Mu Lin knew that he didn't say a word of truth, and sneered: "If you dare to tease other fairies with this sentence, you will probably get slapped."
"But you didn't react at all."
"No matter how intimately you call me, it won't make me like you any better."
Feng Ling was very disappointed: "Lin'er is so heartless..."
But his eyes showed: But I like you like this.
"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me?"
"I'm a little curious. Since Lin'er knew that Ah Fei was in my hands, why didn't he come to save it?"
"It has become your contracted spirit beast, right? Once the master-servant spirit contract is reached, it cannot be dissolved. Why should I waste my efforts?"
Feng Ling: “…”
I have to admit that what she said made sense, was rational, and ruthless, and was completely incomparable to those kind-hearted and impulsive fairies.
He smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill it?"
Mu Lin said calmly: "Since it has signed a spiritual contract with you, whether you treat it well or badly, whether you want it to live or die, it is its own concern and has nothing to do with me."
Mu Lin had a cold expression. She absolutely could not reveal her true attitude, otherwise Ah Fei's situation would become extremely complicated.
Only if she didn't care about Ah Fei, Ah Fei would not become a chess piece for Feng Ling to restrain her. This would be good for both her and Ah Fei.
A half-human-high fire unicorn suddenly appeared beside Feng Ling. Its red-gold vertical pupils stared at Mu Lin, looking extremely strange and gorgeous.
Mu Lin stared at it silently, as if he felt deep hurt in its eyes.
She said expressionlessly: "Yanling Qilin Beast, from the day you chose to go with Fengling, you have no connection with Yingzhou anymore, including the name Ah Fei, so just give it up."
Feng Ling said to it with a playful smile on his lips: "You lose, she doesn't care about you at all, and she doesn't want you."
Feng Ling ignored the complicated and painful emotions in Ah Fei's eyes, and smiled at Mu Lin: "Lin'er, you know, I didn't make a contract with it, but made a bet with it. You... It bet that you cared about it, but lost your freedom."
Heart-breaking comment!
Mu Lin clenched his fingers tightly in his sleeves, but his face showed no flaws. He said calmly, "Whatever you say, this is a matter between you two, and has nothing to do with me. I have to go back to the Dragon Palace. Goodbye."
Mu Lin turned around and laughed at himself. Despite all his precautions, he still fell into Feng Ling's trap.
He first tricked Ah Fei away from Yingzhou, and then used these words to make Ah Fei completely alienated from her. He subdued a powerful spirit beast effortlessly. It was really smart!
She foresaw Ah Fei's fate and thought that it had been contracted by Feng Ling, and wanted to sever the relationship to avoid both parties being controlled. Unexpectedly, Feng Ling did not contract it at all, but was waiting for her to take the bait.
The art of centrifugation is truly brilliant.
The matter was done, she could not reveal any flaws, lest Feng Ling take advantage of her.
Ah Fei kept looking at Mu Lin's departing figure, muttering to herself: "Mu Mu hates me, she still hates me, she will hate me forever... Now it is obviously she who betrayed me... Why does she hate me, why doesn't she want me anymore..."
"Yes, she hates you. Ah Fei, I am the only one who will stand with you forever..." Feng Ling's slow voice seemed full of temptation.
As soon as Mu Lin returned to the Dragon Palace in the North Sea, he saw Ming Yijian and her daughter rushing over. Without saying a word, Mu Lin fed Xiao Xilan with a divine power, then went straight back to his own bedroom and closed the door to refuse visitors.
Mu Lin closed the window, put away all the night pearls, lay on the bed with her eyes open, and slowly asked herself in the quiet darkness, did she do something wrong
The master thought she was wrong, and Ah Fei was also hurt by her attitude. Every decision she made seemed to be wrong, and would only continue to hurt others...
Mu Lin couldn't help but close his eyes and fell into deep self-doubt.
After a sleepless night, the next morning, Mu Lin went to bid farewell to the Dragon King and his wife of Beihai with two big dark circles under his eyes. The three of them chatted in the palace for more than an hour. When Mu Lin left, a soft little thing was hung around his neck. It was the little princess of Beihai, Xilan.
Mu Lin didn't want to take a dragon cub on the journey, but the North Sea Dragon King and his wife insisted that Xi Lan follow her. She was still sleepy and confused, so she couldn't convince the North Sea Dragon King. She was also misled by him and accepted Xi Lan as his disciple. So she had no choice but to agree to take her with him.
The Dragon King of the North Sea was kind enough to give Mu Lin 70 or 80 Fire Spirit Beads to feed the child, and also gave her a mountain of rare and precious medicinal herbs from the North Sea as a thank you gift. Ming Yijian's gift to Mu Lin was a whole set of clothes and jewelry. Mu Lin felt that her bag was almost full.
Mu Lin deeply suspected that the couple had left the child to her in order to have more time together. She felt that she had to tell her master, Emperor Zhechuan, about accepting a disciple, so she used the art of refining to refine a mechanical bird, and flew to Yingzhou with her letter.
Mu Lin first took Xilan to Mount Buzhou, hoping to see if there was any remaining fire elemental divine power, but found that the weakened fire elemental divine power had long been unilaterally crushed by the water elemental divine power, and was completely killed.
Mu Lin tapped Xiao Xilan's nose helplessly: "Your current food standard won't last long, so prepare to eat coarse food with Master."
Xiao Xilan looked at her master with her big, confused eyes, obviously not understanding what she meant.
Mu Lin chuckled: "May you remain innocent forever."
