The carriage drove all the way to Linyin and stopped. After getting out of the carriage, Mu Yunjin pulled Taoist Fengxuan to a corner and stared at him.
Taoist Fengxuan coughed and looked around, but he didn't look at Mu Yunjin.
"Old man, why did you tell Chu Li about Qiuye?" Mu Yunjin saw that he was deliberately avoiding her, so she asked straight to the point.
"As a teacher, I just told the truth. Who knows that you didn't greet me well in advance." Taoist Fengxuan looked at the sky and didn't care.
When Mu Yunjin heard the words, her teeth itch with hatred, and she made up a random excuse in front of Chu Li before, but now it's all right, and she just gave it away, I don't know what Chu Li will think.
Taoist Fengxuan saw her suspicious eyes, and shook his head helplessly, "Didn't you always believe in revenge if you have revenge? Wouldn't it be better to find someone to avenge you for your teacher now?"
"Hmph, let's go to the inn first." Mu Yunjin was also tired after the carriage traveled for a day.
After entering the inn, Mu Yunjin was taken all the way to the guest room on the third floor. She thought that there were many rooms in the inn, and she would be in her own room. Unexpectedly, after opening the door, Chu Li was sitting inside, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time .
Seeing Chu Li, Mu Yunjin was inexplicably guilty, put on a smile, and walked in the door.
After closing the door, Mu Yunjin smiled slightly and looked sharply, "Are you hungry? Would you like to order something to eat first?"
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin coolly.
Mu Yunjin touched the eyes that made her frightened, and immediately changed tactics, flattened her mouth, drooped her face, blinked a few times, walked to Chu Li's side and sat down, stretched her arms around his arm , leaning on his shoulder.
"After you left that day, I was still curious about the talisman paper, so I went to Qingfeng Mountain again. I saw Taoist Qiuye cast a spell on the top of Qingfeng Mountain to pray for rain. Later, I felt that something was wrong, so I wanted to escape. Then, he found out..."
Mu Yunjin honestly told Chu Li what happened that day, and she knew that she couldn't hide her lies from Chu Li.
As for why she cares so much about Chu Li's emotions now, even she herself can't say.
Chu Li frowned, and after hearing Mu Yunjin's words, his body was filled with coldness, and he suddenly remembered the first appearance of the fire phoenix on the top of Qingfeng Mountain when he left that night.
Could it be...
Chu Li was startled, reached out and clasped Mu Yunjin's shoulder, exerted a little force, and said with a calm expression, "Other than that?"
"No more..." Mu Yunjin didn't know why Chu Li had such a big reaction, so she patted his hand lightly, indicating that he hurt her shoulder.
Chu Li let go of her, got up and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
Mu Yunjin rubbed her shoulders, watched Chu Li rushing out angrily, curled her lips, and muttered, "Why is this guy still losing his temper?"
…
In the room on the other side.
"Senior, you saw everything that happened on the top of Qingfeng Mountain that night?" Chu Li stood in Taoist Fengxuan's room, staring coldly at Taoist Fengxuan who was sitting on the couch drinking.
Taoist Fengxuan took a few sips of wine, took a few more peanuts, and ate them one after another. After hearing Chu Li's question, he said lazily, "Do you want to ask about Huofeng?"
"Yeah." Chu Li sat down, lowered his eyes, and there was some deep thought in his eyes.
Taoist Fengxuan raised his eyebrows, smiled, and gave Chu Li an affirmative answer, "Yes, it's her."
"Her blood once liberated my black lotus soul. I had some doubts about her at that time. That night in Qingfeng Mountain, I saw the red phoenix come out from behind her with my own eyes."
Chu Li recalled that night when the Qingfeng Mountain was full of red lights, and a clear light flashed in his eyes. He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but he only knew that he didn't want this answer.
Taoist Fengxuan poured another glass of wine, took a few sips, and laughed a few times, "That impostor Qin Muyue has deceived you for so long with the body of a phoenix girl, I am afraid that Qiuye is behind it."
"Qiu Ye now also knows Mu Yunjin's identity as a phoenix girl. For the next period of time, there will be no peace around Mu Yunjin."
Chu Li nodded slightly, "Did she know about this?"
"I didn't know it at all. When the fire phoenix appeared, she was already on the verge of death." Taoist Fengxuan said.
Chu Li hummed, stood up and glanced at Taoist Fengxuan, "Then please forget about it, senior. Mu Yunjin is just an ordinary woman, not a phoenix girl."
"I don't bother with this matter, but the arrival of the Phoenix Star, although it is a good omen, but if someone uses it, it will bring her a lot of trouble, just like your mother and concubine." Taoist Fengxuan reminded.
"This matter, I will solve this matter." Chu Li said, and left the door after leaving a word.
Behind him, Daoist Fengxuan sat on the spot and sighed, "The phoenix star is coming, and something important will happen in this world."
The decree of the gods is about to appear...
…
When returning to the room, Mu Yunjin fell asleep on her side. Chu Li stared at Mu Yunjin's back for a while, then slowly approached, and gently tugged at her back collar.
After not seeing the expected phoenix mark, Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, tucked the quilt for her, and walked out the door again.
