"How's the situation?"
As dusk fell, a group of people stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Mu Qing pushed open the courtyard door and walked in while whispering: "It hasn't ended since the morning. When I call them, they respond to me, but I won't let them in."
Having said this, Mu Qing had a look of helplessness on his face. He turned around and looked at Huaifenghua and Wang Yeqing behind him, and said, "Xiaojing is seriously injured, and the treatment may continue for a while."
Huaifenghua looked at him sideways: "You should have contacted us long ago. Don't you know that your presence in front of them will make people uncomfortable?"
Wang Yeqing, who had been silent until now, smiled, but after seeing the small room, his expression became much more serious, and he sighed softly: "Your aunt and I just listened to what you said in the past two days. This is a test for the three of you, but fortunately, everyone is still together."
Mu Qing nodded seriously and agreed: "Yes, fortunately we are all still together."
He led the two girls to the small house. Before he could speak, Liu Weirui's voice came from inside the house: "Who is here?"
Mu Qing looked at the closed door and said, "It's my aunt and Mrs. Wang. I haven't told everyone the news that I found Xiaojing. They are also very anxious."
The room was quiet for a moment. Mu Qing, who was only separated by the door, could hear the sound of getting up and moving. In a blink of an eye, the door creaked open, and Liu Weirui's face was revealed from the crack in the door that gradually opened.
The dense fine sweat on her forehead had not yet been wiped off, and her eyes automatically filtered out Mu Qing and looked towards the two women behind Mu Qing.
"Auntie, Mrs. Wang."
Liu Weirui had met Huaifenghua when she was in the inner city, so she naturally knew that the woman beside Huaifenghua was Wang Yeqing.
Huaifenghua stepped forward and pushed Mu Qing away who was looking into the house. She held Liu Weirui's hand and said, "Weirui, although we have met, we have never spoken."
Liu Weirui glanced at Mu Qing who was squeezed away, with a smile on her face, and said, "I heard Mu Qing say that it's Auntie and you who are taking care of other things for him. We will always have time to talk in the future."
When Huaifenghua heard Liu Weirui talking about "in the future", her eyes brightened, and she even turned to look at Mu Qing in surprise.
Although Mu Qing kept saying that the relationship between the three of them had been settled on the way here, Huaifenghua just didn't believe it.
Even if Murong Jing left not because she no longer loved Mu Qing, but because of her own injury, is it acceptable that Mu Qing maintained an intimate relationship with another woman at the same time?
In the same way, Liu Weirui is the eldest lady of the Lin family. Can she accept the presence of another woman beside Mu Qing again and again in the presence of Ye Yun?
Therefore, after Huaifenghua heard Mu Qing say that he wanted to bring her to meet the two girls, she was prepared to be treated coldly and tried to ease the atmosphere.
It seemed like she was really worrying too much.
Well, maybe there are more important things now.
Huaifenghua gently patted Liu Weirui's hand and said, "It's not convenient for Mu Qing to take care of you. If you and Murong Jing don't mind, can we come in?"
Liu Weirui said: "The essence and blood have only been refined for one-third. Sister Murong's condition is relatively stable now. Auntie, you can come in."
Liu Weirui said and opened the door a little, but when she was about to open it, she paused and looked aside.
Mu Qing turned sideways at some point. Seeing this scene, Liu Weirui felt inexplicably better and said proactively: "Sister Murong, it's convenient now, you can come in too."
Inside the room, Murong Jing sat cross-legged, with her hands on her knees and spread upwards.
She only wore a white corset on her upper body, and under the exposed skin, streaks of flowing golden aura could be seen with the naked eye.
As these breaths spread and swim in Murong Jing's meridians, circles of blood energy ripples continue to spread from Murong Jing's body to the surroundings. However, before the diffused blood energy spreads far, it is covered by a layer of solid tree shadows. It was blocked back, forming a cycle that started over and over again.
Liu Weirui introduced softly: "The power contained in this witch essence and blood is much stronger than my sister and I expected. If there is no waste, until my sister completely refines all the blood essence, maybe three years is just the shortest period."
Huaifenghua squinted her eyes to feel the power rippling in the room, and her eyes fell on the tree shadows covering this power. She sighed softly: "The Gu family is one of the ten great families, and the roots of their fame are here. The blood of the Witch Clan, not to mention the essence blood of the Witch Clan refined by the Lin Family."
"Thank you, Wei Rui."
Huaifenghua thanked her sincerely.
Liu Weirui smiled and shook her head, but Mu Qing, whose eyes had been falling on Murong Jing since entering the room, suddenly said: "Auntie, you're welcome."
