"Ouch, man,... It's chilly. I never took a shower that night." Mu Chen Xiao said the next day while holding onto his shoulders which felt cold after he had soaked in the herbal pond overnight.
Mu Chen Xiao who was currently walking in the front yard of Jinya residence, looked towards everyone who was currently tidying up their ruined residence four days ago.
After Hao Shu regained consciousness, they immediately rushed over to clean up all the mess that was there. Judging from their expressions right now, they did not seem to hold grudges against anyone who had made them difficult. They also did not think about who had attacked them and could still laugh even though the atmosphere was not good.
"People here are too friendly. Doesn't it matter if they continue like this? Could be, their place would be a corpse field." Mu Chen Xiao muttered while staring around.
"Xiao Xiao!" Shouted a man who was currently running behind him and directly pounced on Mu Chen Xiao to make him fall.
Mu Chen Xiao felt his body shaken to the point that he slammed forward as soon as this fellow crashed into him. ”Why every second I'm always unlucky?” inner Mu Chen Xiao while holding the body of a man who had befallen him.
The person who was currently begging him, felt very surprised and immediately stood back up as he said, "Sorry! I didn't mean it!" He said awkwardly and with great guilt.
Mu Chen Xiao sat back down and looked at Zhang Xiuzhen who had previously hit him to the point of slamming him forward. "Can His Majesty not do something like that? I almost lost all my memories." He said as he folded his hands and looked in astonishment at Zhang Xiuzhen.
"M~ sorry. I was too happy when I heard that Xiao Xiao had regained consciousness. So, I ran to see you." Said Zhang Xiuzhen while showing his teary-looking eyeballs.
Mu Chen Xiao was stunned and noticed Zhang Xiuzhen's very different nature to the other noble families. He was not ashamed to apologize first and he looked very grateful when he got help from others even though that person was a bad person who did not have a home.
”It was so weird. Aren't nobles, usually arrogant towards the common people? Why is it so easy for him to be so compassionate and apologize first as if he did not think about his current position?” inner Mu Chen Xiao continued to pay attention. "... Its alright. Then, what about the young man you called Lian Luo yesterday?" Asked Mu Chen Xiao back.
Zhang Xiuzhen was stunned and immediately sat back before Mu Chen Xiao. He fell silent as he kept looking at her before he finally replied, "He is the son of the Emperor's advisor who was ordered to take care of me. I'm sorry that yesterday she hurt you to make you like this." He said while slightly bowing his head before him so that it made Mu Chen Xiao feel awkward.
"Y~ Your Majesty need not be as low as that. I'm doing fine. If Lian Luo does this to protect His Majesty, I don't mind if it gets this way." Said Mu Chen Xiao who felt awkward when he saw Zhang Xiuzhen humbling before him
"But, is it really okay if you get like this? Moreover, he drenched the venom of Youdu's spider in his arrows." Said Zhang Xiuzhen who was trying to worry about him.
”It turns out he is more different from the other noble nobles.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who felt astonished by Zhang Xiuzhen's uncharacteristic demeanor. "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about me. I'm fine now. After all, Xu-Jie had taken good care of me and that man yesterday had already given me the medicine to cure her."
Zhang Xiuzhen looked at him confusedly and asked, "What is a criminal doing that for? Do you not suspect at all that it is poison?"
"I checked it out. This is a pill made from red ginseng and the blood of a newborn baby. Although it's a bit creepy but, this pill is great for curing any disease." It was clearly Mu Chen Xiao that made Zhang Xiuzhen even more confused with him.
"Hmm? I don't quite understand. But, it's good that you're cured even though the criminal gave you the antidote."
A formless black shadow emerged from behind the wall of a room next to it. It is the spirit of the mountains of Lun Quo that always hide behind the shadows and it is the embodiment of the verse that is hated by everyone.
"Sister Xiao! Thank goodness yesterday I was just in time to take you to where Xun Ji'an is." Said Lun Quo who was now behind Mu Chen Xiao.
Mu Chen Xiao looked back and he was stunned when he saw Lun Quo behind him, "Oh, Lun Quo! So, you were the one who confused me yesterday?" Asked Mu Chen Xiao who was reminded of yesterday's incident.
"A few days ago, Xu Wuya was too busy so, I took care of you during your illness. Then, after I saw Brother Xiao regain consciousness, I immediately brought you to the herb pond because you were also exposed to the spider poison Youdu." It was clearly Lun Quo that made Mu Chen Xiao stunned to hear him.
"Xiao Xiao's! Is he also a mountain spirit?" Zhang Xiuzhen asked who looked puzzled by the existence of Lun Quo before him.
While looking at him Mu Chen Xiao replied, "He's a mountain spirit that saved you back then. He said that he saw you fighting a woman in your residence."
Zhang Xiuzhen looked surprised when he heard that. He looked down directly at Lun Quo as a thank you for saving him. "Thank you for saving me yesterday." Speak with a low tone.
”People like him, it's easy to thank and humble like this. However, it feels like I have met someone who has an inverted nature with him.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao suddenly remembered Zhao Wei Lu who had a firm and irritable nature.
