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

Chapter 372 Mu Zhen has an epiphany.

Liu Mingyan saw that Li Mu's words made Yuanbao blush, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she poked Yuanbao's waist with her fingertips and asked:

"What kind of riddle are you and His Highness playing?"

Yuan Bao was lowering his head, desperately kneading the corner of his clothes. When he heard Liu Mingyan's words, his eyebrows suddenly frowned. He thought about it very seriously, then looked up at Liu Mingyan and said seriously:

"Yuanbao can't say it!"

"You damn girl, you can't even tell me?"

Liu Mingyan suddenly became anxious. Seeing that Yuanbao looked like he was forgetting his friendship for the sake of beauty, she went up to him and tried to tickle him.

In the carriage, the two women suddenly became a mess.

Yuanbao was sensitive by nature, and Liu Mingyan knew her weaknesses well, so she begged for mercy in no time.

Seeing this, Liu Mingyan stopped teasing her and looked her up and down with her beautiful eyes, with the words "tell the truth" written all over her face.

Yuan Bao let out a long sigh and gently patted his stiff face. When he saw Liu Mingyan's gaze, his expression became extremely solemn and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Miss, please don't ask. Yuanbao really can't tell."

"Your Highness has a way to improve your strength, so you suddenly reached the first level..."

Liu Mingyan rolled her eyes at Yuanbao, then leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.

"Woo woo~ damn girl, let go!"

However, as soon as the words came out, Yuanbao covered Liu Mingyan's mouth with his hand, looked around in panic, and looked out through the gap in the car window, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He frowned and looked at Liu Mingyan, feeling that his little brain was not enough. He was silent for a long time before saying:

"Yuanbao, Yuanbao doesn't know!"

Liu Mingyan poked Yuan Bao's forehead vigorously, with a doting tone:

"You are like this, and you still want to lie to me. It's written all over your face."

Upon hearing this, Yuanbao's face changed instantly, and in just a moment, tears were about to burst out of his red eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Mingyan quickly rubbed Yuanbao's hair and comforted him softly:

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Your Highness just said that to my face. I didn't intend to hide it from me. I know you can't hide it even if you want to."

Unexpectedly, Yuanbao felt even more wronged when he heard this, tears started to fall from his eyes, and he sobbed:

"Yuanbao, why is Yuanbao so useless!"

"...Your Highness said that because he was afraid that you would feel guilty. Doesn't Your Highness like little ingots like this?"

Liu Mingyan felt a little aggrieved. In the past, Yuanbao had only treated her like this.

Hearing Liu Mingyan's words, Yuanbao's crying gradually stopped. He looked at Liu Mingyan and sobbed.

"Really, really?"

Liu Mingyan nodded seriously, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Liu Mingyan felt that it was a huge loss not only for sending her own maid away but also for being responsible for after-sales service.

at the same time.

Li Mu sat on the roof of the carriage of Mu Zhen and the other two without any image, listened to the two girls fighting, and nodded.

Just as Liu Mingyan thought, this was exactly what Li Mu meant.

Yuanbao broke through from the early second level to the first level overnight, which was strange enough.

Those with less qualifications would not be able to overcome this hurdle in their entire lives, and no one would find it strange.

This kind of thing is naturally difficult to hide from close people, especially from an extremely smart woman like Liu Mingyan.

Instead of letting Yuanbao hide the matter from Liu Mingyan, it would be better to hand the matter over directly to Liu Mingyan.

After all, Yuanbao has a father. If someone asks, he would like to know how Yuanbao was promoted so quickly.

If Yuanbao refused to tell anyone, it would hurt the relationship between father and daughter.

With Liu Mingyan mediating, Li Mu doesn't have to worry about these things.

Li Mu believed that Liu Mingyan could do better than himself.

Seeing that the problem was solved perfectly, Li Mu turned over and jumped down and got into the carriage.

"Hey, I thought you just liked to bask in the sun up there, how come you were kicked out of the carriage?"

Mo Wuyan was playing chess with Mu Zhen. He sneered without even looking up and placed a piece. He seemed very satisfied with his move and nodded.

