After resolving these matters, Zhou Mu felt relieved. As he watched Lin Yang's departing figure, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
For him, punishing evil and promoting good is his code of conduct in this world. If he cannot play this role, then his existence will be meaningless.
When Zhou Mu returned to Qingyun Peak, Lu Shan was already standing at the entrance. Upon seeing Zhou Mu, he quickly walked over and asked anxiously, "How did it go?"
Even though he knew the outcome, he still wanted to know for sure, just to feel more at ease.
Those people were far too evil, their sins were heinous, and they had taken the lives of thousands upon thousands of people. If they were not killed, it would be an outrage against heaven and earth.
Zhou Mu met his gaze, and under the latter's hopeful eyes, nodded slightly and said, "It's been resolved, don't worry."
Are they all dead?
"It would be an injustice if those people didn't die."
As Lu Shan spoke, he was infected by that emotion; his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill those beasts with his own hands.
Zhou Mu pursed his lips and remained silent.
"By the way, where's Xiao Jiu? I haven't seen her."
He felt a void in his heart, and only then did he realize that Ye Mujiu did not greet him with her usual bright smile.
This is somewhat unusual.
Lu Shan hesitated for a moment, and Zhou Mu's expression immediately turned cold. He frowned and looked at Lu Shan, saying, "You know my temperament. If anything happens to her, don't hide it from me."
In typical fantasy novels, every male protagonist has a "white moonlight" in his heart. Clearly, Zhou Mu's white moonlight is Ye Mujiu. If anything were to happen to Ye Mujiu, then Zhou Mu, who possesses power far exceeding that of this world, would become an extremely terrifying being.
Lu Shan was aware of the seriousness of the matter, and his heart tightened. He quickly said, "No...no, it's not that serious."
Seeing Zhou Mu's increasingly bright eyes, for some reason, he felt more and more guilty, and slowly lowered his head.
Finally, just as Zhou Mu was about to explode, he timidly raised his head and said, "But...but..."
"explain!"
"People from the Divine Realm have arrived."
"What does that have to do with Xiao Jiu?"
Lu Shan lowered his head and said softly, "The person who came is the young master of the Divine Realm. He... seems to have taken a liking to Ye Mujiu."
"hehe!"
Zhou Mu sneered, "They dare to touch even my people, they must be tired of living."
Knowing Zhou Mu's temperament, Lu Shan didn't say much at this moment. However, under the latter's increasingly intense gaze, he felt more and more guilty and lowered his head.
"Judging from this, it has something to do with you?" Zhou Mu said with a half-smile.
Originally, none of this had anything to do with Lu Shan, and he couldn't even make that connection. But this guy's behavior was so abnormal that he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"No, no." Upon hearing this, Lu Shan's expression froze, and he quickly shook his head in denial.
However, in Zhou Mu's eyes, this act was somewhat of a cover-up.
He chuckled coldly and said, "It's not too late to say it now."
Lu Shan said, "Actually, it's nothing..."
Seeing that Zhou Mu was getting annoyed by his behavior and was almost on the verge of a breakdown, he swallowed hard, lowered his head and said softly, "When I was having my fortune told at the Wentian Tower, I discovered that the thread of fate between you two has changed..."
"It's changed?"
Zhou Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Even though he didn't know what those words meant, seeing Lu Shan's attempt to cover up the truth, he could guess that it wasn't anything good.
As expected, Lu Shan lowered his head even further, and he stammered and became incoherent when he spoke.
"That means... you two are destined to be together but not to stay together."
"Why did it change?" Zhou Mu's tone grew increasingly harsh.
At this moment, he was almost bursting with rage, wishing he could smash everything in front of him with a single punch.
The gentle breeze carries a sense of regret; the regret is not that it was almost there, but that it was once possessed.
Lu Shan lowered his head, his voice even softer, "Because she encountered Wu Ming, the young master of the Divine Realm..."
"You mean, in the marriage proposal section of Wentian Tower, they are a couple?" Zhou Mu asked.
Lu Shan said, "You could say that..."
Zhou Mu frowned and said, "That's not right. The little girl was doing fine on Qingyun Peak, why would she go to the Sword God Hall? Didn't I say that I would take charge of Zhang Ling'er's matter? What is she doing causing trouble?"
Towards the end, his tone became somewhat helpless.
"etc……"
Zhou Mu's gaze suddenly focused on Lu Shan. "Logically speaking, this has nothing to do with you. You shouldn't be so guilty. Is there something you haven't told me?"
"Smart." Lu Shan couldn't help but exclaim, unaware that his performance was too obvious; anyone with eyes could see it.
"Actually... if I hadn't encouraged her, she wouldn't have gone."
"Instigate? What do you mean? Why did you instigate her to do that?" Zhou Mu asked, his face full of confusion, though his eyes still held a clear hint of anger.
"I……"
At this point, Lu Shan's voice was barely audible, "I... want to find an excuse to meet Zhang Ling'er. That girl is exactly my type."
He raised his head, as if he had suddenly gained courage. His somewhat timid eyes were now filled with light. "Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes, it's the kind where you see someone once and you've already decided where to bury them. For me, it was love at first sight."
A warm smile spread across his face.
"I like her. This is the first time I've liked someone in both my lives. Can you understand how I feel?"
Zhou Mu nodded, his expression softening somewhat. "I understand, but how do you plan to resolve my issues? You can't possibly let your happiness be built on my suffering, can you?"
He wasn't originally that angry, but Lu Shan's constant pausing between sentences was particularly disturbing, making him irritable without realizing it. Once he was irritable, he couldn't care less about anything else.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shan shook his head in distress. After racking his brains, he still couldn't come up with a good solution.
Seeing Lu Shan like this, Zhou Mu felt like a naive young man experiencing love for the first time, as if he saw his past self. This made it difficult for him to be harsh with Lu Shan, and his anger had also subsided considerably.
He believed that human will could overcome fate, and that human destiny could not be bound by fate.
Moreover, he and Xiao Jiu have had a relationship for so many years, and they are still childhood sweethearts. How could their relationship be changed by the so-called marriage line?
That's absolutely ridiculous.
Seeing that Zhou Mu seemed somewhat disbelieving, Lu Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I'm glad you think that way."
"Hmph, I haven't forgiven you yet. Tell me, how do you plan to make it up to me?" Zhou Mu snorted.
"Then I'll give you a stroke of good fortune for free, how about that? Pretty generous, right?" Lu Shan chuckled.
