Chapter 5 Mu Ziyun
Chapter 5 Mu Ziyun
Mu Ziyun is slightly older than Lin Xiaozhi. She is the young lady of the Mu family, a prominent family of alchemists in Yongning Prefecture. She is the only son in three generations and is truly the Mu family's greatest treasure.
Although she is a young lady from a family of alchemists, she has loved playing with weapons since childhood, wearing strange clothes that are neither male nor female, cockfighting, horse racing, drinking, flirting with girls, and causing trouble. Just before the new year, the Mu family used their connections to send her to become an apprentice disciple of a female swordsman in the Qishan Sword Sect.
Xiao Zhu sat with Luo Sifan and recounted Mu Ziyun's deeds in detail.
Luo Sifan's head was spinning. Was this woman just naturally inclined towards promiscuity? And her behavior was quite frivolous and unpredictable. Luo Sifan had always been a law-abiding citizen, so she probably wouldn't be able to deal with her!
Even so, we still have to meet.
"Xiao Zhu! Help me tie my hair up nicely," Luo Sifan instructed. Xiao Zhu was more than happy to oblige and grabbed a comb to come over.
With hair as black as clouds and skin as white as snow, Luo Sifan appeared in the garden, her long green dress swaying gently.
A strange young man, sitting by the lake with his legs crossed, drinking sullenly, stared in disbelief. A flat wine jug froze at his lips, motionless for a moment.
"Xiaozhi!" The young man suddenly woke up, threw down the wine pot, and rushed over, his long sword at his waist swaying so fast it seemed about to fly away.
Luo Sifan frowned. Although the young man's robe was deliberately a bit too loose, his waist and hips were the epitome of a woman's beauty. On his small, delicate, white fox-like face were willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a pretty nose, and a small mouth as red as a pearl.
“Xiaozhi…” Mu Ziyun stopped about ten feet in front of Luo Sifan, her soft chest heaving, her clear black and white eyes moist as she gazed at Luo Sifan, and walked closer step by step.
Luo Sifan stumbled, frowning and rubbing her forehead.
Mu Ziyun exclaimed in surprise and jumped over to support Luo Sifan.
"It's nothing serious, it's just a common dazed state after waking up from unconsciousness," Luo Sifan said softly, glancing at Mu Ziyun who was breathing beside him.
"Now I've lost most of my memory, and many things are like looking at flowers through the fog; I just can't remember them."
Luo Sifan sighed softly, her voice filled with sorrow and resentment.
"It's alright, it's alright, Xiaozhi, I will do my best to help you recover!"
Mu Ziyun murmured, hugging Luo Sifan even tighter, her eyes wide open, her breath wet, her rosy little face drawing ever closer…
A dignified immortal was forcibly kissed by a white fox-faced man who thought he was a man.
"Pah! Pah!" Luo Sifan pushed Mu Ziyun away, spitting and his face was red, purely out of anger.
Mu Ziyun was not ashamed at all; on the contrary, she was so proud that she chuckled.
"Xiaozhi! Do you remember? Two years ago, when I first forcibly kissed you, your reaction was exactly the same as today!"
Mu Ziyun stroked her face, lost in thought:
"Back then, the red mark you slapped on my face was fading away day by day, which made me so anxious that I wished I could be slapped by you every day to keep it!"
Luo Sifan secretly rolled her eyes, finally managing to spit out the fragrance from her mouth.
"Sorry! I can't remember anything at all!"
Luo Sifan turned and walked away with a cold expression.
"no!"
Mu Ziyun nervously stopped Luo Sifan.
"From this day forward, the elder sister will never leave her younger sister's side!"
"It's all the older sister's fault, causing her younger sister to suffer like this!"
Mu Ziyun was on the verge of tears: "That bitch from the Flower Moon Sect! She will definitely not let this go! I thought she was just saying that because she was upset about not being able to please me, but I never expected that she was so ruthless because she was jealous of my deep affection for my sister!"
Lin Xiaozhi's death was actually due to Mu Ziyun's romantic entanglements?
Luo Sifan struggled, but Mu Ziyun stubbornly tugged at her skirt sleeve and wouldn't let go.
"You really won't let me go?" Luo Sifan asked, frowning.
