The afternoon sun was mild but not hot, Mu Chuyu asked the shadow guard to move a recliner in the yard, half lying on it, squinting and thinking about things.

It's time to talk about this matter.

This is what Lingsheng saw when he walked into the yard.Mu Chuyu closed his eyes tightly, the sunlight fell on his quiet side face through the leaves and branches, as if mottled on the unchanging waves of the lake.His complexion was as pale as paper, and there were some ambiguous marks on his fair neck, and a deep red mark on his exposed wrist.

Lingsheng had a faint guess in his heart, Xiumei couldn't help frowning, walked up quickly and grabbed his wrist, and said sharply: "Follow me!"

Before Mu Chuyu could react, a stone flew out from the dark and hit Lingsheng's wrist that was holding him, and Lingsheng let go of his hand as soon as he felt the pain.

Xiao Jing walked into the yard with a normal expression, walked to Mu Chuyu's side, rubbed his wrist, and said, "I've already bought radish cake, do you want to eat it now?"

"I'll eat later." Mu Chuyu looked at Lingsheng.

Qu Fengnan walked in from the courtyard.

Mu Chuyu looked at Xiao Jing and said, "Go into the room."

Xiao Jing pressed his shoulders and said, "Sunshine more."

So the shadow guard moved two chairs and placed them side by side in front of the lounge chair.

Lingsheng: "..."

Qu Fengnan: "..."

Regardless of their strange expressions, Xiao Jing calmly squeezed beside Mu Chuyu.Mu Chuyu moved to the side, trying to make room for a bigger seat, but the reclining chair was so big, he almost fell, but fortunately a strong arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him over.

Xiao Jing's arm passed through the gap under Mu Chuyu's legs, lifted his legs to rest on her own, and wrapped his other hand around his slender waist tightly, saying: "It's so good. "

Mu Chuyu: "..."

"Come here, bring another chair." Facing the gazes of the two people opposite, Mu Chuyu was like a light on his back, he was silent for a while, and said to Yingwei.

The shadow guard glanced at Xiao Jing, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he moved another chair, and when he was about to place it next to the recliner, Xiao Jing said: "Put it farther away."

Yingwei Ruyan put the chairs next to Lingsheng and Qu Fengnan.

Mu Chuyu looked up at him, pointed his chin at the chair, and said, "Gu Master Xiao, please."

"This position is not for me." Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows and looked towards the entrance of the yard.

Everyone looked around, only to see Mu Yunzheng striding forward.

"Uncle Emperor." Mu Chuyu's heart tightened, and he glanced at Xiao Jing, but saw that his expression was normal.

Mu Yunzheng looked Mu Chuyu up and down, and the emotion in his eyes was completely restrained. Only when he glanced at his neck, his eyes sank slightly, and then he lowered his eyelids and sat down calmly.

"Those pirates confessed?" Xiao Jing asked.

Mu Yunzheng nodded, and glanced at Qu Fengnan, and he really saw a slight change in his complexion.

Qu Fengnan quickly restrained his emotions and looked at Mu Chuyu.

Mu Chuyu was taken aback by him, and asked Xiao Jing, "The pirate who burned the ship that day?"

Xiao Jing nodded, "It's a coincidence that the pirates confessed to someone behind the scenes."

Mu Chuyu paused after hearing the words, then raised her eyes to look at Lingsheng and Qu Fengnan, "I know each other?"

Xiao Jing stroked his hair, chuckled lightly and said, "You mentioned him when you were jealous."

"..." Seeing the teasing in his eyes, Mu Chuyu's ears burned, he turned his face to the side and calmed down, only to realize who he was talking about belatedly.

"Young Lord Mu, don't forget that our high fives are an alliance." Qu Feng Nanqiang said with a smile.

At the beginning, he wanted to use the imperial court to save Mu Chuyu to control the rights of Xiandao, but he didn't expect that Osmanthus Valley would be involved, nor did he expect that Osmanthus Valley had found out about the pirates earlier.That day he was imprisoned by Xiao Jing, in a passive position, unable to negotiate a covenant with Xiao Jing, now he can only rely on his friendship with Mu Chuyu.

