smile to heart

=====================

The surface of the lake is flat, and the heart is still confused.

Mu Yun carefully considered his words, trying to minimize the psychological blow to Lu Shutong: "Miss Lu, I have been thinking about it for a long time these days..."

"Then what is the result of your consideration?"

Lu Shutong asked impatiently, concealing the panic in her heart. She was afraid that Mu Yun would go back on his word and would reject her at the expense of breaking the contract.

Mu Yun frowned deeply, turned to face Lu Shutong, looked into her flustered eyes, pursed his lips, and finally declined solemnly: "I'm sorry."

Just three words overturned all of Lu Shutong's hopes. She looked up in disbelief, wanting to cry.

"I'm sorry for what? You promised me, you can't go back on it, I'm Tongtong, I'm Tongtong, didn't you write so many words about me on paper? Don't you want to see me? Why now I see, if I say I'm sorry, what's wrong with me, what makes you so dissatisfied that you want to break the contract."

Mu Yun stood on one side in embarrassment, helpless, so he had to hand over a brocade handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Miss Lu, I am ashamed of you for this matter. I will never forget your life-saving grace, but this is not the same as sacrificing your life-long event for my benefit. I have a personal moral fault and am not worthy of it." Miss Lu is so fond of her, please give up this invalid promise, and find someone you like as soon as possible, instead of being wasted by dishonest villains like me..."

Lu Shutong stared at his profile with tears in his eyes, and retorted unwillingly.

"But the person I like is you! Do you know that I have liked you since I was a child and admired you since I was a child. In my heart, you are so gentle and polite, so understanding, so praised by others, so outstanding... Looking at the whole world Tong Jiang, who can compare to you? How dare you belittle yourself and call yourself a villain?"

"Do you know, I followed your footsteps step by step, because you are so perfect, so I also hope that I am perfect, in order to be worthy of you, day and night, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, women's three virtues, There is nothing that people say is good. But do you think that what I care about is the praise of those people, I just want your approval..."

"Brother Jingyao, don't go back on your word, okay?"

The more Lu Shutong talked, the more aggrieved he was, he waved away the brocade handkerchief in front of him, and wiped his tears with his hands in anger, so that his eyes were red, so as to win the sympathy and love of the other party.

Mu Yun was determined, and had already left the top position to another person. Although his heart was soft, he remained indifferent on the face: "I broke the appointment and made you pay for it. Except for marriage, I am willing to accept any compensation you want. Miss Lu, you don't have to be sad for me anymore, it's not worth it. "

"It's worth it! It's all worth it, as long as you are willing to marry me, everything is worth it. You never break your promise, why do you reject me like this?"

Lu Shutong had already collapsed, and desperately, taking advantage of the situation when he was at a loss, he hugged Mu Yun violently, refusing to give up and fight back.

Mu Yun was in a mess, and pushed the people apart in repulsion, and then retreated several steps, still in shock.Lu Shutong held on to the stone table in embarrassment, staring at him unwillingly, tears welling up more quickly.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Mu Yun helped her up guiltily and apologized repeatedly.

Lu Shutong was disheartened, but he was unwilling: "Why? Can you tell me the truth, why did you break the contract?"

Mu Yun thought for a while, then compromised and sighed: "Because, my heart belongs to me. I have even formed a contract with him. In this life, I will never betray him!"

With such a firm tone, Lu Shutong covered his mouth in disbelief, and even suspected that Mu Yun was telling a lie in order to reject him.But seeing what he said was so sure and true, Lu Shutong burst into tears and shook his head in pain.

"I'm sorry." Mu Yun apologized again, with a sincere attitude.

Lu Shutong turned from grief to anger, and asked viciously: "Who is she? Who is she? What kind of charm is there that can make you change your mind in such a short period of time? Even for her, you don't hesitate to destroy your reputation for the rest of your life?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Miss Lu."

Out of the protection of his heart, what Mu Yun blurted out was extremely cold.

Lu Shutong couldn't bear it anymore, pushed him away bitterly, and cried bitterly: "You will regret it, you will definitely regret it."

"Sorry……"

Mu Yun frowned, and looked at her back with pity, full of self-blame.He sadly recalled that in his dream at midnight, the veil of the Tongtong girl in the mountain forest was lifted, and it was the open-minded young man who laughed loudly, so he woke up from the dream in shock.

On Kuocang Mountain, there is a strange atmosphere.

After Fang Yanxiao brought Li Yuanqian back, she hurriedly escaped from the underground palace that she hated after discussing matters in the main hall. At this moment, facing the evening wind, the meaning of leaning on the railing was self-evident.

Luo Qingchen lazily propped up his fan, and came slowly: "Master Fang Yue, you're still back after all."

"What's the matter? Whether I'm going or staying, do I need your permission?" Fang Yanxiao gave him a disdainful look.