"I won't let go! I just won't let go! I won't let go of her for even a moment!"
With a thud, Mu Ziyun knelt down at Luo Sifan's feet, her white fox face looking up with a pitiful expression, ready to be disposed of at Luo Sifan's mercy.
"Enough! Get up!" Luo Sifan was speechless. If the elders of the Lin family saw this, who knows what gossip they would spread.
Mu Ziyun wiped away her tears, stood up, and smiled as she took Luo Sifan's arm.
"I know my sister cares about me!"
Luo Sifan, with a sour face, left the Lin residence with the two of them clinging to each other.
"What's going on with the Flower Moon Sect?" With no familiar faces on the street, Luo Sifan turned his head to stare at Mu Ziyun.
Mu Ziyun hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, and said stammeringly:
"You know Lingxiang Courtyard, Xiaozhi. Their top courtesan, Jiang Wansu, has been relentlessly pursuing me ever since! She even drugged me and tied me up! To escape, I had no choice but to use you as a shield! Enraged, she revealed that she was the Holy Maiden of the Flower Moon Sect and vowed to kill you, making me suffer for the rest of my life!"
"How long has this been going on?" Luo Sifan asked, glaring at Mu Ziyun.
"It's been more than half a year!" Mu Ziyun noticed Luo Sifan's expression was off and moved closer, waving her hand.
"Sister, how was I supposed to know she was serious?! When I received the news that you had suddenly been harmed, I immediately abandoned all my trial missions this year and rushed over from Qishan to see you!"
"I can't believe you're alive again! That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
Mu Ziyun, arm in arm with Luo Sifan, was crying and laughing at the same time, attracting the attention of passersby.
"Let's just let this matter go," Luo Sifan said coldly, pushing Mu Ziyun away a little.
"As punishment, I want you to take me to the Mu family to broaden my horizons!"
"Huh!? I snuck out to see you this time."
Mu Ziyun was taken aback and stopped: "If I go back to the Mu family, they will definitely take me back to Qishan."
"I don't care!" Luo Sifan declared, ignoring everything else. "Let's go to the Lin family's pharmacy and get something first!"
Mu Ziyun stamped her foot and caught up with Luo Sifan, saying, "Good sister, I'll listen to you. Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, with you by my side, I dare to venture in!"
Luo Sifan bought all the rotten Solomon's seal from the pharmacy and, together with Mu Ziyun, went to the Mu family compound in the east of Yongning Prefecture.
The towering green walls and mottled green grass seem to have a longer history than the Lin family's. The Yongning Prefecture government's fortified village is only a few hundred steps away.
The air faintly carried the familiar scents of alchemical furnace fire and roasted herbs that Luo Sifan knew so well.
Luo Sifan was greatly encouraged, and his fingers felt a little itchy.
"Miss!" An elderly man in short clothes, standing inside a small door beside the tightly closed vermilion gate, greeted Mu Ziyun with delight.
"Sixth Uncle!" Mu Ziyun pulled Luo Sifan over, full of heroic spirit.
"Are Sect Leader Mu and the others there?"
"Miss! Today is our sect's alchemy gathering. The sect leader and the former sect leader are both at the alchemy academy examining the disciples!"
Sixth Uncle looked Luo Sifan up and down with a grin.
"That's wonderful!" Mu Ziyun exclaimed happily without any attempt to hide her joy. "Come on! Follow me inside!"
Excitedly, he grabbed Luo Sifan, stepped through the small gate, and entered the quiet and secluded Mu family courtyard.
A huge screen wall with black tiles and white walls comes into view.
The words above seemed strangely familiar to Luo Sifan!
The four gilded characters, written in such hasty, almost flying strokes, are surely the handwriting of my past life.
Luo Sifan froze, trying hard to recall, but Mu Ziyun wouldn't budge.
That's right! Luo Sifan finally remembered that when he broke through to the sixth level of alchemy in his previous life, he was in a great mood and did write these four characters in his study. Then he casually crumpled them up and threw them into the waste paper basket!
After all, Luo Sifan didn't really think her handwriting was that good.
Now it has been engraved in large characters and inscribed on the screen wall, so that everyone who passes by must look up and comment on it.
Luo Sifan clenched his fists, sensing the strangeness of fate.
