Chapter 86 Chapter 86 I don’t know why, the two opposite…
For some reason, the two people opposite her looked at her with complicated expressions, making Li Yian feel very uncomfortable.
She thought her face was blemished. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if they didn't understand the importance of the inner demon to Mu Yang. She wanted to play the role of commentator, but she was not good with words. After a long time, she finally managed a sentence, "The inner demon will eventually submit to Mu Yang and become his strength. Mu Yang will become the strongest person."
After saying this, she, who was really not used to being the focus of other people's attention, nodded at the two people and was about to turn around and leave.
But she heard hurried footsteps behind her, and before she could react, she felt herself being hugged tightly by the person behind her.
The faint fragrance of orchids lingered at the tip of her nose, and the familiar feeling reminded her of the seven days in coma. When she woke up, she recalled Mu Yang's overly ambiguous behavior towards her. She was so scared that her head buzzed and she jumped up reflexively.
"Mu, Mu Yang! What are you doing?"
She broke free from Mu Yang and took several steps back, looking at Li Xuan with horror as she did so.
It's no wonder Li Yian was so frightened. In her subconscious, Mu Yang and Li Xuan had always been a couple. When they were little, she could carry the injured Mu Yang home on her back and eat the flower cakes Mu Yang made for her with peace of mind. But after Li Xuan appeared, she kept her distance from Mu Yang.
Now Mu Yang hugged her in front of Li Xuan, which scared her to death.
Mu Yang was pushed back a few steps by her, and he quickly looked up at her. Seeing her avoiding him, his heart, which had been deeply moved by her, was suddenly like being poured with a bucket of cold water. He lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, Yi'an."
Li Xuan was puzzled by Li Yian's gaze and snorted coldly, "What are you looking at me for?"
“······”
Li Yian urgently needed to escape from this embarrassing situation, so he turned around and was about to leave.
When she looked up, she saw Mu Yin looking down at them coldly. He was dressed in black, his eyes sullen and his face expressionless, but his fists were clenched tightly.
"What a touching trust!" Mu Yin said coldly.
It turned out that Li Yian had left him in such a hurry to come see Mu Yang and say such touching words to him. Even if he had grabbed the attention of everyone in the Theological Society, even if he had become stronger than Mu Yang, he had never felt so completely trusted by someone.
Li Xuan put away the sword stuck in the ground, wiped the dirt off the sword, sheathed the sword, and said in a cold voice, "I don't trust him."
He walked towards Mu Yin, raised his eyelids slightly, and said with a cold and arrogant look, "An Si asked me to protect you from today on."
"Oh?" Mu Yinjiang shifted his gaze from Li Yian to Li Xuan, curling his lips in disdain. "I'm not as weak as Mu Yang, who needs protection everywhere. Besides, you're not necessarily stronger than me."
"Ridiculous." Li Xuan chuckled coldly as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous. "If you're not convinced, you can have a competition."
"A competition? I don't bully the injured." Mu Yin glanced at Li Xuan's miserable appearance after being cut by the spiritual energy. "You can't even withstand Mu Yang's spiritual energy. It seems that you are no match for him."
It was the first time that Li Xuan heard someone belittle him in such a way, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Li Yian, who had originally wanted to leave, was overwhelmed by the sight of these two men, looking on edge and ready to fight again. They didn't get along the moment they met, as if they had been enemies in a previous life.
Li Yian knew very well that Li Xuan was a man with terrifying martial arts skills. He did not take out weapons to defend himself just to avoid hurting Mu Yang. Now he was ridiculed by Mu Yin for this, which undoubtedly touched Li Xuan's sore spot.
In order to prevent Mu Yin from speaking again and offending Li Xuan, Li Yian hurriedly grabbed Mu Yin's arm and walked back.
"Yian!" Mu Yang's anxious voice came from behind.
Li Yian kept walking without even turning his head.
Li Yian had always kept him at a distance. He had thought he was used to it, but he didn't expect to be rejected again. His heart felt as if it was torn apart and thrown to the ground and ruthlessly trampled on.
