Chapter 140 Child Bride

Sister Qingxi?!

Cui Huailang suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Why does he call Qingxi sister?

No, why should he?

Is he very familiar with Sister Qingxi?

Sister Qingxi obviously hates him.

"Are you imitating the way I address Sister Qingxi? Please, brother who appeared out of nowhere, Sister Qingxi and I are close friends who hit it off right away. We are soulmates and very good friends. That's why I can call her that."

"Although you and Sister Qingxi know each other, it's obvious that Sister Qingxi is not that familiar with you. Isn't it a bit presumptuous of you to call her that?"

The key point is that this person was not as frank as him when he called Qingxi sister. He said it in a light and slow way, and the unpleasant analogy was like the whispers between lovers.

Who are you trying to seduce?

And the look in his eyes was too unclear, much bolder than he appeared.

It is obvious that he must be Sister Qingxi's stubborn pursuer.

The smile in Mu Xianzhi's eyes did not fade. He rubbed the knuckles of his fists, and stared at Cui Huailang in front of him with his sharp eyes.

"A soulmate from the first sight? A soulmate?"

Although his voice was filled with laughter, it made people feel cold for no reason.

The cold mask made him look even more sinister, like a devil from hell.

If it were any other ordinary person, they would probably be intimidated by him, but Cui Huailang was obviously fearless.

He raised his head slightly, not wanting to show his power to be weaker than him. "Yes, it's me. Why are you asking me a question? What? Are you trying to intimidate me?"

"Do you really think you can scare me just by wearing a mask and pretending to be a hero? I'm not afraid of being scared!"

Cui Huailang felt that he was just pretending to be cool and deliberately wore a mask to save the damsel in distress?

She spoke to him in such a pretentious tone, it was hilarious. Even though he said he had only traveled through time for a year, he had watched a lot of TV dramas, so it was not like he hadn't seen this kind of scene before.

Although he is good at martial arts, he still has to abide by the law.

As I was speaking, I felt someone tugging at my sleeve.

Ling Qingyan pulled him hard and looked at him with an extremely complicated expression.

"What's wrong, Sister Qingxi?" Cui Huailang asked.

Ling Qingyan squeezed out a sound from her mouth: "Friendly reminder, say less, buddy, he is really powerful, we can't beat him."

Ling Qingyan winked at him.

She knew very well what Mu Xianzhi's methods were. Although he didn't know what made him pretend to be a good person, Ling Qingyan was not sure that he could always pretend to be a good person.

If he went crazy again, they would both be doomed.

She looked at Cui Huailang's face full of question marks.

This silly kid, I don’t know whether to say he is happy or stupid. He is protected too well. If it were just in Yizhou, with the Cui family and his connections and financial resources, he really wouldn’t have to worry about Mu Xianzhi.

But the key is that there are always people better than you, my friend. What's more, this guy is one of the male protagonists in this world. His cunning and means are not comparable to those of Cui Huailang, a modern young man who grew up under the red flag with her.

Cui Huailang and Ling Qingyan exchanged glances for a moment.

He was stunned for a moment at first, but he was not stupid, and coupled with the tacit understanding between him and the girl, he understood the look in her eyes.

He's not someone to be trifled with.

He turned his stiff neck towards Mu Xianzhi.

"Where did you make this mask? It's really well made, quite handsome, and you really have the demeanor of a hero." Cui Huailang's quick mind worked.

Although he didn't like this person in his heart, he had a brain. Sister Qingxi had reminded him that he couldn't just go ahead with it.

And no matter how powerful he is, Sister Qingxi doesn't like him.

She also reminded herself hehe.

He wants to use his wits to help Sister Qingxi get rid of this suitor.

Mu Xianzhi sneered when he heard Cui Huailang's words, which were as swift as a facial expression change.

Where did Your Highness get such a shameless friend?

He doesn't have any special abilities and seems a bit stupid compared to the previous ones.

but……

Mu Xianzhi watched the two people's little movements, clenched his fists, and his face suddenly turned cold.

He saw it, saw the little movements of His Highness and Cui Huailang. He was a martial artist, and they were not far away from each other, so even if His Highness intentionally spoke in a low voice, he could hear it clearly.

His Highness is very close to him. Cui Huailang was not lying. His Highness and he are not ordinary friends.

Your Highness really thinks he is very important.

Mu Xianzhi had only seen this kind of care from His Highness in Chen Mansheng, an orphan girl from Duke Chen's mansion.

Why?

Why can this Cui Huailang who suddenly appeared become a friend that His Highness cares about so much?

They've only known each other for a few days.

