The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The girl had left long ago, but the old man Du Guzhu still had his heart on her, thinking whether to accept a new apprentice, although before that, he had already been interested in getting to know Yun Mujiu of Zhongyue. However, if the other party was really a talent, it would be great for him to get to know more of him, and the more he knew, the better. After all, talents are rare in the world, so of course he should talk and get along with him more if he has the chance.

At that moment, with the Third Elder's constant urging, Valley Master Du could only focus on finding that person.

Master Du turned his head and found that the young female doctor had disappeared. Even if he wanted to chase her, he might not be able to find her in such a large garden. Moreover, he always felt that the little girl was very smart. If they rashly approached her to talk, she might reject them! He couldn't be driven away by her before he showed his intention to make friends with her!

Master Du sighed quietly, waved his hand and told the others to go look for someone somewhere else.

His beard trembled with anger, and he cursed loudly: "First find those two little bastards who are hiding because of causing trouble, then we can discuss other matters!"

"What a bastard! He traveled outside the valley but did nothing but cause trouble!" Valley Master Du did not favor any side and scolded both male and female disciples.

Others didn't react. They were used to it anyway. Although the Valley Master looked like a simple old doctor, he was actually just like a country bumpkin when it came to scolding people. He was very powerful.

When the Third Elder heard the angry curse from Master Du, his eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything else. However, the corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and he seemed a little unhappy.

On the other side, Yun Mujiu walked very quickly, thinking of finding a cool place to walk and wait for Fusang and Suixi to come back.

She passed many empty pavilions and walked through a bamboo forest.

From afar, she saw a field of flowers in full bloom. The gardenias were elegant and pure, with a delicate and pure fragrance. Before she knew it, she was walking deeper into the flowerbed. In the distance behind her, there were a few young girls flying kites outside the forest.

Suddenly, her ears moved slightly, her expression froze, and her eyes became solemn in an instant.

When she turned around again, she had already pulled out a sharp dagger. In just a blink of an eye, she had taken out the knife from the inside of her sleeve and pulled it out.

And what flashed before her was a black figure.

Yun Mujiu took a breath, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of thoughts surged.

This was a tall man wearing a demon mask, a low-key black robe, and an ordinary bamboo hat with black gauze hanging from the edge. At this moment, the man used his big, bony hands to push aside the gauze, revealing a face underneath.

But his true face was not revealed under the veil of the bamboo hat. Instead, what was revealed was a terrifying golden mask with a ghost face and fangs.

There are some special features in this mask. In the hollowed-out forehead of the mask, a red lotus in full bloom is revealed, just like a real lotus, without any pretense. And the eyes under the mask are even more captivating, with a pair of ruby-like pupils filled with bloodthirsty red.

In just a moment, Yun Mujiu had already scanned the tall man in front of him.

At the same time, she did not move forward with the stab, but exclaimed in surprise: "It's you! The Ninth Level of the Netherworld!"

Nether Nine raised his red eyes and said evilly: "It's me, long time no see, Yun Mujiu..."

When Yun Mujiu turned around just now, the gauze on the bamboo hat shook, revealing her little face.

"Youming Jiuchong, why did you suddenly appear here?" Yun Mujiu's tone rose, making it impossible to hear what emotion she was expressing.

"What? Can't I appear here?" Netherworld Jiuchong looked down at Yun Mujiu, his eyes seemed to flash with a hint of amusement. As he spoke, he took another big step forward.

Yun Mujiu took a big step back in an instant, "No, that's not what I meant."

Netherworld Nine walked forward again and said in a low voice: "Then what do you mean?"

Yun Mujiu stepped back again, glared at Youming Jiuchong, and said in a cold voice: "Keep your distance, don't get so close to me."

“Heh.” Netherworld Jiuchong sneered, “You are the first person who dares to speak to me like this.”

Yun Mujiu suppressed the fear that was rising in her heart. It was not because she was timid, but the pressure from this demon was too strong, and it gave people a chilling feeling of fear. She felt nervous completely out of instinct.

Yun Mujiu smiled and replied in a softer tone: "I'm sorry, I don't mean any harm. I just think it's too hot, and it's better for people to keep their distance."

Netherworld Nine snorted coldly, "What nonsense."

"Everything I said is true." Yun Mujiu changed the subject and returned to the original topic: "You Ming Jiu Chong, I don't mean anything else. I was just surprised that you suddenly appeared here. And I didn't see behind me just now, and you suddenly appeared, so of course I was startled."

As she spoke, she looked around and then leaned her head to look behind Youming Jiuchong. The girls who were originally in that area had disappeared. She didn't know where they had gone to play. At the moment, she and Youming Jiuchong were the only ones visible to the naked eye.

After observing the surroundings, Yun Mujiu quickly pulled Youming Jiuchong towards the large rose bushes. After just two steps, their figures were blocked by the tall flowers. If someone came to this flower bush, they would not be able to see the figures of the two people inside the flower garden from outside.

Youming Jiuchong remained silent, staring at Yun Mujiu's bare hands that were tugging at the corner of his clothes, and a faint chill suddenly appeared around his body.

Yun Mujiu realized it later and vigorously shook off Youming Jiuzhong's sleeves. Her behavior was totally un-like that of an elegant girl.

Netherworld Jiuchong retracted his gaze from his arm and asked, "What?"

Yun Mujiu said, "Nothing. I didn't mean to pull you. I was just afraid that if you showed up here, other people would find you. Now many people are watching you outside. Although you are wearing a bamboo hat, it is inevitable that someone will recognize you. If that happens, it will be dangerous."

"So, you are worried about me?"

"I guess so. After all, you saved me. Of course, even if you didn't save me and we didn't know each other, I wouldn't just watch someone fall into trouble." She felt that Youming Jiuchong was not a wicked person. She had learned a lot about the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion in recent days. She also knew that Youming Jiuchong was a pavilion leader with some conscience, and the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion was also an organization that really did practical things for people. At least it didn't do evil things.

Yun Mujiu looked up at Youming Jiuchong and explained, "Besides, you suddenly appeared behind me. If someone saw you and me together, and they recognized you, you might have caused me some trouble."

Netherworld Nine said: "That's long-winded."

Yun Mujiu was speechless, "I'm explaining this for you with good intentions, okay? Didn't you ask me just now?" She wasn't pulling him because she had any feelings for Youming Jiuchong, she was just concerned that Youming Jiuchong wouldn't be discovered.

"No need." Facing Yun Mujiu's long talk, Youming Jiuchong said three words indifferently as a reply.

Yun Mujiu almost couldn't help but break her kind face, and sighed in her heart: Youming Jiuchong's irritating arrogance reminded her of the early days when she knew Ye Xiaohan. At that time, Ye Xiaohan always had a cold expression on his face, but said all kinds of irritating and blocking words to her.

How come these two people have similar tempers? Are most top-level warriors this arrogant and indifferent?
