He immediately raised his palm to his mouth and clapped it, saying, "I was wrong. Look at my mouth."

Mu Luan's thoughts were pulled back by Mu Qingyu, and he continued, "I'm not saying she's bad, I'm saying she's brave, generous, and loyal. If you make friends with her, you can ask her out when you want to leave the house in the future, and she will definitely protect you."

Seeing that Mu Qingyu looked so excited, and obviously trusted this woman named Shen Yin very much, Mu Luan couldn't help but feel a little more expectant and nervous about Shen Yin.

"Hearing Second Brother's description of Miss Shen, Yaoyao was actually very excited, but Yaoyao is a slow person and was afraid that it would cause trouble for Miss Shen."

"Don't worry, if you can make friends with Shen Yin, Uncle Shen will definitely be happy."

There was a shrewd look in Mu Qingyu's eyes, and Mu Luan knew that he was not plotting against her.

Then he can only be plotting against Miss Shen Yin.

Mu Luoheng had been paying attention to Mu Luan. He was a man of few words except for official business. But now he said, "If Yaoyao is afraid of meeting strangers, then don't meet her. If you want to go somewhere, you can tell me and I will accompany you. We will protect the daughter of the general's mansion ourselves."

Mu Sinian also agreed.

Mu Luan knew that her elder brother was protecting her. In her previous life, she had always followed the instructions of the court doctor, cultivating herself quietly and rarely going out, so she was deceived by Su Lan's false friendship.

In this life, she doesn't want to be a narrow-minded person anymore. It won't be a bad thing for her to see more of the world.

Mu Luan's eyebrows curved slightly, and she said, "Actually, Yaoyao really wants to meet this Miss Shen Yin."

Hearing this, Mu Qingyu's eyes immediately turned around. He stood up from his chair and quickly rushed to Mu Luan's side. He turned around and said to the three people in the hall, "Father, mother, and brother, it's getting late. The exorcism ceremony is about to begin. This year I will take Yaoyao out for a walk."

"No."

Mu Luoheng put down the wine cup in his hand, his expression somewhat displeased.

Mu Luan knew that exorcising Nuo was an activity held in the capital city on New Year's Eve every year to drive away the "Nian" and bring blessings to ensure peace for the whole year.

On this day every year, she could hear the bustling atmosphere on the streets, which penetrated through the thick walls of the mansion and into her Shaoguang Courtyard, tempting her restless heart.

It was a rare opportunity to live again, so she wanted to go and take a look, and she also wanted to bless the Mu family with peace and prosperity every year.

Mu Luan knew that her elder brother always kept his word and would not easily compromise on matters that would threaten her safety.

She had no choice but to lower her eyes, revealing a pitiful look, and begged her mother beside her, shaking her hand and saying coquettishly: "Mother, Yaoer wants to go and see..."

Quarter of an hour later, a carriage stopped steadily in front of the mansion gate, and Mu Luan and Mu Qingyu boarded the carriage to Yueman Tower as they wished.

Less than a quarter of an hour after leaving the general's mansion, the silence in my ears was gradually replaced by the lively sounds of blowing, cheering and playing.

Mu Qingyu mysteriously took out a blue bundle from the secret compartment of the carriage. Mu Luan found it curious and stared at it with her bright eyes.

But the next moment, it was discovered that the bundle contained not something cute, but two evil ghost masks with green faces and fangs.

Mu Qingyu thought his sister would be frightened, but he saw that not only was she not afraid, but she looked very involved, as if she was waiting for his next plan.

It is obvious that he has been immersed in the lively atmosphere of exorcising evil spirits.

Mu Qingyu was a little surprised and suddenly realized that her sister seemed to be a little different.

Calm, bold and more cheerful.

He couldn't help but wonder, when did things start to become a little different?

That was probably the first time she willingly called herself "Second Brother".

Seeing that his second brother was staring at him without saying anything, Mu Luan waved his hand in front of him and said, "What are you thinking about, second brother? What is this mask for?"

Mu Qingyu came back to his senses after being stunned, and quickly calmed down. He picked up the evil ghost mask and said, "This is used for exorcism. People on the street usually wear various masks and follow the Nuo Weng and Nuo Mu to join the exorcism team. I prepared this evil ghost mask a long time ago."

He kept shaking the evil ghost mask in his hand, obviously extremely satisfied with it. He just looked at it for a while and then put it back into his bag.

He said calmly, "It doesn't matter. If I can't use it this year, I can still use it next year."

Mu Luan looked at Mu Qingyu's somewhat lonely expression and couldn't help but blame herself, "Second brother can leave me in Yue Man Lou and then go to participate in the exorcism. It won't have any impact."

Mu Qingyu waved his hands and smiled uninhibitedly, "How could your second brother be the kind of person who would abandon you all alone? Besides, my eldest brother has repeatedly told me to take good care of you, otherwise I will be beaten with a military stick when I come back."

Mu Luan wanted to persuade him when she heard the sound of a gong outside the car. She turned her head, lifted the curtain and looked out.

But the first thing I saw was not the bustling scene on the street, but Jun Zhao's dazzlingly handsome face.

He actually followed out!

Just before leaving the house, Mu Luan asked Yin Xin to quickly go and call Jun Zhao over.

She couldn't force a profit-seeking man like Jun Zhao to come out with her and see the human ways beyond the killing world in his previous life.

But he still came, which means he is still willing to accept the different colors of this world besides blood.

"How are you injured?"

The surroundings were extremely lively, and Mu Luan unconsciously leaned closer and raised her voice a little.

Jun Zhao knew what she was saying even by looking at her soft lips opening and closing, not to mention that she was raising her voice on purpose.

He said nothing, but looked into her eyes and nodded.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and fireworks occasionally shot up into the sky overhead, exploding into bright colors in the dark blue night sky.

Mu Luan was attracted and looked up. The gorgeous layers of fireworks spread out little by little from her dark and lively pupils.

Jun Zhao just kept staring at the brilliant light in her eyes, which spread out wave after wave.

Such bright and clear smiling eyes were indeed rare in his silent world.

The wrist that was still tied with a bow when the bandage was changed this morning, was slightly behind her back, and her fingertips were subconsciously twisting it lightly.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Yuemanlou.

Mu Luan and his group left home quite late. By this time, the entrance to Yuemen Tower was already full of carriages, and there must have been no extra private rooms.

Mu Qingyu was not in a hurry. He took Mu Luan and walked straight into Yueman Building.

After Mu Luan got off the car, her eyes were fixed on Jun Zhao, who was wearing a guard's robe, intentionally or unintentionally.

He did not follow, but stayed downstairs with the waiting guards.

With her second brother by her side, Mu Luan had no choice but to lower her eyes, look away and leave.

Just as she withdrew her gaze, the man in the distance slowly followed her figure.

Mu Luan followed Mu Qingyu to the third floor. She was wondering when her second brother had booked a private room in Yueman Building when she heard a loud and hearty laugh coming from the "Yue" private room.
