Chapter 1628: My Assistant

Mu Qing Ying’s face turned pale, she tried resisting, but Mu Xiao forced her into his arms .

“What should I do?” Mu Qing Ying was confused . At that moment, she really didn’t know what to think . She didn’t have feelings for Mu Xiao, and she only considered him an assistant . But without Mu Xiao, she wouldn’t be able to make imperial weapons and she’d lose face at the competition .

“How shameless . ” someone shouted at that moment . Mu Xiao suddenly flung himself away from Mu Qing Ying .

Mu Qing Ying was also startled, so she started running away . She looked around, but she didn’t know who was talking .

“Qing Ying, who’s that?” asked Mu Xiao, following her .

“I don’t know . ” said Mu Qing Ying, shaking her head . The wind suddenly felt cold now . She looked at Mu Xiao and said, “Mu Xiao, I’ll forget everything that happened tonight, and you can continue being my assistant . However, if you try to touch me again, I’ll get angry and I’ll drop out of the tournament after letting you go . ”

Mu Qing Ying wasn’t stupid . She understood why Mu Xiao was acting that way . Someone had shouted, and it was her wake-up call . She knew that she couldn’t sell her body to participate in the competition, she was more willing to give up if things were put that way .

Mu Xiao remained silent and lowered his head, but secretly he was furious . Who was ruining his plan this time?

“Lin Feng, it must have been Lin Feng . ” thought Mu Xiao . After thinking about it, he raised his head and said, “Miss Qing Ying, I understand, from now on I’ll make sure such things won’t happen again . I’ll just stay with you and protect you . ”

Mu Xiao was now pretending to be a protector . He knew that no matter what he’d say, nothing would work, so a protector was still a better status than a guard .

“Go and have a rest . In the future, you can’t come into my room without my permission . ” said Mu Qing Ying in a cold way .

“Roger, Miss . ” said Mu Xiao bowing . Then he went back to his room and closed the door . He felt like crying, but he was so angry that he couldn’t do it . Lin Feng had ruined his dream of making his dream girl fall in love with him . It was either Lin Feng or Mu Lin Xue, however, the voice they had heard was a woman’s voice .

Just like Mu Xiao had guessed, the voice he had heard was Lin Feng’s . They hadn’t gone too far, so Lin Feng and Lin Xue had heard them after they left .

Mu Qing Ying glanced around and then went back to her room . She didn’t know who had shouted but she also thought that it might have been Lin Feng . She didn’t understand why he was helping her though .

“Qing Ying is too naive and sensitive . ” whispered Mu Lin Xue, “You guessed right, Mu Xiao really is evil . ”

Lin Feng smiled but said nothing . He had gone through a lot in his life, so he understood people .

“You’ve probably done such things in the past too!” said Mu Lin Xue, laughing .

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and then smiled at her . “If you think so, I can do it to you too . ”

Mu Lin Xue smiled teasingly and said, “If you do that too me, I won’t reject you like Qing Ying rejected Mu Xiao though . ”

“Eh?” Lin Feng smiled wryly . She was somewhat cold to other people, but she was kind and gentle to him, she even joked with him .

“But thank you . ” Mu Lin Xue said after she saw Lin Feng looking embarrassed .

Lin Feng shrugged, he didn’t mind . He didn’t like Mu Qing Ying but they weren’t enemies either . If Mu Lin Xue hadn’t cared about Mu Qing Ying, Lin Feng wouldn’t have done anything for her . She was old enough to make her own decisions after all .

“Good thing she came back to her senses in the end, otherwise, nobody would have been able to help her . ” said Mu Lin Xue .

In the following days, Mu Xiao did his best to help Mu Qing Ying . They focused, and with more sweat, they made another imperial weapon . On the other-hand, Lin Feng and Mu Lin Xue didn’t make any weapons, they just chatted, laughed, sunbathed, and slept .

Finally, it was the day of the tournament . Mu Lin Xue came out of her room, looking at Lin Feng who was lying down in the grass with his eyes closed . She smiled and said, “Lin Feng, the clan called everyone, so we have to go . ”

“I’m coming too?” asked Lin Feng . Even though he had spent a lot of time there, he had only stayed with Mu Qing Ying or Mu Lin Xue . He felt like a stranger in the Mu Clan .

“Of course, they’re going to choose the people who will participate in the tournament . We’re a team, so we have to go!” said Mu Lin Xue smiling .

Lin Feng smiled wryly and stood up . Once again, many people were going to pay attention to him . Mu Lin Xue had a higher status in the clan, so him appearing with her might cause some issues .

“I have no choice then . ” said Lin Feng indifferently .

“You almost never go out, instead you work so hard to help me . ” said Mu Lin Xue in a gentle way . Lin Feng’s deployment spells were incredibly powerful, and he kept helping her without anyone else knowing . She almost felt guilty .

She knew that if she raised these concerns he’d just say, “I don’t mind being discreet . ” So, she didn’t say anything more, instead the two of them walked away with Mu Qing Ying and Mu Xiao behind them .

“Miss Lin Xue . ” said Mu Qing Ying . Mu Lin Xue turned around and smiled at Mu Qing Ying, “Qing Ying, you should come with us . ”

“Alright . ” Mu Qing Ying felt guilty because of what happened the other night . Even after that, Mu Lin Xue was still so nice to her .

“Miss Lin Xue, why is he…?” asked Mu Qing Ying, glancing at Lin Feng . Why was he coming with her?

“He’s my assistant, of course he’s coming with me . ” said Mu Lin Xue smiling . The tournament was going to start soon, so she no longer needed to keep it a secret . Before, she used to hide that fact because she feared someone from the clan would try to harm him . Though, if she had known how strong Lin Feng was from the beginning, she might have done everything differently .

“Your assistant?” Mu Qing Ying looked dumbstruck . Lin Feng was her assistant?

“Indeed . ” said Mu Lin Xue nodding . Mu Lin Xue was a genius in the clan, her fire, her deployment spells, her weapons, everything about her was incredible . Of course, nobody thought she was stupid, so her choosing Lin Feng must have meant that…? It meant that Mu Lin Xue was stronger with Lin Feng than by herself .

“How!” thought Mu Qing Ying . She was still under the impression that Lin Feng’s deployment spells were very weak .

Mu Qing Ying glanced at Mu Xiao, but Mu Xiao avoided her gaze . He looked like child who knew he’d done something wrong but didn’t want to admit it . She had the feeling that if she asked about it, it would affect their cooperation, and he couldn’t do that to Mu Qing Ying before the tournament .

“How… Could Lin Feng’s deployment spells be more powerful than Mu Xiao’s? Then…” Mu Qing Ying’s thoughts were chaotic . She felt like she had been fooled . On that day, Qing Ying had been pleasantly surprised by Mu Xiao, but maybe he had actually taken credit for Lin Feng’s talisman?
