C1628 He's My Partner
Mu Qingying's face was pale, she was resisting, but Mu Xiao kept using his strength and pushed her out of the corner, his body pressing hard against her body.
"What should I do?" Mu Qingying struggled in her heart, but she was truly at a loss of what to do at this moment. She simply had no feelings for Mu Xiao, but since the other party could help her refine equipment, if she did not have Mu Xiao to concoct Imperial Artifact during Artifact Refining Competition, she would have lost all her face.
"How dare you." Just at this moment, an explosive shout pierced through the air, causing Mu Xiao's body to feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He quickly retreated, and raised his head to look in the direction of the sky in shock.
Mu Qingying's body also trembled, his figure flickered, he suddenly escaped the room, raised his head and looked at the night sky, there was no one there, no one knew where this voice came from.
"Qing Ying, who is it?" Mu Xiao's figure flickered, and he similarly arrived outside, staring at the sky.
"I don't know." Mu Qingying shook her head slightly. The cold night wind blew, causing Mu Qingying to sober up a little, and tidied up her messy clothes. She looked at Mu Xiao and said: "Mu Xiao, I will pretend that nothing happened tonight, you will still cooperate with me in refining, I won't blame you for your impulsiveness, but if you continue to take advantage of me like this, I would rather not participate in the Artifact Refining Competition anymore."
Mu Qingying was not a foolish person, she naturally understood why Mu Xiao dared to rely on her, and was undoubtedly refining Imperial Artifact s for her. However, that loud shout just now made her understand, letting her use her body to trade, in exchange for the appearance of her Artifact Refining Competition, she was willing to give up.
's expression dimmed when he heard Mu Qingying's words, and he lowered his head, his expression extremely gloomy. He knew that even though Mu Qingying had said those words, she had actually given up on participating in the Artifact Refining Competition, and wasn't willing to let him succeed.
"Lin Feng, it must be Lin Feng." Mu Xiao's expression was ice-cold, revealing a hint of killing intent, but when he looked up, everything was crystal clear, and he said to Mu Qingying: "Miss Qingying, this subordinate has been delusional, and from now on, this subordinate guarantees that nothing similar will happen to you. I will only peacefully stay by Miss's side, and be loyal to Miss."
As a guard of the Mu Residence, he knew what to say. Since Mu Qingying had already laid out his cards with him, if he did not know how to advance and retreat, he would definitely let himself die a miserable death. Now, he could only rely on himself to work hard and fight for the opportunity to conquer this woman in front of him in the future.
"Go rest. In the future, you are not allowed to enter my room without my permission." Mu Qingying said coldly.
"Yes, miss." Mu Xiao retreated with a bow and returned to his room, closing the door behind him. After that, he placed his hand in front of his nose and took a deep breath, as though he still missed that incomparably soft sensation from before, but his eyes were extremely cold. He was just a bit away from conquering the woman he longed for in his dreams.
The truth was just as Mu Xiao had guessed, the explosive shout just now was indeed made by him. The current him and Mu Linxue were still outside the courtyard, and had never returned to their room.
Mu Qingying looked in her direction and then returned to her room. She did not know who shouted loudly, but she guessed that it was Lin Feng, but she did not understand what Lin Feng meant.
"Ai, Qing Ying is too impulsive." Mu Linxue sighed softly and said, "Not bad, you actually guessed that Mu Xiao would still go against Qing Ying."
Lin Feng laughed and did not reply. Up till today, the storm he had experienced was something that Mu Linxue and Mu Qingying could not imagine, since Mu Xiao had all sorts of actions that he had done before, he definitely wanted to make a move against Mu Qingying. That was why he reminded Mu Linxue that day and asked her to pass on the message to Mu Qingying.
"Did you do that before?" Mu Linxue said while laughing.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes, stared at Mu Linxue, and laughed: "Do you believe that I would do it to you?"
This time, it was Mu Linxue's turn to freeze, but she quickly smiled and said: "If you do that to me, maybe I will be the same as Qing Ying and not resist."
"Eh!" Lin Feng looked at the smile of the beauty in front of him and smiled bitterly. This woman is extremely cold to others, but after getting to know her well, she would actually dare to joke around with you.
"But thank you." Mu Linxue laughed when he saw Lin Feng's somewhat embarrassed expression.
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders, he did not care at all. Although he did not like Mu Qingying, he did not have any hatred towards her, at most, he was just a normal passerby. If it were not for Mu Linxue, he might not even remind Mu Qingying that everything was her own choice.
