Chapter Seventy-Three: The Approaching Truth (1)

Early the next morning, Ouyang Ruolin woke up from her sleep violently. Look out the window, it's already dawning. She hurriedly got up and walked to the dressing mirror, but suddenly remembered the woman in red she saw last night.

"That guy last night...... Is that true? It's a dream, right? Despite this, she gently lifted her veil in the mirror with curiosity, then sighed and smiled again, and the veil covered half of her face again.

"Sure enough, it's really me dreaming, how could there be such a thing? Heh~ Whimsical! She simply freshened up, and then went out to find Xuan Zhuyi and a few people. Even if the prince's banquet is over like this, he has been worried for a long time, and he will not be able to withstand the events of this night after all. But a few people didn't want to go back to Lingxian Pavilion yet, that is, they saw the opportunity to play outside for a few more days. In order to prevent Mu Zhixi and Mu Jinggong from running into people they knew, several people ran to wander on the street on the other side of the other gate, which was diametrically opposed to the Mu Mansion back then. On the night of the fifteenth day, Yu Tzu-hyuk wandered around with everyone like no one else, but Shang Ling was still not at ease and followed her from beginning to end.

Mu Jinggong: "Next month is the Dragon Boat Festival, right?"

Xuan Zhuyi: "Yes! Year after year, it's been so fast. Seeing that, we have all been in Lingsenkaku for a year. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Yes, it's been a year, but it's only been half a year to practice in Lingxian Pavilion, right?"

Mu Jinggong: "There are too many things in this whole year, although we have only been in the mountains for half a year, but I think our skills have grown!" Don't talk about me, it's only been a few months since I followed Master to learn medical skills, so let's talk about you. I feel that your skills have really grown a lot! ”

Shang Ling: "Fighting with this and that all day long, can your skills not grow?" Besides, when we were in Lingxian Pavilion, we not only competed in martial arts, but also followed Shizun to suppress demon beasts. Now I went down the mountain, and I met the spirit, I saw Kuiba, and I fought the snake together. I think, life, it's just a year, and you can go through so many things completely, and you can't say anything about growing up! Besides, in a year's time, so many unlucky things have happened, I guess there are only a few of us, right? There is a good saying, when people are unlucky, they really stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "Hahaha! I have no regrets in this life! ”

Mu Zhixi: "I can't have no regrets, there are still serious things to do."

Ouyang Ruolin: "What's the matter?"

Mu Zhixi: "The two of us sisters want to find the person who slaughtered my Mu Mansion and personally kill him."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Isn't that Meng San Gongzi already dead?"

Mu Jinggong: "Meng Sangongzi is dead, but I believe someone must have instructed him to do this."

Shang Ling: "Where can you see it?"

Mu Zhixi: "This, we still ...... it now"

Yu Cihe, who hadn't spoken for a long time, took over the conversation and said: "Meng San Gongzi is the son of a prominent family in the high gate, and his father is not an official in the court, so the interests of Meng Mansion and Mu Mansion do not conflict with each other, and it is even more impossible for Meng San Gongzi to go to slaughter the Mansion because of any personal grievances, and he does not have such great ability." The only thing that can be explained is that there are people in the court who have entanglements with Mufu and take a fancy to Meng Sangongzi, or Meng Sangongzi has some handle in the hands of that person, so that person wants to borrow Meng Sangongzi's hand to take revenge. In the final analysis, it is quite strange that Meng Sangongzi has to die. To say that he committed suicide in fear of sin is better to be a scapegoat for others. The real mastermind behind the scenes can be completely involved in this matter because of the death of Meng Sangongzi, even if the court wants to investigate, there is no evidence, no point, and there is nothing to do, so it has no choice but to temporarily suppress this matter, so as not to make people panic. ”

Mu Jinggong: "Then who will be the real mastermind behind the scenes?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "It must be someone in the court."

"Someone in the court?" Mu Zhixi thought about it, and suddenly said in surprise, "We can go and ask Lord Nangong!" ”

Mu Jinggong: "Nangong Wei Ran?"

Mu Zhixi nodded heavily and said, "Hmm."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Who is Nangong Wei Ran?"

Mu Jinggong: "It's Zishu's brother-in-law's father, and he is a friend who has a good relationship with his father."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Then does he know that your two sisters are still alive?"

Mu Jinggong shook his head slightly.

Xuan Zhuyi: "Now that you go rashly, I'm afraid it will backfire." Let's discuss it again and find a suitable time to visit him again? ”

Mu Zhixi was silent and nodded silently.

During the conversation, the group walked to a stall selling veils. Ouyang Ruolin stood in front of the stall, looking at the various veils, and was overjoyed, so she picked it up. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing away some of the veils on Ouyang Ruolin's face. It just so happened that there was a group of thugs standing next to this stall, and when they saw Ouyang Ruolin's face after lifting the veil, they laughed so unscrupulously regardless of the surprised eyes of others, and shouted while laughing: "Come and see, such an ugly person dares to come to the street!" Look at the three beauties behind her, she still has the face to stand among them, it's shameless! These two sons are also talents, and they are not fools, right? How can such a person be allowed to stand in the midst of them?! Ah! Others are embarrassed to rush, for fear of hurting the harmony, but they really have the face to stand here! At this time, the gangsters were already surrounded by people, most of whom were watching the show here with the mentality that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement. When Ouyang Ruolin heard this, she only felt aggrieved and ashamed, and big tears fell. Xuan Zhuyi stepped forward and stood beside Ouyang Ruolin, looked at the few gangsters opposite and said, "What does it matter to you what the girl looks like?" Don't speak ill of others and hurt yourself here! ”

