Mu Linjiang came in with a voice, and Ye Yunzhou just sat down, pretending to be serious about his work, but he heard an apology from outside the door: "I knocked wrong, so I'm leaving."

Ye Yunzhou: "..." This room is the only one on the whole floor, you typed wrong?

Ye Yunzhou opened the letter and said, "Who was it just now? He doesn't seem to be afraid of you."

"Ying Xuanyang, the master of Suxiao Palace." Mu Linjiang introduced, "All the common affairs of Jixiao Palace are handled by him, and he probably wants to allocate funds again."

"So you are responsible for raising flowers and making tea?" Ye Yunzhou asked.

"It's good that the palace master knows how to use people well, so there's no need to do everything yourself." Mu Linjiang said leisurely, "Keep reading."

Ye Yunzhou had no choice but to continue tearing apart those messy letters. The paper was piled up on the table before he found a serious one: "Will you attend the [-]th birthday celebration of Master Ling Cang in Cultivation Realm?"

"Invitation card?" Mu Linjiang was taken aback.

"No, it's Chonghua Immortal Sect Master Xia who asked you." Ye Yunzhou handed the letter to Mu Linjiang's desk, and he keenly noticed that after hearing his denial, Mu Linjiang showed a trace of normalcy, as expected, He thought for a while and suggested kindly, "Silent Shadow is not far from the realm of cultivation, how about you go make some friends in the Mahayana period, it will help you adjust your mentality."

Mu Linjiang threw the letter paper to Ye Yunzhou again at a glance, and said with a sneer, "I'm not a child."

"Then what's your relationship with Clan Master Xia? He asked you privately, are you friends?" Ye Yunzhou asked the bottom line. He became more and more curious about Mu Linjiang's interpersonal relationship. In the original book, everyone avoided Mu Linjiang. Although he occasionally mentioned the mainland outside the three capitals of the Cangmin sea area, it didn't say whether Mu Linjiang had any relatives or friends.

"It's all about business contacts." Mu Linjiang looked indifferent, "Xia Qiulan is shrewd and wants to pull me over to show his connections with Zhonghua Xianmen. He has no sincerity. You filter all the rest of the letters and write down the time most importantly. The content of the location, recorded in the jade slips, a copy of the letter rubbings, both the rubbings and the jade slips were given to Hall Master Ying for arrangement, and the originals were sent to the Juanzong Pavilion for sealing..."

Ye Yunzhou memorized it in a daze, and at the same time felt bad: "What about you?"

"I'm going to make tea." Mu Linjiang got up leisurely, "If you have any doubts, you can ask for advice in Suxiao Hall, no one dares to be impatient with you."

Ye Yunzhou: "..." You use your arrogance in the right place, okay?

Ye Yunzhou comforted himself that this is also a kind of trust, which shows that Mu Linjiang has an extraordinary bearing. He learned to memorize things in the jade slips half by groping and half by talent. It was already noon when the hands were empty.

Before Mu Linjiang came back, Ye Yunzhou rubbed his neck and went out to get some air. A group of young girls gathered in the corridor outside Suxiao Hall, one of them was the Suxiao Guard on duty, surrounded by a few idle maids.

"...I didn't expect the palace master to arrange such a trivial and troublesome position. I thought at least I would be a hall master."

"I heard that Mr. Ye only has foundation building, and if his strength is not enough, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."

Ye Yunzhou didn't want to eavesdrop at first, but when he heard his name, he couldn't help but stop and quietly hid behind the pillars.

"It's okay to have a nominal job." The Su Xiaowei girl continued: "I heard from the boss that they got up early in the morning and went up the mountain with great interest. The Palace Mistress really loves Young Master Ye."

When the maids heard that the source of the news was Wei Yi, they all believed in it: "I think the civil servants are also good, and they can meet the palace master every moment. If the palace master is satisfied, it should not be so scary."

The other maid was full of misery when she heard the words: "Tomorrow, I will be on duty to deliver refreshments to Suxiao Hall for the first time. I'm afraid I will have nightmares tonight. Sister, please tell me how you are interested, otherwise I won't want to do anything in the afternoon."

Ye Yunzhou listened quietly for a long time before he was sure why Wei saw him so meaningfully.

Only half a day had passed, and the rumors had spread.

The girl with a high ponytail, Su Xiaowei, became more and more excited as she chatted with the maids, and her braids swayed. He felt exaggerated when he heard the end, so he turned around with his forehead up and planned to go back to make some tea to calm down.

As soon as he turned his head, Ye Yunzhou hurriedly saw Mu Linjiang leaning against the wall with his arms folded between the pillars in the back.

Mu Linjiang still had enough time to shake his finger on his arm.

Ye Yunzhou pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a disgusted expression, he thought that Mu Linjiang was a good-looking person who looked like a dog, his face didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat when he heard these gossip, he was really a bit of a beast in clothes.

