The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

About forty minutes later, in the southern suburbs of North City.

Mount Jing.

During this period of time in North City, Yan Jinyu had almost figured out everything about North City. Although she had never been to Mount Jing, she knew that Mount Jing was in this direction. However, because she had indeed never been there, and she had been curious about it for a long time, she inevitably felt excited.

The novelty made her roll down the window and look out.

However, she didn’t know that when Yin Jiujin saw her curious look, it had a completely different meaning.

Why was it that after two months, the young lady still looked like she had not seen the world and was curious about everything?

The Yan Family was the number one family in North City after all. Even if they couldn’t nurture a young lady who had grown up outside into the daughter of a respectable family in two months, they could definitely let her gain some knowledge and widen her horizons.

How did the Yan Family treat her during the time she was in the Yan Family? She was actually so surprised to see the scenery at the foot of Mount Jing.

Yin Jiujin was enraged when he thought of this.

If the Yan Family did not treat her well, he hoped that the young lady was really silly. That way, she would not be sad.

How could Yan Jinyu not sense the subtle change in his expression?

She retracted her gaze and stopped leaning against the car window. Instead, she sat up straight and looked up at him. “Brother Nine, is there something dirty on my face when you look at me like that?”

Yin Jiujin didn’t look away when he met her round eyes. However, even Yan Jinyu couldn’t see through the emotions in his eyes.

They stared at each other for a few seconds until Yan Jinyu blinked and smiled as she called out “Brother Nine” again. Only then did his deep gaze move away slightly.

“Have you gotten used to it in North City recently?” Yin Jiujin asked.

“What’s there to be not used to? There’s food and accommodation. I don’t have to worry about anything.” Putting aside the slight influence of the Yan Family’s attitude towards her at the beginning, Yan Jinyu’s words were sincere.

However, when Yin Jiujin heard her words, his pity for her increased.

The young lady had indeed suffered a lot over the years. She was satisfied so easily.

Cheng Lin called him and told him about how the Yan Family treated her when he was almost done with his work.

He sighed again. Fortunately, she was silly and insensitive.

“How is your relationship with the Yan Family… with your family?” He wanted to directly say “the Yan Family”, but thinking that they were her relatives, he changed his words.

Yin Jiujin, who was cold and indifferent, had spoken carefully because he cared about someone’s feelings. This had never happened before.

No wonder Cheng Lin and Lin Zimu, who were sitting in the driver’s seat, were both shocked.

If there were no accidents, their future young madam would undoubtedly be the eldest daughter of the Yan Family.

Cheng Lin glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed again. Master Nine valued her so much, but the Yan Family actually dared to neglect her. They were simply stupid.

One had to know that as long as the Yan Family treated Miss Yan slightly better, they might be able to get close to Master Nine. How much benefits would that bring to the Yan Family!

The two people in the back seat had no idea what the two of them in front were thinking.

“Pretty good,” Yan Jinyu said.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. How long will Brother Nine stay in North City this time?”

“I don’t have any urgent matters to deal with personally. I’ll be staying in North City for the time being.”

Hearing that, Yan Jinyu grinned. “That’s great. In that case, can I come and find you anytime?”

“…Mm-hm.” He actually wanted to say that she could totally stay by his side and even move to Mount Jing. However, he suddenly recalled that the young lady had left home for many years and might want to spend more time with her parents. Hence, he retracted his words.

“Call me when you feel like it. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”

“Sure!”

She then casually glanced out of the car window. “Brother Nine, you live here?”

Yin Jiujin saw that she was in high spirits, and his expression was much warmer than before. “Yes.”

“The view here is nice.”

“Mm-hm.”

“The car keeps going up. Do you live on this mountain?”

“Mm-hm.”

“You live alone?”

“Mm-hm.”

“Have you settled everything that you went out to settle?”

“Mm-hm.”

***

Just like that, the two of them asked and answered. Although they were just chatting casually, the two people sitting in the front seat felt a warm atmosphere flowing between them.

They didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily for fear of breaking the warmth.

