"As I expected..."
In fact, when Mu Xin mentioned in his first letter that he had accepted a closed disciple, Chu Tianxiao already had some doubts.
What is a "closing disciple"? When a master accepts this disciple and does not accept any more disciples in this life, this last disciple is called a "closing disciple".
So the question is, Mu Xin is only in his twenties this year, and the several apprentices he accepted before have ruled out the possibility that he doesn't like to accept apprentices, so... How talented must someone be to make him, who is so picky, decide on a "closed disciple" at this age? And how talented must he be to be able to do that
So... Mr. Right is the most reasonable possibility!
"Sure enough, Mu Xin's continuous provocations, in addition to greed for profit, may also be caused by someone's 'instigation'..."
"Well... the last disciple was persecuted, his inner demons were born, his life span was shortened, and he could not live past the age of twenty... How could such a great vengeance not be avenged? Hey, Qin Yun must have sold a pitiful hand, and Mu Xin was self-righteous and wanted to be a 'good master', so he wanted to use the enemy's things to save his disciple. Isn't this a good scenario? Well, if you add in helping the disciple defeat the enemy, his thoughts will be clear again, all the inner demons will be dissipated, and the terminal illness will be cured without medicine because of the return of luck... Hey, that scenario is simply perfect."
Chu Tianxiao looked at the two words "Qin Yun" that were heavily outlined with a knife's edge visible, thinking with some evil taste, and gradually, a sneer of contempt appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Muxin, you are... an idiot."
"You didn't even know that your destined prince was playing you around like a fool, and you're still the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty... Do you really think that your destined prince, who has an old grandfather, would rely on you, the so-called 'master'? You're really being sold out and still helping him count money..."
Chu Tianxiao was cold in his heart: "And Qin Yun... You are quite capable. I have made you so desperate, but you have managed to get another big shot so quickly... But, that's it."
"The March appointment is being held earlier? That's exactly what I want. I'm worried about the main mission II, and I don't know when it will be completed! Since you've sent me warmth and love from afar, how can I not accept it?"
"This time, once you come, you really can't leave! Good-for-nothing, Mr. Right, it's time for us to put an end to this!"
Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao handed the letter of challenge to Mu Liuling. After reading it, her hands trembled slightly...
Although she had a premonition in the lookout that she would soon face Qin Yun, she did not expect it to happen so soon. Unprepared, the terrifying shadow of that year loomed over her heart again...
Qin Yun is back, he is back to kill...
Mu Liuling's hands holding the letter of challenge trembled even more violently. Seeing this, Zhou Fu sneered and said sarcastically, "Some women have no vision at all. They think that my junior brother has been a waste for three years and will always be a waste? What a pity. You could have gotten a husband with great talent, but now you have become enemies. It's really... You reap what you sow!"
Zhou Fu looked at the slightly trembling Mu Liuling, and did not hesitate to ridicule and speak hurtfully.
"Are you scared? Are you regretting it? From the day you came to cancel the engagement, you should have expected this day to come! Junior brother said it well, things change over time, don't look down on the young and poor!"
Hearing this, Mu Liuling's heart trembled, but at this moment, a warm hand rested on her shoulder.
"Young Master..."
Mu Liuling turned to look at Chu Tianxiao, and saw him smile slightly, cast an encouraging look at him, and said softly: "Liuling, don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Mu Liuling felt as comfortable as if she were soaking in a hot spring. The fear and coldness that she had felt because of Qin Yun's accumulated power disappeared without a trace. Her heart sweetened and she thought warmly: Yes, what is there to be afraid of
I am not alone...
"Qin Yun... I won't be afraid of you anymore!"
"I... must not bring shame to the young master!"
Listening to Chu Tianxiao's gentle words and looking at his encouraging eyes, Mu Liuling felt relieved. Then she closed her beautiful eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, the last trace of confusion, hesitation, and fear in her eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by incomparable determination...
"As for what happened back then, who was right and who was wrong, everyone knows it. I won't go into details, I'll just talk about this battle."
Mu Liuling looked at Zhou Fu and said calmly.
"As he wishes, I accept this battle."
"Time and place, you guys, whatever you want."
The last eight words were spoken with great confidence, which made Chu Tianxiao nod slightly, thinking to himself, Liu Ling, you didn't let me down after all... And Zhou Fu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Chu Tianxiao only said one sentence, and Mu Liuling would become a completely different person!
Originally, Qin Yun's letter of challenge did not specify the date and location. The subtext was to let her decide. He wanted to defeat Mu Liuling in this matter. It was a psychological strategy, but he did not expect that Mu Liuling would actually do the opposite...
For a moment, Zhou Fu didn't know how to answer, and could only say in his usual arrogant tone: "Well, since you have accepted the challenge, then don't regret it at the last minute! Wait, before tomorrow, the details of this battle will spread throughout Kyoto, and my junior brother will definitely trample you under his feet in front of all the people in Kyoto!"
Hearing this, Mu Liuling said calmly, "I'll wait."
"Hmph!" Zhou Fu snorted coldly and looked at Chu Tianxiao, "And you, Chu Tianxiao, do you know where my senior brother is now? There is something I think it's time to tell you, your mother..."
Before he finished speaking, the crowd suddenly parted, with two rows of people standing on the left and right, and then a beautiful figure stumbled forward! A beautiful woman arrived in an instant, rushed to Chu Tianxiao's side, and in public, she took him into her arms without caring about anything, and wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief...
"Wow, Xiao Xiaoxiao, you are so heartless. You have been away from home for so long and didn't even write me a letter. I am so worried about you. Damn Xiao Xiaoxiao, you don't even know how to understand me..."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao wanted to press his forehead, but his hands were held at the moment, and he couldn't bear to push away this funny mother, so he could only say with endless helplessness: "Mom, why do you always say this every time we separate and meet again? I have only been in Kyoto for a few days? How can I be 'away from home for so long'? Also, you asked me to write seven or eight letters a day, and I wish I could write all day long, reporting everything to you, this... Xiao'er really can't do it..."
"Nonsense! How can you not do it? You are clearly shirking responsibility. You are clearly indulging yourself in pleasure and forgetting about being your mother. Woo, Xiao Xiaoxiao, you are so heartless..."
