The night was still so silent, and the only thing agitated by the noise was the fiercely beating heart.
Mu Changting was lying on the bed in a daze, his gaze fell on the half-opened window, the cold moon's light quietly sprinkled all over the ground, he heard the steady footsteps of that person walking away slowly, as if he would also be turning the scorching The temperature is taken away with it.
Xing Yusheng was probably a little angry and disappointed, and Mu Changting suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his back sitting stiffly and alone. This night he tossed and turned, he didn't sleep very well, he hugged the soft quilt with all four limbs, smelling the familiar fragrance of cold plum, he was even more disturbed.
Unable to explain why he didn't return to the Qingxin sect, Mu Changting stayed up all night like he was masochistic, and took a drowsy nap just before dawn, but he didn't sleep for long before he was dug up by He Huai.
He Huai sat obediently in the dining room and waited. Seeing Mu Changting coming out sleepily, he said with a smile, "Master Mu, come over for dinner and see if there is anything you like."
Of course they like to eat it. They ate extravagantly for breakfast, and the table was full of interesting and lovely pastries, as well as sweet and delicious porridge.
Mu Changting heard him call him strangely, ate a dumpling, smiled and said, "Don't call me the head of the house, I am not anymore, what do you call you brother Xing, you should call me what you want." They His life expectancy is longer than that of ordinary people. In fact, it is a bit of an advantage for young people to call him big brother, but since Xing Yusheng can afford to be cheeky, he, Mu Changting, can naturally afford it.
He Huai was kind and kind, and happily called him "Brother Mu".
Mu Changting is friendly and loves to laugh, so He Huai is naturally willing to get close, wishing to be more intimate.
In fact, when he didn't know Mu Changting before, because Xing Yusheng often mentioned that he called him Brother Mu, but after Mu Changting regained his consciousness, he was not familiar with him, so he could only look for etiquette to call him unfamiliar. some.
While eating absent-mindedly, Mu Changting looked towards the door, and asked hesitantly, "Well...won't you ask Brother Xing to come over for dinner?"
He Huai chewed with puffed cheeks, shook his head and said, "No, he's gone."
At first, Mu Changting was still anxious, worried that he would not know how to get along with Xing Yusheng when he saw him later, but now that he heard that he left, his eyes widened in shock: "What? He left?"
He Huai nodded, also surprised in his heart, when he was still lying on the bed in the morning, Xing Yusheng came in and shook him awake, saying that he would leave for a while and go back to his hometown to deal with some things. He doesn't know where Xing Yusheng's "hometown" is. Xing Yusheng has always been reluctant to talk about his own affairs, and He Huai would make trouble when he was ignorant when he was a child. Now that he has figured out his temperament, he knows what to ask and what not to ask. up.
Xing Yusheng told him that Mu Changting rested here last night, and he made breakfast, so that He Huai should remember to ask Mu Changting to have dinner together. He Huai hadn't woken up yet, so he answered in a daze, and when he woke up, he got up and went to the kitchen to have a look, my dear, he cooks more than just breakfast, it's just like that for a rich family, it's so rich.
Mu Changting asked Xing Yusheng's whereabouts, and He Huai told him this.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mu Changting's expression became a little strange, and he stopped eating, staring at the table full of food in a daze.
He Huai bit his chopsticks and sized him up, thinking, there was something wrong with the two of them.
The same is true for Xing Yusheng. When he left, he looked worried and seemed to be in a bad mood, but he usually doesn't know how to cook when he is in a bad mood, let alone cook so many delicious foods.
Another thing is very strange, Xing Yusheng is such a clean person, and he doesn't even like too many people in and out of his room on weekdays, but now he is willing to let Mu Changting sleep on his bed, it is really unbelievable...
After breakfast, Mu Changting lay down in the gazebo and meditated. He had sent a letter to the precept elder, saying that he would return after a while.
In fact, Xing Yusheng should have gone back to the Demon Realm. Things there are more difficult than those of the Qingxin faction. Although he was seriously injured in bed a while ago and could not handle the affairs of the Demon Realm in time, Snake Gall has already gone back to sit in the battle, and Mu Changting also has secrets. Help, but in the end it is better for him to handle it himself.
What Mu Changting is worried about is that Xing Yusheng's health is not as good as before, and he wonders if he can cope alone.
Both Xiao Yunyang and Jiang Xueying have the heart of rebellion, and Ning Zhao remains neutral. Now that Qin Feiqiong is defeated, they are afraid that they will jump the wall in a hurry and lobby Ning Zhao to unite together to deal with Xing Yusheng. That is the biggest worry. how to change.
"... Brother Mu! What are you thinking?"
The young man's voice rang in his ears, startled Mu Changting, he smiled helplessly: "Xiao Huai, don't speak so loudly, I can hear you."
He Huai handed over a few sweet green dates, jumped on the table and sat down, complaining: "You can't hear me, I've called you several times!" .
The jujube fruit in the palm is plump and bright in color, Mu Changting tasted it, it was really delicious.
