God of Dragon - Chapter 40

Because of the worry in Li Muyang’s eyes, Cui Xiaoxin decided to visit the Li Family in the end.

Having known Li Muyang for a long time, she knew him very well. Although he always looked carefree, he was actually very thoughtful, brave, and responsible. He always talked about his sister taking care of him when she was a child, but his love and tolerance for her were something that Cui Xiaoxin could feel clearly.

She promised to help Li Muyang with his lessons, but in fact, she preferred to stay in a quiet and private teahouse or other places rather than make contact with people.

The reason why she did not reject the Li Family and was willing to come to them every day was that she liked the loving atmosphere of their family. She liked to see Li Sinian bully Li Muyang with all kinds of mischievous tricks. She also liked to see Li Muyang looking at her helplessly when he was bullied by his sister.

Li Muyang was not willing to bring trouble to others. Even after he saved Cui Xiaoxin, he was still grateful for her teaching him.

Perhaps, she was one of the several beams of warm starlight in his life.

It was also because of this that Cui Xiaoxin worried that something might have happened to Li Muyang’s family, but he was unwilling to tell her.

The Liberal-arts Exam was not over yet, and there would be two important exams tomorrow. She didn’t want Li Muyang to be disturbed by other mundane things at this critical moment.

If she could help, she was willing to lend her hands.

Li Muyang didn’t know exactly who she was, but she was very clear about it.

What she could do would shock the whole Jiangnan City.

“Why are you here?”

Seeing Cui Xiaoxin standing in front of the door leisurely, Li Muyang and Yan Xiangma asked her in unison.

Cui Xiaoxin blinked her eyes again, pursed her lips, and chuckled. “You two have a telepathic connection,” she said.

Yan Xiangma glared at Li Muyang fiercely, and then ran to Cui Xiaoxin and said, “Cousin, why are you here? Don’t you go back to have lunch at noon?”

“Since you can come, why can’t I?” Cui Xiaoxin looked at Yan Xiangma with distrust, wondering if Li Muyang had been worried that Yan Xiangma would make trouble for his family while he was taking the exam.

She saw the guards of the Yan Family outside. If Yan Xiangma came for keeping Li Muyang away from her, then it was really the best time for her to come today.

“How could it be?” Yan Xiangma smiled gently. “If I can come, you can as well. I know that you and Muyang are very good friends. Isn’t it good for you to visit each other’s home? I also had some very good friends when I was at school,” he said.

Cui Xiaoxin had a stunned expression on her face. She looked thoughtfully at Yan Xiangma and said, “Then, what is your reason for coming here, Cousin?”

Cui Xiaoxin knew that her aunt was aware of her whereabouts very well, and she was even more clear about their attitudes toward her tutoring to Li Muyang.

Last time when she went home, her cousin mentioned her tutoring of Li Muyang on purpose, and her aunt also made it clear that she would send some gifts to Li Muyang to thank him for saving her life—then they would be separated from each other for the rest of their lives.

How could a wealthy family be willing to have a connection with such an ordinary person?

Of course, what they were more afraid of was that Cui Xiaoxin had fallen in love with Li Muyang. This was really ridiculous. Just because she had more conversations with him, they would think that she had fallen in love with him?

“How is this possible?”

However, what happened to Yan Xiangma today? He said that she should visit her classmates—the expression on his face looked as if he was not pretending.

“I’m here to visit Li Muyang,” Yan Xiangma said with a smile, “When you were attacked last time, Muyang took a risk saving you—the Cui and Yan Families will remember this favor. I happened to be free these few days, so I came to visit him. Haha, I didn’t expect that I would like him at first glance. We are friends now.”

Cui Xiaoxin was even more worried. She looked into Yan Xiangma’s eyes and asked, “Cousin, you didn’t take the wrong medicine, did you?”

O><o!< p=””></o!<>

Yan Xiangma suddenly looked embarrassed.

He stared at Cui Xiaoxin with wide-open eyes and said, “Cousin, how did you know that I have taken the wrong medicine today? How did the news spread so quickly?”

“Cousin?” Cui Xiaoxin said discontentedly and frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about the fact that I have taken the wrong medicine.” Yan Xiangma was flustered and angry. “Cousin, you haven’t told me how you knew that I took the wrong medicine. Li Sinian didn’t go out, neither the two elders. Since Li Muyang came back, he hasn’t gone out as well. How did you know that I took the wrong medicine?” he said.

After a pause, he cautiously asked, “There is no one else who knows about it, right?”

“Cousin!” Cui Xiaoxin was about to get angry. She thought that although her cousin was a playboy, he went too far today.

Cui Xiaoxin didn’t understand what he was talking about at all. “Is he deliberately changing the topic?”

