Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Li Yian’s face couldn’t help but…

Li Yian's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, and she just nodded slightly at him.

Cheng Qiu smiled gently and stood there waiting for her. "The High Priest has anticipated your return and is already waiting for you in the study."

"Yeah." Even though he felt uncomfortable, he still walked forward.

When he reached Cheng Qiu's side, he held her wrist coldly, "Your hair..."

She was startled by his touch, and quickly realized that her hair was messed up by Qi Yang, so she quickly reached out to untie her hairband.

Her long hair fell like a waterfall, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

She held the hairband in her mouth and skillfully combed her hair with her hands, but Cheng Qiu held her hands down.

He lowered his head and gently combed her hair with his big hands.

“No, no need…”

She wanted to dodge, but Cheng Qiu tightened his grip on her wrist slightly until she stopped struggling. Then he let go and focused on helping her comb her hair.

Li Yian's face suddenly felt as hot as boiling water, and he dared not breathe.

This reaction made Cheng Qiu slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why do you react so strangely when you see me today?"

She was usually respectful and serious, and nothing seemed to stir her emotions. He had never seen her like this before.

"No," she retorted immediately.

But Cheng Qiu kept looking at her, with an unconcealable tenderness in the depths of his eyes.

His gaze was so strong that Li Yian felt at a loss as to what to do.

"A few days ago, Mu Yin was inexplicably possessed by an evil spirit and has been in a deep sleep for many days. Even the High Priest couldn't find the cause."

As if sensing Li Yian's increasingly stiff body and her tendency to run away at any time, Cheng Qiu started a conversation to divert her attention.

"Is it because of evil?" Li Yian was originally considering whether to leave first, but when he heard Cheng Qiu's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"I'm not sure, because he doesn't have any evil aura."

Li Yian felt a little uneasy and kept his head down without saying a word.

She searched her mind for all the information about the novel, but could not find any information about Mu Yin, and she didn't know what to do.

"I have a bad feeling about Mu Yin's health." He said softly.

He tied the headband around Li Yian's bun. Although he wasn't very skilled, he was very careful and did it very delicately. When he was done, he took a step back.

Li Yian, who always casually tied her hair into a high ponytail, was combed into a very feminine bun. A few strands of hair hung down on her forehead, making her look particularly fresh, natural, gentle and lovely.

Li Yian raised his head, "Because you're worried about him?"

"He seems to have a familiar and unpleasant aura that makes me feel." He frowned slightly, "Maybe it's my illusion."

What is that familiar yet unpleasant smell?

Li Yian didn't quite understand and was about to ask for details when Qi Yang waved at her from the front, "Li Yian, why are you still dawdling?"

Li Yian nodded in response quickly, and when he was about to leave, he heard Cheng Qiu sighing softly behind him.

But the rustling of leaves in the morning breeze drowned out his voice, and she could not hear what he said.

Li Yian didn't pay much attention and walked quickly towards Qi Yang.

In the carriage, the young man in white leaned against the carriage, tightly grasping the golden bracelet in his hand.

Although his complexion looked bad due to traveling for many days, his exquisite facial features still attracted people's attention.

Li Xia looked up at him repeatedly with a grim expression, but he seemed immersed in his own thoughts and never raised his head from beginning to end.

It was not until the horse neighed and the carriage stopped in front of two huge stone lions that the shaking of the carriage made him raise his head as if awakened from a dream.

Outside the carriage, Li Xuan held a sword, glanced at Mu Yang, said nothing, and got off the carriage first.

A group of palace maids and attendants led them before the king.

During the king's rewarding process, Mu Yang's face showed some expression, and he just bowed his head respectfully to accept the reward.

It was not until they came out of the King's Palace that Li Xia finally couldn't bear it anymore and chased after him. However, seeing his absent-minded look, she stomped her feet in anger and turned and ran away.

Mu Yang just stared blankly at the golden bracelet in his hand, as if talking to himself, or as if whispering to Li Xuan beside him.

"I refused to see her that night out of spite. She must have been mad at me..."

I originally thought that as usual, I would not get a response from Li Xuan.

But now I heard him say: "You should stop now."

Mu Yang was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes.

There was some impatience on Li Xuan's face. He was a person who rarely had emotional fluctuations and always took a nonchalant attitude.

However, some kind of bond caused him to be uncontrollably affected by Mu Yang's bad mood.

This made him feel a little bad these days.

"That golden circle, destroy it."

"Why would you create something like this? You can't squander your life."

"The whole world..."

"Leave it to me! I know!" Li Xuan's cold voice was like a sword piercing Mu Yang's heart. He interrupted Li Xuan excitedly.

Mu Yang lowered his head, as if all his strength had been drained away.

"I've heard enough, I've heard enough since I was a child... I just... don't want her to be in danger again..."

Li Xuan frowned, and veins appeared on the back of his hand where he was gripping the hilt.

"Whatever you want." Li Xuan said coldly, turned and left.

Mu Yang raised his head and followed Li Xuan's receding figure. After a moment, he lowered his head again, looking lonely.

Maybe Li Xuan is no longer willing to protect him.

Mu Yang walked out of the palace, drove away in a carriage alone, and headed for the Theological Society.
