The moon is above the treetops, and the clouds are in the courtyard. The tightly closed door still hasnt been opened. Inside the house, not even a glimmer of candlelight can be seen. Its pitch black, as if no one is home.

  Two loyal maidservants stood guard outside the door, and even though there was no one around, they did not dare to speak freely.

  The two of them occasionally looked back at the door behind them with worry, and exchanged glances to comfort each other. At this time, the night wind was slightly cool, and the two people who had not eaten all day felt a slight chill on their bodies, and both unconsciously hugged their own arms.

  Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the garden gate.

  This made the two maidservants suddenly vigilant, and after exchanging a glance, they descended the stairs and welcomed the visitor.

  Before they reached the garden gate, the light from the lanterns had already shone through, casting a glow on Yuhe and Huayues bodies, dispelling the darkness that clung to them and driving away the faint chill.

  In the midst of candlelight, a tall and slender woman with a heroic spirit walked in. She was wearing a female warriors attire, wrapped in soft armor. Her bright facial features were without makeup, her long hair was high-bunned, and only a delicate hairpin held it in place. Her flowing locks added to her elegant and free-spirited demeanor.

  At her waist, she also wore a short sword. The scabbard was exquisite, and the gems inlaid on it shone dimly in the candlelight.

  Looking at her expression between her eyebrows, its surprisingly similar to Mu Qingges.

  But at that age, he was much older than the latter.

  "Miss Chang!"

  They looked up to see who was coming and both You He and Hua Yue knelt down to pay their respects at the same time.

  "Get up." Mu Lianrong pushed away the lantern held by the maid beside her, looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, and said calmly.

  "Yes."

  Ouhe and Huayue obeyed and got up.

  At this time, they only noticed that behind the eldest miss of the Mu mansion, there were two people following her. One of them was wearing a white Luo skirt, with fluttering sleeves, and I saw that she was still lovely. At this moment, she was cleverly following behind Mu Lianrong. The remaining person was this persons personal maid.

  The flower moon secretly winked at young lotus, as if saying: That guy actually came too.

  The young lotus seemed to have not seen anything, and just stood with her eyes cast down.

  Mu Lianrong did not notice the exchange of glances between the two maids, but instead looked around and saw the dark pool of Qi Yunyuan. She couldnt help but frown: "Its already dark, why dont you light the lanterns? And where is your young master?"

  Young lotus stepped forward, slightly bowed her head and said softly: "After the young master returned, he rested. The slaves were afraid that the young master would have instructions after waking up, so they didnt dare to go far, which delayed the lighting of the lamps. Miss Chang arrived just as we were about to light the lamps."

  Mulan nodded and looked at the two people behind her at the dark house, asking: "That stinky kid came back and slept all the way until now?"

  Young Lotus and Hua Yue nodded in unison. They were also worried, but didnt dare to disturb Young Master anymore.

  At this time, the white-clothed figure, like a willow catkin, came to Mu Lianrongs side and said with concern: "Lianrong, Brother Mu has been sleeping since he returned from the battlefield, isnt there something wrong?"

  At night, in the dim light of the candle, her eyes, as simple and pure as those of a young deer, shone even brighter.

  As soon as she said that, Mu Lianrongs eyebrows furrowed, and a layer of worry also appeared in her sharp eyes.

  The young lotus lifted her eyes, stole a glance at the man in white, and then lowered them again, saying nothing. It was Huayue who slightly raised the corner of his mouth, but he also remained silent.

  The two peoples attitude towards this white-clothed girl didnt seem very friendly.

  "Ill go take a look." Mu Lianrong made up her mind and strode towards the house.

  Yonghe and Huayue exchanged a glance and hastily followed up.

  They were supposed to be Mu Qings maids, tasked with stopping anyone from entering, even if it was their masters own aunt. However, they too were worried about their masters situation and tacitly approved of Miss Mus actions.

  Behind Yuhe and Huayue, the woman in white clothes had a worried expression in her eyes, which turned into indifference, and then changed to concern again, as she followed quickly with her maid.

  "Stinky brat, open the door for your aunt! Can you hear me?" Mu Lianrong arrived in front of the tightly closed door and raised her hand to heavily pound on it.

  However, there was no response inside the door at all.

  This made Mu Lianrong even more worried. She added weight to her tone: "You little stinker, if you dont open the door, do you believe Ill beat your butt until it blooms?"

  Still no response.

  The two girls, You He and Hua Yue, felt even more uneasy in their hearts.

  It stands to reason that even if the young master slept like a dead man, he would have been woken up by Miss Changs disturbance. Moreover, the young master has always been afraid of Miss Chang, and upon hearing her voice, he would probably rush to open the door in a flurry. But at this moment, the knocking sound had continued for quite some time, yet there was no movement inside the room.

