I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 838 "The night is getting darker in the mountains and the dew is heavier..."

In the cave, the fire flickered.

The three masters and apprentices looked at each other in silence, and a few exquisite side dishes were placed casually on the ground.

"Master, I am ready and can go to the wilderness at any time."

"Yeah." Xuanjizi nodded in response. Although he lowered his head, his peripheral vision was always observing Shanyuan's expression.

He was still not sure whether it was his disciple who did it.

Did you do all this because you didn't want to die after taking out the 'Dao Wood'?

But why is he so calm now?

Could it be that he knows everything?

The Renzong also has a section of 'Dao Wood' on Xuanjizi's body.

"This trip to the wilderness will go with you, Master." Xuanjizi tested Shanyuan, wanting to know his attitude.

Perhaps this little disciple had already made plans to sacrifice himself.

After all, he was the disciple he had brought up. If that was the case, perhaps... he could sacrifice his old bones for his disciple.

"It would be best if a master were in charge."

Shan Yuan nodded, with no emotion on his face.

"You wish to accompany me as a teacher?"

Xuanjizi exerted a little force on the chopsticks and confirmed again unwillingly.

Hearing this, Shan Yuan paused, put down his chopsticks, and said in a serious tone,

"Although I don't want Master to work so hard, this is a matter of 'Heavenly Road', so it will definitely be safer with Master in charge."

With a "crack", the chopsticks in Xuanjizi's hand broke into two pieces. He looked at Shanyuan with his deep eyes and nodded.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

He turned around, raised his hand and sent the two out of the cave.

"You two go down and prepare, and we will set off in three days."

He suddenly realized that perhaps his desire to sacrifice himself just now was due to his 'forgetting the law'.

Unexpectedly, his little apprentice has grown to such a level.

Xuanjizi has always known that Shanyuan has many secrets.

But "children and grandchildren have their own blessings", he never asked, but he didn't know that the little disciple he was wholeheartedly protecting had been plotting against him from beginning to end.

"good very good!"

He raised his head and seemed to see again the scene of the dark and thin little boy, kneeling on the ground and worshipping his master, holding two bamboo slips in his hands.

"Humph!"

Xuanjizi snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, cut off the mirror image from the little boy's neck, and then disappeared.

He recalled that both "The Art of Hidden Sharpness" and "The Three-in-One Method" were brought by Shan Yuan.

...

outside the cave.

The two brothers were both bewildered. Shanyang still had a green vegetable leaf in his mouth, looking at the slowly falling water curtain in surprise.

"A century-long plan is about to come to fruition. Even Master can't help but be excited."

Shanyuan was cheerful and didn't feel unhappy at all for being suddenly kicked out. He even comforted Shanyang.

"Suck it."

Shan Yang sucked the green leaves into his mouth, then looked at Shan Yuan, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He understood Xuanjizi's feelings. After all, his master must be in great pain to sacrifice his junior fellow apprentice.

For the sake of the human sect's century-long plan, any one person's sacrifice is worth it.

He raised his hand, patted Shanyuan's shoulder, and sighed softly.

Shan Yuan was stunned for a moment, tilted his head to look at Shan Yang's hand, thought for a moment and said,

"Brother, sacrifice is inevitable... Besides, it's something that I did willingly, so I hope you don't take it too seriously."

Hearing this, Shanyang was even more excited. He didn't expect that his junior brother would be so open-minded.

He had already guessed why he couldn't remember anything about 'Dao Mu'. It must be that Shan Yuan used the 'Forgetfulness Technique' on him.

Shanyuan planned to sacrifice himself from the beginning.

"Junior brother!"

Shan Yang held Shan Yuan's shoulders with both hands, his eyes were slightly red.

Shan Yuan was helpless and thought to himself, isn’t she just a girl?

Don’t worry, I will take good care of her in the future.

He guessed that Shan Yang might have already known that Wen Ren Yue had secretly gone to find Li Mu again.

However, he naturally wouldn't take such a small matter to heart.

Now the plan is about to be accomplished. She is just a woman. As long as she can appease Li Mu and prevent him from doing anything wrong, it will be better than anything else.

