Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Cang Lin looked at Mu Xue's cold and sinister smile, and he involuntarily shuddered. He quickly said, "Little Xue, don't be angry. I really just wanted to chat with him. If you don't believe me, ask him."

Cang Lin stepped forward, getting closer to Liu Yi, and said, "Hey, last night, we were just chatting, weren't we? Hmm?"

As Cang Lin approached, Liu Yi trembled even more violently, repeatedly screaming, "Let me go! Don't come any closer!!"

Ren Yuan: Hehe.

Yoruichi: Chatting? I don't believe you for a second.

Mu Xue, holding the whip, turned to look at Cang Lin and slowly said, "How come I didn't know you had such amazing skills? You almost killed someone with just a chat?"

"Xiaoxue, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong this time. He will definitely answer you properly no matter what you ask!" Cang Lin quickly admitted his mistake, his attitude was extremely good.

Wang Heping stared at Cang Lin in disbelief. Was the sun rising in the west?

This was truly the first time he had ever seen his owner apologize to a little girl in a coquettish and adorable tone.

Cang Lin, could he be possessed by some evil spirit?

Yoruichi said she really couldn't bear to look; this was the way the ruler of Shanghai was truly...

Ren Yuan couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle when he saw Cang Lin like this.

Feeling bored, Mu Xue threw down the whip in her hand, turned around and sat down at the table, asking, "Liu Yi, who ordered you to murder the fifth young lady of the Mu family?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan stopped laughing and stared blankly at Mu Xue.

Isn't the fifth young lady of the Mu family just herself?

Realizing what had happened, he glared angrily at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was struggling internally at this moment. He never expected that the reason he was arrested was because of Mu Xue, the fifth young lady of the Mu family.

He was tormented by inner turmoil; if he revealed who was behind it all, he wouldn't survive.

Even if he doesn't tell, he'll still suffer a fate worse than death.

The moment he looked up, he saw Cang Lin standing behind Mu Xue, and his body trembled uncontrollably. This man was a devil.

He roared inwardly, "This man is a devil crawled out of hell."

He was already exhausted, both physically and mentally, and he weakly asked, "If I reveal who's behind this, will you let me go?"

“Of course,” Mu Xue paused deliberately, and just as Liu Yi became happy, she continued, “No.”

Mu Xue's expression was icy, and she looked at Liu Yi as if he were a dead man.

Liu Yi then laughed and snorted, "Since we're all going to die anyway, why should I tell you?"

Mu Xue suddenly laughed and slowly said, "If you tell me, you can die more quickly. If you don't tell me, I won't let you die. Besides, I have a lot of torturous pills in my hand. I'll use you to test them on you. I'll let you live longer, so that you can't die even if you want to."

Liu Yi's pupils dilated as he stared at Mu Xue in horror. When she mentioned that she had a lot of pills in her hand, he realized a possibility and was horrified by his own thought.

Cang Lin then said, "Xiao Xuexue, why waste pills to deal with him? I'll just chat with him."

Mu Xue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "You still have the nerve to bring up chatting? If you keep talking, you'll kill this person."

Yoruichi stepped forward and walked to Mu Xue's side, saying, "Fifth Miss, how about I interrogate her instead? So as not to dirty your hands."

Mu Xue smiled and said, "Back then, he and another person knocked me unconscious in the backyard of the Mu residence and took me out of the Mu residence. This is not something that Prince Jing's son could do alone, after all, there were people in the Mu residence who helped him."

The meaning of these words was self-evident, and Yoruichi understood.

When Mu Xue heard that Liu Yi was Mo Shijie's man, she already knew that this matter must have been the work of Mo Shijie and Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao cannot be moved yet. Without Mu Jiaojiao, Aunt An's connection with the capital will be useless, and the capital will probably give up on Aunt An's connection. Therefore, Mu Jiaojiao cannot be moved yet, but Mo Shijie and Mu Xue will definitely not let her go.

Mu Xue glanced at Liu Yi with a cold smile, then turned and walked out of the cellar.

Cang Lin followed closely behind, and Ren Yuan glanced at Ye Yi, who was still standing there, and then at Liu Yi before following her out.

Yoruichi suddenly gave a wicked smile as she watched Liu Yi slowly approach.

"Xiao Xuexue, why did you let Ye Yi interrogate her? I could have done it too!" Cang Lin quickly caught up with Mu Xue and asked unwillingly.

Mu Xue didn't even glance at Cang Lin before quickly walking out of the cellar. The sunlight made her squint uncomfortably.

“Ye Yi is one of Ye Shangyuan’s people. If he wants to make a move against Mo Shijie, we’ll have to help him out,” Mu Xue said.

"Why does Ye Shangyuan have to help? I can go too!" Cang Lin said.

Mu Xue glanced at him, sighed, and said with utmost seriousness, "Uncle, I didn't know your identity before, so it was fine if I asked you to do some things for me. But now that I know your identity, I absolutely cannot let you risk your life for me again. There's no room for discussion on this!"

Cang Lin felt a warmth in his heart when he heard Mu Xue say that she didn't want his help for his safety. He smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me. In this Jingwang Mansion of Xiyu Kingdom, it wouldn't be difficult for me to take the life of the Jingwang Heir."

"Perhaps you can get away, but there's no guarantee that this won't become a reason for you to be attacked in the future. I will absolutely not allow such a hidden danger to arise," Mu Xue said firmly.

Seeing that Mu Xue was about to get angry again, Cang Lin immediately said, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. I won't interfere; let Ye Shangyuan handle his own family matters."

Ren Yuan then walked out of the cellar.

He exclaimed dramatically, "Oh, it's so comfortable standing in the sunshine!" As he spoke, he stretched and walked towards Mu Xue.

When Mu Xue saw Ren Yuan come out, she asked, "Brother Ren, when do you plan to go back to the Treasure Pavilion?"

"How could Little Xue be so heartless? She only let me stay for one night and now she wants to kick me out?" Ren Yuan said, feigning grievance.

Cang Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at Ren Yuan's aggrieved expression, and felt a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth and said, "Speak properly!"

“Little Xue, I was entrusted by Master Zong to protect you!” Ren Yuan said.

“Brother Ren, you can see for yourself that I have someone protecting me now, and I can protect myself. After all, you have a reputation in the Treasure Pavilion, and it's not appropriate for you to always be with me! If I need any help, I will definitely come to you,” Mu Xue explained.

Cang Lin crossed his arms and looked at Ren Yuan.

Seeing Mu Xue's resolute attitude, Ren Yuan stopped making trouble.

“Master Zong has returned to his sect, and we don’t know when he will come back. I will stay at the Treasure Pavilion for the time being. Come and find me whenever you need me,” Ren Yuan said.