  Whoa——!

  The sound of the treasure sword being unsheathed rang out.

  The increasingly anxious Mu Lianrong seemed to be planning to break in.

  But just as Mulianrongs sword was about to strike the door open, a faint creaking sound came from the tightly closed door.

  The door creaked open, revealing a slender figure.

  "Rong Auntie, Brother Mu is out!" The white-clad girl stepped forward lightly and quickly grasped the hand of Mu Lianrong who was holding a sword, her delicate features filled with excitement.

  In fact, there was no need for her to do so, and Mu Lianrongs sword would not have been swung. She stood at the door, and when Mu Qingge appeared, the first thing he saw clearly was her.

  She didnt say anything about the white-clothed girls actions, but just looked at her and then put away her sword.

  "Little Master!"

  "Master, why are your clothes all wet?"

  Huayue and Youhe rushed to Muges side in surprise, tacitly guarding her left and right. The latter even carefully detected the abnormality on Muges body.

  At this time, Mu Ges condition was very poor, his whole body was weak and his skin was pale. The clothes on his body had long been soaked with sweat and became wrinkled.

  Her complexion was also good-looking beyond recognition.

  She had just narrowly escaped death and was brought back to life under the effect of the gene-altering agent, when she heard a deafening knock on the door, which made her already exhausted mood suddenly become irritable.

  So, her gaze at the culprit in front of her was very unpleasant.

  Mu Lianrong was stared at by Mu Ges clear and cold eyes, which made her heart skip a beat, and for a moment, she forgot to speak.

  The two masters of the Mu family stood facing each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.

  Fortunately, Young He reacted extremely quickly and hastily said to Murasaki: "Young Master, Miss Chang has come to see you."

  Miss Chang?

  This title turned around in Mu Ges mind for a circle, and then matched the person in front of her with the information in her mind. It turned out that she was Mu Xiongs youngest daughter, Mu Qing Ges aunt, and also the only female general in the Qin State army.

  Of course, this princess was given the title by the Emperor of Qin more because of Mu Rongs face. Mu Lianrong had never been on a battlefield and only participated in several bandit-suppressing operations within the borders of Qin. However, even so, it made her have a few more heroic spirits compared to ordinary noblewomen. Moreover, she was originally from the Mu family.

  People who admire Mu Family, regardless of gender, are born for battle!

  Knowing the identity of the newcomer, Mu Ges eyes flashed with a dark expression, and she lowered her voice to say: "Dont worry, Aunt. Qing Ge is just tired from not resting well for several days."

  "Its all right. You see, since you left home, not only your grandfather and I are worried about you, but also Suì Yuè is reciting scriptures and praying for you every day, wishing blessings for you." Mù Lián Róng put away the strange feeling brought by Mù Gēs eyes earlier, and pulled out the white-clothed girl who was hiding beside her.

  "Who is this again?"

  Mo Ges gaze swept over her lightly.

  The piercing gaze, like a cold wind, made the white-clad girls shoulders tremble slightly, and a nameless fear suddenly arose in her heart. She looked at the handsome young man in front of her with some astonishment, her eyes filled with doubt.

  Mù Qīng Gē seems to be a bit different now. Before, his gaze towards himself was filled with gloom and dislike, but just now, she felt that he didnt even put herself in his eyes, herself and the surrounding trees and rocks were almost indistinguishable.

  Her name is Bai Taixue, her father was a deputy general in the army and died five years ago while saving his grandfather. Her mother also followed him to death, leaving behind an orphaned daughter. Her grandfather worried that she would be bullied without parents, so he took her into the manor. Everyone in the manor calls her Miss Bai, and she is also considered half a mistress of the Mu Manor.

  She didnt give Bai Suoyue another glance, her gaze fell more on Mu Lianrong, its just a pity that the latter couldnt feel it.

  Muge suddenly felt a little surprised in her heart, thinking back, every time Muge introduced the people around her, she did so from an outsiders perspective, without bringing in personal emotions. It seemed that everything was up to this new person to decide.

  She raised an eyebrow, and in her heart, Mu Ge thought: Should I say youre clever or clever? If Mu Qing Ge had added personal emotions to the mix, she would have probably already been annoyed and left.

  "You stinky little kid, why arent you speaking up? Xue Yue is so concerned about you, dont you know how to show some gratitude?" Mu Lianrong said with a hint of frustration at Mu Ges silence.

  Mu Ge raised her eyes, somewhat perplexed. What should she know about being tactful?

  Digression
