After leaving the palace, Mu Yizi stood in front of the Mu Army Manor's gates, at a loss of what to do.
In the end, he was back here. In his mind, he thought back to what he had said to himself: "Escape is only temporary. In the end, we all have to bite the bullet and face it."
Taking a deep breath, Mu Yizi stepped into the vermilion threshold.
Just as he was about to return to his room, he was attracted by a figure.
The man wore a blue robe. The front of his robe was wide open, revealing his firm chest. He wore a silver mask that covered half his face. He had a thin smile that was not a smile on his face. He was fiddling with a steel crossbow in his hand.
"Who are you?" Mu Yizi straightened her back, not wanting to let an outsider see her weak appearance.
The man glanced at her but said nothing. He raised the crossbow in his hand and pointed it at Mu Yizi. Then, he raised his index finger and shot an arrow at her.
Instinctively, Mu Yizi stepped on the air and spun to the side, brushing past the sharp arrow. However, his weak body could not withstand the force of impact from the sudden landing, and he could not help but feel somewhat exhausted.
Mu Yizi glared at the man, clenching her falling hand into a fist.
Just as he was about to get up and attack that man, he was stopped by Ji Qing who suddenly appeared.
"Jing Yu, don't be rude!"
Ji Qing slowly walked over with his hands behind his back, along with Shen Bai, who had his head lowered.
"Little girl, are you hurt?" To think that Ji Qing was kindly inquiring about Mu Yiran's condition, this made Mu Yiran feel a little strange.
Even so, out of respect for Ji Qing, Mu Yizi still nodded.
Turning around, Ji Qing took out a jade flute from his sleeve and knocked on Jing Yu's head, "Apologize!"
Jing Yu turned his head to the side and hung the crossbow on his waist. He crossed his arms and remained silent.
Seeing that, Ji Qing kicked him hard, after glaring at him in disappointment, he turned to Mu Yizi and said, "Little girl, don't mind me! This stinking brat has been spoiled by his father. His father and your father are martial brothers, so logically speaking, he should call you senior sister. "
"His name is Tang Jingyu, whatever you want him to do is up to you." Are you all right? Do you want me to take your pulse? " As he spoke, Ji Qing extended his hand to help Mu Yizi up.
Ji Qing's wrinkled face was now filled with flattery. He looked so arrogant that Mu Yizi wondered if he was the same person.
There was no need to be courteous. It was either adultery or theft.
Mu Youzi avoided Ji Qing's hand without leaving a trace and still stood up.
"Grand Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."
She really didn't want to see Ji Qing like this anymore. This made Mu Yizi feel awkward, so she could only go straight to the point.
Ji Qing saw that Mu Yiran was also a good person, so she decided not to beat around the bush.
"Then this old man won't say anything in the dark. He originally wanted this brat's father to come." He didn't expect for something to happen to his family, so he could only send this brat over. "I was hoping that his father would teach you a few moves, but now, I'm counting on you to teach him more!" Ji Qing placed his hands behind his back and returned to his original appearance as that strange old man.
It was only then that Mu Yizi understood. She had spent so much time in order to entrust the person who nearly killed her the first time they met to her care!
At first, Mu Yazi was extremely unwilling. Who would want to keep someone who could threaten their life at their side?
But when she saw Shen Bai standing behind Ji Qing, she changed her mind.
If Ji Qing left and only Shen Bai was left behind, she might feel even more embarrassed. If she could have one more person, perhaps she would have been more at ease.
"Since it is requested by Master, how can I refuse? And Zi will definitely take good care of Junior Brother. " Mu Yizi pursed her lips, her smile extremely forced.
Even though Ji Qing had seen through it, he could not point it out. He only turned his head to glance at Shen Bai, who had been silent all this time, and shook his head helplessly.
"Whatever. Today, I will be leaving." The three of you get along, and don't come up with any tricks. "
Although he said those words to Mu Yizi on the surface, but Ji Qing's eyes were staring fixedly at Tang Jingyu.
Tang Jingyu disdainfully snorted and muttered, "I wouldn't call this little girl Senior Sister."
Everyone present was quite skilled, so they could naturally hear his mutterings.
Ji Qing coughed and felt embarrassed. What could he do? Tang Jingyu, that stinking brat, had been spoiled by that disciple of his since he was young. After all, he was the only son of his family, so he naturally had to be pampered a bit.
"Zi, come with me."
There was no other way. Tang Jingyu couldn't explain it to him, so he could only make a move from Mu Yiran's side.
Mu Yizi did not say anything, but followed Ji Qing into the house. Shen Bai tactfully did not follow them. He simply walked up to Tang Jingyu's side, not knowing what to say.
When Mu Zihe came out, Tang Jingyu's attitude changed dramatically. Mu Yizi's eyes turned shy, but she still maintained her arrogant and lovable expression, looking a little awkward.
Seeing this, Ji Qing knew that it was definitely Shen Bai who had done the deed. He glanced at Shen Bai and grinned. It seems that this brat, Shen Bai, has quite a deep affection for Mu Yizi!
Ji Qing didn't say anything. Instead, he bid his farewells to Mu Yurou before leaping onto the roof. With a turn of his body, he disappeared from sight.
Only three people remained in the courtyard. They looked at each other, not wanting to avoid embarrassment.
Mu Yizi glanced at the two of them, then turned around with her hands behind her back, and prepared to leave.
"Hey!" Stop right there! " Tang Jingyu suddenly opened his mouth, and instinctively stretched out his foot, proving the urgency in his heart.
Mu Yizi stopped when she heard this, and looked at the two people behind her with a puzzled expression, not knowing what else they wanted.
At this moment, Tang Jingyu suddenly became bashful and turned his head to look at Shen Bai beside him.
Shen Bai didn't move, just waiting for Tang Jingyu's next move.
Tang Jingyu tugged on Shen Bai's sleeve as if it was the first time that the girl had seen her sweetheart.
Mu Yizi smiled. Why was it that young people nowadays were all so shy?
Although Jin Li had an open mind, she wasn't inferior to a man like a woman!
"Can a lord like you speak frankly? "You're so shy, like a young wife. You shot me just now, why are you embarrassed now?"
Tang Jingyu shot a glance at Shen Bai. There was a hidden bitterness in his eyes.
He said like a mosquito, "I'm sorry." Then, he hid behind Shen Bai.
Mu Yizi's eyes widened as she looked at him and asked, "What did you say?"
On the contrary, Tang Jingyu thought that she was deliberately listening to him say it again. He angrily stomped his foot and said: "I'm sorry! Are you deaf or lame? "
