Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

The hoarse voice was filled with disbelief and panic, and the scarlet on the fingertips instantly shifted to Mu Lanxun's eyes.

He clamped her arms somewhat out of control and tried to push her away.

"Don't move, please, don't move..." The murmur came again, with a hint of sob.

Mu Lanxun stared with his eyes wide open, his breathing becoming uncontrollably rapid. He felt his entire head was buzzing. His head was covered by a sleeve, and his vision became dim.

He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it. The embrace that was warm not long ago now felt scorching hot. Every breath he took was filled with the faint smell of blood.

He endured it until his whole body was shaking, and there was a tingling pain in his chest.

"Xier, Xier..." Mu Lanxun buried his head deeply in her arms, his arms tightly holding her waist.

"What happened?"

He was waiting for her to speak, but Feng Xili frowned and hesitated.

She bit her lip, feeling a little overwhelmed. The thing she was most worried about had happened.

The scene in the dream was too real and terrifying. She absolutely would not let the dream come true!

"It's nothing serious, it's just that Zuo Feng and the others are being taken into custody." Feng Xili turned the words around and picked out a trivial matter to say a few words.

Mu Lanxun's tense body suddenly relaxed. He closed his eyes with difficulty, and his arms dropped down as if they had lost their strength.

Feng Xili sensed something was wrong and was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head to look at the head under the long sleeves and clearly felt someone's loss.

"I..." The person in her arms stood up immediately. She stood there in a daze until his eyes fell on her bloodstained cuffs.

"Hehe, is this the price you have to pay?" A cold and hoarse murmur sounded, and he finally raised his eyes to look at her.

Mu Lanxun stared at her evasive eyes with a burning gaze and a pleading look in his eyes, his fists clenched tightly against his waist and abdomen.

"No, no... this is not..." Before she could finish her words, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and she gasped unconsciously.

The next moment the grip on her shoulder loosened, and she wondered, "Axun?"

Mu Lanxun looked at her from two steps away, "Xi'er, you should know that you are the most important to me. If the price you bear..."

He raised the corner of his mouth slantingly, smiling sinisterly, "It's beyond your ability to bear. I will make it pay the price."

Pay the price? Make him? Who?

Why can't she understand?

The hand he stretched out just missed, and Mu Lanxun pulled his hand away slightly to avoid her sudden approach.

"If you don't want the world to be in chaos and the people to suffer, just take care of yourself."

Feng Xili blinked in surprise. Ah Xun, is he angry? She had never seen him angry before. She stood there stupidly, looking at her palm that had just grasped nothing.

This was the first time Mu Lanxun rejected her. She felt a little blocked in her heart, but more of it was surprise. What did he mean by those words he just said?

The world is in chaos, and the people are suffering. Who has the ability to do this?

Mu Lanxun rushed away from the prefectural government office like a gust of wind, with four obscure auras following closely around him.

"Have everyone ready. Contact Mu Fengze from Chu State, contact Chun Geng from Ya'an City, and have Shangsi come back. Let's get started."

The light sound of words echoed in the wind. Xia Feng, who had sensed something was wrong, heard the long string of instructions as soon as he approached. He was startled. Why was it so sudden?

Mu Fengze is not ready yet. What has upset the master?

"Master, regarding the Chu State..." Xia Feng was about to make a suggestion when he was frozen on the spot by an extremely cold gaze.

Mu Lanxun walked towards her, his eyes flashing with a biting coldness, "Xier, what have you dreamed about recently?"

Xia Feng's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly remembered Feng Xili's scream that morning, which frightened Wu Bai so much that he almost broke in.

Mu Lanxun's face turned cold, "Tell me! What's going on?"

Xia Feng immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Master, three days ago, the young lady woke up from a nightmare and felt a little weak. But she seems to have recovered a lot in the past two days, so I didn't say much to you."

He took a deep breath. Was it a nightmare?

Would that be a normal nightmare?

You know, nothing Xier dreams of is simple!

"Get up." Xia Feng stood up immediately after hearing that, but was met with a gust of palm wind in her face. She gritted her teeth and stood straight.

"Pa!" With a loud slap, the heat instantly spread across the entire cheek.

Xia Feng knelt on one knee again without frowning, "I admit my mistake!"

"Did she reveal anything?"

"...The young lady didn't say much, but she was a little absent-minded that day." When she said this, she suddenly realized that Feng Xili's dreams were always about some dangers and disasters in the future.

To have her wake up screaming like that, it must have been something very serious. If innocent people were involved, the young lady wouldn't have kept it a secret. But now, she has no intention of raising any alarm...

It only means that no innocent people are involved this time, so, it can only be?

The master's business?

Looking at Xia Fengcai's sudden realization, he gritted his teeth and took great pains to suppress the trembling in his heart, "Go and get some advice."

"Tell Chun Geng to prepare to escape and pack up all his things." If Emperor Qi Zhao did not keep his word, he would not let him live in peace.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Xia Feng's scalp tingled. No wonder his master was so anxious to clear the way back home.

Mu Lanxun pressed his clenched fists against his chest, his eyes filled with fear and fragility.

Xier, what exactly is going on? Why are you hiding it so tightly?
