Will.
Mu Jixue was speechless.
Her heart, however, had twisted into a shape of painful wailing, like a little cat screaming with its head in its paws.
“Waaah, Xiao Yu, my Xiao Yu, I’m right here by your side. Why are you thinking of someone else?”
As for the person Lin Zhongyu was thinking of, Mu Jixue could have figured it out with just her little toe of a milk white snowman—it must be that blonde again!
She could understand Xiao Yu’s thoughts.
After all, when you receive someone’s kindness, you should really thank them properly…But Mu Jixue was very reluctant for Xiao Yu to have any connection with that blonde.
Even if it were someone else, she wouldn’t be so conflicted and torn.
Mu Jixue regretted even more now.
If she had known this would happen, she should have acted in time when they were in the Xian Alliance, not giving the blonde any chance to show off.
“Alas… I blame myself for hesitating back then…” Mu Jixue sighed.
Fortunately, that blonde young master probably wouldn’t show up here.
And even if he did, the market was so vast that the chance of running into him was extremely low.
Thinking of this, Mu Jixue regained some of her energy.
Today would be her time alone with Xiao Yu.
Invisibly, it seemed as if a pair of cat ears on her head perked up energetically.
Mu Jixue tightly held Lin Zhongyu’s hand: “Xiao Yu, let’s go over there. I know a stall that sells women’s swords, and they’re really good!”
“Okay,” Lin Zhongyu smiled, allowing Mu Jixue to pull her along.
However, just as Mu Jixue had taken a few steps, her eyes suddenly caught sight of an unwelcome figure.
Through the crowded masses, a head of shining blonde hair was walking towards them.
Mu Jixue froze on the spot.
The blonde!
The wild blonde had appeared again!
Why was the blonde everywhere she went!
Alarms were blaring in Mu Jixue’s mind.
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe was also walking back contentedly, holding the black wooden stick in his arms.
Suddenly, he sensed a piercing gaze and instinctively looked up.
The blonde’s and the protagonist’s gazes collided.
“Huh? What a coincidence?”
Yun Zhonghe was also a bit surprised.
Now that the plot of Huang Ao Tian had been disrupted, the original storyline could no longer be fully referenced, so he couldn’t figure out Huang Ao Tian’s movements.
But it seemed like no matter where he went, he would run into Huang Ao Tian and the female lead.
Yun Zhonghe felt bitter: “No wonder I wanted to escape to other places, but in the end, I still ran into the main group.”
It seemed as if the magnet of fate had tightly drawn them together.
However, when Yun Zhonghe approached, he clearly saw Mu Jixue take a step back.
“Xue’er?”
Lin Zhongyu tilted her head, puzzled as to why Mu Jixue had suddenly stopped.
A big question mark appeared above her head.
Since Mu Jixue was walking in front, she blocked Lin Zhongyu’s view, so Lin Zhongyu didn’t see Yun Zhonghe walking towards them.
Mu Jixue was in a painful dilemma.
Her mind was working furiously, as if two little people were arguing.
One was shouting to protect Xiao Yu and stay away from the dangerous blonde.
The other was saying that Xiao Yu just wanted to repay the kindness.
Once she did that, wouldn’t she be free from the obligation sooner?
Mu Jixue was in great distress.
Waaah, she didn’t know how to handle this!
Yun Zhonghe: ???
But Yun Zhonghe also saw Mu Jixue’s twisted expression, and his mind was full of question marks.
He felt that Huang Ao Tian was very off.
She seemed to dislike him.
But Yun Zhonghe could understand.
He also knew that it was difficult to erase his reputation as a bad boy for over a decade, and he didn’t expect it to happen overnight.
You can’t rush things.
Moreover, if he were in her shoes, and someone with a bad reputation suddenly tried to get close, he would also suspect that the other person had ulterior motives.
Anyway, he would go to Xuantian Sect in the future, and there would be plenty of time to interact with Mu Jixue.
There was no need to be hasty.
Having figured this out, Yun Zhonghe let go of his fixation, withdrew his gaze, and continued on his way.
On the other side, Mu Jixue finally snapped out of her dilemma and adjusted her mindset.
Why should she be afraid of just a blonde?
Her master, Youyue Zhenren, had once said that Mu Jixue’s talent was extremely rare in the world.
Although there were many people more talented than her, and some cultivated much faster, her Ice Spirit Root could evolve to an extreme level, giving her a greater chance to knock on the door of ascension.
Sweep to read more.
That meant she had the potential to achieve imperial greatness, with an unlimited future.
Be cautious.
And now she was going to be wary of a novice village troublemaker, even holding back.
How could such a mindset help her climb to the peak!
Moreover, she had specifically reminded Lin Zhongyu last night, and Lin Zhongyu had said that she just didn’t want to owe any favors.
She would keep her distance and be wary of Yun Zhonghe.
Thinking of this, Mu Jixue’s expression relaxed a lot.
She decided to face the man.
“Xiao Yu, that man seems to be the one who saved you yesterday,” Mu Jixue raised her hand and accurately pointed at Yun Zhonghe.
Lin Zhongyu looked in that direction and immediately spotted the reassuring figure.
“Ah! It’s him!”
“Huh?”
At that moment, Mu Jixue saw a radiance and joy on Lin Zhongyu’s face that she had never seen before.
It was as if flowers had bloomed around Lin Zhongyu’s smiling face.
In all the years they had lived together, she had never seen such a look!
Overjoyed, Lin Zhongyu didn’t expect to really run into Yun Zhonghe here, so she quickly pulled the “reluctant” Mu Jixue over.
Mu Jixue followed behind, wearing a mask of pain.
Happy.
Regretful, in short, extremely regretful.
I must have been out of my mind to tell Xiao Yu.
Is it still possible to take it back?1
Lin Zhongyu almost dragged Mu Jixue to Yun Zhonghe’s side.
When Lin Zhongyu stopped, she was still panting a little, a drop of fragrant sweat rolling down her face, and her slightly red cheeks seemed to add a touch of enchantment.
Her gaze looked up at Yun Zhonghe from below, as if twinkling with starlight in her eyes, but because of her nervousness, she didn’t know what to say, being shy and secretive.
Seeing Lin Zhongyu in this state, Mu Jixue was extremely jealous, and the little person in her inner world started to make a fuss, rolling and causing trouble.
“Damn the blonde!”
Mu Jixue cursed in her heart.
“Brother Yun, what a coincidence to meet you here……………… Ouch!”
Lin Zhongyu had just mustered up the courage to speak, but she bit her tongue.
It was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to a boy.
Although she had also taken the initiative to ask Yun Zhonghe out yesterday, her mindset at that time was to resolve the confusion in her heart, which was completely different from now.
At this moment, just standing in front of Yun Zhonghe, Lin Zhongyu had the illusion that her breathing was about to stop.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, trying to restrain herself.
However, the more she restrained herself, the more her chest vibrated, making Lin Zhongyu’s face even redder.
Seeing this, the little person in Mu Jixue’s heart went even more crazy.
Brother Yun?
What did Xiao Yu call him?
When did their relationship become so good?
I had no idea!
No, no, no, I must be overthinking.
It’s just a change of address, which doesn’t mean anything.
Xiao Yu also calls me “Xue’er,” which is much more intimate than “Brother Yun.”
Waaah… No, wait, why do I want to compare myself with this blonde?
What gives him the right to compare with me!
The mighty Huang Ao Tian is about to be ruined.
