Therefore, Zhou Mu dared not agree, but he also dared not disobey this ancestor's wishes. Otherwise, if this ancestor whispered something in his father's ear, he would be in big trouble.
After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "It's possible, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Don't even mention ten, I'd take a hundred or a thousand," Jiang Jinyu said with a smile.
At this point, a mischievous expression suddenly appeared on her face, and she raised an eyebrow, saying, "As long as it's not about me offering myself to you... Hmm, offering myself to you isn't out of the question either, I'll think about it."
Jiang Jinyu was joking, but Zhou Mu was not happy at all.
He knew exactly how doting father Jiang Jinyu was on his daughter. If these words reached his ears, even if he didn't die, he would probably be severely injured.
He chuckled awkwardly and subconsciously took a step back, saying, "Don't do that. I already have someone in my heart, and I'm not very resilient. If you scare me like that, you'll just have to kneel on the ground and beg me not to die."
"I was just joking." Jiang Jinyu chuckled.
"Don't joke like that again, my heart can't take it." Even though he knew it was a false alarm, Zhou Mu's heart was still pounding, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.
This feeling is fucking exciting.
"Who is she?" Jiang Jinyu's gaze fell on Su Xuan'er behind Zhou Mu, and then she teased, "This is her. Oh, you have good taste. She's a beauty in the making."
"No, don't talk nonsense, she's my friend's girlfriend."
Zhou Mu offered an explanation, but seeing Jiang Jinyu's disbelief, he gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
Jiang Jinyu nodded with some skepticism.
Zhou Mu took a deep breath, feeling quite helpless, but he had finally managed to appease this little devil.
Then he looked at Su Xuan'er, grinned and said, "Let's go, these two can't force you to do things you don't want to do anymore."
Su Xuan'er was overjoyed and moved to tears. She knelt down with a thud and sobbed, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, young lady! Thank you both for saving my life!"
This feeling is like walking through the gates of hell several times, only to find that after seemingly reaching a dead end, a new path opens up before you are finally saved.
All the anxiety and fear of the past few days, and all the grievances I've felt, have now turned into tears, flowing out in a torrent.
Zhou Mu couldn't stand seeing girls cry, and he tried to comfort her for a long time without success. Fortunately, Jiang Jinyu had some experience and after a few words of comfort, Su Xuan'er vented her grievances and stopped crying.
She looked at the pretty woman with a sob in her eyes, her nose red and swollen, like a little white rabbit who loves to cry.
"Pretty sister, you're so beautiful!" The little girl stared blankly at the beauty in front of her, gazing at the pure and flawless face so close to her, and was momentarily dazed.
So beautiful...
Oh, fairy sister...
"Hahaha... You're so cute too." With her chubby, delicate face, Jiang Jinyu couldn't resist reaching out and pinching it.
Several red marks appeared on her delicate skin instantly.
This broke Jiang Jinyu's heart, who loved beauty. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Does it hurt?"
Su Xuan'er shook her head and smiled, "Pretty sister, it doesn't hurt."
Watching the two girls so affectionately together, it was quite a sight to behold.
The friendship between girls is so interesting. Soon, the two became like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time. In the end, they even hugged each other and didn't want to separate.
Inn
Hearing the commotion outside, Su Yuan quickly got up and went out. Pushing open the door, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.
Approaching from behind the light, that person seemed to be the center of the entire world, breathtakingly beautiful, with a playful look in their eyes, like a fairy who had mistakenly wandered into the mortal realm, dressed in a simple blue robe, untouched by worldly dust.
Su Yuan was suddenly stunned.
The woman was already used to it and didn't find it abrupt. She turned to look at the person next to her and said, "Is this your brother?"
Su Xuan'er nodded, and upon seeing Su Yuan, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face as she called out, "Brother."
The next moment, she pounced on him, and Su Yuan instinctively pulled her into his arms. When he saw who was in his arms, a look of deep shock immediately appeared on his face.
Seemingly unable to believe that the person in front of him really existed, he rubbed his eyes several times. Only after confirming that the person in front of him was still there did Su Yuan's tears fall down.
“Xuan’er…”
Su Xuan'er's eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Brother, I'm back."
...
The news of Su Xuan'er's return quickly spread throughout the entire Tian Shu Prefecture.
The Prefect of Tianshu County was troubled by his daughter's situation when he heard about this matter, and his brows immediately furrowed.
With a cold face, he looked at the person who came to report and said, "Didn't that mountain stronghold claim to have a sage? How come they can't even control a half-grown boy?"
The servant didn't know the details of the matter, but after feeling the pressure from the prefect, he immediately knelt down and said, trembling, "I don't know."
"You..." Wu Yuan wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the past few days, but after thinking about it, he decided against it and waved his hand helplessly, "Step down..."
After the servants left, the steward of the prefectural governor's mansion walked over with a slight bow and stood beside Wu Yuan, saying softly, "Sir, there is a matter that I cannot decide on my own, and I may need your intervention."
"What is it?"
At this moment, Wu Yuan was already in a state of confusion, and upon hearing this, his tone became somewhat impatient.
"The miners over there have started a riot, and there are signs of an impending uprising. What do you think? Should we send in martial artists to suppress it?" the butler said cautiously.
Wu Yuan said coldly, "Send Lin Yun."
Upon hearing this name, the steward was visibly surprised, fearing he might have misheard. He hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Sir, are you referring to martial artist Lin Yun?"
Wu Yuan nodded.
The steward said with difficulty, "Sir, please think it over. Given Lin Yun's temperament, I'm afraid all the miners will die, and the situation will become increasingly difficult to control."
Wu Yuan sneered, tilting his head slightly to look at the steward, instantly displaying an aura of dominance. "Are you questioning me?"
The butler shuddered violently, his eyes widened, and he knelt down with a thud, his body trembling violently.
That aura terrified him; it chilled him to the bone and nearly killed him.
He finally understood how his exes had died.
"I'll take care of it right away."
He kowtowed several times, and only after Wu Yuan calmly hummed in agreement did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Without lingering, he quickly got up and left.
