Chapter 30 The Amazing Girls
Covering the mouth of the cult leader Nan Sheng tightly, Li Muyang explained in a flustered manner, "Don't do anything rash! Most people now believe that your mother faked her death back then, not that she came back to life! These two things are not the same! It would be troublesome if word got out!"
"Right now, only Pavilion Master Liu, Yuxiu, Ling'er, and Young Master Cui know about this! Master Cui and the others don't know either!"
With Li Muyang forcibly covering her mouth, Nan Sheng was initially quite flustered. A man and a woman alone together—would this bastard be planning something...? *cough cough* As expected, Young Master Li is a refined and elegant person! So that's what he was worried about!
However, their current posture is indeed a bit ambiguous. When Li Muyang reached out to cover her mouth, Nan Sheng involuntarily stepped back. Li Muyang was afraid that she would bump into the wall, so he used his other hand to block the back of Nan Sheng's head.
Simply put, with one hand covering her mouth and the other holding Nan Sheng's head, their faces inevitably drew close! The originally dim moonlight now felt inexplicably bright!
A blush rose on the leader's face as she looked at Li Muyang's face, which, while not stunningly beautiful, was quite pleasing to the eye, and coupled with his gentle demeanor, she couldn't help but feel shy.
Li Muyang, however, didn't notice—well, he really didn't notice. He'd never been in a relationship! He didn't have any female friends either. Plus, he was in a hurry to expose Nan Ying's resurrection, so what mind did he have to observe the cult leader's expression? He also didn't notice that the two of them were in a rather ambiguous position.
Just kidding! I'm talking to you about serious matters! You're still talking about love and romance? Are you even a decent person?!
Unfortunately, nothing like the welcome scene of other people suddenly appearing to disturb us didn't happen.
Because the two of them had given instructions to others before they came out.
Only after making sure Nan Sheng had calmed down did Li Muyang release her hand, without any hesitation, quite decisively, leaving the sect leader Nan Sheng momentarily stunned... He... he just let go like that?
Why don't you take this opportunity to do something? Like, maybe rob me of my virtue? Or even just flirt with me! Do you think I have no charm at all? I'm the most beautiful woman in Tianya Haige after the Pavilion Master!
Hmm, are girls really such strange creatures? When you want to do something, she won't let you, but when you let go, she feels ignored!
Li Muyang was completely unaware of Nan Sheng's ulterior motives and was still earnestly instructing her, "Remember! Sister Nan Ying faked her death! Don't bring up the topic of her resurrection again! To avoid giving ourselves away!"
“I understand…” Nan Sheng had a slightly resentful expression on her face.
Li Muyang [?_??]: "What happened to Leader Nansheng?"
"Ahem, it's nothing!" Nan Sheng coughed lightly, only then realizing that she had lost her composure. To ease the awkwardness, she smiled and said, "Young Master Li, you are my mother's benefactor, so please don't call me Sect Leader. Just call me Nan Sheng!"
“Then don’t call me Young Master anymore! Li Muyang! Muyang is fine too! Young Master sounds weird.” Li Muyang also said politely.
Nan Sheng's mischievous side instantly kicked in: "I saw Yu Xiu calling you Young Master Li, so why doesn't it seem strange? Is it someone... Oh ho ho... Ah!"
She had just chuckled a few times when Li Muyang struck her forehead with two fingers: "What nonsense are you thinking? Yuxiu used to call me Muyang, but after I decided to help her and rescue Ling'er from Lu You not long ago, she started calling me Brother Li. She still calls me Young Master occasionally though."
"It feels really strange to have someone I've just met call me 'Young Master.' But once we get to know each other, it doesn't feel strange no matter what they call me. I even call my friends 'father and son'."
Nan Sheng chuckled and moved closer to Li Muyang, one finger poking her chin, her eyes sparkling with amusement: "Oh~ does Young Master Li mean~ we're not very familiar yet~"
Li Muyang looked completely bewildered: "Isn't this our first meeting today? Have we met before?"
Nan Sheng felt a sudden wave of helplessness. "Holy crap! I, the leader, personally flirted with you! And this is your reaction? Turns out you're a standard straight man! Trying to charm a blind man—you're just being presumptuous!"
It was just a prank, but it's backfired and fueled the competitive spirit of Sect Leader Nan Sheng! She's a respected sect leader in the martial arts world! The men who pursue her could line up all the way to the Southern Frontier! And there's still a man she can't seduce?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You little punk! Trying to play hard to get with me, is that it?
Li Muyang (′-i_-｀): What's this silly girl doing? Why is she being so coy?
I think it's just wishful thinking on my part!
Hmm... Maybe it's because, in Li Muyang's eyes, Nan Sheng is still just a little sister? At most, she's just a cute little sister.
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er are only 16 years old, which is like being a minor in Li Muyang's eyes, even though he is 20! So he treats them with the same doting affection he would show to his younger sisters.
Nan Sheng looked a little older than the two of them, but only by a year or two, at most 18. A normal man wouldn't have any improper thoughts, right? With the cult leader's rather plain physique… cough cough, besides, this was their first meeting! Stop being so narcissistic!
You've broken the law, you know that? Three years minimum, death penalty maximum! Stop thinking about such serious punishments! Want to be a cellmate with some Dragon King?
As we all know, there are three great illusions in life: your phone vibrates, someone knocks on the door, and someone likes you.
Li Muyang is not a narcissistic man; he considers himself a very self-disciplined person!
