smile to heart

=====================

It was already late at night when I returned to the villa. After Luo Qingchen left, Mu Yun was always thinking about why this old friend who seemed to have friendship with everyone around him always had to be hostile to him?During the martial arts competition, he was almost too tight, thinking repeatedly about Luo Qingchen's friendship with Mu Xi, and his brotherhood with Qi Zhong, but he didn't want the other party to reveal his murderous intentions in every move.

The inexplicable embarrassment made him unwilling to have too much doubt.I'm afraid of guessing that there will be another hurtful truth in the end.

Mu Yun kept his head down and thought hard, and when he walked back to the courtyard outside the wing room, he didn't notice that there was a person waiting for him standing under the eaves.

"Jing Yao, what's wrong with you? You look preoccupied..."

Seeing that he was still walking absent-mindedly since he entered the door, Mu Xi couldn't help being concerned that he hadn't noticed himself.

"Ah. Cousin..." Mu Yun was slightly surprised.Immediately, he realized that he must have been waiting for a long time, "I'm sorry, I came back late."

"It's okay. The moonlight is stronger on your side, I like it very much."

Mu Xi smiled gently, walked down the steps slowly, walked up to him, and comforted him, "Why did you lose your mind just now? Could it be that the task of the Immortal Venerable is too heavy, making you feel too much pressure?"

"No...uh, yes. But I can still adjust myself, so my cousin doesn't have to worry too much."

Sighing, Mu Xi thought it was rare to see Mu Yun revealing his heart like this, so he believed it more, smoothed his long hair along his shoulders, and said in a gentle voice: "When you go out, take good care of yourself, don't hurt yourself too much..."

"Huh? Why are there so many petals in your hair? I was just wondering where the tung flower fragrance came from."

Hearing this, Mu Yun hurriedly took a step back, with a calm expression on his face: "I just went out to the suburbs just now, maybe I accidentally got it on the way back."

Mu Xi was familiar with his habits, saw his slight nervousness, pondered for a while, and asked with a smile: "With whom?"

Lowering his eyes, Mu Yun twisted his fingers and said calmly, "Qi Zhong."

Mu Xi was silent for a while, then asked lightly: "Then why did you get angry? Got into a fight?"

Having said that, Mu Yun became more aware that Mu Xi didn't know, and that Luo Qingchen's so-called excuse of being taught had nothing to do with Mu Xi at all... He was faintly angry, and his palms at the bottom of his sleeves could not help but clenched.

He felt sorry for his cousin being so deceived.

"Brother Qi wants to learn martial arts with me..." Mu Yun replied helplessly.

Mu Xi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Sighing: "You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go for a walk with your cousin and have a heart-to-heart talk?"

"Okay." Mu Yun replied without thinking.

The moonlight was bright, and the two walked to the gazebo. The sequence of locust trees was not exhausted, and there was still a faint fragrance of the remnant lotus. The wind blew across their faces, refreshing and comfortable.But they couldn't get rid of their respective seriousness.

……

The lights in the attic were still bright.

Luo Qingchen pondered for a long time, and then ordered: "Xi Yan, what do you think is the purpose of Feng Mei's trip with them?"

"It's a matter of divine consciousness."

"But I heard from Fang Yanxiao that he arrived in Cangzhou one step ahead of Mu Yun and others, and met later. Could it be that he already knew the whereabouts of his consciousness? It just happened to coincide with the path of these people?"

Xi Yan thought for a moment, and then said: "Master, you should make a good plan now, Fang Yueshi failed to assassinate today, we will be counterattacked by Fengmei."

Luo Qingchen raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry. If he provokes me, Fang Yanxiao will definitely not sit idly by. After Feng Mei knew Fang Yanxiao's murderous intentions, but she was able to save her life, it shows that he has no regard for us. The determination to kill."

"But, does it do him any good?"

Luo Qingchen laughed again: "Because Feng Mei prides herself on being upright, so she really hopes to use pale truths to influence the evil. Hmph, it's all ignorance."

The master and servant talked for a long time, and the color of dawn had already appeared outside the window.Luo Qingchen said in his heart that it was not early, and it was time for today's new play to be staged.

The two had just left the attic when they suddenly heard a roar from the ground.

Luo Qingchen turned around vigilantly, with a serious expression: "What's going on? Someone broke into the secret room."

……

Feng Mei managed to break out of the mirror trap, but saw Qi Zhong covering his mouth and nose, rushing out from the other side of the fire.The two meet again.

"What did you do?" he asked.

Qi Zhong shook his head and coughed: "I'm looking for you. Who knew there was a mechanism inside, I accidentally stepped on it and exploded."

"Oh, make such a big noise, we'll be thieves when someone finds us. Let's go!"

Feng Mei tugged at his back collar, and couldn't help but run towards the other side of the path.

Luo Qingchen angrily went down the secret passage, and was about to find out, when he arrived, he found that his secret room had been destroyed horribly, and he was furious.

