Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The next morning, Li Yian...
The early morning sunlight was golden, shining on the large garden of the Theological Society. The pink hibiscus petals were incomparably beautiful under the golden sunlight. A breeze blew, and the petals fell scattered by the wind.
Students from the Theological Society arrived one after another, and on the gravel road, students carrying school bags came and went.
Li Yian stood in the High Priest's study and respectfully reported to him what happened last night.
The High Priest sat at the table, boiling water for tea. His long, bony fingers gripped the handle of the teapot, pouring the clear tea into the cup. He then moved the cup towards Li Yian and said, "Drink some tea and talk slowly."
Li Yian paused, sat down at the table, picked up the teacup, blew on it several times, and then took a sip of tea. He continued, "After being injured by the prince's warriors, the evil disappeared. It has cultivated wisdom and is very cunning. It will appear again soon. Its target is not only Mu Yang, but also the entire Mu family."
The High Priest's face was somewhat solemn. He usually wore a gentle smile, but now he had restrained his smile. He gently put down the teapot and said softly, "Thank you and Li Xuan for continuing to guard Mu Yang. It's best if you stay with him. I saw Mu Yang going home alone yesterday. You were not with him. This is very dangerous."
Li Yian was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain to the High Priest that she had been following Mu Yang the entire time, but the High Priest didn't give her time to explain and continued, "I noticed that the back of your neck was injured. Are you okay?"
Li Yian touched the back of his neck. The wound was almost scabbed over. He nodded and said, "It's just a minor injury."
The High Priest stood up and approached Li Yian. He stretched out his pale hand and touched the back of Li Yian's neck. Li Yian could feel his warm hand touching the back of her neck, which made her feel uncomfortable all over. Her pretty face turned slightly red, but she didn't dare to avoid it.
The priest she respected truly cared about and loved his students. She knew that the priest was just checking her wound.
This also reminded her that when she was injured as a child, the priest examined her wounds and applied medicine to her gently, just like now.
However, as she grew older, her fighting power grew stronger, she was no longer easily injured, and her relationship with the High Priest became increasingly distant.
Sometimes when she saw the High Priest healing other children from a distance, she felt melancholy, but she also knew that she had grown up and was no longer suitable to stay with the High Priest.
After checking her wound, the High Priest breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "I'm glad you're okay. You did a great job this time." He smiled slightly and said, "You go back first and call Li Xuan over. I need to tell him something."
Li Yian quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the High Priest, "Yes."
Li Yian, who was far away, didn't know that the High Priest was looking at her from behind with a complicated expression, and murmured, "I'm a little worried about her..."
Recently, I have been worried about the Mu family. I always feel that this matter will not be so simple. Maybe I shouldn't let those children stay in the Mu family to accept that kind of test...
Deep within the Theological Society, gusts of wind rustled the dark trees, creating a rustling sound. Within the trees, pairs of green eyes emerged. A monster hidden within the woods stared intently at the Theological Society.
"Brother Muyang, Brother Muyang!" Yuan Han, with a chubby face, called out to Muyang, who had been in a daze, several times with an unhappy look on his face.
Mu Yang, who was plucking the strings of the zither and thinking about something, was awakened by Yuan Han's voice. He raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Han in confusion, "Yuan Han, what's wrong?"
Yuan Han frowned in dissatisfaction. "Brother Mu Yang hasn't been paying much attention to me recently. Is it because he has a new friend?" They used to be so close, going to and from school together, but lately Mu Yang always refuses to walk with him and rarely talks to him. Even when he talks to Mu Yang, Mu Yang doesn't pay much attention.
Mu Yang heard Yuan Han's complaint and explained with some guilt, "I'm busy with some things recently. I'm sorry."
But after Mu Yang finished explaining, he lowered his eyes again with a sense of loss. After a long while, he raised his head to look at the roof beams, then at the trees outside the window, and then at the eaves outside, as if he was looking for something.
Yuan Han was confused by his actions, "Brother Muyang, what are you looking for?"
Mu Yang's attention seemed to be occupied by something, and he didn't answer him. Suddenly, Mu Yang seemed to have discovered something, his eyes lit up a little, and he quickly stood up and ran outside.
Li Yian met Mu Yang on the way back to the martial arts academy. Mu Yang ran to her, panting and with a slightly red face.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road. Her face looked a little bad, and she was not willing to pay attention to him, so she walked forward quickly.
"Cousin!" Mu Yang hurriedly turned around and followed, saying anxiously, "I'm really sorry about what happened last night. My servants did something very cruel to you. I've already told them not to say anything bad about you. Also, you got injured trying to save me last night. I'm really sorry. I've caused you a lot of trouble..."
But Li Yian was very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Mu Yang had not yet finished his apology and could only stand there in disappointment.
"cousin······"
Li Yian sat on the eaves, watching Mu Yang leave in frustration. She muttered, "There's no need to apologize like this. It's just a superficial wound..."
After she was injured last night, he had been following her, looking sad and hesitant to speak. Even though the doctor said her wound was almost healed, he still bowed to her several times and apologized.
Li Yian ran away before he could bow three times. She couldn't stand his three bows, as if they were his last rites for her.
His servants had been scolding her for several years. She had been scolded since she was a child and was more or less used to it. She had never seen him apologize to her before, but now he looked extremely guilty, which really made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But no matter how much he apologized, she couldn't just smile and tell him it was okay. She didn't want to have anything to do with him anyway, so it was fine as long as they remained strangers. A villain who became involved with the protagonist would never have a good ending.
