Chapter 7: Friends

The people in the pavilion were dressed in ink-colored long clothes, and they seemed to feel some movement and turned their heads to look in the direction where Mu Chuning was standing, and then the corners of their mouths were slightly hooked, and their eyes stared straight at Mu Chuning, who was wearing a light green dress in front of him.

"Miss, isn't that person the same person I saw in the temple last time?" Xizhu next to him couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Mu Chuning nodded lightly when she heard this, and when she saw that the person sitting in the pavilion had been staring at her like this, she was a little embarrassed to stay where she was, so she raised her feet and walked towards the pavilion.

"You did come anyway, and I was afraid that you would think you were a liar because of that name and you wouldn't come." Mo Huai said and motioned for Mu Chuning to sit on the stone bench opposite him, and reached out and handed a cup of tea to the stone table in front of Mu Chuning.

"Since you can think that I will think that I am a liar, why do you want to leave the name Nanhuai?" Mu Chuning really didn't understand what this person was thinking.

"I didn't want too many people to know about it, so I took such a name at random, thinking that you also live near here, so I invited you to sit down." Mo Huai said and smiled lightly, "In this way, you are still the first guest of this Nanlin Pavilion." ”

Mu Chuning was a little stunned when she heard this, this person was actually going to live here incognito? "Why don't you want too many people to know?"

"Confidentiality." After Mo Huai finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it to himself.

Seeing that Mo Huai was reluctant to say, Mu Chuning did not continue to ask. Suddenly remembering the purpose of his visit today, his eyes drifted unnaturally to Mo Huai, who was stirring the tea with the lid of the cup, thinking about how to speak.

Although Mo Huai looked at the teacup, he still caught Mu Chuning's small expression, "What do you want to say to me, girl?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Chuning was stunned for a moment, and saw Mo Huai stop playing with the tea and look at his side. Can this person sense what I'm thinking? Mu Chuning thought to herself.

"I want to ask you if there is anyone who knows martial arts?" Mu Chuning paused, and then changed his words: "Or a master who can teach people martial arts?" ”

"The girl wants to learn?" Mo Huai raised his eyebrows. "No, it's my little sister who wants to learn. Have it? Mu Chuning said and looked at Mo Huai expectantly.

"Naturally, there is, but can you think clearly, little sister, practicing martial arts is not child's play." Mo Huai looked at Mu Chuning and said seriously.

"I think she should understand, or I wouldn't have asked you." After all, he still saw the firmness in Mu Chumeng's eyes that day.

Seeing that Mu Chuning's words didn't seem like a joke, she should have been thinking about it for a long time. "Very good, then you will bring your little sister here in two days, and I will arrange a master for her."

Seeing that Mo Huai had already promised herself, Mu Chuning quietly breathed a sigh of relief, originally afraid that the person would not agree to herself. "Then I'll thank Mo Gongzi for my little sister." Mu Chuning said, with irrepressible joy on her face.

"But I have one condition."

Condition? Mu Chuning retracted the joy she had just given and looked at Mo Huai with a puzzled expression.

"Even if you have to come and talk to me every day, it will be your little sister's tuition fee for martial arts, how about it?" After Mo Huai finished speaking, he looked at Mu Chuning and smiled slightly.

Is this man idle? But it's not too much to just say that talking can make Meng'er learn martial arts. Mu Chuning thought, looked up at Mo Huai and nodded, "Deal!" ”

Two days later, Mu Chuning took Mu Chumeng to Nanlin Pavilion together, and Mu Chuning had already explained the reason for the matter to Mu Chumeng in advance before coming. When the two arrived at Nanlin Pavilion, Mo Huai was already waiting in the open space in the courtyard.

"Sister, this is your friend who knows martial arts?" Mu Chumeng whispered in Mu Chumeng's ear as she walked. Mu Chuning saw that she had already walked a little closer to Mo Huai, so she couldn't speak, so she could only nod her head and say yes.

Mo Huai, who was standing not far away, quietly waited for the sisters to come over, and a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed in the corner of his eyes looking at Mu Chuning.

"This is the Mohuai Mo Gongzi I told you." Mu Chuning finished introducing Mu Chumeng and looked at Mo Huai, "This is my little sister Mu Chumeng." ”

"Mo Gongzi is good." Mu Chumeng bowed cautiously, and saw Mo Huai in ink for the first time, the overly calm aura on his body made Mu Chumeng feel a little scared, if this person became his own master, wouldn't he be terrified every day?

And Mo Huai also nodded politely in return.

"Where is the master you arranged?" Mu Chuning looked at the four people who didn't have a fourth person except for the three of them, and it was a little strange why the people arranged by Mo Huai didn't appear together.

"I sent him to do some things a few days ago, and it is estimated that it will take a while to arrive, so you two will follow me into the house to rest first." Mo Huai said and motioned for the two to follow him, and then walked towards the main hall.

Mu Chuning didn't think much about it when she saw Mo Huai say this, and pulled Mu Chumeng to follow.