Hey! We said you're not happy about him? The leader of the gangster said indifferently, "She is ugly and wants to come out to harm others, this son, see that you are also a talent, don't blame me for not reminding you, you dare to stay by your side with such a person?" ”

Xuan Zhuyi frowned and said, "I don't understand, what does it matter to you whether people are beautiful or ugly?" With this spare time, you might as well go and do some serious things! I don't care if she's beautiful or ugly, I'm happy to stay around, you care about me? ”

"Humph!" The gangster at the head spat a few mouthfuls on the ground and said, "This son, seeing that you are equipped with a sword, you want to be a person who cultivates immortals and cultivators, right?" I really don't understand, you cultivators don't have requirements for the appearance of your disciples? Looking so ugly and thinking about cultivating immortals? Isn't this the legendary toad who wants to eat swan meat? Yes? Hahaha! This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.

Ouyang Ruolin held back her tears and turned around to leave, but was stopped by the gangsters on the opposite side: "Oops, what's wrong?" I've just said these two sentences before leaving? If you're gone, our brothers' jokes will be gone! ”

Xuan Zhuyi gently pressed his hand on his waist and said, "Don't go too far!"

"Oops, what's wrong? We're just talking a couple of words, this boy, you're not happy? It's really not worth getting angry about such an ugly bastard! This son, look back at the three girls behind you, they are more beautiful than the other! Why do you like to stare at this ugly thing in front of you? Could it be that you have a unique taste and like such ugliness? Hahaha! This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.

Shang Ling stepped forward and said, "Hey! You guys, don't deceive people too much! ”

"What is too much deception? Seriously, two sons, I'm afraid you haven't seen her true face behind the veil, right? ”

Xuan Zhuyi glanced back at Ouyang Ruolin and said, "I said that no matter if she is beautiful or ugly, I will keep her by my side, don't worry about you, hurry up!"

"Yo, it's not a small tone! Don't you really want to see what she looks like behind the veil? ”

Xuan Zhuyi said angrily: "I don't want to see it!" If you want to get out, get out of here! Get out of our way! ”

"Hahaha! I don't think you dare, right? Hahaha! Big? Do you want to see what she looks like after taking off her veil? Let him take off the veil! As soon as these thugs took the lead, the people around them began to heckle.

Mu Zhixi also came over and said, "You have nothing to do all day, so you just wait here to make fun of others?!"

"Girl, what you said is not right, our brothers plan to have a good meal in the restaurant near here, but they didn't want to come here, and they saw such an ugly monster, which affected the appetite of the brothers, what do you say?"

"You!"

"Hey! Girl, if you want me to say, you better let this ugly monster get out of the way as soon as possible, otherwise, you will have a bumpy road in the future! ”

was making noise, and one of the gangsters came around Ouyang Ruolin's side at some point, and while everyone was not paying attention, he rushed forward and grabbed Ouyang Ruolin's veil, pulled it down with a smile, and then threw it into the air. When the gangster leader saw that the plan had succeeded, he hurriedly shouted to the people around him: "Oops! Take a look! The veil of ugliness has been lifted! Everyone looked at Ouyang Ruolin, who had been lifted from the veil. And Ouyang Ruolin was obviously shocked by this sudden change, and the veil was gone, so she had to block it with her hands. Yu Cihe stepped forward a few steps, kicked away the gangster who took Ouyang Ruolin's veil, and with a light skill, took off the veil flying in the sky and handed it to Ouyang Ruolin. As soon as the gangster leader saw that the show was about to be smashed, he hurriedly shouted again: "It's all ripped off, what do you want to do?" How good it is to generously admit that you are an ugly bastard! Ouyang Ruolin's hand suddenly clenched the veil, and her other hand was still blocking her face. She turned to look at the group of thugs, then at the people around her who were waiting to see the show, and suddenly said, "Okay! You want to see a play, don't you? I'm going to satisfy you today, let you watch the scene happily, and let you see how ugly the ugly monsters in your mouth are?! Ouyang Ruolin put down the hand that was blocking her face violently, and walked towards everyone step by step, her eyes were full of tears and said, "How is it?" See? Are you satisfied?! The people who were waiting to watch the play couldn't laugh when they really saw Ouyang Ruolin's face behind the veil. A few thugs looked around at their eyes that were a little straight, and quickly laughed and retreated from the crowd. Shang Ling stepped forward to coax the crowd watching the play and said, "Okay, okay!" Don't look at it! Don't look at it! Go home and do something serious! Xuan Zhuyi stepped forward, patted Ouyang Ruolin's shoulder with his hand, and comforted, "It's okay, let's go back, right?" Facing the crowd that dispersed, Ouyang Ruolin finally cried. She turned to look at Xuan Zhuyi and said, "Senior brother, am I particularly ugly?" Xuan Zhuyi looked at Ouyang Ruolin and was suddenly stunned. Ouyang Ruolin continued: "It's me who has held everyone back, it's me who has made everyone unhappy, and I probably shouldn't have continued to follow you a long time ago." It's Ruolin's fault, Ruolin will leave. Saying that, Ouyang Ruolin was about to leave, but was stopped by Xuan Zhuyi and said, "No, you are my junior sister, you can't go."
