In the dead of night, Yi Xiaoqiao could not sleep. She sat on the swing in the courtyard and stared blankly at the sky.

There was no moon and no stars tonight. The sky was especially dark and the surrounding water vapour was dense. Mu Yi An said that the water vapor would rain soon. It seemed that it would rain tonight.

The tip of her foot lightly shook on the ground as she remembered what Mu Yi'an had said that night.

He said, 'Do you think they're still alive, little Joe?

Yes, they were prisoners. If they were taken by Xi Xu, would they still be alive?

The answer is no.

Even if they were still alive, they would still suffer the humiliation of being battered and exhausted, and would not be able to live a good life. However, looking at the expressions on Zhang Fifteen and the others' faces, Yi Xiaoqiao knew that their loved ones were living a good life.

In other words, they were really protected by Muyi. How did that Qianyu in the book save them?

Didn't Qian Yu say at that time that he had spent a great deal of effort to save her? Since he wasn't kidnapped by Xi Xu, why should he be saved? Did Qianyu lie?

Impossible!

Qianyu wouldn't lie.

Yi Xiaoqiao felt that Qianyu's lies were more difficult to accept than the story in the book.

Perhaps they were saved by Mu Yi'an? After all, Mu Yi'an was a villain at that time, and he wasn't a good person.

Yes, that might have been the case. At that time, Mu Yi An and the Greencloud Stronghold were enemies, and they didn't rest until they were dead. If Mu Yi An was really willing to return his family to them, how could they be enemies? Perhaps, it was a bad guy like Mu Yi An who used his family to threaten them to do something they were unwilling to do, just like how he threatened to threaten them to return to the Greencloud Stronghold!

So the book said the rescue was right.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was logical. Otherwise, why didn't Mu Yi'an inform them of this news earlier, and she wouldn't believe it. If Mu Yi'an was willing to tell Zhang XV that his family was still alive, then would he have been able to run away for so many years?

Indeed, Mu Yi An was a bad guy. He didn't say anything about saving their family back then, but he must have had some plan!

"Why are you sitting here when you don't sleep at night?"

A familiar voice sounded.

The current Muyi was not only a big bad guy in her eyes, he was also a villain that took advantage of people's situation. In short, she did not like Muyi and was also unwilling to pay attention to him.

Mu Yi'an walked closer and was immediately astonished when he realized that she was not looking at him. Normally, he wouldn't say how happy he was to see her, but he wouldn't be so resistant. Something didn't seem right today.

"Yi Xiaoqiao?" Mu Yi An asked again.

Big Scoundrel, don't talk to her!

Yi Xiaoqiao turned around and looked away from him.

Mu Yi An was surprised. He sized her up and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Speak frankly, what happened?"

"No problem, I'm going to bed!" Muyi was a big scoundrel, the kind that killed people just because he said so. Yi Xiaoqiao did not dare to tell him his thoughts. Besides, was this a story from a book? Who would believe it!

"Halt!"

Just after they had walked a few steps, Muyi spoke up. He slowly walked to Yi Xiaoqiao's side and blocked her: "What happened? "Speak clearly."

Yi Xiaoqiao pouted. "What did you say? "I'm just in a bad mood."

Not in a good mood?

This reason was too casual. Why didn't I see her in a bad mood before?

For some reason, Mu Yi'an's mood also turned sour. It was as if his mood was clouded, and no matter how he fiddled, he couldn't open the fog.

Following Yi Xiaoqiao into the room, Yi Xiaoqiao had already taken off her shoes and crawled into bed. As usual, she hid in the innermost corner.

Ever since she woke up that morning and found herself in Mu Yi'an's arms, she would definitely push her way to the corner of the wall when she went to sleep again.

In the middle of the bed, there was a piece of red silk. Their contract was written densely on it. The first line was that they absolutely could not touch Yi Xiao Qiao.

The corner of Mu Yi An's mouth curled up. He lay sideways beside the bed with one hand supporting his face. The words were too casual and seductive. His gaze fell on her little head and was faintly smiling.

Muyi wagered that Yi Qiao did not know how terrible her sleeping posture was. If she did, she would know that even if she wrapped herself up in a silkworm, it would still be useless.

Thinking about Yi Xiaoqiao's miserable sleeping posture, Mu Yi An smiled.

"Hello." Yi Xiaoqiao turned around and stared at him. "Have you seen enough?"

His gaze almost burned her. She had the feeling that someone was aiming a sight at her head and was going to shoot her in the head the next second.

Mu Yi An pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't say anything and only stared at her.

Yi Xiaoqiao was frightened by his stare. Her cheeks gradually flushed red. An uncontrollable anger arose in her heart. She bit her lips and asked angrily, "What do you want?"

Mu Yi An tilted his head and looked at her, not replying.

However, Yi Xiaoqiao knew what he was about to say, so she sat up, grabbed the quilt and said, "Okay, let me ask you, you already saved their family, but why didn't you tell them about this? Why keep it a secret? We've kept it a secret for so many years, captured them all the way until we caught them, and then told them the truth about what happened. Why is that? "

Mu Yi An sat up with his legs bent, his arm casually resting on his bent knee. He asked with a frown, "Are you angry because of this?"

