The other nephews saw that Brightmoon had been implicated, and regretted their decision. They followed suit, kowtowing to her and arguing incessantly.
"It really has nothing to do with Madam Mingyue. It's all the fault of this commoner."
"The king is wise, this subject has something to say." Manager Dong said loudly as he climbed up the boat.
"Go ahead." Yulixiao turned his head to look at him, his eyes revealing a cold intent.
The shopkeeper hurriedly pointed to the outside and said quickly: "The king is very clear. Not only are the masters of the Tai Zhou making fun of each other, we of the cruise ship are also having problems with the consort. Some people are just jealous, or perhaps curious, but after a few days, we will be replaced by something new. Therefore, our lord did not have any ill intentions and did not do it on purpose. Indeed, I didn't know that the princess of the king would come … "
When Yulixiao heard this, he was enraged, "Is it a joke to slander someone as despicable as you? Saints have the clouds, they already do not wish to do anything, and do nothing to others. If your wives and daughters are trampled on like this, where will you go from here? "
Everyone bowed their heads in silence. Yu Li Rui looked around the cruise liner's hall and sneered: "There are beautiful words about talented people, and there are also filthy sluts. What's the use of living with this kind of trash?" Those who participated in the battle today were to be killed. It is not bad to say that this king measures a small tyrant, but this king will not allow anyone to insult others so wantonly. It is the same with your wives and daughters. If anyone dares to insult you in this way, you may report them to the Crown and punish them according to the law.
Ye Heng hurriedly kowtowed and agreed.
"Lord Ye, which nephew of yours is in charge of this pleasure boat?" Yulixiao turned his head to look at the young men.
A person trembled as he crawled out from the crowd. He kowtowed in front of him and said, "king, you are a commoner. This commoner knows his crimes. Please be merciful, king."
"If This King doesn't want to kill you, then go get fifty slabs. Your uncle will personally beat you." Yulixiao stared at him for a moment, and said coldly.
"Thank you, king." That person was so scared that his entire body went limp. When he heard that he didn't need to die, tears and snot flowed down his face. He wiped his face and quickly expressed his gratitude.
They were only merchants, not comparable to Chen Yao's Valley of Godly Doctors. They could not stand to be scared.
Yulixiao understood in his heart that even if someone was joking with Yu Yan, there would still be one who would be the first to be bold and brave.
While the songs outside were being entertained, the other pleasure boats were all too eager to lose a competitor. At this time, they were in full swing as the gongs and drums were being played in unison, each displaying their own abilities.
Yu Yan leaned on the ship's side and sat down, holding a bowl of tea, she tilted her head and listened to the female singing. The guards were driven aside to prevent them from disturbing her.
A strand of long hair suddenly fell from the top of her head, scaring her out of her wits. She quickly raised her head, only to see Mo Wenli, that monster, hanging upside down from the top of her head.
"Mo Wenli, are you a ghost?"
She covered her heart and splashed a bowl of water on Mo Wenli's face. This soul was almost scared away by him. A bowl of water was considered light!
Mo Wenli dodged the bowl of tea and smiled as he gave his hand to her.
"Come, come up, I'll show you the moon."
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand out to him.
With a tug, he pulled Yu Yan up to the top of the cruise liner.
Standing here, he could see very far. The river was silent as it stretched all the way to the end of the sky. Starlight, moonlight, and light all fell into the river. As the wind blew, the river became covered with creases of light.
"So beautiful." She narrowed her eyes and stretched out her arms.
"You're really capable." Mo Wenli turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Yu Yan looked at him in puzzlement.
Mo Wenli placed his hands behind his back and raised his head to look at the pleasure boat opposite him. He said in a low voice, "Once you get on board, this pleasure boat will no longer have a single customer.
"Okay, today, I have already been destroyed by someone into a demon. Why do you need to mock me again?" Yu Yan said softly.
Mo Wenli laughed, then turned to look at her, "Your erythema is not new, you've been laughed at since you were young, why do you care so much now?"
Yu Yan did not make a sound, of course it was because of Yulixiao. She had nothing, loved Yulixiao who had too much, and with such a face, how could she not worry? She was made into such a mess by others, digging a hole and diving into it, or jumping into a deep river... She wanted to never open her eyes again.
"Idiot." He raised his hand and gently rubbed it against her hair. Suddenly, he spoke gently.
"You really don't know this?" Yu Yan turned her head to look at him, pulling out the small silver lock from her neck, and asked softly.
