Chapter 82: Unknowing Love  

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

The books inside the old palace were collected in one place, which was enchanted with Luo Futu’s spell, so although the place occasionally changed owners in the past years, the books stored here were well preserved and not damaged.

Zhou Yan flipped through the books and felt a little disappointed, the books were not well documented, most of them were about spell cultivation, and only a few strokes were written about the calendar. Zhou Yan read the books for half a day, but only saw a sentence from the book, saying that there was something bad outside the boundary, do not cross the boundary.

Bad things… Of course he knew that there was miasma outside the boundary, and people would die if they got infected. But was the “bad thing” here the miasma or not? Was there something else besides miasma? He wanted to know the definite answer.

But there was none.

Zhou Yan sighed in disappointment when Luo Futu suddenly came up from behind him and rested his chin on Zhou Yan’s shoulder, “Didn’t find what you were looking for?”

“Yeah.”

Zhou Yan looked at him sideways and raised his hand to gently stroke the side of Luo Futu’s face, “I want to know the world outside the boundary. Ever since I knew there was such a thing as a boundary, I felt like I was living a life that was unreal. There must be some big secret out there, otherwise why would the world be shrouded in miasma?”

Luo Futu was happy that Zhou Yan would now actively make physical contact with him from time to time, which was great.

He didn’t notice at all if touching him just now was like touching a pet.

Luo Futu pondered for a moment, “Do you think the miasma outside is man-made?”

“Haven’t you thought about that possibility?”

Luo Futu laughed a little, “If there really is such a person, then he is already strong against the odds, not something we can deal with.”

–Well, that makes sense, if there really was a higher-dimensional creature watching them with a magnifying glass, what could he do even if he knew the truth? Could he jump up and fight with them?

“It’s just my curiosity…”

Zhou Yan finished with a sigh, packed up the books and put them back on the shelf.

Luo Futu agreed with this statement, “Your curiosity is always very strong. But scientists are all like that, right? How else can they make scientific inventions?”

Zhou Yan laughed a little, “You are talking more and more like a modern person now.”

Luo Futu frowned slightly, “You’ve been treating me as an ancient person?”

“You were.”

–Primitive.

Zhou Yan said and walked out of the room where the books were hidden, and Luo Futu followed him before he said, “I’ve been improving the seeds of wheat recently, and when I succeed, I’ll start planting them. It’s spring now, so if we don’t plant it, we won’t have any food to eat this year.”

Luo Futu is not too concerned about the time, “There is no food to eat, so just let Mystics get some first.”

“No, you can’t always let Mystics feed ordinary people, you have to gradually teach them to be independent.”

Zhou Yan looked at him and said helplessly, “We agreed to create a healthy society, we have to start today, we can’t just get by.”

Luo Futu could only nod, Zhou Yan was so diligent, he couldn’t drag his feet.

The two people chatted about their plans afterwards, while walking outside, passing by the churchyard, Zhou Yan suddenly heard the sound of a crisp bell, looking up, only to find the right protector in a red veil swinging, the bell sounded from her ankle silver bell decoration.

Mu Lian had the kind of look that was bright and valiant, and she is very good at dressing herself, open and confident, as bright as a burning flame.

Luo Futu’s voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Yan’s ear, “No vision, I obviously look better than her.”

The same time he spoke, he also reached out and cupped Zhou Yan’s jaw and forced him to turn his head to look at him.

–So many times, Zhou Yan has gradually gotten used to being read by Luo Futu, and gradually not so much reaction.

He looked at him with some amusement, “Before, you complained that I was only attracted to your face, and now you want to emphasize your face to me?”

Luo Futu frowned, “Who told you to stare at her?”

Zhou Yan gently pushed Luo Futu’s hand away with his hand and turned his face back again, “When was I looking at her? I was looking over there.”

Luo Futu followed his line of sight and found that it was Zuo Guofu and Bai Yueqing. Bai Yueqing was holding a bow and arrow in his hand and was aiming at the target in front of him, while Zuo Guofu was standing behind him, almost hugging Bai Yueqing and correcting his archery movements.

“…” He felt so blind after accidentally seeing the scene of his men ruffling an Omega.

Luo Futu frowned, just wanted to speak, but Zhou Yan spoke first, “What age is this, still use bow and arrow, simply intentional.”

Luo Futu looked down at him and heard Zhou Yan muttering, “When did they hook up? Bai Yueqing hasn’t even been here for a few days yet, that’s fast enough…”

Luo Futu couldn’t help but laugh a little, “I think it’s good.”

