I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 664 Tang Qin: "Does Mr. Mu like me?"

"Auntie!"

When Li Ling'er heard the voice, her body trembled slightly and she turned and rushed to the door.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhang Hanrui hugged Li Linger into his arms, then looked at Su Yuwei and the other girls who were hurriedly walking over, and his frown relaxed.

Mu Zhen and his men also came over one after another. Mo Wuyan from Sheniu was the first to test the waters.

"The girl from the Zhang family?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hanrui patted the shoulders of the delicate figure in his arms, then bowed to Mo Wuyan and said,

"Han Rui greets the great master and all the seniors."

Mo Wuyan waved his hand. He was only a senior in terms of age, and was even lower than Zhang Hanrui in terms of seniority.

The junior uncle of the Zongheng family opposite him was of the same generation as his master. He casually bowed in return and asked,

"What's the situation outside now?"

Zhang Hanrui frowned, took a deep breath, and then slowly said,

"The turmoil at the venue has subsided, but there is one thing I need to confirm with my senior..."

"What's the matter?" This time, it was Mu Zhen who answered. He seemed to realize something and his expression became a little serious.

Zhang Hanrui pursed her thin lips hidden under her veil and said word by word,

"Seven days ago, the royal family issued a Junshan Order to each family. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Mo Wuyan obviously hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. He turned to look at the Mo family elders behind him and asked in confusion,

"Elder Tian?"

The elder surnamed Tian's face changed and he was speechless for a long time.

"What is the Junshan Order?"

At this time, Li Mu asked using ventriloquism. He instinctively felt that the Junshan Order seemed to be able to solve his previous doubts.

Zhang Hanrui glanced at him but did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze to Shan Yuan beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said coldly,

"Are you injured?"

Hearing this, Shan Yuan showed his excitement without hiding it, and bowed to Zhang Hanrui and said,

"Aunt, I'm fine, I..."

"The Junshan Order is a token of the royal family's call to the Hundred Families. Only those who have reached the level of the Confucian Master are qualified to receive this order."

Mu Zhen obviously couldn't bear to see his beloved disciple suffer a loss, so when Zhang Hanrui didn't respond, he personally answered the question.

"The last time the royal family issued a sovereign order was during the previous dynasty's chaos."

"Convoy?" Li Mu frowned and asked tentatively.

"In other words, the top fighters from each family have now entered the palace?"

"Have you thought of it?" Zhang Hanrui had no intention of paying attention to Li Mu, but when she heard this, she spoke subconsciously.

Li Mu glanced at her and ignored her just like she did before.

Zhang Hanrui felt her heart tighten. Why did the man in front of her look so much like her little man?

However, this feeling was only fleeting.

She was still very confident about some things, especially about her little man.

Not to mention that the other person was just wearing a mask, even if he turned into ashes, she could still recognize him by his smell from a hundred meters away.

Mo Wuyan was obviously impatient. Seeing that no one was talking, he asked directly,

"What do you mean? The royal family wants to gather hundreds of families to deal with that Fangji family? Why don't you say something? Why do you all have such expressions, old man Mu!"

Behind him, Father Xu patted him on the shoulder gently and shook his head silently.

Although he didn't understand it either, he just didn't ask, which made him seem unfathomable.

Seeing that everyone basically understood the current situation, Zhang Hanrui had no intention of explaining any further.

He reached out and grabbed Li Linger's wrist, whispering,

"Let's go back to Linglong Waterside Pavilion first. Xiao Mengmeng and the others have already gone back to pack their things. We will leave the capital today."

"Clean up?" Li Ling'er was stunned for a moment, with confusion on her face.

Are they leaving?

But she hadn't even met Li Mu yet, and she just left like that?

Mu Zhen subconsciously glanced at Li Mu, thought about it, but still didn't speak.

Li Mu understood what Mu Zhen meant, and pretended to be a martial arts fanatic who didn't care about anything else. He bowed and said,

"Uncle, now that the summit is over, I will return to the Saint's Residence!"

Mu Zhen nodded. He naturally understood what Li Mu meant.

This Mu Li’s account will be temporarily offline.

Who would have thought that at this moment, it was Shan Yuan who called out to Li Mu, and said sincerely,

"Brother Mu Li, it may be difficult for you to travel alone in the current situation. It is better for you to stay in the capital for a while so that you can take care of each other."

"No need for that. Today I have seen that there are always people who are better than you. When I have improved, I will definitely ask Taoist Shanyuan for advice again."

After saying that, Li Mu left quickly without looking back.

Hearing this, Shan Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. He felt like a hero admiring another hero towards Mu Li.

...

Li Mu did not leave directly. Not long after he left the council hall, he spread hidden true energy around his body and returned.

Li Mu had doubts before. Even if all the people in the hall were killed, if hundreds of families rebelled, how could the royal family resist?

However, if all the top combat forces of the hundred families were trapped in the great formation of the imperial palace, the situation would be different.

Without these absolutely top checks and balances, ordinary masters are still not enough in front of the army.

After hesitating for a while, Li Mu decided to secretly escort Su Yuwei and the others back home first, and then go to the palace to find out what happened.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that the first person to arrive would be Tang Qin.

"Are you looking for me?"

Under the eaves, Li Mu withdrew his concealing Qi and appeared behind the girl.

Tang Qin was obviously startled. She turned around hurriedly and took a few steps back before nodding and saying,

"Yes, yes, Master Mu is going back to the Saint Residence?"

"What do you want from me?" Li Mu was not in the mood to greet Tang Qin at the moment, so he went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Tang Qin was a little surprised, but in order not to be too sentimental, she still mustered up the courage to ask,

"Why did Master Mu want to save me?"

?

Li Mu didn't expect Tang Qin to catch up with him just to ask this question.

He frowned and thought for a moment, but he couldn't explain it for a while.

Is it a sense of justice? A guilty conscience? Or is it simply because the other person is a beautiful girl?

Maybe both, maybe neither.

Although Li Mu gave himself the reason at that time that the other party was Sister Ning'er's friend and he should lend a helping hand.

But afterwards, Li Mu did not think that this was a reason for him to save people.

At that time, Li Mu was in a dilemma.

That was the time when he felt most guilty towards those who died in vain because of his momentary lapse of judgment.

Tang Qin happened to appear at that time, and her action was more like a compensation for her guilt.

At first, he hesitated for just a moment, and then the hall was already littered with corpses.

So when he heard Tang Qin's voice, Li Mu didn't want to weigh the pros and cons too much. Since he could save her, he would save her, that's all.

Seeing that Li Mu remained silent for a long time, Tang Qin thought that he was too embarrassed to speak, so she bit her lips lightly and said directly,

"Does Master Mu like me?"

"Huh?" Li Mu, who was feeling a little sad, was also stunned by this question.

Tang Qin thought she was right and lowered her head slightly. After a moment, she raised her head again and looked at Li Mu seriously, saying firmly,

"Master Mu, I have been so kind to you that I have no way to repay you, but I will always respond to your orders. Only, only..."

"Miss Tang, I think you are..."

Before Li Mu could utter the word "misunderstanding", Tang Qin clenched his fists tightly, as if he had used up all his strength, and said,

"I already have someone in my heart, Master Mu, I'm sorry!"

"I will never fall in love with another man in my life. If Mr. Mu has any grievances, you can take back my life."
