The red plum blossom pupils that had become much darker due to pollution seemed to be getting darker and darker, but the owner of the pupils quickly looked away.

"Forget it, my hall master will go by himself, Liyue's laws will not let those rumormongers go."

The girl's figure quickly walked away from Mu Xian, and Mu Xian couldn't help sniffing.

Apart from the faint sandalwood from the bracelet, there is no other smell.

Not far away, Zhongli glanced at Mu Xian, turned around and walked into the courtyard without saying anything else.

Mu Xian didn't go in, and quickly disappeared in place.

It didn't take long for those people in the yard who were slandering and besieging Hutao to come out of the yard, and scattered towards the surroundings as if they had seen a ghost.

Mu Xian walked out from the corner, among these scattered people, Mu Xian quickly saw the Qianyan Army.

Compared with the others, that person left quickly, as if he wanted to leave here in a hurry.

Following the man's twists and turns in the street, he soon reached the direction of the pier.

Looking at that look, the man was about to leave Liyue Port from the direction of the Golden House.

Mu Xian, who realized this situation, lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes flickering on and off, and then, as if he had made a decision, he continued to approach the Qianyan Army.

"that..."

The voice came from behind, causing Mu Xian to pause, but he quickly recovered.

He continued to walk forward, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of Mu Xian and stopped him directly.

Looking past the figure, the Qianyan army in the distance disappeared around a corner.

Some irritability arose in my heart, and then I looked at the person blocking me in front of me.

Yun Jin, the voice behind her was also from her.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xian's tone was not very good, perhaps because of the missing Qianyan Army.

Yun Jin didn't seem to think of Mu Xian's tone. She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled politely.

"I met the young gentleman by chance, so I wanted to have a chat with him."

After saying this, Yun Jin looked back and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhongli is not accompanying the young gentleman."

"What do I want him to do?"

Perhaps it was because of the snacks yesterday that Mu Xian rarely spoke to Yun Jin.

But after saying this, Mu Xian was about to turn around and leave, but his right hand was suddenly grabbed.

His body suddenly stiffened, and then he turned to look at Yun Jin, his eyes inexplicable, and the bracelet on his forearm trembled again.

The look in Mu Xian's eyes brought Yun Jin back to her senses, realizing that the previous subconscious action made Mu Xian a little unhappy.

"Sorry." Yun Jin slowly let go of Mu Xian's hand, but she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Have you eaten, Mr. Xiao? If not, I will invite Mr. Xiao to try the craftsmanship of Wanmintang."

"Yunjin, I can't eat well by myself, so let me treat Mr. Xiao to dinner, and Mr. Xiao will chat with me."

Yun Jin's words didn't move Mu Xian at all, he was about to refuse, but a voice was faster than himself.

"Wanmintang... I'm going too, just to thank Xiangling for the meal she sent me a few days ago."

The voice was lively and delicate, and Mu Xian quickly guessed the owner of the voice.

For some reason, Hu Tao suddenly stood next to Mu Xian, separated by a certain distance, without the usual movements that made Mu Xian impatient.

Inexplicably, Mu Xian felt the peace that he had not seen for a long time, as if... he had returned to the leylines.

Chapter 29 ~ The Disgusting Thing~

Mu Xian lowered his eyes and followed the two girls quietly.

Looking up at Hu Tao slightly, the girl kept chattering.

Perhaps because Hu Tao was talking to Yun Jin, the inexplicable tranquility was not suddenly destroyed.

Following the crowd, Mu Xian soon arrived at Wanmin Hall and ate quietly in the corner.

There was no figure of the girl in Mu Xian's memory in the restaurant, but Mu Xian didn't care too much.

It wasn't until Yun Jin left Wanmin Hall and said goodbye to Hu Tao that the peaceful feeling slowly faded away.

"You can stay with me this time, Hu Tao."

When Hu Tao spoke, her voice was very calm, not as lively as when she was facing Jin Yun.

Mu Xian looked at Hu Tao and thought for a while before realizing what Hu Tao was talking about.

Nodding in a daze, Hu Tao led Mu Xian to the Yujing Terrace, the two of them didn't say anything along the way.

They stayed silent like this. Before they reached Yujing Terrace, Hu Tao's footsteps stopped.

Looking up, he saw a red figure walking down the stone steps.

That figure looked familiar to Mu Xian. When he saw the person clearly, Mu Xian thought about leaving.