Mu Xianzhi frowned, staring at the girl and Cui Huailang getting along naturally and familiarly, and his heart tightened slightly.

Compared to those crazy people in the capital, this normal person makes him more panic.

Because he knew very clearly in his heart that he and those people in the capital had the same thing in their bones. They were not good people. Some of them pretended or snatched the love of His Highness.

But Her Highness suddenly wanted to withdraw and stay away from them.

Although Mu Xianzhi looked down on Cui Huailang, he had to admit that compared to them, he and Ling Qingyan were more of the same kind of people.

Frank and warm.

The sunlight hits the two of them, and no matter how you look at them, they make people jealous——

match.

Mu Xianzhi felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

His breathing was rapid, his fists were clenched tighter and tighter, veins on his arms bulged, the two of them were getting along too harmoniously, and the girl's request for him to be wary of her was almost suffocating him.

Mu Xianzhi pulled Ling Qingyan back to his side. He seemed to be overwhelmed by jealousy and couldn't wait for the girl to give him an answer. His tone was hurried:

"Don't I know you well?"

"You hit it off with him right away after only knowing him for a few days, so why can't you do the same with me?"

"We were obviously very good before."

"Can't I call you Sister Qingxi?"

Mu Xianzhi questioned Ling Qingyan one question at a time. Even though he was wearing a mask, Ling Qingyan could still feel the man's anger.

???

What stimulated him?

She didn't do anything.

Ling Qingyan had never seen Mu Xianzhi like this before. In the past, he had always been calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

Even when he was sick and crazy, he was smiling and did crazy things with a calm face.

She stood there, blinking, then smiled: "It's just a name, you can call me whatever you like."

"We are all friends, don't quarrel over a name."

"Don't fight, and don't attack unilaterally." Ling Qingyan glanced at him.

Mu Xianzhi still felt uncomfortable, as if his heart was covered by a wet handkerchief, stuffy and airless, but he had always been able to control his emotions easily. The anger he had just felt seemed to have disappeared, and he returned to his calm state.

"Don't worry, Sister Qingxi, how could I hurt someone you value so much—"

Mu Xianzhi gritted his teeth, and shot a knife-like look at Cui Huailang, saying in a deep voice:

"A close friend."

Cui Huailang just watched as Qingxi was dragged to the masked man and asked a series of questions.

He found it funny.

So what if he's not easy to mess with?

It's still a broken defense.

Yes, it must be because he saw Sister Qingxi breaking down towards him like this.

You are overestimating yourself. How can this masked man compare to me?

He and Sister Qingxi were destined to be together. Fate made them meet in another world, and they relied on each other and walked forward side by side. How could ordinary people be compared with them?

"Miss!" Shen Chuo woke up, heard what happened, and immediately ran over with a sword in hand.

Someone put something in his wine, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen so easily with his alcohol tolerance. When he woke up, he heard that something had happened. He felt a chill in his heart at the time, but later he heard that it was Shang Yue who died and His Highness was fine. He felt relieved and immediately went out to find His Highness.

The guests were about to leave one after another. He saw His Highness and Cui Huailang across the crowd, but when his sight fell on the third person, he froze completely. The blood in his body froze at this moment, and the expression on his face almost collapsed.

Mu Xianzhi?!

Mu Xianzhi found His Highness! How could he have found Yizhou?

He finally managed to get His Highness away from this group of people and finally walked to His Highness's side.

It would have been fine if Cui Huailang had just appeared suddenly, but Mu Xianzhi also came over!

Chen Chuo felt a chill in his heart, but he hid his expression well, as if he didn't know that the masked man was Mu Xianzhi, and walked over anxiously.

"Miss, are you okay?" Shen Chuo asked worriedly.

When Mu Xianzhi saw Chen Chuo, he raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered: "Oh, it's you."

He did not forget the brother and sister from the Duke's Mansion, but both of them acted very well and portrayed the sadness vividly, so Mu Xianzhi did not spend much time on them.

Now it seems that it is true. He acted very well and hid it very well, especially the illegitimate son of the Duke's Mansion, Shen Chuo, who actually gave up his official position in the court and came to Yizhou.

This thought...

Mu Xianzhi curled his lips and smiled, looking at Chen Chuo. He had taught him for a while, but he had never noticed it at all.

"Do you know me?" Shen Chuo looked at him doubtfully, his expression just right.

"I don't know him." Mu Xianzhi said.

"So," Mu Xianzhi looked at Ling Qingyan, "Sister Qingxi, how about introducing everyone?"

Ling Qingyan couldn't accept Mu Xianzhi calling her "Sister Qingxi" for a while. After all, he was her teacher no matter what.

