Chapter Nineteenth Past Tense

  I took a look at Huang Shi-bo, and it seemed like he was preparing to fight without even talking. I furrowed my brow and looked at him, not saying much.

  After Mu Rong's physical strength had recovered a bit, he slowly got up and walked towards where I was.

  Although I don't know how formidable Huang Shi Bo is, the fact that Mu Rong Xing is being so cautious and careful in dealing with him means that this person is definitely not easy to mess with.

  "The husband you wanted is already gone. As for the way out, you can imagine going alone or with us accompanying you. As for whether you can get out alive, I don't dare guarantee that." I raised my head to look at Huang Shi Bo, and slightly curled up the corners of my mouth, putting the meteorite aside, indicating that I had no intention of taking action.

  Huang Shi Bo also didn't understand my meaning, he furrowed his brow and looked at me as if thinking of how to deal with me. Mu Rong walked over to the middle of Huang Shi Bo and I, cleared his throat and said: Whatever it is, let's talk it out properly.

  I raised my hands, indicating that Huang Shibo should also put down his weapon. Although Huang Shibo was somewhat reluctant, since I, a younger generation, had already done so, even if he was unwilling, it would be reasonable for him to put away his copper coins.

  I smiled easily, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. I pointed at Zhao Kuo's soul and asked Huang Shiwen in a tentative tone: How is Uncle Huang planning to deal with it? The younger generation would like to hear Uncle Huang's opinion.

  My approach was to kick a football to Huang Shi Bo, and this ball, he had to kick it out. He looked at Zhao Kuo's soul and took out a blank yellow talisman from his pocket.

  I can see what Huang Shibo is getting at, he wants to seal Zhao Kuo's soul. I've already promised Zhao Kuo that I'll give him his freedom, am I supposed to just stand by and watch as he gets caught now?

  I stepped forward and blocked Huang Shi-bo. Huang Shi-bo's face already showed signs of anger, I was about to open my mouth to speak when Zhao Fei-yu suddenly stood in front of me, grinning at Huang Shi-bo and said: "Uncle Huang, look, Xiao Lin has already agreed to let Zhao Kuo go, if you go up now and seal him off, where will Xiao Lin put his face?"

  Zhao Feiyu actually said everything I was thinking. After saying all this, Zhao Feiyu even deliberately squeezed a smile at me. I forced a smile back at Huang Shiwo, and when Zhao Feiyu saw that he had achieved the result he wanted, he continued: You see, Xiaolin has already become one with Fuyin. I know Jianghe wants Fuyin, but you can't take Xiaolin back and dissect him, can you? Even if you want to do this, there are so many people here who won't let you do it, right?

  Zhao Feiyu's nonsense is making me tired, I think Huang Shiwen shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to listen to nonsense either. Huang Shiwen frowned and said unpleasantly: You'd better get to the point.

  Zhao Feiyu pretended to have just reacted, patted his forehead and said with great regret: "Oh dear, oh dear. Look at me, I actually forgot about the important matter."

  After Zhao Feiyu finished speaking, I casually glanced at the formation where Mu Rong was previously. I took a glance and shouldn't there be only one person inside, Dong Qingzi? If I didn't see it wrong... when did it become two people inside?

  My eyes are blurry?

  "My focus is simple, you want the fetus. This is easy to say, I'll give you a little of Lin's blood, take it back and study it. As for the matter of going out as an offering, we will naturally have to trouble Uncle Huang with that." Zhao Feiyu tried his best to calm down his tone and show off his goofy side, which also helped to put Huang Shibo at ease.

  Huang Shi-bo looked at Zhao Fei-yu, his eyes filled with distrust. Huang Shi-bo had been facing away from the formation, so he couldn't see what was happening inside it at all. But I and Kong Yi could see clearly. Kong Yi calmly yawned and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand.

  Mu Rong Xing is also a seasoned actor. His facial expression didn't show any ripples, I was still watching Mu Rong Xing with an expressionless face, and also enjoying Zhao Fei Yu's crosstalk.

  Hwang Se-bok was extremely dissatisfied with the conditions set by Zhao Fei-yu. His goal was to get the husband and child, but in the end, he only got a little of my blood. Hwang Se-bok let out a cold laugh, continuing to play with his copper coins, saying in a threatening tone: It seems that you want me to reveal what happened at Hei Zhu Gou.

  As soon as I heard this, I was annoyed. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feiyu was even more annoyed than me. He pointed at the door and said in an even more threatening tone: Go ahead and talk, if you have the guts! What kind of person is this? Can't speak nicely, has to resort to violence. Let's go, Kong Yi, ignore him.

  Zhao Feiyu's acting skills are quite impressive. Mu Zhengxun glanced at his watch, and the time was approaching step by step. It won't be long before someone comes to take away the offerings. Even with Zhao Kuo here, this rule can't be changed.

