Returning to the old farmer's house, the moment they entered the house, the old uncle and his wife came out to welcome them, their faces full of joy.

"I've already heard about your matters from my fellow countrymen. You two are really good people, to be able to get rid of such a great disaster for everyone." The things that had been stolen by the villagers had also been taken back. Everyone was extremely happy. Thank you so much, both of you. " As the old man excitedly spoke, the old man and his wife were about to kneel down.

"Uncle, you're too polite. It's only right that we eliminate all the harm." Xue Ruyun helped the old man up.

"Aiya, if only I had met you earlier. The villagers wouldn't have suffered so much." The old man was filled with emotion.

At this time, a lot of people came to the door one after another. They all came to thank Mu Ying and the others for eliminating evil for the people. There were also many other people who wanted to see these two peerless, powerful martial arts couples who were hot-blooded.

Mu Ying had never been able to deal with these kinds of situations, so he directly went to the backyard to practice his sword. Only Xue Ruyun was there chatting with everyone.

After sending off his fellow villagers, Xue Ruoyun walked towards the backyard, where Mu Ying was already resting. He was sitting on a tree trunk with his legs bent, his arms crossed in front of his chest and his eyes closed in meditation.

Xue Ruyun walked up to the tree. Seeing Mu Ying, she smiled and jumped onto the tree.

"Are they gone?" Mu Ying knew that Xue Ruyun had arrived, so he opened his eyes and moved aside to give a spot for him.

"Yes, the villagers are all too enthusiastic." Feeling that he had done a good deed, Xue Luoyun's mood was greatly different, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Are you worried about me this afternoon?" Mu Ying suddenly asked.

When he saw Xue Ruyun's anxious appearance just now, the usually calm her actually spoke in a slightly different tone. At that moment, Mu Sheng's heart was filled with a blissful feeling.

Up until now, although Xue Luoyun had agreed to marry him, he had only said that he didn't dislike it. Later, on Pirates' Island, he heard about her concern for him.

And now, Mu Ying could feel that she cared a lot about him. This increase in their relationship made Mu Ying incredibly satisfied and happy.

"Eh, is that so? I was just afraid that you'd be tricked by him …" Xue Luoyun's face was slightly red.

"Hahaha." Seeing her shy appearance, Mu Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. It was a smile that would appear on the corner of his mouth when he saw her uncontrollably. It was probably the look of someone who fell in love with someone.

Dinner was still coarse tea and light rice, but Xue Ruoyun loved the wild vegetables in the countryside.

"Miss, do we still need to hurry today?" Seeing that the matter here had been resolved, Yun Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"No rush, it depends on the situation. It's possible that he won't leave either." Xue Ruyun thought for a while.

"This …" For a moment, Yun Zhi didn't understand this answer.

Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying looked at each other and smiled. "There are still things that we haven't done yet."

"What else is there?" Yun Zhi scratched her head in confusion.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xue Ruyun mysteriously said as he continued to eat.

After dinner, the few of them continued to enjoy the cool air in the courtyard. This had already become a habit of theirs. While the moon was bright and sparse, the trees were swaying in the wind, enjoying the peace before the storm.

"It's great to have you two by my side." The old woman sighed.

"That's right. Ever since our son left, we've been two lonely old men. It's been a long time since there was such a commotion. It's been such a great time that so many people were together." Sigh, if you leave, my old couple might not be used to it for a while. " At this point, the old man felt a little disappointed.

"That's right..." The old woman also had the same feeling. During this period of time with Xue Ruoyun, she felt like her own daughter. She would nag at her with all kinds of heartfelt words, and if she left, she would only be able to mutter to herself.

"Grandma, don't be sad. As the saying goes, there is no banquet that does not disperse. Meeting with you two elders, this is a fated relationship given by the heavens. If fate has come, cherish it well, and if fate has left, then you won't regret it anymore, just remember that there was once such a happy day. Actually, I can't bear to part with you guys, but we still have important matters to attend to. I have no choice but to leave. Once we have settled our matters, we will definitely come to visit you. "

Xue Ruyun patiently advised, afraid that the old woman would be hurt.

Hearing Xue Ruyun's words, everyone's mood improved a lot.

"Alright, alright, alright. You must remember that." The old woman tightly held Xue Luoyun's hand.

"Mm, definitely." Xue Luoyun nodded in agreement.

"This Lin Yun is a good girl, you must treat her well." On the other side, the old uncle couldn't help but exhort Mu Sheng as he looked at Xue Muyun and the others.

"I will." Mu Yong glanced at Xue Ruyun, like he was agreeing to an old man, and more like he was sure of himself.

As the few of them chatted, they suddenly saw a flash of fire from outside. The light grew brighter and brighter as it headed straight for the small courtyard.

"What's going on?" Feeling that something was wrong, the old man quickly stood up and looked towards the door.

