Chapter 17 Chapter 17 At sunset, the Theological Society also...
At sunset, the theological society ended its classes for the day, and the students left one after another.
Yuan Han packed up his books while looking at Mu Yang with a puzzled look on his face. Mu Yang hadn't been accompanying him home for the past two days, and he'd wanted to go with him, but Mu Yang had refused. Yuan Han was actually quite unhappy, wondering if Mu Yang had found another friend.
Now Mu Yang had packed up his books, but he hadn't left yet. He was looking around, as if he was waiting for someone. Yuan Han complained unhappily, "Brother Mu Yang, can't you just come with me?"
Mu Yang looked back at Yuan Han and smiled, "Yuan Han, you should go home first. I have something else to do."
Yuan Han's childish face wrinkled in displeasure, but he reluctantly left with his book in his arms.
Mu Yang waited in the empty school for a long time, scanning the surroundings. He checked the beams, corners, and under the tables, but he didn't see the two of them. Finally, he sighed slightly, picked up his schoolbag, and walked out of the school by himself.
The afterglow of sunset fell on the street, and the pedestrians were bustling on the road. Mu Yang struggled to carry the heavy schoolbag and walked with his head down towards the deserted alley. His appearance always attracted people to stop and look, so he usually did not walk among the crowd.
As he walked, he looked back from time to time and saw Li Xuan standing not far from him, and Li Yian standing further away from him. But when he stopped walking, the two people behind him also stopped.
Mu Yang wanted to say something several times, but in the end he said nothing.
Perhaps Li Xuan and Li Yian were unwilling to protect him in the first place, but the High Priest gave the order, so they obeyed the order unwillingly, and therefore did not treat him well.
Li Yian, who was following behind, felt very uncomfortable when she saw Mu Yang frequently looking back. She held the lunch box and wine that Mu Yang had given her at noon, and she was thinking over and over whether to go up to Mu Yang and thank him.
The osmanthus wine and the delicate and small flower cakes made by Mu Yang were so delicious that she and Qi Yang almost fought over the food.
It's a shame that Mu Yang doesn't become a chef with his cooking skills. As the male protagonist of a BL novel, Mu Yang has all the female skills: gentle, excellent cooking skills, kindness, holiness, and a beautiful face. No wonder even the stone-hearted Li Xuan likes him.
However, with her thin-skinned and face-conscious personality, she couldn't bring herself to say that she had eaten the wine and snacks Mu Yang had made. After hesitating for a long time, she quickened her pace to catch up with Mu Yang, stood in front of him, and said in a stern voice, "Give me the school bag."
As Mu Yang loved reading, he would borrow many thick ancient books from the library of the Theological Society almost every day. These ancient books were placed in a book bag, and Li Yian always saw that he had a hard time carrying them.
Mu Yang was stunned when he saw Li Yian, "Huh?"
Because Li Yian rarely took the initiative to talk to him, Li Yian's behavior surprised and flattered him. His hands lost strength for a moment, and the heavy school bag fell to the ground with a bang, splashing dust.
Li Yian took a step closer to him, bent down and picked up the school bag in his hand with one hand. It was as light as a feather. She simply put the bag on her shoulder, turned around and walked forward. After taking two steps, she turned back and said awkwardly, "The wine is delicious. Thank you."
Mu Yang saw Li Yian's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, and he couldn't help but smile happily. He nodded heavily, looking at Li Yian with bright eyes, "I'm glad you like it."
Li Yian hummed softly, ignoring Mu Yang's beautiful smile, and instead quickened his pace and walked forward. Having successfully expressed his gratitude, there was no need to get so close to Mu Yang, otherwise something bad might happen later.
Moreover, she has "fear of embarrassment" and when encountering embarrassing things, she doesn't know what to do or say.
But now, the atmosphere was a little awkward. She didn't want to stay here with Mu Yang anymore, and she didn't know what to say to him.