In the distant fairyland of Yingzhou, Emperor Zhechuan was watering flowers when he suddenly looked up as if he sensed something.
A palm-sized mechanical bird flew towards him. Origami put down the water scoop and raised his hand to let it rest in his palm. The mechanical bird was warm, and Mu Lin's immortal power was wafting from its body. Origami lightly touched its beak, and it fell to his palm, turning into a letter.
Zhechuan nodded lightly. His characters were beautiful and tall, with strong and straight lines, thick and thin, without any contradiction or inconsistency, and full of the charm of Mi Fu's running script.
The short letter contained Mu Lin's greetings to him, instructions on accepting him as a disciple, and her general itinerary.
There were only seven or eight lines of words in total. Orikawa read it three times to make sure he had not missed anything before putting the letter down. Looking at the white and crystal flowers, he felt a slight sense of loss in his heart.
After being away from home for a long time, I don’t miss home. This is indeed the nature of young people.
His beloved disciple will eventually go on a long journey, and as his master, he must learn to let go.
Orikawa returned to his study, picked up his pen and wrote a few sentences, then made a mechanical bird and sent it away.
Mu Lin decided to take Xilan to Fanghu Island for a tour. When she arrived at the West Sea, she saw an old man rowing a boat. The old man was dressed like other fishermen, with white hair and a kind smile.
Mu Lin could tell at a glance that the other person was a Golden Immortal and was extremely surprised. It was the first time she saw a Golden Immortal working as a boatman.
The old immortal called out from afar, "Hey, little girl, do you and the dragon cub on your back want to take a boat to Fanghu?"
Mu Lin couldn't hear him talking at all, she only saw his mouth moving all the time, as if he was shouting something at her, so she walked forward, pointed at her ears, and then waved her hand.
The old man seemed to understand what she meant, and turned his head to call out to the boat. A boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen bent over and popped his head out of the cabin. The boy's eyes fell on Mu Lin, and when he saw Mu Lin's appearance clearly, his fair face turned red.
The boy was dressed like a scholar from the human world, with a delicate appearance, gentle eyes, and a scholarly air that made people feel very comfortable. However, Mu Lin frowned slightly, always feeling that there was something wrong with this boy, and even Xi Lan looked at him with a vigilant look.
The old man said something to the boy, who looked at Mu Lin in surprise and then retreated back into the cabin. He came out with a piece of paper and handed it to Mu Lin with a red face.
Mu Lin took the rice paper. The words on it were not dry yet, and it was obvious that the scholar had just written them.
I am sorry to bother you, Song Ze. I wonder if you are going to Fanghu? Only my grandfather's boat can go there within a radius of ten miles. The fare for an adult is one piece of spiritual jade, and the elderly and children are exempt from fare.
Mu Lin nodded and pointed at Xiao Xilan on his shoulder: "Is she considered a child?"
Song Ze was surprised again. It turned out that this beautiful girl could speak. Although dragon cubs were rare, they were undoubtedly infants. He nodded quickly.
Mu Lin took out a piece of spiritual jade and gave it to him, then took Xi Lan on board. The old man was ferrying at the stern, Song Ze was in the simple cabin, and Mu Lin was sitting at the bow.
The sea breeze was cool, and the scenery on the shore slowly faded away. The last time Mu Lin went boating on the lake was hundreds of years ago. The lake was not as vast as the sea, and it was rare to see such scenery.
As the night deepens, the stars hang low, the moon rises, and the sea is vast.
I am like a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean. I mourn the brevity of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. I want to travel with the fairy, and embrace the bright moon to live forever. I know that I cannot get it all at once, so I leave my echo in the sad wind.
Mortals feel lost, and immortals also have the same melancholy and emotion.
There is a song that goes: "I paddle with laurel and orchid oars, and paddle against the clear sky and follow the flowing light. My heart is filled with longing, and I look forward to the beauty in the sky..."
Although Mu Lin couldn't hear any sound, he was in a rare mood to watch the scene, so he took out his lyre and played a tune with his bare hands.
Unexpectedly, the female guest had such a refined taste. The old immortal and Song Ze could not help but lean over to watch. After the song was finished, although a few notes were wrong, it did not affect the beauty of the sound of the piano at all.
Mu Lin put away the zither and looked down. Xiao Xilan had curled up in her arms and fallen asleep. Mu Lin caressed her back lovingly and sang a lullaby softly. What kind of child would leave his parents and wander around with his master just a few months after birth
At this time, Song Ze came out of the cabin and heard Mu Lin humming a lullaby. He stood aside for a while and then handed her a piece of paper with the words "It is windy at night and it is easy to catch a cold. Madam, would you like to take your daughter to the cabin to sleep for a while?"
Mu Lin: “…”
Madam? Your daughter? Does she look like Xilan's mother? No, does she look like a married woman with children
Song Ze seemed to sense a murderous aura and couldn't help shivering. The bow was just too cold, and he looked at Mu Lin with concern, worried that the mother and daughter would be frozen.
Mu Lin said calmly: "Can't you see that my master and I are cultivators? How can we be afraid of the cold?"
Seeing that Song Ze was shivering from the cold, Mu Lin couldn't bear it anymore and used a warming spell on him.
"S-Sorry, thank you husband... ah no, girl." Song Ze stammered, then he remembered that Mu Lin couldn't hear him. He was about to write it down on the paper, but Mu Lin had guessed what he meant and waved at him: "No thanks, you can go back to the cabin, there will be no problem for us, the master and the disciple."
Song Ze went back feeling a little disappointed.
