Ancient Eden

Chapter 95

~End of chapter 94

The only thing Mu Qing could not figure out right now was why that man with the black scar was stopped by Gang Tu when he was about to do something harmful to her.

He clearly said something at the time but she didn’t understand it.

She didn’t think the morality of these people had reached the height of thinking there was anything wrong with molesting or raping a female captive in public.

Which meant there was a reason.

Could it be that Tu Lu had mentioned beforehand to Gang Tu that he was not allowed to touch her? But why did he purposely want…… to protect her? On a daily basis, he had a very cold relationship with Li Mang, and he was even less of a friend to her.

Mu Qing felt a little confused. But she quickly put this behind the back of her mind. Compared to her confusion about Tu Lu, the fact that Li Mang was being secretly targeted was the most critical matter.

In an ordinary hostage exchange, it was impossible for the other party to suddenly launch a deadly sneak attack after having already achieved their goal. She believed that Li Mang most likely had realized it himself, after seeing the poisoned arrow that day.

But she was still a bit uneasy and felt that she still needed to mention it to him. So that evening, when he accompanied her to fetch water by the stream, Mu Qing used words she had pondered over for a long time to remind him to be careful of Tu Lu, and that Tu Lu wasn’t a good person.

For the first time, she felt so dejected and impatient about the fact that she couldn’t yet fluently communicate with him, and by the end of her sentence, she even stuttered.

Li Mang listened to what she was saying with great attention at first. He most likely understood her words, for there was a slight glint of light in his eyes. Then he noticed her somewhat reddened face and the gestures she kept making, so he reached out and rubbed her hair randomly to mess it up, and then he started laughing.

Mu Qing brushed his hand away with some displeasure, glared at him, and then gathered her hair with her fingers.

Li Mang laughed even more happily. When Mu Qing saw him extend his big hand towards her again, as if he wanted to mess up her hair again, she hastily dodged it and muttered, “You cannot tell bad from wrong ……”
