Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 51 Quiet Years, Warm Times
Murong Xue took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "I can tell you everything, but you must ensure my safety. The organization's forces are complicated. Once it is discovered that I have betrayed them, the consequences will be disastrous."
Chu Mengmeng understood her concerns and promised solemnly: "I guarantee on my reputation as the eldest daughter of the Chu family that I will protect your safety. All the information you provide will be the key to our fight against evil forces." Murong Xue looked at Chu Mengmeng's determined eyes and finally made up her mind. She told her everything she knew, including the origin and purpose of the organization, and the identity of the manipulator behind the scenes, a name that shocked Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.
In order to avoid being hunted down by the organization and to better plan for the future, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen found a secluded courtyard in a corner of the city and lived an ordinary and warm life.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the window lattice and fell on the blue brick floor. Chu Mengmeng was humming a brisk tune while busying herself in the kitchen. The pot was steaming and emitting an alluring aroma. Xiao Yichen was practicing sword in the yard. His sword was flashing and his clothes were fluttering, like a banished immortal.
"Yichen, it's time to eat!" Chu Mengmeng brought the last dish to the table and shouted to Xiao Yichen in the yard.
Xiao Yichen put away his sword, walked to the table and sat down, looking at the table full of delicious dishes, his eyes full of pampering: "Mengmeng, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
"Of course, don't you see who taught you that?" Chu Mengmeng raised her chin proudly, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Xiao Yichen's bowl, "Try it quickly, this is a new dish I learned."
Xiao Yichen picked up the braised pork, tasted it carefully, and praised it highly: "It's delicious, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. It's even more delicious than what the chef at Zuixianlou makes."
Hearing his praise, Chu Mengmeng smiled like a child, and the two of them ate and talked, enjoying this rare quiet time.
After breakfast, they walked hand in hand in the quiet alley. The sun shone through the branches, leaving mottled shadows on the ground, and the breeze blew, bringing bursts of flower fragrance. Everything seemed so beautiful and peaceful.
However, they all know in their hearts that this peaceful life is only temporary. The threat of the mysterious organization still exists, and they still have a lot to do.
"Mengmeng, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly with a firm tone.
"Well, I believe you." Chu Mengmeng looked up at Xiao Yichen, with a firm light flashing in her eyes.
In the evening, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er came to the courtyard. They are Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's most trusted friends, and their strong backing in fighting against the mysterious organization.
"Mengmeng, Yichen, have you made any new discoveries recently?" Su Mubai asked with a hint of worry in his tone.
"Murong Xue provided some clues, but they still need further confirmation." Xiao Yichen replied, "We are planning the next step."
"No matter what, you must be careful." Lin Wan'er warned, "The strength of that organization should not be underestimated."
"Don't worry, we know what we are doing." Chu Mengmeng said, "By the way, I have researched a new kind of pastry today. Do you want to try it?"
As she said this, she got up and went to the kitchen to bring back some freshly made cakes. Friends gathered together, chatting about everything, and before they knew it, night had fallen...
As the night deepened, the laughter and chatter in the courtyard gradually died down. Chu Mengmeng, Xiao Yichen, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er sat around the table, the candlelight illuminating their young and determined faces.
"Mengmeng, are you sure that the purpose of that mysterious organization is to control the entire city?" Su Mubai frowned, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
"Murong Xue told me this herself, so it shouldn't be wrong." Chu Mengmeng nodded, looking solemn, "She said that the leader of the organization has the power to control people's hearts. He has already controlled many high-ranking officials and is realizing his ambitions step by step."
"Control people's hearts?" Lin Wan'er couldn't help but shudder. "This is too scary! If this is true, then don't we have no chance of winning?"
"Not entirely." Xiao Yichen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Murong Xue also said that the organization is not monolithic, and there are some people like her who don't want to be associated with it."
"You mean..." Su Mubai's eyes lit up, "We can incite them to rebel?"
"That's right." Xiao Yichen nodded, "Murong Xue has agreed to help us contact those people. If we can win them over, our chances of winning will greatly increase."
In the following days, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er often visited the courtyard. They discussed the future of the city and made plans for the upcoming challenges. Murong Xue's joining provided them with a lot of help. Not only did she know the mysterious organization well, she also had a strong mental power that could help them resist mental attacks.
"Your plan is too risky!" Murong Xue looked at the map on the table with a frown on her face. "The organization's headquarters is heavily guarded. If you act rashly like this, you are like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."
"No venture, no gain." Xiao Yichen's eyes were firm. "We must destroy the core of the organization in order to completely crush their conspiracy."
