Chapter 39: Ye Xuan

Mu Li stared at the man in front of him who he had bought, looked at it repeatedly, and became more and more satisfied.

"What's your name?" Mu Li looked directly at the man and asked.

Qian Zhao sat aside, his surprised gaze back and forth between Mu Li and the man.

However, in the face of Mu Li's question, the man's calm face suddenly struggled a little.

Mu Li didn't miss the struggle on the man's face, and then looked at him with a flash in his gaze.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it." Although Mu Li didn't know why the man struggled like that, she wasn't the kind of person who broke the casserole and asked to the end, so she didn't force him.

"It's not... Be... I—" The man spoke, a little slurred.

"What's wrong?" Mu Li asked.

"I don't remember my name." The man lowered his head, looking helpless.

When Mu Li heard this, his eyes sank: "I don't remember... How about I call you a new one? ā€

"Really?" The man raised his head and looked at Mu Li in surprise.

"Let's call it Yexuan." Mu Li thought for a moment, then looked at the man and said.

"Ye Xuan..." the man repeated these two words, and his unmoving eyes slowly set off some fluctuations.

"How?"

"I... Like! The man looked at Mu Li with a happy face.

"From then on, you will be called Yexuan."

"Thank you, master."

Yexuan looked at Mu Li very happily, like a child finding a home.

Mu Li hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and then moved his gaze to Qian Zhao: "Uncle Qian, you first arrange for the dark web to let Ye Xuan train with them." ā€

"The master wants to let him enter the dark web?" Qian Zhao looked at Mu Li in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to arrange it like this.

"Hmm." Mu Li didn't explain, and responded lightly.

"Master, think twice!" Qian Zhao disagreed with Mu Li's decision.

"It's all right, just do what I tell you to do." Mu Li still insisted on his decision.

Ye Xuan listened to the conversation between the two and seemed to understand the meaning of Qian Zhao's words, and then looked at Mu Li eagerly: "I will never do anything to betray my master!" ā€

"I know." Mu Li blinked, looking at Ye Xuan playfully.

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned when he met Mu Li's clear eyes, and then a flush rose on his white face.

"Okay, you'll stay here tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow." Mu Li said, getting up and preparing to walk out.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, his sleeve was recognized. Mu Li stopped and looked down.

I saw a hand with clear knuckles and slender fingers, gently tugging at his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Mu Li asked suspiciously.

"I... Can I join you. Ye Xuan asked cautiously.

Mu Li didn't rush to answer, but stared at Ye Xuan strangely for a moment.

When he looked at Ye Xuan's purple eyes, it was as if he would sink into it in the next second.

"No... Isn't it possible? Ye Xuan spoke again, and his tone felt very aggrieved.

"No, if you want to follow, then follow it." Mu Li quickly regained his thoughts, then turned and walked out.

Hearing that he could let himself follow, Ye Xuan had a smile on his face, and then quickly followed.

The two walked out of Zhixifang and went back in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but met Yuan Qingji halfway.

"Third Miss, please stay." Yuan Qingjiao stepped forward and called Mu Li softly.

At this time, Ye Xuan subconsciously blocked Mu Li's body and made protective movements.

"Yexuan, it's okay." Mu Li hurriedly spoke, for fear that if he was a second slower, Ye Xuan would make a move against Yuan Qingjiao.

In fact, Yuan Qingjiao was also taken aback by Yexuan's actions, and the whole person froze in place.

"Miss Yuan, forgive me, the guards are not sensible, don't blame it." Mu Li pulled Ye Xuan aside, and then said lightly to Yuan Qingjiao.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm in the palace, but I haven't seen him." Yuan Qingjiao looked at Ye Xuan beside Mu Li and looked inquiring.

"Naturally, you can't bring guards with you when you enter the palace, so I asked him to wait for me outside the palace." Mu Li replied.

"That's right." As she spoke, Yuan Qingjiao moved her gaze to Mu Li.

"I don't know why Miss Yuan called me?"

Mu Li also wondered in her heart, she had never had any intersection with this Yuan Qingji, what was the purpose of shouting at this time.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I was in the palace, I saw that you were different from other women, so I wanted to be close." Yuan Qingjiao said with a smile.

"Close?"

Mu Li's expression was a little weird, thinking that she was cold and cold-hearted, and it was the first time she had heard someone say this to her.

Moreover, when everyone knows that they are waste, they don't want to stay away from themselves, but still want to be close to themselves?

"Uh-huh, isn't that okay?" Yuan Qingjiao nodded, and then looked at Mu Li with some expectation.

It seemed that he couldn't resist Yuan Qingji's enthusiasm, Mu Li shook his head a little sneeringly: "No." ā€

"That's good, then in the future, can I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find you."

"Looking for me at the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Mu Li was stunned again, and he didn't understand what the purpose of this Yuan Qingqi was.

"Well, in my spare time, can I go to you and ask me how to draw?" Yuan Qingjiao's eyes widened, looking at Mu Li expectantly.

Hearing that Yuan Qingjiao wanted to ask for advice on painting like herself, Mu Li also understood what was going on.

