Han Yan led the trio of henchmen down the street.
"This looks good, Iâm going to buy some for my Qing Wan." Zirong stopped in front of a shop selling dried fruits.
"Buy, buy, buy." Han Yan waved generously, tossing a silver note to Zirong, "Buy whatever catches your eye. Itâs all on me today."
Zirong happily accepted the silver note and began instructing the shopkeeper to pack a bag of each type of dried fruit in the store.
"Show off your love, break up fast." Jiang Yuzhe remarked indifferently from the side.
"What the heck! Do you even know how to talk?" Zirong wasnât pleased upon hearing this, glaring at Jiang Yuzhe, "You, youâre clearly just jealous and envious."
"So what if I am!" Jiang Yuzhe admitted boldly, missing his little tigress dearly as she wasnât around.
"I think you two should shut up and help Young Master," Huayue suddenly said quietly.
The two stopped bickering and looked up ahead.
At this moment, Han Yan was being "harassed." But this kind of "harassment" is something other men envy greatly.
"Young Master Mu, please accept this gift. Itâs not a valuable gift, just a token of my affection." A delicate young lady dressed lavishly, accompanied by several maidservants, was looking at Han Yan fervently, holding a fragrant sachet. Anyone could guess that the sachet was sewn by the young lady herself.
"Huh?" Han Yan looked puzzled. She was the Capitalâs number one playboy; Mu Siyiâs reputation was infamous. What was this girl thinking? Approaching her to express admiration, she must have mistaken her identity, right? Han Yan wasnât aware of how drastically her image had changed in peopleâs minds. Now she was the Capitalâs hotshot young talent, idolized by countless young girls. When she defeated the people from Shangyue Country, she was the center of attention, and that imposing figure had deeply embedded itself in peopleâs hearts.
Before Han Yan could regain her composure, she saw the young lady in front of her rudely pushed aside, and another stunning face appeared before her.
"Young Master Mu, please accept my token of affection." This was an even prettier girl, holding a delicate Brocade Box, evidently containing a carefully prepared gift. This beautiful girl seemingly had a better family background than the previous one. The girl who was pushed aside initially wanted to get angry, but upon recognizing who pushed her aside, she swallowed her frustration.
"Um, ladies, have you mistaken me for someone else?" Han Yan smiled awkwardly. But both addressed her as Young Master Mu, was it just a coincidence?
"No, Young Master Mu, I admire you, please accept the gift." Suddenly, people surged from all directions of the street, mostly young girls, though a few were older, but their eyes shone with a fervor not losing to the enthusiastic young ones.
"Young Master Mu, please accept my gift."
"Young Master Mu, this is a Brocade Handkerchief I stitched myself."
"Young Master Mu, please accept this painting; itâs painted by me." The chatter buzzed in Han Yanâs ears, and various fragrances made Han Yan want to sneeze.
"Whoa, Young Master is about to have a harem of three thousand?" Zirong exclaimed.
"Are you daft..." Jiang Yuzhe rolled his eyes.
"I think we should help Young Master," Huayue said.
"How to help?" Zirong asked, twitching his mouth.
"I donât know." Huayueâs expression was calm.
Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe: "..." What should they do about wanting to hit Huayue?
Han Yanâs head was spinning; by this moment, she was convinced these people were definitely not mistaking her for someone else. Misidentifying one person could be passable, two could barely pass, but so many people, it was unreasonable for all to mistake her identity.
Han Yan waved, smiling awkwardly, "Sorry, I appreciate everyoneâs intentions. No need for gifts, could you please move aside, I have some matters to attend to."
"Young Master Mu, when will you be free to attend a banquet?" Someone invited.
"Young Master Mu, whatâs your favorite food?" Some began asking Han Yanâs preferences.
"Young Master Mu..." The chatter was so loud that Han Yanâs head was about to explode. It was her first time being so popular, such fortune...
But she really couldnât enjoy it.
"Donât you know Iâm known as Mu Siyi?" Han Yan grimly tried scaring away the fervent women.
"Rip mine, rip mine!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Yan said that, a girl rushed over, puffed her chest, her eyes ablaze.
"No, rip mine, mine!" Another robust girl shoved past the first girl, rushed in front of Han Yan, looking at her expectantly.
"Mine, rip mine!" Voices rose one after another.
Han Yan opened her mouth wide, her mind was blank at that moment.
What was going on?
Were they all eager for her to tear their clothes?
"Oh my, these women are terrifying, willing to lose face just to marry Young Master." Zirong wiped his foreheadâs cold sweat on the side.
"Quite the fortune indeed." Jiang Yuzhe smacked his lips, sighing.
"I believe Young Master isnât interested in this fortune," Huayue said heavily.
Han Yan turned around at this point, looking at her trio of henchmen speaking nonsensical remarks from the sidelines, her gaze icy, startling the henchmen trio into a shiver.
The meaning in Han Yanâs eyes was that if you donât come and assist, whatâs the use of you, better chop you up and feed you to the dogs, such complex meaning, surprisingly understood by all three at that moment!
"Please let Young Master pass, he has business to attend to, so let him pass," Zirong squeezed through, trying to rescue Han Yan submerged within the swarm of young women. But he found he couldnât squeeze in... they were ordinary young ladies without cultivation; he couldnât use force, what else could be done? While hesitating, he got squeezed out of the crowd by two plump posterior sides.
Huayue couldnât help but burst into laughter.
Jiang Yuzhe smacked his lips, feeling a lingering fear. These women had already lost their minds. If you think about it, now Young Master is still perceived as a male, unparalleled in beauty, high in status, with yesterdayâs overwhelming influence that stunned many. Saying all this, it mostly comes down to looks. If a short, ugly, sleazy man also fought valiantly and won, maintaining Anyun Countryâs honor, the people would cheer, respect him. But these young girls wouldnât swarm eagerly expressing affection at the street corner.
"If you genuinely admire Young Master, you should consider him too. Indeed Young Master has matters to attend to; blocking him, if it delays his affairs, everyoneâs conscience would feel troubled. You can hand your gifts over to us three guards instead." Jiang Yuzhe, unusually enlightened, persuaded earnestly.