  I couldn't help but glance over at the formation, and it seemed like there were more people inside. As I took a closer look, when I saw a familiar figure in the formation, I knew why Mu Zong Xing and Zhao Fei Yu had set up this formation earlier.

  Huang Shi-bo apparently didn't expect Zhao Fei-yu's temper to be so explosive. He was stunned, looking like he had nothing left to say, and Huang Shi-bo took another step forward towards Zhao Fei-yu's soul.

  "It can begin." Mu Rong's voice whispered in my ear, at that moment, only to see the array suddenly fly out countless talismans, those talismans were all rushing towards Huang Shi Bu.

  Those talismans wrapped around Huang Shi Bo's body from head to toe, and by the time he reacted, half of his body was already wrapped. In that instant, I saw a flash of panic in his eyes, but soon he calmed down again. When the talismans had completely wrapped Huang Shi Bo into a mummy, everyone else let out a sigh of relief.

  I walked up to Zhao Kuo and said to him: I've made a fool of you, now get out.

  Zhao Kuang looked at me and shook his head, saying: I don't want to go.

  I knew Zhao Kuo thought that guarding here was something he had to do, and if so, I didn't know how to persuade him either. I nodded at him in agreement with his approach, and then said: I'll be back.

  "Husband, you must come back. If you die, I will really have no face to see our ancestors in the underworld." Zhao Kuang looked at me and said with utmost seriousness.

  I really admire Zhao Kuo, he has his own faith and something he insists on. In the end, the hatred I insisted on was wrong after all?

  When Dai Suoyang walked out of the formation with Dong Qingzi, Zhao Feiyu sweetly called out "Sister". And my response to Dai Suoyang was just a cold stare.

  The name of the formation is called Concealment Formation, and its function is to conceal the traces of some people. Moreover, Zhao Feiyu had been attracting Huang Shiwo's attention all along, so it was also a lucky thing that they were able to launch a sneak attack successfully.

  Kong Yat looked at Dai Suo and seemed to want to ask something, but in the end he endured. In his own words, it would be more convenient to go back and ask Zhu Zhi.

  "It's been a long time." Mu Rong Xing said with a smile on his face when he saw Dai Su Yan.

  It was only then that I realized, among the people who came out of the formation, there was only one person, Dai Suo. People inside the formation couldn't hear what people outside the formation were saying. Dai Suo obviously wanted to avoid something.

  "Ever since you went to the rivers, we've rarely been able to meet. But this time, fortunately, you're here, otherwise Jianghe's plan to get Fu Yin's hand might have succeeded." Dai Suoyang said, looking at Huang Shibo who was wrapped in talismans like a mummy.

  Mu Rong shook his head and gazed deeply into my eyes, saying with deep emotion: I'm doing all this for Xiao Lin. There's no other thought in my mind...

  Mu Rong brought the topic to me, and Dai Su also focused her gaze on me. Dai Su suddenly let out a long sigh, then asked me: Xiao Lin, do you still hate your dad?

  I didn't answer, because the memory of Fūyīng appeared in my mind. Fūyīng was taken away by Mù Róng Xíng, and the reason why Mù Róng Xíng took such a great risk to take Fūyīng was to save me.

  I didn't answer, Dai Suo again let out a sigh and said in a somewhat helpless tone: Your dad did all this, first for the Ghost Building, second for you...

  "Let's not talk about this anymore. Some things are better left discussed between me and Xiaolin." Mu Rong interrupted Dai Suo's words abruptly.

  Dai Suoyang nodded and casually found an excuse to call away Kong Yi and Zhao Feiyu. For a moment, only I and Mu Zhenxing were left in this place.

  Mu Rong didn't say anything, he just fumbled out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his bag. He then searched all over himself for a long time but still couldn't find the lighter. In desperation, he walked to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "Who has a lighter?"

  One of the young men not only gave Mu Rong Xing a cigarette, but also brought him a Zippo lighter. After taking it in his hand, he skillfully lit it and squatted down to smoke on one side.

  Mu Rong didn't smoke, the cigarettes he always carried with him were just for building relationships with others in certain situations. He lit a cigarette and took a fierce puff, but ended up coughing it all out.

  I suddenly realized what it means by "hating iron for not becoming steel". His son smokes, but his son's father doesn't.

  I took a cigarette from his hand, lit it with ease and started smoking smoothly. Mu Zhongxing, however, had the cigarette clamped between his fingers, still burning tobacco.

  After I finished a cigarette, Mu Rong Xian finally looked at me and said slowly: Where do you want to know from?

  "My husband has some memories, I've seen them. I don't want to know the whole thing, I just want to know, when you killed me back then, were you acting or was it for my heart?"

  Mu Rong's expression clearly showed that he was stumped by the question. He scratched his head, looking quite helpless as he said: "I did what I did just to get your heart, of course saving you has been on my mind all along."
