ill intentions
"Then the princess was also killed by him?" Ye Jing'an asked again.
"It's not recorded in the notes." Liu Muzhe said.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so this story tells us not to easily trust a man who deliberately approaches you, most of them have bad intentions." Ye Jing'an closed his eyes and shook his head repeatedly, feeling sad for the princess. He opened his eyes and saw Liu Muze glaring at him with a cold face. Ye Jing'an thought of his ancestor who had deliberately met him at that time, so he explained with a smile, "Brother Liu, I'm not talking about you, hahahaha uh... Brother Liu is still a good person, it's me who has bad intentions."
"I'm glad you know." Liu Muzhe said.
Ye Jingan looked at the wood chip carefully and asked curiously about its function.
"The notes record that this piece of wood, after being stained with the resentment of the Wuxian people, became an extremely evil object that can break many spells and secret techniques. The pages with specific uses have been torn off, but keeping it with you will sooner or later become a disaster." Liu Muzhe said.
"What happened to the wizard in the end?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"He never found the sacred tree in the end and died in depression. He only recorded various information and evil spells about the Wubian Kingdom in a notebook and passed it on to future generations. The witchcraft I use is learned from him, and it is indeed cruel." Liu Muzhe raised his eyebrows when he thought of the witchcraft he used that day.
"Tsk, why don't you learn the good things but learn the bad things?!" Ye Jing'an said unhappily.
"Sometimes, to deal with bad guys, you have to use cruel methods." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.
Ye Jingan was secretly thankful that Brother Liu was his ancestor and not an enemy, otherwise he would have suffered a terrible fate if he had faced him. Ye Jingan suddenly remembered the wound on his chest and asked, "Did you go to see the wizard before you came to the underworld to pick me up?"
Liu Muzhe nodded.
"At that time you said that the wound on your chest was caused by yourself. Did you use his evil magic?" Ye Jing'an asked.
Liu Muzhe looked at Ye Jing'an with a gloomy face, feeling a little uneasy, wondering what appropriate reason he should find.
"Don't say anything, that's all!" Ye Jing'an slammed the table and said in an unhappy tone, "Didn't you promise not to hurt yourself?! Can you please stop being so cruel to yourself? If you don't feel bad for yourself, then I do! Every day..."
"Ah..." Liu Muzhe covered his chest and lay on the stone table.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ye Jing'an panicked and helped Liu Muzhe up.
"It hurts." Liu Muzhe said with a frown.
"Let me see." Ye Jing'an unbuttoned his shirt. The original wound had healed without even a scar. Ye Jing'an couldn't find the injured area, so he poked a random spot and asked Liu Muze, "Does it hurt here?"
"Yeah." Liu Muzhe nodded.
"Alright, now you can pretend to be in pain in front of me, and it's quite convincing! Your wound was on the left side, and I poked the right side, so why are you in pain!?" Ye Jing'an grabbed Liu Muze's face, "You still have the nerve to smile silently? Is it funny?"
"Not funny." Liu Muzhe laughed.
The fact that he was caught pretending to be in pain seemed to have tickled Liu Muzhe's funny bone, and he couldn't stop giggling. However, considering that Ye Jing'an was still staring at him, he covered his mouth and laughed, without any awareness of reflecting on his wrongdoing.
Ye Jing'an smiled and watched him, wondering how long his smile would last. Ye Jing'an had always believed that Grandmaster Liu Muze was only young in appearance, but inwardly he was a meticulous, careful, and thoughtful old demon. Now he discovered that this was not the case at all. His Grandmaster had ascended to heaven at the age of twenty-six and had maintained that state until now, so he had nothing to do with the word "old".
Instead, he relies on his immortal constitution to let his bad temper escalate. He may appear trustworthy, but words like shrewd, calculating, mature, and steady don't even apply to Liu Muze. This Liu guy never considers the consequences. He just does what he wants, and he does it! He doesn't care!
After slamming the gods in heaven, he went to the underworld to mess with the King of Hell. After being disciplined and returned to the human world, he idled around and robbed other monsters of their treasures to sell, leading a lawless life. There's nothing to fear from this Liu guy; bad habits need to be managed and cured!
What if he didn't keep an eye on her next time and she came back injured? She would either have to hide and endure the pain, or faint. Seeing her pitiful and aggrieved look curled up in his arms, Ye Jing'an felt distressed. If she couldn't come back, wouldn't it be even worse? He, Ye Jing'an, didn't have the ability to go to heaven or hell, so where would he go to rescue her?
"Sit still and listen carefully! No frivolous smiles allowed!" Ye Jing'an began to lecture seriously, stipulating this and that.
Liu Muzhe couldn't laugh anymore. He stared deeply at his constantly chattering mouth and sat there quietly listening to him.
Ye Jingan chanted the sutras, endlessly. While he was chanting, he would think about things that had happened in the past. When he got upset, he would curse at people. After cursing, he would continue to chant, and you couldn't help but listen. Ye Jingan watched him all the time, and when he was distracted, he would curse, forcing you to listen.
After a while, Liu Muzhe took out a few crystal clear green stones and a hemp rope from his pocket, and lowered his head to tie them up for fun.