Huaifenghua immediately turned to look at him, frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Are you already this kind-hearted?"
"No, aunt misunderstood him." Liu Weirui wanted to explain a few words to Mu Qing.
Mu Qing sighed softly and looked at Murong Jing, whose slender eyebrows were sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, and said: "This is a favor that Xiao Jing owes Senior Lin and Wei Rui. I will not repay it on her behalf, nor can I pay it back."
"Huh?"
Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing with surprise.
She didn't expect Mu Qing's consciousness to be so high.
Huaifenghua also understood the implication, nodded apologetically to Liu Weirui, and said: "I really didn't think about this clearly. As Mu Qing's aunt, I must have selfish motives to favor him. I hope that the three of you People can get along well.”
"Aunt..." Liu Weirui was a little at a loss.
Huaifenghua showed a relaxed smile to Liu Weirui and said, "You are all excellent women. What the three of you need most now is time to think independently without interference."
"If, I mean if, you don't like this relationship and separate from him in the future, I also hope that you can keep in touch with me."
Liu Weirui walked to Huaifenghua, held Huaifenghua's hand and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely contact you often in the future."
Mu Qing stood aside and watched this scene, his lips moved. He originally wanted to explain that this was Murong Jing's own decision, but in the end he honestly chose to remain silent.
If Huaifenghua hadn't come forward in person, Mu Qing would have almost forgotten that the relationship between the three of them was still possible. He was already secretly grateful for Huaifenghua's rescue.
"Weirui, remember, don't break your promise." Huaifenghua looked at Liu Weirui's flawless and beautiful face up close, and couldn't help but rub her face.
Ever since Liu Weirui can remember, she has been lacking a gentle mother figure around her.
Huaifenghua happens to be an elder of this age. When she makes this kind of intimate gesture, it invisibly fills Liu Weirui's imagination of the role of mother, and also makes Liu Weirui get close to her without even realizing it. A few points.
The relationship between the two women quickly heated up in this short period of time.
Mu Qing took everything in his eyes, and when he felt it was almost done, he looked at Liu Weirui and said, "You have auntie and Mrs. Wang here, I feel relieved."
Liu Weirui heard what he meant and frowned: "Where are you going?"
On this day, from sunrise to sunset, Mu Qing's figure hardly left the vicinity of this hut.
Mu Qing glanced at Murong Jing, who was obviously still in the process of refining blood essence, and said softly: "The people over at Hidden Valley probably don't know about Xiao Jing's disappearance yet. I have to tell them."
"in addition."
"Uncle Liu has arrived, I will definitely go and see him."
When Liu Weirui heard that Mu Qing was going to see her father, she frowned and hesitated for a moment before asking, "What do you want to say?"
Huaifenghua and the others also looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing had a calm look on his face. He must have thought about this matter seriously, so he said directly without hesitation: "I won't tell Uncle Liu about the three of us for the time being, but after I cure Uncle Liu's illness, It’s up to you to decide whether to tell her or not.”
Liu Weirui's eyes moved slightly, looking at Mu Qing's clean eyes, she said in confusion: "You are right to do this. I am very worried about my father's situation now. Before this, it is best for him not to know."
A warm hand held Liu Weirui's backhand, and Huaifenghua said softly: "Don't worry Weirui, leave this matter to me. Once I contact the senior sister, I will go to see a doctor for your father."
Mu Qing looked at the scene of everyone comforting each other in the room, his chest rose and fell, he took a breath of satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll leave this place to you."
Mu Qing said, his eyes lingering on Murong Jing for the last moment, and then left the hut.
Huaifenghua and Wang Yeqing also knew that they still couldn't be careless at this time. After telling Liu Weirui to call them if anything happened, they also took the initiative to leave the hut.
In the hut, silence returned.
Liu Weirui watched Huaifenghua and the others walk out of the courtyard, stood at the door for a moment, closed the door and sighed softly: "Sister, you can actually talk."
"Hey~"
A melancholy sigh sounded behind Liu Weirui.
Murong Jing, who was sitting cross-legged, her eyelids trembling slightly, said slowly: "What can I say?"
Liu Weirui walked up behind Murong Jing, sat down cross-legged, put her hands gently on her back, and asked, "Sister, it seems like she doesn't want to face his aunt?"
After a period of silence, Murong Jing asked softly: "Have you seen Murong Yun?"
Liu Weirui opened her eyes and replied with some confusion: "Well, I met him the other day. He is very powerful."
Murong Jing said: "He is the owner of the Hidden Valley and the head of the Murong family. Back then, he liked to have wind flowers, and he still likes them now."
