Chapter 443: The Sword God Square! (1/2)

“Anyway, I think he has no chance.” Yan Xiangma stated. “I don't know what kind of luck he's got to have severely wounded the G.o.d of Sword of West Wind Mu Yubai. However, I suspect that there were masters of the Lu household to help him. The old Grandfather of the Lu family was stationed in the frontier for a long time. He has hundreds of generals under his command, and millions of soldiers. And I heard that he has 'Three souls and seven spirits'. Those 10 people are his core group of guards. No one has ever seen them, but every one of them is unfathomable and powerful, and are rare masters of this world.”

“If these people had helped out, then Li Muyang's victory against Mu Yubai makes sense. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing by simply cultivating for one year? Even if he went to Starry Sky Academy, even if Starry Sky Academy is as mysterious and remarkable as they say, and can turn rock into gold, it will still take time, right? Mu Dingyi's strength is far beyond his son Mu Yubai. There is hardly any chance for Li Muyang to win against him.”

“You really know how to comfort people.” Cui Xiaoxin said in a disgruntled tone.

“So you will give up.” Yan Xiangma laughed.

“A woman gives up not because she can't get it, but because she can't love it.” Cui Xiaoxin's heart writhed with sorrow. “Did you really bet on Mu Dingyi to win?”

“Of course. We are brothers but money is money. I can't lose a good brother and then lose another 100,000 gold coins. That would to adding insult to injury, sprinkling salt on my wound—-” Yan Xiangma said firmly.

“——–”

“Since you don't want to go, then let's leave.” Yan Xiangma said aloud. “If we stay any longer, he will get suspicious.”

“Let's go.” Cui Xiaoxin uttered, looking through the crevices of the window towards the door of the Lu residence, where Li Muyang was still standing there waving.

“Li Muyang, take care.” Cui Xiaoxin said softly in her mind.

“Let's go.” Yan Xiangma said to the driver in front. “Back to the Cui residence.”

“Yes, young master.” The driver responded.

Watching the carriage disappear, Li Muyang felt a disappointed and frustrated feeling.

“Xiangma, goodbye.”

“And Xiaoxin—-I hope we will see each other again.””

His parents and sister had left, and Yan Xiangma was gone. Now he was all alone, waiting for the great battle tomorrow to come.

Li Muyang turned back into the small courtyard, the door of the Lu residence slammed shut behind him, producing a heavy thud.

Miraculously, the wind had stopped and so did the snow.

The snow, which lasted nearly one month, came to a halt without any warning, although the capital was still blanketed in thick snow throughout and the whole world was wrapped in silver and white, like a world of ice crystals.

Creak—–

Li Muyang pushed open the door of the living room, and found that led by Jing'er, Zhaihua, Chuyao, Tingxue, and Xiyu were all waiting by the door. They were silent and even cautious with the sound of their breathing for fear of interrupting Li Muyang's rest.

Sat on a chair in the living room, Gongsun Yu saw that Li Muyang had awakened, hurriedly greeted him with a smile. “Muyang woke up? Did you sleep all right last night?”

“Very good sleep.” Li Muyang replied. “Aunt Gongsun, why are you here so early?”

Gongsun Yu's face was haggard, heart heavy, but still forced a wide smile, “Today is an important day for Muyang, so I told them to come over to help Muyang get ready, for the whole Tiandu to see my—–to see Muyang's graceful bearing.”

“Thank you, Aunt Gongsun.” Li Muyang said gratefully, “I can do these things myself. When I was in Starry sky, I did everything by myself.”

“Young Master, let the maidservants do it. This is our job, and we are a little more skillful than you are.” Jing'er added. “We wanted to serve you but were afraid we would disturb your practice. It's rare to have a chance today, please give the maidservants a chance.” “”

Without allowing any words, the several servants crowded around Li Muyang and escorted him back to the room.

When Li Muyang came back out the room, the whole living room seemed to have lit up. Even the gloomy sky outside was much brighter that before.

His hair had been combed, and a white crane jade crown was tied to the top of his head.

He was clad in a brand-new plain white robe, the fabric was soft, the cutting fitted him well, and was clearly the work of a master.

His waist was tied with a dragon belt, making his figure look slender and tall.

Elegant, confident and extraordinary.

“Madam, the clothes really fit Young Master Muyang well.” Jing'er complimented.

“Muyang—” Gongsun Yu stepped forward to hold Li Muyang's hand in a firm grip, as though Li Muyang would disappear from her if she loosened her hand. “You have to come back alive.”

Before she could reunite with her biological son she had to watch him go into battle, watch him throw away his life—-this was too cruel for a mother.

“Aunt Gongsun, I will certainly come back safely.” Affected by this parting mood, and looking at Gongsun Yu's teary red eyes, Li Muyang's mood was similarly upset. He had to say that ever since coming to Tiandu. Gongsun Yu and Lu Qingming were extremely protective of him and treated him like their own son. Li Muyang was very grateful to them, but also had completely considered himself as a part of the Lu family. “You have to take care.”

“Muyang——”