Mo Wenli was quiet for a moment, then laughed: "I gave it to you, you thought you would never find it again."
Yu Yan's eyes suddenly widened as she asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Why are you so happy?" Mo Wenli curiously asked her.
"When father picked me up, he saw a young man. "You are my brother?" Yu Yan pursed her lips and laughed, holding onto his sleeve and said softly: "That's why when you first entered the martial arts world, you specially went to see how I was doing. That year when my father was in trouble, you went to the execution grounds to see me … But why don't you recognize me? "
Mo Wenli stared at her for a long time before lifting his hand to lightly cover her small face. He said gently: "Yes, I am your brother. All these years, you have avenged your parents and lived a life filled with blood and gore. I don't want to implicate you, so you should just be an ordinary person. "
"My father... "Who is it?" Yu Yan hurriedly asked.
Mo Wenli turned his head and stared at the river for a long time before saying in a low voice, "It's Mo Chang from the Flying Orchid Escort Office of Huai An City. Because of this dart, I was targeted by a villain. You destroyed the entire Mo Clan, so only loyal servants protected me … After protecting us and escaping into the forest, I lost you, causing you to be used as a magic spell. Fortunately, we found you … I can't take you to be my disciple, so I gave you to Yu Xiang. "
"So that's how it is. No wonder no one came to claim me. I didn't even exist anymore …"
Yu Yan nodded slightly. She had never thought about the daughter of the escort team. Fortunately, she didn't want to have a complicated life. She just wanted to be an ordinary person, the more ordinary the better.
"No wonder I always wanted to be free and unrestrained. So it turns out that my biological father is a hero of the Jianghu." She sighed lightly and held the small lock, her mood gradually becoming complicated and depressing.
Mo Wenli turned his head again, and looked at her pensive look. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Follow me back to Cold Water Palace."
"Alright." Yu Yan nodded, and then stared into his eyes and said: "You are my big brother, so of course I have to go over to your place to take a look, it's just that … "You wouldn't lie to me, right? You lied to me, but that's just lying to him. That is the crime of deceiving the Emperor, and that is the crime that requires the death of one's head."
"What's the good of lying to you? What can you give me? " Mo Wenli laughed and said softly, "If you don't believe me, I can tell you the birthmark on your body. You don't think I've peeked at you... Or did he tell me? "
Back then when he found her, she was only a month old with a soft and white mass. She only knew how to cry and urinate and shit on his body every day, making a teenager helpless. How could she not remember the birthmark on her body?
Yu Yan blushed and whispered: "Then, where is the birthmark?"
"There are two small moles under the right armpit. The left one is slightly bigger, red, and the right one is smaller. It's brown in color." He smiled and asked, "That's right. No matter what happens, I would never steal a peek at that place, right?"
That's true. I can't just lift her arm and look … Yu Yan clamped his arm, and pursed her lips into a smile.
"You are older than me by more than ten years. Are we the same mother? What did she look like? Do you have a portrait? "
"Yes, but the house has been burnt down and there are no more portraits." Mo Wenli thought, and said softly.
Yu Yan and he looked at each other for a moment, then gently nodded, "Not bad, not bad … You and I, I and you, are still alive … "
Mo Wenli's heart suddenly softened. That feeling that he couldn't explain it, that he didn't know the reason, had welled up again. He wasn't a close relative, but was like one. He didn't like it, but it seemed like he liked it a lot. These feelings mixed together in his heart, causing him to hesitate.
In fact, it was the same for Yu Yan. The more she interacted with Mo Wenli, the more intimate she felt her relationship, as if she had already known him in his previous life.
Of course she didn't know about those days when he had stank a little in Mo Wenli's embrace, nor would she know that she had bitten his finger and drank his blood with all her might.
"Do you think I'm the only one with this lock, or do you have it? When we were at the Palace, why didn't you want to admit it, was it because you didn't want others to know? " Yu Yan asked again.
"Only you have." Mo Wenli said.
"Oh, maybe it's because I'm a girl." Yu Yan happily put the lock back into her collar, stretched her body, and said crisply: "Not bad, so there's actually a family member, and I'm not that lonely anymore."
Mo Wenli laughed, then extended his hand out towards her, "Come, I'll take you to play."
Yu Yan hesitated and looked down the pleasure boat. What would she do if she couldn't find her?
"If I can't find him, then so be it. What can he do to my sister? If he dares to bully you, I will bring you to the ends of the world. "
Mo Wenli pulled her fingers, pulled them into his embrace, and suddenly stood up as he swept towards the middle of the river.
