Chapter 20 Chapter 20 I stole this myself.
After changing clothes, Mu Xi looked at herself in front of the bronze mirror. Han Yinfeng also came over and the two stood side by side.
Their clothes didn't look cheap, but they weren't overly exaggerated either. They really looked like a newlywed couple who were deeply in love and had the financial resources to travel.
Mu Xi thought of the modern term - honeymoon.
"We look like a good match, don't we?"
Mu Xi didn't say anything. Han Yinfeng asked again, as if he thought she didn't hear him.
"It was your subordinates who chose the clothes that elevated my temperament."
The clothes Mu Xi changed into were the old clothes she had dug out before going out this morning. Comparing the two, the person in the mirror really looked brand new.
"My wife is naturally pretty." Han Yinfeng said this with a hint of inexplicable complacency.
Mu Xi glanced at him, and Han Yinfeng looked over and asked her what was wrong.
So, after this sentence went around in Mu Xi's stomach for a while, he finally said it out loud -
"Your appearance is indeed a bit eye-catching. When you go out, you should keep a low profile. Like you did before, cover up a little."
She used a suggestive tone and did not force Han Yinfeng to do what she wanted.
Han Yinfeng smiled brightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, my lady."
He agreed readily, but Han Yinfeng seemed to have no intention of changing his appearance. Perhaps he had forgotten or for some other reason, but he kept wandering around in front of Mu Xi with his original stunning face.
They were invited into the house for dinner. Mu Xi noticed Han Yinfeng glancing at her from time to time, but she really didn't know what to say to him.
Come to think of it, she had traveled through time, so how could she expect a peaceful and stable life? Anyone who had traveled through time throughout history could have had the same background as an ordinary person.
After it got dark, there was a cool breeze when the window was opened. Mu Xi heard that it seemed quite lively outside and said that she wanted to go out for a walk.
Han Yinfeng hesitated for a moment and tried to persuade her, "Madam... I don't know if anyone who wants to harm you is chasing us. We'd better be careful."
Mu Xi nodded and said nothing more.
Han Yinfeng felt that she might be a little angry.
Compared to the women he had met since childhood, Mu Xi's temper was quite good. However, in this world, women were respected, and at this moment, as a mere man, he was forcing her personal wishes, even if it was under the guise of doing it for her own good. It was natural for him to get angry when something didn't go his way.
"My wife."
Han Yinfeng called her, and Mu Xi looked over. Han Yinfeng stared at her flatteringly and said, "It's just inconvenient for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Mu Xi nodded politely, but there was no obvious expression on her face. Han Yinfeng was not sure whether she had listened to him or not. She seemed to be perfunctory in her attitude towards him.
Since leaving Luan County, Han Yinfeng has been a little upset, even if he didn't show it too obviously.
"My lady, you can tell me anything that's on your mind or anything you want to say."
Mu Xi looked at him and nodded again.
She was a little bored. Without books and pens, and unable to go out after dinner, she didn't know what else to do.
Han Yinfeng offered to change her medicine.
Mu Xi felt her arm during this process and said, "It seems to be healed now."
She was about to say that she didn't need to continue bandaging, but she was still put on the bamboo board. Han Yinfeng said seriously and firmly: "Don't take it lightly."
Han Yinfeng realized belatedly that his tone was not right. He smiled at Mu Xi and said, "I heard from Madam Qin that you recover faster than others from your illness, but this kind of injury is different from the usual fever or cold. You must pay special attention to your care at this time, otherwise you may leave..."
Han Yinfeng glanced at Mu Xi and found that she didn't seem to be listening to him. He pursed his lips, suppressed his resentment, and still appeared to be flattering and submissive.
Gently putting down Mu Xi's arm, the other party finally looked up at him. Han Yinfeng said, "My lady, don't you have anything to ask me?"
Mu Xi blinked, thought for a moment, and then said, "Have you thought about it? Where should we go? To your house?"
Han Yinfeng was stunned for a moment and looked at Mu Xi in embarrassment.
Sadness leaves the pavilion, but naturally it cannot leave.
"What I said before wasn't entirely a lie. It wasn't easy for me to come to see my wife. Right now, things over there haven't been dealt with yet, so I'm afraid I can't go back for the time being."
Mu Xi nodded in understanding, but in Han Yinfeng's opinion, it was still perfunctory.
"Do you think I'm useless, my lady?"
Mu Xi looked at him, and Han Yinfeng saw it clearly. There was no scrutiny or contempt in her eyes, but rather some... sympathy?
"No." Mu Xi said, "I understand that it's not easy for you as a man to do this."
Although there were many doubts, Mu Xi still maintained her original judgment. The final destination of life was "death". Sudden death could be said to be the worst ending. If Han Yinfeng's ultimate goal was to take her life, this time was enough for him to kill her many times.
Han Yinfeng was stunned after hearing what she said, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he turned his face away.
Mu Xi didn't know why he looked a little excited. She wondered if her words didn't seem sincere enough, so she added, "I'm serious."