"You recruited the pirates?!" Ling Sheng stared at Qu Fengnan, unable to believe it.

Qu Fengnan looked at Mu Chuyu without changing his expression.

"The people of Xiandao are common people, so aren't the people of South China Sea not common people?" Mu Chuyu paused, "You keep saying that you are for Xiandao, but you allow pirates to do evil and kill people. In the end, you are nothing more than It's for my own selfish desires, but I put on the cloak of righteousness."

Qu Fengnan tightened his fingers, and said with an ugly expression: "What do you know? I watched my newborn little brother be thrown into the icy sea by the people on the island and drown alive! He is so young, only My two palms are as big as they are, how can they have the heart..." He said in the end that his voice was hoarse, and a wail of grief came out of his throat, "But those people watched indifferently, and kept begging for forgiveness from the god of shit It's ridiculous and pathetic!"

There must be something pitiful about a hateful person. Mu Chuyu suddenly sympathized with this person in front of him. He was powerless to watch his relatives die. No wonder his expression was so mocking and angry whenever the word "Scream God" was mentioned.But even so, he colluded with pirates to burn, kill and loot, to impose his hatred on them, and to let the people suffer the pain of losing their loved ones with him. These things cannot be written off because of his pain.

Suddenly Xiao Jing held his slightly cold hand, the warmth from the back of his hand woke him up, and he calmed down and said: "I promised you to cooperate with you, but I also have a bottom line."

Lingsheng didn't need to think about the reason for their cooperation, and said coldly: "In any case, Xiandao will not be handed over to such a rebellious person."

"Should it be handed over to someone like you who disregards other people's lives?" Qu Fengnan said bitterly.

Mu Chuyu glanced at Xiao Jing hesitantly, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jing stretched out his hand and gently touched his earlobe. When he touched the tooth marks left over from last night, he felt obviously happy, and said in a diffuse voice: "Although this matter is Yu'er agreed, but Yu'er is mine, and his business is mine."

Mu Chuyu looked up at him again.

"Miss Lingsheng, why don't you tell me?" Mu Yunzheng said calmly.

Lingsheng's complexion changed slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Have you even found this?"

Mu Chuyu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Lingsheng suspiciously.

Is there something else hidden about this matter?

Lingsheng looked at Mu Chuyu, and said with a faint smile: "Could it be that I am such a cold-blooded and heartless person in your heart?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Xiao Jing said casually, "It's enough for Yu'er to care about me."

Hearing this, Lingsheng raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Jing, and saw that the warmth in his eyes when he looked at Mu Chuyu did not seem to be fake, so she realized her whimsy.She originally thought that Mu Chuyu was coerced by him and had to surrender to Xiao Jing, and just now she had the idea of ​​taking him away with a desperate fight, but now it seems that she is clearly willing to fight and suffer.

It wasn't until Xiao Jing glanced at Ling Sheng displeasedly that she slowly looked away and said to Qu Fengnan, "Your brother is not dead."

Qu Fengnan paused, hope suddenly burst out in his gloomy eyes, and he said in horror: "What did you say?!"

"None of them died." Lingsheng said, "You just think that I am cold-blooded and ruthless, helping the evildoers, but you don't know that I am also dissatisfied with Grandma Shuixiao's actions."

"But you clearly talk about a shark god, if you are really dissatisfied, why are you indifferent?" Qu Fengnan said coldly.

"The influence left by Grandma Shuixiao in Xiandao is deeply ingrained, and it will not be easy to get rid of it." Lingsheng said.

Qu Fengnan looked at her steadily, the madness in his eyes stopped a little bit, and said, "Where is he?"

"On an isolated island six hundred miles south of Xiandao." Lingsheng said, "I will order people to send some of the tribute every month."

"I want to see him." Qu Fengnan's fingers trembled, and his eyes shone brightly.

