Within the Dusk Courtyard, Chu Mu sat in front of the desk. His jade-like hands lightly plucked at the silver strings while his two hands played the zither. The sound was extremely pleasant to listen to and had a rhythm to it.
With a bang, the zither fell to the ground.
"Ouch …" Chu Mu hugged his right hand and let out a painful cry.
"Miss, are you alright? Your hand is not completely healed. Doctor Yu said that you can't move it freely. " The personal maid, Little Bi Bi, immediately dropped the plate in her hands. She cupped Chu Mu's hand and carefully wrapped it with gauze.
"Has that bitch Chu Moxi made any movements in the past few days?" Chu Mu pushed away the little Bi Bi who was holding her hand and impatiently said.
The latter was pushed to the ground by Chu Mu and couldn't get up for a long time. On the other side, the other maid, Jing, replied, "No. It's the same as before."
"She really used it as a life-saving talisman!" Chu Mu's words practically came from the gaps between his teeth. The stop order was that damned stop order.
"Miss, the Duke's injunction …" Little Bi who crawled up from the ground wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Are you afraid? My mother is the host of the Duke's Mansion's backyard, so if anything happens, I'll leave it to me. Little Jing, are you willing to do it? " Chu Mu stared at Little Bi and when he turned to look at Little Jade, a smile was on her face.
Miss, no one from the Duke's Mansion is allowed to enter or leave the Mo Xi Pavilion, this is only a restriction on those from the Duke's Mansion. You said that the guards in the Mo Xi Pavilion were weak, so what did you say? Seeing Little Bi who had always been more flattered than her in front of the young miss, a trace of happiness flashed in Little Jing's eyes.
With a fawning look on her face, she offered her own ideas.
"This is a good idea. Little Jing, as expected of this young lady's personal servant girl." Chu Mu's cold words swept over Little Bi, who couldn't help but shiver. However, Chu Mu didn't spare a glance at Little Bi and instead whispered something to Little Jing.
At this moment, Chu Moxi was sitting in the yard, unaware of the imminent danger. She was fiddling with some ropes, which were tied together into knots one by one in her hands. If one was careful, one would notice that at the very end, there was still a very interesting large claw left behind.
That's right, Soaring Claw, the essential tool of Master Liang.
When Shang Chen arrived at the courtyard, he saw that Chu Moxi was fiddling with something strange. He had been staring at her without moving because he felt that this time, she had become a little bit different.
If she was a sleeping beast before, then she was now a beast awakened from her rage.
What had happened to her these past few days? Someone from the Duke Chu Palace was bullying her? His gaze landed on the pig by Chu Moxi's feet.
The latter had pricked up her ears the moment Shang Chen entered the yard. At this moment, Shang Chen's eyes swept over her and all the hair on her body stood up.
Shang Chen disappeared in a flash, and the pig glanced at Chu Moxi who was not paying attention to him, then flew away with Shang Chen.
"What's going on?" Shang Chen's tone was frosty.
"When she came back, her maid was almost beaten to death in the courtyard." The pig twitched his mouth. Was this man really so shameless? With an unhappy glare at Shang Chen, it flew back to Chu Moxi's feet and continued to stay there.
At this moment, after Chu Moxie tied the rope and got up, she saw Shang Chen standing under the big tree on the right side of the courtyard. She raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "You're here!"
"Passing by." At the same time he spat out these two words, a sword suddenly shot out of his hand.
At the start, Chu Moxi's expression was startled. She immediately reacted by pulling out her right hand, and the purple sword by her waist appeared in her hand.
At first, Chu Moxi was a little flustered under Shang Chen's attack, but later, she calmed down and began to attack and defend normally.
In the end, it could even be said that the offense and defense were quite impressive, and Shang Chen could not help but be satisfied.
Shang Chen's initial fierce offense started to transform into a slow and deliberate attack on Chu Moxi's behalf. As Chu Moxi's movements became more and more proficient, the sword in Shang Chen's hand flashed and disappeared.
"Here you go." Two scrolls, one blue and one yellow, flew out from Shang Chen's hands. Chu Moxi waved her right hand and caught them. She looked down and saw that the blue scroll was "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter".
"You …" Chu Moxi looked doubtfully at Shang Chen and said a single word.
"That Ice Clear Incantation is for your maid to cultivate with. That Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Sword Technique is for you." "I …" At this moment, Shang Chen's tone paused.
"Go." Chu Moxi spat out three words before stiffly turning around. Didn't he leave these things behind to tell her that he was leaving?
His right hand tightly gripped the scroll. He left as soon as he left. They originally had no relationship with each other, didn't they? Perhaps he had suddenly decided to be merciful and teach her how to practice her sword.
"Yes." Shang Chen did not turn around to look at Chu Moxi. During these three days, he had been thinking about what had happened to him, but he had yet to find out the answer to the question. Since he had to deal with the matter personally, he gave her the sword art to practice.
He didn't notice the disappointment in Chu Mo Xi's words. He probably thought that Chu Mo Xi understood that he only needed to leave for a short period of time.
Chu Moxi suddenly turned around in shock. "Chenchen …" Unfortunately, Shang Chen had already left. This shout was floating in the cold wind, swearing his existence.
Gone! He left!
Chu Moxi's legs went soft and she kneeled in the yard.
She didn't seem to notice the snow falling from her body. She just stood there, not knowing how much time had passed, until Lian'er noticed her. Only then did she follow Lian'er back to her room with a pale face.
