Mu Jin said distressedly: "I'm fine, but you must be very scared after being detained for so long."

Even though Mu Jin said she was fine, Mei Shu still didn't believe it. She didn't immediately respond to Mu Jin's last question.

Instead, she began to look her up and down, trying to see if Mu Jin was lying to her.

But this time Mu Jin really did not lie to Mei Shu.

She guessed that Mei Shu would definitely check, so Mu Jin had already healed the injuries she had suffered in the Bugui Mountain before coming.

Mei Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she found no wounds on Mu Jin's body, and then she began to answer Mu Jin's last question.

"It's good that it's not hurt."

Then Mei Shu forced a smile, but it looked a little forced.

"I'm fine. Although I was a little scared in the first two days, I'm used to it now and don't think it's a big deal."

Mei Shu’s acting skills were not very good, and Mu Jin could see the forced expression on her face at a glance.

She lowered her head in guilt and said, "I'm sorry for coming so late. I promised to protect you forever, but now I'm breaking my promise."

Thinking of what happened in the past, Mei Shu showed a sincere smile on her face.

"How could that be? You have always kept this promise very well. I was too reckless and did not follow your previous advice and acted on my own. But it's fine for me to be here. I treat this as training. I fight these evil spirits every day, but I haven't been hurt."

As she said this, Mei Shu hid her injured arm behind her back.

Mu Jin noticed Mei Shu's little action at a glance. Just as she was about to say something, Mei Shu changed the subject.

Mei Shu asked, "By the way! How is the war going over there now?"

Mu Jin knew that Mei Shu was trying to change the subject. She looked at Mei Shu who hid her arms behind her back again, sighed softly, and continued to talk according to Mei Shu's meaning.

Mei Shu was not at all happy when she heard that the demons had the upper hand.

Mu Jin continued, "Although we have the upper hand now, the cultivation world will never sit still and wait for death. In the end, if this battle continues, it will only end in a lose-lose situation for both sides."

Mei Shu naturally knew this, and because she had anticipated it, she tried her best to stop it, but she still failed.

Mu Jin looked at Mei Shu, and her calm voice always made Mei Shu feel at ease.

"Don't blame yourself. You know the people in the Elders' Council. We tried so hard before but couldn't do it. It's impossible for them to really give up the plan they have been planning for so long just because of a few words from you."

Mei Shu naturally understood this truth, but she still couldn't bear to see those demons sacrifice in vain.

After being together for such a long time, Mu Jin naturally saw what Mei Shu was thinking. His icy eyes melted instantly when he looked at Mei Shu.

She reached out her hand across the barrier and wanted to touch Mei Shu's cheek, but the barrier was like a natural barrier that completely separated the two of them. Mu Jin paused and said, "Our Xiao Shu will definitely be a qualified leader in the future."

Meishu saw that Mu Jin wanted to caress her face as she did in the past, so she moved her face closer.

Meishu seemed to be able to feel Mu Jin gently stroking her cheek. The thin layer of calluses on the palm of her hand attached to her delicate skin always made Meishu feel itchy.

Before the war, I had disliked this cocoon.

Even though they were just joking and acting coquettish at the time, now the two of them can't even do such a simple action.

Now Mei Shu's active move of moving closer seemed to have shortened the distance between the two of them.

The natural barrier seemed to have disappeared. Even though the two still couldn't touch each other, the distance between them had shortened.

The warmth only lasted for a moment. Thinking of the battle situation outside, Meishu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If I were truly a qualified leader, I would not have allowed things to develop to this point."

"Just because it's not the case now doesn't mean it won't be the case in the future. I will grow with you."

Mu Jin's voice is a bit cold, but when he speaks to Mei Shu, his voice is always so gentle.

Meishu smiled, which was different from her usual charming smile. This time, the smile looked particularly sincere. She nodded vigorously in response.

"it is good!"

Mu Jin couldn't stay for too long. She gave Mei Shu a deep look and said, "I will find a way to get you out. Wait for me."

After saying this, Mu Jin stood up and left, looking back every few steps.

Not long after Mu Jin returned, she heard from her disciples that a new round of attack was about to be launched.

Mu Jin sighed in her heart. She now had no choice but to continue to go to the battlefield.

Mei Shu has been locked up, and I can't get involved anymore. The best thing to do now is not to resist.

Just as she was about to go to the battlefield, she was told to go to the main hall of the Council of Elders first.

So Mu Jin turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Mu Jin came to the palace where several elders and Ming Yuan were. Almost everyone was there. She stood obediently next to the blood puppet below, waiting for instructions from the elders and the palace master.

And when she heard that Elder Yuan was planning to launch the most violent attack, ready to take advantage of the period when the cultivation world was at a disadvantage and take it down in one fell swoop, Mu Jin's heart sank.

The war has only lasted for more than a month. Has it progressed to this point so quickly?

Mu Jin thought of Mei Shu who was still locked up, she gritted her teeth and decided to stand up.

She bowed respectfully and said, "Palace Master, Elder Yuan, since we are about to have the final battle, wouldn't it be better to release Mei Shu? This way we can have more people and more fighting power."

When everyone present heard Mu Jin's words, they looked at her in surprise.

Others had more or less learned about Meishu's situation indirectly.

That is a serious crime of misleading the military!

The incident hasn't even passed yet, and Mu Jin actually dared to plead for the other party?

Didn't the two of them always have a bad relationship?

Were they just pretending before? Are they actually on good terms?

Mu Jin knew how people around her were looking at her without even looking up.

She also knew that if she brought it up this time, everyone would definitely doubt her relationship with Mei Shu.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the two have always been incompatible. Now that they are suddenly pleading with each other, it is easy for people to doubt that the relationship between the two is actually very good.

But Mu Jin no longer cared about so much. Before the final battle, she still wanted to try to get a chance to release Mei Shu.

The elders and Ming Yuan on the stage fell silent upon hearing Mu Jin's words.

After a moment, Mingyuan stood up and looked coldly at Mujin below.

With a cold snort, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Ah Da, who was standing below, saw the Palace Master leave, and followed Ming Yuan away without caring about the other elders sitting above.