The slave seal obviously had only a slight effect on Li Mu.

Although he agreed to come to Qingfeng Temple, it did not reduce his vigilance.

This person is still as careful as ever.

……

At night, in the side room.

When Li Mu learned that he had to go to the wilderness, he frowned.

"Did your father ask you to tell me this?"

"Yeah." Wen Renyue put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and drew circles on the ground with her toes.

"Big brother, the nights in the mountains are dark and the dew is heavy, you..."

"Tell your father that I will not go. I will return to the capital tomorrow."

However, before Wen Renyue could finish speaking, Li Mu interrupted her.

You want to order people around without seeing any benefits. How can such a good thing happen?

"Li Mu!"

"Dog man."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Doudou and Jun Jiuling spoke at the same time.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at Xu Doudou in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I……"

Xu Doudou's eyes wandered. When she learned that she might have to go to Jiangzhou, she became excited and subconsciously called out.

Although she had made up her mind to stay with Li Mu and go back to find her parents after giving birth to a child.

But when it comes to having children, who can say for sure?

During this period, she worked hard day and night. Whenever she passed by the county town, she would go to the clinic to see a doctor for pulse diagnosis, but there was no sign of stomach pain.

Now that I know I can go to Jiangzhou to see my parents early, it is impossible not to be excited.

"You want to go?"

Li Mu looked at her suspiciously.

He had known for a long time that Xu Doudou was hiding something from him.

Now it seems that it may be related to Jiangzhou.

It’s not that Li Mu doesn’t care, but he really has no time to take care of other things now.

He had no idea how he was going to deal with Shan Yuan...

Li Mu also didn't understand why he had to erase his memory. Could it be that Shan Yuan had the ability to read minds?

"I, my concubine, will obey your Majesty in everything."

Xu Doudou pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Before leaving home, she did want to ask Li Mu for help.

But when she arrived at Linglong Waterside Pavilion, she gave up the idea.

The mission of the farmers belongs to the farmers, and she shouldn't involve Li Mu in it.

She has been "selfish" once and cannot be "selfish" a second time.

"Why don't you just stop squeezing me? I still like your unruly look."

Li Mu reached out and touched Xu Doudou's head. Although she looked so delicate and charming, she could sometimes make people feel attracted to her.

But usually, Li Mu really doesn't think this is necessary.

"Li Mu!"

Xu Doudou was feeling moved by herself, but when she heard Li Mu's words, she felt insulted. She raised her head and bit his finger.

"Why am I not gentle? Explain it to me clearly!"

The two of them instantly wrestled into a fight, and Xu Doudou, regardless of the other people in the room, rushed forward and intended to show Li Mu her "gentle" side.

"Big brother……"

On the side, Wen Renyue bit her lower lip, feeling so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

The two of them had slept on the same couch before, but Li Mu didn't care about her face at all and rejected her without even thinking about it.

Is this what my mother always says, pulling up your pants and refusing to admit it?

"Dog man, promise her."

At this time, Jun Jiuling's voice sounded in Li Mu's ears again. She seemed to have considered for a long time before making this decision.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal. He pushed aside Xu Doudou who was still nagging, stood up and walked to Wen Renyue, leaned over, and comforted her softly,

"Don't feel wronged. Isn't it enough to promise you?"

"Big brother?" Wen Renyue felt her nose sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

Sure enough, the older brother was much better than her scumbag father, and her mother’s judgment of people...was only wrong that once.

With a leap, he climbed onto Li Mu's neck like a koala.

"Brother, you are so kind."

"You, you don't even ask me why?"

At this time, Jun Jiuling's somewhat tangled voice sounded in Li Mu's ears.

Li Mu hugged Wen Renyue, pinching her cheek with his hands, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and replied in his heart,

"What's there to ask? You won't hurt me."

"Big brother, I, I still need to report to my father..."

Wen Renyue shrank her neck, noticing Li Mu's increasingly "insolent" hands, and spoke in a low voice.

Li Mu raised her chin with his fingers, letting her look at him, and said with a sly smile,

"The night is darker in the mountains and the dew is heavier..."

...

At the same time, in another room.

An anxious old father paced back and forth in the room, his face full of anxiety.
