The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

82. Starting to Understand from Those Around Him

Mu Yiting faced defeat for the first time. In the Xuan Yun Sect, no male cultivator would dare to be so rude to her, especially without any grudge.

Those eyes filled with murderous intent seemed to peer into the depths of her soul, knowing everything.

“Lin Nuo, I’ll remember you.”

Alone in her room, Mu Yiting murmured to herself while gazing into the bronze mirror.

The pleasant smile on her face had long since faded, replaced by a sullen and cold expression.

Only when alone would she reveal her true self, usually pretending to be cute, charming, and understanding to maintain her image as a popular and well-liked girl within the Xuan Yun Sect.

To the outside world, she was from the ordinary Mu family, hardworking, thrifty, and empathetic—this was the image she had always crafted. She got along well with everyone, forming good relationships, which allowed her to easily access the sect’s intelligence and resources.

Her disguise had always been successful; no one knew her true identity, nor did anyone suspect her.

By harmoniously interacting with everyone in the Xuan Yun Sect, including elders and senior uncles, she could obtain resources and information to revive her declining underworld family.

She needed to approach and form good relationships with everyone, at least managing ordinary conversations.

Previously, among her peers, only Qin Shili was difficult to deal with. After all, she was aloof and cold, keeping to herself. Mu Yiting had tried to approach and chat with her several times, but the conversations would end in less than three sentences. Qin Shili seemed to be wary of everyone.

Now, there was Lin Nuo, just as difficult to handle as Qin Shili.

However, male cultivators were somewhat easier to deal with than female ones. “A hero is vulnerable to the charms of a beauty.” With her natural beauty and sweet voice, handling a male cultivator was more than manageable, even if she failed now, it didn’t mean she would fail in the future.

“He will be a tough man to handle, but no matter, I can win him over.”

In this, Mu Yiting was still full of confidence.

To understand someone, one must start with the people around them.

Mu Yiting listed those who recently spent the most time with Lin Nuo: Su Kexin, Qin Shili, Liu Shuqin, and his maid, Li Ruoruo.

She thought it best to start with Li Ruoruo, who had served him for a long time and knew what kind of person he was.

She remembered Lin Nuo as a young master with a bad temper, but his attitude changed drastically towards pretty girls, showing interest and initiating conversations—a typical incompetent and lecherous young master.

Restoring the pleasant smile on her face, she walked out with some delicious cakes, coincidentally bumping into Li Ruoruo in the corridor.

“Ruoruo, where are you going?”

“It’s Sister Yiting! I’m taking sugar water to the young master.”

“Oh, Ruoruo, I have too many cakes and can’t finish them. Here, have some; they’re really tasty.”

She was sure Ruoruo would accept, as she liked sweet cakes, and Lin Nuo rarely treated her to anything good. The young girl would surely accept her kindness privately, as she had done before.

“Thank you for your kindness, Sister, but I can’t accept your cakes. I’m currently enjoying sugar water and pastries with the young master.”

“Hmm? You’re having sugar water with Brother Lin Nuo?”

“Yes! Not only sugar water, but we also dine together… and together…”

Li Ruoruo hastily stopped herself, almost letting slip that they slept together. The young master was kind to her, willing to hold her as they slept, but how could she say that? A Lin family young master sleeping with a servant would tarnish his reputation.

“Together what?”

“Together for a walk!”

Li Ruoruo’s little head had a spark of inspiration, and she quickly changed the topic.

Mu Yiting found it odd. Lin Nuo was, after all, the young master of the Lin family, and he usually paid attention to social hierarchy and status. He was known to put on airs with Li Ruoruo, and if she did something wrong, he would scold her. This was common knowledge within the Xuan Yun Sect.

So how could he possibly be willing to do so many things with her? Even eating together was out of the question.

“Ruoruo, what do you think of your young master?”

“The young master? Oh, he’s handsome and dashing, tall and mighty, kind-hearted, and warm…”

As soon as she started talking about Lin Nuo’s virtues, Li Ruoruo, as his little fan, got extremely excited and rattled on without end.

Mu Yiting was good at reading people. Li Ruoruo was just an immature little girl, guileless. If she were lying, she wouldn’t be fluent.

But the reality was, she fluently listed a bunch of positive words, seemingly following her true feelings, without a hint of falsehood.

This was strange. How could it be that upon returning from her mission, Lin Nuo had undergone such a drastic change?

“I won’t say anymore~ The young master is waiting for me~”

Li Ruoruo gently swayed her fluffy big ears and walked away with a tray.

The intelligence Mu Yiting now had was that Lin Nuo was a great person.

She felt the need to ask around, to get the opinions of her senior and junior sisters.

Later, Mu Yiting approached Su Kexin, starting with casual chat, then casually brought up Lin Nuo’s character.

“Ah, you’re asking me what I think of my senior brother…”

As she spoke of Lin Nuo, Su Kexin’s face turned slightly red, “Senior brother, he…”
