Chapter 36: Return to the Imperial Capital
It was night, the sky was shrouded like a net of night, and even the bright moon, the guardian of the night, exuded a cold moonlight in the silent and dark environment at this moment, and the stars on the horizon, scattered everywhere, emitting a faint light.
Mu Jiuqing looked at the people guarding outside the city gate, for some reason there were twice as many as before she left, all of them were stern, most of them were middle-level Xuanzhi spirit masters, and there was also a leading high-level Xuanzhi spirit master.
Mu Jiuqing disappeared and quickly dodged over the city wall from the side, has anything happened to the imperial capital in the more than half a month that she has been away.
The leader guarding the city gate suddenly looked at the surroundings vigilantly, and the people around him asked suspiciously.
"What's the matter, Commander."
The man known as the Commander withdrew his gaze and glanced at the people beside him.
"It's fine!"
It should just be the rumors, it's all because he has been nervous lately, and he is worried about the slightest wind and grass, just looking forward to the competition to start and end quickly.
Mu Jiuqing, who successfully entered the imperial capital, looked back at the guards who were unaware of it, and then disappeared again, and quietly entered the backyard of the Mu Mansion without alarming anyone.
It wasn't until she entered her courtyard that she appeared, and when she pushed the door and was about to enter the room, she suddenly noticed something, and her body froze, and she looked back vigilantly, she didn't even notice that there was anyone else just now.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw under the pear tree, the cold moonlight through the branches, mottled obliquely on the body of the man opposite, he was surrounded by a hazy light, wearing a dark robe, the light golden tassels outlined a mysterious pattern on the cuffs, he was looking at her with a clear expression.
Mu Jiuqing sighed in her heart, and then met Mu Yijing's gaze and watched him walk towards her, with a look in her eyes that she couldn't understand.
The corners of Mu Jiuqing's mouth tightened, staring at Mu Yijing tightly, I don't know if it was her illusion, I always felt that he was different from usual today, but she couldn't tell what was different.
Mu Yijing didn't seem to see Mu Jiuqing's strange appearance, but looked at her eyebrows and eyes intently, and wanted to raise her hand to touch it, but stopped it vividly.
"I'm back."
Mu Jiuqing couldn't figure out what he meant, so she could only nod instinctively, and saw Mu Yijing suddenly smile, handsome like a god, and her eyes were stunned for a while.
Mu Jiuqing staggered his gaze and coughed lightly, not to mention, he looks very good, better than Mo Chu in the Northern Xuan Continent.
Thinking of the paper kite that was still in her space, she quickly summoned it out and handed it to Mu Yijing.
"Give it back to you."
But who knows, Mu Yijing didn't move, just kept looking at her, and she felt furious in her heart, Mu Jiuqing frowned, and subconsciously took a step back.
Mu Yijing glanced at the paper kite, and the harmful paper kite shook all over and shrank to Mu Jiuqing's side.
"It's close to you, let it follow you in the future."
"I don't need to."
Mu Jiuqing didn't have any opinions on the paper kite, but she hadn't figured out Mu Yijing yet, and she still had a lot of doubts that had not been sorted out, so she was a little resistant to his words.
Mu Yijing's deep eyes were dark and uncertain when he heard this, but he still put the paper kite back and said in a calm tone.
"That's it, I'll give it to you when you want it."
Mu Jiuqing looked at Mu Yijing deeply, and the ghost made the god say it.
"Do you know Chu Yun, Chu Yun, the leader of the Forbidden City Alliance."
Mu Yijing looked at Mu Jiuqing and said without hesitation.
"I've seen it!"
Mu Jiuqing didn't expect him to answer so simply.
"He looks like he's looking for you."
"I know!"
Mu Jiuqing's eyes moved slightly, she smiled lazily, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"Go back, I'm tired."
Mu Yijing looked at Mu Jiuqing's expression, with complex emotions rolling in his eyes, frowning slightly, and stepped forward to hug the unprepared Mu Jiuqing into his arms, obviously feeling that the body in his arms was stiff.
Mu Jiuqing didn't expect Mu Yijing to do this suddenly, and when she came back to her senses, she wanted to break free from his embrace, but suddenly found that she couldn't move, and there was no room for struggle at all.
For a moment, Mu Jiuqing's eyes were full of surprise, this feeling of being controlled by others was really not good.
Mu Yijing bent down slightly, her chin rested on her hair, and her hand tightly wrapped around her waist, allowing her to be close to herself.
Mu Yijing's deep voice sounded in her ears, and the warm breath made the tips of Mu Jiuqing's ears slightly red.
"You can trust no one, but you can't doubt me."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but hug Mu Jiuqing tighter, he couldn't see her look just now, and he didn't like her expression, as if he was far away from her.
