Chapter 24 Chapter 24 You are back.
Although Mingyu hated Kang Jie, he had to admit that although this man had countless shortcomings, he was not bad looking.
Of course, it's not as good as his master's, but it's pretty good.
Perhaps it was because he had won over many women with his superior conditions that he initially thought that winning over Mu Xi would be a piece of cake for him.
Unexpectedly, even at this point, Mu Xi could still control herself.
But Mingyu changed his mind and realized that even his master had failed, so it was natural for him to resist the temptation of a little Kang Jie.
He was shocked and his thoughts were racing.
It's not about whether it can be captured or by whom, but——
Since someone took the initiative to throw themselves at her, if it were someone else, whether male or female, even if it was just fake, passively accepting her wouldn't hurt her. But Mu Xi was obviously different from the others; she didn't seem to have much interest in good-looking men.
Mingyu thought that even if Mu Xi was forced to have something happen with this proactive man tonight and other people in the inn knew about it, no one would say anything wrong about her.
Mu Xi opened the window to get some fresh air. Previously, she had been covering her nose with a handkerchief.
Mingyu hesitantly stepped forward and asked her, "...Is this the drug that the young master left for my lady?"
"Yeah, he told me to keep it with me for self-defense." Mu Xi turned to look at him and commented, "It works very well. I only put a little bit under his nose and he fell down."
Of course.
Mingyu thought to himself, that was something that Doctor Bai had developed himself. But why didn't the master tell him that he had given this thing to Mu Xi before he left?
Had he forgotten? If they had to engage in combat, and he was completely defenseless against Mu Xi, and accidentally got hit by the drug Bai Yi had developed, he would have collapsed.
"How long will he sleep?" Mu Xi asked Ming Yu.
Mingyu thought for a moment and asked, "How much did Madam give him?"
Mu Xi curled up her fingers and made a small circle with her thumb and index finger. "Probably... this much."
Mingyu nodded slightly, "Well... then he should wake up at noon or in the afternoon tomorrow." But he won't feel very good after waking up.
When they were in Luan County, they had also used drugs on Mu Xi, but not this kind, but a more mild type of incense.
Even if he accidentally overdosed, Mu Xi would only feel a little dizzy when he woke up, and he wouldn't feel any discomfort for more than a day. Mu Xi nodded, yawned, and told Ming Yu that he was fine and to go back to sleep.
Mingyu turned to leave when Mu Xi called him back. Turning back, he heard her ask, "Has he ever been completely silent like this before when he did something? It's been five days."
It goes without saying who this "he" refers to.
Mingyu pondered for a moment and said, "With your status as a young master, you can't openly show up in the martial arts world and do things openly. You have many concerns. And you only trust yourself. If you don't want people to know your whereabouts, Yingzhang and I won't be able to find him."
"Only trusting himself?" Mu Xi raised an eyebrow. "It sounds like he doesn't even fully trust you."
"Yes." Mingyu thought for a moment, thinking it was too quick to answer. "But the Master's love for Madam is evident to all, and he naturally trusts her completely."
"Better than you and Ying Zhang?" Mu Xi asked him teasingly.
Mingyu subconsciously felt that this question might be a trap, but seeing Mu Xi's chatty eyes and expression, he thought he was worrying too much, as Mu Xi was always like this.
"Of course." Mingyu said, "If you didn't care about me and trust me, and put my safety first, why would you ask me to stay with my wife?"
He thought his words were flawless.
But what is not easy to tell is Mu Xi's attitude.
She didn't say anything and turned her face away. Her long eyelashes and bright eyes were eye-catching from the side, and she looked a little unpredictable when she was silent.
Soon, Mu Xi yawned again and smiled at Ming Yu, "Okay, go and rest."
Mingyu returned to her room. As usual at night, whenever Mu Xi didn't fall asleep, Mingyu would stay by the door or the wall and listen quietly to what she was saying.
He heard Mu Xi lie back on the bed not long after he came back and closed the door, and soon the room next door became completely quiet.
Mingyu took a deep breath, took a step back, paused, and turned around suddenly. As expected, he saw the two people he was most familiar with.
"Young Master!" Mingyu exclaimed in surprise, then glanced at Ying Zhang on the side and nodded slightly at him, who also nodded in response.
Han Yinfeng didn't waste any more time talking to him and asked, "Has she been staying in the inn these days?"
"Yes," Mingyu said, "I've been with Madam Mu the entire time. Madam Mu knows the seriousness of the situation, but she's also worried about being harassed by...others. Most of the time, she doesn't even step out of her room, and she's never left the inn."
Han Yinfeng had a stern expression, lowered his head slightly in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Mingyu and Yingzhang exchanged glances. At this moment, they both felt very complicated, not to mention the parties involved.
