After dinner, Mu Qingxiao and the others returned to the West Court in satisfaction. After a day of traveling, everyone was a little tired.
Zeng Shushu laughed and said, "Let's rest here tonight. I asked the boss. In an hour, there will be a fireworks show at the entrance of the restaurant. There will be free supper. If you're interested, let's go together."
Mu Qingxiao shook his head slightly and said, "Forget about the fireworks show. We still have to hurry to Kongsang Mountain tomorrow. We might run into enemies at any time. It's better to rest early and conserve energy."
"Junior Brother Mu is right. We can't lose the big picture for the small. Let's rest early." Zhang Xiaofan agreed. Zeng Shushu touched his nose awkwardly. Lu XueQi glared at Mu Qingxiao and slammed the door.
Lin JingYu said, "Xiaofan, rest well tonight. I'll leave first."
Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. If he did not know that Zhang Xiaofan liked women, he would have thought that they were gay friends.
After Lin JingYu and Zeng Shushu left, Zhang Xiaofan took out the Six Harmonies Mirror and said, "Junior Brother Mu, you helped me win the Seven Peak Martial Arts Competition. This is what you promised."
Mu Qingxiao did not take the Six Harmonies Mirror. Thinking that Zhang Xiaofan did not have the Blood Devouring Bead, he might as well give it to him as a life-saving treasure. After all, he had no use for it.
If Zhang Xiaofan died, it would cause a butterfly effect.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you can keep the Six Harmonies Mirror. It can save your life if you encounter danger. This treasure is not of much help to me."
"How... how can I do that? Back then..."
"Alright, alright. You're a man. Why are you nagging like a girl? If you don't want it, just throw it away." Mu Qingxiao waved his hand and turned to leave.
...
...
It was late at night. Looking up at the sky, it was full of stars and a bright full moon hung on the horizon. The night breeze carried a faint fragrance.
Mu Qingxiao sighed. Could the wives on Earth also see the same beautiful scenery?
Mu Qingxiao tossed aside the distracting thoughts in her mind and muttered, "Sad Heart Flower, that girl's identity is obvious. I just didn't expect to meet her so soon. I don't know if the plot will change."
The path was winding and deep, leading to an unknown place ahead. Grass and shrubs grew on both sides of the path, and flowers of all colors bloomed. A gentle breeze brushed past, bringing with it a slight chill.
Suddenly, Mu Qingxiao stopped in her tracks. She raised her head and saw a young girl in green standing under the moonlight. Her skin was as white as snow, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.
The young girl sensed that someone had come and put away the flowers in her hand. She turned around and stared at Mu Qingxiao with her big bright eyes. "Hey, what's your name? Why are you here so late at night?"
"Admiring flowers in the middle of the night, miss. You're in such a good mood. My name is Mu Qingxiao. As for why I'm here, I don't think it has anything to do with you."
The young girl was a little angry. "... Why are you so rude? You used your vulgar eyes to look at me, and now you're here. Did you follow me here? Are you a legendary stalker?"
Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. She was too narcissistic. I was just looking at the sad flowers. How did I look at you? I did plan to steal something, but it wasn't you!
I just happened to pass by here. Who knew that you would come here to admire flowers in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
"Miss, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." With that, Mu Qingxiao prepared to leave.
After a few steps, a woman with a veil over her face walked over. It was the Golden Core cultivator who had been sitting with the young girl just now. However, her purple dress had been replaced with a black silk dress. In the hazy night, she was like a ghost.
Mu Qingxiao only glanced at her, but the veiled woman's delicate body trembled. Her face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat slid down her forehead.
From beginning to end, Mu Qingxiao had only glanced at her. The veiled woman didn't say a word. She just stood there stiffly, watching the handsome young man leave.
Only when Mu Qingxiao's figure disappeared into the night did her tense heartstrings relax. She took a few deep breaths of fresh air and revealed a frightened expression.
What kind of gaze was that? It was like a monarch looking at her as if she was an ant. She didn't even dare to breathe. Even when facing the Ghost King, she had never lost her composure like this. Just who was that young man? How could he be so terrifying?
After a long time, she returned to her senses and discovered that she was covered in cold sweat. She helplessly walked into the depths of the garden. Soon, she saw the green-clothed young girl. She was still standing there, playing with a flower in her hand.
The green-clothed young girl raised her head. She wasn't surprised. She smiled and said, "Youyi, you've returned."
The veiled woman glanced at the flower in her hand. Her veil moved and she nodded slightly.
"I've already investigated carefully. Those five people are all disciples of the Qing Yun Sect." Her voice reverberated in the depths of the garden, deep and serene. Although it was gentle, it carried a trace of ghostly Qi.
"Although they're all disciples of the Qing Yun Men, they're all new faces that I've never seen before. It seems that they're all from the younger generation. Also, if you encounter that handsome young man, remember not to provoke him. Do you understand?"
When she mentioned Mu Qingxiao, Youyi's eyes flashed with an almost undetectable trace of fear.
The green-clothed young girl was somewhat confused. Just who was that young man? How could he make Youyi's expression change? Although she was curious, she still obediently responded.
"Mm, I understand. That young man who just passed by is called Mu Qingxiao. What a strange name."
The veiled woman glanced at her and said seriously, "Remember, don't provoke him no matter what … BiYao, I haven't seen you admiring flowers in a long time."
.....
.....
After leaving the garden, Mu Qingxiao didn't stay for long. Instead, he went to the leftmost room in the west garden and lightly knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Immediately, a cold and pleasant voice came from the room.
"XueQi, it's me."
The room was silent for a moment. Then, with a creak, the door opened. Lu XueQi had already changed out of her white robes. Her wet hair exuded a delicate fragrance. The water stains on it had yet to disperse. It was obvious that she had just taken a bath.
Sniffing the delicate fragrance in the air, Mu Qingxiao pushed the door open and entered without hesitation. Lu XueQi pressed against the door, but she wasn't as strong as him. She couldn't stop him at all.
Seeing that his expression was as calm as ever, Lu XueQi was almost angered to death. Did he really think that this was his own room? This hooligan was already perverted. Coming to her room in the middle of the night, he definitely didn't have good intentions.
Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty for barging into her room in the middle of the night. She looked outside and hurriedly closed the door. She didn't know when, but a pair of large hands were already on her waist.
