Early morning, small courtyard.
Not far away, faintly audible voices drifted in.
The window of the room had been opened halfway, and a thin figure was sitting in front of the window.
I don’t know if the scenery outside the window is too mesmerizing, or because it’s all too unfamiliar. This figure has not moved for a long time, just like a still sculpture.
"Why……"
Mu Qing secretly looked at Bai Qingyi, who was wearing only a thin coat and looked confused. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he did not dare to appear in front of her immediately.
Bai Qingyi has already expressed her feelings. It is precisely because she can't figure out the two people's mental journey together that she takes the lead in erecting a protective wall between the two.
Although Mu Qing could not understand, he knew that he was not a good person, so he respected Bai Qingyi's choice and did not announce his relationship with Bai Qingyi in front of everyone.
But everything Mu Qing did was based on the expectation that Bai Qingyi could slowly figure it out over time. Before, he would have felt that forcing some things would be counterproductive.
But now, Mu Qing changed his mind on this matter.
When he came outside the small courtyard, it was not bright yet, and Bai Qingyi was already sitting in front of the window. Maybe this silly woman sat alone like this all night?
If he cannot make Bai Qingyi feel that he has support at this time, then Zhuque City will be just another Juye City, and Bai Qingyi will eventually leave him.
…
There were footsteps outside the hospital, and a crisp voice sounded at the door of the hospital: "Miss Qingyi, Aunt Yueshan invites you to come over for breakfast."
Bai Qingyi came back to her senses, recognized the person's identity, and replied: "Xiao Qing, no need. Please go back and tell Yue Shan that you don't have to prepare meals for me in the future."
"Ah?" The little girl Wu Qing, who has become more and more beautiful now, leaned out half of her body at the entrance of the courtyard and asked curiously: "Don't Miss Qingyi need to eat?"
Bai Qingyi opened the window and said with a forced smile: "I am a practitioner and have gone without food."
Wu Qing asked strangely: "But the young master is also a cultivator, why can he still eat it so delicious? The medicinal porridge cooked by Aunt Yueshan is already more delicious than the one cooked by Master Huaigu. Wouldn't Miss Qingyi want to try it?"
Bai Qingyi came to Wu Qing, thought for a while, and asked, "Xiao Qing, are there many people over there now?"
Wu Qing shook his head and said: "I heard that the young master will be very busy today. When I came over, he was ready to leave. Master Huai Valley should also leave with him."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Bai Qingyi's eyes. After thinking about it, she smiled at Wu Qing and said, "Let's go. Since he can eat it so deliciously, I will try Yueshan's cooking."
When Wu Qing saw that Bai Qingyi was willing to go over, his eyes narrowed: "I won't lie to Miss Qingyi. My brother's rice bucket can eat ten bowls of the rice cooked by Aunt Yueshan."
Bai Qingyi knew that the Wu Qing and Wu Ling brothers were members of Mu Qing's family. On the way to the front hall with Wu Qing, he chatted with the little girl for a few more words, and then he realized how the two brothers and sisters ended up here by chance.
The evaluation of someone has been improved invisibly.
Soon, Wu Qing stopped and looked in a certain direction with some anger.
Bai Qingyi followed Wu Qing's line of sight and looked over. Wu Qing's brother Wu Ling was talking and laughing with a slightly taller girl in the corridor not far away. Bai Qingyi also had an impression of that girl. She was Wang Yeqing's apprentice. , seeing Wu Qing’s slender eyebrows standing upright, felt quite amused, and asked: “Xiao Qing, what’s wrong?”
Wu Qing pursed his lips and said, "My brother and Zhao Qingqing must have made an appointment to go to Jiuyou Tower Square to watch the excitement together, but they refused to take me with them."
Wu Qing looked back at Bai Qingyi with some embarrassment. Bai Qingyi understood, raised his chin and smiled: "Go ahead, I'll go to the front hall by myself."
Wu Qing said happily: "Thank you, sister Qingyi."
After such an episode in Wu Qing, Bai Qingyi's mood improved obviously, and she walked towards the front hall with a calm expression. But soon, her eyebrows frowned, and there was a voice in the front hall, and this sound She was also extremely familiar with it.
Since Mu Qing hasn't left yet.
Bai Qingyi for a while
Stunned outside the door, not knowing whether to leave or go in.
Just when Bai Qingyi was in a dilemma, Huaifenghua's voice suddenly sounded: "Tell me the truth, kid, what is your relationship with her?"
Bai Qingyi's heart tightened when she heard Mu Qing ask, "Who is my aunt asking about?"
Huaifenghua's voice was silent for a moment, but she continued: "Of course it's the one who lives at home now."