Little did they know, the murderer had missed him just now without any risk, and was in another secret passage facing each other.

"Master calm down."

Luo Qingchen closed his eyes, held back his anger, and ordered: "Check, check for me! Who did it!"

Xi Yan stepped back hastily: "Yes."

On the other side, after running all the way, Feng Mei brought Qi Zhong back to her own room, then threw it away, walked to the table, and calmly drank tea.

He was a little angry, he knew that he shouldn't have brought such a bad guy like Qi Zhong there.

Rubbing his shoulders, Qi Zhong shook his head, still a little unconscious: "Hmm..."

Feng Mei glanced at him, and handed him a cup of refreshment tea: "Drink quickly. After drinking, go back to your own room. What happened last night must not be revealed to anyone."

Qi Zhong frowned, and said hesitantly: "But we destroyed Brother Luo's secret room, so why don't we tell him and admit our mistakes?"

"Admit that you go by yourself. When the time comes, you will be kicked out, but don't blame me for not reminding you."

Feng Mei said unhappily.

Qi Zhong kept silent, and couldn't think of any way to deal with this matter for a while.

Feng Mei said again: "Don't be too burdened, I don't know how to get the things in his secret room..."

"But..." Qi finally wanted to refute something.

A few anxious shouts came from outside the house: "Master Medical Saint, Sir Medical Saint..."

Qi Zhong noticed that he was diverted, and he said in surprise: "It's Sister's voice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Mei was one step ahead of him and went to open the door.

As soon as Fang Yanxiao entered the door, she panicked and said, "Master Medical Sage, go and save people quickly."

"Save who?" Qi Zhong walked to the door.

Fang Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, her life was at stake, and she couldn't ask why Qi Zhong was here, she just said: "Yes, it's Mr. Yuan Qian, he suddenly collapsed, and now he is unconscious, his voice is weak... "

"How could this happen! Yuan Qian!"

Hearing the bad news, Qi Zhong was the first to rush out the door.

Feng Mei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fang Yanxiao's expression coldly, and felt that she didn't seem to be directing and acting herself, so she withdrew her suspicious gaze and said lightly, "Lead the way quickly."

……

The east is white, and the morning light is cool.

In the lotus pond, there was a wave of water.Before they knew it, the two of Mu Yun chatted until dawn.

"Ha. It's dawn."

Mu Xi looked up at the golden dawn and relaxed her mind a little.

Mu Yun stared at the surface of the water, watching a few water spiders keep swimming, making shallow water ripples.

"Cousin, I didn't dare to ask you one thing last night."

Mu Xi turned around and said with a faint smile, "What's the matter? Between brothers, you don't need to see each other, just ask."

Mu Yun hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was an offense to his brother's privacy, and repeatedly looked for the right place.But thinking that the safety of his relatives might be more important than this, he raised his head and asked bluntly, "I want to know, you and Luo..."

"Young Master Mu Yun, Young Master Mu Xi..."

The questioning was abruptly interrupted by an anxious cry.

The two turned their heads and saw a maidservant from Huayue Villa hurrying over, their expressions flustered.

"Miss Ying'er, why are you so flustered?"

Mu Xi recognized her face and stepped forward to greet her.

"You two young masters, Miss Fang and Master Medical Saint let me tell you..."

The servant girl informed the original words one by one, and both of them turned down when they learned of Yuan Qian's accident.

Mu Yun was the first to tense up, and after bidding farewell to Mu Xi, he went straight to the patient's room to meet everyone.

Hurriedly entering the door, Mu Yun saw Qi Zhong who was full of worry, and Tang Xun who was treating Yuan Qian.Everyone's mood was a little low, and the room was full of depressed sadness.

"You came."

Qi Zhong noticed Mu Yun's figure, moved his steps, and stood in front of him, feeling a little relieved and relaxed.

"Well. How's the situation?"

"I don't know, the Second Patriarch Tang is still treating... I hope nothing will happen."

At this time, Luo Qingchen and Mu Xi appeared outside the door again.Out of the etiquette of the host, Luo Qingchen took the initiative to ask the reason of the matter.

After a while, Feng Mei came out with a stern expression, and everyone surrounded her, wanting to ask for details.

Feng Mei frowned, glanced coldly at Luo Qingchen and Fang Yanxiao, and then replied: "His mental illness has worsened, and his life is already at the brink of death. For the present plan, there are only two ways, one One is to get back his lost soul and two souls immediately, and the other is to obtain a certain medicine to cure the disease and prolong life, and then return to the soul within three months to recover."

Hearing the bad news, Qi Zhong couldn't hold back his anger and was extremely distressed. He held on to Feng Mei's sleeve tightly and begged, "Master Medical Sage, what medicine do you need? Tell me, and I'll go find it right away."

Feng Mei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yanxuelian. A kind of spiritual plant that grows in extreme cold and extreme flames. As long as you can gather this medicine, I will have a way to make it into a life-saving panacea. "

"Such a bad boundary, it should be hard to find in Dijiang." Min Zhi added.

