However, the expressions on the two beauties’ faces and the tone of their voices were a bit out of tune with this tranquil setting.
"Nako, I know you an well, but please don’t ever say that kind of thing again!" The girl whose pure, water-like temperant was seven or eight points similar to Lin Bingxuan’s had a solemn look written all over her pretty face as she spoke in an earnest tone.
On the other side, Kojima Minako’s pretty face flushed red as she said anxiously, "Han Yan, you have to believe , that Xiao Tian really did say that, and he even to ... Anyway, he’s just a complete and utter bastard!"
A trace of displeasure flashed in Liu Hanyan’s beautiful eyes, but she still pressed, "What did he do to you?"
Faced with Liu Hanyan’s questioning, Kojima Minako opened her mouth several tis but found it hard to speak, so she could only say, "Han Yan, I only want to tell you that that bastard really doesn’t deserve your deep feelings!"
Kojima Minako had slandered Xiao Tian "in front of" Liu Hanyan several tis, and the latter finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She sprang to her feet and said, "No matter what you say, I know better than anyone what kind of person he is. And you should really make sure whether you’ve mistaken him for soone else."
Hearing the normally gentle Liu Hanyan rebuke her so sharply, Kojima Minako didn’t look angry at all; instead, she only felt an overwhelming heartache for the girl in front of her.
At first, when she listened to her tell their story, Kojima Minako had faintly felt so envy, thinking that such a kind and beautiful Liu Hanyan should indeed have such happiness!
However, when she actually saw the Xiao Tian from Liu Hanyan’s mouth, her worldview felt like it was collapsing, and she even started to suspect whether they had mistaken him for soone else.
Now, seeing Liu Hanyan’s reaction, Kojima Minako truly didn’t know what to say. This inexplicable confidence Liu Hanyan had in Xiao Tian was sothing she really couldn’t understand.
In fact, it wasn’t that Kojima Minako hadn’t considered the possibility that she had the wrong person. After all, there are plenty of people with the sa na, but the title of Hunter was not sothing that could be faked.
If I misidentified him, does that an all those experts are blind too?!
It was just that Kojima Minako had really never expected that she had originally wanted to test what position Liu Hanyan held in his heart, but in the end she had almost gotten herself dragged into it.
Besides, there was one thing Kojima Minako still couldn’t figure out up until now, and that was Xiao Tian’s strength.
Previously, she had also heard, more or less, about Xiao Tian’s great battle with Thunder King Salon and the number-one expert Hidden Needle.
But now, how could his strength suddenly drop to this level?!
Thinking back, this ti it was her being too full of herself. She never thought the other party would show such indifference toward Liu Hanyan. She let her guard down and ended up suffering such a huge loss!
However, Thunder King Salon and Hidden Needle had actually fought him for real, and Xiao Tian had battled two experts of the sa level in succession.
Yet, judging from Kojima Minako’s current assessnt, based on the strength Xiao Tian had displayed, it was simply impossible for him to have fought great battles with Thunder King Salon and Hidden Needle!
As for hidden trump cards, Kojima Minako absolutely did not believe that Xiao Tian had any ans that could instantly boost his strength by a whole major level.
Seeing that Liu Hanyan had that look of "no matter what I say she won’t believe ," Kojima Minako could only forcibly swallow her anger and say, "Han Yan, I’ll prove it to you, I’ll let you see what kind of..."
Kojima Minako instinctively wanted to curse Xiao Tian, but when she thought of Liu Hanyan’s extrely serious expression just now, she had no doubt at all.
If she dared curse that bastard one more ti now, this gentle girl from a few years ago would instantly blow up and fight her to the death!
Kojima Minako knew very clearly that once Liu Hanyan lost her temper, she was really not soone to be trifled with!
Fortunately, she managed to choke back the rest of her words in ti.
A mont later, Kojima Minako let out an angry cold snort. "Anyway, I’ll make you see his true face beneath that mask. I hope you can still be this full of confidence then!"
With that, Kojima Minako no longer lingered and stepped straight onto the narrow winding path leading out of the bamboo grove.
In the small courtyard, only Liu Hanyan was left by the stone table. She propped her elbow on the table, resting her fragrant cheek on her hand, her gaze distant and complex as she stared into the distance.
Is he doing well now?
He must think I’m already gone, right?
After a long ti, Liu Hanyan withdrew her distant, complicated gaze and turned back toward the bamboo hut.
As for what Kojima Minako had said, she truly didn’t take it to heart.
On this point, Liu Hanyan had absolute confidence in Xiao Tian.
And the reason that supported this confidence was nothing else: because she understood him, so she was confident!

Kunlun Mountain.
"Huff..."
Sun Miaohan braced her hands on her knees, panting heavily as she glared at Xiao Tian in front of her and said crossly, "Why are you hiding from ? Am I really that annoying to you?!"
Xiao Tian sized up Sun Miaohan, whose face was flushed red from strenuous exercise, and replied just as crossly, "I should be the one asking you that. Why have you been following ?!"
"Didn’t I say it from the beginning?" Sun Miaohan looked utterly baffled as she said, "To evaluate you, obviously. You don’t know this, but that junior sister of mine’s brain hasn’t worked quite right since she was little—she falls for people and gets tricked super easily!"
Xiao Tian was a bit speechless. Was this really for Ji Dantong’s sake, or was she just finding new ways to call Ji Dantong an idiot?
However, Xiao Tian still had to explain, "First of all, Ji Dantong and I are nothing more than casual acquaintances—nowhere near close enough to warrant you ’evaluating’ ."
"Second, if that really is the reason you’ve been following , then I think you can leave now."
Sun Miaohan instantly brightened, a gleam flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Really? I knew it. With a personality like my junior sister’s, how could she possibly land such a handso boyfriend!"
"..." Xiao Tian opened his mouth. He knew perfectly well she was talking nonsense with a straight face, yet he couldn’t find a good reason to refute her.
"Since that’s the case, why don’t we consider getting together instead?" Seeing that Xiao Tian didn’t speak, Sun Miaohan imdiately seized the opportunity and scooted closer, looking every bit the starry-eyed fangirl.
"I already have a girlfriend." Xiao Tian refused calmly.
He felt he was fairly good-looking, but not to the extent that everyone who saw him would fall head over heels for him.
Besides, he’d never seen soone who’d known him for less than half a day, only t him a few tis, and then just ca right out with a confession.
"Then why isn’t she by your side?" Sun Miaohan looked Xiao Tian up and down suspiciously, then broke into a bright smile. "But having a girlfriend is fine. I can take the chance while she’s not around to sow a little discord between you two!"
Holy shit!
Xiao Tian was genuinely stunned. Soone could really talk about being the other woman so righteously? How could there be such a person in this world?!
"What did you just... say?" Xiao Tian asked, a little unsure he’d heard right.
"Uh..."
Sun Miaohan seed to realize she’d said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "What I ant was, since your girlfriend isn’t with you, there must be so conflict between you two, so I want to use this opportunity to help diate things."