"Xiao 'er! Hao Shu wants to talk to you now." Said Zhao Bingyan who came from behind along with Hao Shu who was now standing next to him.
”....”
”It is better to just run away from this place.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who immediately took a thousand steps to leave Hao Shu who was walking towards him. Then, there was the sound of screaming, ”BOCAH TO LOL! BACK HERE!” which emerged from Hao Shu's big mouth that was getting irritated at him.
”Rather than me getting a hard slap, I better get out of here!” inner Mu Chen Xiao continued to run away from where he was before and he finally stopped when someone had pulled the collar behind his clothes.
Eve of immense and black spiritual power. I hope he's nobody and just my feelings.
Mu Chen Xiao turned his head towards someone who was now next to him. And he saw a pair of wide black wings that were very similar to the wings of a crow and they were commonly found around burial mounds that were everywhere. This person, definitely he was Xu Wuya who seemed to be very angry towards Mu Chen Xiao for having ignored Hao Shu when he was wanting to talk to him.
A few moments later,...
"Thank you Xu Wuya for herding this child before me." Said the current Hao Shu still standing at the same spot and was giving a cold look at Mu Chen Xiao who was trying to ignore him.
Xu Wuya was expressionless and said nothing as Hao Shu thanked him. He went straight from that place to a place without leaving any words for them.
”It is rare that I see the spirit of a talking crow even though Hao Shu had already praised him.” Inner Zhao Bingyan while watching Xu Wuya who walked away from them.
"Mu Chen Xiao! Why were you trying to get away from me when there was something I wanted to tell you." Said Hao Shu who did not also release his attention from Mu Chen Xiao's face which continued to be distracted. However, he did not reply and remained in the same position.
As it continued to ignore Hao Shu who was talking to him, Zhao Bingyan placed her palm on Mu Chen Xiao's shoulder making him shocked when he felt it.
"What's wrong? You got a problem?" Asked Zhao Bingyan who was trying to ask him.

Mu Chen Xiao who was surprised by the monitor screen that suddenly appeared before him, immediately tried to slap him however, his hand instead pierced through the monitor screen so that he could not do what he wanted. ”Gob System Block!”
"I just don't want to talk. Seeing Xu-Jie's terrible air, maybe that's what kept me quiet." Mu Chen Xiao replied a moment later.
Hearing that made Zhao Bingyan feel a little relieved and was finally able to raise her hand back from above Mu Chen Xiao's shoulders for worrying too much about him. "... Since you're fine, maybe Hao Shu can say what he wants to say to you." Zhao Bingyan said once more.
Mu Chen Xiao was stunned and immediately turned his head towards Hao Shu with an astonished and strange look at him. ”What does this got rat want to tell me? Does he want to eat me?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who was looking at him in wonder. "... Ah-it. But, my meat is not good to eat right now." Said Mu Chen Xiao who immediately suspected him as a man-eater.
"You're stupid since when? I just wanted to say thank you for helping me yesterday." Said Hao Shu who looked a little embarrassed when he said that.
Mu Chen Xiao was surprised when he heard it and immediately looked at him with both eyes that looked widened. "... Eh? Did you say that? I didn't hear it so much." Said Mu Chen Xiao who pretended not to hear it.
"I won't repeat it again." Hao Shu replied which made Mu Chen Xiao go silent for a moment. "... Instead, from tomorrow I will be your teacher. So, you better prepare yourself from now on."
"Teacher? Ah, can I also be your student?" Zhang Xiuzhen asked who was currently talking to Hao Shu.
"How can I teach you? Aren't you the Emperor's son?" Hao Shu asked who realized Zhang Xiuzhen's current position was as crown prince and successor of the kingdom.
"The Emperor's Majesty allows me to study with anyone as long as I grow stronger to become the next leader. So, accept me as your disciple!" Zhang Xiuzhen said as he knelt before Hao Shu.
"I don't know if I can take care of two disciples at once." Hao Shu muttered which immediately glanced towards Zhao Bingyan for him to give her a little help.
Zhao Bingyan slightly laughed and replied, "Secte Hua Jian is no longer accepting disciples. I guess, there will be some people studying outside the Sect."
"Huh? So I've been banished from the Sect?!" Said Mu Chen Xiao who was surprised after hearing him speak.
Zhao Bingyan showed her gentle expression again and stroked Mu Chen Xiao's head as she said, "Not as a disciple but, as another meaning."
”Hah? The other meaning? Whatdoes thatmean? Why lately, his brain always turns like this?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who felt astonished when he saw Zhao Bingyan who always spoke strangely to him.
Since Zhao Bingyan refused to help him, Hao Shu rubbed the space between his eyebrows and replied resignedly, "Alright. Now I can't be picky here. From tomorrow, you meet me wherever I am."
”What does it mean?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who felt strange by what Hao Shu said.
[[Get Hao Shu's attention]

”That's definitely the starting point for breaking through the next section. As long as I'm here, the system will only give me C points. Does that mean I have to be careful in this place?”
