Chapter 9 Chapter 9 And the first time the three of them met was when he...

At this time, the three people stood facing each other in a triangle, each with a different expression.

Li Xuan has an icy face, Mu Yang has an anxious and uneasy face, and Li Yian is panicking inside but pretending to be calm on the surface.

Li Xuan's gaze shifted to Li Yian. He took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of her, saying calmly, "I've drafted a duty document. If you have no objection, we'll follow it."

Li Yian took the paper and looked at it, trying to ignore the nagging thought, "His handwriting is so beautiful!" She discovered that Li Xuan's proposed duty roster could be summarized as follows: On days when Mu Yang had classes, Li Xuan would protect him from school until he got home. Since Li Yian lived at the Mu family's house, she would be responsible for protecting the family and Mu Yang during the night.

On days when Mu Yang didn't have classes, it depended on the specific situation. If Mu Yang went out to play, Li Xuan would protect him, and if Mu Yang stayed at home, Li Yian would protect him.

There is an additional note later: Because it may be a bit difficult for Li Yian to guard the huge Mu family alone, Li Xuan will live near the Mu family to provide assistance.

Overall, the duty roster proposed by Li Xuan is quite appropriate. It can be seen that Li Xuan is an extremely responsible person. Moreover, the duty roster is in line with Li Yian's idea of staying in the Mu family to protect the Mu family.

Li Yian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would have to endure the discomfort to communicate the duty details with Li Xuan and Mu Yang, the two killers, but he didn't expect that Li Xuan had already made a reasonable plan.

It really saved her from social anxiety.

She straightened her face and said calmly, "I agree." Then she handed the duty roster to Mu Yang.

Mu Yang took the duty roster and carefully read the words on the paper. He then looked up at Li Xuan and Li Yian, who had expressionless faces. Finally, he nodded and said softly, "I agree too."

So, the three of them finalized the duty plan in a few minutes at the fastest speed, efficiently and decisively.

At this time, it was the afternoon class time, and this was the time for Li Xuan to protect Mu Yang, so Li Xuan would escort Mu Yang home.

Of course, since Li Yian was also heading back to the Mu family, a strange situation arose: Mu Yang laboriously walked in front, carrying his schoolbag, Li Xuan walked expressionlessly five meters behind Mu Yang, and Li Yian walked twenty meters behind Li Xuan. The further away from the two male protagonists in front, the more at ease Li Yian felt.

Mu Yang looked back at them from time to time, wanting to say something but hesitant, but in the end said nothing.

They returned to the Mu family in silence. Mu Yang bent down to thank Li Xuan, but Li Xuan was cold and indifferent. He didn't even see Mu Yang off. He turned around and left.

At this time, the servants of the Mu family heard that Mu Yang had returned, and they came up to greet him, helped Mu Yang get his books, and asked him all kinds of questions. Mu Yang responded patiently one by one with a gentle smile on his face.

Li Yian followed behind, hiding in the corner of the mansion to prevent the servants from discovering her following Mu Yang, otherwise she would be falsely accused of having bad intentions. She sighed slightly in her heart. It was really ironic that she was a warrior, but she could only hide from those weak supporters.

She couldn't scold them enough. She was not good at speaking and had a quiet personality. How could she resist the chatter and distortion of facts?

They couldn't hit her, for fear that if she did, they would lose their hands and feet, which would only cause trouble for the Mu family's master and mistress.

What's more, Mu Yang was indeed hurt whenever he met her. All the injuries, big and small, on his body since he was a child were caused by her. Although she never did it on purpose and it was all part of the plot, who could believe it?

The Mu family's master and mistress both worked in the palace, so they had to go there frequently and were rarely at home. But when they returned, a large number of servants came to complain to them.

But the Mu family's head father and head mother always believed in her, were always gentle and kind, and told her that they hoped she and Mu Yang could get along well.

For the sake of the Mu family's head father and head mother, Li Yian really didn't want to fall out with Mu Yang. He would just avoid him if possible. Apart from some occasional minor frictions, they had been living in peace for all these years.

She did not enter through the main gate, but climbed over the wall as usual. When she returned home, she immediately went to see the Mu family's master and mistress to learn about the two missing servants of the Mu family.

When the Mu family's master and mistress saw her, they smiled warmly and asked her to come in and sit down, made her some tea and let her eat the fruit plate.

Li Yian was pulled to sit at the table with some restraint. After being given two cups of tea, some candied fruits and a few bites of fruit cubes, she finally had the chance to ask about the two servants.

The face of the head of the Mu family became a little solemn. He knew that Li Yian was young, only about the same age as Mu Yang, but he knew that Li Yian had a steady personality, and he always regarded Li Yian as an adult with whom he could discuss things.

"Those two servants were drained of their vital energy by the evil spirit, becoming nothing more than skeletons. They're not actually missing; their bodies remain in the dry well in the backyard. I've had the well sealed and no one allowed to approach," the master said grimly. "The evil spirit might be hiding in the well right now, and those two servants were bewitched there."

Li Yian was startled, thinking to herself that it was indeed an evil being that was harming people, not just ordinary human traffickers. She asked anxiously, "Has this dry well ever had any strange incidents?"

The Mu family's mistress shook her head. "It was just an ordinary dry well before, nothing happened there. But I don't know why it attracted evil there."

This means that evil does not only exist in the dry well, but may exist in every corner of the Mu family!

Li Yian's face turned ugly when she thought of this. No wonder the Lord Father rushed to the palace to find the High Priest, and no wonder the High Priest arranged for Li Xuan and her to protect Mu Yang.

Mu Yang possessed divine blood, possessing the power to purify evil. Perhaps the evil was seeking to take advantage of Mu Yang's current weakness and destroy his divine power. He had absorbed the essence of his two servants solely for cultivation and to increase his power.

Thinking of the description in the novel about how the Mu family was harmed so tragically by evil, Li Yian felt so heavy-hearted that she couldn't even drink a sip of tea. She had no choice but to stand up, bow to the Mu family's head father and head mother, and turn to leave.