Li Muyang laughed so hard that he doubled over laughing. He went to Cui Xiaoxin and explained to her how Yan Xiangma had taken the wrong medicine.

Cui Xiaoxin kept laughing and said, “Cousin, are you alright?”

Yan Xiangma was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in, and he was very dissatisfied with Li Muyang’s snitching behavior. “Li Muyang, you’ve gone too far. You asked me to take care of your family. In order to remove the poison of smoke in your family members’ bodies, I got them to drink some medicine to remove the poison. If it were not for that I wanted to get their trust and make them know that it was the antidote without poison that I wanted them to drink, I wouldn’t have tasted it myself,” he said.

Li Muyang’s smile became bigger. He cupped his hands to Yan Xiangma and said, “You’re right, thank you, Childe Yan. I will never forget your great kindness.”

“The poison of smoke?” Cui Xiaoxin’s expression turned a little cold as she asked, “Did Crow come?”

Yan Xiangma was shocked and looked around the courtyard. The courtyard had been cleaned up, and the bloodstains on the walls and the ground had been wiped off. Except for the indentations and cracks caused by the fight on the bluestone walls, nothing else could show any trace of Crow’s visit.

Did his cousin know the fact of Crow’s arrival just because of what he said?

Yan Xiangma winked at Li Muyang, indicating that he would deal with this problem. He said with a smile, “Crow? Why would Crow come here?”

“You smiled,” Cui Xiaoxin said.

“That’s right. I smiled. Haha, can’t I smile?”

“If you were not trying to hide anything, when I asked you if Crow had come, you should have had a serious look on your face, because recently you are focusing on searching for the whereabouts of Crow—and you said that the antidote was to eliminate the poison of smoke. After I encountered Crow’s attack last time, I specially asked Uncle Ning to collect information on Crow for me. I know that Crow was good at summoning Blood Crow and Dark Fog.”

Cui Xiaoxin looked around the yard. She looked at Li Muyang and said, “Crow came. He changed the kill target to—you—because you saved me, so he wanted to retaliate. Am I right?”

Yan Xiangma was stunned for a long time. He looked at Li Muyang and asked, “Are you really going to marry such a smart woman?”

“I…” Li Muyang blushed after hearing this question. He pretended to be angry and said, “What are you talking about, Yan Xiangma? When did I say…”

“Do you mean that you don’t want to marry her?” Yan Xiangma said with disdain and glanced at Li Muyang.

“I… you…” It was the first time for Li Muyang to fall in love, and Cui Xiaoxin was also his first love.

He hid the love in his heart, waiting to speak it out one day, like a hen lying in its nest, waiting to hatch a chick one day.

When Yan Xiangma exposed his feeling in front of Cui Xiaoxin, he was so ashamed that he didn’t even know where to rest his bare hands.

“Cousin…” Cui Xiaoxin was a little shy, and there was a blush on her tender white neck. However, she hid it very well, showing no expression on her face. “If you continue to talk nonsense, I will go back and tell my aunt.”

“Well, well, well, I was wrong. I surrender.” Yan Xiangma was very afraid of his mother. “I am trying to help,” he said.

Cui Xiaoxin looked at Yan Xiangma with distrust, and then looked at Li Muyang, and said, “How are Uncle and Aunt? How about Sinian? Is anyone injured? What about you? Where is Crow now?”

“My parents are fine, so is Sinian. I’m fine too.” Li Muyang looked at Cui Xiaoxin. “But they have taken the antidote. I’m afraid they can’t come down to meet you now,” he said.

“Where’s Crow?” Cui Xiaoxin looked at Li Muyang and asked.

“He…” Li Muyang turned to look at Yan Xiangma for help.

“I killed him,” Yan Xiangma answered.

“Hmm?” Cui Xiaoxin rolled her dark eyes while looking at Yan Xiangma’s face.

“I killed him,” Yan Xiangma repeated. “You know, I’ve been searching for Crow during this period of time. I managed to find out news about him, but I didn’t dare to alert him. Later, he went into Li Muyang’s house. I took the guards to set up a trap. Hehe. He dared to bully you, so I naturally couldn’t spare him. As you know, I’ve made rapid progress recently. After fighting with Crow for three hundred rounds, I stabbed him blind with Hitting Dragon’s Eyes, and then punched him in the chest.”

Cui Xiaoxin kept silent for a long time, bowed deeply to Li Muyang, and said, “I’m sorry, I got you into trouble.”

“Don’t do this.” Li Muyang quickly reached out his hand to help her up.

Cui Xiaoxin straightened her back, looked at Yan Xiangma, and said, “Cousin, since you killed Crow, you have to report to the City Lord Mansion to get your reward…”

Her eyes became sharp, and her voice was soft but with unquestionable authority. “If someone dares to question your ability, you should silence him forever.”
