Grab a Handsome Guy as Strategist - C25
“Hmph, his arms are weak, his steps are weak, and his lower body is unstable.” Is this how Mu Feng taught you? ” The old man folded his arms across his chest and looked at Mu Yizi with a childish face.
Hearing his father’s name, Mu Yizi’s hands trembled as she clenched them into fists. Her eyes were red as she looked up at the old man.
“What’s that got to do with you?” My father’s name is not something that you rascals can call him! ” As if he was blinded by anger, Mu Yizi struggled to stand up, raised her silver spear, and attacked the old man.
The elder didn’t evade as he raised his jade flute and knocked on Mu Yizi’s head.
Mu Yurou was anxious to fight against the old man’s attack, so she spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
The old man’s clothes had been splashed all over, like small flowers growing on a patch of grass.
“Master!” Shen Bai was already worried, but upon seeing Mu Yuhuang spitting blood, he started to worry. He couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, worried that his master had severely injured her.
The old man glanced at him: “Don’t worry, she won’t die!”
After that, the old man circled around Mu Youzi a few times, using his jade flute to constantly point at her from top to bottom, “You are still young, yet you have an imposing manner! If only you had the same temperament! Look at you, other than looking like your father, what else do you look like? This is truly disgraceful to the Mu Family! ”
Seemingly seeing that Mu Yurou was a little afraid of others calling her father’s name, the elder stopped mentioning it.
“You … What exactly is … “Who is it?” Wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth, Mu Yizi felt that her breathing was unstable. Even though she had tried to catch her breath, her words were halting.
The old man casually found a staircase and sat down, not caring at all that his robe had been stained. He pointed at Shen Bai with his jade flute and said, “Tell her who I am.”
Shen Bai helped her sit down on the edge of the flower bed, looking at Mu Yizi with a pained expression as he walked towards her step by step.
While taking out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and wiping away the blood from the corner of her lips, she explained, “This is my master, Daoist Ji Qing. He is also your father’s master.”
Mu Yizi tilted her head, avoiding Shen Bai’s hand. She looked at him with a complicated expression. For a moment, grief and indignation welled up in her heart, and another stream of blood was used. Her throat tasted sweet, but she forcefully swallowed it back down.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Why hadn’t he told her that he was his own martial uncle?
“I saw your father when I was a child, when I was a child. You are still in your infancy. If it wasn’t for master asking me to find the tiger girl from the family of generals … I thought I’d never see you again. ” Shen Bai looked at the girl in front of him, unconsciously recalling how she was still in her infancy and was still in her infancy.
“You knew all this from the beginning, didn’t you? That’s why he purposely appeared by my side, right? Do you already know that I’ve been recruited? ” A tear unconsciously flowed down from the corner of Mu Yizi’s eyes, and landed on the back of Shen Bai’s hand. The warm tears, however, seemed to have burned him.
Shen Bai’s lips moved, but he did not say anything in the end.
“Little girl, there is no need to get to the bottom of this matter. If you ask too clearly, you will only harm yourself.” Ji Qing’s unexpected words allowed Mu Youzi to confirm her thoughts.
It turned out that all of this had been planned for a long time.
Whether it was their encounter or their mutual knowledge.
Mu Yizi used her silver spear to prop herself up, but she was still very weak. She could only use it to barely stand.
“Junior Mu Huanzhi greets Master. I’ve seen it… “Martial Uncle!”
The last two words seemed to come from Mu Youzi’s clenched teeth.
Just as she was about to open her heart to this person, she realized that this person had become her martial uncle. He really didn’t know if he should sigh at the injustice of fate, or call himself unlucky.
“Hmph, whatever. You should go back and rest!” Shen Bai, come with me. ” After Ji Qing finished speaking, he kept the jade flute and turned to leave.
Shen Bai raised a hand, wanting to support Mu Yizi’s tottering body, but he was dodged to the side.
“Martial Uncle, there’s a difference in status. Martial Uncle Wang, you should pay more attention in the future. ” After she finished speaking, Mu Yizi supported herself back to her room with her silver spear.
Looking at her stubborn back, Shen Bai’s heart tightened.
This time, he had been pushed even further away from her.
He gathered his thoughts and hurried to catch up with his master, who was waiting nearby. No matter what, he would become master’s life father. In the end, he could not ignore his master’s words for the sake of his children’s private relations.
What Shen Bai did not see was Mu Yiran supporting his back, a teary face, yet she was still clenching her teeth and holding on.
She kept telling herself that she couldn’t cry! Wasn’t it just a man? There were many handsome men in the brothel, and if she wanted to, she could call them over with a wave of her hand. Why must he think of that man?
“Shen Bai, tell Master, did you really have feelings for that little girl?”
Ji Qing and Shen Bai arrived at the side courtyard where he lived. The green bamboos covering the entire courtyard were standing upright, just like the stubborn figure of that man a moment ago.
Shen Bai stared at those jade bamboos in a daze. Only when Ji Qing spoke did he regain his senses.
“Master …”
“Whatever. No matter how you think of that girl, I only hope that you can remember what you should and shouldn’t do.”
Before Shen Bai could finish his sentence, Ji Qing raised his hand and interrupted him.
Shen Bai pursed his lips, his hands gradually clenching and releasing from his sleeves. In the end, he mustered up his courage and said to Ji Qing, “Your disciple will definitely not miss Master’s important decision. Please rest assured, Master! ”
Ji Qing turned around and walked in slowly. He patted his shoulder and spoke sincerely as he looked at him, “Shen Bai, you have always been an extremely steady man. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you come to find your senior brother’s orphan. “Don’t you dare throw your weight around for the sake of the love of your children.”
Shen Bai lowered his head and did not reply. He was secretly thinking about how he should face Mu Yizi.
If he were to confess his feelings for Mu Yizi to his master now, his master would definitely bring him out of here and send someone else over.
How could he not know about his own fellow brothers? If it were others, how could he not be worried about handing the little girl over to others?
“Alright, tomorrow your seventh junior will rush over.” Today, I will take a rest here. In a while, I will prescribe some medicine for the little girl. You can send it to her after you cook. ” Ji Qing retracted his hand and stroked his beard as he looked at Shen Bai benevolently.
Upon hearing Mu Yizhi give him the medicine, Shen Bai hurriedly raised his head and asked, “Master, is she alright?”
“It’s nothing serious, it’s just a matter of anxiety attacking the heart. This little girl’s temper is just like her father’s! You just have to wait for her to calm down. It was good that she understood, but she was still young and didn’t know how to control her emotions. This is one of the places you’re going to keep an eye on her. ”
Ji Qing sighed and thought to himself, “How many people will worry about this little girl?”
