Mu Xue and Mu Xue

When Lin Mo heard the number "one year", his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had heard something incredible.

A year? A whole year! His mouth opened slightly, his face full of surprise.

"Oh, don't think too much. The college competition will start in a year. I have been your bodyguard for free this year. A life-level bodyguard! How can you be so ungrateful!" Ziyuan said speechlessly with his hands on his hips.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Mo with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Lin Mo was speechless after hearing what she said.

He stood there, his lips moving slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Although he didn't know the price of hiring a bodyguard, he knew in his heart how rare a life-level bodyguard was.

It is almost unimaginable that someone who has reached the life level is still willing to be a bodyguard for others.

Which life-level master would be so servile as to do such a thing? He wondered in his heart.

"Okay." Lin Mo finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"What, you don't want to?" Ziyuan raised her eyebrows and stared at him straight.

"No, no, how could I dare!" Lin Mo waved his hands hurriedly, a panicked look on his face.

"Okay then. By the way, you don't peek at Xue'er taking a bath every day, do you?" Ziyuan's lips curled up into an evil smile, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Ah? How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?" Lin Mo's face suddenly turned red and he hurriedly explained.

"Why not? Don't think I don't know that you peeped at me taking a shower in your room a month ago.

If it weren't for Xue'er's sake, I would have taken you to be sisters with Shiyu and Jiangnan long ago." Ziyuan folded her arms across her chest and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"That's just a misunderstanding! Who would have thought that you would take a shower so early in the morning!" Lin Mo was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

"What do you care if I like taking a bath? You said I would spread this matter in the academy. What do you think others will think of you? By then, even if I don't castrate you, you won't have the face to stay in the academy anymore~" Ziyuan approached Lin Mo and said in a low voice.

There was a hint of threat in her eyes, which made Lin Mo shiver.

At this moment, the air around seemed to have frozen, leaving only Lin Mo's nervous breathing.

Lin Mo was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"If you want me not to tell anyone, it's easy. Just make me a meal I like every day while I live here. You have to do whatever I ask you to do and you can't refuse."

Ziyuan folded his hands across his chest, raised his chin slightly, and there was a hint of unquestionable determination in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, but..." When Lin Mo said this, a pleading expression appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of the light of longing for the other party to understand.

"But what?" Ziyuan frowned slightly and looked at him with some confusion.

"Can it be changed to once every three days? Please, my good Master Ziyuan!" Lin Mo suddenly rushed forward, hugged Ziyuan's legs and said.

His voice was tearful and he looked pitiful.

Ziyuan was startled by his sudden action, her body froze instantly, and her eyes widened.

It took her a long time to react. Her face turned red and she shouted, "Get out! You hooligan!" Then she kicked Lin Mo out.

"Wow, two days isn't enough!" Lin Mo said again after getting up.

His clothes were covered in dust and his hair was a little messy, but his eyes were still looking at Ziyuan firmly.

It wasn't because he was stingy, but cooking definitely requires ingredients. How could he cook without them? And those delicious dishes were grown by Mu Xue.

If they ate the vegetables the way Ziyuan said, their growth rate would definitely not be as fast as their consumption rate! And every time someone came to see the doctor, they would give them some.

Two days might be enough, but one day is really unbearable!

Ziyuan looked at Lin Mo's pitiful appearance and felt a little sorry for him, so she had to compromise.

But she still couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

She tilted her head slightly, looked at Lin Mo, and said, "Why do you have to reduce the frequency? Do you have something to hide?" There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in her tone.

At this time, the breeze blew gently, lifting her hair, and her expression looked very serious.

"I can guess that you don't want to cook every day because of the vegetables, but I see your production is not low, so you can eat it, right?"

Ziyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

She looked at Lin Mo, waiting for his answer.

"This is what happened..." Lin Mo took a deep breath and began to explain slowly.

He described in detail the hard work Muxue put in growing vegetables, and how those vegetables were not only used to feed her family, but also to entertain patients who came to see her.

Moreover, the growth cycle of vegetables is limited. If a large amount of vegetables is consumed every day, the supply will soon be insufficient.

Lin Mo spoke while gesturing with his hands, looking very serious.

