Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Mu Yang's eyes brightened a little...
Mu Yang's eyes brightened a little, and he looked at her with some anticipation and caution, and spoke softly.
"You can say anything."
Li Yian remained silent, racking his brains but still couldn't find a topic to talk about.
After she applied medicine to the wound on Mu Yang's face, there was still a crackling sound outside the window. She didn't know whether it was the sound of the wind or the sound of branches hitting the window.
Her thin and fragile sword seemed unable to withstand the brute force from outside, and made a crackling sound.
She stood up and wanted to close the window, but realized that Mu Yang was still holding her arm tightly.
"Let me go first—" As she said this, Mu Yang's grip tightened. She could only helplessly explain, "I'll chat with you, but I have to go pack up my sword."
This sword is the sword given to her by the High Priest. It has been with her since she was a child and has special meaning to her. Don't let it be broken by the evil wind outside.
Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, his face flushed slightly, and he let go of his hand.
Li Yian went to close the window, put away his sword, and sat cross-legged opposite Mu Yang.
Silence, still silence...
She sat upright, her cold face furrowed in brows, feeling awkward. She didn't know what topic to start with, and didn't know what Mu Yang wanted to hear.
It was Mu Yang who broke the silence. "That night, my cousin's soul left her body. Where did it go? Does she still remember?"
The other party finally found a topic to talk about, which made Li Yian breathe a sigh of relief. She replied calmly, "I am trapped in an illusion. There is an evil god in it, also known as the Show Watcher. She is good at creating illusions. She seems to have some connection with the Demon God Youtian."
"Theater spectator..." Mu Yang muttered the name silently, thinking about the ancient books he had read before, but could not find any clues.
He secretly noted the name and asked, "Then how did my cousin break through the illusion?"
"She released me on her own initiative."
"Strange." Mu Yang frowned in confusion, "Why would they let you go all of a sudden?"
Li Yian recalled that night, when the audience watched Mu Yang in the illusion use his blood to purify the evil to save her, and said to her with some amusement:
[You don't follow the path of fate, which should have destroyed you, but Feng Yao seems to care about you too much. I am curious about the bond between you...]
The spectators had the power to imprison her and destroy her, but they seemed to let her go because of Mu Yang.
Li Yian had no idea what the evil spirit was up to, and the novel gave her very little detail.
Recalling the plot of the novel, it seemed that she appeared at the end of the novel, when Mu Yang killed the original owner Li Yian, snatched away the original owner's soul that had turned into flying smoke, and never appeared again.
The evil god who was supposed to appear at the end showed up early... This is not a good sign.
She originally wanted to tell Cheng Qiu about these things and let Cheng Qiu take the news back to the High Priest.
But after she stopped Mu Yang's blood sacrifice and killed the evil, Cheng Qiu had disappeared.
She felt that this matter was not urgent, and she was not very familiar with the two male protagonists, so she did not say anything to them. She just wanted to wait until she returned to the Theological Society to discuss it with An Si.
Now that Mu Yang asked her, she didn't hide it.
"I don't know, it seems to be related to you."
"It's related to me..." Mu Yang murmured.
"It seems that it's because you care about me too much." Li Yian's voice was cold and calm, and there was obviously no fluctuation in it, but it suddenly made Mu Yang, who was immersed in thought, look up suddenly.
His fair and handsome face flushed red, and he stammered, "No, no..."
Compared to Mu Yang's embarrassment, Li Yian didn't think much about it.
She knew very well that Mu Yang was kind by nature, a holy father, with a pure heart. Even if a passerby was in trouble, he would be willing to sacrifice himself for others.
With a loud "crash", the fragile window was blown open again by the strong wind. The strong wind swept into the house, and the tables and chairs were blown away.
Li Yian was about to get up, but Mu Yang grabbed her sleeve again.
He tilted his head back, the blush still on his face, and looked at her steadily with his bright eyes, as if accusing her.
Flying sand and rocks hit Mu Yang with a crackling sound.
Li Yian said helplessly, "I'll get an umbrella to block the wind."
After Mu Yang let go of her sleeve, Li Yian took a white umbrella as thin as a cicada's wing from the corner, walked towards Mu Yang, and sat down close to him.
She had seen him make many tools these days. This umbrella was made by Mu Yang after some trial and error these days. It was called the "Cicada Shadow Shield".
Although it is as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as a feather, it can withstand any physical attack.
When she opened the umbrella, a faint fluorescent light appeared around the umbrella for an instant, as if countless tiny stardust were jumping on the umbrella surface.
The howling wind mixed with broken stones bounced back when it hit the umbrella.
The small world inside the umbrella is as quiet as the mirror surface on a pond.
Mu Yang turned his head and looked at the woman beside him in a daze.
She sat shoulder to shoulder with him, concentrating on looking at the stars under the umbrella. She usually had a cold expression, but now she showed some surprise.
This was the first time they were alone without arguing or making sarcastic remarks.
As if aware that he was being watched by the person next to him, Li Yian turned his head slightly and met Mu Yang's eyes.
Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, his face burning.
"What else do you want to talk about?" Li Yian asked.
Since she had agreed to chat, she would do it seriously. But as the queen of awkward silences, she hoped Mu Yang would continue to ask questions so she could answer them.
Mu Yang wanted to ask something, but was a little hesitant. After a while, he stammered and asked,
"Qi Yang told me that because you hate me so much, you like women now, right?"
His voice was soft and no emotion could be heard in it.
Li Yian's face darkened when she heard this, and she secretly blamed Qi Yang for his big mouth and said that it only brought her bad luck.
"No." She tried to keep her voice calm.
"What kind of person does cousin consider to be a strong person?"
Li Yian was stunned and silent for a while. She leaned against the wall, looking up at the umbrella. The twinkling starlight made her feel a little confused.
"Perhaps, someone who can change his own destiny."
"Change destiny?" Mu Yang lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
"Well, they say fate determines everything, but the strong create their own destiny."
This is also what she requires of herself.
"That day you told Li Xuan that I would become a great high priest. Why did you trust me so much?"
When Li Yian heard this, he looked at Mu Yang in surprise. Did he hear everything?
Mu Yang blushed slightly and lowered his eyes, as if waiting for her answer.
Li Yian frowned. She couldn't say she had read the novel, so she could only make up an excuse, "Because the High Priest believes in you."
Mu Yang's eyes dimmed for a moment, "Because of the High Priest..."
He was silent.
And because of his silence, the atmosphere became tense.
Li Yian felt uncomfortable all over. Did she say something wrong?
She was obviously not good at chatting, so she couldn't understand why Mu Yang specifically wanted to chat with her.
He seemed to be asking questions one after another, and Li Yian couldn't figure out the logic and connection between these questions, so naturally he couldn't think of how to follow up on his topic with questions in return.
She sat upright, motionless, listening to the wind whistling outside, and observing Mu Yang who was silent beside her out of the corner of her eye.
After a long while, she said calmly, "If we're done talking, I'll leave first..."
"Cousin, I..."
Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted Mu Yang's words, and there was a noise outside.
This situation seemed a little strange. Li Yian quickly stood up and ran to the window to look out. Dark clouds were surging in the sky, blocking out the sun.
The small stalls on the ground were blown away and there was a lot of noise outside.
It would not be reasonable to simply blame it on the plot god's actions to prevent her and Mu Yang from getting close.