He Huai smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"
Seeing his satisfied foodie face, Mu Changting nodded with a smile: "It's delicious, quite sweet."
He Huai shook his feet leisurely, and suggested, "Brother Mu, if you are free today, may I show you around?"
Mu Changting looked at him with a smile, He Huai rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you want to go out?"
Mu Changting replied bluntly, "I don't want to."
He Huai became anxious all of a sudden, jumped down from the table, grabbed his arm, and said, "Why don't you think about it? It's so boring to stay at home, it's rare for you to rest, let's go out for a stroll!"
Mu Changting smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be attending classes with your master. Your aunt won't allow you to go out, right? Tell me the truth, what do you want to go out for?"
He Huai pouted, and said, "It's just that my friend invited me to go out to swim in the lake. I'm bored at home. If you hang yourself, you need to catch your breath? If you read again, I will be stupid!"
Mu Changting didn't want to go at first, but He Huai's playful and gluttonous appearance reminded him of his junior brother unconsciously. In addition, he was depressed and wanted to go out to relax, so he let go and said, "Okay , just this once."
He Huai cheered and ran to report to his aunt.
On this day, the weather was still excellent, with a breezy sun and a clear blue sky.
Weeping willows are fluttering on the shore, and there are endless businessmen coming and going. An elegant painting boat stops by the shore, and He Huai happily greets Mu Changting to go up. After a salute, he said: "Here you come, my son, the other sons have been waiting for you for a long time."
He Huai smiled and said, "Hurry up, let's go up."
Mu Changting frowned slightly when he smelled the sweet and greasy powder smell in the air, but He Huai was in high spirits, and he agreed again, not wanting to spoil his interest, and followed him inside.
Those sitting here are all young masters from aristocratic families, they are personable, and they don't look like mobs.
Mu Changting heaved a sigh of relief. He is not an old-fashioned person. He knows a thing or two about what young people of this age are after. As long as it is not too much, he will not interfere too much.
Because He Huai was late, he was fined a few glasses of wine, and everyone sat down talking and laughing.
He Huai leaned into his ear and whispered: "Brother Mu, the owner of this boat is a well-known dancer in this area, and the courtiers under her skirts can line up from the east to the west of the city. Let me borrow your light!"
Mu Changting teased, "You're only so old, you start thinking about women."
He Huai's cheeks flushed suddenly, and he stammered in denial: "No, it's not, it's just experience."
Mu Changting shook his head and smiled, and said: "Let's say it first, you are not allowed to do anything out of line, otherwise I will go back and complain." He Huai waved his hands hurriedly: "Of course not!"
The two chatted for a while, and the bead curtain that had been hanging down was suddenly pushed aside by a hand that had been as white as jade, and a woman in a blue gauze skirt came out with a very dignified appearance. Her body is like a willow, and her appearance is slightly better than Jiang Xueying's. She is indeed a rare beauty.
After all, the teenagers are young, and many of them are stunned.
Only Mu Changting drank to himself, counting his troubles, calmly.
With Xing Yusheng and Zhuyu in front, many people in this world lost their colors.
When Mu Changting thought of this, the hand holding the cup paused. Come to think of it, he was also a beauty lover when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have gone up to talk to Xing Yusheng alone when he was studying in Kagura Palace.
But why is this love of beauty fading now
Mu Changting looked up at the woman sitting in the middle who had already started playing the piano, and he was startled.
He Huai elbowed him, his eyes were full of smiles: "Brother Mu, even cultivators are dumbfounded!"
Mu Changting stretched out his hand and gave him a shudder on the forehead, and said, "What are you thinking about, kid? I was thinking about something. No matter how beautiful a woman is in this world, I, a cultivator, would not think anything wrong."
He Huai covered his forehead and wrinkled his nose at him: "It's a lie, isn't it possible to have a Taoist companion!"
Mu Changting smiled: "The kid knows a lot."
That's right, he also thought about finding a like-minded Taoist companion before, but it's a pity...
In an instant, Xing Yusheng's overly handsome and paralyzed iceberg face flashed in his mind, his happy look, his unhappy look, appeared in front of his eyes as if he was watching flowers on horseback. Mu Changting frowned, a little annoyed that he always thought of that person frequently, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, turned around and went out to breathe.
This was just a short episode in a boring life. When he went back at night, the message from the Pure Heart Sect came again.
The golden words floated in the air, and disappeared after a while, it was Ming Li who asked him when he would go back. This must be what the precept elder meant, his obedient apprentice was very disciplined and would not interfere in his affairs for nothing.
But Mu Changting couldn't find a valid reason, and he didn't know the meaning of staying here anymore.
He simply stopped replying. He hugged the soft quilt, let out a long sigh, and buried his head in it, breathing in the fragrance of cold plums. On the road of life, he rarely felt confused.
At this moment, there was a soft sound from the window lattice, and Mu Changting suddenly opened his eyes and stood up!
The sword moved freely, and the Longevity Sword came out of its sheath in an instant, and landed on the throat of the visitor.