Looking through the sparse crack in the door, the old farmer's face suddenly changed. He shouted, "Not good, not good! A group of soldiers are coming from the outside and they are surrounding us."

"Really? He came so fast." Xue Ruyun's expression did not change. As for Mu Sheng, he continued to happily read the military manual in his hands.

"Why are you two still so relaxed? Hurry up and hide, they must have been brought here by Xu Shiming to settle the score. I, this old man, will block the door first. You guys run as far as you can." The old man hurried to bolt the door.

"Uncle, there's no need to rush. Go inside with grandma and rest for the time being. Just don't come out." Leave this place to us. " After saying that, Xue Ruyun stood up and patted off the dust on the corner of his skirt.

"Miss, you don't know, this government officials are not like bullies. They are not to be trifled with." As the old man anxiously looked outside, he urged Xue Luoyun and the others.

At this moment, Xu Shiming and the officials had already arrived at the entrance. "Surround them all, don't even let a single fly out." Xu Shiming ordered.

"Aiya, it's too late." The old man heard a cry of alarm.

"Uncle, don't worry. Today, we will eradicate this dog official as well." "Come on, you guys go in first. Don't come out."

Xue Luoyun opened the door, allowing the old couple to enter. He then closed the door. He then turned around and sat down leisurely.

They saw Xu Shiming leading the way. After shouting a few times for no one to respond, he kicked open the wooden door and the soldiers rushed in.

He saw that they surrounded them, both inside and out. In front of them, a row of soldiers even squatted down and drew their bows, aiming their arrows at them.

The surrounding villagers had long since followed them. As they watched from afar, they secretly felt nervous for Xue Muyun and the others.

"My birthday was a good one, yet it caused all of you to be destroyed. At that time, I was not prepared, so I came to take your dog life." Xu Shiming rushed in front, his hands still wrapped in some gauze.

Upon seeing Xue Luoyun and the others, Xu Shiming immediately broke out in curses, no longer having that humble expression from before. Recalling what that had happened today, he was still indignant.

At this time, the soldiers automatically opened up a path, and a man in the shape of a government official swaggered in.

Seeing this, Xu Shiming hurried over and said ingratiatingly, "Big Brother, it's these two people. Today they destroyed my birthday banquet and even allowed me to return the gifts that everyone sent for my birthday. They are truly going too far."

With an aggrieved expression, Xu Shiming quickly complained.

Jia Tengda had a big belly and seemed to be disdainful of everything. He had his hands behind his back as he strolled up. It seemed like he was the county's old master, Jia Tengda.

He slowly walked over and stroked his beard. "Where is he?"

"It's the two of them." Xu Shiming pointed at Xue Luoyun and the others.

"How dare you! Why aren't you kneeling down when you see the county's old master!" Relying on Jia Tengda's aura, Xu Shiming berated loudly.

"Where?" Jia Tengda looked in the direction Xu Shiming was pointing at, only to see the two of them completely treating them as if they were nothing but empty air, ignoring him as they drank tea and read their books.

Seeing the arrogant appearances of the two, Jia Tengda, who was used to being worshipped by commoners, couldn't tolerate them.

He was instantly angered. "How dare you look down on me!" "Come on, arrest him."

"Yes." The soldiers promised and were about to come forward.

At this time, Mu Sheng unhurriedly stood up and walked toward Jia Tengda. "You are the local Zhixian?"

"That's me." Jia Tengda glanced sideways at Mu Sheng and arrogantly answered.

"How dare you call the old master by his name!" He's really giving up his life! " Xu Shiming scolded loudly on the side.

Mu Sheng completely ignored him and walked up to him. "As a local parent, you don't seek for the welfare of the people and are even mixed up with the local tyrants. It's your bad luck that you met me today. "

"Heh, not bad." Jia Tengda stopped stroking his beard and looked Mu Ying up and down with a sullen face.

"What, you're so nosy?" Jia Tengda looked around Mu Ying before asking with ill intentions.

Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows but didn't answer.

"Then I will let you go to the prison and properly avenge your people." Jia Tengda's voice suddenly became louder as he flung his sleeves and suddenly scolded.

The soldiers all walked over.

"Who dares!" The shadow guard beside Mu Ying held his sword as he stepped forward to block the attack.

"Wei Ming, step down." Mu Sheng's voice was low.

"Yes." The dark guard responded and unwillingly left.

He saw Mu Ying walk forward and unhurriedly took out a jade pendant from his waist, waving it in front of Jia Tengda.

This jade pendant caused Jia Tengda's eyes to go blurry. He roughly grabbed it and carefully examined it.

"What a shitty thing! You want to bribe me with it? I'm telling you, it's too late!" Jia Tengda said as he flipped the jade pendant over and over.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his expression changed from one of impatience to one of seriousness.

He brought the jade pendant closer to him and took a closer look. He saw that this jade pendant was carved with fine inscriptions of a dragon engraved on its back. He turned around on his back, and shockingly, there was the word "Win" engraved on it.
