Outlaw

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Mu Ziyan, who was facing the door, turned around and looked at the woman who was speaking, very curious: "Who is your master?"

The woman's eyes were like water as she stared at Mu Ziyan. Her voice was cold and emotionless: "My master's identity is valuable and cannot be known by ordinary people. If you want to know my master's identity, just come with me."

The voice was not loud, but full of aloofness, and he looked like he had completely convinced Xiao Beichen and others.

Although Mu Ziyan wanted to know the identity of her master, she had experienced so many things and her mentality was relatively stable and she did not express her position. Instead, he glanced at Xiao Beichen next to him.

Obviously, for such a big matter, we still have to see what Xiao Beichen has to say.

Xiao Beichen was dissatisfied with this woman's condescending attitude, and immediately said rudely: "I will go if you ask me to?"

"I'm here to find Mr. Mu. I'm not interested in your master..."

"Li Hanyi, see the guests off!"

In one sentence, he sent this woman away.

Li Hanyi closed the door and returned to the living room: "Mr. Xiao, are you really not interested in her master?"

Xiao Beichen took a sip of tea: "I'm interested. Extremely interested."

Li Hanyi was a little confused: "Then you still reject her."

Xiao Beichen said: "Her attitude is too arrogant. If I go like this, she will inevitably think that we are easy to control. I am... making a detour."

Li Hanyi secretly admired: "She really looked like she was convinced of us just now. If we go, I'm afraid we will be at her mercy. The Star-Moon Temple is indeed too scary. It's better for us to be cautious. But in case One, if she just gets angry and leaves...then she won't have a chance to see her master. If she can't see her master, she won't be able to see Mr. Mu."

Xiao Beichen was very calm: "She came to visit me late at night as soon as I settled here. There must be something urgent. She won't leave just because of my rejection."

Li Hanyi expressed doubts: "Although what I said is correct, it is just a guess after all. How can you be so sure?"

Xiao Beichen raised three fingers and started counting.

"three."

"two."

"one."

"It's time for her to knock on the door..."

The voice just fell.

There was another knock on the door.

hiss!

Li Hanyi was shocked. Is this okay?

She went to open the door again.

I saw that the woman outside the door was still there, and her attitude had improved a lot. He walked straight into the living room and slightly cupped his hands at Xiao Beichen: "Xiao Beichen, my master invites you and the saint to come over for tea."

Sure enough, he was no longer as arrogant as before.

Xiao Beichen still had a cold expression: "Where is Mr. Mu?"

The woman said: "My master must know. If you go, you will get the answer naturally."

Xiao Beichen still didn't express his position and continued to drink tea calmly, looking indifferent.

The only sound left in the entire living room was the sound of Xiao Beichen drinking tea.

This aura is very strong.

It makes women feel uncomfortable and a bit suppressed.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen said: "Then... let's go."

call!

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her posture again: "Please."

Ah!

Xiao Beichen nodded and took Mu Ziyan out.

Li Hanyi stayed.

In case any news comes from Song Lian, someone needs to be here.

After going out, Xiao Beichen followed the woman all the way.

I saw cloisters and courtyards one after another, with blood-clad warriors patrolling at night everywhere, and they were heavily guarded.

Finally, we came to the deepest courtyard.

The woman stopped at the gate, stretched out her hand and said, "My master is inside. You go in."

call!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath, then opened the door and walked in.

The yard is very large, with pines, cypresses and bodhi trees planted in it, as well as a rockery pond, which is beautiful.

At the end of the courtyard is the hall. The door was ajar, and an oil lamp was lit inside.

Xiao Beichen walked into the hall warily.

The lights were dim.

There is a woman sitting at the desk on the left, reading a book.

This woman looked young, probably in her mid-twenties, and she was very charming. Wearing a goose-yellow tight suit, he showed off his almost perfect curves. Wearing delicate rimless glasses, her delicate and flawless facial features are reflected.

Unrivaled in elegance, gentle and elegant, intellectually noble.

It is said that beautiful women who like to read will have a special temperament about them.

This woman perfectly explains this.

Xiao Beichen looked at this woman for a long time, it was really heart-pounding.

Just when Xiao Beichen was about to speak, the woman said lightly: "Sit down."

A coffee table and two pairs of Taishi chairs moved steadily to Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan's side. Immediately afterwards, an exquisite tea set appeared on the coffee table, and it automatically started making tea.

After a while, the tea started brewing and the aroma of tea overflowed.

The teapot flew up and two cups of tea arrived. He appeared steadily beside Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan.

hiss!

Xiao Beichen took a breath of air.

This is... just follow your words!

Unparalleled magical power!

That was a magical power that Xiao Beichen couldn't even imagine.

Such a terrifying existence actually appeared in this place.

