Chapter 5 I'm Laughing at You
"Father, although the evidence in the Mu Mansion incident almost completely points to him, there are still many suspicious things. I am afraid there is another hidden secret. I am sending people to investigate it in depth. Perhaps, the mastermind behind this is not necessarily him."
Ai Xiangshou looked at Ai Wanle's face and comforted him.
But he did not lie. He deeply loved the father in front of him who had taught him since he was a child.
If it was really Ai Fengdou who sent someone to do this, then even if it would cause a rift between him and his father, he would make Ai Fengdou pay the price! !
After hearing what Ai Xiangshou said, Ai Wanle smiled faintly and said firmly:
"I know him well. He would never be the mastermind behind this. If it is him, I will not interfere in how you want to deal with him."
When Ai Wanle's words reached his ears, Ai Xiangshou breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace.
A gentleman’s word is as good as gold.
Now that Ai Wanle had promised it himself, he felt relieved.
"Father, are there any contestants today who left a lasting impression on you?"
Ai Xiangshou quickly skipped over the heavy topic and casually changed the question to another direction.
I don’t know if it’s because he went from being a martial arts genius to a mediocre one, but the martial arts that he could once learn easily became difficult for him to learn for the rest of his life, and his progress was half the effort with twice the results, which led to him being full of regrets about martial arts.
The martial arts competition for the younger generation in Jiucai was founded by him and has continued to this day.
In Ai Wanle's words, watching a group of energetic children in high spirits on the arena always makes him reminisce about the time when he was still a genius.
Thinking of taking him with him, Ai Xiangshou felt a pang of heartache, as he felt sorry for his father.
After hearing this, Ai Wanle raised his eyebrows, stroked his beard, and said with a smile:
"You know what? This year's contestants are much more unique than in the past. And based on my years of observation, their abilities are probably far superior to those of the previous tournaments."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Ai Xiangshou did not look sad and asked out of pretended curiosity.

After Xu Ren'er and his group had packed up, Tang Qiuyue planned to slowly wander around the area and visit everyone, but unfortunately...
"You guys go shopping, I want to take a shower."
Tang Beiju declined without any hesitation, and the door was immediately closed with a "thump".
After a while, the rustling sound of falling clothes and the splashing sound of flowing water reached Tang Qiuyue's ears.
"Qiuyue, I'm so sorry.
Today's incident with the man in blue has me a little concerned. He's definitely not a good person. If I run into him in a martial arts competition, I'm afraid it will be a tough battle. I want to go back and read more books about poisonous insects to learn more about them and make sure I have enough knowledge to deal with them."
Mo Youli held the book in his hand, looked at Tang Qiuyue with an apologetic look, and gently refused.
"Sorry, Qiuyue, I want to read with Ali. Actually, I'm a little afraid of being cursed by the man in green, so I want to study some methods in the book and take preventive measures in advance."
After Mo Youli finished speaking, Xu Ren'er immediately took over the conversation, and the content was still a rejection.
In fact, Xu Ren'er's words only told part of the truth. She actually wanted to go out, but she couldn't speak in front of outsiders. Looking at a lot of new things, she couldn't ask questions without hesitation. If she wanted to buy something, she had to find a way to hint to Tang Qiuyue.
Strictly speaking, Xu Ren'er was a bit lazy. Thinking about the trouble of going out, he just gave up the idea.
After being rejected repeatedly, Tang Qiuyue had no choice but to wander around the streets alone.
"I give up. One by one, two by two, they have no desire to explore at all."
Tang Qiuyue muttered in a low voice with resentment.
She walked aimlessly, occasionally stopping to be attracted by some small things.
She discovered that in Jiucai, whether it was jewelry or children's toys, every corner would be carved with a colorful bird.
There are many kinds of birds, and each one is portrayed vividly and vividly, which is quite interesting.
Tang Qiuyue observed carefully, asked about the price from time to time, and nodded casually after hearing the price. She didn't show it on her face, but she was determined in her heart to just look and not buy.
It's so expensive, why don't you just grab it?!
The stall owner had been selling goods for a long time and had seen countless people. Seeing that Tang Qiuyue was picky but didn't buy anything, he immediately guessed what Tang Qiuyue was thinking.
He quietly glanced at the two conspicuous huge axes behind Tang Qiuyue, silently swallowed the words of chasing people away, and put on a flattering smile on his face.
"Miss, is there anything you like? These are all worthless and insignificant things. I don't think they will satisfy you.
Why don't you go to the street ahead? There's a place called Zhugelou that specializes in selling small things like mine. The jewelry and toys there are carved with techniques that are absolutely unique in our Jiucai Country. Why don't you go over there and take a look?"
Go and have a look! Don’t just stay here and look without buying anything. You’re hindering my business, the stall owner thought to himself.
If someone like Xu Ren'er had rich life experience, he would immediately be able to hear the stall owner's indirect way of trying to get rid of people;
If someone as knowledgeable as Mo Youli thought about it for a moment, he would be able to roughly guess what the stall owner was thinking.
The personalities of both of them will choose to leave according to the words.
But if it is someone like Tang Beiju who is indifferent to the outside world, he will either buy it directly regardless of the price, or he will not stay and will not give the boss a chance to speak.
However, the stall owner happened to meet Tang Qiuyue, a straightforward person who only understood superficial rhetoric, which made things difficult...
"No, I think the items you sell, boss, are very good. I'm very satisfied!" Tang Qiuyue said sincerely.
It's just a bit unaffordable.
Hearing this, the stall owner smiled awkwardly and cursed in his heart: If you are satisfied, just buy it, why are you standing here?!
“Puff!”
A faint laugh came from not far away. Tang Qiuyue had extraordinary hearing and her ears moved subconsciously.
Generally speaking, if there is a straightforward character among martial artists, the intuition of such a character is often very accurate, a kind of sharp intuition that comes from primitive beasts.
Tang Qiuyue was this type of person. Her intuition told her that in this noisy and bustling street, this inconspicuous laughter was directed at her.