"How long have you been listening?" Ye Yunzhou lowered his voice and beckoned him to go back.

"Longer than you." Mu Linjiang said calmly.

Ye Yunzhou hissed: "This is the result you want? They even dare to make up what color underwear you wear, and they don't take you seriously."

"So what if I make it up." Mu Linjiang didn't care, "No one dared to come to me for verification."

Ye Yunzhou: "..." You still want someone to come.

So Ye Yunzhou wanted to tease Mu Linjiang to see if it would embarrass Mu Linjiang, so he became the No.1 one who dared to ask for proof: "So what color are you wearing?"

Mu Linjiang: "..."

Mu Linjiang finally showed his charming smile: "Shall I take it off for you to see?"

Ye Yunzhou's expression tightened and he said in a solemn voice: "No way!"

"Don't worry, I will clarify when the time is right." Mu Linjiang promised.

Ye Yunzhou rolled his eyes down, thinking that he didn't know when the time would be right, his face would be steamed.

As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Regardless of men and women inside and outside the Silent Night Palace, everyone has a very high enthusiasm for gossip Mu Linjiang. After following Mu Linjiang in business for three days, on the fourth day, I heard keywords such as the compulsory confession in the study, writing brush, etc. It is indeed an open and advanced society of self-cultivation.

In addition to chattering, he even formed written materials—but he heard Mr. Ye throwing the little penny and complaining with tears on his face: "You can only speak sweet words, those fairies and lords are all beauties, how can I talk to you?" The old picture is so good! Why don't I go by myself and let you be happy!"

The palace lord hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I have never met a vulgar fan, and I only want to be a fairy couple with you."

Young Master Ye just wept and said nothing, the palace lord persuaded him nicely, picked up the brush and played with him.

Ye Yunzhou was knocking the temporary bound script on Mu Linjiang's desk at this time, and said angrily: "Ying Xuanyang must have driven this out, and his hands are very fast! You are talking nonsense, he took the meaning out of context, and the palace master is so idle? I'm busier than him!"

Mu Linjiang drank tea unmoved: "Why are you so angry, I will only be with you as a fairy couple, what else do you want? Oh, I really can't do anything about you."

Ye Yunzhou: "You... shut up right now."

Ye Yunzhou meditated on his temperament, self-restraint, and he could not swear

He picked up a brush and threw it towards Mu Linjiang, and said bitterly: "Besides, why did I cry and drop the brush? Can't I get angry and drop the brush? In fact, it is passed on, and those who make big things don't care about small things, but I can't accept it." This crying character."

Mu Linjiang took the brush and hung it on the pen holder, thinking that the character design is the least important part, okay: "There are people outside again, I don't want to be rumored to be jealous, you'd better be quiet for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yunzhou heard a burst of hurried footsteps, like servants.

Mu Linjiang tapped his finger on the table, and the ring projected a cloud image in mid-air, and looked at the report passed to him by his subordinates.

Ye Yunzhou adjusted his expression instantly and put on a kind smile: "Please come in."

The study room was slowly pushed open, and a young servant came in with two stacks of refreshments. He walked cautiously to Mu Linjiang's table. Ye Yunzhou saw that he was almost putting down one of them with his head down and his eyes closed. Mu Linjiang didn't say anything. , Sweating on his forehead, he put another copy on Ye Yunzhou's table, clutching the tray tightly, and bowed back.

Ye Yunzhou stared at his back thoughtfully, glanced at the refreshments, and was about to speak when a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up the window in the study, and the surrounding light was swallowed by something, and it was gradually falling into silent darkness.

"stop."

In the sudden silence, Mu Linjiang Gujing's voiceless voice suddenly sounded out mixed with rustling echoes.

Ye Yunzhou listened carefully, and found that the rustling sound was like a noise composed of countless short shrieks and wailings, distorted into the word "stand still", and the temples of those who listened were throbbing.

The servant let out a scream, and the tray trembled and fell from his hands, his face turned pale, and he remained motionless as if he had been nailed to the spot.

"Look up." Mu Linjiang ordered coldly.

The boy turned around tremblingly, a pair of invisible hands pinched his head and forced him to move, a hoarse and strange echo echoed in his mind, and the moment he was forced to raise his head, he saw a pair of huge eye sockets that filled the study room. , Thick pus dripped from the eyelids, and countless wriggling poisonous snakes drilled out of the squeezed and deformed eyeballs.

The vertical pupils of each poisonous snake are also agitated and swelled, and the new cub pokes out of the eyes like a cocoon, revealing blood-red flesh and white fangs.

"Don't come here... help! There are eyes, there are snakes... help me!" The boy waved his hands wildly with horror on his face. He felt the slippery and greasy touch left in his hands, and frantically wiped his hands on his clothes, but immediately came back again. His whole body was cold, and the thickness of the soft clothes he grasped sank... like a snake's body.

Before the boy passed out, he even tore off his own hair.

