Chapter 710 - 711 - People from the Eastern Chu State"Your poison is indeed powerful, but your poison tactics are much too simple!" Mu Jin"s voice was very faint, and faintly contained a kind of warmth as the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
Su"er didn"t believe it as she pressed her face against Mu Jin"s chest until she heard the powerful heartbeat.
"You really didn"t die!" Su"er walked out from the shadow just now. Then, her teary eyes revealed a hint of anger: "Hmph, did you purposefully scare this G.o.ddess just now?"
It must be him. Otherwise, why would the surrounding branches stop moving?
"If I didn"t scare you, would you tell the truth?" In the face of Su"er"s displeasure, Mu Jin"s reply was actually extremely natural.
"Then have you been following me all this time?" Su"er used her sleeves to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes. It was too embarra.s.sing.
It was all that scoundrel"s fault for purposely scaring her so much that she thought she was about to die and that she would never see her mother again.
"Girl, you"re very smart, but it"s not useful on the right path!" Mu Jin did not deny it.
"I just don"t have a father, but I still have a mother. I"m no different from the other children, so I don"t need you to teach me!" With regards to Mu Jin"s words, the Su"er was actually a little sensitive. After that, he struggled to get down: "Let go of this G.o.ddess, this G.o.ddess will leave by herself!"
This seemingly unintentional sentence from the Su"er had completely exposed the truest thoughts in the bottom of her heart.
She looked innocent, but in reality, she cared a lot about the fact that she didn"t have a father. She saw how hard it was for her mother to raise her, so she liked to ama.s.s wealth everywhere. In her eyes, money was a safeguard, a way to fill the gap in her heart, the gap in her father!
Seeing that the Su"er was not willing to be carried by him, Mu Jin bent over and put the Su"er down.
However, when Su"er"s legs touched the ground, she felt that because of the fear just now, her legs were weak, and she was not willing to walk on this black mountain road, following that, she pouted and grabbed onto Mu Jin"s sleeves, and said softly: Mother said that men and women should not be intimate with each other, but I think that your character is not bad, I will let you hug me for a while!
After Mu Jin heard this, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. This clever one didn"t want to leave, so he gave himself an excuse.
Immediately after, Mu Jin hugged Su"er in his arms again, the tip of his feet lightly touching the ground, his light and graceful body under the pitch-black moonlight, graceful and calm as he shuttled back and forth.
Honestly speaking, the only men who had hugged her before in this world were her grandfather and master, but this was all when she was young. Now that she felt like she had grown up, she didn"t want her grandfather and master to hug her.
She didn"t want others to treat her as a child. She wanted to grow up quickly and fight alongside her mother, killing all the bad people and even chasing away those who spent their mother"s money in Jade Clan.
But when he was carried by Mu Jin, Su"er felt as if she was being hugged by her own father. For some reason, she wanted to rely on him.
She didn"t know what her father looked like, but her mother had once described him as a gentle, extremely talented man.
The embrace was always warm and wide, and the tone of her voice when she spoke to her mother was always filled with a faint warmth.
She felt that these descriptions were the same as the old grandpa hugging her right now. The old grandpa"s embrace was so warm, so wide and comfortable. When he spoke to her, his tone was also low and warm.
Most importantly, it was just like what his mother had said. She was extremely beautiful!
The only thing that doesn"t look like it is hair!
No no no, I can"t call him grandpa now, I should call him weird uncle!
The two of them returned to the village without a word. Mu Jin originally thought that Su"er had fallen asleep in his arms, but when they reached their destination, his pitch-black eyes actually sneaked a peek at her!
"Let"s sleep first tonight, we"ll go find those bandits together tomorrow!" Mu Jin carried Su"er and sat on a chair, then gently stroked her wrinkled clothes, his tone was still indifferent, no one could tell if it was distant or cold.
"Are you going to rob their little treasury too?" This strange uncle of hers was indeed travelling together with her.
Mu Jin smiled, then took out the silver mask from Su"er"s bosom and put it on her face: "They robbed my remaining carriage, I have to go and retrieve it, if not we will have to use it on this journey!"
The Su"er immediately thought of the Great Master"s words and looked at Mu Jin with his pitch-black eyes: "The Great Master said that you are from the Clear Water Pavilion, is the pavilion very powerful? Is it stronger than the Heavenly Demon Pavilion? "
Mu Jin looked at the pair of eyes of the Su"er that were filled with curiosity, and asked with a profound gaze: "Where are you from?"
If Su"er came from a remote place or even a few small countries or tribes, then he would forgive him for not knowing anything about the Clear Ming Pavilion.
This man always wanted to find out where she was. Her mother had repeatedly warned her not to say anything about the underworld clans, even if they were being stabbed in the neck.
"I am from Eastern Chu State!" Since her mother was from Eastern Chu State, then so was she.
Eastern Chu State? This country that was destroyed a few years ago had completely disappeared from the world.
When Mu Jin suddenly heard this word, the bottom of his eyes suddenly stirred.
When the Southern Yue and Western Ling were about to attack the Eastern Chu State, although he did not directly help the Eastern Chu State, but he had more or less helped the Eastern Chu State in secret. It was a pity that the Eastern Chu State did not have any useful talent, and there were very few capable people.
In the past, those Eastern Chu State either ran around to escape or died in the flames of war, while some became slaves, but he believed that there were still some other Eastern Chu State that hid themselves.
He had lived a life that was cut off from the rest of the world, and it was very likely that the Su"er had escaped into a deep mountain with her mother in order to avoid the flames of war. He didn"t know anything about it, so he didn"t know that the Heavenly Demon Pavilion was just a teashop, and even more so didn"t know what had happened in the past few years among the three nations.
