Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 49 The Bearded Man Treated Lin Qingye Differently

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

After a while, Lin Qingye came back. He really brought some food that was enough for everyone to eat. Ke Ruan glanced at him and said, “General Lin, why did that bearded man look for you?”

“Bearded man?” Lin Qingye asked.

Ke Ruan paused for a moment. “Ah… I mean, the leader of the bandits. Why did he look for you?”

He realized that maybe Lin Qingye didn’t know whom he refered to when he said bearded man.

Lin Qingye answered, “Nothing. He asked me for breakfast.”

“For breakfast?” Ke Ruan was surprised to hear that. It was strange that the leader of bandits would be so kind to him and ask him to have breakfast together.

“Then you… have you eaten?”

Lin Qingye shaked his head and answered lightly, “No.”

Ke Ruan realized that it was a waste of time to ask that. If Lin Qingye had eaten, how could he bring the food back? He then said to Lin Qingye, “General Lin, you are so nice. You wanted to bring the food back for us, so you didn’t have breakfast with him.”

Being praised, Lin Qingye felt his face was a little hot.

“Han, come and have breakfast.”

At this moment, Lin Qingye suddenly felt Si Yuhan’s hostility towards him. In the past, Si Yuhan always treated people nonchalantly. He just ignored them and restrained himself. The only emotion he showed was hatred. But this time, he felt his hostility. He became indignant as if his possession had been coveted by someone else.

But Ke Ruan didn’t and wouldn’t sense it at all.

After they finished the breakfast, it was time to get down to business.

Ke Ruan asked, “General Lin, do you know their leader?”

Lin Qingye shook his head and said, “I don’t know him. But strangely, I feel familiar with him.”

Indeed.

“I just think he definitely knows you,” said Ke Ruan.

Lin Qingye rolled his eyes as if saying, “Aren’t you talking nonsense?” Ke Ruan was rendered speechless.

Then he said, “I just think it’s weird. General Lin, do you remember the playboy we met after we left the imperial palace?”

Lin Qingye nodded, “What do you mean?”

“What I mean is that there is a noble and arrogant guy in the capital of the country who doesn’t know you, the famous general of the country, but in such a remote town, a bandit leader of such a desolate place could even recognized you. I think it’s weird.”

Hearing this, Lin Qingye frowned.  What Ke Ruan said was right.

Seeing the look on Lin Qingye’s face, Ke Ruan paused for a moment. “But it may be normal. You have a great reputation. It is therefore not a surprise that he has heard about you even though you don’t know him.”

“No matter what, the bandits must be wiped out,” said Lin Qingye.

In fact, Ke Ruan didn’t agree with this kind of method. It would be better if they could pledge loyalty to the country.

In the following few days, Lin Qingye roamed around the Qiao Mountain with the burglar

leader while Ke Ruan and Si Yuhan could only stay in this room. When people came, they had to hide themselves. This kind of life was really terrible.

Thinking of this, Ke Ruan sighed.

“Han, how long do you think it will take General Lin to become familiar with this place?” Ke Ruan asked.

During the past few days, when he talked to Si Yuhan, he could only receive a perfunctory reply like “Yes”, “Okay.”

Even though, in his view, it was already quite good.

“Han,”

Ke Ruan called his name again, but no one answered.

Ke Ruan looked around the room, not to see a single person. Si Yuhan was still there when they had breakfast. How could he suddenly disappear? These days, General Lin even had specially got some books for him to kill the time, for fear that he would get bored.

Ke Ruan suddenly stood up. He knew that Si Yuhan was not the kind of person who acted harshly. He might have secretly run out to have fun because of the boredom, or…

Ke Ruan didn’t dare to think further.

He had always been here. How could it be!