And Mu Chumeng, who had never spoken, learned that the master who taught him was not Mo Huai, and he was secretly relieved, fortunately, it was not this person who taught him.

Entering the main hall, as soon as Mu Chuning sat down, a servant came up and poured tea for them, and also put a few plates of snacks on the table. At this time, Mu Chuning remembered that he had entered the South Lin Pavilion, and he hadn't seen a single maid walk by along the way, except for Uncle Chen, who had just opened the door for them, and the manservant who was now fiddling with refreshments for them. Could it be that there are only two servants in this South Pavilion, and there is no third servant? Mu Chuning thought to herself, and suddenly felt that her sleeve was gently pulled, and when she looked up, she saw Mo Huai looking at her, with a slight smile in the corner of her eyes.

Mu Chumeng just saw that since she sat down, the gaze of the Mo Gongzi on the other side never left her sister, but when she looked at her sister, she found that she seemed to be thinking about something, so she couldn't help but reach out and gently pull the corner of Mu Chuning's clothes.

Avoiding Mo Huai's sight, Mu Chuning saw that there was exactly the osmanthus cake that Mu Chumeng liked in those plates of dim sum, picked up the chopsticks and put a small plate in front of Mu Chumeng, and smiled slightly.

"It seems that your relationship with your little sister is very good."

"After all, I'm just one of her sisters, so I naturally want to be spoiled." Mu Chuning said, and sandwiched a piece of jujube paste cake for herself.

Seeing that Mu Chuning didn't have any raw points, and was holding the pastries by herself, Mo Huai couldn't help but add a point to Mu Chuning's guts, this little girl was really different from others.

Mu Chumeng, who was eating osmanthus crisp obediently on the side, was a little embarrassed to listen to the conversation between the two, thinking about how the conversation between the two people felt a little different, aren't they friends?

"Sister, are you really friends?" Mu Chumeng couldn't help but whisper in Mu Chuning's ear. Mu Chuning was also stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Mo Huai, and saw that the person was also looking at herself, so she unnaturally opened her eyes and whispered: "Sort of." ”

For Mu Chuning's answer, Mu Chumeng was a little surprised, it was a ...... What does that mean, can it still be counted? If not, then why would you help your sister? Just as he was wondering, he remembered the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then walked in a man dressed in brown.

"Childe, my subordinates will ask Childe for forgiveness for their sins." The man in brown was Li You, who had just returned from Nan'an Mountain, and when he heard that the young master had other tasks assigned to him without guarding the courtyard, Li You couldn't help but be happy in his heart, as long as he didn't have to guard the courtyard alone, he could do anything. The young master said, you can only call the son outside, you can't call the young master, fortunately I still remember, otherwise it will be troublesome for people to listen to and expose their identity.

"Excuse me, then you can teach your apprentice well."

"Apprentice?"

When Li You heard Mo Huai say this, he found that in addition to the young master, there were two girls sitting in the house, and he couldn't react for a while. Before he came back, he only knew that there were few important things for him to do, but he didn't hear that he was asked to teach his disciples, let alone a female apprentice.

Seeing that Li You didn't speak for a long time, Mu Chuning couldn't help but ask Mo Huai, "Who is this?" ”

"This is the subordinate who has been doing things for me, Liyou. He has a deep foundation and is very suitable for being a master to teach your little sister. Mo Huai looked at Li You, who had not yet figured out the situation, and sighed lightly. However, he didn't listen to what he was told that day.

"It turned out to be Master Li, I am Mu Chuning, this is my little sister Mu Chumeng, if there is anything wrong with my little sister in the future, please bear with me." Mu Chuning walked up to Liyou and smiled, pulling Mu Chumeng to the front, and motioned for her to say something with her eyes.

"The little woman Mu Chumeng wants to ask the master for advice!" Mu Chumeng said and saluted.

Liyou, who finally figured out the state, smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't dare to be, you can call me Liyou." ”

Seeing that Liyou had agreed to teach herself, Mu Chumeng was very happy, and her lively temperament, which had been suppressed for so long, was released at once, "Then you can teach me now?" ”

"Yes, please come with me." After Liyou nodded in agreement, he took Mu Chumeng out of the main hall. Mu Chumeng also followed excitedly, leaving her sister and everything behind.

For a while, only Mu Chuning and Mo Huai were left in the main hall.

The atmosphere that suddenly became quiet seemed a little awkward for both of them. Mu Chuning looked at the direction Mu Chumeng left, and then quietly glanced at Mo Huai who was standing aside, thinking about whether she should say something to ease the atmosphere?

"It turns out that our relationship is just 'friends'."

"This ......"

Mu Chuning was a little stunned when he heard this, it turned out that he had heard everything he had just said to Mu Chumeng. But she can't be blamed for this, the main thing is that she can't tell what she has to do with this person.

"I mean, it's ...... between us"

"Friends?"

"Yes."

The two looked at each other at the same time as they spoke, and in the end, Mu Chuning couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and Mo Huai also seemed to be infected by this smile, and the corners of his mouth opened a trace of arc.
