Chapter Three: This girl, Aya, isn't very bright

ter touched down on the helipad of Yuzun Manor, night had already fallen.Wu Guanta knew they were coming back today, so he was waiting at the helipad early. Seeing Fu Lingxiao carrying Mu Xing down fr...Seeing this scene, Yun Tuo couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had spent two whole months trying to tame the wild wolf, but this frail little girl had tamed it in less than half an hour

The wolf is convinced, he's not convinced!

The task is complete, Mu Xing raised her lips and looked at Fu Lingxiao, "Little uncle, you keep your word!"

This result was indeed beyond Fu Lingxiao's expectations.

His scrutinizing gaze fell upon Mu Xing, laced with a hint of darkness that was difficult to fathom.

For a moment, he merely hummed in response.

"I told you so, I'm amazing!"

During her twelve years on Qingyun Mountain, she drove all the wild beasts from the mountain, even making them relocate in the middle of the night. Two wild wolves were nothing compared to that.

Two wolves, as docile as pets, leaned against Mu Xing's legs. Mu Xing gently stroked the wolf's head, smiling with curved eyebrows and corners of her mouth slightly dimpled.

This little girl, she's actually a bit... cute

Damn it!

Fu Lingxiao narrowed his eyes and handed the red wine to Mu Xing, "Come over tomorrow."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

It's time to hurry back to Qingyun Mountain!

Mu Xing held a glass of red wine and waved to Fu Lingxiao, "Uncle Fu, my name is Qiao Mu Xing, you can call me Mu Xing, see you tomorrow!"

Fu Lingxiao looked at the petite figure disappearing into the night, coldly lifting his lips: "Follow."

A dark shadow flashed past the window, chasing after Mu Xing's trail...

Qingyun Mountain.

"Master Father! I'm back!"

A joyful sound broke the quiet of the morning.

Mù Xīng pushed open the door with a glass of red wine in her arms. The house was empty, with only a single note lying lonely on the table:

My dear disciple, upon calculation with my fingers, I see that the bottle of wine is a sure loss. Thus, master shall depart first. Take care of yourself, and we shall meet again when our finances allow!

To dig a hole and then run away, is this something a teacher or master could do

"Too much!"

Mu Xing stared sleepily at the note. Then, she thought, her master had run away, no one was looking after her anymore, so wasn't she free to investigate the Mu family fire

Twelve years ago, the Mu family suffered a fire. Except for Mu Xing, who was only six years old and rescued by a passing master, the other thirteen members of the Mu family all perished in the flames.

She knew the fire was not an accident. Over the past twelve years at Qingyun Mountain, she had diligently honed her skills, all for this day - to uncover the truth behind the Mu family's fire!

Mu Xing excitedly ran to pack her luggage, suddenly catching sight of a figure flashing past in the trees outside the window.

Extremely fast!

Qingyun Mountain was remote and dangerous. In the past twelve years, she hadn't seen anyone else on the mountain besides herself and her master.

Could Master have never left at all, but simply gone into hiding

Okay! Dare to play hide-and-seek with me, your master Just watch as I catch you red-handed!

Mu Xing arrived at the door, took out his whistle and blew it. The next second, a sharp and loud cry came from the sky, and a golden eagle spread its wings and flew over, circling above Mu Xing's head, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The falcon's name is Invincible. Three years ago, Mu Xing found him in the mountains.

At that time, it was still a young eagle, injured all over and fallen in the forest. It was being attacked by several wild boars. Mu Xing happened to pass by and helped drive away the wild boars, took it home to heal its wounds, and named it "Wudi," hoping it would be brave and invincible when it grew up.

After recovering from his injuries, Wudi lived in the nearby mountains and forest, bringing a whistle to Mu Xing. From then on, whenever the whistle sounded, Wudi would appear immediately.

Mù Xīng pointed to the bushes where a figure had flashed, "Wú Dì! Go find the person hiding there!"

Indestructible received the order and flapped its wings to fly away.

