The three of them landed in a remote alley.
Xing Yusheng stretched out his hand to hold "Mu Changting" and walked forward first, as if he didn't care whether the young man behind him would follow. Mu Changting silently followed behind and sized Xing Yusheng carefully.
Today, he tied up his long hair, his eyes turned black, and instead of wearing the fiery blood-red venerable robe, he dressed like an ordinary mortal.
It's just that he is really good-looking, dressed in white, with a face like a crown of jade, walking on the street with a tight eye, many young girls looked back and whispered with red faces.
Walking to the back door of a house, he was about to open the door to enter, when he suddenly paused, looked back at the young man who fell not far away, and said indifferently: "You go back to the Pure Heart Sect, if you stay here, it is hard to guarantee that you will die Don't worry, if I don't kill you, it doesn't mean that other people will let you go."
Mu Changting frowned and said, "Didn't you ask me to help take care of Master Mu? Why did you drive me away so quickly? Who are the others?" He asked three questions in a row, his face full of confusion and surprise.
Xing Yusheng glanced at him, and explained for the first time: "Yesterday, I told you to stay in the backyard and take care of Master Mu and not to come out, because the three major domain masters came to visit. I guessed that their stay this time was just to inquire about Changting. Whether it is really resurrected from the dead, at the same time, also look at the current state of this seat, and estimate whether there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Your life and death are of course irrelevant to this seat, but this seat does not want the three of them to succeed. Giving you the opportunity to be a victim of their plot."
Xing Yusheng's words are really strange, why is he worried that Gu Zilan will become the candidate in their scheme
Unless this person is selected among the considerations of the three major domain masters and Xing Yusheng, he is a person who will make Xing Yusheng, who is the Demon Lord, back down and save him. When did Gu Zilan hold a little weight in his mind
Is it because of his face...
Mu Changting thought for a moment, then slowly said: "But you and I both know what Sect Leader Mu looks like now, if they confirm that Sect Leader Mu has no power to fight back, I think the situation for you, Mozun, must be worrying."
The performance of the technique of resurrection must have had an impact on Xing Yusheng, otherwise he would not have taken those three people seriously.
Mu Changting couldn't help guessing, maybe... Xing Yusheng's current state is nothing more than being strong on the outside and doing nothing but holding on.
Xing Yusheng looked at his face for a long time, a dark light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Mu Changting was a little nervous when he saw him, afraid that he would see the clues, he quickly forced himself to be calm and said: "Although my spiritual power is low, this face can still bluff people, why don't I pretend to be the head of Mu and help you survive How's the place?"
Xing Yusheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was low and sweet: "What good will this do for you?"
Mu Changting turned his gaze away and said with a smile, "Benefits? Of course there are benefits. I don't want Master Mu's body to be damaged. As a disciple, it's fine if I don't have the ability to bring him back. At least I can't let him have an accident because of you, the Demon Lord." "
The two of them were talking when the wooden door suddenly opened quickly from the inside.
A half-grown boy showed his face, smiled when he saw Xing Yusheng, and said happily: "Brother Xing! You are here! Why are you just standing at the door and not coming in?"
Xing Yusheng's expression softened, and he whispered: "Xiao Huai, happy birthday."
He took out a box from his pocket and handed it over.
When He Huai smiled, showing a pair of cute little canine teeth, he happily took the gift, saw a palm-sized night pearl inside, his eyes lit up, and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so big! Thank you Brother Xing!"
After warmly saying a few words, He Huai happily called the three of them in.
They sat down in the flower hall and drank tea, and He Huai's black and white eyes darted around between Mu Changting and the corpse, leaned close to Xing Yusheng, and whispered: "Brother Xing, this is the brother Mu you often mention ?"
He Huai looked at "Mu Changting", then turned his head to look at Xing Yusheng's face carefully, and smiled affirmatively: "Then what about this one? Is he Brother Mu's younger brother?"
Mu Changting almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and was so choked that he coughed again and again.
Xing Yusheng frowned slightly, and whispered reproachfully: "Xiao Huai, don't talk nonsense."
He Huai stuck out his tongue and said with a playful smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just said that because you two look alike." He turned his head to look at Xing Yusheng, and said happily, "Brother Xing! My aunt has prepared a lot of dishes, and I'm waiting for you to cook, hee hee."
Every year on his birthday, Xing Yusheng would personally cook a table of delicacies for him. With the improvement of Xing Yusheng's culinary skills, what He Huai is most looking forward to is not what birthday gift Xing Yusheng will bring him, but what to eat this year.
There was a slight smile in Xing Yusheng's eyes: "Okay, let me go and see what you have prepared."
He Huai smiled and said, "Go, go, I'll greet them for you."
Xing Yusheng got up and went to the kitchen. He Huai saw that he had gone far away, so he turned his head and stared at the dull-eyed "Mu Changting", and asked softly, "What's wrong, Brother Mu? Why is he like this?"
