The moonlight, like water, filtered through the thin mist and steam, sprinkling onto the rippling hot spring, creating a soft glow.
"As expected of a natural hot spring, of all the hot springs I've soaked in, this one at Biluo Xiaozhu is still the most comfortable." Ji Luqi closed her eyes slightly, with a relaxed and pleasant expression.
Yu Ci was also inside. "The natural hot springs at the Gu family's old residence on Yunding Mountain are also quite nice," she said softly.
Lu Ming clicked her tongue twice. "The hot springs on Yunding Mountain are undoubtedly top-notch, but apart from the Gu family, I don't think anyone else can get there, right?"
Hua Yueli raised her hand, "I am not very talented, but I went to soak in it with my father when I was young, and it was indeed very good."
The hot springs at Biluo Xiaozhu are surrounded by some precious medicinal plants, but they are far inferior to the natural medicinal plants of Yunding Mountain.
"If you want to go, I can take you there another day," Gu Nanyan said nonchalantly.
The younger generation of the Gu family are usually busy with their own things, and they only return to Yunding Mountain once a month to get together, so soaking in the hot springs has become an essential activity.
"That's great, but let's not wait until we're old," Hua Yueli added.
Gu Nanyan, his face dark, threw an orange at him, "You shouldn't go, just stay home!"
Hua Yueli reached out and took the oranges, not forgetting to tease, "The oranges that Ziyan gave me must be sweet."
Everyone was already used to her shameless attitude.
"Zixi, ignore that bastard," Fu Muqian walked to Wei Shengxi's side. When he heard Fu Muxin mention it earlier, Fu Muqian really wanted to perform "tearing meat with his hands".
The silvery sunlight shone on her fair face, and perhaps because of the heat, a blush rose to her cheeks. It was the first time that Wei Shengxi had soaked in a hot spring with everyone.
In the past, when he was on Jingning Mountain, he was always watching from the sidelines because of his weak health.
Shen Bei'an gritted his teeth as he recalled what Fu Muxin had just said, "Exactly! Once this is resolved, it wouldn't be too much to tear that guy to pieces!"
That fierce look in his eyes made him want to cut Wei Shengxu in half with a single stroke!
What a beast! A disgrace to humanity!
Calling someone a beast is an insult to beasts!
She actually had those kinds of feelings for her own cousin!
“Taibai,” Jiang Yuzhu said lazily to Fu Muqian, “Don’t say that your brother won’t give you face later. Wei Shengxu will be killed. You can talk to your Fu Liu yourself.”
"Just for the fact that he dared to drug Zixi, he can't be let off the hook!" Mei Lanting, usually so amiable, spoke with murderous intent.
If Zixi hadn't been so vigilant, that beast might have succeeded!
This was all while Zixi was completely unconscious!
How dare he!
“That’s true.” Shen Juanqing picked up a grape, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Zhou Zhi and Hua Yueli were together, with Hua Yueli's hand firmly on Zhou Zhi's waist. Although the couple did not speak, their meaning was clear.
"What's the rush?" Gu Nanyan gently rubbed Shen Bei'an's waist, somewhat casually. "Ziqian, for your Fu Liu, the best way is for her to carry it out herself, ensuring he dies on the spot."
"otherwise…"
She didn't say the rest, but everyone knew.
If Fu Liu hadn't carried it out personally, they would have had someone else do it. In that case, the bullets loaded wouldn't necessarily be lethal; they could just use a tranquilizer dart or something similar, making everyone think they died on the spot, but in reality, they would be smuggled out.
It's too lenient for someone who has committed so many evil deeds to die like that.
None of the twelve of them were upright gentlemen or people who absolutely obeyed the law.
Even the law-abiding young master Shen, after spending so many years at the Elite Academy, has been quite influenced by it.
That old Taoist priest at the Elite Academy is a member of the Zou family, the elders of Fuyun Island.
Fuyun Island
In this world, it is a symbol of power, technology, and wealth.
How could there be no conflict in such a place?
Shen Bei'an couldn't help but glance at Gu Nan'an.
He couldn't help but glance at his calm and composed nephew.
What happened to obeying the law?!
Young Master Shen stated that he also abides by the law, but special methods are needed for dealing with such people. He also emphasized that he would not take action himself.
With Hua Yueli and Gu Nanyan around, there's no need for him to take action.
Gu Nanyan simply reached out and ruffled Shen Bei'an's hair, his gaze continuing to fall on Fu Muqian.
The choice is out in the open; it's up to Fu Muxin to decide.
"I'll have a good talk with her," Fu Muqian said in a deep voice. He would not let him get away with having such thoughts about Zixi.
"Why are you all so angry?" Wei Shengxi asked humbly, a smile on his face. "He's just a stranger, how could he possibly upset you all like this?"
Wei Shengxi remained calm upon learning that her cousin had such feelings for her.
When you like someone, you can't hide your feelings.
And the eyes, in particular, cannot be hidden.
Wei Shengxu's feelings for Wei Shengxi were neither love nor liking, but merely a possessive obsession.
"Hmph, that kind of thing dares to covet you." Lu Ming sneered, his face full of disgust.
They all knew very well that Wei Shengxu's feelings for Wei Shengxi were nothing more than a vicious possessiveness.
After all, beautiful flowers are always tempting to be picked, and even the gods in heaven are always subject to attempts to corrupt them.
Most of the others spoke in a contemptuous and disdainful tone, as if they would tear Wei Shengxu apart if he were in their presence.
Shen Beian simply listened quietly.
It seems to be just like the saying goes: good looks paired with any ability are a winning combination, but going it alone is a dead end.
If Wei Shengxi had not been capable, and if he had not taken precautions against Wei Shengxu, he might have already succeeded.
It's even possible that they've already become a forbidden descendant of Wei Shengxu!
Wei Shengxi smiled faintly, as radiant as spring blossoms and as beautiful as the autumn moon.
A fleeting shadow beneath the moon, like a fairy from a painting.
"With you all here, everything will be fine." His voice was gentle and clear, like a cup of steaming hot tea in winter or a cup of cool green tea in summer, refreshing and soothing.
Fu Muqian looked at him, his eyes full of determination, "That's for sure." A few traces of determination flashed in his eyes.
Xin-jie, it's not that your brother doesn't want to help you.
It was him, damn it!
"By the way, as for the fetus in her womb, is there any way to avoid harming the mother?" Fu Muqian looked at Ziya Jingmo.
Since the decision to kill the father has been made, the child naturally cannot be left behind.
Miscarriage is already very harmful to the mother's body, let alone a fully formed fetus.
Ziya Jingmo then slowly opened his mouth, "I can perform this surgery. After the surgery, all that's needed is for Young Master Fu to lie in the cell repair device for about five minutes. It will absolutely not damage the mother's body."
Her tone was indifferent and cold.
For some reason, her gaze fell on Gu Nanyan. Two years ago, on Ziyan's birthday, at the Han family's Qingmei Club, Ziyan specially asked Fu Liu to carry out that mission.
Looking back now, it was inconvenient for Gu Jia. At that time, Fu Liu had just returned to the Central Military Region and needed to make achievements, so it was also a way of giving Zi Qian face.
The fourth son of the Shen family also joined the army and was a lieutenant colonel in the Central Military Region. He could be promoted to colonel at any time if he needed to achieve a certain merit.
——
Do you remember that couple from before, and the young man who looked like someone from the forbidden region?
