Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1188 A Family of Three: Smart People

What is a romantic relationship?

First meeting, second meeting, both times I was captivated!

Whether a passerby or a regular visitor, none have regrets.

"Devoted and without regret" perfectly describes Mu Qingxue's feelings for Shen Yichen.

On this stormy night, Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue did not sleep either, not only because they did not want to sleep, but also because their room was full of people.

Mu Qingxue, like a lovesick girl, rested her chin on her hands and quietly looked at Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen was a little flustered. He looked really nervous, and there was no way around it; everyone in the room was focused on him.

Mu Yulou and the young Taoist boy leaned against the window.

Xiao Youxin sat on the edge of the bed, with Tianshui heroine Jiang Mengyin beside her.

The masked man stood behind Mu Qingxue.

Jian Chenqing and Mu Qingxue sat on either side of Shen Yichen.

And there was Ji Xuanren, leaning alone against the doorway.

Everyone had only one goal: to stop Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue from their trip to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion the next day.

After Mu Qingxue sent a message to Luowu, the atmosphere of the entire Luowu Ancient City changed. The Wanmo Sect had sent back news that each of the nine palaces outside the Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion was heavily guarded.

On the bright side, this is the Lord of Luowu making preparations in advance to guard against any changes tomorrow.

But what if we think the worst?

If the Lord of Luowu harbors ill intentions, and Shen Yichen and the others enter the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion tomorrow, no one will be able to save Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue. How could they possibly handle all the guards of Luowu Ancient City!

The layout of Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion is somewhat like catching a turtle in a jar!

Mu Qingxue was quite amusing. Before, she had been very determined to go to Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion, but tonight she completely handed over the decision-making power to Shen Yichen.

Mu Qingxue seemed to care about nothing, but in reality, she was testing Shen Yichen's sincerity towards her!

"What are you thinking? Your henchman isn't coming. Whether he's male or female, he's not in a position to get involved in tomorrow's events!"

Mu Qingxue had really hit the nail on the head when it came to Shen Yichen's thoughts; Shen Yichen was indeed thinking about Yixuan at that moment.

Shen Yichen did not get the result he wanted regarding the Xianzhong Tower incident, and he felt somewhat guilty.

What Shen Yichen actually felt more guilty about was that he was afraid he would give up again. Along the way, Yixuan had gone to great lengths to ignite his fighting spirit, and he had promised Yixuan and himself that he would face all difficulties head-on.

But now?

He was going to be that pawn escaping the chessboard again, but Shen Yichen's retreat was not about not going to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion, but about leaving after the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion, leaving Luowu Ancient City, leaving Mu Qingxue, leaving everyone.

The identity of the chosen one is far more complex than it appears on the surface, and it is not just empty talk. Shen Yichen realized that with his current cultivation level and state of mind, he was simply unable to cope. If things continued like this, he would transfer the danger to those around him.

In reality, Shen Yichen's biggest worry didn't come from the Yanquan Jianghu, but from the Ji family. There were too many Ji family members in Luowu Ancient City, and Shen Yichen's worries lingered.

"Oh my, the Ji family and the Wanmo Sect are in the same room discussing the same thing, how wonderful! Qingxue, I don't have a good opinion of your relationship!"

Jiang Mengyin looked relaxed, twirling a flute in her hand and lightly tapping her feet on the bed.

"Senior, can you tell me about my mother?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Chenqing slapped her forehead. She was truly speechless. Shen Yichen knew nothing, yet dared to ask anything.

"Oh dear, you're really putting me in a difficult position. Shen Surong is known as the most talented woman in the ancient Miao region, so how did she give birth to such an idiot son like you! Tell me, should I say good things about her or bad things about her?"

Shen Yichen was naturally a little confused. He looked at Mu Qingxue, who shook her head.

Shen Yichen could only look at Jian Chenqing.

Jian Chenqing also shook her head and sighed:

"Where in this world is there a pure land? Shen Surong married into the Ji family, and in a sense, she is the enemy of the entire Ancient Miao Region. She betrayed the Ancient Miao Region. You should be grateful that Lady Jiang didn't kill you!"

"That's right, the day Qingxue stops loving you, I'll be the first to kill you!"

Jiang Mengyin was clearly lying. From beginning to end, Shen Yichen never sensed any killing intent. In fact, there was a hint of admiration in Jiang Mengyin's gaze!

Shen Yichen said something very strange:

“My mother is a smart woman, my father is a smart woman, and I am a smart woman too!”

Jian Chenqing sighed softly:

"Smart people? Hmph, the world of immortals and heroes has no shortage of smart people!"

"Yichen, have you made up your mind? Are you going to Fulong Cave Pavilion tomorrow?"

Mu Qingxue only cared about this. In reality, no matter what Shen Yichen chose, she would go tomorrow to see her mother's portrait.

"Qingxue, of course we're going, but let's just go, just the two of us!"

This is Shen Yichen's thought; whether it's right or wrong is unknown, it's just his true inner thought.

