shuhaige. net Chapter 436: I Can Be Your Dog

If it's fine, Your Highness, please go ahead.

Mu Yuanzhi interrupted Pei Shangling's fantasy, went around him and walked straight away.

The two children also ignored him, tugging at their mother to speak, and Gu Rongjin ignored Pei Shangling even more.

Considering what Pei Shangling has done before, any compensation would be justified, but no rule says accepting compensation means accepting the person himself, right?

This is all what Pei Shangling deserves!

Pei Shangling's face fell, he felt disheartened for a moment, then pulled himself together again.

"I won't give up, Azhi! It's fine if you don't acknowledge me as your brother! I can be your dog! Always at your beck and call! Never give up!"

Pei Shangling shouted loudly from behind.

His voice was too loud; even Yueyun over there heard it.

She showed a shocked expression.

I've never seen such a shameless person……

What an eye-opener!

She was going to look for the Qilin; Qiao Chu's matter needed to be settled, and she had to give an explanation to her junior disciples and the patriarchs.

"According to sect rules, exile him." said the Qilin.

"Master, what if Qiao Chu turns into another Ruohua?"

Locking him up in the Back Mountain would not only boost Qiao Chu's strength, but also plant a hidden danger for Juechen Valley.

Qilin: "You're right."

He thought for a while, then said: "Then just lock him directly in the dungeon."

Yueyun nodded.

"Master, are you feeling better?"

"It's nothing, don't worry, go attend to your affairs."

"Disciple, I'll take my leave first."

Yueyun went out and closed the door.

"Miss Yueyun!"

Yueyun was startled by the sudden appearance of Pei Shangling and asked, "What are you doing here, Your Highness?"

He asked warily.

"Nothing much, is the Qilin alright?" Pei Shangling asked.

"The Master is naturally fine; he's formidable, this small matter is nothing to worry about." Yueyun said.

"May I go in to see him?" Pei Shangling asked again.

"No!" Yueyun frowned, "The Master said not to see visitors casually; Your Highness, please return."

She hadn't forgotten the Master's warning to stay away from this person.

"Miss Yueyun..."

"Your Highness, please go back; don't waste your efforts here, the Master won't see you, and I won't make an exception!" Yueyun interrupted Pei Shangling sternly.

"Don't you want to be like an ordinary person, Yueyun?" Pei Shangling tossed out a tempting topic.

Yueyun furrowed her brows at Pei Shangling, saying nothing.

"You like the Qilin, right? If you were like any other maiden, being with the Qilin would be a perfect match of talent and beauty, a heavenly pair." Pei Shangling stepped closer, continuing to coax: "I have a way, as long as you act as my insider."

"You're overthinking, Your Highness; I would never betray the Master!" Yueyun's whole face turned fierce.

"Miss Yueyun, don't misunderstand; I'm not that kind of person. I just have some misunderstandings with the Qilin and want to clear them up, but he won't give me a chance, and I really have no other option but to seek your help." Pei Shangling said sincerely.

"Your Highness, your schemes are too obvious; alas, I'm just an ordinary person, my people are all like that, and besides, I respect and admire my Master, not what you claim." After making this solemn declaration, Yueyun turned and left without looking back.

Pei Shangling didn't expect Yueyun to reject him.

Although he was lying.

"It was my rashness, Miss Yueyun; you wouldn't want your Master to lose a friend, would you? We used to be on good terms!"

Pei Shangling wasn't lying; when they first met, they really were on good terms.

Yueyun was half-believing, half-doubting, but she wouldn't easily trust Pei Shangling's words.

"The Master has his own reasons; if you're truly sincere, you should seek his forgiveness yourself instead of trying to buy me off here!"

Yueyun stopped listening to Pei Shangling, walked straight away, and no matter how he shouted from behind, it was useless.

……

This path also leads nowhere……

If we could mend our relationship with the Qilin, we'd get twice the result with half the effort.

Pei Shangling sighed.

He glanced inside the room.

Actually, he also feels a bit guilty, even though the human swine incident wasn't done by his current self.

Anyone who saw such a horrifying scene would not remain unmoved.

Until the day Mu Yuanzhi left Juechen Valley, Pei Shangling never got a chance to meet the Qilin alone, and he also had to return to the capital.

Wherever Azhi went, he followed.

And now he was secretly hiding aside, observing Mu Yuanzhi.

"Qilin, that's enough, no need to see me off." At the boarding place, Mu Yuanzhi said reluctantly.

"Senior Sister..." the Qilin, utterly unwilling to part, already had tears in his eyes.

"You're such a big person and still crying, little Qilin!" Gu Rongjin couldn't help but tease.

"You're the one crying!" Qilin rolled his eyes at Gu Rongjin, then facing his own senior sister, he reverted to a spoiled expression: "Senior sister, I don't know when we'll meet again after this parting!"

"We'll be able to meet next New Year." Mu Yuanzhi also felt reluctant to part.

"Who knows? I thought we'd meet soon before, but after parting, it turned out to be three years."

He now finds it hard to leave Juechen Valley; he can only wait for his senior sister and the others to come find him.

"Sure, keep hope in your heart."

"All right, little brat, don't be so clingy; we need to get going."

Gu Rongjin knew that these two senior sister and junior brother would drag out their farewells; the more they talked, the more reluctant they were to leave, and in the end even he felt reluctant.

"Gu Rongjin, you must take good care of my senior sister and my two disciples." Qilin solemnly admonished Gu Rongjin.

"No need for you to say; this is the meaning of my life."

Gu Rongjin's words put Qilin at ease.

"You need to take care of yourself more, Qilin—don't overdo things, alright? If anything happens, write to tell me, and you..." Mu Yuanzhi glanced around, then leaned close to Qilin's ear: "The fifteenth matter, I'll study it thoroughly when I return; there will definitely be a solution."

"Mm, I believe you, senior sister." Qilin nodded, glanced at Pei Si and Cao Cixiu waiting on the boat, and said to Mu Yuanzhi: "Are they also coming back with you?"

Mu Yuanzhi: "Mm, anyway we're going the same way; more people means more mutual support."

As for this affair at Juechen Valley, Pei Si and his group seem trustworthy; I just don't know what their intention is in going to such lengths to befriend us.

She still didn't understand.

"All right, go on—you should go back and rest properly, Qilin."

"Senior sister, goodbye!"

"Grand Master Yuan Yan!" Mu Yuanzhi called out loudly to the monk seeing them off not far away: "Please take good care of my junior brother!"

"Please rest assured, Princess." The monk nodded.

"Why are you calling him? He won't stay here long; he'll leave soon." Qilin said.

"Really? Where is the Grand Master going?" Mu Yuanzhi asked.

"Who knows? He's bound to leave anyway—he's not from Juechen Valley." Qilin said, "Goodbye, senior sister, take care."