The Seventh Prince has the title of the first painter, and today the emperor praised his paintings. Yuan Qingjiao likes the Seven Princes, and now she wants to understand painting, so she can get in touch with the Seventh Prince.

Thinking of this, Mu Li smiled in his heart: "If Miss Yuan doesn't dislike it, just come." ā€

Although he doesn't like to get close to outsiders, Mu Li didn't directly refuse Yuan Qingjiao.

After all, Yuan Qingjiao doesn't have any place to make her feel disgusted.

"Okay, then I'll visit the Prime Minister's Mansion another day." Yuan Qingjiao was delighted.

"Hmm." Mu Li nodded.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Qingji, Mu Li took Ye Xuan and continued to walk in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As everyone knows, this scene was seen by Mo Jinlan.

Mo Jinlan and Shaoqing happened to be sitting in the carriage and passed by Mu Li and Ye Xuan.

"Stop!" A muffled voice sounded, and the carriage immediately stopped.

"Who's that man?" Looking out of the car window, when he saw a man next to Mu Li, Mo Jinlan's eyes instantly sank.

Shaoqing also turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Ye Xuan and Mu Li one after the other.

"My subordinates haven't seen this person before." Shaoqing looked at Ye Xuan carefully, and quickly rummaged through his mind, but he didn't find any information about this person.

"Get out of the car." Mo Jinlan squinted, and his face became a little ugly.

Shaoqing followed Mo Jinlan out of the carriage, and then the two walked towards Mu Li and them quickly.

Because of the inexplicable discomfort in his heart, Mo Jinlan walked with the wind and did not hide his breath at all.

Mu Li soon felt the breath coming straight to him, and immediately stopped.

"Miss Three, are you shopping?" Mo Jinlan caught up with him step by step, and his tone was a little displeased.

Regarding the difference in Mo Jinlan's tone, Mu Li didn't know the reason, but looked at him with some doubts.

"The Seventh Prince is also shopping?" Mu Li asked rhetorically.

"How can this king have such idle time, but the third lady, the nature is good."

When he said this, Mo Jinlan looked at Ye Xuan beside Mu Li, his eyes full of hostility.

Regarding Mo Jinlan's hostility, Ye Xuan didn't know why. However, Ye Xuan did not admit defeat and met Mo Jinlan's gaze without flinching.

Mu Li didn't react for a moment why Mo Jinlan suddenly became different, and looked at the two people next to him with sparks in his eyes.

"What are you guys doing?" Mu Li finally spoke and asked suspiciously.

Hearing Mu Li's voice, Mo Jinlan withdrew his gaze, and then looked sideways at Mu Li.

"Is he?" Mo Jinlan asked.

"My guard." Mu Li didn't hesitate and replied directly.

Mu Li's answer seemed to surprise Mo Jinlan, and when he looked at Ye Xuan again, he was full of surprise.

"He's your bodyguard?" Mo Jinlan asked in disbelief.

"yes, what's the problem?" Mu Li was unimpressed by Mo Jinlan's surprise.

Mo Jinlan tilted his head slightly at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to think in his heart.

How could he be Mu Li's bodyguard?

"If the Seventh Lord is fine, then I'll go first."

Mu Li saw Mo Jinlan pondering, thinking that there was nothing to do, so he said to leave.

No, it didn't give Mo Jinlan a chance to stay, Mu Li directly dragged Ye Xuan, turned around and left.

Mo Jinlan opened his mouth, and when he wanted to keep Mu Li, his face instantly darkened when his eyes fell on Mu Li's hand dragging Ye Xuan's clothes.

"Shaoqing, go and check, what the hell is going on." Mo Jinlan finally glanced at Ye Xuan, squinting his eyes with a solemn expression.

"Yes." Shaoqing responded.

The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion

When Mu Li came back with Ye Xuan, Qing Si screamed in surprise when she saw Ye Xuan's appearance.

"Oh my God! Miss, where did you come from, a beautiful man! He is simply a hundred times better looking than those four beautiful men in the capital! Qingsi circled around Ye Xuan, and kept talking.

Ye Xuan stood in place, a little embarrassed to be surrounded by green silk, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only look at Mu Li with a helpless face.

Mu Li didn't care about Qingsi, sat aside and drank tea with Lan Youlian, and let Ye Xuan cast countless eyes to him asking for help.

After a while, Mu Li put down the teacup, and then said lightly: "Okay, it's chirping, it's really like a bird." ā€

"Hehe, miss, just tell me where you came from." Qingsi leaned over and looked at Mu Li with a wicked smile.

"Bought it." Mu Li glanced at Qingsi coldly, and then said lightly.

"Bought it? Where is it? Qingsi asked excitedly.

"It's on the long street. What, do you want to buy one and come back as a father-in-law? Mu Li squinted at Qingsi and said with some amusement.

"Oh, Miss, really, what are you doing so bluntly." Qingsi was a little shy, and her little face was flushed.

"Come on, pretend!" Mu Li stretched out his finger and pointed at Qingsi's forehead and said.