"How could that be? Sister Qing has to go. Your matter must be resolved tomorrow. Don't think I don't know that you went to see the Lord of Hanshan You to ask how to leave Luowu Ancient City quietly, right? You can leave, but you must leave me with a child!"

"Sister Xue, your children must be intelligent too!"

While both were sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Youxin wasn't as relaxed as Jiang Mengyin, because Jiang Mengyin seemed to be intentionally getting close to him.

In the world of fantasy and martial arts, most people are unfamiliar with the ancient Miao region, and even Youxin is no exception.

Being wary of the people from the ancient Miao region is the right thing to do, and it will never be wrong!

"Qingxue, is what we're doing really appropriate?"

Shen Yichen did not deny it. Mu Qingxue saw through his thoughts, and he was not surprised at all.

"What, you slept with me and now you don't want to take responsibility? We're destined never to kneel before our parents again. Before the portraits of your mother and my mother, we made love. Don't you think it's a match made in heaven? After tomorrow, our relationship will be recognized by our parents, and they won't be able to object!"

Mu Qingxue has a lot of hidden thoughts, which Shen Yichen never thought of.

"Qingxue is right. The Lord of Luowu's heavy defenses are actually protecting you from the Ji family and the Jianghu people of Yanquan. As for whether the Lord of Luowu will take action, I don't know!"

Jian Chenqing also believed that Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion was a good place for Shen Yichen to activate the power of Bloodline, at least the Ji family and the Jianghu people of Yanquan would not interfere.

"Sister Qing, you've changed. Why aren't you shy at all anymore?"

Mu Qingxue was teasing Jian Chenqing, saying that Jian Chenqing should also participate in tomorrow's events. Mu Qingxue noticed that Jian Chenqing's attitude had really changed, and she didn't even seem to be refusing at all.

"I'm a smart man too. Since I can't change it, I'll move forward and see what the end looks like!"

These were Jian Chenqing's true feelings. Since Murong Lubo wanted her to have a relationship with Shen Yichen so much, she simply went along with Murong Lubo's wishes.

Murong Lubo is also a smart man, but he is also an extremely shameless one. Now that Jian Chenqing still has the opportunity to make her own choice, she doesn't want to wait until the day when she has no choice.

There must be Murong Lubo's people in Luowu Ancient City, and they are watching her all the time. Jian Chenqing is very certain of this!

"Qingxue, I still disagree with this!"

The masked man knew that this would always be his attitude; he came to Luowu to protect Mu Qingxue.

“Uncle, Bone Tomb has already acknowledged me. From now on, I will be in charge of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. For a thousand years, neither Bone Tomb nor Father has been able to resolve the conflict between good and evil or the crisis facing the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. This proves that your ideas are wrong!”

Mu Qingxue spoke very bluntly, without holding back any face.

"But, but if you die, what can you change?"

"Uncle, I've said it before, as long as the chosen one doesn't die, I won't die. I believe in him, and I believe in destiny!"

Throughout the entire process, Mu Qingxue's gaze never left Shen Yichen.

"It's getting late, you should all go. Tomorrow, Qingxue and I will go to the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. As for you, you can decide for yourselves!"

Shen Yichen got up and walked to the window. Mu Yulou and the young Taoist boy stepped aside. The two of them hadn't said a word from beginning to end; they were determined to follow Mu Qingxue.

"Where are you going? There are men and women, old and young here. How are we supposed to sleep in three guest rooms? Don't do anything outrageous tonight. I'm just a little monk and I can hardly stand it!"

After Xiaoyou finished speaking, she lay down on the bed.

The adults in the room all felt awkward!

However, to be fair, Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue have really gone too far lately!

"Oh dear, Qingxue, you... you didn't sleep with him a long time ago, did you?"

Jiang Mengyin sat down at the table and stared intently at Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue felt shy and inexplicably flustered, her face turning bright red.

"Sister Yin, someone as smart as me shouldn't miss out on a good man!"

Shen Yichen, who was standing by the window, couldn't bear to listen any longer. He leaped out and ran towards the restaurant across the street.

Shen Yichen saw two familiar faces, two very strange ones!

Mu Qingxue got up to chase after him, but was stopped by the masked man.

"Qingxue, those two people are here looking for her!"

The masked man was pointing at Jian Chenqing.

Jian Chenqing, her face frosty, pulled Mu Qingxue into the inner room.

"Qingxue, let's sleep together tonight, and I'll teach you some secret techniques!"

Jian Chenqing slammed the door shut, leaving Jiang Mengyin feeling utterly rejected.

What are those two up to?

Jiang Mengyin was somewhat angry, but she chose to go to the restaurant across the street, where there was someone she actually knew.

The two people raising their glasses to drink across the street were Jian Bujian and the shortest saint who had saved Shen Yichen and his companions.

"Greetings, my esteemed seniors!"

"What do you mean 'unharmed'? That shorty is clearly sick!"

Shen Yichen and Jiang Mengyin sat at the table at the same time.
