Chapter 34: Muwen's Choice
Looking at his face in the bronze mirror, Mu Wen frowned.
After the game, I returned to my room in Liufu, and it was already late at night.
Today, the defeat of Sun Tong's opponent was accompanied by overwhelming praise and congratulations. Towards the end of the game, a pair of sinister eyes caught Mu Wen's attention. It was Zhao Tianqi's eyes, like a sharp knife of a predatory eagle.
One hundred and forty promoted contestants drew numbers for the next day's distribution.
Muwen drew the tail number, which is one hundred and forty.
Zhao Tianqi drew the number 139.
When he learned that Ming's opponent was Zhao Tianqi, the clansmen around him were shocked, but Mu Wen was calm without the slightest surprise. What should come will come after all, Zhao Tianqi couldn't bear it, and chose the number of the battle in the early dark box.
For this reason, his uncle Liu Yuanhu specially talked to Mu Wen when he returned home, and told him to do what he could.
Mu Wen has his own plans and ideas for doing things, he doesn't like to discuss with others, and on the surface, he coping with Liu Yuanhu and not messing around, but in fact, he has made up his mind to take Zhao Tianqi's surname. Tomorrow's competition will be in the afternoon, and by then the sword will be forged, and this plan will not be changed.
"Phew. ”
A gentle knock on the door interrupted Mu Wen's thoughts, and a delicate inquiry voice came from outside the door: "Mu Wen, are you asleep?"
Hearing that the voice was Liu Li, Mu Wen asked through the door, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Liu Li seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before replying, "Open the door first." ”
Mu Wen opened the door and saw that Liu Li was still wearing a formal suit, and the twilight was in the dark in the dead of night, and her visit made the atmosphere of the lonely man and widow a little stiff.
Liu Li, who walked into the room, closed the door with her backhand, blew out the candle, and took Mu Wen's hand and walked to the window.
By the moonlight, Mu Wen could clearly see that the roots of Liu Li's ears were a little red.
"I don't remember when I gave you an answer. Muwen spoke first.
Didn't you say you'd never ignore me?
Liu Li was very uncomfortable, biting her lip, she did say to Mu Wen that if she didn't give herself a reasonable answer, she would never pay attention to Mu Wen. But two days after the cruel words were put down, she took the initiative to find Mu Wen, and the eldest lady's temper was humiliated in an instant, and she avoided Mu Wen's eyes and replied: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you yesterday, and I shouldn't have thought about the relationship between you and Liu Ziqian." At that time, I regretted it when I walked out, and I was really sorry for the mess I came to you when I knew you were going to compete. But fortunately, Brother Mu, your swordsmanship is outstanding, and you have won many battles and raised your eyebrows. ”
Mu Wen saw that Liu Li had put down his posture like this and spoke, and said to her: "There is no need to apologize." ”
After a pause, Mu Wen continued, "You came to me here to talk about this?"
Liu Li pursed her lips and looked at each other: "You guess." ”
"If it's okay, I'm going to sleep. Mu Wen gave an eviction order in the blink of an eye.
"What, there's no mystery left to me. Liu Li stomped her feet a little displeased, then took out a small bottle containing the medicine pill from her sleeve, and shook it in front of Mu Wen's eyes with a smile: "Look what I brought you." ”
Mu Wen looked at the small bottle, watched the three green pills held in Liu Li's palm, and the look of surprise spread on his face little by little: "This smell is Gong Lingdan." ”
"You're pretty knowledgeable. Liu Li nodded, pursed her lips and said proudly: "This is a treasure that Daddy has treasured for many years, and it is difficult to buy it even if you have money." Gong Ling Pill can be very effective in helping the early Yuan Ling people to open up the acupoints, and in a short period of time, the elemental sensitivity will be enhanced, and as long as they take a Gong Ling Pill, the cultivation effect can soar. ”
Mu Wen blinked exaggeratedly: "You, you won't steal it from your uncle, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter how you came here, the important thing is that these three Gong Ling Pills are yours now. Saying that, Liu Li stuffed Gong Lingdan into Mu Wen's hand, and said seriously: "I heard that Zhao Tianqi can suddenly enter the Lingwu realm, which is the credit of Gong Lingdan. Brother Mu, as long as you take one too, then the Gathering Spirit will definitely succeed. If you take the remaining two pills slowly in the future, the cultivation realm will definitely be able to catch up with ours. ”
Gong Lingdan is very cool, holding it in his hand is like having ice cubes to cool off.