Yi Xiaoqiao also felt that she was making a big fuss out of nothing, but she felt a lump in her throat. She clearly knew that Muyi was the villain, but when she thought about how Muyi might be that sort of a villain, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if she had been slapped in the face by reality.

"You can tell them that if you tell them, they won't run away and won't become bandits. There's nothing messing around right now, maybe there's no Cyan Cloud Camp at all. Why are you hiding this from them, why …" Yi Xiaoqiao bit her lips and threw the pillow at him, as if she was in a bad mood. "You are such a bad guy!"

Mu Yi An caught it, his lips flashing with ridicule: "I'm a bad guy? "Then how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Yi Xiaoqiao felt a little guilty at being asked like that. She pursed her lips and said, "Why not just say it? It's such a simple matter. If you tell them, they will definitely understand."

"You're saying that we should beat the gong and tell everyone. Although they have escaped and killed many people, not only are they not punished, their relatives are still alive and well. They are being protected. Where is the prestige of our Gan Clan? "

Yi Xiaoqiao opened and closed her mouth, speechless.

"Yi Xiaoqiao, they are deserters, deserters who are executed according to the military rules. I originally planned to kill them to establish my prestige when they see their families. If you beg for mercy, I can release them and give them a chance to start over, but you have to know, there are no opportunities that have fallen out of nowhere, if you want to live a peaceful life, you will have to atone for your deeds!"

"You didn't imprison their families because you wanted to use them …" Yi Xiaoqiao's voice gradually lowered. She felt that she might have misunderstood Muyi. Perhaps he didn't have that many playthings?

"Yi Xiaoqiao?"

Yi Xiaoqiao raised her head and lowered her head in guilt, "Yes."

"Are you really worried about Cui Chen and the others?"

Hearing his words, Yi Xiaoqiao seemed to have a deeper meaning behind them. However, she did not manage to figure out the reason behind his words. Thus, she hesitated and nodded her head slightly.

"Alright, I'll leave the matters of the Greencloud Stronghold to you."

Yi Xiaoqiao was slightly startled, then suddenly raised his head. "Leave it to me? You don't want me to be full? "

"Is it even useful to forbid you? "If I say that you are not allowed to care, will you really not care about it?" Mu Yi An asked.

Yi Xiaoqiao smiled embarrassedly. All right, she admitted that she wanted to join in the fun.

"Although I'm giving it to you, I can't give it to you for no reason at all. You need to make a military order."

The smile on Yi Xiaoqiao's face slowly disappeared. "What military order?"

"It's fine if you can take down the Blood Lotus Cult, but if you can't, you have to sit down like Cui Sheng and the rest."

Yi Xiao Qiao shook her head and asked with a bitter face, "You want to kill me?"

Mu Yi'an chuckled, pinching her little face. "Why would I kill you?"

Yi Xiaoqiao was puzzled.

Mu Yi An leaned over, his thin lips resting on her small, fleshy earlobes, "I have a lot of methods to punish you."

She stared at Muyi in horror. When she thought of the way he had taken care of Madam Qiao, Yi Xiaoqiao almost cried while clutching her neck, "Can I regret this?"

"No." Mu Yi An pulled out something from his waist and stuffed it into her hand. He held her hand tightly and said, "Wait for me to come back."

"You want to go out?"

"I've heard from the border that you're in a hurry. I'm leaving." Mu Yi An rubbed her little head, "If you want to do this, you will definitely become the target of public criticism. The Blood Lotus Cult will not let you off easily. Take the thing I gave you and protect yourself!"

Yi Xiaoqiao opened her mouth in shock. When she heard his words, she was even more astonished than before, "Now … Go now? "

"Right, we'll leave immediately." Mu Yi'an nodded, getting up and walking outside.

"Muyi." Yi Xiaoqiao did not expect to be separated so quickly. She was leaving at night even in the day. How could she leave just like that? For a moment, she felt empty inside.

"Don't worry about me. Take care of yourself." With that, he disappeared from the room.

"Wait!" Yi Xiaoqiao didn't bother putting on his shoes. He ran to the door in quick steps: "Muyi An!"

Her voice was somewhat mournful, as if she was frightened, afraid that she would be separated from him forever.

Mu Yi An's footsteps stopped as he looked at her in surprise.

Yi Xiaoqiao realized that her reaction was too big. She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Muyi, if I take down the Blood Lotus Sect, can you give me the jade token?"

Mu Yi An stood tall and slender, with his hands behind his back. The gentle wind was blowing, and the pink fluff on the tree was like the waves of the ocean.

"Sure, as long as you take over the Blood Lotus Cult, I will give you the jade plates." His deep voice and the song of the acacia tree, inexplicably pleasant.

"It's a deal!" Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up, "I'll go get pen and paper!"

It seemed that no matter what he did, Yi Xiaoqiao always liked to write it down in black and white.

Mu Yi An didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Next time, it's too late. I have to go."
