The War God's Diva Dilemma

Chapter 7: Su Mo and Yun Jin Have a Heart-to-Heart

“Young Master? Young Master? Are you alright? Is there anything else wrong with you?” The maid’s worried voice pulled Su Mo back to reality.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

The maid knelt down, “Young Master, I’m sorry. You were resting, and the third miss barged in. I really couldn’t stop her. I’m guilty of a capital crime.” She kowtowed heavily on the ground.

“Hey! I told you, I’m fine. Why do all of you ancient people kneel and kowtow so easily? Look at her, she’s not someone to be trifled with. It’s normal that you couldn’t stop her.” Su Mo pulled her up from the ground.

“What’s your name? How old are you? How long have you been following me?”

“......”

“Oh! Don’t think too much about it. I’ve just recovered from a serious illness and was beaten up by that woman today. I can’t remember some things clearly. My head is still a bit muddled, so you’d better tell me first. Let’s see if I can remember anything.”

“Yes, my name is Yun Jin. I’m 14 years old. When the old madam was still alive, she bought me from the market and assigned me to serve the young master. I’ve been with you for almost three years.” The maid answered truthfully.

“Yun Jin! It’s a good name.”

“Young Master, you forgot. You gave me this name. When I first came to the manor, the old madam assigned me to serve you. The young master was leaning against the pavilion and reading a book. There was a line in the book that said, ‘NingYunBingLan，WoYuHuaiJin’. It was very exquisite, so the young master took the characters ‘Yun’ and ‘Jin’ to name me. The young master is kind-hearted. I will never forget your kindness in giving me this name.”

“Um... I remember, I remember, I just didn’t react for a moment. Look at you, at such a young age, why do you always talk about death? It’s so unlucky! Don’t say that anymore. Isn’t it good to be alive? Why would you want to die?”

“Yes, Yun Jin will obey.”

“Since you’ve been following me, I have to say something. I had a serious illness before, and everyone around me left me when I was at death’s door. When I was on the verge of death, I thought about life and death. I couldn’t let this sudden incident control my life. So from today on, the weak Su Mo you knew before will no longer exist. The one standing in front of you will be a new Su Mo! And I don’t know what I’ll do next. If you’re afraid, our master-servant relationship ends today.”

“Young Master, I’ve been following you since I entered the manor. I know your temperament. You don’t like to argue with people and you treat your servants well. The third miss is so aggressive and wants to kill you. I’m just a servant, so I can’t do anything. Even if I tell the master, I’ll just be beaten. The young master is like a reborn parent to me. I’m grateful. My life belongs to the young master. I’m willing to follow the young master and do anything. Please don’t drive me away, young master!” Yun Jin quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Su Mo looked at Yun Jin as she kowtowed and cried, and her expression didn’t seem fake. “Get up. Since that’s the case, then you can continue to follow me. You don’t have to be a workhorse, but you must know that if you follow me, you’ll eat well and live well. I’ll take you to level up.” Su Mo pulled Yun Jin up from the ground.

“Yes, yes, thank you, young master. Thank you, young master! But young master, what do you mean by ‘level up’?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it. It just means becoming very powerful. In the future, no one will dare to bully us.”

“Okay! Then I’ll follow the young master to level up!”

“Good! Good! Let’s work hard to level up together!”

“By the way, Yun Jin, do you know much about Prince Yu who came today?”

“Prince Yu? He’s very powerful! In our Seven Yao Kingdom, everyone knows the name Rong Yu. Even foreign countries and the barbarians are afraid of him. Why is the young master suddenly interested in Prince Yu?” Yun Jin found it strange.

“Oh, no, no. I just saw him today and thought he wasn’t bad. I was just asking casually. Don’t take it to heart.” Su Mo was obviously lying.

“Didn’t the young master dislike Prince Yu? When they were engaged, you refused to accept it. You even said that as a man, you shouldn’t be inferior to others.”

“Later, when the barbarians invaded the border, Prince Yu went to fight and was seriously injured. There were rumors that he was seriously injured and might not be able to have children in the future. And when he came back, he asked the emperor to cancel the engagement with you. Now the old madam is asking your father to get closer to Prince Yu and wants to marry the third miss to him.” The maid finished with a look of pity on her face.

“Impotent? Unable to have children? Don’t tell me that someone with the face of my senior is actually a eunuch! Oh no! I can’t accept this! Oh no!”

“Young master, what do you mean by all this? I don’t understand.”

“It’s nothing, nothing. I just can’t accept that someone who looks so good would have such a problem. That’s all.”

“Oh, I see. Then young master, what does ‘senior’ mean? You explained it to Prince Yu, but I still don’t understand.” Yun Jin was even more confused.

“It’s nothing, nothing. You’ll understand later, okay?” Su Mo patted Yun Jin comfortingly.

“Okay! But young master, you should rest now. You’ve just recovered from a serious illness and you shouldn’t be exposed to the wind.” Before she could finish, she helped Su Mo to the bed.

“Alright, go ahead. I’m so sore, I need to lie down and rest.”

Yun Jin went to the kitchen, and Su Mo lay on the bed, closing his eyes. He thought about everything that had happened. It was so unbelievable that he had actually traveled through time.

Su Mo thought about it for a while and fell asleep. Listening to the even breathing in the room, a figure in black quickly jumped up from the roof and flew towards the palace...
