" Senior Brother, did you really deceive me?"
Zhao Shizе was taken aback when he heard that Master Brother might go to Jing'an City's Leiyan Pavilion tonight for a walk. Then the corners of his mouth were hard to suppress a smile again and again confirmation.
Lu Jin'an nodded, "I can only say it's possible."
Zhao Shizе couldn't hold back his laughter. He was too lazy to care about what Master Brother referred to as "possible." After all, going to Jing'an City would probably become a necessity!
The last time he went to Leiyan Pavilion, a new batch of Fox girls had just arrived. Before leaving, he deliberately asked the madam there if Master Brother would be treated well if he came.
The answer he received was not surprising: if Master Brother went, no matter which entertainer, it would be free pickings and choices!
Even he could also get free for a month.
Zhao Shizе was so envious at the time that he really envied Master Brother.
At that moment, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic, thinking that in the hearts of those women at Leiyan Pavilion, Master Brother was like an unreachable 'immortal maiden,' and the more unattainable they found him, the more their hearts yearned for him.
Zhao Shizе understood this principle, but he couldn't do it because he loved women the most.
Although Leiyan Pavilion has proposed conditions that touched Zhao Shizе's heart, he didn't take them seriously. First of all, Master Brother was devoted to the path, and more importantly, if Master Brother was forced to go white-pawning, the master, uncle and others would beat him so severely that he couldn't live a normal life!
Especially, Sister Mu is also very formidable.
But never expected, after Master Brother returned after ten days, he actually proposed to go to Leiyan Pavilion for a visit.
Oh~ This is Master Brother's initiative to go, even if Master and Uncle know, can they do anything to me?
Zhao Shizé excitedly slapped his thigh, and under the threatening glares of Second Brother and Fourth Sister, he asked discreetly, "Master Brother, is everything alright with Sister Mu?"
"She will come along." Lu Jin'an sipped a mouthful of tea and looked at Zhao Shizé's stiff expression, asking, "What's wrong?"
"N-no problem." Zhao Shizé looked up at the sky: "Sister Mu should go."
Ah, why did I have to speak out of turn... Eh, but speaking out of turn can't change anything.
Jiang Wuya and Guan Wen had a sigh of relief in their hearts, as long as Sister Mu goes, there will be no problem.
Zhao Shizé sighed, and suddenly his peripheral vision glanced over the coming Mu Qingyue, quickly serious and loud, "Sister Mu should go, keeping an eye on Master Brother, that's very reasonable!"
Jiang Wuya and Guan Wen gave him a disdainful look, but deep down they truly felt envy for Zhao Shizé's 'good fortune'.
This little guy worked hard to earn contribution points for the sect to trade for spiritual crystal so that he could go to the brothel, and every month he completed his tasks on time with extra effort.
Definitely, to strengthen and earn spiritual crystals was just to visit the brothels.
Why didn't this kid join the Harmony Sect in the first place?
"Let's go."
Seeing that Mu Qingyue had arrived, Lu Jin'an finished his tea and stood up to say.
·····
Soon, they arrived on the flying ship and let Zhao Shizé and others go to Leiyan Pavilion first before accompanying Mu Qingyue walking on the night of Jing'an City.
This time there was no camouflage, but seeing the Big Brother of Wan Dao Sect and the Mu Xian with the title of "young and talented" walking together, no one dared to disturb them.
However, it seemed to further confirm the rumors that the two were sparring partners.
Lu Jin'an wasn't particularly concerned about this, but he felt that Mu Qingyue seemed to be in a bad mood.
If she didn't talk, Lu Jin'an didn't have much to say either. If he had to say something, he was more familiar with Zhu Nanzhi, whom he had only known for a year and a half, than with Mu Qingyue.
What he knew best about Mu Qingyue was her swordsmanship.
Apart from that, he basically couldn't read her mind.
"Little Brother."
"Hmm?" Lu Jinan tilted his head to look at Mu Qingyue, whose dark cloth covering her eyes was tucked behind her silver-white hair, almost hidden by the fine hair. It looked like a hair ornament in the faint outline.
"I may be very stupid." Mu Qingyue continued to speak.
Surprisingly, Lu Jinan heard a trace of confusion in her cold tone, and he felt a sudden curiosity in his heart.
"Sister goes the path of the sword, and sword cultivators most emphasize a direct and unwavering edge... especially Sister, as a powerful sword cultivator, how could she be confused?"
It shouldn't be because of sword cultivation confusion, or else she couldn't become the "sword saint" in others' eyes.
He couldn't help but think of the scene where the master embraced Mu Qingyue, and he asked in half-jest, "Could it be because of the master?"
"Hmm."
When she admitted it directly, Lu Jinan guessed that the 'deep mother-daughter relationship' he saw before might be the master comforting his sister who was upset.
Did the master confess?
Lu Jinan pondered for a while and asked more directly, "Were you crying in the master's arms at that time?"
"No." With her head down, Mu Qingyue seemed to be looking at the shoe tip while stepping: "I won't cry."
It's not that I don't know how to cry, it's that I don't want to.
Lu Jinan understood and continued, "Then it will still be troublesome?"
Mu Qingyue remained silent.
"I really didn't expect..." Lu Jinan laughed: "Sister, you're also so inept."
Mu Qingyue stopped her steps and looked at Lu Jin'an, who still kept walking forward. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything, and continued to follow him.
"I don't know what the master and you talked about." Lu Jinan continued slowly, "But you should really learn from me, learn my thick skin."
"The master ordered me to distance myself from Nanzhi, but I completely ignored it," Lu Jinan said with a smug expression: "I even dared to continue flirting with the master."
"Very thick skin, right?" Lu Jinan looked at her again, tilting his head: "But 'thick skin' can still be described with a good word, which is not to live a life in your own way because of others' words. Doesn't that sound very nice?"
Mu Qingyue slowed her pace a bit. The meaning of the 'mother' figure's words in the morning seemed to coincide with what her younger brother had just said.
'One's own way...'
Mu Qingyue felt a shoulder being grabbed by one hand and then her body leaned into a warm embrace, instantly stiffening so much that she couldn't even take a step forward.
Lu Jinan looked down at the blush spreading across her cheeks beneath the dark cloth, and couldn't help but pat her shoulders a few times: "Sister, let's walk faster. You're two years older than me, don't get lost while following."
The breathless Mu Qingyue's fingers were tight and then loose, it seemed like a while before she calmed down her emotions, and opened her mouth with a lowered tone: "As long as I catch you, I won't lose you."
"That's your job." Lu Jinan said calmly: "I won't stop my steps."
"Um." Mu Qingyue shifted her body, as if trying to pull half of her into Lu Jinan's arms.
When Lu Jinan was pondering in his heart about the little material of Sister's chest, the next second his waist was stung, his backside was arched and then pushed back.
The next second, he also quickly turned his body towards Mu Qingyue, his eyes twitching slightly: "Who asked you to grab..."
"I let you grab." Mu Qingyue's left hand disappeared under his clothes: "My way."
"You..."
Mu Qingyue slightly tilted her head, as if wanting Lu Jinan to look into her eyes, and her voice remained steady——
"Sister can't see, so I need a cane, right?"
Bright cane, a walking stick used by the blind to explore their way.
"Little Brother, that's just right."