"Ah? Really?" Liu Weirui's eyes shone, and she suddenly became interested.
Mu Qing didn't expect it, nor did Huaifenghua and the others. In fact, the two girls had already talked a lot when they were alone.
They will talk about the first time they traveled with a caravan, the first time they used body skills to run in the treetops, and they will talk about many interesting things that can dispel the silence.
Of course, intentionally or unintentionally, they did not talk about anything related to Mu Qing.
However, the appearance of Huaifenghua promptly filled Liu Weirui's curiosity in this regard.
"actually……"
Murong Jing was a little embarrassed to say it, but she still said: "You feel very right. I did feel a little uncomfortable when facing Huaifenghua. The main reason was because I looked down on her at the beginning."
Liu Weirui tilted her head and said doubtfully: "Probably not. How could there be a conflict between the two of you...huh?"
Liu Weirui thought of a possibility, "Sister, you..."
Murong Jing chuckled a few times and said in a calm tone: "In my life back then, there was nothing but cultivation. I was always surrounded by those few people. They were all much older than me. Only Murong Yun was similar in age to me."
"Thinking about it now, I felt close to him back then, not only because he really took care of me like an older brother and gave me a feeling of family, but also because I could find a kind of equal treatment in him. This feeling is very rare in Hidden Valley and the Murong family."
Liu Weirui was silent for a while, and her voice was a little low: "Sister, why are you telling me this?"
Murong Jing replied: "I just thought of it and said it, what's the matter?"
Liu Weirui looked at the fair and slender back of Murong Jing's neck. She had seen with her own eyes how much Murong Jing had sacrificed for Mu Qing. Such a woman who was not even afraid of death would stigmatize herself in this way in front of her, who was considered a love rival. To be honest, she was a little sad.
So, she asked very seriously: "Does my sister still want to leave him?"
This time it was Murong Jing's turn to remain silent for a longer period of time.
It wasn't until Liu Weirui couldn't help but speak again that she said: "I have promised him that I will never leave him without saying goodbye again, and I will never leave him again."
"Well, that's not bad... haha." Liu Weirui said subconsciously, then immediately realized the attitude behind her words, paused for a moment, and finally chuckled helplessly.
Murong Jing felt very uncomfortable when she heard Liu Weirui's laughter. She believed that without Mu Qing's presence, they would have become very good friends.
"Although we have only known each other for a few days, Wei Rui, you should know what kind of woman I am. Since the energy of chaos is so precious and rare, it is impossible for me to let him find it for me. This life should be mine, Just earn it yourself, it’s not mine, and having a few more years is already the best ending.”
"It's just that I may never be able to repay the kindness of Senior Lin and Wei Rui."
Liu Weirui smiled bitterly, "Sister, are you planning to make Mu Qing and I happy?"
Murong Jing said seriously: "No, I might have thought this way before, but now I understand that there is no such thing as love. It's just that I didn't dare to face it at the time."
Liu Weirui nodded and said: "I wish my sister could figure it out. In fact, I haven't been of much help. You really owe me a favor and you owe it to my grandpa."
Liu Weirui did not say that these favors were nothing, because she knew that the more this happened, the worse Murong Jing would feel.
Murong Jing was silent, and Liu Weirui continued: "Sister, you seem to have said that your relationship with the rest of the Murong family is not good, and you have left Hidden Valley?"
Murong Jing replied: "Yes."
Liu Weirui said: "Sister, I have a suggestion."
"Now that Zhuque City is in chaos, you might as well come to Xishan Realm. I heard my grandma say that although Xishan Realm is nominally under the control of the Lin family, there are still some relatively independent first-class forces. The most important thing is that Xishan Realm is There are still many unexplored secret realms in this realm, which may contain the energy of chaos, and we sisters can still explore them together."
Murong Jing heard Liu Weirui's first words and thought Liu Weirui wanted her to join the Lin family, but she didn't expect Liu Weirui to think so carefully.
She sighed softly and asked out of curiosity: "Weirui, don't you know that if I'm gone, you and Mu Qing..."
"No." Liu Weirui interrupted directly: "Sister, without you, there would still be Ye Yun."
"Hmm." Upon hearing this deliberately ignored name, Murong Jing almost stopped refining, but fortunately with Liu Weirui's help, she quickly calmed down.
Liu Weirui said quickly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her."
Murong Jing smiled bitterly and said, "This is not Miss Ye's problem, it's Mu Qing's problem."
Murong Jing was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but asked: "Wei Rui, can you tell me about Ye Yun and him?"
…
"okay."