After Mu Shuangyan killed Mu Renjia, took the silver, and burned down the Mu Mansion, she was in a daze.
She was very confused. Her revenge had been taken, and now she looked alive, but in fact she was dying.
In this short remaining life, she didn't know where to go, nor did she know what she still wanted to accomplish in her heart.
She just walked aimlessly. At this time, Ai Fengdou should have guessed that she was the murderer who attacked Mu Renjia and the Mu family.
That's right, she was the thread connecting Ai Fengdou and Mu Renjia. Mu Renjia is gone, and Ai Fengdou can't find her body. It's obvious who did it.
“Heh~”
Thinking of this, Mu Shuangyan couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Ai Fengdou should be furious and want to tear her into pieces.
She couldn't even live smoothly until the last second of this short life.
Wearing a veil to hide her face in the white gauze, and wearing a white dress embroidered with gold, she walked in a random direction.
"...no desire to explore..."
A pretty girl in red happened to walk past her, and her muttering flowed into her ears. Two huge axes that could not be ignored forced her to turn and give way to the person who happened to be standing next to her.
Desire to explore?
Hearing these three words, Mu Shuangyan's face froze and two tears flowed uncontrollably. She quickly wiped the tears from her face with her hands.
The desire to explore, this word that is full of expectations and yearning for life, she lost it a long time ago.
She couldn't help but look at the girl. Red represents freshness, brightness, passion and unrestrainedness. This vibrant color can probably only be worn so well by a girl who has lived in the sun for a long time.
Even though she has a stunning appearance and can wear all the clothes in the world to look beautiful, she cannot wear them to show this kind of vitality.
Mu Shuangyan involuntarily shifted her steps and followed Tang Qiuyue from a distance, neither too far nor too close.
Now the martial arts competition is approaching and people are coming and going. Because of this, Tang Qiuyue cannot notice that someone is following her.
Mu Shuangyan just watched Tang Qiuyue quietly from a distance, watching her curiously walk to each stall, observing each little gadget in her hands with shining eyes: masks, rattles, slingshots, and small sugar figures...
After Tang Qiuyue left, she bought all the physical objects that Tang Qiuyue had touched. She also bought the food that she wanted to taste but was reluctant to spend money on, and even bought two portions...
She lowered her head and savored a portion of each dish. A glimmer of light appeared in her lifeless eyes, but it faded away in an instant...
Following Tang Qiuyue all the way, she had more and more things on hand, and her originally ethereal temperament suddenly had a hint of worldly flavor.
She didn't want to go up and disturb the girl in red until she came to the jewelry stall.
When she found that the girl in red didn't understand what the stall owner said at all, and even praised the stall owner's items very sincerely, she finally couldn't help laughing.
It is a pure laughter that comes from the heart and has no meaning.

Tang Qiuyue said goodbye to the boss and left with the boss looking grateful for his favor, and walked straight towards Mu Shuangyan.
There was a little distance between her and Mu Shuangyan, but her steps were steady and as fast as the wind. Before Mu Shuangyan could react, she had already approached Mu Shuangyan's white veil.
"Are you laughing at me?"
Tang Qiuyue blinked her big eyes and asked seriously.
Mu Shuangyan was slightly stunned, and when she came to her senses, she felt a little amused and helpless.
This girl is really a bit stubborn. She is so far away and doesn't think about anything. She just runs straight towards me.
After coming back to her senses, Mu Shuangyan began to analyze in her mind.
The problem was actually easy to solve. There was a little distance between them. She just needed to look at her like a passerby who was suddenly interrupted, with a confused look on her face, and ask her: "What are you talking about? You suddenly appeared from a distance and asked me if I was laughing at you? I don't even know you."
She could also guess what would happen next. Based on her observation of the girl's personality, she would probably just doubt herself, then immediately apologize to her and then disappear in front of her.
There will be no intersection between them.
Thinking of this, Mu Shuangyan swallowed the lie that was about to come out and said with a smile:
"Yes, I am laughing at you."
