Morning Star

Across from him, Xu Yan was still brooding over the fact that he had been lost in thought just now when he was looking at Chu Furong. He no longer dared to look at her, and he had no intention of looking at Xu Lian behind him. As his eyes flickered, he noticed the young man in a light yellow robe next to Chu Jiu.

Mo Xinglan rarely appeared as the third young master of the Mo family. He had never seen Mo Xinglan before, so he asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

Chujiu opened his mouth and was about to help Mo Xinglan when a familiar voice came: "So Third Brother is here. I've been looking for you for a long time."

That’s right, Mo Mingjie brought Mo Yun here to make trouble after watching the fun.

Several people looked at Mo Mingjie and Mo Yun who were walking over and greeted each other.

Chujiu secretly rolled his eyes at him, saying that he really knew how to pick the right time.

Mo Mingjie looked directly at Mo Xinglan, skipping Chujiu. He looked Mo Xinglan over and spoke with concern, but his face showed no concern at all: "Third brother, you don't look good. Is it possible that your injuries haven't healed yet? Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I could have brought you some healing medicine. Look, second brother, after a day of recuperation, all your injuries are healed."

Injured? Chujiu also looked at Mo Xinglan. Is he injured? Injured during the competition? No way?

That shouldn't be the case. Even if he was only the second place, it was impossible for him to be injured with his strength. Even if he was injured, it was just for show.

He looks pale because he has lost too much blood, okay?

Mo Xinglan's expression was gentle: "I'm sorry to have troubled you, second brother."

Oh, healing medicine? He wouldn't be afraid of choking to death if he took the healing medicine made from his blood.

Chujiu heard about the competition between Mo Xinglan and Mo Mingjie on the way here.

According to what they said, Mo Mingjie was seriously injured that day. Even if he had the best elixir, it would be impossible for him to be as rosy-faced and move freely as he is now, looking like nothing happened, right?

What kind of healing elixir could make someone with such serious injuries heal so quickly?

Wait, could it be Mo Xinglan's blood? He said his blood was very effective, better than top-grade spiritual medicine.

The way the Mo family behaved really made her more and more annoyed. What great family of cultivators? She thought it would be more appropriate to change it to a great family of wicked people. They said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and they just didn't care about human affairs.

Mo Mingjie, this idiot, actually has the nerve to show off in front of Mo Xinglan. He is really shameless.

"After all, Dad told me to keep an eye on you before we went out. It's my duty." Mo Mingjie smiled but he couldn't hide his pride. He had no idea that he had been scolded by Chujiu.

As they were talking, the bone-touching grandmother came and people began to line up one by one.

Mo Mingjie glanced ahead, then looked at Mo Xinglan and asked, "Third brother, do you want to go with second brother?"

Mo Xinglan opened his mouth to refuse, but before he could say anything, the girl next to him hugged his arms.

He lowered his head in confusion, wondering what he was doing?

Chujiu hugged his arm like a chicken. She tilted her head and put on the original owner's domineering and overbearing look, looking at Mo Mingjie with disdain and ridicule: "Everything should be based on first come first served. I have already made an agreement with him before, so he is my person now. If you want him to go with you, you have to ask me first."

How could she let him take Mo Xinglan away? If he took Mo Xinglan away, who would she capture, how would she complete the mission, and how would she get home?

The moment she finished speaking, Chujiu felt a chill on her back, as a hostile gaze came from the front. But there was only Mo Yun in front of her. But when she looked at Mo Yun for confirmation, Mo Yun still had no expression on his face.

Hmm? Is it her illusion?

Mo Mingjie didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he looked at Chujiu and Mo Xinglan together and sneered, "Your people?"

As he said this, he looked at Mo Xinglan with mockery in his eyes: "Third brother, you are really capable. You can even subdue the unruly and domineering Third Miss of the Chu family."

"..." Mo Xinglan's eyes were slightly cold, and she pursed her lips without saying anything.

Chujiu smiled disdainfully and followed his words, "Yes, it is his ability to convince me. But how can you, who was beaten by me when I had no skills and cried to my mother to complain, have the nerve to make fun of him?"

"Chujiu, don't be ungrateful!" Mo Mingjie became angry and embarrassed when the past was brought up.

Chujiu nonchalantly sarcastically said, "I want to remind you that before you make fun of others, you should first consider who you are. Otherwise, when you get slapped in the face, you won't even know who you are."

"Chujiu, who do you think you are?" Mo Mingjie couldn't help but curse.

Thinking of something, he smiled again: "You have caused so much trouble yourself. You have brought shame to your Chu family, and you still have the nerve to criticize me? Do you really think that just by saying you will mend your ways, those you have offended will forgive you? You better take care of yourself."

"Xiaoyun, let's go."

He snorted coldly and walked forward without looking back.

"What bad luck." Chujiu rolled his eyes.

After Mo Mingjie and Mo Yun left, Xu Lian started to act up again.

Pointing at Chujiu, he said to Xu Yan beside him: "Second brother, you see, this is her true face, sharp-tongued. She scolded me first before, and I scolded her because I was so angry."

"Alian, stop making trouble." Xu Yan had seen Chujiu's ability and naturally didn't want to argue with her. Besides, no one else had mentioned the matter yet, but she still wanted to bring it up. Isn't that asking for trouble?

Chujiu was already in a bad mood because of what Mo Mingjie said, and now when he heard Xu Lian say this, his face immediately turned unhappy.

He sneered and looked at Xu Yan: "Master Xu, although I have reformed, I still hold a grudge. Especially..."

At this point, she looked at Xu Lian meaningfully: "The revenge for killing me."

After hearing this, Xu Lian was startled and her face turned pale. She thought of something and raised her hand to grab the sleeve of her second brother beside her.

Xu Yan heard some of her meaning and looked at Xu Lian angrily, "A Lian, what's going on?"

Xu Lian was furious to see that her brother believed the other person's words so easily. She pointed at Chujiu angrily and said, "She is talking nonsense."

He put his hand down and looked at Chujiu again: "What evidence do you have?"

If she dared to ask this, she could guarantee that Chujiu had no evidence to prove that she was the one who caused her to fall off the cliff. Although Sima Lang knew about this besides herself, he would never betray her.

At this moment, everyone else around had gone to line up, leaving only Chu Furong and a few others.

Chu Furong, who was always cheerful and friendly outside, also turned cold after hearing what Chu Jiu and Xu Lian said: "Fourth Miss Xu, although my sister was a little unreasonable in the past, she has always been brave enough to take responsibility for her actions and would never do anything to wrongly accuse others."

Because before the ninth day of the ninth month, if he didn't like someone, he would just make fun of them or hit them with his fists, and he had never wronged anyone.

Even when she bullied Mo Mingjie in the Mo family five years ago, she beat him openly and secretly set up various small traps on the road where Mo Mingjie passed. When Mo Mingjie complained, she didn't bother to lie, but admitted it as if it was natural, as if she was afraid that others would not know that it was her who beat him.

She didn't even think that it was wrong for her to hit people randomly, and she even threatened to hit them again next time. It's really infuriating.

This is why Chu Furong, who clearly hated Chu Jiu before, was able to forgive Chu Jiu after spending some time together.

He was indeed annoying before the ninth day of the first lunar month, but he was better than those villains who smiled in front of you but acted schemingly behind your back.