This was the first time they had seen Master Nine being so patient with someone. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

Master Nine didn’t even care about the people from the Yin Family.

The car finally reached the top of the hill after winding through the asphalt road.

The high walls were overgrown with unknown vines. Occasionally, a few bright flowers would bloom between the vines. A security room was set up on one side of the two iron pillars.

No matter day or night, there were two security guards on duty.

Seeing a car approaching, the two security guards quickly walked out of the security room and stood side by side. They respectfully greeted, “Master Nine.” Then, one of them hurriedly ran over and opened the tightly shut iron pillar door.

Looking at the two security guards in ordinary uniforms, Yan Jinyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

With her judgement, she could completely tell that these two people were not ordinary security guards. Looking at the walls and doors on Mount Jing, other than looking a little grand on the outside, there did not seem to be anything special. However, they actually had very powerful protective nets. Even if she wanted to slip in, it would take a lot of effort.

No, it was not that simple. If she was not careful, even if she could slip in, she might alert the people inside.

Of course, the prerequisite was that she had to be “careless”. If she was careful, she might be able to slip in silently.

But in this world, how many people were as skilled as her?

After so many years, she had only met one person who was on par with her, and that person had long disappeared along with the destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island.

Hence, the security here was still very good.

Even if someone wanted to kill Yin Jiujin, they wouldn’t even be able to enter his residence if they weren’t ranked first or second on the Assassin Ranking.

In other words, if someone wanted to find an assassin to kill Yin Jiujin, if they didn’t find her or Meimei, even if they found Ah Feng and Xiaoyu, they might not be able to enter the door, let alone kill Yin Jiujin.

He was indeed the famous Master Nine.

After realizing this, Yan Jinyu didn’t think that Yin Jiujin was a difficult character to deal with. Instead, she felt relieved that he was so capable. This way, even if her enemies found out about her identity in the future, Yin Jiujin would still have the ability to protect himself.

From the outside, be it the walls or the door, they were all very grand. Yan Jinyu thought that the interior would be as gorgeous as a palace or a castle.

Hence, after the car drove into the main gate, the calm Yan Jinyu looked surprised.

It was not easy to see such an expression of surprise on Yan Jinyu’s face. Among the three people who had gone through life and death with her, only Feng had seen her show a surprised expression before. It was the first time she saw Feng using his superb medical skills to pull Huo Siyu back from the gates of hell.

Yan Jinyu never expected that Master Nine’s residence in North City, Mount Jing, was actually like this.

It looked more like a farm manor.

There were vegetable patches and fruit trees of all kinds. There were also people working on the fruit trees. They were all dressed as ordinary farmers…

Although Yan Jinyu could tell that the “farmers” were not weak with her judgement, this was too…

Even the Yan Family had villas everywhere. In comparison, Yin Jiujin’s residence was too simple and unadorned.

However, Yan Jinyu surprisingly liked it very much.

It was probably because she had seen too many battles and life and death in the past few years that she preferred this quiet and leisurely place.

The car moved forward and passed through a large orchard. The road inside was more obscure, and there were old trees on both sides of the road. Sunlight shone through the dense leaves, and the faint sounds of insects and birds could be heard.

About ten minutes later, her vision cleared up.

There were no longer trees on either side of the road. Instead, there were many unknown plants growing in the forest. At the end of the flowers were some small buildings. They should be the residence of the “farmers” here.

As the car drove across the asphalt road between the sea of flowers, a beautiful villa came into view.

The two-story villa was not big, but it was specially designed. It was black and white. Outside the villa building was a small courtyard with flowers and plants. It was surrounded by a fence. There was a big tree in the small courtyard. Under the big tree was a square stone table. There was a swing on the big tree.

Yin Jiujin had recently instructed someone to set up the swing.

Seeing the scenery in front of her, the joy on Yan Jinyu’s face became even more obvious.

She loved it here.

Yin Jiujin, who had been paying attention to her, saw that her eyes were shining, and she looked like she wanted to get out of the car immediately to take a look. A faint smile flashed past his naturally gloomy eyes.
