Chapter 191 Is it you? !
When Shen Shenshen looked around the room, she felt that the black-robed man sitting opposite her was also looking at her. Not wanting to argue with him any more, she asked directly, "Sir, why did you invite me here today?"
"Miss Shen, there's no need to pretend. I must have known that I asked you to come here to lure out Mu Yejun."
"How do you know that the young master will come with the jade in his arms?"
"Haha, everyone in Fen Ying Hall knows how much Mu Ye-jun likes Second Miss Shen."
"Oh~~~~So, young master is from Fenyingtang?" Shen Shen looked at the man in black clothes and black face with a look of 'as expected' on his face.
“Hahahaha.” The man laughed in a different voice, “I’m sorry to disappoint Second Miss Shen, but I’m not from the Burning Shadow Hall.”
"No?" Shen Shen frowned. Was Xie Wang'an's information wrong? "Since he is not from the Burning Shadow Hall, why did you target Mu Yejun?"
"Because..." The man in black picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Shen Shen, placing it in front of her, and made a gesture of invitation. "Why should I tell you?"
"Forget it." Shen Shenshen was too lazy to ask any more questions and just picked up the teacup and drank.
The man stared at Shen Shenshen who was drinking tea with burning eyes, and asked curiously, "Second Miss Shen, aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"
"I am not a threat to you. But if I poison the second daughter of the Marquis's family, not to mention my Ziyuan, His Majesty will investigate. It will be troublesome afterwards and will do you no good. So, you will not poison me."
The black-robed man clapped his hands. "Very clever."
"Of course." Shen was always modest and reserved. She felt that this man was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Suddenly, the man chuckled and said, "Since Mu Ye-jun is here, why don't you come out?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shenshen turned her head and stared at the open door of the attic. She saw a familiar figure appear and smiled.
The person who came was tall and slender, and his steps were somewhat careless.
He still tied his long black hair into a handsome high ponytail, fixed it with an exquisite golden crown. He wore a bright red gown, a black narrow-sleeved long brocade jacket, and a wide belt around his waist. The brocade robe was embroidered with large and complex patterns with golden threads, showing endless luxury and nobility. He wore a pair of black and red boots, with lifelike auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the boots. As he moved, the auspicious clouds seemed to be floating.
Mu Yejun's skin was as white as jade, his lips were slightly upturned, and he always had a faint smile on his face. His dress was luxurious and ostentatious to the extreme, but it didn't make people feel bored at all, instead, they were deeply attracted to him.
The man in black robe looked at Mu Yejun who walked into the trap without any care and sneered: "Second Master Mu is already a dying man, yet he is still so arrogant."
Mu Yejun walked over to sit beside Shen Shenshen, gently put his arm around her shoulders, looked at the man in black robe with a smile, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Do you think you can scare me like this? You are just a mouse hiding its head and showing its tail."
The black-robed man's eyes first fell on his hands that were hugging Shen Shenshen. He was not angry when he heard him mocking him, "I'm just showing off my quick words! Tonight will be the day when Second Young Master Mu dies."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said excitedly, "Why don't you come out and meet the person you've been thinking about day and night?"
A woman in white came in from the door of the pavilion. She was not outstanding in appearance, and looked even more ordinary compared to Shen Shen. She casually tied her hair into a bun on the side, with a red peony flower pinned on it. She had a good figure, and the hem of her long skirt had a side slit, which was popular in Shen Shen's previous life. As she walked, her slender thighs were vaguely revealed.
Only one of the thighs was vaguely visible, with gauze wrapped around it, as if it had been injured.
After the woman entered the room, her eyes never left Mu Yejun, her eyes were full of love and obsession. When she glanced at Shen Shenshen, although she was surprised by her stunning beauty, she turned unfriendly when she saw Mu Yejun's hand gently holding her shoulders.
Mu Yejun looked back at the woman, his eyes were emotionless. "It turned out to be you, Yue Ranran, who assassinated me yesterday."
Shen Shenshen looked at Mu Yejun in surprise, "Was she the black-clad assassin in Zuiyue Tower yesterday?" Then he pointed at Yue Ranran with his index finger.
"Well, the courtesan of the Imperial Music Bureau, Yue Ranran. One of the four branch masters of the Feninging Hall, Yueying. She is also... this young master's confidante." Mu Yejun simply said it all.