"But..." Murong Xue wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Mengmeng.
"I believe in Yichen, and I believe in you too." Chu Mengmeng looked at everyone with a firm look in her eyes, "We can definitely defeat evil and protect this city."
Her eyes fell on an ancient book on the bookshelf, which was an ancient magic book she had been studying recently. Perhaps she could find a way to strengthen the team from it...
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window lattice, falling on the desk, illuminating a yellowed ancient book. Chu Mengmeng rubbed her sleepy eyes, put down the book in her hand, and stretched. Since she learned about the conspiracy of the mysterious organization, she began to use all her free time to study this ancient magic book that she found in the antique shop.
Between the pages, the ancient words seemed full of magic, attracting Chu Mengmeng to explore further. She found that the book did not record some forbidden techniques that could destroy the world, but some methods to enhance mental strength and control the power of elements. Although these methods seemed very complicated, Chu Mengmeng enjoyed them. She believed that as long as she mastered these powers, she could contribute to the team in the fight against the mysterious organization.
"Are you studying your magic book again?" Xiao Yichen walked into the room with a cup of steaming milk. Looking at Chu Mengmeng's focused expression, his eyes were full of doting.
"Well, I found something very interesting." Chu Mengmeng raised her head and pointed at the pattern on the page excitedly, "Look, this formation seems to be able to enhance mental strength!"
"Be careful not to get carried away." Xiao Yichen smiled and rubbed her head, handing her the milk. "Don't rush into cultivation. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest."
"Got it, Teacher Xiao!" Chu Mengmeng stuck out her tongue mischievously, took the milk and took a sip. The sweet aroma of the milk dispelled the chill of the early morning and warmed her heart.
After breakfast, Xiao Yichen began a day of martial arts training. He held a long sword and danced in the yard. The sword light flashed, and his figure was as fast as the wind, as if he was integrated with the surrounding trees. Since joining the fight against evil, he has practiced harder, hoping to become stronger and protect Chu Mengmeng and their common ideals.
Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also often came to the courtyard to discuss the next plan with them. Murong Xue used her ability to secretly observe the movements of the mysterious organization and provide them with intelligence.
As the days passed, life in the courtyard was peaceful and warm, but everyone knew that the calm before the storm would not last long, and a greater crisis was quietly approaching...
On a dark and windy night, Chu Mengmeng was studying a magic book under the lamp. Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew in from the window and blew a white letter onto her desk. Chu Mengmeng picked up the letter and found that there was no signature on it, only a line of beautiful handwriting:
"Be careful, they are going to attack xxx..."
At the end of the letter, there was a strange symbol, like a butterfly spreading its wings and ready to fly. Chu Mengmeng was startled, and a chill ran from her feet to her head. Who is xxx? The letter didn't say it clearly, but the three x's were like three heavy question marks, weighing her down. She looked over the letter again and again, trying to find more clues, but to no avail. The butterfly symbol spreading its wings and ready to fly cast a shadow over her heart.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yichen noticed that Chu Mengmeng was acting strangely, put down the book in his hand, and walked to her side.
Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, handed the letter to Xiao Yichen, and said in a serious tone: "Look."
Xiao Yichen took the letter and read it carefully, frowning slightly. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you recognize this handwriting?"
Chu Mengmeng shook her head. The handwriting was beautiful and elegant, obviously written by a woman, but she was sure that she did not know the person who wrote the letter.
"Have you ever seen this symbol?" Xiao Yichen pointed to the butterfly symbol at the end of the letter.
Chu Mengmeng shook her head again. This was the first time she saw this symbol, but for some reason, she always felt like she had seen it before, as if she had seen it in a dream.
"It seems that our mysterious friend wants to remind us of something." Xiao Yichen pondered, "But the information is too obscure, we need more clues."
"Who could it be?" Chu Mengmeng muttered to herself, and familiar faces flashed through her mind, Su Mubai, Lin Wan'er, Murong Xue... But soon, she rejected these names one by one. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were her most trusted friends, and they could never be related to the mysterious organization; although Murong Xue was once a member of the mysterious organization, she had already turned to the light and had been helping them in secret.
"Could it be..." Chu Mengmeng suddenly thought of something, raised her head abruptly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
"What have you thought of?" Xiao Yichen keenly caught the change in Chu Mengmeng's expression.
Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and slowly said a name. This name, like a thunder, exploded between the two of them, breaking the tranquility of the night and foreshadowing that a bigger storm was about to come...
