"Just now, a man appeared beside Lv Liang. His aura was so intimidating. But I suspect he's the one controlling Lv Liang. That nobody Lv Liang couldn't possibly control a man like that on his own."
Mu Yun looked at Mu Yu, who had just woken up in bed, her eyes filled with tears. "You really scared me."
"You were in a coma and then..."
"Okay, it's good that Sister Yu is awake."
Mu Yijie interrupted her. At this moment, a flicker of panic crossed Lv Liang's eyes, and his look towards Yong Shanling was filled with hatred.
Suddenly, Yong Shanling met his gaze. Before he could look away, their eyes locked. A cold smile curled up on Yong Shanling's lips.
"You'd better not let me catch you making a mistake."
Lv Liang read this from her lip - movement. He was startled and immediately averted his eyes, then rushed over to Mu Yu to put on an act.
"That sister has quite a sharp tongue. She's really unlucky to have met this man." Liu Ming had also seen Lv Liang's look just now.
Mu Yu forced a smile and looked at Mu Yijie. "I heard it was your little girlfriend who saved me?"
Mu Yijie immediately pulled Yong Shanling over. She was a bit dazed but then quickly nodded. This reaction made Mu Yu find it rather amusing. The doctor was still examining Mu Yu's condition.
Mu Yijie then pulled Yong Shanling aside.
"That sister is really beautiful." Yong Shanling said, looking at the delicate beauty in the bed.
"Sister Yu... is really beautiful." As he said this, a gentle look that he himself didn't notice flashed in Mu Yijie's eyes.
But Yong Shanling caught it. She was a bit stunned. Suddenly remembering something, she immediately lowered her head when Mu Yijie turned back.
Mu Yijie looked at her curiously. "Ling'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine..."
"What did you do in the room just now?"
Getting back to business, Yong Shanling shook her head to drive away her distracting thoughts and explained to Mu Yijie.
"It was the room's furnishings. It's an ancient forbidden technique that can suck away people's spiritual energy and vitality."
Hearing her words, Mu Yijie's face darkened. There was anger in his eyes. "Can we find out who did it?"
Yong Shanling shook her head. "But there's something wrong with that man. However, we can't act rashly for now."
Mu Yijie looked in the direction she pointed at, his eyes full of killing intent. "That Lv Liang has a lot of nerve."
Hearing his words, Yong Shanling suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. "Are you really worried about Sister Yu?"
"She was very kind to me when I was a kid."
Mu Yijie didn't notice anything wrong with her and just answered her question as usual.
"It seems you have a deep bond."
As she said this, she also noticed the indescribable gentleness on Mu Yijie's face.
"Don't think Sister Yun is so lively now. Actually, she was often sick when we were kids. The only ones I could play with were Sister Yu and me. Sister Yu took good care of me."
"Even after she made friends in junior high school, she still took good care of me."
"Stop it!"
Mu Yijie saw that Yong Shanling seemed to be in a bad mood. He thought it was because she had consumed too much spiritual energy in the room and was too tired.
"Okay, go and rest first. I'll go and check on Sister Yu."
Liu Ming, standing to one side, didn't even dare to breathe loudly. She watched Mu Yijie walking towards the edge of the cliff step by step. She originally wanted to stop him, but looking at Yong Shanling's face, she didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing a flash of green light outside the window, she suddenly felt that she didn't need to be so nervous. She carefully tapped Yong Shanling on the shoulder.
"Shanling, Qingyuan and the others are back."
"Okay." Hearing her words, Yong Shanling walked out expressionlessly.
At the end of the corridor, she looked at the people in front of her and said indifferently, "How was it?"
"We saw the black smoke enter the nearby forest. Since we can't be too far away from the contract - master, we came back." Qing Sui said tiredly.
"Stop this matter. Anyway, Mu Yu is awake and the wedding can proceed. We don't need to interfere anymore."
Qingyuan looked at Yong Shanling curiously. "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? In the past, when you encountered such things, you were always the first one to rush forward."
"I'm tired. I can't rush anymore."
After saying that, Yong Shanling went back to her room. Qingyuan was quite confused. "What's going on? She even told us to go and track it down. Why is she acting like a different person all of a sudden?"
Liu Ming told them what had happened between Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie just now. This left Qingyuan dumbfounded. "This Mu Yijie is so stupid!"
"Okay, it's their business. We shouldn't get involved. As long as we do as the contract - master says."
Qing Sui tapped Qingyuan on the head. Looking at Yong Shanling, she couldn't help but think of herself in the past.
After staying in the room for a while, the group left. The butler led the three of them to the guest rooms. When Mu Yijie was about to carry their luggage in, Yong Shanling took her own luggage and followed Liu Ming into another room.
Mu Yijie was a bit confused. He put down the luggage and walked into Liu Ming's room. Leaning against the door, he looked at Yong Shanling.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly throwing a tantrum?"
This simple sentence took on a different meaning to Yong Shanling. She threw her clothes onto the bed and took out another one from the suitcase. Liu Ming sensed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly hid in the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, Qingyuan and Qing Sui were also in the bathroom. The three of them looked at each other awkwardly, while outside, the "flames of war" had started to spread.
"No, I just think it's better for us to sleep separately here at Sister Yu's place."
"To avoid any gossiping."
"Who would gossip?"
Mu Yijie looked at Yong Shanling for a while. Seeing that she didn't answer, he sighed. "Do as you like."
Then he turned around and went back to his room. Hearing the sound of the door closing outside, Liu Ming slowly walked out. Sitting down beside Yong Shanling, she was silent for a while and finally spoke.
"Um, Shanling... Maybe Mu Yijie just meant the kind of fondness that comes from being taken care of. He might not even realize that he said something wrong."
Suddenly, Yong Shanling threw her clothes on the bed again, which startled Liu Ming. Yong Shanling slowly turned around. "I don't really care. It's just that the atmosphere here makes me feel bad."
After saying that, Yong Shanling walked out of the room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. When she walked to the backyard, she suddenly saw Lv Liang sneaking around.
Yong Shanling was already in a bad mood. Seeing Lv Liang up to no good again, she felt even more annoyed and followed him.
After following for a while, she saw Lv Liang enter a small path and crouch there furtively. Yong Shanling hid aside and stared at him. Suddenly, a man walked up beside him.
"Why did the plan fail?"
Lv Liang lowered his head fearfully and said to the man,
"Sorry. Who would have known that Mu Yijie would suddenly bring a woman and ruin Young Master Nan's good plan."