Take a seat and drink tea.

Wait quietly.

The woman was still reading and didn't pay attention to Xiao Beichen.

Until... the book in her hand turned to the last page.

She then put down the book and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan.

Xiao Beichen also saw her eyes at this moment.

It is as deep as the sea, but the ancient well has no waves.

Xiao Beichen clearly felt that what he saw was not a pair of eyes, but a surging river.

What she brings is no longer oppression, but dimensional crushing.

After a while, the woman stood up slowly, walked over slowly with her waist twisted, and sat down opposite the coffee table. He stretched out his slender hand, poured himself a cup of tea, opened his beautiful red lips, and took a sip.

A pair of eyes looked at Xiao Beichen.

"Are you Xiao Beichen?"

Xiao Beichen suppressed the shock in his heart: "Yes."

"It's okay." The woman nodded slightly.

He commented lightly on Xiao Beichen.

This evaluation... is really average.

Not even average.

Then, the woman looked at Mu Ziyan again.

This time, she looked at it for a long time.

A full half a minute.

When she looked back, she looked very disappointed: "Mu Ziyan, you are very disappointing. The saintly daughter of the Xingyue Temple has only such achievements. No wonder your grandfather was so protective of you when he came for an appointment a while ago. . If you live under the protection of others your whole life, you will never truly grow."

Xiao Beichen was unhappy: "Everyone has his own way, and not everyone wants to be the king of the world. Not everyone wants to suffer all kinds of sufferings in the world. You are not her, so why should you dictate."

Xiao Beichen spoke from his heart.

You have to bear so much and pay so much. It is so that my family and friends will suffer less and can choose their own life.

The woman shook her head and sighed: "If Mu Ziyan was a girl from an ordinary family, it would be okay for you to say this. But she is a saint of the Xingyue Temple. Her biological father narrowly escaped death, and the Xingyue Temple was also divided into three. , there is a possibility of falling apart at any time. From the moment she was born, she was destined to bear the burden of the Star-Moon Temple."

"What you said is inappropriate for Mu Ziyan."

Xiao Beichen did not refute.

Her reasons are valid.

Mu Ziyan gritted her teeth, as if thinking about what the woman said.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and dull.

Xiao Beichen changed the topic: "Where is Mr. Mu?"

The woman said: "He was hurt a little."

Xiao Beichen was a little angry: "Did you do it?"

The woman said: "His views were different from mine, and he couldn't tell the difference, so he took action. I had no choice but to suppress his energy."

Mu Ziyan didn't believe it: "I want to see grandpa."

The woman nodded: "Okay."

The moment he finished speaking, a door opened at the end of the hall.

Mu Zhengfeng walked out of it.

He was wearing a gray tunic suit and was injured. His face and body were stained in many places, and some of the wounds were still bleeding.

"grandfather!"

Mu Ziyan immediately rushed forward and threw herself into Mu Zhengfeng's arms.

When Mu Zhengfeng saw his granddaughter again, he felt inexplicable and gently stroked Mu Ziyan's head: "Hey, my good granddaughter. It's my grandfather who is incompetent. I'm sorry for you."

"Grandpa, please don't say that. Over the years, you have supported me, nurtured me, and made me grow up to be a well-educated and sensible person. It is my inability to take good care of you, and I have caused you to be implicated in everything." Mu Zi Yan's voice was hoarse and she was sobbing a little.

Once upon a time, she didn't know her identity. The feeling is not that deep.

Now that I know it, I understand that Mu Zhengfeng and his parents... have been hiding in Tibet to support themselves for so many years, and they have to face the pressure of the Star and Moon Temple.

It's not easy.

This kindness is so precious.

After a long time, the two separated. Mu Ziyan asked about Mu Zhengfeng's injuries: "Grandpa, your injury..."

After briefly greeting Xiao Beichen, Mu Zhengfeng said: "She was the one who hit her..."

"Thirteen years ago, I made an agreement with her when I took you south to Zhonghai. Not long ago, I ended the matter in Canghe, and I came as promised. But... things were not as good as I imagined."

Xiao Beichen couldn't help but ask: "What agreement?"

Eh!

Mu Zhengfeng sighed: "If I have the ability to stop her, she will not interfere with the rest of Zi Yan's life. If I can't stop her... then she will have the final say."

"It's just that I didn't expect that she, who was a girl thirteen years ago, would grow to such a terrifying stage."

At the end of the story, Mu Zhengfeng himself felt funny.

stop?

How can a grain of sand stop a huge flood?

Mu Ziyan looked at Mu Zhengfeng and then at the woman: "How old was she thirteen years ago?"

Mu Zhengfeng said bitterly: "That year, you were only nine years old. And she was only twelve years old. She was a little girl at the time, and I didn't take her seriously. I made this agreement. Who would have thought that ten years ago? Today, three years later, she has..."

