"Let me go?"

Wu Ming frowned.

He was forced to come here, and now that he's being asked to do this task again, it's natural that it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

However, he also knew that his father's move was simply to consolidate his position in the court.

After all, as their father grew older, his subordinates were all in their prime, with many ambitious men. Among the Ten Great Halls, quite a few hall masters had already harbored rebellious thoughts, and they were just waiting for the right opportunity.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, suddenly feeling a great sense of responsibility.

Fortunately, he had several carriages to escort him, so it wasn't too difficult.

As his mind raced, his gaze suddenly sharpened and naturally fell upon Ye Mujiu, who was walking away.

He was very reluctant to leave at that moment.

Now all he wanted was to stay by Ye Mujiu's side, even though the latter looked disgusted and repulsed. For some reason, he used to think that anyone who dared to show such an expression would inevitably be beaten up, and if he happened to be in a bad mood at the time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to exterminate their entire clan.

But when this expression appeared on Ye Mujiu's face, everything seemed so beautiful, as if she had stepped out of a painting, making Wu Ming unable to get angry at all.

It must be said that even in his eyes, who has seen countless people, Ye Mujiu is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. If we had to rank her, she would be in the top two.

The first place naturally belongs to the Domain King's wife of the Great Qin Domain, a beauty of unparalleled grace. Countless top experts are captivated by her charm, and among the top ten in the Nine Provinces Continent, at least five admire her peerless beauty.

That's a true beauty.

Beauty lies not in physical strength, but in character and integrity.

He didn't originally intend to come to this backward Desolate Heaven Domain; he was just going through the motions, using threats and inducements to coerce the Sword God Palace. If they didn't give up, then he would act on behalf of the Divine Domain.

But who would have thought that he would meet Ye Mujiu, a woman he found extremely beautiful, and thus the original three-day construction period began to be delayed.

As for how long it will take, that depends on his progress.

After the guards took their leave, he hurriedly followed behind Ye Mujiu, even smelling her fragrance.

At this moment, Ye Mujiu and Zhang Ling'er were already sitting on the chairs on either side of the pavilion.

Being so close to the lake, you can almost smell the lake's distinctive fishy odor.

Occasionally, small fish leap out of the water to frolic and play. Sunlight shines on the lake, refracting in gentle arcs, creating a scene of serene tranquility.

There are also lotus flowers on the lake. When the breeze blows, the lotus flowers sway in the breeze, which is a very pleasant sight.

However, the two people, who were enjoying the scenery, were not happy at all.

At the edge of the pavilion, less than an inch from the lake, sat an old man wearing a straw hat and old clothes. He looked very ordinary, no different from an ordinary farmer.

The old man was fishing, but if you looked closely, you would find that although he was fishing, only a thin, transparent line was hanging on the surface of the lake. Waves would rise from time to time, and the thin line floating on the lake would move with the wind.

There was no bait or even a hook on the thin line.

It doesn't look like it's capable of catching fish at all.

Inside the pavilion.

Thinking about her fate, Zhang Ling'er couldn't help but feel worried and sigh repeatedly. Her clear eyes were now shrouded in sorrow.

She had attempted suicide but was rescued in time. Then, somehow, the people from the Divine Realm found out and sent word that if she was not seen on her wedding day, the entire Sword God Palace would be buried with her.

Even the usually optimistic Zhang Ling'er couldn't help but feel worried at this moment.

Seeing Zhang Ling'er like this, Ye Mujiu felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.

"Thank you for still being there for me."

Zhang Ling'er was in a daze for a while, then gently held Ye Mujiu's smooth, delicate hand, the warm touch making her feel a little comforted.

"Actually, I haven't gotten over that hurdle yet, but I feel that if I hadn't come, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life," Ye Mujiu said.

That's the truth.

That mental hurdle is real, but their years of relationship are also genuine.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye, and she has gradually lost contact with several of her childhood friends. Especially after the destruction of Zhongzhou, her already few friends have become even more scarce.

Even so, she still has two good friends: Zhang Ling'er and Wang Qing'er from the Wang Family Martial Arts School.

She was very fortunate.

I have two friends.

That's enough for a lifetime.

Zhang Ling'er grinned, revealing a bright smile, but tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Ye Mujiu, "I know you still have me in your heart, and that's enough."

Do you believe me?

After the two exchanged some intimate words typical of young women, Ye Mujiu suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Ling'er nodded subconsciously, "I believe you."

And it's unconditional trust.

Ye Mujiu said, "Since you trust me, you can't do anything foolish again. As for things you don't want to do, I'll find a way to solve them for you."

"you……"

Zhang Ling'er was about to ask if she had any ideas, but she suddenly realized something. Wu Ming's feelings for Ye Mujiu were already very obvious. Could it be that Xiao Jiu wanted to sacrifice herself to fulfill her own desires?

"no."

Zhang Ling'er immediately said with a stern face, "You can't do this for me..."

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Ye Mujiu chuckled, revealing a sly smile.

Seeing that smile, Zhang Ling'er knew that things weren't as she thought, and she finally felt relieved.

Most of the time, the two are very in sync.

"By the way, I heard that something happened to Qing'er not long ago. Was it serious?"

That was the most crucial moment for her breakthrough. If she had made the slightest mistake, she would have gone mad and fallen into an abyss.

Therefore, at that time, Zhang Ling'er's father, Zhang Tianjian, blocked all information from the outside world. He only learned about Wang Qing'er's accident during some casual conversations among his servants after his successful breakthrough.

However, those people refused to say what exactly happened, as if they had been given a strict order.

Clearly, she was very weak at that time. Zhang Tianjian was worried about her and afraid that she would be emotionally affected if she found out, so he hid it from her. As a result, she still knows nothing about it to this day.

Speaking of this, Ye Mujiu's eyes underwent a subtle change, with a fleeting look of sadness.

The perceptive Zhang Ling'er noticed it instantly.

He hurriedly said, "Has something happened at the Wang Family Martial Arts School? I want to go there, but my dad won't let me..."

Ye Mujiu sighed and said, "The head of the Wang Family Martial Arts School is dead, but fortunately Xi Tianqiu has returned to secular life. With someone to accompany her, I feel a little more at ease."

"Who did this?"

Zhang Ling'er stood up in a flash.

His face was filled with anger.