Ziyuan nodded only after Lin Mo explained the reason.

"Well~ okay, then three days will do. You are doing a good deed, and I can't destroy the good things you have done, right?" Ziyuan said with a smile of understanding on her face.

"Okay, okay, thank you Master Ziyuan, you are the best!" Lin Mo's face was full of gratitude, and his eyes were shining with joy.

Lin Mo has always supported Mu Xue in everything she does.

In his heart, he knew that his sister was an innocent, kind and pure child.

Doing bad things? That's impossible~ He often watched Mu Xue busying around, his heart filled with joy.

In this way, Ziyuan lived in Muxue's house for a long time.

But one day, Shiyu was buying flowers in the town at the foot of the college mountain. After spending so much time with Ziyuan Jiangnan, she had changed a lot.

She walked on the street with light steps and a graceful figure. Her behavior hardly resembled that of a boy.

Every time Ziyuan and Jiangnan would point out where she made mistakes and how to correct them. With their help, Shiyu became more and more elegant.

After buying the flowers, Shiyu was walking towards the college with her arms full of flowers. Her keen observation ability had already noticed that someone was following her.

"Who?!" Shi Yu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked behind her vigilantly, her eyes full of vigilance.

"You...you are Shi Yu, right?" A low voice came from the shadows.

"Who are you and why do you know my previous name?" Shiyu hugged the bouquet tightly, her body slightly tense.

"I'm from the Assassination Alliance! I was sent by them to rescue you!" The man walked out slowly with an anxious look on his face.

"No thanks, I'm doing fine now." Shi Yu said calmly, without a trace of emotion on her face.

"This may be your only chance. I have been looking for an opportunity for this month. I can't enter the academy because there are too many strong people inside, so I can only take advantage of now!" The man took a few steps forward and tried to persuade Shiyu.

"Now? Haha! Do you think there is any need for me to go out in this state?" Shi Yu raised her head slightly and said with a wry smile.

Her voice was soft and melodious, always a female one. Having not used her original voice for so long, the familiar intonation of her past seemed to have been drowned by the passage of time, and she had almost forgotten her original voice.

Every time I speak, it seems like I am getting further and further away from my past self.

After hearing this, the person sent by the Assassin Alliance to rescue her stopped and stood there in silence for a long time.

The air around seemed to be frozen, only the breeze blew gently, lifting Shiyu's hair.

After a long time, he slowly and with difficulty said: "Then you can take care of yourself!" His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of unwillingness and helplessness.

After saying that, he turned around and slowly retreated into the darkness. His figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness and disappeared from Shiyu's sight.

After this incident, Shiyu felt mixed emotions.

She stood there quietly, looking in the direction where the man disappeared, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She didn't expect that the Assassination Alliance would really send someone to rescue her. She had imagined countless times in the darkness that someone could save her from suffering, but now that such an opportunity really lay before her, she hesitated.

Because now she no longer wants to go back to her previous life.

He used to live an extremely miserable life.

Despite not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to wear every day, he was able to cultivate to his current level entirely due to his amazing talent.

When he was a child, his parents died at an early age and he was left alone and helpless, and could only live in a dilapidated temple.

There were several large holes in the roof of the temple. Whenever it rained, the house would leak. He could only curl up in the corner and hug himself to keep warm.

Every morning, he would go out early to look for discarded vegetable leaves at the market and in the wild.

The leaves were often yellow and rotten, giving off a foul smell, but in order to survive, he had to suppress his nausea and eat them.

When he was thirsty, he would run to the stream and drink the water directly. The water was icy cold and sometimes contained mud and sand, but he had no choice.

Until one day, he went to the mountains to pick mushrooms to sell as usual.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and his feet were covered with blisters.

He moved carefully through the mountains and forests, not missing any corner where mushrooms might be found.

When he passed by a cave, he walked in out of curiosity.

The cave was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell.

In the corner of the cave, he found a body.

The body was already somewhat decomposed and gave off a disgusting smell.

Next to the corpse, there was a sword.

The sword had an ancient blade and a dull gem inlaid on the hilt. Even in the dim cave, it still exuded a mysterious aura.

He approached the sword nervously and curiously, as if the gears of fate began to turn from this moment.
