Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"And this point," Hua Chaochao's eyes slowly moved, finally settling on Yi Mu, the deep meaning and playfulness contained in it were self-evident, "your apprentice should have a deep understanding of this."

Yi Mu's face was filled with grief, and his eyes were red.

He stretched out his hand, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope, his voice trembling: "No, Hua Chaochao, you are not that kind of person."

This time Hua Chaochao did not dodge and said sarcastically: "I am not that kind of person? How well do you think you know me? Haven't you been deceived by me enough?"

She didn't believe that Yi Mu didn't know that she was just acting when she was with him.

Yi Mu certainly understood it in his heart, but he just didn't want to give up, even though he knew it was all fake.

He held Hua Chaochao's hand tightly, and his body slowly sank down until his knees touched the ground. He knelt in front of Hua Chaochao, throwing away all his self-esteem and pride, and was extremely humble: "Then continue to lie to me, please, lie to me..."

!!!

Yi Mu's kneeling made many people drop their jaws in shock.

Is this still their cold and unkind island owner?

They listened to the conversation between the two and knew that they had a past, but they never thought that Yi Mu would kneel down for this.

"Yi Mu!" Xiao Hei could hardly believe that the person who was kneeling humbly was Yi Mu. "What are you doing? Get up!"

He wanted to go over and pull Yi Mu up, but Qing Ming on the side reached out to stop him.

Xiao Hei was anxious: "Old Island Master, Yi Mu..."

"Leave him alone, let him handle it."

How could Qing Ming not understand the pain in Yi Mu's heart, but this was ultimately his own choice.

Yi Mu turned a deaf ear to the voices from the outside world, as if Hua Chaochao was the only one left in the world.

Hua Chaochao looked down at Yi Mu, stretched out her other hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and whispered softly: "How pitiful, Yi Mu."

Just when everyone thought Hua Chaochao was moved, Yi Mu was suddenly pushed away by an invisible force and fell more than ten meters away.

"But unfortunately, it's useless to me. I won't be soft-hearted." Hua Chaochao's eyes turned cold in an instant, as if the tenderness just now was just an illusion.

Yi Mu struggled to get up from the ground. His body was shaking a little and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Hei quickly ran over to support Yi Mu, "Yi Mu, don't be silly, she has no heart at all!"

However, Yi Mu pushed Xiao Hei away and walked towards Hua Chaochao again, his eyes full of desperate persistence.

Hua Chaochao frowned, "Are you looking for death?"

Even in this situation, you still dare to get close to her.

There was an obvious warning in Hua Chaochao's tone, but Yi Mu's steps did not slow down for a moment.

He walked up to Hua Chaochao step by step, his eyes burning and direct, "Will you kill me?"

He was gambling that she wouldn't bear to kill him, so he still had hope.

Hua Chaochao looked at him, and after a few seconds, she smiled, "You are really... ridiculously naive."

The smile faded and was replaced with an indifferent expression, "Yi Mu, don't take yourself too seriously. Your life or death is of no importance to me."

Yi Mu listened to this and clenched his fists quietly. His knuckles turned white due to the force. He stubbornly asked again: "So, will you kill me?"

He was like a stubborn child who insisted on an answer.

Hua Chaochao's gaze stayed on Yi Mu for a moment, and finally said slowly: "No, I won't kill you, because it's not time for you to die yet."

What she meant was that he was still of use now, but when he was no longer useful, she would kill him without hesitation.

But even so, Yi Mu still felt a little fortunate, fortunate that he was still useful to her.

"Does what you said before still count?" Yi Mu suddenly asked.

Hua Chaochao raised her eyebrows, as if saying: I have said so many things, which one are you referring to?

Yi Mu slowly raised his hand and carefully took off the thing hanging around his neck.

It was a necklace woven with black string and strung with a blue shell.

Yi Mu's movements were extremely gentle, as if what he held in his hand was not an ordinary ornament, but the most precious treasure in the world.

He made this necklace himself a few days ago. He was afraid of losing it, so he made it into a necklace so that he could wear it all the time.

Hua Chaochao raised her eyebrows when she saw the shell, her eyes no longer as strange as last time, "You want to use it?"

"Ah."

Seeing Hua Chaochao's reaction, Yi Mu knew that this gift still counted.

Hua Chaochao didn't quite understand and reminded him, "Have you thought about it? This could be your life-saving talisman in the future."

"If I don't use it, can you let them go?" Yi Mu asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"No." Hua Chaochao answered decisively.

"Then I'll use it, please." Yi Mu gently placed the shell necklace on Hua Chaochao's palm, "Let them go."

"It's really great." Hua Chaochao clasped her palms together, and the originally hard shell instantly turned into a pile of fine powder.

Then he flipped his hand and the powder flew away in the wind.

Only a lonely black string was left, floating lightly on the ground.

"Since you don't take your life seriously, I'm too lazy to persuade you anymore." Hua Chaochao said indifferently, "As for your request, I agree to it."

Yi Mu looked quietly at the black rope without the shell on the ground, holding it and then releasing it.

Finally, he said hoarsely, "Thank you."

Hua Chaochao did not respond to Yi Mu. She walked past him and strode to the front of the crowd. She clapped her hands with a smile on her face and announced loudly: "Congratulations, everyone. Thanks to the 'sacrifice' of your island owner, you are saved. Now you can go back to your homes and find your mothers."

After saying this, she turned to look at Qingming and reminded him earnestly, "Your two disciples are not qualified no matter how you look at them. Take them back and teach them well."

One is blinded by power, the other is a persistent and infatuated person.

Qing Ming glanced at Yi Mu, who seemed to have no soul, and replied to Hua Chaochao: "I will take them back now."