Han Yinfeng turned around and smiled at her, "My lady, since you care about me so much, everything I do is worth it."
If it was Ji Lian instead of himself sitting in front of her at this moment, it would truly be a beautiful marriage, Han Yinfeng thought sarcastically.
Mu Xi moved her lips, wanting to tell the truth again, but she felt that it might not be the right time.
They were risking everything to save her, and she was saying that now, as if she was eager to distance herself from them, trying to take advantage of them. She had to survive first.
"Tell me something I don't know." Mu Xi took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Han Yinfeng looked at Mu Xi, and after a long while he spoke softly, "What do you want to know, my lady?"
"For example... my mother and father?" After saying that, Mu Xi suddenly thought of something, "Is my name real?"
"As far as I know, yes." Han Yinfeng said, "The young master of Feiming Valley is called Mu Xi."
"Feiming Valley..." Mu Xi was silent for a moment, then asked him, "Did you and I really never see it when we were children?"
Han Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, thinking: Had Ji Lian met Mu Xi before the Mu family incident?
Previously, I thought they had never met, but I pieced it together based on the information collected by my subordinates, arranged according to time and major events, and there should be no chance for the two of them to meet.
"No."
Regardless of whether Ji Lian had met Mu Xi or not, he had never met her, as they first met five years ago.
"So why do you..." Mu Xi considered her words, "...value your promise so much?"
Mu Xi was still most curious about this question. It was true that the ancients valued their promises, but Mu Xi had never expected Han Yinfeng to be so loyal to his word. He was almost endangering his own life, wasn't he? He still protected her without hesitation...
Han Yinfeng curled the corners of his mouth downwards. He also wanted to ask Ji Lian this question.
In fact, up to now, many people, including him, think that Ji Lian's behavior is nothing more than a way to gain fame and win people's hearts.
Feiming Valley was destroyed overnight, and all the old people who stayed behind at that time entered Wuyue Tower and became Ji Lian's subordinates. Because he saved their lives, they obeyed Ji Lian's orders.
It was just a nice way of saying things to the outside world, that the young master couldn't bear to see his fiancée's family suffer, and was just taking advantage of the marriage contract to reap the benefits. Perhaps this statement was also a secret plan agreed upon by the Ji family behind closed doors.
Han Yinfeng suddenly thought that if Ji Lian really thought so, they were not actually enemies and could cooperate.
So why did Ji Lian go to such great lengths to catch up with her this time? Was it because those old friends had heard that Mu Xi was still alive, and he was being forced into this situation?
Ji Lian is difficult to deal with. He has had a smooth life since childhood and definitely doesn't want to be controlled by others. If someone takes the initiative to discuss with him about deceiving Mu Xi together, he probably won't agree.
And once he knew that Mu Xi was with him, even if there was no love between them, he would not give up his position as the husband of the young master of Feiming Valley in order to restrain those old people.
This was something I had snatched from myself, and I must not give it to anyone else.
Han Yinfeng thought that the only person he could trust in this world was himself.
"Didn't I say it before? I thought it was nothing, but when I learned that my wife was the one who saved my life five years ago, I knew it was God's will. She asked my wife to save me and let me find my wife."
Mu Xi was silent for a moment, then continued to raise doubts, "What is the purpose of those who want to kill me? How did you and them know that I was still alive?"
Han Yinfeng took a deep breath. He stared into Mu Xi's eyes and spoke softly, "I don't know how others knew about this. I... I haven't given up on searching for the Mu family members over the years. When I first heard that my wife was still alive, I was also shocked."
This is of course nonsense. The one who is searching for the old members of the Mu family is Ji Lian, who is good at winning people's hearts.
In Han Yinfeng's opinion, there are no subordinates in this world who can be absolutely trusted.
The Mu family suffered a disaster that day, and those who survived by chance also suffered a lot, so it is difficult for them to trust anyone again.
He didn't want it, nor did he need it. If a subordinate showed any signs of disloyalty, he would just kill him and replace him. This was how the martial arts world should be.
It was completely an accident that Han Yinfeng found Mu Xi. His luck was better than Ji Lian's... but also worse.
After being hit by the calamity of impermanence, only the heart-refining worm can save you.
The Heart Refining Bug did not fall into the hands of those criminals on the day when the Mu family was massacred, because when those people died at the hands of his mother, they did not hand over the Heart Refining Bug, but frankly said that they did not have it.
Its whereabouts are unknown. However, the other party handed over the Impermanence Tribulation, and later this thing was used on him.
The person sent out returned to Beiqu Pavilion and told them that on the day when the Mu family met with disaster, someone saw the Valley Master's personal attendant successfully escaping with a little girl.
As to whether he is the Young Valley Master, no one knows.
Because the Mu family suffered heavy losses that day and many people died, and Master Mu was holding a girl about seven or eight years old in her arms. Everyone said that was her daughter.
Ji Lian received the news later than Han Yinfeng.