She thought that helping the pretty "girl" carry her luggage was just a piece of cake, but chatting with the pretty "girl" was her most troublesome and embarrassing thing.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly quickened her pace, but when she quickened her pace, Mu Yang, who was following behind her, also hurriedly quickened his pace, as if he wanted to walk next to her and walk side by side with her.
She heard Mu Yang's pleasant, soft voice beside her, "I am a man. I shouldn't let a woman help me carry my school bag, it's very heavy..."
Li Yian quickly stepped aside, unwilling to engage in a tug-of-war with Mu Yang in public, acting like a falsely polite relative giving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, pushing and refusing.
But Mu Yang had a serious expression on his face. He stretched out his hand towards her and said, "That's really heavy."
Li Yian originally felt awkward and uncomfortable because of his approach and random chatter, but after hearing his words, he easily weighed his school bag with one hand, glanced at Mu Yang's expression which had changed from serious to embarrassed, and couldn't help but sneered.
It seems that he still cares about what she said, "Don't act like a woman."
She said, "It's good that you're gentle. It doesn't matter if you're strong or not."
Although the author describes Mu Yang as a tearful, seemingly unmanly danmei shou, Mu Yang is actually a goddess full of universal love, with a very kind and sensitive heart, and is quite sentimental.
The fact that he loves to cry does not prevent him from becoming a powerful high priest in the future. Only a high priest with a kind heart can save the world from danger.
Because Li Yian rarely smiles and his expression is cold and blank, his smile now is like ice and snow melting.
Li Yian noticed that Mu Yang was staring at her in a daze, so she restrained her smile and snorted coldly.
Mu Yang quickly lowered his eyes, his face flushed, and he looked around at a loss.
Li Yian coughed dryly and thought to herself that the atmosphere had become weird again. She should just leave quickly. She was not good at chatting with others.
With that thought in mind, Li Yian turned and leaped onto the rooftop, breaking into a sprint. The books and lunch box she carried on her back offered no hindrance. Her training at the martial arts academy, where she'd carried hundreds of pounds of boulders for several kilometers, made this an easy task. She raced as fast as she could, leaving Mu Yang and Li Xuan behind him behind.
"My dear..." When Mu Yang was about to say something to Li Yian, Li Yian ran away. He stared blankly at the empty front and had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He hurriedly turned around and looked for Li Yian, but she was nowhere to be seen on the huge street.
"She ran away again..." Mu Yang murmured dejectedly. Li Yian was always elusive, and she would disappear before he could even say a few words to her.
Li Yian jumped into the Mu family's house from the back wall. Usually, few servants of the Mu family stayed here, and this was also the entrance she often used to return to the Mu family.
She placed Mu Yang's books, food box and other items on the stone table in Mu Yang's yard. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a dark shadow running out of Mu Yang's room from the corner of her eye.
Li Yian suddenly had a strong ominous premonition in his heart. He turned around abruptly, only to find that the shadow had disappeared.
Mu Yang's door was closed. Li Yian walked up to the door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.
The two doors swayed violently due to her force. Li Yian tightly gripped the sword hanging at his waist, his whole body tense, his eyes scanning Mu Yang's room one by one.
Rows of bookshelves, a desk filled with brushes, inkstones, a guzheng hanging on the wall, and an empty bed. Everything seemed normal inside. But Li Yian didn't dare let her guard down. She stepped inside and walked around Mu Yang's room, exploring every corner, but still found nothing unusual.
Li Yian frowned, unsure whether the evil had really left.
Ordinary evil spirits usually only appear at night. Their method of harming humans is to lure them by creating illusions. Now, the sun has not yet completely set, and the evil spirit dares to come out and act, which means that it has cultivated to a certain level.
If the evil spirit could cultivate a human form, it would no longer need to create illusions, but could directly absorb human essence, which would definitely bring great disaster to the Mu family.
Li Yian had just seen the evil that had already formed a shadow. If he did not interfere, the consequences would be disastrous.
There is no doubt that this evil is coming for Mu Yang. Killing Mu Yang and seizing his divine power will allow them to quickly cultivate and form, and destroy Mu Yang's divine power to purify the evil, so that they will no longer have to worry.
