Chapter 356: Chapter 284: New Freedom Village (Third Update)

Su Yu wagered the future of "Freedom Village" in a duel with Wang Di. However, neither Su Yu nor her companion, Ma Ziye, realized how important "Freedom Village" was to people like Meng Ting. They couldn’t afford any mishap. All they were doing was trying to protect "Freedom Village," the place bearing their dreams.

All of sudden, Ma Ziye understood Meng Ting’s feelings. She sat down on a rock, feeling somewhat dispirited. She had wanted to blame Meng Ting for risking Su Yu’s life for the sake of "Freedom Village" and was admittedly unhappy with her. But now, she realized that while Su Yu might be more important than ten "Freedom Villages" to her, ten Su Yus might not amount to one "Freedom Village" in Meng Ting’s eyes.

Everyone has different things they hold most dear and wish to protect. Given that, what right did she have to blame Meng Ting? Even though she had always thought Meng Ting’s decision wasn’t the right one, in retrospect, wasn’t she being selfish? She hadn’t considered Meng Ting’s feelings. Thinking this, she didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Ma Ziye said slowly, "I’m sorry, we’ve been too selfish. We never considered your feelings, Meng Ting. I’m sorry."

"No, no." Meng Ting rushed up a few steps, grasped Ma Ziye’s hand tightly. Ma Ziye’s lips curled into a smile as she said, "Meng Ting, you’re not going to attack me again, are you?"

Meng Ting’s face flushed in embarrassment, she quickly assured, "No, never again, never." The two women shared a smile, dispelling their initial misgivings.

Meng Ting hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, then finally spoke, "Ziye, I need to ask you a favor."

Seeing that Meng Ting was having difficulty finding the words, Ma Ziye smiled and said, "You want me to not tell Su Yu about this, don’t you?"

"Mm." Meng Ting nodded, lowering her head like a guilty child.

Ma Ziye gently touched her face and comfortingly said, "Are you afraid that Su Yu will be angry with you or blame you if he finds out?"

Meng Ting whispered a confirmation, causing Ma Ziye to chuckle, "You’re acting like a student that’s done something wrong. You really don’t understand Su Yu. If he found out you’ve been hiding this from him, he’d be the one to get truly angry. If you tell him now, I believe he won’t blame you. Su Yu is not a petty person. Trust me, Meng Ting, tell him yourself."

Meng Ting bit her lower lip, clearly still hesitant to confront Su Yu about this issue.

"Don’t forget, you’re the leader of ’Freedom Village’. In the future, you’re going to have to turn ’Freedom Village’ into the eleventh giant city. There will be many more difficulties waiting for you. Can you really be overcome by this small matter?"

Ziye patted Meng Ting’s delicate hand and started walking towards "Wangdi Village", "Don’t worry, I won’t tell Su Yu. As for whether you want to do it or not, think it over. I believe you, Meng Ting. You’ll make the right choice. To continue hiding, or to tell him yourself? Ha, the decision is yours."

Ma Ziye waved at her and walked away with a bright smile.

Meng Ting bit her lip, silent, then suddenly turned to Meng Jun at her side, "Meng Jun, what do you say? Should I keep this hidden forever, or tell him?"

Meng Jun replied, "That’s something you’ll have to decide, Miss. But I think if you keep hiding it, you’ll always feel guilty towards him. Keeping something hidden isn’t going to make you feel better."

Meng Ting nodded slightly, determined, "I understand. Meng Jun, thank you. I know what to do."

Meng Jun showed a rare smile, "It’s my honor to be able to help you, Miss. Please, no need to thank me."

"Yes, I understand." Meng Ting smiled. Once the decision was finally made, her face relaxed.

With hundreds of people working together, the resources of "Wangdi Village" and "Loyalty Village" flowed endlessly into "Freedom Village". What once looked like the abundant "Wangdi Village" was completely drained. Even the smooth stones used for building the houses were taken away.

The once magnificent "Wangdi Village" had now become a thing of the past.

"Su Yu!"

Sat on a wooden chair in a conversation with Ruan Ming Hong, Su Yu looked up and saw Ma Ziye approaching from the outside of the village.

"Instant Noodles, why have you only just arrived?" Zhang Zhongmou couldn’t help but shout out, "Do you not know that Yu has been consistently mentioning your name, unable to forget you?"

Su Yu blushed, shot Zhang Zhongmou a glare, thinking to himself when did he ever mention Ma Ziye’s name?

Ma Ziye smiled slightly and said, "Big Smoker, as always you never keep things formal. Where is your famous celebrity idol? Hasn’t she been hanging around you today?"

The "celebrity idol" Ma Ziye referred to was Shangguan Wan. In the past, Shangguan Wan and her sister Shangguan Rui were Zhang Zhongmou’s idols. However, after Shangguan Rui’s tragic death, Shangguan Wan became thin and silent. During this time, Zhang Zhongmou had been comforting her, which made their relationship closer. Therefore, when Zhang Zhongmou joked with Su Yu about Ma Ziye, Ma Ziye reminded him of Shangguan Wan.