Actually, it's just a lack of self-confidence and a very cautious and timid mindset.
However, Li Muyang overlooked one problem: this world is set in an ancient martial arts world, so girls get married quite early. Even someone like Bai Muzhen, the pinnacle of the martial arts world, is already married and has children. Her daughter is already 16 years old!
From a modern perspective, Liu Ruyan is a sophisticated and elegant woman, a compassionate bodhisattva! But in the eyes of ancient people, she was just an older single woman! Keep in mind that she and Bai Muzhen were the same age! It's only because their elders are no longer around that they faced a lot of pressure to get married.
In other words, Pavilion Master Liu has someone she loves, and her heart belongs only to Shen Feiyan. She is oblivious to all the sycophants in the pavilion, let alone those outside the pavilion, who are countless in number.
So, the serious Li Muyang gave Nan Sheng a few earnest instructions, and the two returned to their room.
Okay, that's it!
He gave Nan Sheng no chance whatsoever. It was late at night, and the two of them, a man and a woman alone, were likely to cause misunderstandings if they stayed together too long! As a young lady, he shouldn't cause gossip for her.
Even when Nan Sheng tried to go to Li Muyang's room, she was directly refused.
As soon as he got back to his room, Li Muyang hugged Xiaobai and fell asleep immediately. Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy!
Hiding on the rooftop, Nan Sheng listened to the snoring and fell into silence. Should she go back? Or should she just go back to sleep?
Forget it, let's go to sleep. I'm sleepy too, listening to his snoring. We can talk about it tomorrow!
I was planning to do something else, but he's completely unresponsive! I initially thought he was playing hard to get, but now I'm sure he's a genuinely straight man!
Hopeless!
The next morning, Li Muyang was woken up early by Xiaobai's antics; it sounded quite lively outside.
Bai Yuxiu, Feng Ling'er, and Nan Sheng are ready to set off for the next map location.
No wonder no one disturbed Li Muyang and Nan Sheng's private chat last night. It turns out that Master Cui summoned Bai Yuxiu and told her that her mother, Bai Muzhen, had appeared in the Southern Frontier region a year ago. Therefore, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er decided to set off this morning.
Nan Sheng agreed to Liu Ruyan's mission. Southern Xinjiang was the territory of her Hundred Flowers Sect, and she was responsible for protecting Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er.
In fact, Liu Ruyan knew that Bai Muzhen was not in the Southern Frontier, and the two even had a way to contact each other. However, Bai Muzhen's condition was not good at the moment. If Bai Yuxiu were to appear, it would be even more difficult for her to protect Yuxiu while remaining unscathed.
In addition to the inner demons associated with Yu Xiu's Wuxiang Gong, it's best to be cautious and go to the Southern Frontier first to find someone who can help resolve the shortcomings of Wuxiang Gong.
That is, her great-aunt, Bai Yue.
Liu Ruyan didn't tell anyone about these things, and Nan Sheng didn't know either. She was just following orders and visiting her mother at the same time. The only one who knew was Li Muyang, but he didn't find out through Liu Ruyan's channels. They were just cooperating and pretending to be ignorant.
"Brother Li, are you coming to Southern Xinjiang with us?" Bai Yuxiu stared at Li Muyang expectantly, her meaning clear.
Judging from that look in his eyes, even if he said no, Li Muyang would just laugh and say, "Of course I'll go with you! I also need to go to Southern Xinjiang to talk to Sister Nan Ying's teacher. He Sui, the master of the thousand fingers, lives in seclusion in Southern Xinjiang, and there are many questions I'd like to ask him!"
Li Muyang is studying the martial arts system of this world, trying to integrate it with the cultivation system of his own world, taking the essence and discarding the dross. This is why he is reluctant to break through to the Mahayana stage. Otherwise, he would have broken through to the Grandmaster stage long ago! He wouldn't have felt as frustrated as when he fought Lu You before.
Having the means is useless; the main concern is that they might not be able to control the power and end up killing Lu You.
He's still in the Great Ascension stage of martial arts, which is fine now. But if there's a problem, Li Muyang's current cultivation level is enough to cripple his own martial arts, but breaking through to the Grandmaster level will be quite difficult! He'll definitely suffer a severe backlash then.
This requires the help of a senior expert who is skilled in medicine, powerful, and knows how to teach disciples. Nan Ying's medical skills are passable, and her teaching level is also barely acceptable, but her strength is a bit weak, and she doesn't have a deep understanding of the higher realms.
Standing beside Li Muyang, Nan Ying remained gentle and virtuous. Wherever her young master went, she would follow. How could she not be happy to see her teacher? And with her daughter accompanying her! Southern Xinjiang was her hometown, and she wanted to go back and visit!
"Oh, right, Yuxiu, your great-aunt Bai Yue is also living in seclusion in the Southern Frontier. Even if you don't see your mother on this trip, you can still go to Bai Yue for help in resolving your Wuxiang Gong problem!" Li Muyang reminded her, remembering this matter.
"Really?" Bai Yuxiu was already very happy to hear that Li Muyang was going to come along, and when she heard that her great-aunt was also in Southern Xinjiang, she looked forward to the upcoming trip even more!
At this moment, Young Master Cui arrived with his pageboy Mo Yun. After persuading his father for a long time, he finally managed to get him released from home! Together they headed to the Southern Frontier!
The main characters are all here, the map is refreshed!
