Chapter 61: Mu Chuang Chickened Out

    “Your person?” Zhao Yuming’s face revealed a look of disdain. “Judging by your appearance, you probably haven’t succeeded yet. How does it feel to see but not touch?”

    He said this deliberately to provoke Mu Chuang. Everyone knew Lin Xi had been at the county office for months and hadn’t been touched once, how could that be possible?

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, he was surprised to see Mu Chuang’s face change, as if he had hit the nail on the head.

    Zhao Yuming was instantly overjoyed, “Look at your chickened-out look, could it really be…”

    “Bullshit!” Mu Chuang couldn’t save face and suddenly cursed, “I sleep with him every day, every night, day and night, it’s just that you didn’t see it.”

    “Everyone in this county office knows that I’m in the backyard all day long. You’re just jealous because you can’t get any action yourself, and you think everyone else is like you?”

    After he finished speaking, he belatedly felt guilty, because facing Lin Xi, if he really had to do that kind of thing to him, he really couldn’t bring himself to do it.

    After all, turning him from a younger brother into a wife requires a certain process, and he hasn’t mentally prepared himself for it yet.

    And Zhao Yuming said he “chickened out,” and it seemed there was nothing wrong with that.

    “Just putting on a tough front,” Zhao Yuming still ridiculed him with a look of disdain, “You can deceive others, but you can’t deceive me.”

    For some reason, he became more and more convinced of his own idea from the change in Mu Chuang’s face. Don’t ask him why, he just had that feeling.

    “You’re asking for a beating!” Mu Chuang was angered by him, and threw a punch.

    Last night was pitch black, and he hadn’t fought him properly yet. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to properly study the original body’s martial arts.

    Zhao Yuming quickly met his move, and then he found something was wrong. He couldn’t see clearly last night because it was dark. Seeing him today, he felt like the other person had changed.

    If it were in the past, in his current state of poor spirits and injury, he would not have been his opponent at all. Last night, the opponent fought him for so long, without a clear winner, and seeing him today, even his moves were wrong. It felt like a wild, random fight.

    He couldn’t help but frown, while fighting the opponent, he speculated in his heart: Could this person be possessed by someone? Could these kinds of strange things really exist? If that’s the case, then can I…

    Expose… him?

    After about a dozen more moves, just as he was about to make up his mind, Mu Chuang suddenly stopped.

    Obviously, he also noticed something was wrong.

    “I’m not fighting,” he dodged Zhao Yuming’s attack again, and said, “I’ve been indulging in excessive sex lately, my back and legs are sore, and I can’t my true abilities. I’ll clean you up after I rest for a few days.”

    Zhao Yuming stopped his fist. The words he was originally preparing to expose him suddenly didn’t dare to say them easily.

    After all, not many people would believe that kind of strange thing if he said it, and he was afraid that he would get into trouble if he was not careful, and no one would be able to save him then.

    But his silence didn’t mean he had dispelled his suspicions. He needed to find more evidence.

    “It’s fine if you don’t fight.” He didn’t plan to fight him in the first place, and he hadn’t forgotten his purpose for coming to him now, “I wonder if Young Master Mu can let me see Little Xi?”

    Mu Chuang saw that the other party had stopped, and was about to go to the street to find a wine shop to have a drink, when he suddenly heard him say this, and immediately stopped.

    “Are you not awake yet?” He said with a dark face, “Is your brain filled with bean dregs or a lump of shit? Do you want me to open it up and take a look?”

    Zhao Yuming’s face also darkened when he heard this. He had never been scolded like this before. As soon as the other party said this, it immediately aroused his anger.

    “Mu Chuang,” he pointed his finger at the other person’s nose, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, “Don’t go too far, what’s so great about being the son of a seventh-rank county magistrate? Once you leave Nanxi County, you’re nothing, don’t think I’m afraid of you.”

    The meaning of his words was very clear. He had been everywhere, so there was no place he hadn’t been. As long as Mu Chuang left Nanxi County, he would have a way to deal with him.

    “You dare threaten me?” Mu Chuang naturally heard the meaning in his words, and was instantly angered, “Come on, arrest this young master, and don’t let him out without my permission.”

    The place he was currently in was just the back gate of the yamen. As long as he gave an order, the yamen servants and guards would come together, plus himself, and subduing Zhao Yuming would be easy.

    Zhao Yuming didn’t expect him to get serious with him because of his words. Considering that he was injured and outnumbered, he was at a disadvantage, so he decided to retreat first.

    It wasn’t that he was afraid of trouble, but if he was caught, he would have no way to take Lin Xi away. Therefore, escaping was the most sensible choice at the moment.

    But Mu Chuang’s Qinggong (light body skill) was superb. After using it twice last night, he became more and more skilled today. With a tap of his toes, he flew out, like a beautiful blue-purple peacock flying through the air, and then landed a zhang (a unit of length) away from Zhao Yuming, blocking his way.

    But his landing posture was still not very good…

    He was half-kneeling, with one hand on the ground, as if he was giving Zhao Yuming a Jianghu (martial arts world) salute.

    “???” Zhao Yuming was full of questions and hadn’t reacted to what was happening, when the yamen servants and guards behind him surrounded him.

    After realizing what was happening, before he could laugh, he was tied up securely.

    “Haha… Hahaha…” Mu Chuang, with an embarrassed face, laughed out loud after seeing him being tied up. The originally dark face cleared up after standing up, and he laughed arrogantly at this moment, “…I told you you weren’t awake, and you didn’t believe me. How does it feel to be caught by me now?”

    Zhao Yuming had a dark face, and a haze flashed in his eyes. He didn’t answer Mu Chuang’s words, but instead said to the group of guards and yamen servants who had caught him, “He’s not your master, he’s possessed by an evil spirit.”

    He originally planned to endure it, but now that he was caught, and coupled with Mu Chuang’s landing posture just now, he was even more certain that the person inside this shell had changed, so he said it regardless.

    Mu Chuang’s eyes darkened when he heard this, “Bullshit! I think you’re really not awake. You guys, lock him up in the prison, and find a way to make him sober.”

    A group of yamen servants and guards responded, and were about to take him in, when they heard Mu Chuang add, “Don’t kill him, this young master wants to keep him to slowly clean him up.”

    “Yes.” The yamen servants and guards responded, and took the man inside.

    Zhao Yuming’s angry voice came from the air, “Imposter, I will definitely find a way to expose you!”

    Then the voice became farther and farther away, and gradually could not be heard.

    Mu Chuang didn’t have the mind to go out for a drink at this moment, and began to think about countermeasures.

    “Damn it,” he cursed in his heart, “This Zhao Yuming is really not an easy person to deal with.”
