I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Hearing this, Li Mu felt inexplicably irritated and said:

"How old were you?"

"Twelve years old."

"What about him?"

Chun Tao thought about it and said uncertainly: "It should be the age of thirty."

Li Mu cursed Chuntao in his heart, and the look he gave Chuntao became somewhat complicated.

Twelve years old! A little girl who had never practiced martial arts wanted to kill a martial artist who was at least at the fourth level, or even the third level.

Take the opportunity?

What other opportunity could be better than that time?

While I admire him, I also feel a little bit afraid.

After thinking for a while, he asked aloud, "Why don't you just join the Yin-Yang family? Is it because Zou Pu won't let you go?"

As soon as he said this, Li Mu felt that this question was a bit redundant. How could Zou Pu let go of the quadruplets?

Just as she was about to change her words, she heard Chuntao say, "If I could join the Yin-Yang family, Lord Zou would not have refused to let me go. It is because I am incompetent and failed the physical test."

Li Mu could clearly hear that Chuntao looked a little lonely when she said this, and instantly lost her previous arrogance.

I sighed slightly in my heart and said comfortingly:

"At such a young age, you have already reached such a level. It is a loss for the Yin-Yang family not to accept you."

Then he paused and let out a long breath:

"That man coveted you first, so there is nothing wrong with killing him. No matter who asks about it in the future, you don't have to mention it again, even the current emperor."

As he spoke, Li Mu raised his arm, and in the blink of an eye, his inner energy, like a stream of water, condensed into a long sword.

The whole sword is of a faint orchid color, with ripples of water flowing on it, exactly the same as the water sword condensed by Tang Qin.

He made a sword flower in his hand and said lightly:

"When water meets metal, it is born. When water overflows, metal sinks. Water depends on metal for its birth. When metal is abundant, water becomes turbid. When water meets wood, wood grows and water shrinks..."

Li Mu recited the Qi-condensing sword formula that he had been thinking about before, and then said seriously:

"From today on, this method of yours is taught by me. If someone asks you about it and you really can't refuse, use this as an excuse. If the Yin-Yang family really finds out in the future, let them come to me."

Then, Li Mu dispersed the Qi sword in his hand, and his voice became slightly softer:

"You are still young. If possible, you should try to forget about it. You don't have to keep it in your mind."

From beginning to end, Li Mu didn't dare to look at Chuntao again.

Just because of that face that looks exactly like Xia He and Qiu Ju.

When Li Mu thought of her experience, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

This is exactly the real reason why he said and did what he did just now.

After all, he was not familiar with Chuntao, he was only familiar with her face.

But love for everyone extends to everyone, whether it is the well-behaved and sensible Xia He, the romantic and lively Xiu Ju, or even the mimosa-like Dong Mei.

During this period, he did a lot for Li Mu.

This couldn't help but make Li Mu feel pity.

Not to mention, Chuntao also helped Su Yuwei some time ago to reunite the scattered forces of the Zongheng family.

Li Mu tried hard to calm down and turned to look at Chuntao, but found that Chuntao was also looking at him.

However, his expression was frozen, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed. When their eyes met, Chuntao finally came back to her senses.

He fell to his knees suddenly, and the sound of his knees hitting the ground could be heard clearly in the quiet morning.

Li Mu frowned slightly, immediately bent down, grabbed Chuntao's arm, and forcibly pulled the stubborn little girl up from the ground.

Although he felt a little reluctant, he still said sternly: "I didn't ask you to kneel, why are you kneeling? Have you forgotten what I said?"

Hearing this, Chuntao's legs, which were still straining, stiffened slightly, and her eyes gradually turned red. She said in a tearful voice:

"Your Highness, you don't have to treat me like this. It was my fault. I was the one who seduced him. I just wanted to kill him!"

Li Mu's hand holding Chuntao's arm paused for a moment, and he looked at Chuntao with some doubt.

Then Chun Tao continued, "The skills are just my selfish desire, killing is my purpose. I killed the sorcerer of Ruoshui Hall, please execute me, my lord. If I stay by your side, I will cause trouble for you."

Twelve years old! Seduction!

Li Mu felt a little numb on his scalp for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why are you telling me this? If you don't tell me, no one will know."

Hearing this, Chun Tao sobbed slightly, but her tone was firm: "My three sisters all like the prince very much. They said that meeting him is a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes."

"I am afraid that if the truth is revealed one day, it will implicate the prince and my sisters."

As she spoke, Chuntao slowly raised her head and looked towards Li Mu, with a hint of death in her eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Li Mu made a decision in his heart. He reached out his hand to Chuntao's cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"This girl, even at this time, refuses to shed tears."

He sighed in his heart, but laughed, "He's just a sorcerer. Even if he's the life-saver of the Yin-Yang School, it's all over if he's killed."

"But what if..."

Chun Tao was about to speak, but Li Mu grabbed her delicate face and said in a slightly fierce tone:

"I said it's okay, it's okay!"

Immediately, he slid his hand down, pinched Chuntao's chin, and leaned forward slightly until the two of them could feel each other's breath, then he said viciously:

"You'd better give up your ridiculous idea as soon as possible. If one of the four sisters is missing, I will send them all back to Zou Pu for return. Do you understand?"

After Li Mu finished speaking, he released his hand that was pinching Chuntao's chin and turned away immediately.

Chuntao looked at Li Mu's back as he left, and raised her hand to touch the side of her face that Li Mu had just pinched.

I just felt my face getting hot at this moment, and my originally pale cheeks had been stained with a faint blush without me knowing when.

...

As Li Mu walked to the corner of the corridor, he glanced at the roof in the distance calmly and sighed slightly.

I just feel like I have a lot of worries these days.

For a twelve-year-old girl, after experiencing such a thing, I don’t know what kind of trauma it will leave.

Li Mu didn't care who seduced whom first.

Li Mu always helps his relatives instead of his friends when it comes to his own people.

They never hide such double standards and even take pride in them.

While he was thinking, he had already arrived at the front hall.

At this moment, a pretty face exactly the same as before was commanding the servants in the mansion in a domineering manner.

With one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the food on the table, he said crisply:

"This dish is the prince's favorite. Put it over here. The prince doesn't like others to pick food for him. Put it here so that he can have it easily."

"Um, put that dish here. I've told you so many times, that's what Miss Yuwei likes."

"Eh? That, that is here. That is specially prepared for Sister Xiao Zhao."

Li Mu walked silently to the table, and the servants beside him bowed and greeted Li Mu one after another.

Qiu Ju then noticed Li Mu's arrival and hurried to Li Mu, bending slightly, speaking in a soft and playful voice:

"I am here to greet the prince. Did you have a good rest last night?"

As he spoke, his big eyes blinked at Li Mu.

Seeing Qiuju's heartless look, Li Mu recalled the suicidal look in Chuntao's eyes just now.

He could probably guess why Chuntao practiced martial arts so hard.

I guess it's because of that stubbornness that he wants to protect his three younger sisters in his own way.

I also know why she is determined to die and reveal her true feelings.

"It seems that the technique she obtained may not be real. When the ice sword shattered, her ambition must have been shattered along with it."

Li Mu sighed inwardly.

"I hope those two girls can comfort this sister who cares about them all the time."

...

...

...

At the same time, just by the lake.

"Big, big sister, I feel that the prince doesn't care about those things at all, but you didn't explain clearly what you should have explained."
