Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Li Yian frowned, but considered...
Li Yian frowned, but considering she still had a mission to complete, she had no choice but to ignore Mu Yin for now. The morning breeze was a bit chilly, and Mu Yin, who was always weak, shivered in the wind. She tidied up Mu Yin's scattered scarf and said calmly, "Go back and have a good rest."
After saying that, Li Yian was about to leave when Mu Yin suddenly stretched out his pale hand and grabbed Li Yian's sleeve. He slowly raised his pale, thin face and said weakly, "Sister, can you protect me?"
Mu Yin's voice was different from Mu Yang's soft and gentle one. His voice was slightly hoarse and gloomy.
His features were somewhat feminine, his complexion pale, and a small teardrop mole at the end of his eye made him look rather coquettish. His eyes, unlike Mu Yang's, were not as bright, but rather dull and lifeless. He had long suffered from poor health, constantly relying on medication to stay alive. He lacked the youthful energy that only youth could possess. Compared to the radiant Mu Yang, Mu Yin was a neglected figure in the Mu family.
At this moment, Li Yian was stunned when she heard Mu Yin's words. Mu Yin has always been a loner, and Li Yian did not expect Mu Yin to ask her like this.
Seeing that Li Yian was silent, Mu Yin lowered his head and murmured, "Is it not possible?"
Li Yian, who was originally in a hurry to leave, saw Mu Yin's strange behavior and couldn't help but wonder, "Mu Yin, what's wrong with you? Why do you need my protection?"
Although Li Yian appears to be a cold person, her tone can't help but become gentler when facing a weak and sick child like Mu Yin.
Mu Yin shook his head, lowered his head and ran away.
Li Yian looked at Mu Yin's receding figure with some uneasiness, but time was pressing and she needed to report the incident to the High Priest in a timely manner. She didn't think too much about it, but walked quickly towards the gate.
Many students had already arrived at the seminary early that morning, and the sounds of laughter and playfulness were endless. But this lively environment couldn't improve Li Yian's mood at all.
In the study of the Theological Society, Li Yian lowered his head in guilt. "It's my fault. I can't stop the evil from harming people. I can feel its evil power getting stronger. My sword can't hurt it at all. It's like stabbing at air."
An Si sat at his desk, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked gently, "Isn't Li Xuan able to detect the evil that's harming people?"
Li Yian was stunned. "The prince warrior is not responsible for guarding the Mu family at night."
"But doesn't he live near the Mu family? Isn't he helping you protect the Mu family?" An Si questioned, "With his abilities, it's impossible for him not to notice the evil killing. Unless the evil takes human form to conceal its evil aura, making it impossible to tell whether it's human or evil. As for the black shadow you saw, it's probably not the evil's true form, but one of its clones, so you can't hurt it."
An Si's words shocked Li Yian, "But, it was clearly severely injured by the prince's warriors two days ago. It's impossible for it to transform into a human form so quickly."
An Si lowered his eyes, his gentle voice carrying a hint of heaviness, "Perhaps the evil being injured by Li Xuan wasn't its true form."
Li Yian was so shocked by the High Priest's words that she was speechless for a long time. If the evil had already cultivated into a human form, then she would not be able to distinguish which one was the evil one. Anyone who approached Mu Yang might be the evil one. This was an extremely bad situation.
She suddenly realized why the High Priest in the novel arranged for Li Xuan and Mu Yang to study in other places, and why Xie Wu, unable to find Mu Yang, became enraged and slaughtered the entire Mu family in an attempt to force Mu Yang to come back.
"Yian, for the next period of time, please stay by Muyang's side and protect him. To ensure Muyang's safety, perhaps you should move out of the Mu family first. You can go to the palace to study for a while. I will write a letter to explain everything to the king."
An Si's words were exactly as they would be in a novel, arranging for Mu Yang to leave. She felt a little uncomfortable that the High Priest, whom she had always respected, would make such a choice. She asked, "Does the High Priest want to abandon the Mu family?"
According to the novel, no matter how powerful the evil, even if it had taken human form, Li Xuan could still kill one with a single strike. Why would the High Priest rather sacrifice over a hundred lives of the Mu family than allow Mu Yang to accept even a small threat?
An Si's eyes flickered slightly beneath his silver mask, his pale lips moved, and finally he just sighed softly, "Yi An."
Li Yian, dressed in black, had originally lowered his head with a look of respect, but now he raised his eyes and looked at An Si steadily, "I will stay in the Mu family. Mu Yang is well protected by the prince warriors. Although my power is weak, I still want to protect the Mu family."
After saying that, Li Yian bowed to An Si, turned around and left.
An Si looked at the black figure going away, his expression unreadable.