Ling Sheng looked at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing nodded and said: "I will order the Shadow Guard to take you there...if you are willing to subdue the law."

"I am willing." Qu Fengnan said without hesitation, "I want to master Xiandao in the end, just to avenge the past. If he is still there, I definitely don't want it." After saying that, he looked at Mu Chuyu hesitantly glance.

"I promise you can't do it, but I will do my best." Mu Chuyu said, "I won't hurt anyone on the isolated island."

Qu Fengnan nodded and said hoarsely, "Thank you."

Mu Chuyu looked at Qu Fengnan's leaving back, no longer slumped just now, but standing upright like a pine, which made people feel a kind of vitality. At this moment, Mu Chuyu felt that this person was alive.

"The government can just come forward on this matter." Mu Yunzheng got up, glanced at Mu Chuyu, and said, "I will not go back on what Yu'er promised." After saying that, he followed Qu Fengnan and left.

"His matter is over, and then we should settle our accounts." Xiao Jing did not raise any objections, but said to Ling Sheng slowly.

The way Lingsheng looked at Mu Chuyu was like the way she looked at the painting in the Holy Land, gentle and affectionate.

Mu Chuyu felt that the hand holding her was getting tighter and tighter, so she couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Miss Lingsheng."

Lingsheng sighed, "I really... have seen him."

"Have you really seen a shark?" Mu Chuyu asked.

"When I was young, I once quarreled with Shuixiao's grandma, and I sat on the beach alone angrily. At that time, I really saw him..." Ling Sheng looked far away, as if returning to that place, I saw those bright eyes that were as deep as the sea but full of innocence and childishness.

She still remembered that he smiled at her, and buried his head in the blue water again.The shiny scales shone softly under the moonlight, which was the most beautiful color she had ever seen.

"Although I am dissatisfied with what Grandma Shuixiao has done, I have never denied the existence of mermaids." Lingsheng said.

Mu Chuyu's eyes contained complicated emotions.

"I know you're not him." Lingsheng said, "I just want to borrow your hand to give me years of waiting and protection."

"Unfortunately not, he is not that shark after all, he is my Yu'er." Xiao Jing's tone was persistent and firm.

Lingsheng was silent, and said after a while: "I did this wrong."

Hearing her apology, Mu Chuyu was surprised. In his mind, Lingsheng didn't seem like a person who would admit mistakes.

"Then the matter is over." Mu Chuyu held Xiao Jing's hand reassuringly, and smiled at her.

Xiao Jing shook his hand and wrapped his hand tightly in his palm, "When Yu'er and I get married, I will ask someone to send you an invitation."

"I will prepare a small gift." Lingsheng smiled slightly.

Mu Chuyu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, then the matter is considered to be over.

"It's justifiable for you to enter the island this time, but it also helped me a lot. I can take this opportunity to clean up the influence of Grandma Shuixiao and carry out reforms on Xiandao as soon as possible. Although Xiandao will continue to believe in sharks, but It will not be isolated from the world." Ling Sheng looked at Xiao Jing and said.

"If Mr. Qu knows, he will be very pleased." Mu Chuyu smiled slightly.

Ling Sheng smiled at him, the frost in her eyes melted, she turned and left without hesitation, like a cloud floating away in the sky.

Mu Chuyu kept looking at her back until Xiao Jing pinched his chin, forcibly turned his face away, and looked at him displeased.

"I want to eat carrot cake." Mu Chuyu blinked and said.

"..." Xiao Jing pinched his face lightly, and asked the shadow guard to warm up the pastry.

Mu Chuyu got the hot pastry and started to eat it silently, Xiao Jing couldn't help poking his puffed cheeks.

"Pour me a cup of tea." Mu Chuyu turned his head to avoid the funny hand.

"..." Xiao Jing walked into the room and took a pot of hot tea, poured a cup and brought it to his lips.

Mu Chuyu took a sip from his hand, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and wiped his fingers clean.

Xiao Jing watched his movements, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened.

"Lingsheng's account is settled, it's time to settle ours." Mu Chuyu said calmly.
