Chapter 88 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Nan Yin didn't care at this moment why Nan Xi looked so pale. She directly ignored her little sister and looked at Ye Sa Li in front of her. "Are you Mr. Wang Mr. Wu Luo mentioned?" Nan Yin had a polite smile on her face as she greeted. "You are Nan Yin, as Wu Luo mentioned? Thank you for taking care of Wu Luo some time ago," Ye Sa Li nodded silently, then added, "Thank you for naming number three as well." "..So, you knew about this." Nan Yin smiled wryly. She was a little puzzled why Ye Sa Li in front of her looked like he was about to reveal something. "It's true that not giving her a name was to prevent her from attracting attention too early. But unexpectedly, she got such a name accidentally... the implication is good, thank you on behalf of Wu Luo," Ye Sa Li said with his hands in the pockets, looking at the guests at the party. It seemed that Wu Luo was heavily dependent on this Nan Yin... If those people acted as promised at the auction, she could leave Wu Luo to this person. "What are you two... What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Who is this little one? And who are you?" At this moment, Li Meng couldn't help but speak up, as she stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Ye Sa Li. "This is the second young lady of Long Qian Group, right? Nice to meet you," Ye Sa Li seemed to have just noticed the second young lady of Long Qian Group at this moment. He took off his hat and paid his respects to her: "I am the steward of the Tianzhou Department of the Imperial Army Group. Miss Li Meng, if you don't mind, you can call me Mr. Wang." Ye Sa Li's calm demeanor left Li Meng puzzled. She tried to recall what exactly the Imperial Army Group was, but her mind drew a blank in the end. "The Imperial Army Group... Hmph, I've never heard of you. You might just be another small company that popped up from nowhere," Li Meng looked at Nan Yin beside her and added, "Nan Yin, I'm going to check on what my father is doing. Remember to find me before you leave." Nan Yin nodded and saw Li Meng off before turning to Ye Sa Li. "The Imperial Army Group?" Nan Yin went straight to the point and asked. "..After all, we are just a small force in the li world, so it's normal that Miss Li Meng doesn't know. It was a bit abrupt of me to introduce myself," Ye Sa Li said without showing any sign of remorse on his face. "The li world... Mr. Wang does seem to know quite a lot," Nan Yin smiled, but she was even more puzzled. She didn't understand why Ye Sa Li inexplicably told her these things. Even though it was their first meeting, Ye Sa Li seemed certain that Nan Yin was not just an ordinary girl from the slums, mentioning the li world without hesitation. What does he want to tell me? Nan Yin wondered. "Nan Yin, the li world is where the illegal ability users gather,” at this time, the little Wu Luo in Nan Yin's arms thought that Nan Yin really didn't know about the li world, and was ready to speak up to explain... of course, the little girl spoke out of turn. "...." Nan Yin was speechless and rubbed her forehead. Why did she suddenly feel that Ye Sa Li, who was like a riddle, and the innocent Wu Luo were a weird combination, quite contradictory? "Wu Luo is right," Ye Sa Li said with a tug at the corner of his mouth. Then he suddenly looked down at his watch. "Miss Nan Yin, I’m sorry, but I still have some tasks tonight, so I'll leave Wu Luo in your care for the time being." After Ye Sa Li finished speaking, he glanced back at Nan Yin thoughtfully and added mysteriously, "Miss Nan Yin, your extraordinary means in the Philo District some time ago, we... may have a chance for cooperation in the future." It was only after Ye Sa Li left that Nan Yin realized, the other party had thoroughly investigated her before the confrontation tonight, even including the actions of the White Wolf and the Koubu faction... Ye Sa Li was indeed not as simple as he was in the original work. "Nan Yin, Nan Yin? What are you looking at? Mr. Wang has already left," at this time, the Wu Luo in her arms noticed that Nan Yin had been in a daze for a long time and couldn't help but speak up to remind her. "Huh? It's nothing. I was just thinking... Today, little Wu Luo is so cute. Would big sister be unable to resist taking you back home?" Nan Yin squatted down and teased with a smile. "Uh... but I still have tasks today. Mr. Wang won't let me go home with you," unexpectedly, Wu Luo took Nan Yin's words seriously. Her face first lit up with joy, then turned into a disappointed expression. This made Nan Yin feel a bit at a loss. She quickly said a few more kind words to comfort the poor little girl. Speaking of which... what did Ye Sa Li mean by saying they might have a chance for cooperation in the future? Did Ye Sa Li's words represent the Royal Army Group or just himself? Distracted, Nan Yin pondered over Ye Sa Li's words while also failing to notice that Nan Xi had unknowingly approached her. Refusing Su Ran Ran's offer to "personally lead the way," Nan Xi walked up behind Nan Yin. Honestly, looking at the scene in front of her, Nan Xi only felt a wave of bitterness and a hint of grievance. The cautious Nan Yin who was soothing the white-haired girl she had never seen before, the Nan Yin who was smiling softly and lovingly, was something Nan Xi had not seen for a long time - or to be precise, something she hadn't seen ever. In the memories she had buried deep inside, there was also a gentle sister who had once treated her with as much care and attention as Nan Yin was giving to Wu Luo... No, that was Nan Yin. "Sister..." Unconsciously, Nan Xi whispered. Sadly, Nan Yin, who was already preoccupied, did not hear this unconscious murmur and didn't even notice that Nan Xi had come to her side. But Wu Luo, who had been paying close attention to Nan Xi, did hear it. She blinked her large pink eyes, then reached out to touch Nan Yin's cheek to bring her back to reality. "Nan Yin, someone is calling you, you know?" With Wu Luo's reminder, Nan Yin finally realized that someone was behind her, turned around, and saw that it was Nan Xi, who had just left in a sulk. The smile on her face faded a little. Nan Yin put away the gentle and polite smile in her eyes and smiled, "It's you, huh? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Nan Xi could clearly see Nan Yin's smile quickly fading to just a trace, and that the gentle and affectionate look that she had expected had completely disappeared from her eyes. It made her feel an acute pain in her heart. "I... I..." for some reason, the two words that she had unconsciously whispered before never came out again. Nan Xi felt like there was a needle stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to talk. "Sister, who is she?" Unlike Nan Xi, Wu Luo liked to call Nan Yin "sister" because she had always wanted an older sister. "She?" Nan Yin glanced at Nan Xi, then at Wu Luo. After hesitating for a moment, she explained, "She is my foster father's daughter." "......!" The dark-haired girl suddenly took a step back, feeling like something had shattered. Sensitively picking up on the vibe, the conversation seemed to be a rather sensitive one.