"Oh~~ Huaibi's confidante~~" She couldn't help but look Yue Ranran up and down, nudged Mu Yejun with her elbow, and said excitedly: "Huaibi, you are so lucky."
The man in black robe looked at the two people behaving intimately and said in an angry voice: "Yueying, kill Mu Yejun."
"Young Master..." Yue Ranran opened her mouth, but didn't know how to say it for a moment.
"Wait." Shen Shen said, "Miss Yue, if you love Huai Bi so much, why did you join the enemy and kill the man you love?"
Yue Ranran didn't even look at her, and said coldly: "Shen Shenshen, this has nothing to do with you."
"Yueying, don't be unreasonable." Mu Yejun shouted.
Yue Ranran was silent.
The man in black sneered and bewitched, "Yueying, I've said before that Mu Yejun can do anything for Second Miss Shen. You are worthless in his heart, but if you kill him tonight, I promise that you will be the deputy leader of Fenying Hall in the future. Think about the supreme power and endless money, what can't a man get."
Mu Yejun looked at Yue Ranran, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. "I thought Yueying was someone I could trust completely, but I didn't expect that you would be the first person to betray me." There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.
Yue Ranran smiled sadly, stared at the man she loved deeply, and said fiercely: "Lord... Mu Yejun, you deserve to die for trampling on Yueying's feelings. Just become Yueying's stepping stone."
Before she finished her words, a silver whip suddenly appeared in her hand, and she lashed at Shen Shen fiercely.
"Be careful." In a hurry, the man in black robe stood up and wanted to protect Shen Shen, but he didn't realize that he forgot to change his tone.
As soon as the man's voice came out, Shen Shenshen was stunned on the spot. She recognized the owner of the voice.
It's him! How could it be him!
Mu Yejun immediately hugged Shen Shenshen and turned around, using his back to block the silver whip. With a 'hiss' sound, the whip cut through his clothes and hit Mu Yejun's back hard, leaving a bloody whip mark.
However, Yue Ranran seemed to be crazy, and her moves became more and more fierce as she attacked Shen Shenshen.
The man in black frowned and shouted, "Yueying, stop it."
At this time, Mu Yejun had already jumped out of the range of the whip's attack while holding Shen Shenshen. He put the frightened person in his arms to one side, blocked the attack with his body, and looked coldly at the woman waving the whip, as if he was looking at a corpse.
Yue Ranran looked at Shen Shenshen with resentment, "Mu Yejun, Yueying has given so much for you, but you have never looked me in the eye...but you gave up everything for this woman. You gave up the plan of Feningtang and the entire Feningtang. Shen Shenshen, you deserve to die." Her voice was full of despair.
Mu Yejun ignored her confession and said coldly, "Those who hurt the gods." His eyes gradually turned red, and he said evilly, "Die."
Yue Ranran laughed miserably and said, "Haha. I hate you to the core now...I will drag you down with me even if I have to die."
She swung the silver whip at Mu Yejun, and the whip-holder was agile, the whip in his hand was like a spirit snake, whistling and rushing. Mu Yejun on the opposite side dodged to the side, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand. He swung the dagger and tried to cut off the whip. However, the whip seemed to have life, flexibly avoiding the dagger and continued to attack him.
Seeing the whip coming fiercely, Mu Yejun did not retreat but advanced, flashing his body and getting close to Yue Ranran. The long dagger in his hand flashed with light and stabbed at her like a storm. Yue Ranran waved the whip to resist, but the whip was not good at close combat, and there was a flaw in the swing. Mu Yejun seized the opportunity, dodged the whip and slashed Yue Ranran's throat with the dagger.
Blood splattered everywhere, and Yue Ranran's body slowly fell down. There was still a hint of unwillingness and resentment in her eyes, but more of it was admiration.
Shen Shenshen came back to his senses from the fear of being attacked. Without even looking at Yue Ranran's body, he stared at the masked man in black robe, his eyes full of disbelief.
The black-robed man also turned a blind eye to Yue Ranran's death. He just looked at Shen Shenshen without changing his tone, and said, "It seems that Miss Shen has guessed my identity?"
Mu Yejun wiped the blood off the dagger in silence.
Shen Shen closed his eyes, calmed down, and spoke with some difficulty.
"I am still used to you calling me God, Chang'an."
