Chapter 14: We Must Present a United Front!
“Present a united front…”
Hearing Mu Zhi’an’s words, Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then her beautiful eyes lit up with a few hints of brightness.
If they could first present a united front and deal with the black-robed man… during this period, the Bai family could take a breather.
Although it was treating the symptoms and not the root cause, what the current Bai family needed was precisely this breath to gasp for air.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruoxi’s gaze towards Mu Zhi’an suddenly gained a few degrees of complexity.
In the end, he still decided to help… Even though he wasn’t given anything, in the end, Mu Zhi’an still decided to help the Bai family.
“…Thank you.” Bai Ruoxi raised her eyelids and said reservedly, her tone carrying undisguised gratitude.
In a moment, after Wei Mengrou performed psychological suggestion on the servants and several maids in the courtyard, she came to Mu Zhi’an’s side.
“Thank you for your hard work, Sister Mengrou.” Mu Zhi’an smiled.
Wei Mengrou coldly answered, “Since you know, don’t cause trouble for me.”
As she spoke, her eyes softened a few degrees and her tone changed, “However, you did well this time.”
She originally thought that Mu Zhi’an, who was obsessed with beauties, was probably hopeless in this life. She didn’t expect him to change so much during this period.
Mu Zhi’an lightly shook his head and said, “In that kind of situation, anyone would have stopped it.”
“Young Master Mu is being too modest. If it was just an ordinary tyrant oppressing a common woman, perhaps someone would stop it,” Bai Ruoxi said softly, “but the other party was Gongsun Zan.”
The Gongsun family was a hegemon of Tianxuan City. Even if one saw Gongsun Zan oppressing a common woman, not many people dared to stop him.
The weak were worried about being retaliated against afterwards, and the strong didn’t want to become enemies with the Gongsun family over such a small matter.
This time, the one who stopped Gongsun Zan had to be none other than Mu Zhi’an.
“What do you plan to do next?” Wei Mengrou looked at Mu Zhi’an and asked softly.
“It’s still that same phrase.”
Mu Zhi’an raised his head to look at Wei Mengrou and revealed a gentle smile, “First, let the bullets fly for a while.”
…
Ye Yu was anxiously waiting at the door, like an ant on a hot pan.
He had been waiting outside the residence since earlier. He wanted to rush into the residence several times midway, but he was worried that entering the residence at this time would cause some unnecessary conflicts.
Although his talent had returned now, he was still only at the Qi Refinement stage after all. Although with his current cards, he could barely fight even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he ultimately shouldn’t reveal his edge too early.
It was precisely because he was tangled up in such matters that he didn’t enter the residence until now and was waiting at the door for his childhood sweetheart to come out.
However, it had been nearly half an hour since earlier, and his patience was being drained bit by bit. He was already hesitating whether he should forcibly break through the guards at the door and go in to see the situation inside.
Just at this moment, the main gate of the residence was suddenly opened by someone.
Ye Yu’s eyes lit up. He raised his head to look and saw Bai Ruoxi, wearing a white low-cut long dress, walking out of the residence gracefully with her skirt lifted.
Her snow-white skin was dyed with a layer of warm luster under the sunlight. Her bosom proudly propped up the fabric. Her waterfall-like black hair naturally fell to her buttocks, simply tied up with a jade hairpin. Her peerless beautiful face carried a hint of coldness, possessing the aura of a classical beauty.
Ye Yu couldn’t help but become a bit entranced.
It had to be said that she was indeed the number one beauty of Tianxuan City. No matter when one looked at this face, it was nearly flawless to the point of being impeccable, making one feel a bit intoxicated at first glance. No wonder the Mu Zhi’an of the past was so infatuated.
“Ruoxi, how are things inside now?” Ye Yu immediately asked.
Bai Ruoxi glanced at him and said softly, “There was a bit of an accident. You should go back today.”
“What about you?” Ye Yu subconsciously asked.
“I also need to return to the Bai family first.” Bai Ruoxi said.
She had to return to the Bai family first and explain this matter to her mother… Of course, she would explain according to what Mu Zhi’an had just said.
It wasn’t Mu Zhi’an who killed Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan was killed by a mysterious black-robed man later… This would be the script from now on.
On the other hand, hearing Bai Ruoxi’s answer, Ye Yu also felt a bit relieved in his heart.
As long as she wasn’t together with Mu Zhi’an, he could accept it.
“If I was also in the Mu family, I would have been the one to take action today.” Ye Yu said with a hint of regret in his tone.
Bai Ruoxi glanced at Ye Yu and didn’t make a sound.
If Ye Yu was in the Mu family’s position, he might not have dared to make a move against Gongsun Zan either.
Because no matter what, this was a matter that was unfavorable to himself. The reason for doing this was simply because for Mu Zhi’an, the value of humanity was more important than the benefits that could be seen in front of him.
As a mature adult, doing this might be irrational and even a bit impulsive… However, this impulsiveness was precisely the most attractive point.
“I’ll send you back, Ruoxi.” Seeing that Bai Ruoxi was about to leave, Ye Yu hurriedly stepped forward.
“No need. I just want to be alone and quiet for a while now.” Bai Ruoxi coldly refused.
Ye Yu was a bit disappointed and said, “Alright then… Be careful on the way back.”
Bai Ruoxi lightly “mm”ed and continued waiting outside the residence.
Ye Yu glanced at Bai Ruoxi. His mouth slightly opened, seeming to want to say something.
But thinking of Bai Ruoxi’s cold attitude, he eventually sighed in frustration and silently left.
Not long after Ye Yu left, Bai Ruoxi was still staring at the main gate of the residence.
Only after waiting for a while longer and seeing Mu Zhi’an walking out of the residence did she step forward and say, “Young Master Mu, are you going back?”
Mu Zhi’an lightly “mm”ed.
“The way back happens to be on the same route. If you don’t mind, can you accompany Ruoxi for a bit more?”
Mu Zhi’an glanced at Bai Ruoxi. Because he was standing on the steps, plus Bai Ruoxi was wearing a low-cut long dress, naturally, when looking down from above, he could see a different scenery than usual.
In fact, Mu Zhi’an’s good mood today had already been ruined by Gongsun Zan. He had no mood to chat with someone now.
But unfortunately… they were really too big.
Mu Zhi’an was deeply attracted.
After gazing into Bai Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes for a moment, Mu Zhi’an nodded with a smile, “Alright.”
This kind of human heart was already so big that it was hard to refuse.
