Chapter 1374: Going Home Tomorrow, Waiting for Me at Home

Charness was the principal of the Hunting School.

Old Sir Mu and the people standing behind him were shocked at Yun Jian’s words, even Mu Rui had gasped.

How dare Yun Jian talk about the Hunting School’s principal like that! Did she know what she was saying?!

When they recovered from the surprise, Mu Rou who stood farther away with Yang questioned Yun Jian, “You’ve lost your mind from wanting to brag huh! How dare you talk about Principal Charness like this? Even my grandpa is respectful of Principal Charness, who do you think you are to say that about him!”

Despite what Mu Rou said about Principal Charness, she did not even know what the principal looked like in reality. It was only because Old Sir Mu had often brought the principal up in front of his descendants with a reverent tone that Mu Rou snapped back at Yun Jian with words that Old Sir Mu would like to hear.

Yun Jian merely smiled—an indifferent smirk.

Old Sir Mu jolted at the sight. Right after Mu Rou spoke, he looked at Yun Jian in shock and asked her disregarding Mu Rou, “How did you know about the assassination on Principal Charness by elite assassins previously?!”

He looked at Yun Jian in astonishment with a slight gape of mouth.

The scene stunned the others who stood behind Old Sir Mu as well. It had been years since the old man wore such an alarmed expression. What was more important was that despite the girl’s rude words, it was the truth?

“Is it difficult to find out about it?” Yun Jian turned to glance at Old Sir Mu and pressed her lips lightly into a small smile.

If Old Sir Mu had only seen Yun Jian as an interesting child in the beginning, he could not help treating her seriously now. It was difficult for regular people to find out the news but the incident was no secret to the insiders of the trade.

It was the first time Old Sir Mu encountered a young girl he could not figure out, so he squinted his eyes and let out a bark of laugh suddenly to alleviate the awkwardness just when the atmosphere felt tense for no reason.

“Hahaha, girlie, interesting—very interesting! That’s right, an attempt to assassinate Principal Chanress by a team of elite assassins took place previously. I didn’t expect someone from a younger generation like you to know about it too!”

Old Sir Mu did not plan to interrogate Yun Jian right in front of everyone and he had even changed his term of address to her from “young lady” to “girlie”.

If it had been any other person there, they would have questioned Yun Jian to get to the bottom of the matter but Old Sir Mu was already in his seventies now. With age came his wisdom and experience, so he understood the notion that one should not try to get to the root of the matter the more mysterious it seemed. He was not about to get himself into trouble!

What Old Sir Mu said embarrassed Mu Rou to no end. After all, she was the first to retort Yun Jian.

Mu Rui did not even expect Yun Jian to be so clear about something he completely had no idea of, and it was the first time he felt like he had met a rival—who was just a girl no more than 18 years old!

“Girlie, you’re very interesting. Make sure you stay longer with us! I heard that your military school is on a seven day’s break, right? Why don’t you spend the break here with us? Don’t leave!” Old Sir Mu invited Yun Jian.

It was an ordinary request to ask someone to stay but it held a different significance coming from Old Sir Mu himself. The old man was meritorious during wartime when he was younger and had even become a general. Even when he had retired now, he was still known for his achievements.

Point was, those who were personally invited to stay with them by Old Sir Mu were either elites with impressive accomplishments or famous military talents!

It was the first time he had invited a teenage girl so seriously! That surprised everyone, especially the men who stood behind Old Sir Mu.

It was then Yun Jian who stood before Old Sir Mu pressed her lips together and she rejected him directly despite the envy-evoking invitation. “No thanks. I’m going home tomorrow. My mom’s waiting for me at home.”
