Chapter 599: 401

Looking at Mu Lin’s face, which was adorned with a faint, indifferent smile, everyone subconsciously found it unbelievable.

It doesn’t match.

Not at all!

The girl in front of them looked more like a celestial being who had stepped down from a painting, stunningly beautiful and captivating, yet indifferent.

The first one to approach Mu Lin was Lin Shan, who smiled amiably at her. "Long time no see," he said. It had been almost two months since their last encounter.

He figured it must have been that long.

With a slight nod, she responded, "Long time no see." She hadn’t expected that Lin Shan would be the first to greet her. As far as she could remember, they had never spoken a word to each other.

Though Mu Lin hadn’t remembered all the names of those present at the time, she did have a vague impression of a few, including Lin Shan.

Though he seemed reticent, he was a man of integrity.

Sequentially, those who had participated in the previous exchange all approached Mu Lin. There was no trace of estrangement on their faces, only the joy of meeting old friends. After the battle, they had become comrades. Yuan Yu looked at Mu Lin, his face filled with boisterous laughter. "I didn’t expect to see you again!" He reminisced, "What about the others? Are they well?" He also missed those ’profligate sons’.

"They’re doing well, just like you all, always training hard." They were all growing rapidly.

Yuan Yu laughed out loud, "That’s good to hear." After all, he wanted another chance to compete with them.

This was also the sentiment of several others.

"So she’s Mu Lin who disabled Qingqing’s hand, forced her out of our team, and even snatched away the man she liked!" A discordant voice arose, but it was quiet, just a few whispers from two people, unnoticed by most.

The two cast unfriendly glances at Mu Lin.

As for Qingqing, whom the two mentioned, she was the woman who had been arrogantly bullying in front of Mu Lin, intentionally injuring Xia Luoyu, slandering Mu Lin in front of Jing Chen, and even trying to seduce Jing Chen. Her hands had suffered the consequences of her own actions. No one at the scene had sympathized with her at that time.

"I wonder if she is as formidable as the gossip suggests." One of them glared coldly at Mu Lin and scoffed, "I certainly don’t see it."

The other nodded in agreement, "Likewise, I don’t see it; I don’t believe that she, who is so capable, would lose to Mu Lin. She must have been wronged by this woman who is so ruthless that she disabled Qingqing’s hands, preventing her from ever handling a gun again in this lifetime."

"Probably used other methods to win." Her appearance reeked of a vixen’s charm, "Don’t all men like such women." She could easily get what she wanted with just a bit of coquetry.

Upon hearing this, the other person readily agreed, a malicious smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "It doesn’t matter, hasn’t she just handed herself to us on a platter?" His eyes filled with hostility as he looked towards Mu Lin.

His fists clenched secretly.

He had never seen Jing Tian being so close with anyone. What did this woman have that he didn’t, apart from being slightly prettier?

So, once again, Mu Lin had been made an imaginary enemy.

She wondered if she should mention that Jing Tian had already addressed her as his sister-in-law. Why were these women still treating her as a love rival? It was baffling and exasperating.

Women’s jealousy, indeed, is one of the utmost incomprehensible things in the world.

Being good-looking seemed to be her fault.

...

"Why, from your looks, it seems like you still want to fight with Mu Lin." Observing his sister-in-law’s keen eyes, it was obvious that she was itching to try. She was truly unafraid of punishment.

Jing Tian glanced at them, his eyes filled with mirth.

Some scratched their heads sheepishly.

They wondered if their intentions were that obvious?

"Although I really want to agree with you." Jing Tian’s smile had a malicious curve. Under everyone’s expectant gazes, he added a ’but’ with a straightforward expression.

"But not now." Jing Tian had his considerations. Now was not an appropriate time, at least he didn’t consider it so.

"Captain, we don’t understand." ’Captain’ - that’s how the members of the Seal Team usually referred to Jing Tian.

"You will understand in due time." For now, he was playing coy. Eventually, they would be grateful to him.
