"Men are heartless indeed!" The woman said somewhat sorrowfully.

"This is the world. If you want to obtain something, you have to give it up, just like emotions!" Bai Jinglian's eyes flashed with a strange expression. In an instant, she returned to normal. "Let's go, Red Lotus. The act that's about to be played out has already been finished. Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The red lotus was the name of the woman beside Bai Jinglian.

Mu Shui Qing walked down the street sadly, thinking about Bai Jinglian's bitter smile just now. She felt a wave of guilt in her heart and didn't notice that a horse carriage was speeding towards her …

"Get out of the way... "Hurry up and get out of the way..." As Mo Riverbliss was muddleheaded, a series of shouts pulled her out of her immersion in her own world.

The first thing she saw was a speeding horse carriage heading towards her. It was getting closer and closer …

She wanted to get out of the way, but the more critical the situation, the more her legs became. She was unable to move for a long time, and it seemed that she was about to be knocked away.

At this critical moment, a tall figure pulled her into his arms and quickly retreated two steps, watching as the carriage passed by.

Mo Riverbliss was still in a state of shock. Just now … So dangerous!

But what about the small talk in the crowd?

"Are you okay?" A deep, magnetic male voice sounded in her ear.

She was stunned. This voice was quite pleasant to hear!

At this time, she discovered that she was still in the man's embrace. A suspicious blush appeared on her face as she hurried back a distance. It was only at this time that Mu Shui Qing was able to clearly see the man's body and face.

He was dressed in white and gray brocade, looking noble and elegant. He was tall, his hands were as white as snow, and even whiter than a woman's. He had the best body in the world, and the whitest and most tender skin of a daughter.

The burn marks on his forehead and under his mouth were all parts of his face that had been burned by the fire.

"Your face?" Indeed, suddenly seeing such an ugly face, Mu Shui Qing was a bit frightened.

Seeing Mo Riverbliss's expression, the man tilted his face to the side and mocked, "You were also frightened by my appearance?"

Mo Shui Qing looked at the man's eyes that intertwined with vicissitudes, ridicule, desolation, and an indescribable sorrow.

Her heart unexpectedly hurt for some unknown reason. Perhaps it was because of her sympathy towards men. She could even imagine those pitying, mocking, and disdainful gazes that people would give her every time they saw her.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure earlier. I was just feeling a bit uncomfortable after taking a look." Mo Riverbliss straightened up and lowered her head.

"Yes." The man said coldly, "It's certain that you won't get used to it. Who knows, maybe there will be people who won't get used to it even after a lifetime."

Mo Riverbliss looked at the bustling streets. Many people looked at the man beside her, whether they were doing it intentionally or unintentionally. But in truth, this caused them to feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Young master, why do you have to be so serious with yourself? Whether it was handsomeness or ugliness, what was there to fear from others? "It's fine to be the person you like. Some people have malicious thoughts, but no matter how beautiful they are, no one will respect them. On the contrary, as long as young master is kind, there will always be someone who values you."

Mu Shui Qing felt that it was a pity that this man was so handsome. Judging from his appearance and skin, he should have been a pretty boy before he ruined his appearance.

"This lady understands so much, thank you very much."

As the man said thanks, his face was cold and hard. Mo Riverbliss felt that he had said so much in order to excuse him, but now she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Actually, I just wanted to comfort you. If you don't like it, then forget it." Mo Riverbliss awkwardly curled her lips, blaming herself for saying so much.