"I'm talking to you! Can you hear me?!" Ye Jing'an knocked on the table.
"Does it look good?" Liu Muzhe held up the tied beads and waved them in front of Ye Jing'an.
"It looks good. What is this?" Ye Jing'an took it in his hand and touched it.
"Didn't you say these stones were beautiful when you went to the Dark Cloud Realm last time? I picked a few and brought them back, but I never had time to give them to you." Liu Muzhe handed him the tied stones.
"Brother Liu took my words to heart." Ye Jing'an felt warm inside. As long as Brother Liu didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine. He put the beads away and continued to talk about the rules he hadn't finished talking about before.
Liu Muzhe stared at him for a while, then took out a bunch of things and fiddled with them.
"Liu Muzhe! I'm talking to you seriously now, what's with your attitude?!" Ye Jing'an said unhappily.
"Don't call me by my name, I am your ancestor." Liu Muzhe said.
"Do you look like a great master? What great master would do things that hurt others and benefit himself all day long?" Ye Jing'an sneered.
"What kid takes care of his own ancestor? I do whatever I want." Liu Muzhe said unconvinced.
"Are you still being arrogant?" Ye Jing'an patted his face. "Remember what I just said. Try it next time! Do you hear me?!"
"Yeah." Liu Muzhe agreed verbally, but his eyes showed dissatisfaction.
"Don't act so arrogant in front of me, I'm going to take away the title of your ancestor!" Ye Jing'an said.
"Who wants to be the ancestor of your family? It's because Ye Yao forced me to do it! You can take it off, but I won't accept it." Liu Muzhe said.
"Hey, why did ancestor Ye Yao act so helpless that you agreed to it?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"That guy is simply a big thug. Knowing that I like Ye Chenyi, he deliberately threatened and disgusted me. He insisted that I become the ancestor of the Ye family. If I said no, he would hug me and kiss me. I didn't want to, so he chased me all over the street!" Liu Muzhe held his forehead.
"Damn, my ancestor is so powerful? He likes you too?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"No, he has a wife. He just likes to annoy me. I hid afterwards, but he knows a friend who's very good at fortune-telling. He always accurately predicts where I'm hiding. The last time he caught me, he even chewed a piece of raw garlic before kissing me. I couldn't afford to offend him, so I had to agree." Liu Muzhe sighed, "When you take over the Ye family, I won't be the ancestor anymore."
"Hahahaha, so Brother Liu falls for this. The role of the Grand Master is really not suitable for you. You look too old. You are more suitable to be my, Ye Jing'an's wife!" Ye Jing'an said with a strange laugh.
"Your skin is itchy again, isn't it?" Liu Muzhe poured sweet osmanthus wine into his mouth, "Stop teasing me!"
Ye Jingan choked on the wine and coughed a few times. He found that this wine was much more fragrant than the sweet-scented osmanthus wine bought at the mall, and it didn't make his throat astringent. He liked it very much and asked where he bought it.
"I brewed it myself. The last time I drank with Ye Chenyi, he said that the osmanthus wine there was the best. Later I went to learn the recipe." Liu Muzhe said with a faint smile, "Do you like it too? You two are really alike."
Ye Jingan felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart and asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu likes me because I look like him?"
Liu Muzhe was stunned. He had never thought deeply about his love for Ye Jingan. He had never even thought that he would fall in love with a junior.
"I'm sorry. I've always been very dull when it comes to feelings. I don't know what it's like to like you. I've always treated you like a child. I don't know when I fell in love with you." Liu Muze sighed, "I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for him."
Ye Jingan felt a little disappointed. Brother Liu's affection for him was probably more like that of an elder towards a younger person. Thinking about it carefully, it was ridiculous. It was true that people are always greedy. At first, he just wanted to be with him and make him happy, but after holding on to him tightly and keeping him by his side, he wanted more.
Ye Jingan said: "Brother Liu, I am the one who forced you. You have never wronged anyone. You have always firmly chosen him and waited for him. It is all my fault."
"Don't coax me. From the moment I fell in love with him, I can never repay him." Liu Muzhe frowned.
"Love is inherently complicated. We often can't choose or control who we fall in love with. Your love for me is the love of a junior for a junior. I just want to spend some happy time with you. It was all my fault before. I shouldn't have pushed Brother Liu. You don't have to choose between the two of us. You have never wronged anyone, and you don't owe Ye Chenyi anything." Ye Jing'an hugged him tightly, "Brother Liu, the only person you feel sorry for is yourself. Stop torturing yourself, okay?"
Liu Muzhe remained silent.
"Did you hear that?" Ye Jing'an raised his shoulders and looked at him.
Liu Muzhe closed his eyes and nodded woodenly.
"I didn't make it clear before. I want to stay with Brother Liu, but as a family. Ye Chenyi is your lover. Since we look so similar, don't get us confused!" Ye Jingan said.
"Hmm?" Liu Muze raised an eyebrow, "Can you still deceive yourself like this?"
"Of course, who says that liking someone means you have to be in love? And who says that holding hands and hugging can only mean being in love?" Ye Jingan took his hand as a matter of course, "My dad and grandpa often hold my hand."
Liu Muze raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you kiss me?"
