Chapter 366 – Walking On Thin Ice! (1/2)

Chapter 366: Walking on thin ice!

“Are you going to marry the young miss of your family?” Cui Meng suddenly asked. The words were startling and could cause outrage.

“How is that possible?” Li Muyang had known he would ask such a question, so he didn't feel surprised at all. “The young miss of my family is beautiful like an angel, how can a cart driver wish to marry her?”

“But I just saw——”

“We are relatives.” Li Muyang continued to explain. “We have been playing together since young.”

“I see.” Cui Meng was suddenly in a cheerful mood. He could not marry the Miss of his family, but Li Mu also cannot marry the Miss of their family. The world is so fair and lovely. “I thought you were in love with your Miss. It frightened me to see you two holding hands——but our Miss won't be holding hands with other men, she does not even hold hands with her older brother.”

“The young miss of your family is too cold.”

“No. The young miss of our family is well educated and a model of propriety.”

Li Muyang smiled coldly, “You mean that the Miss of my family is not well educated and a model of propriety? Looks like I'm going have to ask the Miss of your family if she thinks the same thing about our Miss.”

Cui Meng looked terrified, jumped from the bed, crying: 'Li Mu, I did not mean that, I really did not mean that——I meant that our family's Miss is a graceful girl of n.o.ble birth, while your family's Miss is a pretty girl of humble birth. A graceful girl from a n.o.ble family has its own good, while a pretty girl from a humble family also has its own good. I also like your family's Miss, I think she is smart and cute, and also amiable, we all like Miss s.h.i.+nian very much——”

Li Muyang looked at Cui Meng, saying, “Is that so?”

“It is the truth.”

“Then I'll note this down for now. If you dare speak nonsense again, or say something that I don't like——I'll tell the two young Miss what you just said and ask them to judge.”

“I don't dare to, I don't dare to——” Cui Meng laughed foolishly.

Now that Li Muyang had taught Cui Meng a lesson, he did not have the interest to talk to him any more. He pulled the blanket and snuggled deep in the blanket on the small bed next to him.

Sniffing the heavy 'cattle do not gnaw' gra.s.s smell on him, Li Muyang felt kind of nauseated.

If he had known earlier, he would not have gone to the hot spring. The more he washed the dirtier he was, then it is better not to bath.

Then on another thought, it was better he went, otherwise there was no way he could save Cui Xiaoxin.

If Cui Xiaoxin had been killed by the a.s.sa.s.sin tonight and could not do anything, then he most likely would regret it his entire life?

With that thought, Li Muyang went to sleep peacefully.

Cui Meng secretly glanced at Li Muyang who was sleeping peacefully with half-shut eyes, then also closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Li Muyang was awakened by the strong light pouring through the window, opened his eyes to a bright light room that almost blinded him.

The heavy snow last night had stopped, leaving the White cloud mountain covered with snow, like an ethereal world of ice sculptures.

Cui Meng was soundly asleep, still making loud snoring sounds.

Li Muyang quietly got up, drew a tub of ice water to wash his face, and then stretched his body in the courtyard.

In order to conceal his ident.i.ty, he could not practice 'The art of the breaking body', or the 'Authentic Scripture of Pervading Mystery', but also could not practice his calligraphy and painting skills——a cart driver will not have so many skills.

Li Muyang walked a few laps around the courtyard when he saw a monk picking up a broom to clear the snow in the distance. Li Muyang also took a broom to help.

The two monks gave him a friendly smile, without saying anything, and the three people soon cleared the snow in the back courtyard.

The two monks evidently had some cultivation foundation, while clearing the snow their face was not red nor were they gasping for breath, and there was not a bead of sweat on their clear and smooth forehead.

Li Muyang, in order to perfect his disguise, deliberately wiped some snow on his forehead to melt into beads of sweat. “So tired after doing a little work, it seems that my body is getting worse.”

A little monk looked at Li Muyang's sallow face, saying: “Benefactor does not look too good, do you have an illness?”

“I have a bad liver.” Li Muyang said, clutching his chest.

“You should abstain from alcohol, drink as little as possible. And should pay attention to rest, you must not exhaust yourself.”

“Thank you, Master.” Li Muyang bowed his thanks.

“I am called Wuliang.” The enthusiastic monk smiled. “This is my Senior brother Wuyan.”

“Nice to meet you two.” Li Muyang bowed to Monk Wuyan.

Cui Xiaoxin was standing on a higher-level platform admiring the snowy landscape, and watching Li Muyang and the two monks sweeping the snow for a while. When Li Muyang looked, nodded at him, and then turned toward the front courtyard.

Li Muyang inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, while he was sweeping the snow he had already sensed that someone was watching him and had to pretend it was a strenuous job.

Waiting until Cui Xiaoxin quietly left without saying anything, Li Muyang felt somewhat disappointed.

Li s.h.i.+nian's eyes were indeed sharp, with one glimpse she had saw through his psychological changes at that moment.

He wanted to use his real ident.i.ty to see Cui Xiaoxin again, but in the face of reality he could only over up the truth.

“I can only conceal my ident.i.ty.” Li Muyang heavily breathed out a long sigh. Ever since he had stepped in to Tiandu, every step was as if walking on thin ice, extremely dangerous.