When Bai Qingyi heard that Huaifenghua was really asking about her, she subconsciously wanted to rush in and explain that she had nothing to do with Mu Qing, but for some reason, her footsteps seemed to have grown into the ground and she couldn't move at all.
Mu Qing was silent for longer than Huai Fenghua. Just when Bai Qingyi lowered her gaze and was about to turn around and leave, she heard Mu Qing directly admit her relationship with her: "Auntie, you guessed it right, she is my woman. .”
Huaifenghua's breathing was obviously a little faster, and she said angrily: "Nonsense! She is your aunt, and we are relatives."
Mu Qing's voice was more serious than ever before: "Her father and grandfather are already brothers who are far apart from each other. Their bloodline has long been different. Why can't I let her be my woman? I not only want her to be my woman , when the time comes, I will also let her, Xiao Jingyun'er and the others marry me together."
"..."
There was silence both inside and outside the door.
Bai Qingyi held her breath.
At the table, Huaifenghua seemed shocked by Mu Qing's words. She put down the porridge bowl and waited for a long time before saying, "How could my sister and brother-in-law give birth to such a bastard like you?"
Mu Qing said: "Assholes, just be assholes. I like them and they like me. There is nothing wrong with us being together."
Huaifenghua was a little surprised: "She actually agreed to be with you?"
Mu Qing glanced at Huaifenghua's surprised expression, as if to say, "Why is she so embarrassed?" He silently said sorry to Huaifenghua, his best teammate, and replied with a sigh: "No. The reason why she disagrees is , one thing is that I am afraid of your reaction after knowing it. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. "
"Hmph." Huaifenghua raised her slender eyebrows and said seriously: "If you have intentions and she also has intentions, how could I make fun of her? In the worst case, we will all call each other her own name from now on. I will call her sister, and she will call me aunt. When it comes to me, It seems to be more advantageous."
Mu Qing nodded repeatedly: "As long as my aunt can understand, she will be much more comfortable getting along with everyone in the future."
Huaifenghua glanced at Mu Qing, lowered her voice, and said curiously: "Did you do anything to feel sorry for her? I found that she seemed to be avoiding you on purpose."
Mu Qing shook his head: "She needs time to figure things out, but I don't need it."
Mu Qing glanced at the door, a little melancholy, and said slowly: "I fell in love with her during the time when I walked with her in the wilderness. As for her later sacrifice to save her, she only gave me a step closer. Opportunity, I felt like I had gotten a big bargain at that time, but she seemed to think that I accepted her existence just to take responsibility. Speaking of which, she still doesn’t understand me.”
"Hey..." Huaifenghua said: "What's the use of saying these words to me? If you want to prove that you are just lustful and have fallen in love with her, then find a time to tell her. Remember to be sincere. "
Mu Qing nodded: "I will find time to have a good chat with her, but there are some things that I need your help with, auntie..."
Until Mu Qinghe and Huaifenghua ended their conversation, Bai Qingyi did not enter the hall, and Mu Qing also chose to stop and did not go to Bai Qingyi immediately.
Although he deliberately let Bai Qingyi hear the conversation between him and Huaifenghua, Mu Qing made no other arrangements except asking Wu Qing to invite Bai Qingyi over.
Mu Qing believed that even if Bai Qingyi figured out the meaning behind this, she would not blame him.
Jiuyou Tower, in the square.
Mu Qing, who was late, walked through the crowds of people who greeted him warmly and arrived at the door of Jiuyou Tower.
Murong Jing nodded to Huaifenghua beside Mu Qing, then looked at Mu Qing and said, "The candidate for the Suzaku Sect has been decided. Murong Jian will represent the Suzaku Sect and join the Joint Law Enforcement Team."
Mu Qing originally wanted to talk to Murong Jing for a few more words, but he didn't expect that Murong Jing would get down to business as soon as he arrived. He smiled awkwardly and said, "In the City Lord's Mansion, it's definitely Cao Jin. He just broke through to become a mortal. He has enough weight."
Huaifenghua was a little helpless: "Although they are three parallel sects, there are currently no mortal masters in Wanhua Valley to support the scene."
Mu Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, I can make a guest appearance, and she is the only one in Ling'er's Sun Sect so far."
"Who said there is only one person in the Great Sun Sect, but now there are three in the Great Sun Sect!"
Zhong Ling'er suddenly rushed to Mu Qing and said with an extremely serious face.
"Oh." Mu Qing glanced behind Zhong Ling'er. The green snake Xu Sheng was released by Zhong Ling'er. On the other side, there was a burly young man with a dark face.
Mu Qing looked at it a few more times and said with a smile: "Master Ling'er, the Great Sun Sect is not slow in recruiting disciples. Why don't you introduce them?"