"Uh...why do you have to be so hostile to me? Didn't I cooperate with you well during the few days at Huayue Villa?"

Fang Yanxiao paused for a moment, and avoided the topic: "By the way, the God Venerable's state is a bit abnormal recently, is he insane?"

"Hmph. I have to ask what good deed Feng Mei has done? Half of Tai Sui Gu was stolen by him, and the power of consciousness will only eat back the host's soul body even more. God Venerable, he just hasn't noticed it yet."

Fang Yanxiao thought for a moment: "Then why didn't you remind him?"

"After the reminder? It's the same thing if you don't believe it. If you believe it, who will do the legwork for him, and then go to teach Feng Mei's stinky face? Is Fang Yue willing to help?" Luo Qingchen said lazily.

Fang Yanxiao teased him: "It seems that Deputy Hierarch Luo is not very loyal..."

"Ming people don't talk dark words, why do you and I work for him, we both know each other, don't we?"

"It used to be. Now it's not." Fang Yanxiao sighed easily.

Luo Qingchen hesitated for a while, not yet guessing the meaning of her words, and said seriously: "This time the god called us back in a hurry, do you know why?"

"Judging from the things he told me to do in the past few days, it should be that his ambitions are inflated and he is eager to attack the mountains?" Fang Yanxiao said helplessly with a worried expression on her face.

Luo Qingchen nodded: "The main reason is that the immortal in Jiugai Mountain suddenly became silent, and I don't know what kind of tricks he was playing. The god wants to take this opportunity to capture Jiugai Mountain in one fell swoop. I also suspected that this is the immortal Liuzhen It is a way to lure a snake out of the hole, but after thinking about it, if he is really not in a weak position, why should he secretly order to recall Mu Yun and his gang? I am afraid that Xianzun is really in danger at this moment..."

Fang Yanxiao lowered her eyes, and said again: "God ordered me to release the news, saying that the immortal of Jiugao Mountain was seriously ill and was about to die. But I always feel that this trick is useless, not to mention rumors, those people are not I will believe it, not to mention those boys... will definitely find a way to clarify this matter."

"You are just wrong. People in the world really don't believe in false beliefs. They just look at what kind of information is beneficial to them. Besides, there is never a shortage of people who stir up troubles and spread rumors in this world. Let's watch the show, and some of them are for them When you're in a mess."

Luo Qingchen clicked his tongue, feeling inexplicably happy, and waved his fan away.

Fang Yanxiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, she just looked at Cangling in the distance, and thought to herself: As long as Xiaojin is safe and sound, nothing is important.Even if the world is in chaos, my sister will always protect you.

……

Within a few days, news spread that Immortal Liuzhen's life was not long. All sects and sects were scrambling to inform him, and it even intensified.

Fufeng Mujia.

Mu Xi listed the important deeds that she got today, put them on the table, and pointed out one by one: "These people, these places, the rumors are especially strong."

Mu Yun read it carefully, and gradually frowned: "The current situation is turbulent and treacherous, a few false rumors have already made them jump around, and they are in a state of desperation... It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are so sophisticated that they can completely pinch all sects and sects. thought."

"In your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Mu Xi asked seriously.

Mu Yunzhen took the lead and analyzed rationally: "The rumors and rumors are intended to make the city full of storms. If you deliberately block it, you may be falling into the trap of the conspirators."

"Are you going to let it sit on the sidelines?"

"No. Those who intend to cause trouble will be detained resolutely, and the rest will not be pressured for the time being. Right now, the most important thing is to wait for the immortal to leave the customs as soon as possible. This is more effective than any method of dispelling rumors."

After listening to Mu Yun's opinion, Mu Xi nodded slowly, and said: "Now the situation is not clear, take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and people who have criticized you are gradually appearing, you have to be careful."

"Heh." Mu Yun chuckled as if laughing at himself, and didn't answer much, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

After returning to Changting Master's Gate, although Qi Zhong had a temporary rest, he spent most of the day strolling leisurely.He intends to visit his master, but when passing by Yishi Pavilion, he overhears the conversation between Lin and Tang.

In the first half, he was talking about dealing with some people who spread rumors down the mountain, but in the second half, he lowered his voice, as if he was taboo about something.When Qi Zhong heard the word Fufeng, he couldn't help but tighten his heart. He put his ear on the door and listened carefully.

Lin Tang sighed, and said solemnly: "I heard that the Jingxin Tang Sect is already recruiting a large number of disciples, and it is full of power. In addition, the current situation is not clear, and the retreat of the Jiugai Mountain Immortal may become a reason for them to fight openly and secretly. Opportunity."

Qi Yuxing remained silent, drinking tea and thinking.

