The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and Mu Sheng walked in with heavy footsteps and knelt down beside Jiu Ning on the bed.

"Sister...I burned the picture."

"No, Sister Muyao, Ah Sheng did this for me."

Mu Yao moved her ears, turned her gaze to the outside of the house, and said loudly.

"What are you doing hiding outside? Come in!"

Lin Miaomiao just heard the system prompt sound, reminding her that the third novice task has been completed, and she was very happy!

Before she could leave, she was discovered and called out, just like someone who was doing something naughty in class and was caught by the teacher.

She felt wronged! Although she also came to destroy the picture, but wasn't it too late?

He could only take small steps into the room, and when his calves felt weak, he knelt down.

"Sister Muyao, I..."

If she didn't come here for the pictures, then what was she coming for? What... How was she going to explain it?

But Mu Yao didn't ask at all. She was furious when she saw three people kneeling in the room.

"Jiujiu, you and Miss Lin go back first, Ah Sheng stay."

Jiu Ning still didn't move and lowered her head even more. It was clearly her fault, and she couldn't let Zi Qi bear the responsibility.

"Sister Muyao, please punish me, it's all my fault!"

The voice was small and pitiful, but Mu Yao still kept her eyes on Mu Sheng, and said with a look of regret that he was not as good as she thought.

"I didn't expect that you have learned to find help?"

Mu Sheng looked at it for a long time. Although he had his reasons for doing so, he had wanted to destroy the Map of the Hundred Demons Mountains and Seas for a long time.

"Ah Sheng, I know you did this. Sister knows that all these years, you have always wanted me to not investigate the matter of the great demon woman, but the woman wiped out my entire family, and I have to avenge this. If you are afraid, just leave."

"It would be fine if you just called Jiujiu, but why did you bring Miss Lin along? What does she have to do with this? Do you really not care about the safety of others?"

Why did she let it go? Was this looking down on her?

Jiuning stood up suddenly, scaring everyone, and then knelt down again embarrassedly.

"Sister Muyao, you wrongly blamed Ziqi. It was me who wanted to save the Mirror Demon. Please punish me!"

Mu Yao rolled her eyes at Jiu Ning and said, "You want to exonerate Ah Sheng, but you can't find a better excuse. This is not your fault. It's Ah Sheng who is too unreasonable."

Why don't you believe it? Jiu Ning turned around and looked at Mu Sheng beside him, looking him up and down.

He was almost saying that Mu Sheng was unpopular. Mu Sheng understood the meaning in the other person's eyes and glared back at Jiu Ning.

"Ah Sheng, how can you be so rude? Not only did you drag me around for so long and make a fuss, but you also blamed me. Apologize now."

Jiu Ning shrugged helplessly, his face changing into a tearful expression.

"Sister Muyao, then punish him! He is the one who asked me to do it."

Mu Sheng widened his eyes in disbelief, held his breath, and looked at Jiu Ning with a squint.

Jiu Ning lowered his head guiltily, then looked up secretly and blinked at Mu Sheng.

"The Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map is such an important magical tool. Ah Sheng, you've gone too far this time. Stand still!"

"go out!!!"

Seeing that Mu Yao was really angry, the three of them didn't dare to provoke her anymore, nor did they dare to beg for mercy. They could only walk out of the door silently.

But they didn't leave. They found a staircase and sat down, looking at each other.

Jiu Ning sat in the middle, leaned against Mu Sheng and turned to ask.

"Miss Lin, why are you back here tonight?"

Mu Sheng's attention was completely attracted by Jiujiu, and he didn't notice what happened tonight, nor the presence of the third person.

After being reminded for a long time, he remembered the strange things that had happened in the past few days. He also turned his gaze to Lin Miaomiao, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Miss Lin, the fact that you warned Brother Liu that my sister was in danger is very strange in itself.

The talisman paper pasted on my sister's door was torn off half by someone. Who did this?

Tonight, he came to my sister's door for no apparent reason and asked, "What is your purpose?"

Mu Sheng asked a series of questions, making Lin Miaomiao panic. She didn't know how to gesture. Her eyes darted left and right, and she suddenly looked up.

"I...I did this because I'm afraid you'll take revenge on my father."

"Revenge? Why?"

Jiu Ning turned around and looked at Mu Sheng in confusion, and Mu Sheng shrugged.

"Mr. County Magistrate?"

Lin Miaomiao nodded, looked up and said in a low voice.

"Aren't you going to report my father for accepting ill-gotten gains? Could you please let my father go?"

"So what? If we send the account books to the capital, it will be considered as justice for the people."

Lin Miaomiao fell to her knees with a thud.

"How about this? I'll help you calm down Sister Muyao, but you don't report my father, okay?"

Mu Sheng immediately raised his chin and said proudly.

"I've been with my sister for so many years. Not to mention that she's mad at me right now, even if she wants to beat me to death, I have no complaints. And I've hired you to get involved."

Jiu Ning looked at Mu Sheng resentfully. Why did he have this problem again? When others were talking, he only picked out what he wanted to hear and ignored everything else.

Lin Miaomiao clasped her hands together, looking flattering.

"But...but wouldn't it be better if we could calm her down?"

"Impossible!" Mu Sheng refused without hesitation.

"Shut up, don't interrupt!"

Jiu Ning grabbed Mu Sheng's sleeve and stopped him from arguing.

Mu Sheng immediately sat aside obediently. Lin Miaomiao looked at him with his mouth wide open. It would be easy to deal with now that she knew who would make the decision.

He turned to look at Jiujiu and silently gave him a thumbs up.

"Miss Lin, do you have any good ideas?"

Jiuning's eyes were sparkling with expectation. Lin Miaomiao nodded vigorously. The two of them ignored the dark faces behind them and hugged each other's arms like best friends who had been together for many years.

Then he walked away, leaving Mu Sheng standing there as punishment.

Early the next morning, Mu Yao had just gotten up when Jiu Ning walked in with a basin of water.

"Sister Muyao, I've already prepared some water for you, come and wash up!"

Mu Yao had an expressionless face. She looked at Mu Sheng who had been standing outside all night and walked out on her own.

Jiuning walked out dejectedly and shook his head at Miaomiao who was hiding in the rockery.

When Mu Yao came back, Jiu Ning happily took out the lunch box, put breakfast on it, and personally served her porridge.

"Sister Muyao, I bought this for you early this morning when I went to North City. Miaomiao said it's delicious. Would you like to try it?"

Mu Yao looked at it and probably didn't want to waste food, so she finished her breakfast. She still ignored him and went out to practice sword after eating.

Jiuning also followed happily, holding a towel, water, etc. in his hands. When he saw the other party finished practicing, he immediately offered them.

"Sister Muyao, Ziqi knows he was wrong. Please don't be angry with him, okay?"

"Jiujiu, you've always listened to him for so many years. Whenever he got into trouble, you took the blame for him. He's spoiled you to the point of being lawless."

Mu Yao sighed, took Jiu Ning's hand, and began to teach her.

"Ah Sheng is my younger brother, so I naturally wouldn't be angry with him. I was also angry yesterday, so I spoke a little harshly."

"Then can we release Ziqi... He hasn't slept all night..."

"Can't"