Mu Wen's expression changed again and again, looking at Liu Li's pure face, that gentle gaze that was concerned about himself seemed to melt the glacier. Not daring to look at Liu Li's eyes anymore, Mu Wen turned his head: "Aren't you afraid that your uncle will be punished when he finds out?"
"That's willing. ”
Liu Li said resolutely: "As long as Brother Mu can gather the Yuan Spirit, and can throw away the word 'waste person' and return to the spirit of the year, what is it for me to suffer a little for you." ”
Muwen was silent.
"Tomorrow is the duel between you and Zhao Tianqi. It's not just a game, I want you to win. Liu Li touched Mu Wen's cheek, and her beautiful eyes met Mu Wen's sloppy eyes: "Brother Mu, with your swordsmanship, and then you have the strength and skill of gathering spirits, I believe that you can create a miracle that no one dares to imagine." Think it's for me to do a miracle, okay?"
Mu Wen gritted his teeth, and his troubled thoughts kept arguing.
Liu Li misunderstood, and looked back when she walked out of the door: "Actually, you don't have to hide it from me." Women's families are very careful, oh, you have always dared not face the feelings between us, I know that it is because of the blow of not being able to gather spirits makes you feel inferior. Hurry up and take Gong Lingdan, tomorrow you will pull out your proud sword for me on the competition platform watched by tens of thousands of people, go and create miracles, and then let go of your arms to pursue me. I'll be waiting for you in the audience. ”
She walked away and left Muwen's room.
Mu Wen was left alone by the window, his weak body softened a little bit and sat on the floor, still holding Gong Lingdan in his palm, and the small three pills were so heavy that Mu Wen couldn't lift his hand.
The elixir was light, but the amount of it was as heavy as Mount Tai for a man.
Mu Wen closed his eyes, and the scenes with Liu Li involuntarily came to mind, do you want to abolish a sword spirit, and then take Gong Ling Pill to become a Yuan Spirit cultivator. If this is the case, he will no longer be threatened by the Douling Spirit Palace, although it is not as strong as the sword spirit's combat strength, but it is more than enough to protect Liu Li in Bluestone City for a lifetime.
There are servants and houses, no worries about food and clothing, and no quarrel with the world, and a beautiful wife to accompany you for life, what a happy and wonderful little child.
"Brother Mu, take Gong Lingdan. ”
The sound of chanting sounded in her ears, silent, trance was Liu Li's expectant voice, how she couldn't bear to let her expectant eyes be filled with despair. Mu Wen opened his eyes, looking at the three Gong Ling Dan in his hand, his whole body was trembling, if he thought about it carefully, Liu Li could easily steal Gong Ling Dan, it was not Liu Yuanhu who deliberately turned a blind eye.
"Perhaps, I'm a guy who always makes people's expectations disappointed. Mu Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, and put Gong Lingdan into the ring.
After all, Mu Wen couldn't put aside the blood feud, his biological parents and grandparents were still imprisoned in the Douling Palace, and he had not been a servant in life and death for ten years. He is destined to leave Bluestone City, and he is destined to be accompanied by bloody wind and rain in this life, and he will continue to brave on the road of becoming stronger in the future, until one day he will enter the Douling Hall and rescue his ancestors.
It is too dangerous for Liu Li to follow him, and there are too many unknown encounters on the road in the future that even Mu Wen dare not think about it.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't accept you, it's because I really have feelings for you. Mu Wen looked at his face in the mirror again, and his decadent but smiling was clearly painful, but he still smiled: "So I hope you can live peacefully and happily." Zhao Tianqi will die on the competition platform tomorrow, I am not a man who can bring you happiness, and he is not. ”
