belongs to? He looks quite unfamiliar!"

"Indeed, I have never seen a man get within a foot of Fairy Yu. Could it be that you are Fairy Yu's brother?"

"Fairy Yu, could this fellow Daoist be your Daoist partner?"

"..."

Zhao Mu chuckled inwardly. Sure enough, being by the side of a beautiful woman always attracted too much attention. He shrugged slightly and said to the crowd, "Everyone, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. My relationship with Fairy Yu is just a chance encounter."

And that's all for now. I already have a Daoist partner, and I don't want to tarnish Fairy Yu's reputation.

Furthermore, if word gets out and my wife hears this, she probably won't let me into bed tonight. Please, everyone, let's leave this matter alone.

After speaking, Zhao Mu bowed slightly to Yu Ying, then casually found a secluded corner to sit down. He was there to observe the opponent he was about to face, not to show off and become the target of everyone's criticism. He was content to remain a nobody.

Upon hearing Zhao Mu's words, the men who were interested in Yu Ying all breathed a sigh of relief.

Because what he just said was tantamount to telling everyone that he had no feelings for Yu Ying. Who wouldn't believe what he said in public?