Ling Qingyan bravely introduced: "This is Cui Huailang, the second son of the Cui family, and a good friend I just met in Yizhou."

"This is Mr. Shen Chuo, also my friend."

"This is..." Ling Qingyan paused when introducing Mu Xianzhi, and looked at Mu Xianzhi hesitantly.

Mu Xianzhi took over Ling Qingyan's words:

"Mu Yan, sister Qingxi's adopted husband."

Several pairs of big eyes looked at him, including Ling Qingyan.

No, Mu Xianzhi is crazy.

What the hell is this?!

Chen Chuo was also quite disgusted.

No, do you still have any shame?

How can you be a role model like this?

It was simply too shameless. Shen Chuo knew that he was not a good person, but he never thought that Mu Xianzhi could be so shameless! !

Cui Huailang's brain froze for a moment.

"Is this true?" Cui Huailang took a deep breath and spoke.

It's not impossible. After all, Sister Qingxi traveled through time, and the original owner might have had a husband who raised her as a child.

If he was really Tong Yangfu, why was Sister Qingxi so afraid of him? What good fortune did he have later?

Ling Qingyan smiled speechlessly, "Fake!"

"Sister Qingxi, then who am I?" Mu Xianzhi looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"you……"

"Sister Qingxi, you can't just say you don't want me anymore because of something that happened in our family. You're the only person I care about in this world. Even though our parents are gone, we can still depend on each other. You're the most important person in my life. Are you saying that after knowing each other for over a decade, you're not as good as these two strangers I met later?"

"Or, because you met a new man, you're disgusted with me and want to kick me out?"

"Sister Qingxi, you can't be so cruel. I can't live without you."

Mu Xianzhi can fool everyone by pretending to be bright and cheerful, so at this moment, pretending to be a child adoptive husband who is about to be abandoned is also easy for him.

His tone was sincere and genuine, his eyes were touching, and even the trembling of fear seemed very real.

Ling Qingyan's head was buzzing.

If she didn't know the truth, she would have almost put herself in his shoes!

Cui Huailang, who was standing next to her, had obviously believed it. He coughed twice and said, "Even if you are Sister Qingxi's adopted husband and she doesn't want to acknowledge you, you can leave her and live on your own."

"You said you couldn't live without Sister Qingxi, but it was obvious from what I just saw that your martial arts skills are very high. With such high martial arts skills, you can still survive in the martial arts world even if you leave Sister Qingxi."

"There's nothing that can't be survived." Cui Huailang advised.

"What do you know, idiot?" Mu Xianzhi glanced at him coldly, then looked at Ling Qingyan with extremely gentle eyes, "My martial arts skills were trained by the master so that I could protect my sister Qingxi."

"I value Sister Qingxi's life more than my own. Besides, Sister Qingxi is innocent and kind. What if she gets cheated and bullied by someone with bad intentions? There are more than one disgusting scumbags like that merchant in this world. If I leave Sister Qingxi, I will be worried to death."

Ling Qingyan closed her eyes.

Help, why are you so addicted to acting?

He really takes advantage of the fact that he has changed his place and put on a mask to say whatever he wants, and he thinks that his identity is given by himself.

She was really about to laugh out loud. Okay, okay, role-playing, right?

He also called her Mu Yan.

Good name.

He just speaks without hesitation.

"I think even if you are really the young lady's child husband, the young lady doesn't need you to stay with her now. Mr. Mu should leave and part ways amicably with the young lady. The young lady doesn't need you now."

“Mr. Shen knows some martial arts and can protect the young lady’s safety.”

They are also protecting His Highness's safety. Aren't they the biggest danger to His Highness?

"If I were Master Shen, I wouldn't have said this and humiliated myself if I hadn't shown up in time when Sister Qingxi was in danger." Mu Xianzhi said coldly.

"That's because..."

"Who wants to listen to your reasons? If you can't protect someone, then you can't protect them. You're just a piece of shit." Mu Xianzhi sneered coldly, "When you make a mistake, you only know how to make excuses. I don't know what your teacher taught you."

Ling Qingyan glanced at Mu Xianzhi.

Did he forget that he had a student named Shen Chuo?

Shen Chuo's ears turned slightly red, his clenched fists suddenly loosened, and he lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Miss," Shen Chuo pursed his lips into a line, "I was just thinking about blocking the wine for Miss at the time. I thought I could hold my liquor well and didn't take precautions. I didn't expect someone to put something in the drink."

"It was my arrogance this time that put the young lady in danger. It was my fault that I failed to protect her."

Cui Huailang was watching from the side, his eyes rolling back and forth in a daze.

Oh, this person has turned into a scheming white lotus again!
