Chapter 28: identity
As if seeing her discomfort, the smile on Mu Yanze's face was even gentler, the aura emanating from his body was kind and honest, and even the shimmering light reflected in his pupils was self-contained and gentle.
He was like this, but it made Shu Xiaowu even more hairy. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he was uneasy and kind, right?
Seeing her increasingly frightened appearance, Mu Yanze looked away, held up the plain-colored porcelain cup and took a sip of tea. The clear tea that has been floated in hot boiling water has precipitated its most essential flavor, which is bitter but sweet and has an endless aftertaste.
"Does Xiaowu like the scenery here?" He missed the window and landed on her. His eyebrows became more peaceful. He really wanted her to relax.
Shu Xiaowu bit the corner of his mouth lightly and met his gaze. In the eyes of the other party, what she sees is the softest color, without any contempt or conflict. Under his gaze, she seems to be in a quiet space with him, without barriers, without obstacles, equal and free, even with him. The environment around the two also became bright and peaceful.
"I haven't carefully looked at the scenery here, and I don't really like it..." She hesitated for a long time before putting together such a sentence.
It's not that she can't see that the people in front of her are showing her favor on purpose, but she is in a weak position no matter what she says now. Maybe she can't say a word well, and she will bury her own drawbacks in her future life. In case she is considered to be a bad demon and will be imprisoned... She, she doesn't want this.
"I heard that you eat spirit fruit in the Demon Realm?" Mu Yanze still smiled. Now that she has spoken, there is a breakthrough.
But as soon as the words "Magic Domain" and "Spiritual Fruit" popped out, Shu Xiaowu's heart trembled carefully again. Being involved with the Demon Race is her biggest pain point. Carefully glanced at the face of the sect master, she was shaken in her heart, could it be that he came to Xing Shi to ask for guilt?
Mu Yanze's demeanor remained unchanged, but he raised his right hand and waved his sleeves. Several cyan fruits with full flesh and bright color appeared on the empty table between the two of them.
Looking at them, Shu Xiaowu's eyes widened immediately.
! Could it be that the immortal world wants to kill people, but they let the other party eat poisonous fruit but live? QAQ
But the moment her thoughts fell, she immediately swept it away.
If he really wanted to let her die, shouldn't he have done it a long time ago, and treated him with courtesy for such a long time, he is very idle? In addition, the head of Mu Yanze is a righteous and awe-inspiring gentleman. He will not be indiscriminate, and he will easily kill the demon without asking clearly about it?
As soon as the danger related to her own life dissipated, her mind unconsciously became active: Hey, just now, how did he take these things out?
Shu Xiaowu glanced at his cloud sleeves. Although it was wide enough, he didn't need to think about it to know that as the head of a faction, he would not stuff fruits into his sleeves at any time, and he was not a fruit thief
Then, so many fruits must have come out of some magic weapon on his body!
When she was with Gu Nao before, she had seen Gu Nao's Qiankun bag. It looked like an ordinary small bag, but the space inside it was not small. So he also has a Qiankun bag on him?
Mu Yanze observed the change in Shu Xiaowu's eyes, seeing her expression changed from astonishment to novelty, a rare burst of joy jumped in his heart, she should finally relax.
"This is the fruit of my spiritual tree, Xiaowu can taste it if he likes it." He immediately said when the iron was hot.
The spiritual fruit in front of him can be described as rare. In the Xuanqing Sect, there is only one spiritual tree, and the fruit that he bears every year is even more rare. The spiritual fruit that he brought out this time is the best gift selected by the disciples of the sect each year. And these words, he would not tell her, after all, a person who used to feed on spiritual fruit, while his identity is not simple, will not express rarity to spiritual fruit.
Even after asking Nao'er in detail about her situation, Mu Yanze had some researches on the growth of the Demon Realm Spirit Tree.
…Unfortunately, the current situation is beyond his expectations.
"What happened to Xiaowu?"
Seeing the little girl who had no desire for the rare spirit fruit in front of her, but stared at her sleeve abnormally, Mu Yanze asked hesitantly. He has found that he can't control her thoughts, even if her emotions are almost unobstructed, whether she is happy or unhappy, but he can't easily break through the sudden careful thoughts.
"You have the Qiankun bag in your hand? You took them out from the Qiankun bag?" She flashed a pair of bright eyes, pointed to the spiritual fruit on the table, then pointed to his sleeve, and then asked his words.
Not only whispering to her, but now blatantly bribing her with food, Shu Xiaowu has basically believed that he has no ill will towards him. That being the case, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to ask a further question, right?
Mu Yanze was stunned for a moment after hearing her ask this. After his expression recovered, he raised his hand to show her the object in his palm.
"This bracelet is based on the same principle as the Qiankun bag, and can hold a lot of things at the same time. Now, how about I give it to you?"
The bracelet on the palm of his hand is clear in color, delicate and transparent. Under the light, it becomes more and more crystal clear, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
Indeed, how can the items carried by the head of the generation be ordinary? The space inside this bracelet is not comparable to the ordinary universe bag. Even after putting the items in, it can not only maintain the freshness of the food and water sources, but also the vitality of plants. keep growing.
