A rare opportunity

Chapter 158 Mu Chengqi's Choice

Although Mu Xue felt a little regretful, he was also happy for Li Yu. In his mind, his father always kept his word and would definitely do what he promised! Even if he wanted to go back on his word, he would force him to build a space artifact for Li Yu that could store living things!

Mu Chengqi saw Li Yu put the powder box into his arms and said:

"Oh! By the way! I heard from Xue'er that you are not originally from Tianxing City. I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

Just because Mu Chengqi returned the Jade Bee, Li Yu's hostility towards him eased a little, and he immediately bowed and said:

"So that the senior knows that I am indeed not from Tianxing City. I am staying here temporarily because I have some unfinished business in Tianxing City. When I am done with this business, I will prepare to return to my hometown."

"Oh? I heard that you have no relatives left, and only a few shabby houses. And you are already well-known in Tianxing City, and your future is limitless. Why do you want to go back?"

Mu Chengqi asked.

"It's just an empty reputation, don't take it seriously! I have no relatives or friends here, and I'm being manipulated by others. It's better to return to my hometown and be free!"

Li Yu replied.

"Oh? Didn't you say you were often bullied in your hometown? It's better here than back home, right?"

Mu Chengqi asked doubtfully.

"That's different! Even though I was often bullied in my hometown, it was still my hometown after all. But here, if I associate with those dignitaries, I might lose my head at any time and die in a foreign land!"

Li Yu shook his head.

Mu Chengqi was shocked! He didn't expect that this boy was so calm at such a young age! You know, some young people forget themselves and become arrogant once they have achieved a little success. They even indulge in the world of flowers and can't extricate themselves! And Li Yu's state of mind made him look at him with a new perspective! It's just a pity! It's a pity that he met Mu Xue! It's a pity that Mu Xue seems to be inseparable from him!

He immediately praised:

"It's rare for a young person to have such a state of mind! Hmm...how about this, you come back with us and stay...well, stay by my side?"

Mu Xue had begged him to take Li Yu in before, but he didn't agree at that time. But after this period of contact, he was quite satisfied with Li Yu. As long as he could go back with him and stay by his side, he wouldn't have to worry about Mu Xue! At this time, he even thought of passing on all his skills to him and let him inherit his mantle!

Mu Xue was naturally very excited when she heard this! She looked at Li Yu eagerly, hoping that he would agree.

In fact, Li Yu was also somewhat tempted! But after thinking about it, he shook his head and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior! But I cannot follow you back for the time being. My father was framed and killed by the government. As a son, I should avenge my father! After I have avenged my father, if I am still alive, I will definitely go to you, Senior!"

In fact, Li Yu wanted to return to his hometown because he wanted to find out the truth about his father's murder and seek justice for his father. In his memory, his father was definitely not an unforgivable villain. But he never quite understood why the government wanted to kill his father!

He had this vague thought all along, but he only expressed it clearly today. It wasn't because he thought Mu Chengqi looked amiable and made him reveal his thoughts, but because he was Mu Xue's father! He thought of his own father through him, so his vague thoughts became unusually clear at this moment!

Seeing his determined look, Mu Chengqi knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh! He thought: Oh! Don't say I didn't give you a chance, you are asking for death!

Immediately sighed:

"Oh! What a filial child!"

Then he turned to Mu Xue and said:

"Since the little brother is determined to avenge his father, we should help him. Xue'er, come back with me first, we will wait for the little brother at home!"

He wanted to make a final effort. As long as Mu Xue was willing to go back with him and never meet again, he might be able to let Li Yu go.

However, Mu Xue shook her head and said:

"Dad! Can you go back first and let me accompany my brother to avenge my uncle?"

Mu Chengqi stared at Mu Xue for a long while, then nodded expressionlessly! He had to agree! He knew Mu Xue's character. Once she had made up her mind, she would not be pulled back! This was the same as his sister Mu Chun! You know, this time, he ran away secretly because he insisted on following his brothers out, and he was stopped by me. It took me half a year to find him. Even if I didn't agree, he would still run away. Instead of that, it would be better to follow him first.

He immediately stood up and said with a smile pretending to be relaxed:

"Okay then! I'll go back first. I hope you can get revenge as soon as possible!"

Li Yu and Mu Xue were both a little surprised! Mu Xue never thought that her father would be so easy to talk to! Li Yu was a little unbelievable! It was so hard to find her child, how could she just leave him like that? Although she was a little confused, she didn't think about it. She stood up with Mu Xue and followed Mu Chengqi out of the clinic.

Standing in front of the clinic, Mu Chengqi was silent for a long time before he said to the two of them:

"You guys go back! I'll go back to the inn first and will be back tomorrow. Please take care of yourselves!"

After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.

Mu Xue looked at her father's lonely back and couldn't help wanting to catch up with him. But after looking at Li Yu beside her, she finally watched him leave with tears in her eyes!

Bai Shouwu, Fei Guangsheng, and Jin Fu were also a little surprised to see Mu Chengqi leave alone! Isn't he Li Ya's father? Isn't he here to find Li Ya? Why didn't he take him away?

The three looked at Li Yu and Mu Xue eagerly, hoping that they could explain. But the two didn't seem to have that intention at all, they just nodded to the three and returned to their rooms.

However, Mu Chengqi turned the corner and did not return to the inn as he said, but went straight to the City Lord's Mansion!

The next morning, Li Yu was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door. In the dim light, he could hear Jin Fu mumbling:

"Who is it? Why are you knocking so early in the morning? Wait a minute!"

"Stop talking nonsense, the city guards are investigating the case, open the door for me!"

The knocking on the door became louder, accompanied by a burst of shouting and cursing!

Jin Fu suddenly woke up! He shuddered and shouted hurriedly:

"I'm coming!"

Li Yu stood up and looked out of the window, only to see a dozen ferocious city guards rushing in under the leadership of a commander.

The commander stood in the middle of the yard and shouted:

"Li Yu! Who is Li Yu? Come out here!"

Li Yu was stunned! What was going on? Did they find him so quickly?
