Four Skills for All.

"I heard you, but..."

Mo Xiu gently stroked Mu Qingyi's cheek with his right hand and said, "I'm standing at the main entrance, firstly because I'm afraid you won't be able to find me, and secondly because I don't want to leave you any way out."

Mu Qingyi lowered her head and said, "You're so mean!"

"You've been hesitant to make a decision, so I'm forcing you to. If you want to come with me, it doesn't matter if the leaders see it; they'll find out sooner or later. If you don't want to come with me, I'm just showing them that I've done you a favor."

Mu Qingyi said softly, "Mo Xiu, you know I don't like being forced by others."

Mo Xiu replied, "Am I someone else?"

"I don't know how to say it, but..."

"Don't you want to come with me? Wild beasts are about to invade. You should know that I'm not comfortable leaving you in the north."

Mo Xiu stepped forward and supported Mu Qingyi's shoulder, making her look up into his eyes.

"Will you come with me?"

Mu Qingyi shook her head frantically, and Mo Xiu had no choice but to let go of her hands. He realized he had been a little too excited and should have given Mu Qingyi some time to consider.

"You can consider it; I can wait."

Mo Xiu's time is very tight, and he may not have time to wait, but Mo Xiu is willing to wait.

The two remained silent facing each other for a while, then Mu Qingyi suddenly smiled and said, "You haven't properly explored the Holy City yet, have you? Shall I show you around?"

Mu Qingyi seemed to have forgotten Mo Xiu's question and skipped over it without giving any response.

Mo Xiu didn't know what Mu Qingyi wanted to do, but he still nodded subconsciously.

Mu Qingyi pulled Mo Xiu back to the Holy City, and they really started to explore from the outside in.

It was late at night, and even though this was the capital of the north, the streets were deserted.

Mu Qingyi didn't care, and pulled Mo Xiu along, stopping and starting, introducing the story of each building.

Mo Xiu suddenly stopped, and Mu Qingyi took two more steps forward before slowly turning around.

Still wearing a gentle smile, she asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"

Mo Xiu took a long time to speak.

"I came to see you, but no matter how beautiful the scenery here is, I won't be able to see it."

A bad feeling spread in Mo Xiu's heart and fermented during the shopping trip. It finally erupted at this moment. Mo Xiu did not want Mu Qingyi to avoid the problem. He hoped to see Mu Qingyi think about it seriously, even if the final result was not good!

Mo Xiu's tone was not very good, and this was the first time Mo Xiu had spoken to Mu Qingyi like this.

Even though Mo Xiu's attitude wasn't very friendly, Mu Qingyi still smiled and said without pausing, "Yes, it's such a long way from Yancheng to here, you must be tired. Shall we find a place to rest?"

"what?"

Mu Qingyi's words confused Mo Xiu. That wasn't what he meant, so why was he pretending to be stupid?

Mu Qingyi stepped forward and pulled Mo Xiu, but Mo Xiu did not move.

"What's wrong? Aren't you tired?"

Mo Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm not tired!"

"Let's go, it's so late, we should go to sleep."

Mo Xiu remained unmoved, stubborn as a child.

"I'm not sleepy, I don't want to sleep."

Caught completely off guard, Mu Qingyi suddenly threw herself into Mo Xiu's arms.

Mo Xiu was taken aback, then quickly hugged him.

Mu Qingyi looked up into Mo Xiu's eyes, and Mo Xiu's heart softened immediately.

"I'll stay with you... Aren't you sleepy yet?"

With the blessing of the God of War form, Mo Xiu seemed to have lost all his defensive power at this moment.

He had no resistance whatsoever to the woman before him.

Mo Xiu subconsciously followed Mu Qingyi to a hotel, and after entering the room, he hugged Mu Qingyi tightly.

While the two were chatting, Mu Qingyi lay on the bed looking at Mo Xiu.

"It's really getting late, time to sleep!"

Mo Xiu sighed heavily and said, "Even though you're here with me, I still don't want to sleep."

Mu Qingyi's face flushed slightly, and she said coquettishly, "You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent! If you don't... Ah! Mo Xiu, don't you know how much you weigh? And you still... Ah! Jump over here!"

The night was a long one, and not a single word was spoken.

······

In the early morning, Mo Xiu slowly opened his eyes in bed.

Mu Qingyi had already left, and Mo Xiu neither stopped her nor could he stop her.

Mo Xiu did not sleep that night. Although his eyes were closed, he stared intently at Mu Qingyi with extreme concentration.

Just now, Mu Qingyi left without waking Mo Xiu, who was pretending to be asleep.

She simply touched Mo Xiu's lips lightly with her warm, red lips.

Get dressed.

I walked to the door.

A glance back at the doorway.

Mo Xiu knew everything, but he didn't open his eyes.

Mo Xiu was afraid that if he saw Mu Qingyi, he would forcibly take her back to the Central Region, which would mean he would no longer respect her opinion and would become the kind of person she hated the most.

At this moment, Mo Xiu lay on the bed, looking towards the door, where Mu Qingyi's figure seemed to still be visible.

She seemed to be there.

That place within reach.

······

Three days.

Mo Xiu lay in bed for three whole days.

Perhaps Mo Xiu has never wasted his time like this since he was born.

Mo Xiu was still hoping that Mu Qingyi would change her mind and leave with him, but she never came back.

I stood up and tidied myself up.

This is not the end. There will be other opportunities to meet in the future. I was unable to take you away this time.

When the war ends, when I have achieved fame and success, when no one dares to oppose me in anything I do, I will come back to take you away.

Please take good care of yourself during this time!

Mo Xiu left the hotel, glanced at the location of the palace, and smiled silently.

I know you're watching me too!

Mo Xiu did not leave immediately, but instead followed the route that Mu Qingyi had taken that night and headed out of the city.

Back then, you said you couldn't remember beautiful scenery, but now it seems I remember every single word you said.

As he walked, three figures appeared and blocked Mo Xiu's way.

Mo Xiu frowned, said nothing, and tried to bypass the group and continue walking out of the city.

The three of them were deliberately blocking Mo Xiu's path.

"What do you three mean by this?"

One of them said, "Mo Xiu, I've seen your picture. I didn't expect the rumors these past few days to be true. You came to the Holy City because of Mu Qingyi, right? Judging from your heartbroken look, you got dumped?"

Mo Xiu smiled but didn't say anything. "Shake it off? It's just a temporary separation!"

"What are you laughing at? Our surname is Bobo. You should know what the surname Bobo means when you come to the north, right?"

Mo Xiu looked up but did not answer their questions.

"You know what? After meeting Mu Qingyi in the Holy City this time, I've felt like something's not quite right, which is why I'm still reluctant to leave. Do you know what it is?"

One of them said, "Is there even a question? They can't bear to part with Mu Qingyi, what else could it be?"

Mo Xiu shook his head seriously and said, "No, it suddenly dawned on me when I saw you all!"

"What is it?"

"I'm so angry, I have nowhere to vent!"