Mu Changting smiled: "He's just sick, nothing serious."
He Huai nodded, not sure if he believed it or not, he just laughed: "Brother Zilan, do you want to take a walk in the mansion? , it’s rare that he brought his friends back this time.”
Mu Changting smiled and said, "Okay, please show me around."
He Huai happily walked them around the courtyard, introducing them as they walked.
Mu Changting wanted to talk to him, and He Huai was simple-minded and had no intentions. After a while, Mu Changting already knew about the relationship between him and Xing Yusheng.
This house is Xing Yusheng's property in the human world. He Huai was an orphan who was adopted as a child and grew up in a relatively poor family. After the adoptive parents had their own children, the family situation became more difficult. They had to Sell him to a rich family as a slave.
It was Xing Yusheng who bought him that day, placed him in this house, and raised him like a younger brother.
The aunts in the house are a kind old couple. When Xing Yusheng is not around, they are responsible for taking care of He Huai. They are his closest relatives besides Xing Yusheng.
He Huai led them into his room, poured a cup of tea for him and "Mu Changting" respectively, and said with a smile: "You are tired from walking, take a rest, and I can take you to visit our garden later. "
Mu Changting always had an indescribable intimacy with He Huai. He smiled and said, "This place is so big, do you feel lonely living here?"
He Huai took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "No, I have my aunt to accompany me, and Brother Xing always tells me to study hard, so I am usually busy, and I have to learn from my master and memorize a lot of books. Book."
Mu Changting smiled, looked around his room, and finally settled on a jade flute placed on the desk.
He Huai walked over and took the jade flute, handed it to Mu Changting, and said with a smile: "Brother Zilan, do you also like to play the flute? Well, but my flute is not the best, you should take a look at Brother Xing The jade flute, that is the best flute I have ever seen. Sigh, brother Xing is so precious, he is not even allowed to touch it, I heard it has a nickname, what is it called... what is it... "
He Huai scratched his head, unable to remember for a while.
Mu Changting smiled naturally and said, "Sheng Ge."
He Huai clapped his hands and shouted, "Yes! It's Shengge! Brother Zilan, how do you know?"
Mu Changting was stunned for a moment, before he could think of an answer, a cold voice sounded at the door: "Xiao Huai, it's time to eat."
Mu Changting's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to meet Xing Yusheng's deep eyes.
He Huai cheered, jumped up, happily called them, and ran outside.
Mu Changting didn't know if explaining a few sentences at this time would make him look more suspicious. While hesitating, Xing Yusheng, who was leaning against the door of the room, walked in, and took "Mu Changting" away with a blank expression. Mu Changting heaved a sigh of relief as his peripheral vision didn't fall on him, maybe... maybe he didn't hear it.
Even if, even if I heard it, so what, I just know the nickname of a jade flute, can't I see it before
They spent a lively birthday with He Huai, and they left the house in the evening.
On the way back, Xing Yusheng didn't say a word. Although he was usually silent, Mu Changting felt uneasy for some reason. Why didn't he ask? He was not even given a chance to defend himself.
Returning to the main courtyard of the Demon Palace, Xing Yusheng called him to stop him, found a suit of clothes from the room, and said calmly: "This seat is going to hold a banquet for the three domain owners tonight, since you are willing to replace Chang Ting, you can change into this suit." Get your clothes ready."
It was a set of moon-white crane robes, which had been worn by all the previous heads of the Qingxin Sect. Mu Changting was naturally very familiar with it, so he took it silently. Just as he didn't know what to say, Xing Yusheng turned and left.
The dinner was held in the main hall of the Demon Palace, with Xing Yusheng sitting at the head, and Mu Changting sitting at the bottom, facing the three domain lords.
The beautiful dancers in the center of the hall sing and dance to the silk music.
Mu Changting drank a glass of wine with a natural expression, and Xiao Yunyang, who was opposite him, shook his fan lightly and laughed: "Master Mu, I haven't seen you for many years, and it's Xiao's luck to be sitting here with you today."
Mu Changting said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Yu is polite, I never thought that I would be able to revive my soul one day after being dead for many years."
Jiang Xueying curled her lips into a smile, and interjected, "Isn't that so, for Sect Master Mu, our Demon Lord has worked so hard."
Mu Changting looked at her and smiled, but didn't speak.
Afterwards, they chatted about various topics. The atmosphere seemed relaxed and casual, but in fact it was turbulent.
After drinking for three rounds, Ning Zhao stood up, toasted Mu Changting, and said in a rough voice: "Although we were hostile before, no matter what, I, Ning, still admire you, head Mu. Come on, let me Let's do it first!"
Mu Changting raised his wine glass with a smile, and drank with his head raised.
However, the accident happened suddenly at this moment. Taking advantage of the change in the dance formation, one of the dancers jumped out of the crowd, and with a long sword in his hand, he stabbed at Mu Changting!