"My lord, the news about the decree of the gods collected by the secret guards some time ago is almost all fake. The secret guards have traveled all over the country, but they all came to nothing." In another room, Huang Yan reported to Chu Li News about the decree of the gods.
Chu Li was holding a cup of tea, rubbing the rim of the cup gently with his fingertips, his face was not very good-looking, and he said in a low voice, "Someone is also looking for a decree from the gods."
"It should be, otherwise we wouldn't have received so many false news all of a sudden." Huang Yan frowned, and seeing Chu Li's face sullen, he added, "People from all over the world will come to Xiyuan Kingdom next month. Maybe there will be some clues."
Chu Li looked pale, "Send a group of people to watch Rong Jiu."
"Rong Jiu?" Huang Yan was a little surprised when he heard the name, but he was no stranger, "Why did you think of going to stare at him?"
After asking, Huang Yan felt that he was asking too much, so he stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, nodded, "I understand."
After Huang Yan left, Chu Li frowned slightly, and took out Mu Yunjin's moon-white jade pendant from his sleeve. The white light instantly illuminated the room, and the word "Yunjin" was engraved on the jade pendant. It is also clearly visible.
…
On the second day, the carriage got on the road again and headed towards Xinyao City.
Mu Yunjin saw that Chu Li's face had softened a lot in the morning, so she also relaxed, sitting on the carriage and arguing with Taoist Fengxuan, watching the scenery.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Mu Yunjin always felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was weird. When she looked back several times, she saw Chu Li staring at her back.
For a moment, Mu Yunjin felt her heart was creepy, so she had to wrap a blanket over herself, lean against the window, and sleep with her eyes closed.
The return journey took another three days. When Mu Yunjin saw the carriage stopped at the gate of Xinyao City, she felt so excited that she was about to cry.
Although I haven't stayed here a few times, it's a place I know anyway, just looking at the plaque at the gate of the city, I feel very kind.
Taoist Fengxuan bid farewell to the two of them when he entered the city. Mu Yunjin sat in the carriage and said excitedly, "Go to Qingfu."
She is in Xinyao City, but she has a house under her name!
"You go to the Qing Mansion first, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion." Chu Li squinted at the excited Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin nodded, "Then you can come to Qingfu to find me later, this time I won't live in the shade."
"Um."
The carriage stopped all the way at the gate of the Qing Mansion. After Mu Yunjin got off the carriage, she saw the carriage turning around and walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Yunjin took out the key she carried with her and was about to open the gate of the house when she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
"Grandma Ye, it's you."
Granny Ye was walking slowly with a basket on her shoulders, when she heard someone calling her at the gate of Qingfu, she looked at Mu Yunjin.
After seeing the girl who bought the house that day, she walked over with a smile, "Hi girl, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yeah, I don't live here, I will come to visit occasionally." Mu Yunjin raised the corners of her lips.
Hearing this, Granny Ye nodded her head knowingly, and said, "Miss Qing was also in Shenyao City these days, but I ran into her by chance that day, and said that I came back to see her."
"Since she would come back occasionally, why did she sell this house?" Mu Yunjin was a little curious.
"I don't know about this old man. The young lady lives in an inn in the western suburbs these few days." Granny Ye said with a smile.
After exchanging a few words with Granny Ye, Mu Yunjin opened the gate of Qing Mansion and walked into the courtyard.
After entering the Qingfu, Mu Yunjin saw that the flowers and plants around here were still growing very well, and now it was autumn leaves, and everything gradually began to wither, but the flowers and plants here were not withered.
Mu Yunjin entered the front hall of the Qing Mansion, originally thinking that no one lived in it for a long time and needed to clean it up, but after entering the door, the tables and chairs were spotless, obviously someone had cleaned it.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows and walked towards the room again. After entering the room, it was also clean without a trace of dust.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin folded her arms inexplicably, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, curled her lips and shuddered.
After entering the kitchen and making a pot of hot tea, Chu Lizheng walked in with Qu Xinyao.
Qu Xinyao was still dressed in bright red, and her makeup looked extremely seductive, but she still wore the faint white jade hairpin with plum blossoms in her hair.
After entering the front hall, Qu Xinyao looked at Mu Yunjin with a smile, "Princess Ning, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Mu Yunjin greeted lightly.
Qu Xinyao smiled, looked Mu Yunjin up and down again, and said with a smile, "Qingzhou is really a poor place. I've only been there for a few days. How can I lose weight? Can't I get enough to eat?"
"Master Qu, drink tea." Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and poured a cup of tea for Qu Xinyao.
Standing by the side, Chu Li looked around the Qingfu, stroked the seat lightly with his fingers, and was also a little surprised when he didn't feel a trace of dust.
"Mu Yunjin, did you clean it?"
Mu Yunjin shook her head and flattened her mouth, "Where did I get the time to clean this place? It's crazy to say that every place here has been cleaned very clean, even this tea set has been wiped clean. "
Hearing this, Qu Xinyao paused holding the hand holding the hot teacup, and raised her eyebrows with great interest, "Oh? So, within the scope of my jurisdiction, what the hell?"