But in the end, Mu Xian did not leave, but moved his body behind Hu Tao, deliberately reducing his presence.

"My hall master guesses that you are Liyue's top legal consultant, Yan Fei, right?"

As the voice came out, Yan Fei stared blankly at the girl in front of her.

"Huh? I am, may I ask who you are?"

"My name is Hu Tao, the No. 70 Seventh Generation Hall Master of the Past Life Hall. Today I want to consult some questions about Liyue's laws."

"Legal advice?"

The word "Law" lifted Yan Fei's spirits, and even the depression that was suppressed in her heart dissipated a lot.

"Commercial disputes, civil mediation, criminal litigation, whatever you want to consult, it doesn't matter, I'm proficient in everything."

"That, of course, is the rumor that is circulating in Liyue now, and this rumor has caused a lot of damage to the Hall of Rebirth."

"I think I've heard rumors. I thought it was just a personal reputation loss, but I didn't expect that it has already caused financial losses."

"That's right, that's the economic loss, and it also caused a great psychological shadow on Walnut..."

"Spreading false information in Liyue, causing damage to the reputation and psychology of others, and causing economic losses through improper means in business, well... it seems that it is not just the "Liyue Business Code" that is involved."

...

While chatting, the two little girls finally felt that their legs were sore from standing, so they found a place to sit down.

Yan Fei sat down, only then did she see a boy following Hu Tao.

Out of politeness, he glanced at Mu Xian for a while, but when he saw that face, he suddenly froze, and the excited expression on his face suddenly froze.

"Mu... Mu Xian?"

As he muttered, Yan Fei was about to move closer, but some fear arose in his heart, and he froze in place.

"Yan Fei? Hello? Hello!"

Hu Tao suddenly came over, startling Yan Fei, and then apologized to Hu Tao in a panic.

"I'm sorry, I got distracted while working."

While talking, Yan Fei finally came to her senses: "But don't worry, I will definitely help you handle this matter properly, and the consultation price can be reduced appropriately."

"Lower the price?!"

These words seemed to make Hu Tao a little happy: "This hall master knows that his vision is not bad, and Yan Fei is definitely Li Yue's best legal consultant."

In the past, Yan Fei didn't feel much when she heard this, but now she felt a little embarrassed.

Scratching his head, his eyes couldn't help looking at Mu Xian.

"Hall Master Hu, I don't know who the little brother who has been following you is..."

Without saying anything, Mu Xian stood up, and his fingers hidden in his robe loosened the tight bracelet.

"Master, I want to take a walk."

Mu Xian didn't look at Yan Fei, and didn't wait for Hu Tao to respond, so he left on his own.

Hu Tao could feel that as Mu Xian left, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Turning to look at Yan Fei, the girl in front of her seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, with complex emotions flashing from time to time in her eyes.

"He is an employee of our Pastoral Hall, called Hu Muxuan..."

Hu Tao looked at Yan Fei, and was about to pull Yan Fei back from her memories, but found that Yan Fei seemed to be looking at herself.

"I almost know the specific situation, but I still need to investigate clearly."

Yan Fei was indescribably serious: "Don't worry, I will absolutely and definitely figure out what's going on with this matter."

...

Mu Xian walked through the pond full of lotus pods and lotus flowers, and then sat down at the other corner of the square under Yujing Terrace.

The sun just couldn't reach this corner, and the corner looked extraordinarily shady.

Mu sat idle for a while, then took out a straw man from his bosom, squeezed the head of the straw man tightly, but did not move for a long time.

"Mu Xian, do you know that the law is not for restraint, but for protection."

In a daze, Mu Xian seemed to have returned to the original Liyue. The girl looked almost the same as she does now, and she warned herself seriously.

"Even if you are a disciple of the Guhua Sect, you can't hurt people casually. Everything should be handed over to the law."

"There was no law in Liyue in ancient times. If one person killed another person, the son of the slain person would kill that person for revenge, and that person's son would kill the slain person's son..."

"It is often said in the scriptures when it is time for retribution. Hatred will never disappear because of revenge, it will only grow bigger and bigger because of revenge."

"That's why the emperor created the law, debts are repaid, people are killed, and people can find the justice they want in the law!"

justice...

Feeling restless again, when Mu Xian came back to his senses, he found that he crushed the straw man's head at some point.

After looking at the straw man in his hand for a long time, Mu Xian took the straw man back silently.
