Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Lucky Magic Eyes

"What's wrong with your house?"

The moustached youth tilted his head and stared at Mu Qianxue, questioning loudly.

Qianxue frowned and retorted, "What's going on?"

The moustache stared down at Qianxue, who leaned back and peered at the moustache, and in less than five seconds the moustache looked up and said, gloomily: "Pretend, keep pretending, it was announced all over the town yesterday but your house don't know."

"What announcement?" Mu Qianxue was really unaware.

"Qianxue-san, look on your door, it's posted there."

A handsome young man took a step forward, pointed at the courtyard gate and smiled.

Mu Qianxue went out to take a look, there was indeed a notice on the door. She read the notice carefully, to the effect that every household was required to send at least one person to join the patrol during times of emergency, and to submit the list to the City Defense Bureau before today. If no one could go, you needed to pay ten to fifty thousand Yuan.

"We didn't see it." After seeing it back, Mu Qianxue said coldly.

The moustache looked unhappy and asked fiercely: "Now that you see it, which one in your house is going?"

"I'll go."

Mu Qianxue returned the two words without the slightest hesitation and came to her brother's side.

"You've been assigned to Team Leader Chen. Wait for us to leave in the morning."

After saying that, the moustache turned around and left, the handsome young man smiled gently at Mu Qianxue and said: "Qianxue-san, I'll pick you up tomorrow, bye!"

The handsome young man's name was Lin Chen, the second young master of the Lin Clan, and a junior lecturer at Guya Academy.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that a few people were leaving, Mu Tianxun finally spoke.

Hearing the voice, Lin Chen foot slipped and touched the teenager, the teenager's unstable center of gravity pounced on the moustache, the moustache was caught off guard and knocked out of the door by the young man and fell into the snow.

"Seeking death..."

The moustache roared and slapped the teenager on the shoulder, and the teenager rolled out with a grunt. The moustache bounced back and continued to scold him: "Idiot, are you blind, do you not believe that I will cripple you with a slap."

"Boss Fujiyama, I'm the one who accidentally bumped into Kefan, so calm down."

Seeing the moustache walking towards the teenager, Lin Chen ran out to explain.

The moustache glared viciously at the young man lying on the ground and walked into the courtyard staring at Mu Tianxun.

Wooden Sky scratched his cocked head and said indifferently: "Is it okay if I go?"

"You go! Hahahaha... Lin Chen, did you hear that, the half-crippled boy said he's going, do you believe it, hahaha... Ha ha It's killing me!"

The moustache, as if hearing a big joke, laughed out loud.

The corners of Lin Chen's mouth lifted as he calmly said, "Fellow student Mu Tianxun, we are going on patrol and will need to fight if necessary, so I suggest you go read the announcement first."

Mu Tianxun lazily ignored Lin Chen and looked at the moustache and asked, "What will happen if we don't go?"

"Two ways, either hand over twenty thousand yuan right away or get out of Guya City right away."

The moustache was yelling like a fierce demon.

"Brother Tianxun..."

Mu Qianxue tugs at her brother's clothes and shakes her head gently. She knows the rules of the town. No one dares to fight against the authorities. Even if Lin is such a wealthy family, Lin Chen has to give moustache some face.

Mu Tianxun smoothly took his sister's small hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, saying, "Are there only two ways? paying the money is impossible, we choose to roll."

"What?"

The moustache shuddered and glared at Woody, and Woody said word for word: "We choose to get out of Guya City, can't we?"

Lin Chen returned to his senses and said with a smile, "Fellow student Tianxun, you can't make such a rash decision on such a big matter."

"Che, who are you to make decisions in your house." The moustache added, with a scowl.

Mu Tianxun looked back at his sister and said very seriously, "I'm not going to prevent telling the two of you, my father went away, my mother suddenly disappeared, I'm the older brother, naturally I'm in charge, my home was broken into, we're planning to leave this hellhole."

"Is this... Tianxun-san, are you telling the truth?"

As Lin Chen looked at the moustache, looking confused, Fujiyama stepped his head to the side and stopped talking.

Mu Tianxun sneered, "If you don't believe me, go see for yourself."

"I'm sorry Tianxun-san, wait, let's talk about it and think of something else."

Spotting something wrong, Lin Chen pulled the moustache back to the door and whispered: "Boss Fujiyama, in this situation with the family, there is no guarantee that the siblings will really leave, or else..."

"Let that loser patrol the mountains, if you want, what the fuck do I care."

"Boss, I thought you said someone was going to..."

"Haha, understood, that's it, you're in charge."

The two of them returned in agreement, and the moustache talked: "The city lord has always loved his people like a son, and we as subordinates have even more to do for the people, Mu Tianxun, just now you said you would go, I promise you, but you must be more careful when you enter the mountain."

"I'll be very careful and go slow."

Mu Tianxun squeezed his sister's hand hard. Qianxue's words were forcefully pinched back. Several people left. Mu Qianxue took his brother's hand and stared at him unhappily.

"The noodles are cold, so eat them first."

He found that his sister's small eyes were burning, and he turned around and slipped into the house to eat his noodles, but halfway through he couldn't continue, and when he looked up, his sister looked at him like a robot.

"Qianxue, you know, I can't cook food, and I'll starve if you go."

Mu Qianxue looked at the house and whispered: "Tianxun , but I don't trust you to go."

"Silly girl, brother is not awakened, but he's not stupid, it's okay, it's not like I'm alone."

"Then you must be careful."

Mu Qianxue was really helpless, this time she had to be separated from her brother no matter what, it's a good thing that the demon beast didn't dare to come out during the day.

