Si Luo answered and gripped the cardboard box tighter with her bony hands before hanging her head again looking a little frightful.
Yun Jian squinted and stared at Si Luo again, scrutinizing her, then pressed her lips together before she asked, “Are you not going home?”
There was a sharp gleam that flashed across her eyes as she spoke. It was like she had a new idea.
Si Luo did not look up at Yun Jian’s words. She shrunk into herself and shook her head, replying, “I don’t have a home anymore…”
“Would you like to follow me then?” Yun Jian asked promptly.
It made Si Luo snap her head up. Someone was willing to take her in? Was this… was this for real?
Holding the cardboard box and hugging it closer to herself, Si Luo looked at Yun Jian with her expressive pair of eyes. Her voice was a little shaky when she asked, “Are you… taking me in? You’re really taking me in?”
It was as if Si Luo was in disbelief that Yun Jian was willing to take her in as she widened her eyes and seemed to speak with them.
Yun Jian nodded before narrowing her eyes. “Yes but I have one condition.”
“Lagree! I agree to it! As long as you feed me and keep me alive, I can do anything!” Si Luo nearly kneeled down before Yun Jian in gratitude.
If one took a closer look, one would see that Si Luo’s clothes were tattered and immensely soiled. There was dirt on her face too and she looked like a beggar overall. If it were not for her doll-like face and the natural minty scent she had despite her dirty clothes, she honestly looked like a refugee who fled
the slum.
Yun Jian merely squinted at Si Luo. It was impossible that she was taking in random people but
“Hold on!” The voice of a guy suddenly interrupted Yun Jian from speaking.
Yun Jian raised a brow and glanced at Si Yi who stood next to her and always gazed at her fondly before turning to see Snow Eagle who hid behind the door witnessing all that happened coming back again.
“Young madam—cough!” Snow Eagle coughed softly realizing that he had just barged out.
Yun Jian narrowed her eyes but heard Snow Eagle say, “Young madam, she came back with me.”
Yun Jian was instantly aware of what he meant. “You want to take her in?”
It was apparent that Si Luo had caught Yun Jian’s eyes just now. Although Si Luo looked feeble and weak, Yun Jian could see that she was a potential! Someone who Yun Jian had laid her eyes on at first glance definitely had her strength.
Si Luo, for example—Yun Jian was confident that if she personally trained her, it was only a matter of time before a potential like Si Luo became one of Gu Sha Mercenaries’ higher-ups! She might even surpass Snake.Lizard with time!
Nevertheless, Snow Eagle jumping out now was.
“Yes, young madam!” Snow Eagle was not hesitant at all.
“alright then.” Yun Jian did not push it either.
She agreed and tured to Si Luo, telling her with a squint, “You’re welcome to come to me anytime if you think staying with him isn’t great.”
She then winked at Si Luo, unlike her usual austere front.
Si Luo shrunk a little hugging the cardboard box but nodded fervently.
“You’re my disciple from now on, young lady. Hurry up and come in!” Snow Eagle hooked a finger at Si Luo from the door..
