"The Peach Blossom Gongzi is better." Li Muyang did not wait for Song Chenxi's answer, so he braced himself to answer the shameless question. "I became famous for painting peach blossoms, so I had the nickname Peach Blossom Gongzi. The Peach Blossom Gongzi refers to my talent, while Chenyu Muyang focuses on appearance — — In contrast, I think the Peach Blossom Gongzi is more low-key. I hope that when people scold me, they will say 'that damn dragon's painting is pretty good', and not 'that dragon is just good-looking'. "
"Besides, I'm a nostalgic person, the Peach Blossom Gongzi has been used for a long time, I'm not willing to abandon it easily — —"
"I know." Song Chenxi suddenly jumped up from the lakeside, pointing to Li Muyang. "I know why those fish sank — —"
"You know?"
"You're a dragon, right?"
"You can't say that — —"
"Dragons have dragon power. Those little fish and shrimps suddenly had a glimpse of dragon power, how could they not tremble in fear, not dare to run away, not dare to swim, and could only stupidly sink — — "
"— —" Li Muyang was speechless. This girl was quite clever, but what he used was not dragon power, but dragon qi. Releasing a little dragon qi, these little fish and shrimps were so scared that they peed their pants. If he were to use the dragon power of a deity, would the Sunset Lake not be boiling? If he were to use the scene of thousands of carps facing the dragon again, although it would look very shocking, and would give him face in front of the girls — — What if it alarmed others?
"They won't be scared to death, right?" Song Chenxi began to pity the little fish and shrimps that were 'struck' by Li Muyang's beauty. "Their liver and gallbladder are broken, they can't come back to life?"
"No, no." Li Muyang pointed to the lake, injecting a stream of spiritual qi into the water, and the little fish and shrimps that had sunk to the bottom immediately became active. They glanced fearfully at Li Muyang, then turned and swam towards the centre of the Sunset Lake.
These fish and shrimps had been enlightened by the Dragon King, their mind was clear, and they had gained a hundred years of life.
"That's good." Song Chenxi smiled and said, "Those little fishes and shrimps are also alive, if they die just because they look at you, how pitiful would that be?"
"…" Li Muyang really wanted to smack her butt.
What do you mean by dying from a single glance? Do I look that scary? Do you know how lucky it is for them to be able to look at me? Their ancestors must have burned incense on their graves … if their ancestors hadn't been eaten by humans.
"I don't know how Sister Xiaoxin is doing." Song Chenxi suddenly said with emotion.
Li Muyang pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone has their own choice. She chose to be with her family and relatives, so we should also fulfill her wish … In Tiandu, the old man is presiding over the overall situation, so the Cui family should not be wronged too much. At least she won't be wronged. "
This was also the reason why Li Muyang was willing to let Cui Xiaoxin stay in Tiandu with her parents and family. Because now Tiandu, and even the entire West Wind Kingdom, was almost controlled by his ruthless and black-hearted grandfather. No matter what kind of thoughts he had towards the Cui family, and whether or not he acted as vigorously as he did in front of Cui Xichen, at least he would not do anything to Cui Xiaoxin. Why make things difficult for a weak and pitiful girl?
"I'm the best, I'm alone, I can go anywhere." Song Chenxi said with a smile. But this smile was not happy at all, there was sadness, bitterness, and deep worry.
Whether it was the West Wind Royal family or the old man, they would not let the Song clan escape, and the pursuit of them had not ended. They were too aware of the influence of the Song clan in the minds of the world's scholars. Many of those who escaped were the Song clan's scholars. Including the Dean of Westwind University and others.
As long as they were given a little chance, they might be able to rise from the ashes. This was obviously not in line with the interests of those court officials who were in a killing frenzy.
However, from the beginning to the end, Song Chenxi did not mention a word to Li Muyang, and did not beg him to help her family.
This girl — — sometimes her mind was as pure as a piece of white paper, and sometimes she was as wise and intelligent as a little demon.
"Do you want — —"
"No need." Song Chenxi interrupted Li Muyang's words. "If you were the loser, the one being chased, they would not let you go because of anyone's plea."
"But — —" Li Muyang looked into Song Chenxi's eyes. "You did not give up because of this."
When the Song clan was powerful and Li Muyang was being chased by the entire divine continent, Song Chenxi had always stood firmly on his side.
Even in the end, she was worried that he would be killed by his grandfather, and did not hesitate to sacrifice her own life to protect Li Muyang — —
"Muyang — —"
"I have written a letter back to Tiandu." Li Muyang said with a smile. He was not going to tell Song Chenxi about this, because he felt it was too shameful, but he could not bear to see her so depressed.
"He owes me." Li Muyang thought for a moment, and then added confidently.
"Muyang, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? We're all on the same side. You also helped me before. "Li Muyang said with a smile. "By the way, am I not painting 'Sunset Lake'? Why did I come out? "
"Ah, I almost forgot — — your mother is calling you home for dinner."
"Your mother is calling you home for dinner — —"
The corners of Li Muyang's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.
How nice, when he was playing outside, his mother Luo Chi also told Li Shinian to look for him to come home for dinner — —
With such a simple sentence, Li Muyang felt that his choice to settle in Jiangnan was the right one.

