Mu Xue and Mu Xue

"Cough cough!" Ziyuan coughed a few times and then said, "It's okay, it's okay. I choked on the tea." Her face flushed slightly and there was a hint of apology in her eyes.

Ziyuan patted his chest gently, trying to relieve the discomfort he had just felt.

Mu Xue handed her handkerchief to Lin Mo while smiling. After Lin Mo took the handkerchief, he wiped the tea off his face and complained, "What are you doing~ Ouch~ Is this really okay!?" His tone was full of helplessness and his facial expression was very funny.

Lin Mo wiped the tea off his face vigorously, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I just choked a little, it wasn't intentional." Ziyuan apologized again.

Her eyes were full of sincerity, leaving no room for doubt about her sincerity.

However, was Ziyuan really not doing it on purpose? Yes, it was indeed not her intention. She was just a little shocked after hearing Yun Yufei's explanation.

What kind of good person would tell such a thing to others? Ziyuan thought secretly in her heart. She felt that Yun Yufei's behavior was a little inappropriate.

Yan Liyu, who was standing next to him, laughed so hard when he saw Lin Mo being sprayed with tea in the face.

His laughter was hearty and clear, echoing in the air like a silver bell.

Yan Liyu covered his stomach, almost laughing until tears came out. "Haha, Lin Mo, you are so unlucky!" Yan Liyu teased.

Lunchtime ended amidst laughter and joy. Sunlight streamed through the windows onto the cafeteria floor, leaving patches of golden light.

Everyone stood up and prepared to leave the cafeteria.

After lunch, Ziyuan told them that they would not set off for another hour and asked them to prepare well.

Ziyuan's eyes were full of anticipation, she hoped that everyone could perform at their best in the competition.

Now Muxue has something very important to do, which is to pick up Linglong to come to the academy.

After a year of rest, Linglong has almost recovered and no longer just sleeps every day.

Occasionally I would come out to bask in the sun and go for a walk with Muxue.

Linglong has rarely traveled far, so this time Muxue insisted on taking her out to see the world.

Muxue's heart was full of anticipation. She imagined Linglong's surprised expression when she saw the outside world.

Mu Xue quickened her pace and walked towards Linglong's residence.

Along the way, she was in an exceptionally happy mood, as if all her worries had been thrown away.

Ziyuan and Muxue went home together.

In their minds, they must never relax at any time, because the enemy will always strike when you least expect it.

They know very well that if they are not careful, they may fall into danger.

The two walked on the path home, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, forming patches of light.

Before they knew it, Mu Xue and Lin Mo had lived in the small town for more than a year, and Zi Yuan had no idea how long he had lived there.

Every flower, grass and tree on this path is very familiar to them.

Every blooming flower and every green leaf carries their memories.

The path was very quiet today, so quiet that there was not even a sound of insects chirping or the wind blowing through the grass.

This unusual silence is creepy and strange.

Ziyuan couldn't help but become alert.

Her eyes became sharp and she carefully observed her surroundings and the road ahead.

She guessed that the enemy might have set up a magic circle or buried talismans on the road they had to pass in order to catch them off guard.

With Ziyuan's eyesight, it is easy to distinguish between magic circles and talismans.

As long as they are not particularly advanced talismans and magic arrays, she can spot them at a glance.

She absolutely did not believe that the people from the Assassination Alliance would send out a high-level life-level talisman or formation master to assassinate a little girl in the life realm.

Moreover, they had just walked out of the college gate, and she absolutely did not believe that anyone was arrogant enough to cause trouble outside the college gate.

As Ziyuan expected, the journey home was smooth and there was no danger.

However, she did not let her guard down, as she knew that the enemy might appear at any time.

After Mu Xue arrived home safely, she immediately went into her room.

Before Linglong could react, he picked her up and rushed out of the house.

"Linglong can't stay at home all the time! So let's go on this trip together! Believe me, you'll thank me after this!"

Linglong was held in Muxue's arms, and did not show any major emotional fluctuations because of Muxue's actions.

It still looks lazy, as if indifferent to everything around it.

It is like a fox without any emotional fluctuations, with only sleeping on its mind.

The little head was slightly drooping, with eyes half open and half closed, as if it could fall asleep at any time.

Mu Xue held Linglong and ran in one direction, but that direction was not towards the academy.

Her steps were so quick that they stirred a breeze, and her eyes were determined, as if she had a clear goal.

Ziyuan also followed Muxue and ran in this direction. She did not remind Muxue that this was not the way to the college.

She knew that Mu Xue must have her own plans.

They soon arrived at a house that was neither shabby nor luxurious.

The house stands there quietly, looking a little old.

Mu Xue didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in.

In the house, a middle-aged woman was eating.

The middle-aged woman was not angry because Mu Xue came in without knocking, but was very surprised.

A bright smile appeared on her face and her eyes were full of warmth.

"Xiaoxue is here! Is there anything wrong? You look out of breath. Xiaojie went out to play today and is not at home. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly and I will tell him for you." The old lady said, looking at the breathless Muxue.

She put down the dishes in her hands, stood up and walked to Muxue.

Muxue was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady: "Oh! Look at my memory. Xiaoxue, have you had lunch? Why don't you eat at my house?" The old lady put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, slapped her forehead and said.

Her eyes were full of concern, as if she was looking at her own daughter.

Seeing that the old lady was about to go to the kitchen, Mu Xue hurriedly stopped her and said, "Oh, no need! I have already had lunch. I came here today to tell you that my brother and I are going on a long trip, so I want Wang Jie to help take care of the chickens and vegetables at home. Of course, as a reward, you can eat the vegetables in the yard directly after they are ripe." Mu Xue's tone was sincere and her eyes were full of anticipation.

She knew that her aunt's family were kind people and would definitely agree to her request.

Yes, this lady is Wang Jie's mother. Mu Xue has full trust in Wang Jie's family. After a year of getting along with them, she has already seen through their character.

During this year, they helped each other and experienced many things together.

Whether facing small difficulties in life or some emergencies, Wang Jie and his family always lend a helping hand without hesitation, showing their kindness, diligence and sincerity.

Therefore, Muxue felt at ease leaving the household affairs to them.

"About this! Okay! No problem! Just go ahead, we will definitely raise the chicks to be plump and white!" The old lady patted her chest and promised, with a simple and warm smile on her face.

Her eyes were full of determination, which instantly dispelled Mu Xue's worries.

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words! Then I'll leave first! Goodbye, Auntie." Mu Xue waved goodbye to Wang Jie's mother.

There was a grateful smile on her face, and her eyes showed her trust and expectation for the aunt's family.

Mu Xue turned and left with brisk steps, as if a huge stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.

Then Muxue left the house. Ziyuan had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

She stood there quietly, her posture upright, like an elegant guardian.

The sunlight shining on her adds a touch of mystery to her.

"Have you finished explaining?" Ziyuan asked softly, her voice gentle and pleasant.

"Okay, let's go." Mu Xue nodded, with a determined look in her eyes.

They walked side by side, heading towards the unknown future, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future.