"Sir, she really seems to know nothing." Mingyu said, "She just asked me about you. Before you left, you told her that she would be back in five days at the least, and seven at the most. If she has other people to contact or other plans to make, she should be as anxious as an ant on the hot pot by now."
Han Yinfeng didn't say anything. Ying Zhang's eyes drifted away, and he whispered to Mingyu, "The young master and I just heard it."
Mingyu pursed her lips. Han Yinfeng walked to the window, paused for a moment, and jumped out of the window silently without saying a word. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he left, everyone else in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Mingyu asked Yingzhang, "What's going on? Why did you come back so late? Are things not going well?"
According to the original plan, they should have returned at least two days in advance, but they returned only now, which obviously meant that they were delayed by someone or something.
Ying Zhang sighed, "Don't mention it. The young master of the Ji family was very cunning. He almost discovered our tracks. We originally wanted to lead him away, but unexpectedly, we led him in the right direction. It took some time to get rid of him."
Mingyu frowned and said gloomily, "It seems that his ability to become the master of Wuyue Tower is not entirely due to the favor of his mother and father."
"He does have some ability." Ying Zhang nodded, agreeing with this evaluation.
Mingyu also sighed: "This Madam Mu really doesn't know anything. What should the young master do next? Where do you think the Heart Refining Bug is hiding?"
Ying Zhang curled his lips and said, "No one has ever seen it. It may not even exist."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mingyu scolded him softly, "If it really doesn't exist, then your life will be in danger, and there will be no way to save it."
Ying Zhang looked at Ming Yu with a helpless expression. "It's no use talking nonsense. The reality is that no one can do anything about it." He sighed deeply, looking extremely negative. "Do you remember? Back in Luan County, the young master tried to kill a wild cat but missed."
Mingyu certainly remembered that it was the first time Han Yinfeng felt the profound impact of the Impermanence Tribulation. Before that, although he didn't say it, Mingyu always felt that Han Yinfeng didn't really take the Impermanence Tribulation seriously.
However, when it comes to things that endanger your life, it is better to believe they exist than not to believe they do not exist.
After meeting Mu Xi, none of the three of them thought that this matter would be so difficult to resolve. After all, Feiming Valley was gone, and how much trouble could an orphan girl cause?
Mingyu realizes that they were once the Kangjie they are now.
Later, when Mu Xi was away, the two of them practiced with Han Yinfeng and proved that the missed shot was just an accident.
"...It's not a surprise. The young master's skills have declined significantly this time. He vomited blood after just using a few simple moves!" Ying Zhang's tone was exaggerated, and Mingyu's heart was also tightened.
"How could it be..." So fast...
"Of course not," Ying Zhang said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd be just as incredulous as you are, and would think it was alarmist."
Ying Zhang would not tell him such an unnecessary lie. Mingyu looked at the open window in silence.
The moon is high in the sky. Some people sleep peacefully, while others cannot sleep all night.
Mu Xi had a dreamless night and felt refreshed when she woke up. After washing up, she went out leisurely.
Ever since Kang Jie showed up, his presence had been quite noticeable for a few days. Last night, when Mingyu told her that Kang Jie would sleep until noon or later, Mu Xi had already decided to sit outside for breakfast.
When passing by Mingyu's room, Mu Xi saw that the door was closed, so she didn't disturb him.
Shi Shiran ordered something and found a seat by the window.
The air in the early morning was so nice. Mu Xi took several deep breaths and her mood improved a lot.
It was undeniable that she was a little worried about Han Yinfeng's situation. But then she thought about how he was at least a martial artist, unlike her who didn't know any martial arts at all, and how he had been so confident before leaving, so he should be fine.
Mu Xi felt that the original owner was skilled in Kung Fu. According to Han Yinfeng, Feiming Valley also had a certain status in the martial arts world ten years ago, and the original owner was the young master of the valley.
Since she is being trained as the Young Valley Master, and she is undoubtedly the Young Valley Master, it is natural that she will be allowed to practice martial arts from a young age.
Now that I think about it, the original owner's identity had been foreshadowed long ago. For example, in the accident where her arm was injured, she was obviously not close to Han Yinfeng, but she was able to save him in an instant. I think it was because the original owner knew kung fu.
This logic was not the first time that Mu Xi thought of it today. When she first thought of it, she was still thinking that Han Yinfeng had deceived her, which caused her to be injured and had difficulty moving.
A little bit angry.
But then he thought, even if he knew Han Yinfeng's identity in advance, there were more than just the two of them present. To avoid any more trouble, Mu Xi would rather Han Yinfeng pretend that he didn't know martial arts.
She must have been injured, but she recovered quickly anyway.
Mu Xi's injury was no longer serious. She lowered her head and picked up a tea egg to peel it, when a white jade hand suddenly appeared before her.
"Let me do it."
Mu Xi smiled and said, "You're back."