"I will, just eat the noodles."

Qianxue picked up the bowl and ate it three by three. She found her brother counting the noodles one by one and asked softly, "Brother Tianxun, why were you outside the city?"

Mu Tianxun sought back to his senses, his eyes rolled around a few times and said, "I went out for a walk and accidentally scattered out of town."

"Brother Tianxun..."

Qianxue pursed her lips and knitted her eyebrows, giving him a hard look and asking, "Where's mom?"

"Mom went to get you and never came back, where's Dad?"

Mu Tianxun didn't quite dare to wonder where his mother had gone, and there were signs that she was hiding something from him.

"Dad he's...he's off on an errand and won't be back for a short time...where will Mom go?"

Where would Mom go, Tianxun was more interested in knowing the answer.

"Qianxue, let's go to the Drunken Strong Bar."

The Drunken Strong Bar, one of the strongest demon-slaying organizations in Guya City, and of course, one with a mix of dragons and snakes.

"Did they rescue us?"

Mu Qianxue's eyebrows furrowed and stared at her brother.

The drunken strong bar rescue was charged, and it was not a small amount, and Qianxue knew that the family would not have much money, and now that a thief had entered the house, how could there be money to pay the fee.

"No, let's go find Mom."

With a blank glance at his sister, Mu Tianxun sucked the last few noodles into his mouth, got up and headed out the door.

"Brother Tianxun , who saved us?"

"Who was it..."

When Mu Tianxun came to the courtyard, he looked back at the roof and a beautiful figure flew away, he smiled and said, "If you want to know, call me brother and I'll tell you."

For three years, Qianxue had always called him brother Tianxun, and he had been angry about that, but now it seemed that the little ninny knew his true identity as well.

"..."

"I was besieged by monsters, desperately trying to escape, suddenly I smelled... heard voices, went over and saw it was you, why were you outside the city?"

After a long silence, Mu Qianxue remembered that she was being chased by two flying demon beasts, and if she hadn't smelled her brother's wood air, she would have died, but why would he go outside the city? And who saved herself and her brother?

"Qianxue , aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid."

"Then why did you risk your life to protect me?"

"If I live, Brother Tianxun must live."

"You..."

Tianxun shouted and pivoted his legs to run away.

Once upon a time, I was Qianxue's older brother, and despite ten thousand reluctance, I was able to shamelessly accept my sister's protection, but now that I know I'm an imposter, it's very unpleasant to remember that Qianxue would even risk her life for him.

For the past three years, he has been bullied by outsiders. He has bullying his own sister a lot, but Qianxue has never taken it personally, so he is a shameless brother.

"Brother Tianxun, slow down."

Mu Tianxun's speed was much faster than before, but Qianxue came to him with a flash. The difference between awakening and not awakening was really big.

The siblings went to the Drunken Strong Bar, which was closed, and the doorman said it was closed last night.

The most luxurious bar in a small town. How could it just close down like that? Was it capricious or was it just a cover-up?

Standing outside the door, Mu Tianxun exhaled heavily of hot air, his thick eyebrows raised, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible golden light, and everything inside the bar was in full view.

After the seal was lifted, Tianxun found an additional artifact in his consciousness, and after attempting to activate it, everything was clear as far as the eye could see, the flaw was that the artifact had to consume a lot of Yuan Qi after activation, and the viewing range was just dozens of kilometers.

However, he didn't activate the artifact when he left the house before, but he vaguely sensed that there were Qi fluctuations on the roof, and from this, the artifact might have other functions, which Mu Tianxun called the Lucky Magic Eyes, meaning magic eyes that could bring him good luck.

As his vision wandered, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary except for a few aunts chattering in the fourth floor dormitory.

"Qianxue, let's go around the city."

"Why?"

Qianxue stared at him with a pair of confused little eyes.

"Look at the night view."

At a loss for how to explain this, Mu Tianxun transformed back into his former self and faintly replied back, pulling out his legs and running to the east of the city.

The town was built on a mountain, narrow and long, so he only had to take three points to see if his mother was in trouble or out of town, but unfortunately, he could not find any trace of his mother even after exhausting his Yuan Qi.

"Qianxue, mom doesn't want us anymore."

When he got home, mu Tianxun was exhausted. He took a small bench and sat by the door. The door was not closed. The cold wind whistled across his handsome cheek and poured into the house. His hands supported his white chin, and his dark eyes looking into the dark night sky.

He didn't want to doubt his mother, but....

Emotionally, he always remembered the ruthless woman from his previous life - his so-called real mother.

Before the crossover, he was an orphan with a mother and a father. His mother hated his father's poverty and abandoned them to marry a rich man. Soon after, his father went away to work in other places, when he was five years old.

The rest of his life was more than miserable for him, and he didn't understand how he survived. In any case, he lived to be twelve.

One day, he was fishing for loach by the river. A little girl in a purple dress floated from the upstream. He rushed to save the girl. As a result, he was washed into the river and floated to the sea.

When he woke up again, it was a thousand years later, and his beautiful mother treated him better than his sister, often making the carrot stew he loved to eat with red meat.

Dad lived away from his family, but he came home on time every month and the family was happy, but why didn't Mom want someone to pick up his sister and Dad?

At the very least, Mom trusted his sister, so why did she go to the bar? And where was she at this point?

"Tianxun, it won't, Mom will be back."

Mu Qianxue looked determined. Mu Tianxun glanced back at his sister, feeling very bored, and took a break to get up to the courtyard, squeezing the snowball and viciously throwing it at the small tree outside the courtyard.

After dropping a few strokes, he returned to the house to get a short knife and went out.
