Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

"Hey hey!"

Lin Shuyu, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and shouted, and saw Mu Yunzhong and Jiang Tingwan in the room at a glance.

He was stunned at first, and the pain on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of surprise.

"Third uncle?"

Then came a wave of doubt, looking at Mu Yunzhong and asking, "Junior Brother Mu, have you found Third Uncle?"

Is this the reason why he has been acting strangely these past two days?

Jiang Tingwan was also stunned, and looked at Mu Yunzhong with both happiness and worry. He was happy that he finally didn't have to be "kept in a golden house" anymore, but he was worried that Mu Yunzhong would not kill anyone to silence them.

Mu Yunzhong's face was stern. He did not answer Lin Shuyu's question, nor did he pay attention to Lin Shuyu who fell to the ground. Instead, he took a deep breath.

Jiang Tingwan was unsure what Mu Yunzhong was thinking, so he could only ask Lin Shuyu.

"Are you OK?"

Lin Shuyu had already climbed up by then. After brushing off the dust on his body, he bowed respectfully to Jiang Tingwan and said, "Disciple is fine. Disciple greets Third Uncle-Master."

His eyes scanned back and forth between Jiang Tingwan and Mu Yunzhong. He was born with an active mind, and many possibilities flashed through his mind. He still couldn't figure out why Mu Yunzhong didn't tell everyone after finding his third uncle.

"No need to be polite. Long time no see."

Jiang Tingwan greeted them warmly. After being locked up for so long, he felt friendly towards all living things.

Lin Shuyu was stunned for a moment, not quite sure what Jiang Tingwan's smile meant, but he still looked quite comfortable.

"Third Uncle came back by himself?"

Jiang Tingwan thought about it and nodded, "I guess so."

You can't say that Mu Yunzhong took her out and then brought her back in. If you say that Mu Yunzhong found her, they will definitely ask why he didn't tell everyone.

The answer to this question alone would take quite some time to write.

But who would have thought that it still couldn't stop Lin Shuyu's questions.

"Where has Master Uncle been these days? We are so worried, but what happened? Now that you are back, why don't you go see Master Uncle, the head of the sect?"

Lin Shuyu asked a lot of questions in a row, which made Jiang Tingwan's head confused.

"You asked me so many questions at once, how can I answer you..." Jiang Tingwan smiled awkwardly, "Well, you answer me first, how did you come in?"

When you don’t know how to answer, just ask the question and let others think about the answer.

Moreover, this is indeed an important issue. After all, with Mu Yunzhong's strength, Lin Shuyu cannot enter the barrier he has set up.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyu's expression froze. He looked at Mu Yunzhong hesitantly, but still answered honestly.

"I came here to look for Junior Brother Mu, and I happened to see a barrier set up here. I was itching to try Junior Brother Mu's barrier, so I used my spiritual power. I didn't expect that this barrier only blocked life, and didn't prevent people from entering or leaving. I was caught off guard and fell."

"Is it okay for people to come in and out?"

Jiang Tingwan's voice was obviously full of surprise. She looked at Mu Yunzhong in astonishment, only to see him pouring her a glass of water without changing his expression, as if he was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding something.

So the reason why I've been trapped these days is because I have no shoes?

Jiang Tingwan was so surprised that he couldn't tell what he felt for a moment.

After Mu Yunzhong put down the cup, his expression darkened and he said, "Brother, the way you entered the room just now didn't look like a test. It was obvious that you rushed in with all your strength, which led to your accidental loss of balance and fall. What did you want to see in my room by catching me off guard like this?"

After these words came out, Lin Shuyu's expression became embarrassed, "I..."

I even stuttered a little, and could only ease the embarrassment with a smile.

"These days, I've noticed that you always look heavy-hearted, Junior Brother Mu, and you've isolated yourself from the outside world and even set up a barrier in your room, so I wanted to come and see you."

When he said this, there was some panic in his eyes and he avoided Mu Yunzhong's gaze.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhong would not let go and said, "The Trial Conference concerns the reputation of all the immortal sects and involves the Wuji Abyss. It is not just me who is burdened, but also Senior Brother Meng and the others. As for the barrier..."

He paused, "Brother Lin, is this because Shen Zhui came to talk to me privately before, so he suspected me of something and wanted to come in to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyu's expression froze, and he looked embarrassed as if he had been exposed.

"Brother Mu, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean that. I'm just a little worried about you..."

"Are you worried that I will be taken advantage of, or that I will go astray and become corrupted by others?"

Mu Yun finally almost looked at what he said, a true statement.

Lin Shuyu thought that it was his suspicion that annoyed him and wanted to explain, but before he could explain, he felt that if he really said it out loud, it would be almost the same.

He did have doubts, and for a moment, because of the existence of the Dustless Pearl, he thought about many things.

He knew that he shouldn't have such thoughts, so he could only apologize sincerely:

"I was wrong about this. But the reason I'm here is definitely not because I doubt you. You and I have known each other for more than ten years. Although we are not from the same bloodline, we grew up together. You have suffered a lot over the years. Although you don't say it, I know that you just hide all your emotions in your heart. Ever since the matter of the Dustless Pearl was revealed, you always have a solemn face. I'm worried that you will think too much and worry too much..."

Lin Shuyu said these words, but in the end he didn't know what he was saying. He was afraid that the topic would become more and more out of context, so he could only stop talking about this topic and admit his mistake directly.

"I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Anyway, I was wrong about this matter. If you're angry, it's justified. I'm not wronged."

Lin Shuyu's eyes were very clear. Jiang Tingwan and Mu Yunzhong could clearly see the expression on his face when he said every word, and they knew that he was speaking from the heart.

Jiang Tingwan looked back and forth at the two people in front of him. In the entire Sanyuan Sect, if there was anyone who would be kind to Mu Yunzhong, besides himself, the only one left would be Lin Shuyu.

Although she still couldn't understand why Mu Yunzhong deliberately said those words, she was the only one who had to stand up at this time.

She coughed twice, interrupting the atmosphere between the two, and said to Lin Shuyu: "I understand, you are here because you care about him, otherwise you would not come alone."

She deliberately mentioned the last sentence, as if hoping Mu Yun would eventually hear it.

Then he said to Mu Yunzhong: "As for you, you set up the barrier to protect me, but I didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding."

Lin Shuyu looked at her, "Cover? Uncle Master needs Junior Brother Mu to cover you for what?"

Mu Yunzhong's gaze also fell on Jiang Tingwan. Knowing that she wanted to help Lin Shuyu out of the predicament, he did not stop her. It seemed that he also wanted to hear how she would explain the current situation.

Jiang Tingwan nodded, then waved to Lin Shuyu, motioning him to come over.

Lin Shuyu didn't understand why, but he still walked up to Jiang Tingwan.

"sit!"

Jiang Tingwan raised his chin slightly and signaled him.

Lin Shuyu was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, he still sat down obediently.

Jiang Tingwan poured him some water and said, "I should answer the questions you asked me just now... I did come back a long time ago, but why didn't I tell you?"
