Seeing this, Wang Xu knew better than to say anything more.
Just then, Chen Tai'a looked over and suddenly said, "I've known you for so many years, how come I've never heard you mention that you know Zhou Mu?"
Based on the timeline, they should naturally be strangers at this point.
It would be at least several decades before Zhou Mu and Wang Xu met. However, as fellow time travelers, Zhou Mu carried memories from his previous life, so they could naturally get to know each other much earlier.
Those who don't know that experience certainly wouldn't know how they met.
However, Wang Xu couldn't explain this too clearly.
So he gave a vague answer and got away with it.
...
Inside the main hall
Ye Mujiu leaned on Zhou Mu's shoulder, the little girl chattering away, while Zhou Mu listened with a gentle expression, occasionally chiming in with a few words, creating a warm atmosphere.
But as they were talking, Zhou Mu said something wrong that made the little girl angry. She puffed out her pink cheeks, clenched her little fist, and gave Zhou Mu a soft, playful punch. It looked like she didn't have any strength at all; it was just playful banter.
The soft slap made the latter beg for mercy, saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry, you're right."
"Good to know." The little girl raised her head proudly and said smugly.
Zhou Mu smiled wryly.
Then, his expression changed, as if he sensed something. His gaze fell on the closed door, and his brows furrowed.
Sensing something was amiss, Ye Mujiu asked softly, "Did I hurt you just now?"
Zhou Mu shook his head, looked at Ye Mujiu seriously, and said, "Xiao Jiu, there's something I need to discuss with you."
"Speak, while I'm in a good mood, I'll agree to whatever you say."
For some unknown reason, a blush quickly spread across Ye Mujiu's face, especially after those two sentences, which were particularly easy for people to misunderstand.
However, Zhou Mu had no such thoughts at the moment.
Even though he knew Ye Mujiu was intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation in that direction, he pretended to be confused and said, "Xiao Jiu, we may be separated for a while."
Ye Mujiu lowered her head.
She was a little shy.
She knew that after she said those words, the latter would seize the opportunity to make some "illegal" demands.
Many times, Zhou Mu wanted her to be on top while he enjoyed himself on the bottom, but she refused.
Bringing it up now is just to add a little fun to the relationship between couples.
Therefore, when Zhou Mu spoke, she nodded shyly, but the next moment, she realized something was wrong and quickly looked up, saying incredulously, "What did you just say?"
The blush on her face quickly faded.
His original complexion was quickly revealed.
"I said, we might have to separate for a while." Zhou Mu looked at Ye Mujiu's expression and felt a little uneasy, but he had no choice but to do so at this moment.
"Say it again?"
Even now, Ye Mujiu still finds it hard to believe what she is hearing.
"Let me explain carefully..."
"I won't listen." Tears streamed down Ye Mujiu's face. "Do you know what you're saying? You know..."
"I know, but..."
Zhou Mu absolutely could not reveal that Ye Mujiu was ill.
But at this moment, making up any excuse would seem too perfunctory.
For a moment, he was at a loss for words to explain.
...
Ye Mujiu is gone.
Zhou Mu had never felt that this hall was so empty and cold.
Can a house without family members still be called a home?
Seeing Zhou Mu lost in thought, Lu Shan sighed, walked to Zhou Mu's side, and said softly, "Xiao Jiu has already left. When you meet again, you will be together forever."
This attempt to comfort him not only failed to have any effect, but instead made Zhou Mu burst into tears.
Tears streamed down my face.
Out of control.
"This is like a romance drama plot. Why did we have to fight when we broke up? What if someone else takes advantage of the situation?"
At this moment, he was as lonely and helpless as a child who had lost his beloved toy and was abandoned in the adult world.
boom
Suddenly, a powerful surge of energy erupted within the main hall.
Lu Shan's expression tightened.
If it weren't for someone openly attacking Qingyun Peak?
But Zhou Mu, standing to the side, remained completely calm and composed, his face devoid of any emotion.
He didn't even glance at the sudden surge of energy, remaining staring blankly out the window with a sorrowful expression, as if only in this way could he feel some relief from the pain in his heart.
At this moment.
A tall, upright figure slowly emerged from the storm.
It was Zhang Tianjian, the head of the Sword God Temple.
Upon seeing Zhang Tianjian, Lu Shan visibly relaxed, and like a sycophant seeing his father-in-law, he rushed up to him, bowing and scraping.
"Palace Master Zhang, what brings you to Qingyun Peak? Did you come to see me...?"
Throughout his string of nonsense, Zhang Tianjian maintained a smile. After Lu Shan finished speaking, he patted Lu Shan on the shoulder with a smile and said, "The younger generation is truly formidable."
After that, he walked straight to Zhou Mu's side.
"Regardless, I want to thank you. Please feel free to name your conditions."
Only at this moment was the huge boulder that had been weighing on Zhang Tianjian's heart finally completely removed.
It's important to understand that dealing with a behemoth like the Divine Realm is practically a foregone conclusion; getting it to change would be incredibly difficult.
And Zhou Mu did just that.
Moreover, they even persuaded Chen Tai'a, the number one expert in the Great Qin Domain, to step forward.
These things were enough to make him pay close attention to this young man.
Zhou Mu said calmly, "It's nothing, I just did it on a whim, no need to thank me."
It's not that he's being modest, but rather that he really didn't make any effort. Even if he did, it was because he wanted to help Lu Shan, and had nothing to do with Zhang Tianjian.
The saying goes, "Receiving a reward without merit will make one restless and unable to eat or sleep."
Zhou Mu naturally refused to accept Zhang Tianjian's thanks.
But Zhang Tianjian didn't think so.
He smiled, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Mu. He glanced sideways at Zhou Mu's sharply defined profile.
"I heard that Mr. Chen took Miss Ye away and probably won't be back for a while. Why don't you and Ling'er try dating?"
Upon hearing this, both of their expressions changed.
"No!" Zhou Mu immediately rejected the idea, his spirits lifting instantly. "I only love Xiao Jiu in this life, and no one else can enter my heart."
"no!"
These words were spoken by Lu Shan. He was anxious and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Palace Master Zhang, as the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Ling'er and I are mutually in love; you can't just tear us apart like that."