Tiandu. The Cui family's mansion.
The Cui family's mansion, which used to be awe-inspiring, was tightly surrounded by the Flying feather army. The generals in embroidered feather uniforms glanced left and right, pointing at the vermilion red door, waiting for the order from their superiors to enter and search the house.
The Cui family, the huge family that used to be greeted by Xiaoxin at the door, had unexpectedly fallen to such a state that they had to use them to search the house — —
It was a wonderful feeling!
Song Gudu's death, the entire Song family was almost killed, and the remnants were being pursued and annihilated — —
At this point, the Royal family of West Wind had no choice but to convict them of the crime of treason.
The Song family, intended to rebel, was reported and exposed by Cui Xichen of the Cui family, and was ordered by the Emperor to personally encircle and annihilate the traitors to atone for their crimes — —
Lu Xingkong and the Royal family of West Wind seemed to have done nothing, leaving the Cui family at the forefront.
The Song family was destroyed, the good reputation that had been accumulated for thousands of years was destroyed. They were forever nailed to the pillar of shame for the crime of treason.
"To think that the Song family would rebel, we have trusted them for so many years — —"
"The Song family has hundreds of officials and thousands of military officers, the world only knows of the Song family but not Chu. There are also people who say 'Song and Chu share the world', it is reasonable for them to rebel — —"
"The Song family will die a horrible death — —"
※ ※ ※
Of course, there were also people who did not trust the judgment of the Imperial Court, and stood up to say a few good words for the Song family.
"The Song family has been established for thousands of years, since the beginning of West Wind, there was the Song family — — What the Song family has always done is to disseminate knowledge, educate the people, and is the role model of the world's scholars, how could they do such a stupid thing as treason?"
The people who said such remarks were quickly pushed out and executed.
The Cui family originally had a close relationship with the Song family, and had contributed a lot when the Song family suppressed the imperial power. But because Cui Xichen's eyes were sharp and his reaction speed was too fast, as soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he was the first to jump out and raise the butcher's knife against the Song family.
Then Cui Xichen went to plead with Lu Xingkong, self-destructing his cultivation base to show the Royal family that he had no other intentions, and also removed his ability to resist. This saved the Cui family from the same fate as the Song family.
However, the death penalty could be avoided, but punishment was inevitable.
The people of the Cui family could not be killed, but they must be punished. In particular, the people of the Cui family were now in the imperial court and had high status and power. Now that other people were in power, how could they continue to sit in that position?
His trusted aides were purged and quickly replaced with people close to Lu Xingkong, the Royal family or other high-ranking families. For example, the Yan family had benefited greatly from this purge.
As for the people of the Cui family, except for Cui Xichen, the adult men were sent to the border of West Wind. Moreover, they would be sent to different places, and perhaps it would be difficult for them to return to Tiandu in their lifetime.
The Cui family accepted the imperial decree and expressed their gratitude. If it were not for Lu Xingkong's words, most likely the entire family would have been slaughtered. Just like the Song family, after rounds of killing, how many seedlings would be left?
The struggle in the imperial court was the most vicious and cruel war in the world!
The commander of the Flying Feather Army, Zhao Dexiang, was a member of the Zhao clan. The Zhao clan was not a top family of West Wind, but because they were related by marriage to the Chu clan, a woman of the Zhao clan married into the imperial family as a concubine, so they could be considered to be related to the Emperor. The people of the Zhao clan had always clung to the thigh of the Chu clan and were deeply trusted by the Chu clan. This time, after purging the rebels of the Song and Cui clan, King Hui naturally replaced the commander of his guards with his trusted Zhao Dexiang.
"General, it's time, should we go in and search?" A general came up to Zhao Dexiang and asked with a fawning expression.
Zhao Dexiang nodded. "Knock on the door."
"Yes. General. "The general answered and was about to rush forward and knock on the door.
"Wait — —" Zhao Dexiang called out. "Let Cui Xichen bring the men of the Cui clan out to greet — —"
The general was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood the General's intention, smiled and said, "Understood. Cui Xichen is a sinner, he naturally needs to come out to greet General in person. "
Creak — —
Without waiting for the general to knock on the door, the vermilion door of the Cui clan was automatically pushed open from the inside.
Clad in a grey robe and with a head full of white hair, Cui Xichen walked at the forefront, followed by dozens of adult men of the Cui clan. Led by Cui Xichen, they stepped out of the main door, bowed to the commander of the Flying Feather Army, Zhao Dexiang, and said in a loud and clear voice, "The sinner Cui Xichen and the Cui clan respectfully welcome General Zhao, respectfully welcome the Flying Feather Army."
Zhao Dexiang rode on horseback, looking down at Cui Xichen, who was as towering as a mountain in front of him before and did not even dare to look him in the eye. At this moment he felt refreshed, as if he owned the whole world.
"Is this how you greet a superior officer?" Zhao Dexiang looked up at the sky, squeezing out these words from his nasal cavity.
"Still not kneeling down?" The general next to him glared at him and was about to press Cui Xichen to the ground.
