Need More Villainy
Mu Yu did not feel at ho even though he was at ho for he did not feel emotionally connected to the household anymore. His family noticed the distinct change in him in spite of him trying to hide it. Nevertheless, Mu Tianhe advised the family against interrogating Mu Yu as the forr trusted his grandson.
Mu Yu appreciated Mu Xin clinging to him and being affectionate. With that said, being hailed as a hero irked him for he did not consider himself one.
“Brother Mu Yu, can you share so fun and interesting stories with ?”
“There was nothing fun out there,” Mu Yu replied.
“Last ti Mu Hao ca back, he told Formation Sect is amazing and showed an array of them. I still think you’re better, though.” Mu Xin poked her tongue.
Mu Yu forced himself to smile as though he forgot how to.
“I don’t really understand by what Dad ans when he says Clearwater City isn’t your world. I told him I’d leave the city one door to travel with you. Can I?”
Mu Yu caressed Mu Xin’s head. “We’ll have to wait until you’ve grown up.”
“It’s a promise!” Mu Xin held out her pinkie.
“Pinkie promise?”
In the past, Mu Yu also did pinkie promises. Nowadays, he looked down on it as being childish. The thought highlighted how much his changing had changed since leaving Mount Dustfallen. Perhaps one could argue that the cultivation world was a catalyst for growth?
Mu Yu clumsily extended his pinkie and hooked it around Mu Xin’s.
What does it an to grow up? Does it an shedding old beliefs and replacing them with new ones? Does it an losing hope for the future and the world? Mu Yu contemplated.
“Sorry. Sorry!” Mu Yu suddenly clenched his fist, hoping no child as innocent as Mu Xin died during his carnage at Eastern Desert City. He believed he was evil. Alas, he could not accept being equally evil. Is one evil if they are not equally evil to everyone?
“Why are you apologising? You don’t have any reason to apologise to , Brother Mu Yu.”
“Xin, what sort of person do you think I am?”
“Eh… You’re incredible. You fight evil, are True God’s disciple and a hero of peace. That’s what Mu Hao tells .”
“How… is he doing?”
“He’s doing great. He says everyone at Formation Sect is nice to him. He always praises you for being able to do anything and touted as a prodigy of the sect. He’s now set you as the standard to surpass. He said he doesn’t want you to know as he kept telling you he’d never idolise you. Don’t tell him I told you that because he told not to tell you.”
Mu Yu reactively flashed his white pearls, albeit not knowing why he gave so much weight to Mu Hao’s perception of him.
Mu Zhexing entered the courtyard and patted Mu Xin on the head. “Xin, can you give us so room to talk?”
“Okay, Fourth Uncle,” responded Mu Xin, skipping off.
“You’ve changed a lot.” Mu Xin gave Mu Yu a smile and sat down next to his son. It was there – figurative ice. “What… sort of girl is she?”
“Hmm?”
“You never ntioned your girl to !” Mu Zhexing scolded in jest. “Your mother told not to set you up in any marriages for she hoped you could win the heart of the girl you lucked. Accordingly, I won’t dislike whoever you choose. I should know sothing about her when we et, though, right? Mr. Bai has been telling lots of stories about you.”
“What did he say?”
“He said you two are a perfect match, and that he’s really happy with you.”
“Really? He really said that?”
“Yeah, he said he’s happy to entrust his daughter to you. He said he wanted to hold the ceremony, but you refused due to our absence. Mr. Bai is a straightforward man; that’s a positive. He’s… not so ordinary man, is he?”
“What makes you say so?”
“I surmise he is Archfiend Baiyuan, correct?”
“You knew?!”
