At this moment, the handsome face of the Titan slightly paled, his clear and cold eyes closed. The cold aura around him was no longer there, and it instead gave off a feeling that he was rather weak.
"I can't believe that even when I saw you before, you were still as cold and chilly as a blade's edge. But now, you're showing such a weak expression?"
Mu Yunyao hurriedly bent over and approached him, "Fourth Master? Master Four? " Yue Yang suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Mu Yunyao's neck, pressing her down onto the bed. Those eyes were cold and empty, without the slightest emotion as he coldly stared at Mu Yunyao. Boundless killing intent surged out like a mountain, as if he would kill the person in his hands in the next moment ...
Dying.
Mu Yunyao's face flushed red. She tried to break Duke Yue's arm but discovered that his hand was as hard as steel and it was impossible to move it by relying on her strength. Cough cough ... Ning Junyue! "
Yue Yang suddenly recovered his senses, the killing intent in his body retreated like a flood and he suddenly raised his hand to release Mu Yunyao.
"Cough cough ..." The choking made Mu Yunyao's vision darken as she covered her chest and coughed. Her body was so soft that she didn't have the slightest bit of strength to move it.
Yue Yang hurriedly reached out his hands to help her up: "Yunyao, how are you?"
Mu Yunyao gasped for breath before gradually calming down, "If you want to kill me then just give me instructions, why do it yourself?"
"Why would I want to kill you? Just now, I ... "I don't know what's going on either..." Yue Wang was at a loss for what to do, and when he looked carefully at Mu Yunyao, he noticed that a purplish-blue handprint had already been left on her neck, and her skin that was as white as jade was especially shocking.
Mu Yunyao came back to her senses and discovered that she was actually half-leaning against Wang Yue's chest. She hurriedly struggled to get up, but after standing up, she discovered that her legs had gone soft, so she sat back down.
"Are you alright?" Yue Yang reached out and grabbed her arm, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across her wrist. His eyebrows suddenly tightened, "Why is there a purple mark on your wrist too?"
Mu Yunyao was upset. Just now, the ice-cold killing intent from King Yue made her suddenly recall her previous life, and the dense shadow made her feel as if she was drowning in a cold pond. No matter how she struggled, it was impossible for her to escape.
Yue Yang looked at her carefully, his fingers carefully wrapping around her wrist: "Was it me who pinched it?"
Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at King Yue, hatred flashing through her eyes."It's not enough to kill me once, but you still want to kill me a second time?"
"Yunyao ...." King Yue's sensitive senses caught sight of that trace of hatred and his heart felt a fierce pain.
Mu Yunyao suddenly regained her senses and hurriedly calmed herself down. She stood up and tidied up her sleeves and skirt, "Just now, Fourth Master must have had a nightmare. Now that he has woken up, nothing serious has happened.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"I know. Lord Fourth doesn't need to worry. You've already woken up, so I don't need to stay any longer. Goodbye."
"Wait a minute, " King Yue stood up and stood in front of Mu Yunyao. His gaze swept across the wounds on her wrist and neck, and couldn't help but tremble."I ..."
He felt that he should say something, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it. Especially the hatred that flashed across Mu Yunyao's eyes, it made him feel as if he was stuck in his throat. Was it because of the interrogation, or was it because of something else?
"Master Four, I was scared just now, so please forgive me for not saying anything." Mu Yunyao bent down to pay her respects. Just as she was about to turn around and walk out, she saw blood dripping onto the ground."Your wound?"
Only then did Yue Yang feel a heart-wrenching pain from his back. He quickly shook his body and his face became even paler: "It should be torn apart ..."
Mu Yunyao wanted to turn around and leave, but when she saw King Yue's appearance, she found it difficult to even take a step."Fourth Master, sit properly to the side. I'll take a look for you."
Yue Yang hurriedly nodded his head: "Alright." The wound was indeed split open, and its edges were slightly red and swollen, making it look even more severe than before. She quickly cleaned up the wound, and once again bandaged it with medicine: "Fourth Master needs to be extra careful, don't make any big movements that might affect you.
"Wound."
King Yue, however, did not mind at all. After Mu Yunyao had helped bandage his wound, he turned his head towards her with a slightly perturbed look."I really didn't do it on purpose just now." He would rather injure himself than to hurt Mu Yunyao by even a little, why would he kill her so viciously?
Mu Yunyao bit the tip of her tongue lightly. The pain had completely calmed her down: "Fourth Master's eyes were empty just now, and his aura was chaotic. It's obvious that he hasn't fully awakened. I didn't take this matter to heart, so you don't have to mind, Fourth Master."
Seeing her expression, King Yue was disappointed, but he also knew that he could not force her."Earlier when I was in a trance, I thought I heard you call me Ning Junyue?"
Mu Yunyao's fingertips trembled, "No, how could I dare to directly call Fourth Master's name? You must have misheard me while you were daydreaming!"
A hint of laughter flashed past King Yue's eyes."Hmm, that's also highly possible ..."
"Master Four, you have a good rest. I'll take my leave first."
After Mu Yunyao left, Supervisor Qin walked in with the medicine bowl. When he saw King Yue's abnormally clear mind, he was happy."Prince, you're finally awake? "I couldn't wake you up just now no matter what. This old servant is worried sick about you."
"I've made Uncle Qin worry." Yue Wang thought about the hatred that Mu Yunyao had when she looked at him, and he seemed to be somewhat absent-minded."Uncle Qin, I asked you to send someone to investigate Mu Yunyao's identity again. Did you find anything suspicious?" Supervisor Qin shook his head."Miss Mu's identity is pure and simple, and there are no abnormalities. It's understandable that her temperament changed a lot after her father passed away. Many people's personalities would change more or less due to the excessive stimulation of their loved ones' deaths.
"Didn't her father go to the capital to earn a living? When he was drunk, didn't he fall into the river and drown?"
"The cause of death was due to this, but Miss Mu's father never drank alcohol while he was alive. Moreover, he was skilled in martial arts and often roamed the world when he was young. Some say that he was skilled in swimming and would often fish in the river during the summer to supplement his family."
King Yue's expression turned serious: "That means, it's possible that he was killed secretly by someone?"
"There is indeed such a possibility, and there is one thing that is rather strange. Miss Mu's mother was adopted by someone. Her adoptive parents seem like ordinary family members, but in reality, they are distant relatives of the old butler of the Su Clan. They are inextricably linked to the Su Clan in the capital." Su Clan? " Yue Yang suddenly remembered that Mu Yunyao had used the screen to trap the Su Family, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