Feng Mei nodded: "Yes. So you have to be mentally prepared. Without medicine, I will be powerless."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong was a little dizzy, and asked Mu Yun again: "You, haven't you read a lot of travel notes? You should know where this kind of place is, right?"

Mu Yun looked embarrassed, he shook his head, and said dejectedly: "I, I'm sorry, Brother Qi. I've never heard of this kind of boundary."

"How? Even you can't help it..."

There was a dead silence.

Luo Qingchen thought for a moment, and said frankly: "Maybe I can provide you with a map, and there is a place on it that has the same characteristics as the medical sage said."

"Ah. Brother Luo, where is the place you mentioned?"

Qi Zhong questioned, took the road view map in his hand, and read aloud: "Flame and Coolness Intermittent Tianxinyuan."

Hearing the name of the place, Fang Yanxiao stared at Luo Qingchen with wide eyes, shocked and furious, he actually wanted to use this method to kill Qi Zhong and the others.

Luo Qingchen pondered for a moment, pretending to be kind and reminded: "The place where the heat is equally divided between the cool and the cold is like an endless purgatory. If you go to Tianxinyuan, first of all, you have to risk an avalanche at any time and climb over the snowy mountains. If you don’t want to plant, you have to pull the roots from the crater on the top of the snow with your bare hands, and if you make a mistake, you will be torn apart by the two extremes of heat and cold, and you will die endlessly.”

Mu Xi looked around at the dignified expressions of everyone, and began to worry about Mu Yun's intentions, and even worried that he would do anything out of loyalty.

Fengmei had already seen through Luo Qingchen's thoughts, but she couldn't just leave him alone, so she had to remind him: "Then you all make a decision as soon as possible, I can only guarantee his life for three days."

Fang Yanxiao watched him pass by her, leaving such a fluffy sentence, she was shocked and disappointed.

She cast her eyes on Qi Zhong again, does she really want her brother to take risks?She didn't want to, and stepped forward to persuade: "Qi brother, this place is dangerous, you can't go!"

Qi Zhong remained silent the whole time, not hesitating, but thinking of saying goodbye, he was ready to go, now he could not bear to listen to Fang Yanxiao's persuasion.Many friends and relatives, how can you just give up.

While hesitating, Mu Yun grabbed the map and said firmly, "I'll go. Just wait here."

"Jing Yao!" The thing Mu Xi was most worried about happened, and he said sullenly, "Think twice!"

Mu Yun patted the back of his hand and said with a relaxed smile, "Don't worry, cousin. I will return safely."

"I'll go with you." Qi Zhong knew that Mu Yun's decision could not be persuaded once he said it, so he simply went with him.

Fang Yanxiao was worried about her younger brother's safety and didn't care about anything else, so she said, "I'll go too."

Seeing that everyone was risking their lives, Min Zhi also said seriously: "Add me."

"You..." Qi finally couldn't bear them to take risks, and was about to persuade them.

But Luo Qingchen stepped forward and urged: "It's not too late, the most important thing is to save people, you have more people, the chances of winning are better, go and come back quickly."

"You!" With his back to the crowd, Mu Xi glared at him angrily, and let out a low shout.

Luo Qingchen glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said innocently: "Don't worry. I will take good care of Yuan Qian for you."

"Thank you, Brother Luo."

With no time to think about it, a few people walked out quickly.

Luo Qingchen stroked his long hair behind his ears, and thought casually. He thought that Fang Yanxiao's initiative to propose to go was to cause trouble secretly, and get rid of them together when they were in danger.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingchen was satisfied and relieved, whether everyone will go away forever, on the surface it depends on God's will, but in fact it depends on his own will.Since he has some scruples about removing a powerful enemy with his own hands, it is better to leave it to the heavens to decide.

Mu Xi pushed him with a palm and snorted coldly, "If something happened to Jingyao on this trip, I will never let you go."

Luo Qingchen raised his eyes lazily, and said casually: "They are going by themselves, have I forced them?"

"You..." Mu Xi was speechless, and flung her sleeves away.

It just so happened that Feng Mei came in with the medicine, the two of them were not familiar with each other, so they hurriedly passed each other.

"Lord Luo, what a great trick. Using a dying man's bet to buy out so many lives, this trick is really poisonous."

He was sarcastic.Luo Qingchen denied it with a displeased face.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. My lord, don't talk nonsense, so as not to hurt your friendship."

Feng Mei snorted coldly: "If you do all the bad things, you will be punished by the gods. Let's do it ourselves."

"Oh? God's punishment? Haha, it's so funny. You know, my lord doctor, I haven't done a bad thing before, but the sky still doesn't allow me. Do I still believe your words now?" Luo Qingchen retorted.

Feng Mei didn't want to argue with him: "Believe it or not is up to you. Heaven is always fair."

"Humph."

Watching Fengmei enter the house, Luo Qingchen opened the folding fan and went out with ease, but his heart was aching from the sadness of memories.
