It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that he is embarrassed to say it.
The boy noticed that someone was staring at him, and his eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and his ears turned a little red.
What was going on? Before she could continue to ask, why did his ears turn red?
Something is wrong, very wrong, Mu Nanyan thought to herself.
"You seem so anxious. If you have any difficulties, please tell us and we can help you." Mu Nanyan asked tentatively.
She was really curious because she had heard from her father that this number one scholar was a man of both talent and virtue, and he was steady in his work.
But from what we have just seen, he is not calm at all when faced with difficulties.
There was no other way, Pei Ruoxuan gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.
"Little Princess, I went out shopping today and met Miss Mu, um, the former Crown Princess."
Hearing this, Mu Nanyan showed a hint of interest and looked at him with a gossipy look.
When did Mu Qinglan know him? Did she miss something?
Pei Ruoxuan had no way of avoiding Mu Nanyan's vicious gaze and could only continue speaking.
He avoided her gaze and lowered his eyes. "She said hello to me and left."
"I just ran into her again and saw her leaving with the little beggar."
"I knew which direction she went, so I looked over, but I didn't see her come out."
"I wonder if Miss Mu is in danger?"
No wonder his ears turned red and he hesitated when asked questions. Was he afraid that others would misunderstand his relationship with Mu Qinglan?
I have to tell the truth about Mu Nanyan.
Ever since he parted with Mu Qinglan last time, Pei Ruoxuan always recalled that day and remembered the expression on her face very clearly.
He tried to control himself from thinking about what happened that day, but he couldn't.
Some people, even though you have only met them a few times, remain in your memory forever.
After that day, he became busy, but whenever he had free time, he couldn't help thinking of her.
He also knew that she would reject him, but if people could control their thoughts, they would not suffer.
He wanted to go out for a walk today, but he didn't expect to meet her.
The moment he saw her, his heart seemed to come alive, and all the waiting was worth it.
He wanted to follow her, but was afraid she would think he was a stalker.
As a last resort, he had to hold back and not look for her.
After she left, he walked alone on the street in a daze.
He was happy for a long time when he met her again and greeted her.
He was extremely anxious when he learned that she might be in danger.
When he was about to go alone to rescue her, he met the little princess.
So that's how it is. It seems that my guess was right. I had always felt that there was something wrong with that little beggar.
If she could have caught up with her at that time, perhaps what happened later would not have happened.
Mu Nanyan said calmly: "I just saw them not far away and wanted to call her, but she didn't hear me."
Mu Qinglan doesn't offend anyone in her daily life, so why would someone want to harm her?
Could it be her father's enemy?
In any case, we won't know until we find her.
"Since you know the direction she disappeared, why don't we look for her in that direction?" Mo Linyuan suggested.
So the three of them walked in opposite directions.
They walked for half a quarter of an hour, getting farther and farther away from the center of Kyoto, and the place became more and more remote.
This is where beggars gather. The houses are dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. Generally, few people come here.
If someone really wanted to harm her, this place would indeed be the best hiding place.
As soon as they stepped in here, they could feel countless eyes on them in the dark.
Those people hid in the dark, waiting for them to be alone, and then took action.
"Be careful, we are being targeted." Mu Nanyan said seriously.
They were dressed badly, which was out of place in the environment.
With so many houses, where is Mu Qinglan being held?
At this time, a child fell to the ground. He struggled for a while but still couldn't get up.
His thin shoulders shook slightly, he clenched his lips, and sobs escaped from his throat, as if he was about to cry at the next second.
Seeing that he was pitiful, Pei Ruoxuan was about to help him up, but was stopped by Mu Nanyan. "There's something wrong with this kid, be careful."
"This is impossible..." Pei Ruoxuan didn't quite believe it. Anyone who saw him would just think he was a skinny child.
As soon as he finished speaking, the child suddenly grew bigger, with a fierce look in his eyes, staring straight at Mu Nanyan.
It turns out that he has the ability to shrink bones, and he deliberately lured people into being deceived.
Whenever a kind-hearted person came up, he would take the opportunity to injure that person.
"I advise you to be sensible and hand over the money and property on you, and I will spare your life." The man took out a dagger from somewhere and slowly approached them.
Faced with the threat from the other side, they remained calm.
Mo Linyuan handed Mu Nanyue to Pei Ruoxuan. He drew his sword and quickly attacked the opponent. The opponent tried to block with a dagger, but was injured by his sword energy and the dagger fell to the ground.
The man had no time to dodge and was stabbed in the chest by Mo Linyuan's sword. Blood dripped down quickly.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Mo Linyuan pointed his sword at him and said coldly.
The man raised his head and smiled contemptuously, "Today I am inferior to you in skills and was stabbed by you. You can kill me or scratch me, it is all up to you."
Mo Linyuan looked around and the people in the dark seemed to be ready to make a move.
"Tell me, where are the two girls you tricked here today?" He thrust his sword forward another inch.
The man closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about the wounds on his body.
He thought that this way they couldn't do anything to him.
If he thinks so, he is wrong.
Because the person he met was Mu Nanyan.