If she disliked him so much, why did she always care about him in such a distant way? Why did she give him such heavy trust?
How could he easily develop expectations that he shouldn't have?
"Li Yian!" Seeing that Li Yian was about to disappear from his sight again, and seeing that Mu Yin was about to take Li Yian away from him again, Mu Yang's face turned ugly and he was extremely anxious, and suddenly a surge of anger surged up.
Before he could react, he had already quickly caught up with Li Yian, pulled Li Yian to his side, and glared at Mu Yin, "I hope you can keep your promise."
"Agreement? I never made any agreement with you."
Mu Yin looked at Mu Yang indifferently. It turned out that Mu Yang, who always liked to pretend to be a good person and gentle, could also get angry?
Seeing Mu Yang's frown and glare, his mood seemed to improve. It turned out that Mu Yang, who seemed to have everything, also had something he longed for.
"That day in the woods at the back mountain, you promised me..." Realizing that Li Yian was right next to him, Mu Yang stopped talking.
Mu Yin knew what Mu Yang was talking about, and he just replied sarcastically, “I never promised that.”
He finally understood why Mu Yang had suddenly become a different person these days. He didn't get close to anyone, didn't participate in any activities, and just stayed alone in the backyard to guard Li Yian. It turned out that the reason for all this was what Mu Yang once said, "You can take everything I have, I just want to see her."
Ridiculous, how could he let Mu Yang get Li Yian.
The reason that prompted him to return to the Theological Society was Li Yian.
Mu Yang's fury surged upon hearing Mu Yin's shameless denial, his pupils suddenly turning crimson. A massive sword flashed with lightning as it appeared in his hand. Meanwhile, Li Xuan's longbow was already rigged with a demon-slaying arrow, the tip of the arrow pointed at Mu Yin.
"Would you dare say that again? 'Nothing more than that'? I want to show you who is 'nothing more than that'."
Mu Yin's palm shook, and a long fiery red whip mixed with flames swung out.
"······" Li Yian felt that it would be better if he disappeared from this world at this moment, so that he would not have to face this complicated and troublesome situation.
How did the situation develop into a group fight in just a few seconds?
She reached around her back and grasped the hilt of the giant sword, wondering whether she should join the battle.
Li Yian was struggling with his thoughts when suddenly a solemn bell ringing sound came from a distant temple. The bell ringing sound vibrated in the air, one after another, becoming more and more urgent.
"The High Priest is calling us." Li Yian quickly put down his hand holding the hilt of the sword and looked towards the temple.
This is the ceremony in which An Si calls everyone to an emergency meeting.
There is a huge bronze bell in the temple. It is not usually rung, not even to call people to a meeting. It is only rung when there is an extremely urgent matter and everyone is urged to rush to the temple.
Li Yian's face grew serious. "We can settle any personal grudges privately. Now is not the time to fight. The High Priest told us to hurry to the temple!" Without paying any attention to the people behind him, he quickly ran towards the temple. On the way, he ran into A Quan and the others. A Quan had a serious expression on his face. Seeing Li Yian, he said urgently, "I think it's about the mechanical tunnel, about eliminating those monsters."
Li Yian heard A Quan say at the martial arts academy that there was a nine-headed giant snake coiled in the mechanical tunnel. Its scales were golden. The giant snake had its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping, but it was not sleeping soundly and could wake up at any time. The poisonous insects around the giant snake almost killed the students of the Theological Society.
Because the giant snake was sleeping, A Quan and others could not figure out its strength, so they hurriedly escaped and told An Si what happened.
An Si searched through all the information but still couldn't find out the origin of the nine-headed giant snake.
Li Yian recalled the plot of the novel, which didn't mention this kind of monster. But when she thought of snakes, the first thing that popped into her mind was the spectator.
The theatergoers raised giant black pythons and released evil in the form of human snakes.
Therefore, the nine-headed giant snake probably has some connection with the theatergoers.
In a very short time, all the students in the Theological Society gathered at the temple, including the three people who had just planned to fight - Li Xuan, Mu Yang, and Mu Yin.
