3119 Not Be Polite
Lin Chengjin and Pei Zixuan took advantage of the opportunity while hunting wild animals that day to ask Mu Ling, “Do you know his identity?”
Mu Ling’s eyes flickered and he instinctively shook his head in response, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? That’s impossible! We saw a big change in your attitude on the journey.” Pei Zixuan clearly did not believe what he said.
Mu Ling sighed. “Don’t ask. Even if I knew, I couldn’t tell you. If I could, I would have told you a long time ago.” He sighed helplessly to the two. “Let’s go back! The three of us have all been gone for a while. They must be worried as they wait.”
He hurried back as he spoke, without waiting for them to respond.
When Pei Zixuan and Lin Chengjin saw this, they exchanged glances. “It looks like he indeed knows. What’s more, Mu Jiu’s identity is not ordinary.”
“We haven’t encountered nearly as many ferocious beasts on our way as we did before the loosening of the restrictions. Even if we did, the ferocious beasts avoided us and fled quickly, as if they were scared of something.”
The two men chatted here for a while before going back. When they arrived at the resting place, they saw Mu Jiu resting on a tree branch with the two small beasts crouching to his left and right.
Mu Ling and others were getting ready to roast some meat. As time went on, the aroma of roasted meat spread out. At this time, a team appeared in front of them. Mu Ling and the others stood up vigilantly when they saw 30 or 40 people quietly surrounding them.
“I was wondering where the smell of meat came from. It turns out that the Blue Star Immortal Sect is roasting meat here. They must have known we were coming and had this roasted meat ready for us.” A man with his hands wrapped around his chest and a sword in his hand looked at them. His eyes swept over Mu Ling and a dozen other members of his team.
“Will you leave your belongings on your own initiative? Or do we need to do it?” The opponent joked as he surveyed Mu Ling and the others. He flashed an unfathomable smile when he glanced over Guan Yue’s face. “Junior Sister Guan, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
Lin Yushi whispered, “Senior Sister Guan, do you know him?”
Guan Yue looked at the man. Her facial expression changed, she bit her lip and didn’t say anything, but her hand was tightly clenched into a fist in her sleeve.
When the others saw Guan Yue’s face, they were surprised. Did Guan Yue indeed know that person? But, what was their relationship? Why did they have such unusual expressions as they looked at each other?
“Of course, I know her. I am her fiancé.” The man looked at Guan Yue with a wicked grin. “You must have been informed by your Guan family members. Since we’ve met here, do you want to use this time to nurture our relationship?”
“I did not consent to the marriage, and we do not have a relationship!” Guan Yue said coldly, her fists clenched inside her sleeves as she tried to control her turbulent mood.
A group of his fellow students behind him started laughing. “Hahaha, Senior Brother Wang, is she really your fiancée? Why did she talk to you like this? Does she despise you? You’re a weak husband, Senior Brother Wang.”
“What do you mean by “weak husband”? Did you not hear what the junior sister said? She has no relationship with Senior Brother Wang.” The disciples behind him said jokingly. They were glancing at Guan Yue as if they were making fun of her.
“That’s enough! If you say that again, we will not be polite!” Pei Zixuan yelled and looked at several of them gloomily.
