The first day of the new year!

At the hour of Yin, under a pitch-black sky, Yun Qing rode with Mu Qingcheng to Kanyun Peak on Dongling Mountain. This was Mu Qingcheng's first visit to the peak since the mine collapse.

Unexpectedly, seeing that Yunfeng was full of black armored soldiers, there were at least several thousand people here. These people were all Yun Qing's personal guards.

They arrived at the site of the original collapse, which had already been cleared. Fortunately, the area containing Prince Shaojun's tomb remained intact. Only the palace and streetscape above had collapsed, and Yun Qing was currently having them cleaned and rebuilt.

Yun Qing held Mu Qingcheng's hand, and they soon arrived at the bronze door along the cave.

The huge bronze door was half buried by collapsed boulders, and only the upper part could be seen.

Although Yun Qing repeatedly emphasized that the collapse here had nothing to do with her, Mu Qingcheng still felt quite guilty.

Yun Qing held Mu Qingcheng's hand and turned around to see the little girl looking anxious. She felt happy in her heart and deliberately showed a look of grief and pain on her face.

Mu Qingcheng blamed herself even more. What should she do? "Yun Qing, don't be sad. We will find more people and we will definitely restore this place to its original state."

Yun Qing pretended to sigh and said, "I'm fine, Nuannuan, don't worry. It's just that I always feel heartbroken when I come here alone. I'm already very happy that you can accompany me here to pay tribute to my parents today. It's much better than coming alone."

"Oh! Really? Then I'll always come with you from now on."

Yun Qing quickly lowered his eyes, but still couldn't hide the joyful frown on his face.

"Well! It's settled then. You must come with me."

Of course, at this time, Mu Qingcheng dared to agree to anything Yun Qing asked, which would also alleviate her inner guilt.

A large open space has been cleared in front of the bronze door, and an altar with offerings has been placed on the space.

"Were these all cleared out by your Black Armored Army?"

"That's not the case. It's Lu Chengze's thousand men. The coal mine and iron mine don't need so many people, so I sent them here to clean up the rocks."

Mu Qingcheng understood, and Yun Qing came to the incense table and began to burn incense and worship.

He picked up three incense sticks with both hands, lit them on the candle, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner. Then, he lifted his clothes and knelt down to worship three times.

Mu Qingcheng followed suit, lighting the incense with both hands and inserting it into the incense burner. She knelt beside Yun Qing and bowed three times towards the incense burner.

When she looked up again, she saw Yun Qing looking at her with a smile in her eyes. Mu Qingcheng was puzzled. Did she do something wrong? She scratched her head. She really didn't know because she had never participated in a sacrifice before.

Yun Qing reached out and helped her up, gently stroked her cheek, and said softly, "Thank you, Nuannuan!"

Incense curled up, and suddenly, there was a loud clattering sound, and a fist-sized stone rolled down from the top of the pile of stones and rolled all the way to Mu Qingcheng's feet.

Yun Qing subconsciously held Mu Qingcheng in his arms. The two of them held each other and waited for a long while, but no more stones fell.

Yun Qing carefully let go of Mu Qingcheng and looked around.

"Nuannuan, it's still not safe here, let's go."

Mu Qingcheng also felt that it was chilly here, as if someone was walking towards them on gravel. She was also panicking and decided to leave quickly.

As soon as she turned around, she tripped over the stone. She screamed and rushed forward, but Yun Qing was quick to pull her back.

"Nuannuan, be careful, hold my hand, I will take you out."

"and many more!"

Yun Qing looked at Mu Qingcheng in confusion, only to see the little girl squat down, pick up the stone on the ground, and look at it carefully in her hand.

"Yunqing, look, there seems to be a flower on this stone. It was carved by humans."

Yun Qing also squatted down and took the stone. There were indeed patterns on the fist-sized stone. It was carved by hand, but it was incomplete. However, you could still vaguely make out that it was a lotus flower.

Yun Qing confirmed again and again: "Yes, it is a lotus pattern."

Yun Qing helped Mu Qingcheng up and looked around. It was obvious that the stone had fallen from a large stone with carved patterns. Apart from the lotus pattern on the bronze door, where else were there any other patterns carved in the tomb?

The two men didn't dare to search here, as there was no pattern on any stone within their sight.

Yun Qing said: "It's too dangerous, stop looking, let's go!"

The two men left the tomb and came outside. Yun Qing called a black-armored soldier and gave him some instructions in a low voice. Then the two men left Dongling Mountain.

By the time they returned to the Mu Mansion in the bamboo forest, it was already daybreak, and Mu Qingcheng had already fallen asleep on horseback. On the way back, Yun Qing wrapped Mu Qingcheng tightly in a fox fur cloak, so that the cold wind could not reach her at all.

Last night was truly wild, with all the dancing and singing. If Yun Qing hadn't tricked Mu Qingcheng away, they would have been making such a fuss until dawn. I wonder if their arms and legs hurt, or if their voices are hoarse.

Only Chen Kang and his wife were afraid to sleep, fearing they would fall into a deep sleep the moment they lay down. On the other hand, everyone else was sound asleep, and no one had woken up yet. The entire Mu Mansion was completely silent.

Yun Qing carried Mu Qingcheng back to her bedroom and gently placed his little girl on the bed. Mu Qingcheng was still clutching the stone tightly in her arms. Yun Qing was deeply moved. This little girl always wanted to help him. He must have done something good in his past life to have met her in this life.

Yun Qing's hand gently brushed across Mu Qingcheng's sleeping face, took the stone from her hand, and placed it on the footstool. He then skillfully took off her outer clothes, shoes, and socks, and tucked her into bed.

Perhaps because she was too exhausted from yesterday's hustle and bustle, Mu Qingcheng slept soundly, and even thunder couldn't wake her. She turned over, hugged Yun Qing's arm, and slept even more soundly.

"Well! Nuannuan, since you won't let me go, I'll do it reluctantly!"

After saying that, he lay down, their heads touching, and soon he fell asleep too.

Really, those dances this girl does are so tiring, even more tiring than boxing.

Mu Qingcheng slept until the afternoon before waking up. If she wasn't so hungry, she probably wouldn't have wanted to wake up.

Yun Qing woke up after only sleeping for an hour or so. He knew very well that he couldn't stay in Mu Qingcheng's room for too long, otherwise if the girl found out, she would probably be very angry with him.

So he got up from the bed, without even bothering to tidy up his messy hair and clothes, and left in a hurry.

When I opened the door, I saw the angry Liuliu, whose fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.

Yun Qing didn't even bother to roll his eyes at her. He just walked past Liu Liu with an expressionless face.

However, this action undoubtedly made Liu Liu mad. She raised her foot and wanted to kick Yun Qing, but she felt that her strength was not enough.

He could only curse at Yun Qing's back: "Humph! You bastard, you dissolute scoundrel, you pervert..."