Shu Xiaowu stretched his neck to look at the bracelet in his hand, couldn't help biting his lower lip, after tangled in his heart, he decided to give up this beautiful bracelet.
"Thank you, I already have the bracelet, so I don't want it." She raised her hand, and her sleeve slid down with the movement, revealing her wrist and the attached jade bracelet. She arbitrarily shook the emerald jade bracelet that she had been wearing on her wrist, and while she was shaking, a gorgeous green shadow appeared on the bracelet.
She still liked the bracelet that Yu Shu finally gave her, and she didn't want another one to replace it. When it comes to Yu Shu, she still has guilt. She didn't even say hello to them when she ran, and she didn't know how he would feel when he found out. But...if she greeted them, she wouldn't even think about saying "goodbye" in a real sense.
Seeing the greenness on her wrist, Mu Yanze's eyes stopped suddenly, and his expression was rather uncertain. Although the bracelet looks ordinary at first glance, it is just a treasure with a little spiritual energy. In the world of self-cultivation, although such a magic weapon is not common, it is by no means unique. If he hadn't seen the green shadow emanating from it, he wouldn't even have observed it too much.
"Where did you get this bracelet from?" he said slowly, a little less soothing from his words. In this bracelet, there is a weak spiritual stone power.
"Ah?" Shu Xiaowu saw that his face suddenly changed, and after a while, he stammered: "This was given to me by someone in Moyu before, saying that it could protect me."
"Can you show it to me?" Mu Yanze realized his attitude and immediately returned to his previous softness. After she took off the bracelet uncertainly, gave it to him, and after a careful investigation, she did find a weak spiritual stone power, and even there seemed to be an abnormal field in it, so he couldn't figure out whether it was not at all. Elements, or their own abilities cannot be tested.
Shu Xiaowu couldn't find anything on his expression, so he could only wait for him to give himself an answer tremblingly. She only felt that she was involuntarily helpless now, and maybe she was about to take a wrong step and she would fall into a hole that she could not fill even if she wanted to.
Fortunately, he just looked at it and returned it.
"You can hold this bracelet. If it is in danger, it can also protect you." As she said, there is an invisible protective seal in this bracelet. If the wearer is severely injured, it will form a protective layer. As for the person who gave her this bracelet, Mu Yanze had already guessed it. Nao'er said that she was very close to Yu Shu, the Demon Lord, and Limo, the Demon Clan in the Demon Domain, so this bracelet was probably given to her by Yu Shu. her.
Then... the people from Moyu gave her such a treasure, are they really just protecting her?
Shu Xiaowu didn't notice the sudden deep expression of Mu Yanze's expression. When she heard that this bracelet could really protect herself, she happily brought it back to her wrist, looking at the clearer and warmer jade bracelet in the sunlight, She felt more peace of mind. Something that can protect her, she has to wear it well. Thinking about going out by herself in the future, there will be less worries, her name is 嘚Se!
Before her excitement had passed, Chad heard something that made her gasp.
"Xiaowu, do you want me to accept you as a disciple? In the future, in Xuanqing Sect, I will always protect you, and you don't need to be bound by the dogma of the sect, would you?"
When the pie falls, is it to pick up or not to pick up?
...but there is no reason to take it? Shu Xiaowu is not stupid, knowing that there is no free lunch in the world, let alone such unprovoked benefits.
"Why?" Why did you take her as a disciple, such a useless little grass demon, even without knowing her true identity, okay
"You have your differences, I believe in my own vision."
Shu Xiaowu couldn't help twitching at the corner of Shu Xiaowu's mouth when he saw the sect master with a face of immortality and seriousness talking nonsense so seriously. Could it be that she saw some hidden potential that she didn't even know about? However, a possibility suddenly flashed in her mind, and she choked up and explained repeatedly, "Before in Demon Realm, I told Gu Nao to bring me out, saying that I could predict the future... Actually, I lied to him."
That's just to deceive him, so you don't want to smash the pie all of a sudden just because of this fake reason, she really doesn't know anything wow
Shu Xiaowu's face was embarrassed, and he kept waving his hands.
"Xiaowu don't need to worry, I know about it." Seeing her pure and kind appearance written on her face, Mu Yanze smiled lightly, her face was light and calm.
Nao'er had mentioned the prophecy to him, but Nao'er's expression at that time was quite intriguing. Mu Yanze naturally knew the disciple who had taught him for so long. Nao'er's meaning was very clear. He suspected that the other party was trying to deceive him.
When Mu Yanze saw her for the first time, he had already dismissed this thought.
Perhaps it was because of what Nao'er said about the restraint on her body, and he couldn't see her prototype identity or distinguish her breath. At first glance, he would only think that she was an ordinary child who was still young, but as long as he visited deeply and searched carefully, he would be able to discover the difference between her and ordinary children.
It was an inherent breath, a breath different from them, but so weak that he almost thought it was an illusion.
And it was this breath that strengthened his intention to protect her.
The author has something to say: the male protagonist shows his face in two chapters, and it will take a few more chapters for the whole line to be on the line.