"Hey, it's all because of my incompetence as a grandpa. I've lived in vain for more than ten years. I haven't made any progress at all."

After saying that, Mu Zhengfeng was dejected and full of self-blame.

From beginning to end, I blamed myself, not this woman.

At this time, the woman spoke: "Mu Zhengfeng, I agree, if you lose, you have no reason to stop me. Let Mu Ziyan come with me."

Mu Zhengfeng's mouth was dry and his forehead was sweating.

I really want to say something, but I don’t know how to say it.

Yes, he is not qualified to stop it.

"I don't agree!" Xiao Beichen suddenly said.

The woman glanced at Xiao Beichen: "You are not Mu Ziyan's friend, so what qualifications do you have to stop her."

Xiao Beichen raised his head, stared at the woman, and spoke each word through his teeth: "She is my woman! No one can control her life. What she does or does not do is entirely up to her. Anyone can decide , you can’t force her!”

"This is Xiao Beichen's promise to myself and to her."

Every word is like iron, and the breath is sharp.

The woman was unmoved and didn't even blink: "What if I have to take her away?"

Xiao Beichen suddenly stood up: "Then give it a try."

Killing intent surges.

The entire hall became much quieter.

Mu Zhengfeng kept winking at Xiao Beichen, signaling Xiao Beichen not to be so impulsive.

But Xiao Beichen refused to retreat at all.

Eh!

Mu Zhengfeng let out a long sigh.

Xiao Beichen, Xiao Beichen, you have no idea how terrifying this woman is.

The woman had the air of poetry and elegance in her body, but she was not angry: "Xiao Beichen, you want Mu Ziyan to decide her own life. This promise is very manly, but also very ideal. Even a powerful person like Murong Xing, the old master of the temple, No one can make that kind of promise, so why should you?"

Xiao Beichen said: "If you can do something with a snap of your fingers, there is no need to commit. The reason why commitment is valuable is because you have to do things that seem impossible."

Oh?

The woman was very surprised and looked at Xiao Beichen again: "It's interesting. If you went back five years and you said this, I would admire you very much and think you were a young man in bright clothes and angry horses. But now, you are already twenty. Mu Ziyan is already twenty-two years old, and she is twenty-three years old. You are not in your youth."

"I just feel ridiculous saying these things at this moment."

A woman in her mid-twenties could say such a thing!

amazing!

Xiao Beichen murmured: "Who...are you?"

The woman said: "In the temple, there are Nine Saints under the master of the third hall. And there are four holy envoys under the master of the second hall. I am one of the four holy envoys, Dongxue."

Xiao Beichen was shocked when he heard this.

The previous Chief Commander seemed to be the master of the three halls.

This Dongxue... turned out to be the master of the second hall.

The master of the third hall, the master of the second hall... turned out to be different people. And they all joined in, each wanting to take Mu Ziyan away.

This time, I'm afraid it's a dragnet!

The woman stood up slowly, walked to the gate, looked up at the stars, and murmured: "Nine years ago, when I met Mu Zhengfeng, I wanted to take Mu Ziyan back to the temple. But I knew I didn't. To protect her ability, if she takes him back to the temple forcibly, she will only die. I can only give up."

"For the past thirteen years, I have been practicing hard day and night without ever having a good night's sleep. All I did was hope that one day I could bring her back to the temple."

"Now, my strength is in the Yuansheng realm. I ask myself, I can take her back to the temple."

"In order to have the ability to protect Mu Ziyan, I have worked hard for thirteen years. What have you done for her?"

"Just a so-called love? You should know that love cannot be eaten as food. Moreover, such a love will destroy Mu Ziyan!"

Xiao Beichen was moved after hearing this, but his attitude did not change: "No matter how fanciful you say, I don't trust you. Even if I trust you, I can't hand over my most beloved woman to you. Unless, you find out from my corpse Step on over."

Dong Xue looked back and glanced at Xiao Beichen: "I've heard a lot of your stories. You are really good to Mu Ziyan. I have no intention of hurting you, let alone hurting Mu Ziyan's heart. Let's do this, I'll fight you It's a bet. If you can beat me, I won't take Mu Ziyan with me when I go south this time. I'll give you another chance."

Anyone can notice that Dongxue is different from those like Da Siming. She is very elegant, seems to be willing to protect Mu Ziyan, and also cares about Mu Ziyan's feelings.

The bet proposed by a Yuan Sheng Realm strongman was terrifying.

Ordinary people dare not accept it.

But Xiao Beichen is not an ordinary person: "What are you betting on?"

Dongxue said: "Just bet on the prince's heart in Nanling Mountain."

Xiao Beichen's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"
