AWDC Chapter 64
by VolareSpeaking of this, he suddenly felt weak and weary, so he simply sat back down on the bed. Thinking of some past events, that man had also said similar promises to him, but what happened in the end? They were all broken promises.
Sensing the silence of the person behind him, Mu Chuang suddenly turned around and saw him sitting sadly on the edge of the bed, his eyes lowered, as if he had recalled some sad past events, his whole person lonely and indifferent.
He quietly looked at him, some past events flashed in his mind, combined with what he had just said, he suddenly thought of some promises he had inadvertently made to him, which seemed to end up being slaps in the face.
“Lin Xi…” He felt a pang in his heart and wanted to reach out and touch the other’s icy face, but he was deliberately dodged as soon as he got close.
Although the angle of turning away wasn’t large, it carried an irresistible resistance, making Mu Chuang, who usually had a thick skin like a city wall, not dare to touch him again at this moment.
He guiltily retracted his hand, and then, like a child apologizing for his mistakes, stood in front of Lin Xi, patiently telling him why he wouldn’t release Zhao Yuming.
“He suspects my identity, he wants to expose the fact that I’m not the original owner.”
“I don’t know the Mu family’s martial arts. The reason I locked him up is to take this time to practice hard and try to regain the original owner’s memory, otherwise he will expose me, which is not good for either of us.”
“The reason I don’t let him see you is also for this reason. After all, he is very familiar with Lin Yu. If you spend too much time with him, he will find out sooner or later.”
“So, you have to trust Brother Chuang. I’m not deliberately not letting you out. I’m considering your safety. You have to understand my good intentions.”
“We just came to this world and are not familiar with anything. I have been struggling to cope these days. I’m blocking for you outside. You are in this backyard all day, and no one will suspect you, isn’t that good?”
“Although I made mistakes on you, I never thought of harming you, did I?”
“Believe me,” he suddenly took a step forward and held Lin Xi’s cheeks quite forcefully. The soft and elastic skin in his hands made him couldn’t help but gently pinch it a few times, “Unless absolutely necessary, I won’t hurt him.”
His meaning was to observe Zhao Yuming’s reaction and see the subsequent developments, and he didn’t rule out taking his life.
“Of course, you must cooperate with me, otherwise I can’t guarantee…” He didn’t need to make the words behind him clear, Lin Xi naturally understood.
But he wouldn’t follow his words and answer.
“My memory is not good, I forgot what Young Master said.” He still spoke to him in Lin Yu’s identity, and indicated that he didn’t know his secret, meaning to reassure Mu Chuang that he hadn’t heard anything, responding to him with a completely detached attitude.
Mu Chuang was amused by him again, withdrew his hands that were holding his face, and sighed heavily, extremely helplessly saying, “You are really annoying, one day I will make you cry and beg for mercy.”
His words had many meanings, including that kind.
Lin Xi’s face changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, colorful, making Mu Chuang’s mood comfortably for a while.
“Humph.” He let out a smug muffled laugh, stared at the jade-like person in front of him, took advantage of his unpreparedness and kissed him on the face, then fled in panic.
Before leaving, he left a sentence, “I’m going to the back mountain to practice martial arts. If you ever figure it out and want to go out to play, just tell the maid, and I’ll be there whenever you call.”
The voice faded away, and the blue-purple peacock figure quickly disappeared into the backyard.
Lin Xi withdrew his gaze, recalling what he had just said, the emotions in his eyes became complicated.
Mu Chuang didn’t go to the back mountain right away, but went to the prison first.
He wanted to ensure that Zhao Yuming didn’t spread the news.
The yamen servant saw him coming and politely saluted, and then took him to see Zhao Yuming at his request.
At this time, Zhao Yuming was locked in the same prison cell where Wu Liangde had been held before. He had already been confused, and his whole body had been doused with cold water.
Mu Chuang went in and glanced at the torture instruments that had served him, and couldn’t help but click his tongue: the old man here still has some means.
Accustomed to a society ruled by law, he felt that this scene was a bit too cruel.
But for this world, it was actually quite normal.
“Lock him in the deepest torture prison, no one is allowed to go in without my permission.” Mu Chuang instructed the yamen servant, and glanced at the wounds on Zhao Yuming’s body, adding, “As long as he doesn’t talk nonsense, there’s no need to torture him, if he dies, I won’t be able to explain it.”
“If the master asks, you can say that he wanted to snatch someone from me, I locked him up for a few days, just to teach him a lesson, as long as he is honest, he will be released.”
“Yes.” The yamen servant responded, and then unbound the iron chains on Zhao Yuming’s body, one on each side, and then escorted him, who was in a comatose state, to the deepest torture prison according to Mu Chuang’s instructions.
After doing all this, he came to the back mountain of the county government. It was said to be the back mountain, but it was actually some distance away from the county government, but it was behind the county government, so it was called the back mountain.
The mountain was lush with vegetation, and there was no one in sight as far as the eye could see, which was indeed a good place for novices to practice.
Mu Chuang put the martial arts manual he had brought from the original owner’s room on the ground and began to practice.
Coming from a peaceful world, he had never been exposed to these things before. Fortunately, the original owner had left him a body of steel and iron bones, and it had an immeasurable explosive force, making his learning twice as effective with half the effort.
He was already quick-witted, and learning these martial arts moves was much easier than doing math problems. In less than half a day, he had mastered the basic moves thoroughly.
When it was almost dinner time, he was about to stop working and go back, but an unexpected scene happened –
From the depths of the dense forest came a vague chanting sound, followed by a Yin-Yang flag peeking out from the grass, followed by hurried footsteps.
“Taoist?” Mu Chuang’s first reaction was to think of this kind of person. He had seen a lot of weird things on his phone before. He treated them as entertainment in that world, but he didn’t think so here.
After all, the feeling of being able to fly more than ten feet with a tap of his toes was something he had personally experienced, which was impossible in that world, no matter how developed your skills were.
“Damn it,” he cursed in his heart, “I thought the original owner’s skills were already good, plus a good identity, no one would dare to bully me here, but I didn’t expect there to be this kind of weird stuff, is it just here to counter me?”
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, he quickly put away the martial arts manual on the ground, and then prepared to sneak away quietly from the other side.
However, the Taoist behind was very vigilant, he had just moved his feet and was discovered by him.
