Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Mu Yang stared blankly at the gate of the Cheng family...
Mu Yang stared blankly at the door of the Cheng family. He saw Li Yian smiling at the air and blushing with her head down. He could almost guess what Cheng Qiu was saying to her at this moment.
His chest felt a little stuffy, and he raised his hand to pound his chest, but it didn't relieve the pain.
Qi Yang folded his arms and raised his chin to look at Li Yian in front of him. He then looked at Mu Yang, who was sullen and staring at Li Yian. He said with some understanding, "Do you feel a little stuffy and a little sore in your chest?"
Mu Yang heard a voice nearby and turned to see Qi Yang. He nodded and replied somewhat depressedly, "Maybe it's because of what happened at home recently. I was too worried about that demon, so I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. But, how did you know?"
Seeing Mu Yang acting like a naive child, Qi Yang approached him with some ill intentions and said, "Of course I know, but I have a way to help you relieve your chest tightness."
Mu Yang was stunned. "What method? Is it to boil astragalus, codonopsis, angelica, whole trichosanthes root, ophiopogon, and lily together?"
"...Of course not!" Qi Yang pointed at Li Yian who was not far away and said to Mu Yang, "Does your chest feel tighter the more you look at Li Yian?"
“Yes, but…”
"That's right!" Qi Yang interrupted him hurriedly, "It proves that you feel guilty towards her. You have now deprived her of her lifelong happiness, you know that, right? I won't tell you what your servant did to her, but you also know that she hates you. She ran away to the martial arts academy to avoid you. Now she's no different from a man, and seems to be more interested in women..."
Mu Yang was shocked. "W-what?"
His exclamation attracted the attention of Li Yian who was not far ahead. When Li Yian said goodbye to Cheng Qiu and was about to leave, he saw Qi Yang covering Mu Yang's mouth tightly behind the bushes and dragging Mu Yang to a corner.
As Mu Yang struggled, trying to pry Qi Yang's hand away from covering his mouth, Li Yian walked up to them and looked at them suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Mu Yang's fair face flushed red, and he tried harder to pry Qi Yang's hands apart. Qi Yang finally let go of his hands. He staggered back a few steps, and hurriedly turned sideways, not daring to look at Li Yian.
Qi Yang pretended to be calm and laughed dryly, "Nothing, just chatting with Mu Yang about some manly matters."
After hearing this, Li Yian frowned, glanced at the strong, tall and mighty Qi Yang, then glanced at the tall, thin and frail Mu Yang, and coughed dryly, "Please continue, don't worry about me."
As she turned around and continued walking forward, she couldn't help but look back at them. She saw Mu Yang biting his lower lip and waving his hands repeatedly, while Qi Yang put his arm around his shoulders and whispered something.
Li Yian frowned suspiciously. When did Qi Yang and Mu Yang become so close?
As Li Yian walked away, Qi Yang frowned, put his hands on his hips, and said to Mu Yang in a rough voice, "This is the only way to relieve your chest tightness!"
Mu Yang frowned sadly, feeling a dull pain in his chest. He lowered his eyes and murmured, "So my cousin is afraid of men because she hates me so much. Now she likes women..."
Qi Yang snorted, "Don't tell anyone about this. Anyway, either stay away from her and see if she can straighten herself out, or you can compensate her and help her find a better partner. Anyway, if she lives a good life, your chest tightness will be relieved, understand?"
Mu Yang raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yang. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it. He lowered his head and said sullenly, "Okay."
Seeing Mu Yang's distraught look, Qi Yang crossed his arms and thought to himself, "Isn't this a bit too much? But it's only right to help Li Yian get revenge."
He winked at Mu Yang again and said, "Okay, it's up to you." Qi Yang didn't wait for Mu Yang's response. He looked at Li Yian who was walking away and hurriedly ran up to him. "Li Yian, wait a minute, I'll take you there!"
Since today is the day that Li Yian goes to the palace, and because Cheng Qiu said that there are evil spirits living in the woods behind the theological society, the high priest is busy organizing students to encircle and suppress the evil spirits, and cannot accompany Li Yian to the palace.
So, Li Yian had to go alone. She returned to the Mu family, packed her luggage, and told the Mu family's master and mistress that she was going to the palace to serve as a trainee warrior. Then she left in a carriage.
Qi Yang and the Mu family's head father and mistress stood at the door of the Mu family and watched her leave. She nodded to them and got back into the car.
This was Li Yian's first time leaving the Mu family and traveling to another place. She leaned against the carriage, pulled aside the curtains, and watched the trees beside the road recede. She felt incredibly excited; her new life was about to begin.
The country where Li Yian lives is called "Yao Kingdom", which is named after the last character "Yao" of the name of the goddess Feng Yao.
The novel does not describe much about the royal palace. It only briefly mentions that the king of Yao is a relatively mediocre king who has always relied on the decisions of the high priest to govern the country. On the surface, it is the royal power that rules the country, but in fact it is the theological society that really rules the country.
Therefore, when the High Priest arranged for the third prince Li Xuan to guard Muyang, the king did not object and always maintained a supportive attitude.
Li Yian took a carriage for half a day and arrived at the gate of the palace. She took out the letter of introduction written by the high priest and handed it to the guard. While waiting for the guard to report the news, she looked around at the scenery of the palace.
Although these palaces were magnificent, they weren't as large as she had imagined. If she had to find a mansion to compare them to, the area of the palace was only slightly five times that of Cheng Qiu's residence.
The building is magnificent and majestic. The hall is surrounded by towering ancient trees, red walls and green tiles. It is strictly guarded by soldiers. The atmosphere is solemn and gives people great psychological pressure.
Soon, the guard who came back with the news whispered a few words to the guard at the gate, and then respectfully welcomed Li Yian in.
Li Yian was nervous and kept adjusting his breathing to appear more natural.
A few days ago, the High Priest received a letter from the Second Prince, saying that something strange had happened in the palace recently. When the princess went to the back garden to feed the white cranes, she saw with her own eyes that a white crane turned into a human with wings, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
So Li Yian was assigned to protect the princess and investigate Bai He's transformation into a human.
However, Li Yian had read novels and knew that the white crane was not evil, but a wandering immortal who simply liked to wander around, finding a place to rest when tired and leaving when rested. He never cared about the affairs of the human world. So Li Yian was not worried about the white crane.
She followed the guard A Lin to the palace hall calmly and steadily, but as soon as she opened the door, her calm expression suddenly broke.
"Li Xuan?"