"It's a good thing she woke up. Otherwise, no one would be able to help her." Mu Linxue was a little glad that Mu Qingying had chosen to give up his Artifact Refining Competition in the end rather than letting Mu Xiao succeed in it. If Mu Qingying still viewed her Artifact Refining Competition as heavier than her own body, then whether it was her or Lin Feng, it would be useless helping her. It was just as Lin Feng had thought, it was her own choice, so regardless of whether it was right or wrong, she had to bear it herself.
In the next few days, Mu Xiao did his part, he and Mu Qingying started sprinting and the two of them refined yet another Imperial Artifact, which caused a few ripples. As for Lin Feng and Lin Feng, they were very relaxed, did not spend any time on refining, and just chatted, or basked in the sun, or fell asleep.
The day of Artifact Refining Competition finally arrived. On this day, at the top of the Mu palace, a tide of people surged. In the courtyard Mu Linxue resided in, Mu Linxue walked out from the room, saw Lin Feng who was currently lying on a wooden chair with his eyes closed, recuperating, and laughed: "Lin Feng, the Mu Estate is summoning everyone, let's go."
"Am I going too?" asked Mu Linxue. Even though he had already stayed in the Mu Manor for a very long time, he had always stayed at Mu Qingying's and Mu Linxue's side, so towards the people of the Mu Estate, he was actually very unfamiliar and practically did not recognize them. Of course, very few people in the Mu Estate knew of his existence.
"Of course, this time, the Mu Clan has decided on the person who will be participating in the Artifact Refining Competition and we are tied up together. So of course you have to go." Mu Linxue said with a smile.
Lin Feng rubbed his forehead, and laughed bitterly as he stood up. It seemed like he was being scrutinized by the people again, he was very clear, with Mu Linxue's special position in the Mu Clan, to suddenly think of him as Mu Linxue's partner, coupled with Mu Linxue's artifact forging, he would undoubtedly become the focus of the crowd, and would be unavoidable.
"Looks like I have to brace myself and go." Lin Feng said indifferently.
"You've been hiding behind the scenes for so long. It's time for you to go out for a walk. Thank you for your hard work." Mu Linxue laughed gently. Although Lin Feng was so strong in the Array Dao, he had always helped her without anyone noticing. In fact, no one even knew of Lin Feng's existence.
"I'd rather stay behind the scenes." Mu Qingying and Mu Xiao were currently behind them, and the two of them were also preparing to go to the Mu Manor to gather their Martial Arts Arena.2
"Sister Lin Xue." Mu Qingying shouted. He turned around and smiled at Mu Qingying, saying: "Qingying, let's go together."
"Right." Mu Qingying was somewhat guilty towards the events of that day. Although Mu Linxue did do it for her own good, her attitude was truly a little too vile.
"Sister Lin Xue, what's wrong with him?" Mu Qingying glanced at Lin Feng, wanting to ask why Lin Feng was following them.
"He's my partner, so of course he's going." Mu Linxue said while smiling. Today, at noon, the Artifact Refining Competition will officially start, so she no longer needed to hide Lin Feng. Before this, she did not reveal herself to Lin Feng, because there were some people in the Mu Estate who had ill intents.
"He's your partner?" Mu Qingying's expression froze. Mu Linxue, want Lin Feng to be her partner?
"Right." Mu Linxue nodded her head, which made a lot of thoughts appear in Mu Qingying's mind. Who was Mu Linxue, a genius of the Mu Clan, an outstanding artificer, a very strong attainments in Array Dao, of course, no one would think that Mu Linxue was stupid. What did it mean for Mu Linxue to choose Lin Feng as a partner? As long as she thought about it, she would be able to understand that this meant that the cooperation between Mu Linxue and herself was much stronger than her own.
"How can this be!" Mu Qingying muttered in his heart, wasn't Lin Feng's array formation very weak?
Thinking about how Mu Qingying was looking at Mu Xiao, Mu Xiao's expression turned a little evasive, as if she was intentionally avoiding his gaze, causing Mu Qingying's heart to slightly tremble. But at this time, she tactfully shut her mouth and did not ask any further, she felt that if she continued to ask, it was very likely that her collaboration with Mu Xiao would disintegrate, and today was the day the Artifact Refining Competition was held. No matter what, it would have to wait until today before deciding.
"How could that be? Could it be that Lin Feng's Array Dao is even stronger than Mu Xiao's? Then …" That day, when Mu Xiao ignited the array talisman, she saw a pleasant surprise. However, in the following period of time, Mu Xiao did not surpass his previous state, could it be, that it was not the array talisman that was carved by Mu Xiao?
