Chapter 343 Mu Xin
In the Great Qin Empire, the Huahe Province located in the central region developed extremely well because it was adjacent to the imperial capital. It was the largest economic province in the central region after the imperial capital Chaoge.
In the northern part of Huahe Province, there is a small county called Liu County. Although it is only a small county, people in the magic world will never underestimate this small county.
Because in this small county town, the headquarters of the Nangong family, one of the ten great families in the Qin Empire, is located here.
To the north of Liu County, there is Beishan, and the entire Beishan and a large area of land around it belong to the Nangong family. The Nangong family's house is located on the top of Beishan.
All the way up the winding road, the heavy snow covered the surroundings with a layer of silver.
Huahe Province has four distinct seasons throughout the year, and it is snowing in most areas of the province today.
At the top of the mountain, a retro-style house covering an area of 500 hectares stands here, with a history of thousands of years.
Because before the advent of magic, the Nangong family was a major family in the Qin Empire and had an ancient history.
Unlike the withered grass and trees outside the house, the colorful flower branches protruding from the walls of the big house are eye-catching, and together with the snowflakes falling from the sky, they form a beautiful picture.
Entering leisurely from the vermilion main entrance, there is an antique corridor behind the huge courtyard. The servants of the Nangong family on the corridor walk briskly and have gentle smiles on their faces, which makes people feel happy at the first sight.
As he continued walking along the corridor, he saw individual courtyards everywhere, which were the residences of Nangong's people with the blood of the Nangong family.
At first glance, majesty and generosity coexist. When building this courtyard, the Nangong family obviously hired architects.
At this moment, in a certain courtyard.
Nangong Muxin, wearing a white mink fur, stood at the door of the house in the courtyard, staring at the falling snowflakes with a soft expression.
However, her face was too pale, as if she had just been seriously ill.
Thump thump thump…
There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and a girl in her twenties was seen walking quickly into the courtyard. When she saw Nangong Muxin leaning on the door frame, her expression suddenly changed.
"My eldest lady, how dare you come out? It's cold outside. Go back to the house quickly."
Then he pulled Nangong Muxin into the house without any explanation and closed the open doors and windows tightly.
Then she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Nangong Muxin: "Miss, if something happens to you, the head of the family will have to skin me!"
"You are joking again, my father would not do that." Nangong Muxin smiled.
"It's different. Miss, you are too weak now. If anything happens to you, I...I will regret it for the rest of my life."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears. Thinking of the pain Nangong Muxin had endured some time ago, the tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
"Oh, sister Huan, please don't cry. I didn't even cry." Nangong Muxin quickly comforted this sister who had always taken care of her: "I'm fine now."
Jing Huan wiped away her tears, looked at Nangong Muxin, whose face was not rosy at all, and then hugged her into his arms: "It would be great if I could bear the pain for you."
"Sister Huan, I'm really fine." Nangong Muxin said, "By the way, where is Xiaoxiaoha?"
"I have been following the master these days." Jing Huan added, "It is not suitable for you to get too close to Xiao Xiaoha now. This is the order of the master."
"Okay." Disappointment flashed in Nangong Muxin's eyes, and she was anxious for her to raise her head again. She hesitated and asked, "Sister Huan, how is the situation in the Hundred Schools Battle?"
Since returning from vacation, Nangong Muxin has been sleeping more and less awake, and has no idea about the outside world. It was not until yesterday that her health became much better, and today she can also walk.
"Are you concerned about your sister Beiming?" Jing Huan joked.
Nangong Muxin's face turned slightly red, but what came to mind was Su Yian's face.
Seeing the blush on Nangong Muxin's cheeks, Jing Huan's eyes flashed with light, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile: "Miss, is it a boy you are concerned about?"
"No, no!" Nangong Muxin said quickly, her eyes so panicked that she didn't know where to look.
Seeing Nangong Muxin's appearance, Jing Huan was more sure of her suspicions, but she did not continue to ask, but said: "Today is the semi-finals and finals of the school flag simulation competition for rookies. Not long after it started, we are going to see?"
"Yeah." Nangong Muxin nodded hurriedly. Seeing the narrowing in Jing Huan's eyes, she quickly said, "I care about Sister Beiming."
"Today is the rookie battle, and your sister Beiming won't be playing."
"Sister Huan!" Nangong Muxin said coquettishly.
"Let's go home and take a look."
The courtyard house where Nangong Muxin currently lives is not her residence. Apart from simple furniture, there are no other items here, and naturally there are no spatial windows.
Jing Huan used magic power to isolate the wind and snow, and took Nangong Muxin back to her courtyard and entered the house. Jing Huan opened the space window and said, "I'll go get the lady some water."
Then he hurriedly left and came to the largest courtyard.