Mu Linjiang's flashing purple eyes returned to their usual appearance, the house was lit up again, and the vast and gentle warm yellow of the setting sun penetrated into the room. Mu Linjiang got up and opened the window, and stood quietly at the window, as if the person had been taken away just now. It wasn't him who was stunned.

Ye Yunzhou doesn't share the pessimism of human beings, he just thinks it's cool.

"I quite like snakes." Ye Yunzhou dragged his chin with one hand, shook a piece of pastry, shook it, and put it back, "It was just a phantom he saw, can you get me one too? I want black, The kind that can be wrapped around your hands, if you can do it, I won’t care about the book with you.”

"I just let him see what he fears." Mu Linjiang turned his head and gave Ye Yunzhou a deep look, "What are you afraid of?"

Ye Yunzhou suddenly regretted: "Unfortunately, I am so bold."

"Hmph, how did you find out that there was something wrong with him?" Mu Linjiang ended the topic.

"It's normal for him to be afraid of you, but it's strange for him to be afraid of me." Ye Yunzhou said, "Others are curious about me, admire me, and some people have a little sympathy for me. Isn't it abnormal that he is the only one who is nervous? People can bear it too much."

"What if I don't stop him?" Mu Linjiang asked again.

"Of course my style is gentler than yours." Ye Yunzhou emphasized, "Stay here for a chat, just finish these refreshments. If there is no problem, just treat it as a closer relationship. If there is a problem, you will do your own crimes and live."

Mu Linjiang didn't know whether he agreed or opposed, the corner of his mouth twitched. Looking at Ye Yunzhou's pure and harmless face, he suddenly felt that he was like a poisonous snake with beautiful scales, and his color was seductive. When he opened his mouth, you thought he was smiling, but He's brewing a deadly venom ready to go.

Ye Yunzhou carried the teapot, walked up to the boy and squatted down, turned him over, and saw that he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his face was grim. Although he was not seriously injured, he probably left behind a more terrifying psychological shadow than the serious injury.

"That was... the legendary panic sound just now?" Ye Yunzhou wiped his ears with his knuckles, and his eardrums buzzed, "Why are you attacking indiscriminately?"

"Since you're not afraid, why should I hold back." Mu Linjiang raised the corners of his lips, happy that he finally cheated Ye Yunzhou once, "Or you can't take it anymore?"

"If you don't say anything more, I will strike." Ye Yunzhou threatened him. The original book mentioned that Mu Linjiang possessed two lost skills, one with dark pupils and the other with panic voices. As a result, Mu Linjiang has become an evil lord who cannot be directly looked at and cannot be defied.

Those maids and servants discussed him behind their backs, Mu Linjiang just smiled and never pursued him, but when Mu Linjiang appeared in front of them, they dared not say anything again.

It's like Mu Linjiang will always be the only one in this world.

Mu Linjiang turned around consciously, lest the boy would faint from fright after waking up. Ye Yunzhou poured a pot of tea on the boy's face, and when he coughed and opened his eyes, he handed over a handkerchief with a smile.

"Sir, are you okay? Wipe your face first." Ye Yunzhou said softly, "Who ordered you to do something during the refreshment?"

The boy was in a trance, clutching his handkerchief and said in a trembling voice, "I'm peeping... It's the elders' house, it's the elders' house that forced me."

He took a sharp breath, grabbed Ye Yunzhou's hand and cried loudly: "I was forced! I beg Mr. Ye to kill me, I just want to die! Please don't hand me over to the Palace Master!"

Ye Yunzhou grabbed his wrist and moved away little by little, and glanced at Mu Linjiang who was lying on the window sill watching the scenery.

In the early stage of the original book, there was a cannon fodder character in the elders’ house. The male protagonist was imprisoned by Mu Linjiang. The first chance to escape was created by this person. He said that he sympathized with the male protagonist and couldn’t bear to see him tortured, so he gave the male protagonist a pack of ecstasy , let the male lead put down the guard, go down the mountain to meet him according to the route he said, he will lead the male lead out of the magic cave, but it is a pity that Mu Linjiang found out, blocking the mountain gate failed.

The hero would rather be insulted than insist on refusing to confess. Later, Mu Linjiang found out about this person and brought him directly to the hero to control him. He asked him to cut open his chest, pluck out his heart and put it in front of the hero. The hero scared him on the spot. fainted.

Ye Yunzhou has always felt that this motive is not reliable. Those who spend every day at the top of the Palace of Silent Night, who doesn't know Mu Linjiang's virtue, as for others to get mad and self-destruct his career?

Of course, simple and good people are not ruled out, but now that this boy has confessed to the elders' house, Ye Yunzhou has to doubt it.

Ye Yunzhou patted the boy on the shoulder, and said to Mu Linjiang, "Lend me a sword."

Mu Linjiang peeked slightly from one side: "Are you going to kill someone?"

"I want to go down the mountain." Ye Yunzhou said firmly.
