Chapter 53 Of course I am praising you
Su Chenyin sneered in his heart, thinking that Mu Lingyu still suspected them. This question of Mu Lingyu clearly showed that he was suspicious of them.
She exchanged glances with Jun Yijue, and a flash of alertness flashed across her eyes, but was quickly hidden deep in her calm eyes.
Jun Yijue was calm and composed, as if Mu Lingyu's doubts were just a passing breeze and did not shake him in the slightest.
"Now this matter is spreading everywhere in the streets and alleys. Since we know about it." Su Chenyin replied calmly, without a trace of emotion in his tone, "However, we were resting in Fuxuan Building last night and did not go out. I am afraid that we cannot provide any useful clues."
Jun Yijue nodded slightly and agreed, "That's right, we were together last night. If Saint Mu doesn't believe it, you can go to Fuxuan Building to ask."
Mu Lingyu nodded slightly, with a hint of consideration in his eyes, as if he was judging whether their words were credible.
After a while, he smiled and said, "In that case, I will not bother you any more. However, if you remember anything in the future, please let me know. Qianluo Palace will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Of course." Jun Yijue responded calmly, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
The two turned around again, and this time Mu Lingyu did not stop them. He watched their backs gradually disappear in the crowd.
After they walked away, the smile on Mu Lingyu's face gradually faded, and a deep and complex look of thought flashed in his eyes.
He always felt that these two people were not simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He thought he should send someone to investigate secretly to see if he could find any clues.
"Son of God, do you think these two can be trusted?" A disciple from Qianluo Palace at the side asked curiously.
Mu Lingyu glanced at them, shook his head slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Whether you believe it or not, it's hard to say now. Send someone to secretly watch them and report to me immediately if there is any situation."
"Yes!" The disciples of Qianluo Palace retreated in response and quickly carried out the order.
At this time, Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue, who had left, did not enter the Fuxuan Building, but strolled on the bustling streets.
There was constant noise all around them, and bustling crowds passed by them, but they seemed to be out of it, calm and indifferent, as if the noise had nothing to do with them.
Su Chenyin occasionally glanced sideways, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, as if he was wary of something.
At this moment, Su Chenyin suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning, fixed sharply on the corner of the street.
A figure flashed by, as if spying on them in secret.
"Yinyin, what's wrong? Yinyin, did you also notice that someone was following us?" Jun Yijue immediately noticed something strange about Su Chenyin and asked softly, his tone full of concern and vigilance.
"Yeah." Su Chenyin responded in a low voice, her eyes still fixed on the corner where the figure disappeared, "It seems that after we left Mu Lingyu, someone has been watching us in secret."
"I guess that person should be the spy sent by Mu Lingyu to monitor us."
Su Chenyin turned around and looked at Jun Yijue, with a sly and meaningful smile on his face: "Haha... Jue, it seems that we have become his main focus."
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, and she obviously didn't care about Mu Lingyu's little tricks.
Hearing this, a cold light flashed across Jun Yijue's eyes, and then he returned to his calm expression.
He smiled slightly, his eyes as deep as the sea, and said calmly: "It's okay, Yinyin, as long as we act cautiously and don't reveal any flaws, he won't be able to stir up any waves."
Su Chenyin nodded slightly, and the two continued to move through the noisy crowd as if nothing had happened.
In the shadow of the street corner, Mu Lingyu's eyes were fixed on Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue's every move, but he did not see anything unusual about them.
In fact.
Their hearts, however, were as deep as ancient wells. They had already sensed his presence, and the smiles on their lips became more and more distinct, as if they were enjoying this game of cat and mouse.
In the bustling streets.
They seemed to be strolling around carefree, occasionally picking up small items from the stalls to play with, or stopping in front of a snack stand to taste something, just like an ordinary young couple.
Su Chenyin picked up a string of candied haws, turned to Jun Yijue and said with a smile: "This candied haws is sweet but not greasy. Ah Jue, would you like to try it too?"
Jun Yijue smiled slightly, took the candied haws she handed over, and tasted it briefly.
Sudden.
Su Chenyin's eyes suddenly lit up and her gaze fell on a stall selling masks. She saw that the masks were strange and well-made.
"Ajue, there is a small stall selling masks over there, let's go take a look." With a smile on her face, she pulled Jun Yijue towards the stall not far away.
The two came to the mask stall. Su Chenyin picked up a fox mask and put it on. He turned around and smiled mischievously at Jun Yijue: "Ajue, how is it? Does it look good?"
Jun Yijue looked at Su Chenyin's playful appearance wearing the fox mask, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled, "Well, it looks good, and it suits Yinyin very well."
After Su Chenyin heard this, her smile deepened. She took off her mask and picked out a lion mask and handed it to Jun Yijue: "Ajue, you should try it too. I think this one suits you very well."
Jun Yijue took the lion mask from Su Chenyin's hand, raised the corner of his lips slightly, and then put it on gently.
The lion mask revealed a touch of agility amidst its majesty and domineering, which contrasted with his eyes as deep as the stars. In an instant, he seemed to have transformed into a majestic lion king.
Su Chenyin looked at Jun Yijue's appearance under the mask and couldn't help laughing. She gently took his arm and laughed like a bell: "Haha, Ajue, you are so funny like this. You look so majestic, like a lion king, full of domineering aura."
Jun Yijue's mouth corners slightly raised under the mask, and he looked at Su Chenyin, who was smiling like a flower, with eyes full of doting. His voice was low and teasing: "Yinyin, are you praising me or making fun of me?"
Su Chenyin smiled, blinked her eyes, deliberately put on a serious face, and responded jokingly: "Lulu... Of course I am praising you, Lion-faced King."
The three words "Lion-Faced King" slipped out from Su Chenyin's lips, making Jun Yijue laugh softly. He shook his head gently and took off the mask casually.
Then, his slender fingers gently scraped across the tip of Su Chenyin's nose, and his tone was extremely doting: "Yinyin, you are naughty!"
At this time, the owner of the mask stall smiled and said, "Haha... you two are a perfect match. I'll give you these two masks. Just think of it as adding some joy to my stall. I hope you will be happy forever."
The boss's words made Su Chenyin's face blush. She secretly glanced at Jun Yijue and saw that he had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Thank you very much, boss." Jun Yijue thanked him with a smile, took out some spirit stones and put them on the stall, "Boss, this is what we should give."
The boss looked at the spirit stone that Jun Yijue handed over, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he tried to refuse it repeatedly, but finally accepted it at Jun Yijue's insistence.
"Well, okay, take care, both of you." The boss took the spirit stones and watched the two of them leave hand in hand with a smile on his face.
