Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"Get up." Hua Chaochao looked down at Yi Mu with a calm tone, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of anger in his voice.

I just don’t know whether he was angry at Yi Mu’s entanglement or at Yi Mu’s disregard for his dignity.

"Don't do this to me..." Yi Mu tightly grasped the corner of Hua Chaochao's clothes, his voice full of pleading, "Don't do this to me, Hua Chaochao..."

Hua Chaochao had a blank expression on her face as she quietly watched Yi Mu begging for mercy.

She won't be soft-hearted, absolutely not, not...

He suddenly raised his hand and waved it. A dazzling light instantly bloomed from Hua Chaochao's hand, like a huge flower of light, enveloping everyone.

He only avoided her and Yi Mu.

Yi Mu didn't know and thought he was one of them. He looked at the white light with a look of despair on his face. He slowly let go of the corner of Hua Chaochao's clothes and sat down on the ground weakly.

After a while, the light gradually dissipated. Everyone's expressions were a little confused at first, but soon returned to normal.

However, that special memory of God has been erased from their minds.

They no longer remember Hua Chaochao, Xingjun, and Hua Chaochao's other identity, Ye Xiao.

Everything that happened with Hua Chaochao disappeared from their memories as if they were erased by an eraser.

For Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen, they only remember that the Hua family's biological daughter, who had just been found, accidentally fell into the sea and drowned while out for fun a few months ago.

Not only the people present, but everyone in the world who knew Hua Chaochao's true nature lost their memories of her.

"Kid, why are you sitting on the ground?" After Qing Ming came to his senses, he saw his apprentice sitting on the ground in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Why are you crying again?!" Qing Ming was shocked to find Yi Mu's face covered with tears while supporting him.

He has raised Yi Mu for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen him cry.

Yi Mu, who was originally in despair, was stunned for a moment when he heard Qing Ming's words.

"You don't know... why I am crying?" Yi Mu's voice was trembling and full of disbelief.

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at Hua Chaochao who was standing in front of him.

Hua Chaochao's mouth corners slightly raised.

"If I knew, would I still ask you?" Qing Ming felt that Yi Mu's brain seemed to have suddenly become stupid. Why would he ask such a stupid question.

He also noticed that Yi Mu was staring straight ahead. Qing Ming followed his gaze but saw nothing.

"What are you looking at?" Qing Ming retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go home."

Going home means going back to Lotus Island.

However, Yi Mu did not move. He still looked in that direction and said softly, "You agreed."

He did not forget, he did not forget Hua Chaochao.

Hua Chaochao smiled gently: "Yes, I agree."

In the end, she softened her heart.

It doesn’t matter. It’s not the first time she has been soft-hearted towards him. What’s the harm in doing it one more time?

At this moment, Hua Chaochao's person and voice could not be seen or heard by anyone except Yi Mu.

So in Qing Ming's eyes, the way Yi Mu spoke to the air seemed very strange.

"Could it be that you got hurt after being beaten? Why are you talking to yourself?" Qing Ming looked at Yi Mu with concern.

Yi Mu turned a deaf ear to him and just said to Hua Chaochao: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. You begged for this." Hua Chaochao gently reached out her hand and wiped away the remaining tears from Yi Mu's eyes. "It's really heartbreaking."

Yi Mu couldn't help it, tears welled up in his eyes again, wetting Hua Chaochao's hand.

It also scared Qingming.

"It really is a ghost, Yi Mu, what's wrong with you?" Qing Ming's voice changed because of worry.

"Master, I'm fine. I'm just too happy." Yi Mu was answering Qing Ming but his eyes never left Hua Chaochao's face.

"Are you happy?! It's over, there must be something wrong with you." Qingming thought Yi Mu was crazy, just like Li Qingchi before, and stretched out his hand to grab Yi Mu's sleeve, "Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Yi Mu didn't move, "I'm not leaving."

Hua Chaochao was about to leave, and he wanted to look at her a few more times.

Just then, Shen Lingtan limped over, leaning on Song Guwei's crutches.

"Yi Mu..." He looked at Yi Mu with complicated eyes.

Shen Lingtan's arrival successfully diverted Qing Ming's attention and he was no longer obsessed with dragging Yi Mu away.

Qing Ming saw through Shen Lingtan's thoughts at a glance and said, "Although you are Yi Mu's adopted grandfather, he was raised by me and is from my Lotus Island. It's impossible for him to stay in your Xuanzhou."

Shen Lingtan was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

Qing Ming raised his chin slightly, "My humble name is Qing Ming."

"Are you the old island owner?" Shen Lingtan really didn't expect that the old man in front of him was the famous old island owner of Lotus Island.

In fact, this is normal. Xuanzhou and Lotus Island have almost no contact with each other on weekdays, and Qingming has always been low-key, so people in Xuanzhou have only heard of Qingming's reputation but have never seen his appearance.

Qing Ming kept his chin up and replied, "It's me."

After confirming Qing Ming's identity, Shen Lingtan couldn't help but have a guess, "Then Yi Mu is..."

Qingming is Yi Mu's master, and the owner of Lotus Island is said to be Qingming's apprentice, and has reached the ninth level of martial arts...

"That's right, Yi Mu is the owner of my Lotus Island."

When saying this, Qing Ming deliberately raised his voice so that people around him could hear it, intending to make it clear that Yi Mu was from Lotus Island and no one was allowed to have any ideas about him.

When Shen Lingtan learned that Yi Mu was the island owner, his expression suddenly became lonely.

He had originally thought that he would be able to make up for his debt to Yi Mu in his last days, but now it seems that this wish may not come true.

Yi Mu is living a good life now, so why should I bother him?

If the noble family was still there, he might be able to fight for it, but now, he is just a guilty and down-and-out man.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingtan turned around silently and walked away sadly.

"Master." Suddenly, Yi Mu called Qing Ming.

Qing Ming looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Yi Mu was no longer crying, but was instead filled with suppressed joy and excitement. "I'm not going back to the island."

Qing Ming was surprised and asked, "Not going back? Then where are you going?"

"It's not clear yet." Yi Mu finally took his eyes off Hua Chaochao and looked at Qing Ming. He said seriously, "Master, I have decided to give the position of island master to my senior brother. He is more suitable to be the island master than me."

As Yi Mu spoke, he kept recalling what Hua Chaochao had just said to him in his mind, but it still felt unreal, like a dream.
