Chapter 129: Groom

After a while.

Chen Mu walked out of the courtyard.

Xiao He, who was waiting outside the courtyard, saw Chen Mu coming out, suddenly bowed to Chen Mu, and then said with a smile, "Maid Ning He greets the groom."

Pa.

Chen Mu put on a straight face and slapped Xiao He’s butt.

Xiao He’s pretty face suddenly showed a blush, she quickly looked around, and seeing that no one was there, she said aggrievedly, "Groom is bullying me, I’m going to tell Miss."

"What did I bully you about?"

Chen Mu looked at Xiao He’s appearance, but asked playfully.

Xiao He’s face was even redder, and she stuttered without being able to speak. Seeing Chen Mu walking into the distance, she quickly followed behind with small steps, and said, "Miss should be back soon, I’ll take you to Miss’ place to wait."

"Okay."

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

Besides the higher-quality and better Artistic Conception Maps, what he needed most now was the Bone Forging Pill. As soon as he got the Bone Forging Pill, he would immediately start practicing Bone Forging Realm.

With the System Panel’s improvement speed, his Bone Forging would most likely be just as fast, far surpassing ordinary people. As long as he reached the Perfection of Bone Forging Realm early, and then practiced the Thunder Artistic Conception to the second step, then he would be a Five Viscera Realm existence, and he would be able to fight back.

Soon.

Xiao He led Chen Mu all the way to the east, bypassing the main courtyard on the east, after passing through several courtyards, they arrived at a somewhat small but very delicate courtyard with flowers, water, and a gazebo.

Inside was a boudoir built entirely of Zilin wood. Although Zilin wood was not as valuable as Gold Silk wood, it was also a top-notch wood material, not afraid of water and fire, would last for a thousand years, and it was also more suitable for a girl’s boudoir than Gold Silk wood.

It was indeed the first time Chen Mu had come to the place where Xu Hongyu lived.

He had stayed in the Yu family residence for almost half a year, most of the time he did not go out, practicing martial arts and comprehending, and he rarely went to Xu Hongyu’s boudoir when he did go out. The main reason was that the main courtyard area in the east was not somewhere that ordinary people could enter casually, they would be stopped by the guards outside, especially the area at the back, which was where the direct descendants of the Yu family’s younger generation lived.

Previously, when Chen Mu came to find Xu Hongyu, the servants outside would first go in to inform, and then the maids inside would find Xiao He, and finally Xiao He would go in to report to her own Miss, a layer by layer transmission, but now Chen Mu could come and go here now.

"Are you the one who takes care of the flowers and plants in this courtyard?"

Chen Mu looked at the scenery of the courtyard, and then looked at the pool with some lotus flowers floating on it. The pool water was clear, and one look could tell that it was often taken care of. It was a courtyard that only a truly wealthy family could afford.

Xiao He covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head and said, "I only take care of it occasionally, there are special people who take care of it."

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Hongyu to only have one maid, but other maids only served daily life, maids who took care of the courtyard, rather than a maid like her who could follow and assist her.

There was still a difference between a maid and a servant. In fact, after she entered the Tendon Transformation Realm, she also had a certain status, even if she left Xu Hongyu, she would not be the identity of an ordinary servant.

Chen Mu walked into the gazebo.

His eyes swept across the entire courtyard.

Whether in his previous life or this life, he was not from a wealthy family, not someone who was born able to live in such a scenic courtyard, with fine clothes and good food, and not worried about cold or warmth. But for him now, such wealth and glory were nothing.

What was a little regretful was that this place was not like his previous life. There were no wonderful artifacts to record the past. He had no chance to see what Xu Hongyu looked like when she was little. As Xiao He said, before Xu Hongyu’s father disappeared, she was also a very lively and smiling little girl at that time, and it was only later that she slowly became as cold as she was now, and he could hardly see any liveliness or smile.

In the past, Xu Hongyu’s cold appearance gave people the feeling of indifference and alienation, and Chen Mu only had some appreciation for Ice Jade Fairy’s beauty in his heart, but now, there was more pity.

Such a person, who seems to be unsociable, who seems to be cold everywhere, actually wants to get care and attention more than others in her heart. It was only because of fear, because she had to be strong, that she could only show that cold exterior.

In conclusion,

let him sacrifice a little.

Just as Chen Mu was standing in the gazebo pondering, thinking about Xu Hongyu’s appearance when she was a child, suddenly Xiao He’s voice came from the courtyard gate: "Miss, you are back, Chen…Groom is waiting for you in the courtyard."

Chen Mu turned his head to look, and saw Xu Hongyu had entered the courtyard. At this time, when she heard Xiao He’s words, she didn’t react for a moment. After a slight pause, she stared at Xiao He: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao He smiled and said, "The family head has already made the decision, and has set Miss’s marriage with the groom. Congratulations to Miss. After all these years, you are finally…Ouch."

On Xu Hongyu’s pretty face, as cold as white jade, a faint blush appeared at this time. A small hand lifted up and pinched Xiao He’s cheek.

Xiao He shrank her head, slipped out from between Xu Hongyu’s fingers, and then retreated out of the courtyard, and said with a smile, "I’ll go take care of the trivial matters for Miss first."

Saying that.

