Fifteen years ago. Qingxing Peak.

"Brother Xingquan! Brother Xingquan!" The young Chi Yao was dressed in a white power suit, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and ran towards the carp pond in the garden with small steps, his appearance was immature and delicate, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of grievances and depression.

Mu Xingquan was also wearing a white robe with big sleeves, and was leaning over to look at the pond by the carp pond at the moment, hearing Chi Yao's voice, he straightened up and looked in the direction where Chi Yao came: "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

"Brother Xingquan! those inferior monks are ...... Laugh at me again!" Chi Yao seemed to be running because he came, and as if he was angry, his little face was flushed, his hand was clutching the corner of his clothes, and he seemed to pinch out the hole.

Mu Xingquan was a head taller than Chi Yao, bent down slightly at the moment, and asked her gently, "But is it still the same rhetoric as before?"

Chi Yaohao bit his lower lip almost crimson: "No! Even more so in the past, those low-level monks said that my parents were separated and the family was in the middle of the road, not only the decline of luck, but also the disregard of destiny! Saying that I used to be a young lady, now I am just a dog raised by the Mu family, no matter how I cultivate, let alone being in the same place with the children of the Mu family! What else, I am a woman, and the way of cultivating the mind is just that, and the way of cultivating the sword is beyond my own strength!" Mu Xingquan listened silently, and Chi Yao said the words that had just entered his ears as if pouring beans into the bamboo tube. At the end, he gasped and coughed.

Mu Xingquan laughed out loud and stroked her back.

"Brother Xingquan! Even you ...... You ...... too!"

"Don't be angry Yaoyao, you are angry at a young age, and you disturb Qing Xiu in vain, how bad is it?" Mu Xingquan put one hand on Chi Yao's shoulder and pinched it comfortingly.

"But those people deceive people too much! Brother Xingquan, Ah Yao was also the young lady of the orthodox family! Even if the family is in decline, the sect has not yet taken back the family crest! Now let them be so humiliated, Ah Yao is soft-spoken, and Brother Xingquan doesn't make the decision for Ah Yao!" Chi Yao shouted more and more angrily, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and his voice gradually trembled, with a crying voice.

"Yaoyao, don't cry, you just said that their vulgar words are even worse than before, but it has been two years since you came to the Mu family, and there have been no major changes in the remnants of the Chi family recently, and the methods of several major sects have not been updated against the Chi family, do you know why they suddenly mocked you again?" Mu Xingquan comforted slowly, and at the same time took out a piece of pastry wrapped in oiled paper from his arms as if he was juggling, and broke Chi Yao's tightly squeezed hands one by one and put them in her palm.

"I don't know ......" Chi Yao looked down at the pastry in his hand, and then looked up at Mu Xingquan.

"Because they are jealous. “

"Jealousy?"

Mu Xingquan was just about to explain, when the two of them heard the footsteps of several people on the Tingxuan path behind the carp pond: "Who am I, it turned out to be the little son of the Mu family and his little pet." Mu Xingquan heard this voice, and his face was slightly cold for a moment, but he quickly adjusted to his calm and waveless appearance, straightened up and turned to the path, sure enough, it was the second son of the Mu family, Mu Mingzhuo.

Mu Mingzhuo was about sixteen years old, and he was followed by several fellow students of the same age as him, all of whom were the children of the Mu family's side branches or clans blessed by the Mu family. At this moment, it was the end of the school class, and the group looked at Mu Xingquan and Chi Yao behind him with disdain or inquiring eyes.

Chi Yao couldn't hold back her temper when she heard the word little pet, but Mu Xingquan was in front of her, she was already taller than her, and the wide robe and big sleeves covered most of her small size, she remembered what Mu Xingquan said to herself, and she didn't take action.

Mu Xingquan slowly saluted and said, "Second brother." In front of this second brother who is not very compatible, he has always been able to talk less and talk less, and the etiquette is very thorough, so as not to be picked on by Mu Mingzhuo for any mistakes, and then ask Mrs. Mu for a copy of him. Chi Yao followed behind Mu Xingquan, and also performed a week's courtesy, not speaking, just bowing his head.

"The little boy is really talented, on this day of study, the children of the family are studying hard, only the little boy still has the leisure, go down the mountain to buy this rose cake. Mu Mingzhuo squinted his eyes and saw the oiled paper bag in Chi Yao's hand, Chi Yao heard him say this, he sulked a lot, just pursed his lips on his face, and put the oiled paper bag into his arms.

"Second brother misunderstood, this rose cake is ......" Mu Xingquan was just halfway through his words, when he was interrupted by Mu Mingzhuo: "But I want to say that this rose cake was bought by someone you sent someone to buy, and you are not studying today because you are centered, right? “

Mu Xingquan's face couldn't see the change, but said, "Yes." The second brother laughed, Xingquan has no ambitions, chatting to pass the time, although the carp is a plaything, after all, it is also a precious creature; “

Mu Mingzhuo looked at him for a long time, and he didn't see anything wrong with his words and actions, and he didn't feel bored, so he snorted coldly and left with a few children of the family. After school, according to the example, the disciples have to go to all places to cultivate, the heart path goes to the red dust mirror, the sword path goes to the school field, and the spiritual path goes to the ice spring stream, and the children led by Mu Mingzhuo have not yet practiced the spiritual path, but they have just chosen the red dust mirror or the school field. Mu Xingquan and Chi Yao walked together.

When they walked away, Chi Yao angrily took out the oil paper bag again, opened the two layers, and took a big bite of the rose cake: "Hmph, the second son is bullying people like this! Brother Xingquan, you have endured him for so many years?"

"It doesn't matter. Mu Xingquan seemed to have finally taken off Gujing Wubo's mask, put on a smile, even with a smile in his eyes, and continued to bend down slightly to look at Chi Yao, "Second brother, he has such a temper, I have long been used to it." Besides, with my background, it makes sense for him to do this. Haruka doesn't have to be angry with me. “

Chi Yao's fire has not yet been extinguished: "I am really unlucky today, I first suffered the humiliation of those inferior monks in the Ice Spring Stream, it stands to reason that they are inferior to the second son! “

"Do you think Yaoyao thinks I'm cowardly?" Mu Xingquan's smile remained the same, and his tone remained the same, but Chi Yao's heart thumped for no reason, "No, I know that Brother Xingquan is not cowardly." I don't think it's angry to follow Brother Xingquan, it's that Brother Xingquan doesn't feel worthwhile. “

lowered his head and gnawed on the rose cake, but his heart turned back and forth a few times. The Mu family is an important family in the north, but unlike the other four families in the east, west, south and middle, the Mu family motto, the bloodline is the only supreme, although the head of the Mu family has also spread a lot of peachy news, and there are many ordinary women holding their children to confess their relatives every year, but they have never admitted that they are not the children born to Mrs. Mu, except that Mu Xingquan.
