Mandy started looking anxious. She twisted her lips and asked timidly, “Great Messenger, you… are you angry at him?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head with a smile. “I will usually just counter him on the spot. I will not bear grudges.”
Mandy breathed a sigh of relief on hearing that. “That’s good. I was worried there for a moment…”
Ian was different from the other males in the Beast World. Apart from Wabei, he was probably the only male who would argue with Gu Mengmeng.
He was not like most of the males who feared her powers and status. He was also not like those males who had a special interest in her and followed her blindly. His loyalty was on par with Barete’s, but Ian did not behave in the same subservient manner as Barete did.
Ian belonged to the type of person who did not let his annoyance interfere with his help. He could scold you while supporting you at the same time.
Gu Mengmeng thought no sweet words would ever come out of Ian’s sarcastic mouth. But who knew he was actually capable of apologizing.
Looking at Mandy’s bashful manner, he must have really piled on the sweet nothings.
Tsk, never knew this bird had another a side to him.
But Gu Mengmeng didn’t expose Ian. After all, Mandy’s family was different from hers and Sandy’s. Mandy already had 27 partners. With such intense competition, as a good friend… Gu Mengmeng naturally would never drag Ian down.
“You said earlier that Lea went to look for Ian to discuss about the Love of the Sky?” Gu Mengmeng changed the topic.
Mandy nodded. “Yes. But I saw that Ian appeared to be avoiding the subject. He didn’t seem willing to talk about it.”
Mmm, for matters of the sky, it made sense to ask those who could fly.
The fact that Ian appeared reluctant to talk about it meant he did know something, so Lea was asking the right guy.
Ha, how long could that birdbrain Ian last under Lea’s interrogation?
Mmm, it had been a long time since she saw evil Lea in action. Gu Mengmeng suddenly felt a trace of pity for Ian.
“Is the Love of the Sky something the Great Messenger wishes to find?” Mandy asked.
Gu Mengmeng nodded.
Mandy smiled. “Then I will go back to help you persuade Ian. I will make him tell Master Witch doctor everything he knows about it.”
Gu Mengmeng put down her chopsticks and looked at Mandy. “Mandy, why don’t you call me by my name like Sandy does. Great Messenger… sounds so awkward.”
“Eh?! Can I?” Mandy’s eyes lit up. She felt like a fan who had just gotten her idol’s private WeChat number.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Mmm, of course you can.”
“Gu… Mengmeng?” Mandy’s eyes glowed. Her lips curled upwards as she gently spoke Gu Mengmeng’s name.
“Mmm.” Gu Mengmeng nodded with a smile.
“Ah…!” Mandy cupped her own face as she shrieked. Mmm… totally like a fan.
Gu Mengmeng felt rather astounded. After all, Mandy had already joined Saint Nazaire for over a year. Although Gu Mengmeng was not in Saint Nazaire all the time, she didn’t feel like she was that unreachable—that someone would be so excited just by saying her name.
After Mandy calmed down, she also felt rather embarrassed. She put down her bowl with a red face. “Great… Gu Mengmeng, I will return home first.”
“You are not eating anymore?” Gu Mengmeng looked questioningly at Mandy’s bowl, which was still half-filled.
Mandy took up the bowl and directly poured all the food into her mouth. Not even a drop of gravy was left. She then replaced the bowl on the table. “Mmm, I am not eating anymore! I am going back now to help you ask Ian about the Love of the Sky.”