"We don't have any room for you here, if you want to sleep, sleep on the roof!"

Hearing this, Li Mu was not angry. He glanced at the chessboard, then looked at Mu Zhen's half-smiley expression, and said with a folded hand:

"Teacher, please forgive me when you can. Let's just wrap it up now."

After saying that, he walked straight towards Ge Lao.

Mu Zhen looked at Li Mu's back in surprise, but he didn't know that Li Mu also knew chess.

However, a Go player like Li Mu knows nothing about Go.

What he understood was Mu Zhen.

Judging from the look in Mu Zhen's eyes just now, Li Mu was 100% sure that Mu Zhen must have set a big trap for Mo Wuyan.

That's why I said that sentence, which seems profound but is actually useless.

Especially Li Mu's words, which hit the sore spot of Mu Zhen's chess style.

When Mu Zhen plays chess, he only seeks to win, not to plan.

However, the mainstream Confucian way of playing chess today emphasizes being upright and aboveboard.

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you two playing at guessing? Are you afraid that I will win?"

Seeing that Mu Zhen didn't move for a long time, Mo Wuyan tapped his fingers on the chessboard with an impatient look.

Mu Zhen held the chess piece, his hand hovering over the board, wanting to make a move but unable to make a decision.

After a while, he threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, turned to look at Li Mu, and asked:

"Qingyi, do you also feel that the chess move made by your master is a little inappropriate?"

At this time, Li Mu was being pricked by Ge Lao like a hedgehog.

Hearing Mu Zhen's question, his eyes turned to Ge Lao who was standing beside him.

Mr. Ge understood and reached out to pull out a silver needle from Li Mu's neck.

"I'll go, it's so amazing!"

Li Mu found that he could make a sound, and then he remembered Mu Zhen's words, so he could only bite the bullet and say,

"Teacher, you shouldn't ask me this. After all, you played this game yourself."

Li Mu's original intention was to put the blame back on himself and kill Mo Wuyan later, but it would have nothing to do with him.

However, when Mu Zhen heard this, his expression turned slightly confused, and he repeated what Li Mu said:

“Ask yourself…Ask yourself…”

The sound became louder and louder, and in the end, it even sounded a little crazy.

"Old man Mu, what are you doing? It's not a big deal for a game of chess. At worst, I'll let you win this game."

Mo Wuyan, who was sitting opposite him, frowned when he saw Mu Zhen's expression.

Li Mu also noticed Mu Zhen's strange behavior and thought to himself, has he gotten into trouble again?

He was anxious and all the silver needles in his body flew away as he stimulated his inner energy.

He flashed to Mu Zhen's side and said anxiously:

"Teacher, teacher, I was just talking nonsense. I don't know how to play chess. Don't listen to my nonsense. Play however you want. I won't say anything..."

Before Li Mu could finish his words, a big hand landed on his shoulder.

"Mr. Ge, what's happening to the teacher?"

Elder Ge shook his head lightly, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he praised:

"Young friend Mu Zhen is truly a rare genius that only appears once in a century. After this, I'm afraid he will be even faster than me."

"If we have the same mind, we can know everything from one."

As he spoke, Mu Zhen hummed softly, and his expression returned to normal. He changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

"Mr. Ge?"

"Don't worry. Young friend Mu has been feeling this since the last battle in Qiuzhou City. It's not a coincidence that he suddenly realized it now."

Mr. Ge patted Li Mu's shoulder and praised him.

Mo Wuyan curled his lips and got out of the carriage. From the noise, he jumped onto the roof to protect Mu Zhen.

"Teacher, if you suddenly realize something, doesn't that mean you will enter the heavenly realm?"

Li Mu asked with astonishment in his eyes.

"It's not that simple, it's just one step closer."

Elder Ge motioned Li Mu to go back and sit down, then raised the silver needle in his hand and wanted to prick him again, but he shook his head again, puzzled.

"May I ask, my lord, how did you force the silver needle out of my body just now?"

?

"Aren't you talking about the teacher's ascension to heaven?"

Li Mu turned to look at Ge Lao, and Ge Lao also looked at Li Mu. The old man and the young man were both lost in thought.
