Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Returning to the Mu family, it officially begins...
The servants of the Mu family were chatting and laughing as they worked. Mu Yang came out of the house holding a guzheng, placed it on the stone table, and plucked the strings with his slender jade-like fingers. Beautiful music flowed from his fingertips.
The sound of the piano echoed in the beautiful garden in early autumn, and the Mu Mansion was peaceful under the setting sun.
Li Yian hopes that all the good things will remain the same. Even though she and Mu Yang are not compatible, she has deep feelings for the Mu family.
Li Yian still didn't know how to save herself and the Mu family. If the plot really turned against her and forced her to become the sinner who brought disaster to the world, she knew that perhaps Mu Yang could save her and the Mu family.
As the sky gradually darkened, Li Yian officially began the difficult journey of protecting Mu Yang. In the past, after school, she would return to her own courtyard to avoid any conflicts with Mu Yang. But now, after becoming Mu Yang's personal bodyguard, she could no longer stay in her own courtyard like a stay-at-home girl, but had to keep an eye on Mu Yang at all times.
But considering the special situation that she and Mu Yang had a conflict as soon as they met, she was determined not to appear in front of Mu Yang's supporters, so tree trunks, beams, roofs and other places became her hiding places.
She ate her dinner under a big tree in Muyang's yard. Li Yian held a bun in one hand and a pot of tea in the other, and sat on the tree trunk, eating while watching Muyang who was eating dinner in the hall.
When the bun wrapping paper she had just torn off was blown onto Mu Yang's porridge bowl by a strange gust of wind, Mu Yang paused, looked around, and immediately found Li Yian sitting on the tree trunk.
The shy Li Yian stared at Mu Yang for two seconds, his face flushed, and he turned around and jumped to the other side of the wall.
She heard the servants cursing and complaining about where the weird thing came from and why all kinds of branches, tiles, and waste paper were flying at Mu Yang all day long.
Li Yian felt guilty after hearing this, but fortunately, the servants did not discover Li Yian.
Because Mu Yang discovered where she was hiding, he looked at her from time to time while drinking porridge. Seeing her sitting cross-legged on the wall with a guilty and dejected look on her face, he couldn't help but smile.
Li Yian didn't know why he suddenly laughed while eating his porridge. She glared at him and looked away coldly.
But the bad luck didn't stop there. When she sat on the wall, munching on a watermelon, she never expected the juice from the watermelon to be blown onto Mu Yang's head. She also never expected that when she sat cross-legged on the roof, the tiles under her feet would suddenly loosen and fall, nearly hitting Mu Yang on the head.
The cheating plot master pops up all the time to show its existence and to sow discord between her and Mu Yang.
Even the usually serious Li Yian's expression gradually cracked after several strange coincidences, and she wanted to bang her head against the wall. In the end, she temporarily gave up sitting on the high ground and chose to stand, lean, or sit in a secluded place not far from Mu Yang.
It was not until Mu Yang finally finished his misfortune and had dinner, sent the servants away, and said he was going to take a bath and go to bed, that Li Yian came out from the hidden corner and jumped onto the beam in Mu Yang's room and lay down.
Li Yian lay on the roof beam and pondered life: Did the High Priest ask her to protect Mu Yang or to torture Mu Yang?
She is really embarrassed...
This was her first time in Mu Yang's room. It was huge, so big she could do ten backflips in it without turning. But the decor was simple, no expensive jewelry, no precious silk curtains, and no priceless rosewood furniture. His room consisted of an ordinary bed, an ordinary desk, a stool, and on the table, a brush, inkstone, and a guqin. But the room was spotless, and there was a faint, fresh scent of flowers.
The most valuable things in Mu Yang's room are probably the rows and rows of bookshelves. There are so many books piled on the bookshelves, like a small library. Moreover, the books are not new and have signs of being read. It can be seen that Mu Yang often reads those books.
She didn't expect that Mu Yang was such a book lover.
But think about it, how could the high priest who will dominate the world in the future not love to read? The high priest knows everything from astronomy to geography, which are just basic operations.
The novel also specifically states that Mu Yang is an extremely intelligent and talented person with an amazing memory and a photographic memory. He can finish reading a thick, profound and obscure ancient book in less than half a minute and even memorize it.
This kind of extraordinary learning ability is really enviable.
Li Yian was lost in thought for a while, but didn't hear any movement below. He quickly turned his head to look down and saw Mu Yang sitting at the table reading a book. He looked around from time to time, not knowing what he was looking for.
Mu Yang often borrowed books from the Theological Society's library. For example, the book he borrowed today was so profound that Li Yian couldn't understand it at all. It was also so thick and heavy that just two books in his bag nearly weighed Mu Yang down.
"what you do?"
Li Yian has never been a nosy person, but Mu Yang was looking for something while reading a profound and boring book. She couldn't understand what kind of weird habit this was?
It was said that Mu Yang had the ability to sense evil. Could it be that evil had appeared somewhere now? Thinking of this, Li Yian hurriedly sat up and looked around with a serious expression.
Mu Yang was stunned when he heard Li Yian's voice suddenly coming from the quiet room. He quickly raised his head to look at the beam and saw Li Yian, dressed in light blue casual clothes, lying on the beam.
Li Yian always wore a short black martial arts uniform with a high ponytail, looking both aloof and heroic. But now, dressed in a light blue dress with her long hair loose, she looked less aloof and more gentle.
Mu Yang smiled shyly when he saw Li Yian. His smile was beautiful. He whispered to himself, "So my cousin is on the roof."
Hearing Mu Yang's words, Li Yian stopped looking around, snorted, and turned away without looking at him.
She didn't want to be on the rooftop, but as a guardian, she had to stay close to him. Otherwise, if she wasn't careful, Mu Yang would be eaten by the evil one.
Mu Yang lowered his eyes, smiled, and after a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "I'm really happy that you agreed to protect me."
He thought Li Yian must hate him terribly, but he didn't expect that she would put aside their grudges to protect him.
"It's not about protecting you." Li Yian emphasized calmly, "It's about protecting the Mu family."
Mu Yang raised his eyes and looked at Li Yian, whose face was calm. His lips moved, but he finally lowered his eyes and said softly, "I am very grateful that my cousin is willing to protect the Mu family."
The two were silent for a while. Li Yian looked at the silent Mu Yang, coughed dryly, and said, "From now on, unless necessary, stay five meters away from me."
Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly took a few steps back, retreating to five meters away.
Because Mu Yang moved so quickly, Li Yian, seeing how well-behaved he was, crossed his arms and remained silent for a while before saying the second half of the sentence, "... This is good for both you and me."
Mu Yang was so understanding, Li Yian couldn't keep a cold face. She snorted awkwardly and said, "Go to bed early."
Even in the face of Li Yian's pretended indifference, Mu Yang just nodded and said gently, "Cousin, go to bed early too." After that, he walked obediently to the bed and lay down quietly to sleep.
Li Yian also lay down with his back to him and closed his eyes.
Just when Li Yian closed her eyes, Mu Yang, who had originally closed his eyes, opened his eyes and stared at her on the roof beam in a daze.
The candlelight in the house swayed in the breeze. They always had countless conflicts when they met, and now it was rare for them to have such a peaceful moment.
However, the two people in the room did not know that in the dark corridor, a pair of eyes were staring at them.
The man was covered in black energy and smiled evilly, "The reincarnation of God, the best vessel of darkness..."