"Xiaohuan, how is Mu Xin?"
As soon as Jing Huan entered the courtyard gate, a gentle voice sounded in front of him, and he quickly bowed: "Mother."
Under the oil-paper umbrella is a graceful woman wearing a white dress. Her appearance is similar to Nangong Muxin. She looks about thirty years old.
The woman with the same gentle demeanor is the wife of Nangong Yi, the head of the Nangong family, and the mother of Nangong Muxin, Yin Zhujun.
Similarly, she is also a great magician-level strongman.
"The young lady is in better health than yesterday. She can already walk, and she is not so drowsy." Jing Huan reported.
Yin Zhujun's eyes lit up: "Really? I was just about to go see Muxin... By the way, what are you doing here?"
Jing Huan remembered Nangong Muxin's shy expression just now, so he said: "The young lady... may have someone she likes."
"Hmm?" Yin Zhujun raised her eyebrows slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Really?"
Of course she knew about her daughter's situation. She had been living in seclusion since she was a child. Although she called Beiming Zhiyao and others sisters, she didn't have much contact with them.
It can be said that Nangong Muxin didn't have many friends, and the reason why she was sent to Tianji Magic Academy was, on the one hand, to open Nangong Muxin's horizons, and on the other hand, to let her make more friends.
Although she also wanted Nangong Muxin to stay with her, Nangong Yi said that it was better to let her see it, and she felt that her husband's consideration made sense, so she agreed.
At this moment, when she heard Jing Huan say this, the first thing she thought of was naturally the students of Tianji Magic Academy.
Thinking of the report that the secret guards told them when Nangong Muxin bought Tianji Magic Academy to study, Yin Zhujun thought of a boy in her mind.
"This girl has grown up..."
Yin Zhujun's eyes flashed with a smile, and then she took a step: "Let's go and take a look."
...
Nangong Muxin was standing in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast of the simulated battle for the school flag, and her eyes were fixed on Su Yian without blinking.
"Brother Yian is also on the court, what's going on?" Nangong Muxin thought strangely: "The opponent is Brother Qian, Brother Yian won't lose..."
Nangong Muxin was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice Yin Zhujun and Jing Huan coming to the door at all.
Yin Zhujun looked at the figure on TV and thought, "It's Su Yian."
She had received reports about the relationship between Su Yian and Nangong Muxin at school. She didn't think much about it at first, but now it seems that it's not the case...
Because Nangong Muxin only pays attention to Su Yian, not Nangong Qian. If she had the same respect for Nangong Qian, she would never be like this.
But...
"Does Su Yian have a girlfriend?" Yin Zhujun asked Jing Huan.
Because Nangong Muxin went home, she didn't pay attention to Su Yian during this period.
"Yes." Jing Huan said, "His girlfriend is Beiming Zhiyao, and Chu Anlan, who is known as the [Princess of Song], has expressed his admiration for Su Yian in public many times. Su Yian is very famous during this period."
Hearing this, Yin Zhujun frowned slightly. Beiming Zhiyao is a girl she admires very much. It is rare for her to have such high achievements at such a young age. Her future achievements are limitless.
She actually likes Su Yian, which means that Su Yian is indeed outstanding, not just a student in Class 5.
She also knew Chu Anlan. Her singing voice was indeed beautiful, and she also appreciated the deep meaning in the lyrics. She didn't expect that this orphan girl also liked Su Yian. It was a little unbelievable.
But now, she was more worried about her daughter.
Nangong Muxin was ignorant of the world. If she really got involved in this relationship, she would definitely lose miserably. Whether it was Beiming Zhiyao or Chu Anlan, Nangong Muxin could not defeat them.
Moreover, she didn't want her precious daughter to become a third party.
But she wouldn't say it directly. She knew Muxin's temperament. If she said everything clearly, it would probably be counterproductive.
Thinking of this, Yin Zhujun walked into the room: "Muxin, what are you watching?"
"Ah!" Nangong Muxin was startled, and jumped lightly like a frightened rabbit, and then quickly turned off the TV, as if she was afraid of being discovered.
Seeing her daughter trying to hide her true feelings, Yin Zhujun felt worried, but she still had a smile on her face: "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? Why are you blushing? What are you watching, baby?"
"The Hundred Schools Competition." Nangong Muxin blushed and lowered her head, hesitating.
"Muxin also likes to watch this kind of competition?" Yin Zhujun smiled: "This is not something to be nervous about. How about mom watching it with you?"
"Yeah." Nangong Muxin nodded: "It happens to be Brother Qian's competition!"
"Is that so? Then we have to see Nangong Qian's performance." As she said this, she thought in her heart: "I'm afraid he only has eyes for Su Yian."
Jinghuan went over to turn on the TV again, and then stood respectfully behind the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa.
