Chapter 136: The Scar under the Mask

As panicked as he was, he couldn’t refuse Lin Yuelan. He couldn’t hide his face away from her forever.

Jiang Zhennan nodded with some difficulty and said, “Alright. However,” he said nervously, “My face is very scary. Miss Yue ‘Er, after you see it, you must not be afraid!” He said it with some difficulty and sadness. He didn’t want the disfigurement either.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “don’t worry, big brother Nan. I’m very bold. I’m not even afraid of ghosts. Is your face scarier than ghosts?”

Lin Yuelan wanted to see Jiang Zhennan’s face to see if she could help him. Of course, before she could do that, she had to study medicine first.

Jiang Zhennan finally reached out his hand and unbuttoned the back button. Then, he slowly took off his mask.

Lin Yuelan watched unblinkingly as Jiang Zhennan took off the silver mask.

She was also curious about the true appearance of Jiang Zhennan, the War God, who was said to have entered the battlefield at the age of ten and became a general at the age of eighteen.

He had sharp brows, a high nose bridge, and thick lips. The most attractive thing about him was his eyes, which were like the cold stars in the abyss.

Lin Yuelan looked up and said seriously, “big brother Nan, you should squat down. You’re too tall, and I’m too short, so I can’t see clearly!” Jiang Zhennan was very tall, and according to Lin Yuelan’s visual estimation, he should be 1.9 meters tall.

Lin Yuelan had grown a lot over the past two months, but she was still less than 1.2 meters. Therefore, she had a hard time trying to see Jiang Zhennan’s face.

After Jiang Zhennan heard Lin Yuelan, he was very surprised.

He thought that as soon as he took off his mask, Lin Yuelan would scream in fear and hide. Then she would drive him away and make him disappear from her sight.

He was mentally prepared, but the real event surprised him still. Lin Yuelan actually told him to squat down. He didn’t think that she wouldn’t notice the scar once he took off the mask.

After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Zhennan immediately squatted down to let Lin Yuelan see him clearer.

However, he immediately felt a shadow in front of him. Then, a soft and cool little hand touched the scar starting at the corner of his left eye.

Lin Yuelan touched the scar and thought. ‘This man is clearly so handsome. Who said he’s scary-looking? Granted, there’s a scar on his face that stretches from the corner of his left eye to the bridge of his nose, but it doesn’t look scary at all.

‘The scar was not treated well. After it healed, the inner flesh was a little exposed, making it look a little hideous. However, those judgemental people should really consider how he got this scar. He got it on the battlefield. He fought so that these people could live in peace.

‘And now the same people are mocking him for having a scary face? What a joke!’

Lin Yuelan touched it a few times, then said to Jiang Zhennan very seriously,” big brother Nan, the scar on your face is not ugly at all. And this scar is the symbol of your heroism. No one has the right to mock it!”

This sentence gave Jiang Zhennan an unprecedented shock.

Since he had this scar, everyone only commented on how ugly, grim and terrifying it was. Because of that, he developed a deep sense of inferiority. However, he was the War God. He couldn’t tell others that he felt inferior because of others’ comments about his appearance. He’d be laughed at. Therefore, he pretended that he didn’t care. He found a silver mask and wore it every day. The mask only added to his aura of coldness.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt proud of the scar on his face. The scar was a symbol of his heroism.

Jiang Zhennan, who was suddenly enlightened, smiled from the bottom of his heart. He said to Lin Yuelan, “thank you, miss Yue ‘Er!”

Lin Yuelan was confused. “Big brother Nan, what are you thanking me for? I’m telling the truth.”

Jiang Zhennan’s eyes under the mask were sharp, but Lin Yuelan could see the inferiority hidden deep in his eyes. Lin Yuelan could derive the reason why. Therefore, she wanted to encourage him. Plus, she wasn’t really telling a lie either.

Lin Yuelan suddenly asked in a serious tone, “big brother Nan, if I have the ability to remove this scar for you, would you be willing to do so?”

Jiang Zhennan had started to accept the scar, but the journey to true acceptance wouldn’t happen overnight. Plus, who didn’t love a beautiful appearance?

Jiang Zhennan was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect Lin Yuelan to provide him with this offer.

Jiang Zhennan thought for a moment and asked with the same serious expression, “Then, miss Yue ‘Er, do you think I should remove this scar or not?”