Zhong Ling'er straightened up her small body, raised her chin proudly, and waved to the young man behind her: "Sledgehammer, come and meet these guys. From now on, when you walk in Suzaku City, you will represent the face of our Great Sun Sect. .”
When Zhong Ling'er called out his name, the young man raised his head with some embarrassment and forced out an ugly smile: "I have met the city lord, met the Murong sect master, and the Huaigu master. My name is Xie Dachui, and I am a disciple of the Great Sun Sect."
Mu Qing looked at Xie Dachui's shy expression that was completely inconsistent with his burly figure. He was silent for a moment and looked at Zhong Ling'er: "Dachui...is he sent by the Xie family?"
Zhong Ling'er nodded and said with some disdain: "Well, the Xie family is quite fast. Although the disciple of Dachui is a little behind, he is in line with the temperament of our Great Sun Sect. This sect leader reluctantly accepted him."
When Xie Dachui heard Zhong Ling'er praising him, he smiled. He seemed to be more in line with the temperament of the Great Sun Sect.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhong Ling'er said: "The Sun Sect doesn't have enough manpower now. Even if there are more people in the future, they will still be casting magic weapons and won't have time to fight with people. So my idea is that in the future, the law enforcement team will Weapons are taken care of by the Great Sun Sect, what do you think?"
Huaifenghua didn't expect that Zhong Ling'er would make such a suggestion, and her eyes lit up: "Wanhua Valley can provide elixirs."
At this time, Wang Yeqing and Cao Jin led a large group of people to walk from the side of the square, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the square.
Mu Qing could still hear many people talking excitedly: "These people should be the joint law enforcement team in the future. Their auras are so terrifying..."
Mu Qing came to Jiuyou Tower for the law enforcement team. When he saw the rightful owner arriving, he and the people around him went to greet him.
After the two parties greeted each other politely, Cao Jin walked up to Mu Qing and handed several rolls of the same names to Mu Qing and others. He smiled and said: "The city lord should have seen most of the names on the roster. These people It will become the foundation of the law enforcement team. City Lord, see what needs to be changed?"
The joint law enforcement team is currently divided into ten teams, each with ten people. The captain and deputy captain are people like Xie Henhe. The vast majority of the team members are people who withstood the baptism of luck that night and whose strength has been transformed.
Moreover, the strength of each team has been adjusted according to the level of the team leader to ensure that there will not be too much surprise in each other's overall strength.
Mu Qing looked at this clearly carefully prepared list and said with satisfaction, "That's good. I don't have any objections. Thank you for your hard work."
Cao Jin shook his head and smiled: "Joint law enforcement is a concept proposed by Mrs. Wang. The fact that this list is so perfect is also due to Mrs. Wang's efforts. I don't dare to take credit for it."
Mu Qing looked aside. Wang Yeqing, who was so praised by Cao Jin, did not show any emotion. She looked at the crowd surrounding the bulletin board in the square and said: "I have announced some of the matters confirmed yesterday. The law enforcement team has been established. After that, it has to be up and running immediately.”
"Although the law enforcement team is the strength of everyone coming together, when faced with a critical decision, there can only be one final word. City Lord, what are your plans?"
Mu Qing said: "When I am away, whoever holds the Vermillion Bird Seal will be able to control the two formations in the inner city. Naturally, everyone in the law enforcement team will listen to this person."
No one paid attention to Mu Qing's suggestion.
Seeing that, Wang Yeqing asked again: "What about normal times, when we encounter problems that the captains can't solve, who will come? It's impossible for you sect leaders to come forward in person, right?"
Mu Qing knew that Wang Yeqing would ask this question and looked at Cao Jin: "Cao Jin represents the city lord's palace and becomes the enshrinement of the law enforcement team. When encountering difficult problems, he can come forward."
Cao Jin reluctantly raised his hand and had no choice but to agree.
Murong Jing just talked about this matter with Mu Qing and said: "The Vermilion Bird Sect belongs to Murong Jian, whose status is lower than Cao Jin's."
Murong Jian was shrouded in a black robe today. He was standing in the corner with Murong Yue and others. Hearing this, he said loudly: "Murong Jian takes orders."
Mu Qing has not yet given him access to the thunder talisman in his body, and Murong Jian does not dare to have any thoughts and behaves extremely respectfully.
After confirming some candidates for different positions in front of everyone, and adding many more detailed details, Wang Yeqing waved his hand and finally let Mu Qing go as the city lord.
After Mu Qing announced the establishment of the law enforcement team with the city lord's skills, he took Zhong Ling'er out of Suzaku City.
