Skretil's Ignorance Walker

According to Peony, she met Magnolia while selling flowers. Magnolia was very happy to see her and generously bought all the flowers in Peony's basket.

He also invited Mudan to dine at a high-end restaurant. Mudan refused at first. After all, that happened before, and Mudan had a gap with Magnolia.

But she couldn't resist Magnolia's invitation. Besides, Mudan hadn't had dinner and was a little hungry, so she followed Magnolia to eat.

The two of them talked a lot in the restaurant, and Magnolia kept apologizing to Mudan for what had happened before and promised that she would never do that again.

Then it was time to send Peony home.

After hearing all this, Lu Ren still felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only think that what happened today was just a coincidence.

As for what Magnolia said, Lu Ren didn't believe it. He would wait until she and Sunflower had the chance to meet in the future.

"Come to think of it, you and Magnolia grew up together, right?"

After giving up thinking, Lu Ren first took back the note left by Mudan on the table, and then started to talk to Mudan again.

"Well, Magnolia's family was a baron, and they had some connections with our mother, so the three of us often played together when we were young."

After hearing this, Lu Ren sat down on the sofa, still a little uneasy about what had just happened.

"..."

Lu Ren originally wanted to ask, "Why did the relationship between Magnolia and Sunflower become so strained later?", but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask. Lu Ren himself could roughly guess the reason, which was that after seeing Sunflower's family fall into poverty, Magnolia changed her mindset.

After all, although Lu Ren didn't know Magnolia's personality very well, from what he had come into contact with her, it was definitely not a good one.

But it’s a little different from today.

"Speaking of which, where are Sunflower and the others? Why are you alone here, Master Lu Ren?"

After making the tea, Mudan went to the living room and poured a cup for Lu Ren and herself, then sat down and began to rest.

"Ah... they seem a little tired, they should still be sleeping now..."

Facing Mudan's question, Lu Ren was a little shy, so he just said it lightly. Mudan seemed to have guessed something, and her face turned red.

"Yes...is it...?"

Looking at Mudan's appearance, Lu Ren was thinking about how to get closer to Mudan. She also didn't want the two sisters to be separated, and Lu Ren believed that Mudan and Sunflower thought the same.

Although there are some conflicts between the two sisters now, Lu Ren believes that blood is thicker than water and no matter how big the conflict is, it will be resolved one day.

If he regretted it later, it would be too late. And if only Sunflower followed him to leave the Kingdom of Spirit Rat, what would Mudan do alone? Could she really survive alone? This was not Lu Ren's previous life, with good public security and various civilized laws. Even in the Kingdom of Spirit Rat, slavery existed. If Mudan was captured by some bad guys and made a slave, Lu Ren and Sunflower would not be able to save her.

"I heard that you had a fight with Himawari?"

But after thinking for a long time, Lu Ren decided to go straight to the point. He was too lazy to beat around the bush and just said it directly. However, he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he had to start with the recent conflict between the two sisters.

"Ah... it's... it's okay. Really, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you..."

After hearing this, Mudan seemed a little embarrassed and shifted her gaze. She didn't know what Sunflower had said to Lu Ren, nor did she know what Lu Ren meant by what he said.

"Well... I'm not a resident here. I'm just here for tourism. One day I'll leave here."

Looking at Mudan's face, Lu Ren said seriously, and Mudan seemed to have noticed something and began to look directly into Lu Ren's lifeless eyes.

"Let me be frank. If Sunflower plans to leave with me, what will you do?"

Lu Ren was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking for a while he finally said it. Mudan was a little surprised, she didn't expect Lu Ren to be so direct.

"I... I can survive on my own. Or rather, I can live a happier life on my own..."

Perhaps in order to convince herself, Mudan smiled bitterly when she said this. Seeing this, Lu Ren decided to try harder.

"I don't think you two sisters have to separate. I believe Sunflower definitely doesn't want to be separated from you."

"This...I don't mind...after all, she and I will be separated in the future."

Looking at Mudan's bitter expression, Lu Ren knew that Mudan was not speaking the truth. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued to say to Mudan:

"Sunflower came to me crying last night. When she was talking to me, she kept talking about her sister. Although I don't know what happened between you, Sunflower was very sad at that time..."

Although these words were a bit exaggerated, Lu Ren felt that they were very suitable for the current situation. She quietly observed Mudan's expression.

"Yeah……"

Hearing Lu Ren's words, Mudan's face showed a bit more sadness, but she still felt that as long as Sunflower could be happy in the future, that would be enough.

"..."

Lu Ren looked at Mudan silently at this time. She thought a lot of things in her mind, but didn't say them out loud.

But in the end, Lu Ren stood up and sat next to Mudan.

"Lord Lu Ren?"

Seeing Lu Ren's actions, Mudan was a little confused and she looked at Lu Ren in confusion.

"You forced Sunflower to come to me, didn't you?"

"This...what are you talking about...I don't understand..."

Faced with Lu Ren's straightforward words, Mudan did not admit it, but Lu Ren held Mudan's hand at this time.

"Since you think so much about Sunflower, have you ever thought about yourself?"

"You...please let me go..."

Mudan was also frightened by Lu Ren's action. She wanted to break free from Lu Ren's hand, but how could her strength compete with Lu Ren's? With the blessing of magic, Lu Ren neither used too much force to hurt Mudan, nor allowed Mudan to break free.

"I won't beat around the bush any more. I just want to say that I don't want you two sisters to be separated. Sunflower thinks so too. What about you? You should think so too, right?"

"Please don't do this. You already have sunflowers, so don't..."

"Why? This kind of thing happens all the time, why don't you come along? This way you two sisters won't have to be separated, and I can support you two sisters."

After Lu Ren finished speaking, he wanted to go up and have some close contact with Mudan, but Mudan's mind was blank at this time and she couldn't think of anything. She could only subconsciously resist Lu Ren.

"Eh……"

Just when Lu Ren was about to succeed, a scream came from upstairs. Lu Ren and Mudan looked and found that it was Sunflower who was standing in the corridor on the second floor.