Lin Tang was worried in his heart, and said again: "Under such fluctuations, you still persuade me to relax? The other sects have no time to care about the rumors, and even set fires in the chaos. Why do we bother to help Feng? They are already The dish that everyone is eyeing is covetous, if you don't let it go, how can you get another candidate for the position of Immortal Venerable?"

Qi Yuxing frowned dissatisfied: "Are you also interested in the power of Jiugai Mountain?"

"Of course not. Our Changting has never been involved in the affairs of such mobsters, but if the situation changes, there should be some self-protection measures."

Lin Tang expressed his heart, and frowned again: "You have seen it too. Mr. Mu San has no strength in his affairs, and he has the title of crown prince for nothing. He is not deterrent enough to provoke such a villain to dance with the wind. As long as he can suppress the rumors as soon as possible Don't let them be so coveted..."

Gently patted the wooden table, Qi Yuxing's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "The more you talk, the more absurd you are. Junior brother, are you following the reckless person and disregarding the seriousness of what you say?"

"Mr. Mu San is acting like this. I really don't know what kind of scheme he has, but if he wants to retreat and take advantage of the time when someone with a heart takes the lead, he will take advantage of the clear political situation and catch them all. If we are not careful to guard against this trick, As for what you said just now, if it falls into the ears of him or Liuzhen Immortal Venerable, maybe Chang Ting will have another heartache."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tang was afraid, and then said in doubt: "But what you took a few days ago, doesn't it mean that Immortal Liuzhen has already..."

"The art of blinding the eyes, the golden cicada escapes its shell... I can't tell."

Qi Yuxing sighed softly, and then instructed: "Jiugai Mountain is silent, and Fufeng is already in power. Even if the Shangjiang sect is restless and wants to fight internally, it may not succeed. During this period, we must keep our lights on and watch the situation from the sidelines." .Actually, what I am most worried about is not only that, the miracle that happened a year ago, do you still remember, Junior Brother?"

Lin Tang cautiously replied: "Didn't you ask that kid Qi Zhong about the matter of spiritual consciousness? Didn't he say that he didn't go down until the return journey? Maybe it was just staying with the real immortal. He didn't think about it because of an emergency. Totally wrong..."

……

"Brother Qi, where are you going?"

As soon as Lin Weier came out of the corridor, he saw Qi Zhong rushing down the mountain with a hurried expression.

"Junior sister, I... I don't want to go anywhere."

Hearing the serious tone of Lin and Tang, Qi Zhong didn't even finish listening, so he rushed to Fufeng to greet him. At this moment, he was stopped by his family, he was a little embarrassed, so he had to stammer and evade the question.

"Oh. I saw you walking in such a hurry, I thought you were going somewhere.

Wei Er simply smiled, without any doubts in his heart.

"Hmm..." Qi Zhong was restless and agreed casually.

Lin Weier chatted with him: "By the way, senior brother, have you heard about it recently? Immortal Liuzhen has been in seclusion for a long time, and it seems that he is about to disappear... And I also heard..."

"It's all rumors. What's so good about it." Qi Zhong glared at her, "What else have you heard?"

Lin Weier curled his lips, and told him kindly: "I heard that Mr. Mu has been troubled by this matter, and he has fallen ill. Now Mr. Mu is helping to take care of it. Everyone says he is young , I don’t have enough qualifications, so I’m not suitable to take over the position of Immortal Venerable..."

"Nonsense! What's the relationship between age and ability? A group of bastards, selfish, will gossip!"

Before Wei Er finished speaking, he was too shocked by Qi Zhong's excited roar to dare to speak.

"Master, senior brother. I just heard that, so don't be angry." She explained weakly.

Qi Zhong felt dissatisfied, he was not reconciled to being so jealous and slandered by someone who was on top of his heart, but when he realized that he was angry at others, he fell silent again.

Lin Weier didn't know how deep the friendship between the two was, but he also knew that the friendship must be deep, and he said kind words to comfort him: "Senior brother, those people just like to talk nonsense, I promise, they will never hear hearsay again. "

Glancing at Qi Zhong's serious face, Lin Wei'er obediently assured that the person she dared to say that was Lin Jing.

Swallowing his throat, Qi Zhong felt irritable, and asked awkwardly, "Is... is he really sick?"

"Ah? Who?" Lin Weier thought that he had already bypassed this topic, but unexpectedly asked again. After reacting, he replied cautiously, "I don't know too well. But with so many troubles piled up, I guess It's better not to go anywhere..."

Qi Shengsheng paused, his brows and eyes showed worry: "..."

"Hey, senior brother, where are you going?" Looking up, Lin Weier saw someone running away again, so he quickly stopped him.

"Junior sister, remember to help me hide from Master Lin..."

Knowing where he was going, Lin Weier complained in his heart: He told me not to believe in rumors, isn't this sickness just spread around?It turned out to be faster than a rabbit...