She disappeared.

Xu Hongyu stood there, turning around in a daze, looking at Chen Mu in the pavilion, at a loss for a moment.

Groom…

Earlier, when Yu Zuyi asked her about Chen Mu, she didn’t say anything else, but just stated what Chen Mu had done, praised him for what he should have been praised for, how could it suddenly be like this…

"Are you back?"

Chen Mu walked towards Xu Hongyu, and said in a gentle tone, "Did anything unexpected happen on the way?"

Xu Hongyu lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "When I came out of the Demon Slaying Division, I met He Guangyi. He asked me if I knew about the disappearance of He Guangzong and He Mingzhen, but I ignored him, and he didn’t dare to stop me by force."

He Guangyi.

The eldest son of the third generation of the He family, the elder brother of He Guangzong and He Guangxun, and also one of the Deputy Commanders of the Demon Slaying Division.

Xu Hongyu said it very simply, but it was not difficult for Chen Mu to imagine the scene where He Guangyi met Xu Hongyu, questioned her with a sullen face and challenged her, but because of the changing situation in Yuzhou Prefecture, it was not appropriate to have too much conflict, so he finally let Xu Hongyu leave.

"I should have accompanied you to the Demon Slaying Division."

Chen Mu shook his head.

He Guangyi…

A cold light flashed in his eyes. In conclusion, the feud with the He family was getting bigger and bigger. Now it was not only the Yu family and the He family that were irreconcilable, even him, sooner or later, he would have to settle all the debts with the He family one by one.

Hearing Chen Mu’s words, Xu Hongyu only felt a warm current surge into her heart. She looked up at Chen Mu, and then thinking of something, she took out a bulging sachet from her bosom, and handed it over and said:

"Here, this is sixty Bone Forging Pills."

Chen Mu took the sachet, feeling the slight warmth coming from his fingers, and then glanced at the sachet, and saw that inside were silver-white small pills, which added up to be quite heavy.

This was the amount of two portions. Xu Hongyu had exchanged all of her merits at once.

"Keep some, I probably won’t be able to use so many."

Chen Mu thought for a moment and said.

Xu Hongyu shook her head, and said, "I still need to consolidate my Qi and blood, and I won’t try to do Bone Forging in the next few months. You should take all of them, and just leave the remaining ones later."

Chen Mu knew that Xu Hongyu had absorbed a lot of demon blood essence in this demon disturbance. Although her Qi and blood had increased a lot, she also needed time to consolidate and recuperate. It would indeed take about two or three months. But taking both portions to exchange them, and giving all of them to him was not a suspicion of his aptitude, but just trying to help him as much as possible.

Looking at the clear big eyes of the jade beauty in front of him, which were looking at him, with star-like lights shining in them, Chen Mu’s heart swayed lightly. Suddenly, he approached the jade beauty’s ear, and whispered, "Hongyu, I want to kiss you."

Shua.

The jade beauty’s body trembled slightly, and her crystal clear earlobes were silently dyed with a red blush.

"You… what are you talking about…"

Xu Hongyu’s words were a little unsteady, and for a moment even her eyes dodged.

Clearly, she had done that kind of behavior earlier on the shore of Linan River, but at that time, Xu Hongyu’s reaction was not even a hundredth of what it was now. This made a touch of tenderness flash in Chen Mu’s eyes. Sure enough, this piece of white jade was very wooden to action, but it was the words themselves that could make a tinge of red show in the white jade.

A trace of blush spread along her crystal earlobes. Chen Mu looked at the pretty face of the jade beauty who was close at hand, and was a little dazed for a moment. The otherworldly feeling of being cold as the moon, which could only be hoped for but not reached, seemed to have returned to the mortal world at this time with that slight blush, like an ice lotus in full bloom. She was more beautiful than he had ever seen before.

Xu Hongyu’s heart beat like a startled deer. She wanted to escape in a panic, but her feet were rooted to the ground and could not move. Her eyes also shifted up and down, not daring to look at Chen Mu, but the expected intimacy did not come down for a long time.

When her flustered gaze finally returned to Chen Mu, she saw Chen Mu staring blankly at her.

She didn’t know why.

Xu Hongyu’s heart suddenly calmed down, her eyes no longer dodging, and she said softly, "What are you looking at?"

Her voice seemed to have returned to its usual calm and cold tone, but the blush on her cheeks did not fade.

Chen Mu regained his senses.

Looking at the jade beauty who was close at hand, he did not take a further step, but gently picked up her two small hands, as warm as jade, and put them together in his hands in front of him: "The situation in Yuzhou Prefecture has changed, the Yu family will not hold a big wedding for our marriage, I think it is a bit unfair to you. If you want to, wait for two more years, I will lay down a ten-li red makeup for you."

Xu Hongyu paused slightly.

She stared fixedly at Chen Mu’s serious eyes in front of her.

She didn’t know why, but for a moment, she only felt countless joy and happiness surge up in her heart.

Chen Mu saw the corners of the jade beauty’s eyes gently curl up, as if hundreds of flowers suddenly bloomed in the icy and snowy world, revealing a smile that she may not have shown for more than ten years. It was hard to describe the beauty of this moment.

"I don’t want to."

She looked at Chen Mu and smiled sweetly.
