Startled by the footsteps of Mu Hanyan and her companion, the little servant girl lifted her head, and upon catching sight of Mu Hanyan, she froze for a moment before quickly regaining her senses. In a panic, she leapt to her feet and sprinted away but tripped over a stone in her haste.
"Ah... ah..." The servant girl looked at Mu Hanyan with a face full of alarm, let out two cries, and then with a splash, tumbled into the water.
Am I really that frightening? Mu Hanyan touched her chin, an expression of wry amusement on her face.
Soon enough, the maid emerged from the water like a drenched chicken and stumbled away in the opposite direction from Mu Hanyan.
"She seems to be very afraid of you," said Han Jinglun.
"Mm, Mu Siyi, huh? Of course, she'd be afraid," Mu Hanyan said self-deprecatingly.
"Mu Siyi?" Han Jinglun looked at Mu Hanyan with puzzlement. He hadn't heard the nickname before since it probably hadn't spread to Cangshan City.