Among the bushes, branches swayed and leaves fell. After a rustling sound, a figure leaped out.

He was a strange young man, dressed in all black.

He was dodging the relentless pursuit of the invincible, facing his lightning-fast and powerful attacks with ease.

He is a top-notch expert!

Mu Xing secretly marveled at his skill and blew a whistle, "Wu Di, come back!"

Indomitable, hearing the sound, immediately retracted its power and flew back to Mu Xing's side, landing on her thin shoulder. Its sharp claws lightly grazed her, completely harmless.

"Invincible, you've gained weight again."

Mu Xing touched Wu Di's paw and looked at the unfamiliar young man, "Who are you"

After suffering a setback in his career, Shen Yue was feeling down and immediately sold out Fu Lingxiao, saying, “Fu Ye sent me here.”

"Grandfather Fu" Mu Xing blinked in confusion, "Who is that"

It seems this young lady still doesn't know just how terrifying the person she's gotten herself involved with is!

The Emperor of the Capital! Ruthless methods! Ironclad wrists! Decisive killing!

His nickname is "Cold Noodle Yama."

The last person who crossed him is nowhere to be found, not even his grave.

Shen Yue looked at her with regret, "The estate you broke into last night belongs to Mr. Fu."

Mu Xing then reacted, "Oh, so it was Little Uncle who sent you! He must be worried about my safety on the road, so he sent you to protect me, right"

Looking at the smiling girl before him, Shen Lue frowned slightly. This girl was clearly not very smart, how could she not notice that she was being followed so obviously

Mu Xing wasn't stupid, she of course knew it was that young uncle who was afraid she would run away. Since she was little, her master had taught her to look through things but not speak of them. Besides, the younger brother's attempt to follow her had failed, and if he said it out loud, how embarrassing would that be for him

Go.

Mu Xing issued the command, Wu Di spread his wings and flew towards the sky. She looked back at Shen Lue, "Little brother, you've worked hard protecting me all the way. I don't have much to thank you for, just... how about I treat you to some barbecue"

As soon as food was mentioned, her stomach started rumbling loudly. She had only eaten a steamed bun since this morning yesterday.

Okay, then I won't be polite.

Shen Lue readily agreed, he had been following Mu Xing to find out about her situation. Since he was discovered, he might as well turn his covert investigation into an open one.

Mu Xing led Shen Lue into the house and motioned for him to sit down. "Little brother, stay here at home and wait for me. I'll be right back."

After he finished speaking, he rushed out.

The petite figure quickly disappeared into the woods. Making sure Mu Xing was gone, Shen Lue immediately began searching his home.

This is a stone house in the mountains, with two rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Although it's a bit simple, the facilities are complete.

Besides the little girl, there was also a man from the household items.

Shen Lu searched carefully but couldn't find anything to confirm the other person's identity. He sat back in his chair, planning to wait for Mu Xing to come back and question her.

A casual glance revealed a scrap of paper stuck beneath the table, with blackened edges hinting at an incomplete burning.

He picked up the torn pieces of paper, saw that there was half of the burned pattern left on it, and felt a chill in his heart. He immediately took a picture and sent it to Fu Lingxiao.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped out of the manor.

In the luxurious interior, Fu Lingxiao sat in the back row wearing a black suit. His cold and stern brows were lowered as he quickly skimmed through financial news on his tablet.

The cellphone on the armrest suddenly vibrated.

He picked up his phone. The screen displayed a WeChat message, sent by Shen Lue who was assigned to track him.

A photo is accompanied by a caption: “Grandfather Fu, this is what I found at that little girl’s house.”

Upon opening the photo, Fu Lingxiao's brow furrowed suddenly, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes. He stared at the black wing pattern on the tattered piece of paper, and his memory was instantly pulled back twelve years.. A layer of gloom shrouded the depths of those eyes, and his handsome face, usually so striking, now seemed frighteningly gloomy."Uncle, I'm only attending the banquet with him. I promise not to com...