–Bai Yueqing was also one of his invisible rivals.

Zhou Yan frowned and thought, “Are you sure it’s good?”

“What, you can’t let go?”

Zhou Yan said expressionlessly, “I’m not interested in either of them, but… I think the right protector is not quite right.”

“Hmm?”

Luo Futu then went to look at Mu Lian sitting on the swing, he saw her sitting there swinging, very leisurely, then said, “is not quite normal, she does like to play swing.”

“It seems you usually don’t care much about the mental state of your subordinates.”

–But Zhou Yan couldn’t tell what was wrong with the right protector, and he couldn’t give Luo Futu a concrete answer.

“Forget it, it’s not our business, let’s go.”

Zhou Yan finally shook his head and dragged Luo Futu away.

“Zuo Guofu has a sense of proportion, even if he falls in love, it won’t delay his mission.”

Mu Lian did not notice the arrival of Zhou Yan and Luo Futu, she was not in the mood to care about others, she was very annoyed, inexplicably annoyed – usually sitting on this swing would be pleasant, but seeing this scene in front of her, Mu Lian could not be pleasant.

When she used to sit here on the swing, there were only two people here, she and Zuo Guofu. She was playing and Shuang was practicing his sword, it was always like this since childhood.

She didn’t expect today to be a little different, one more person…

Bai Yueqing was after all an Omega, he practiced for a while and got tired, smiled and said he wanted to go back to rest, Zuo Guofu then let him go back first. The place was not far from Bai Yueqing’s residence, so Zuo Guofu did not send him.

After Bai Yueqing left, Zuo Guofu came to the swing, looked at Mu Lian and asked, “When did you come here? The Spirit Master has a mission?”

Mu Lian looked at him for a moment in silence and suddenly smiled, “When you see me you can only think of the mission…”

Zuo Guofu looked at Mu Lian suspiciously, the latter suddenly jumped down from the swing, the grape-like bells on her feet emitted a crisp sound. Mu Lian looked up and stared at Zuo Guofu’s face and asked, “Do you really like him?”

Zuo Guofu reacted to the fact that Mu Lian was referring to Bai Yueqing and narrowed his eyes somewhat warily, “What do you want to do?”

“This servant can’t do anything, the Spirit Master has not allowed me to kill him.”

Mu Lian gave a delicate laugh, “I’m asking you, left protector, do you really like that Omega?”

Zuo Guofu didn’t hesitate and nodded, “Yes, he’s very nice.”

“That’s good… Since you like him, then this servant likes him too.”

Mu Lian finished and suddenly sighed softly, “Never seen you like this before, you really like him.”

He had never smiled so silly before.

Mu Lian has been observing them since Zuo Guofu told her that he liked Bai Yueqing, and she really wanted to know whether Zuo Guofu’s liking was a whim or a real liking. She found that whenever he was with Bai Yueqing, Zuo Guofu was happy.

It was that smile, a smile she had never seen before.

“Yes, I never lie.”

Mu Lian wondered, “But why?”

Zuo Guofu’s serious face then showed an expression of deservedness, “He is the first person who is good to me.”

Mu Lian listened and suddenly felt a nameless fire running straight to his heart, her expression twisted for a moment and finally pulled out a hard smile, “You mean, the Spirit Master is not good to you? He has raised you so much, is it not good for you?”

She was tempted to ask, “Did he treat him badly?” Whenever he was punished, she helped him plead for mercy, whenever he made a mistake, she helped him finish the job, Zuo Guofu also helped her… She thought they had that kind of tacit understanding, a lot of words did not need to be said, but did not expect that it was self-imposed.

Just look at this person, just a little better for him, let him fall completely.

He fell too fast, right?

Zuo Guofu realized he had said the wrong thing and corrected himself for a moment in silence, “That’s different, the Spirit Master is very strict, but Bai Yueqing will care for me, will shush me, he is very gentle.”

–But he also cares for anyone and is gentle to anyone.

This Omega, originally, was a gentle person.

Bai Yueqing was good to everyone, only Zuo Guofu couldn’t avoid this kind of kindness…. Mu Lian has seen many Alphas who would indulge in the Omega’s tenderness, but never thought that Zuo Guofu would surrender so quickly.

Mu Lian lowered her head in silence for a while and laughed, “Good, really good, the left protector finally found his true love, this servant here congratulates you first. I wish you a hundred years of good fortune and a son soon.”

Zuo Guofu did not understand Mu Lian’s meaning, he felt that she was strange, but the latter had no intention of explaining. She turned and lightly leaped up the wall, as the tinkling silver bell became quieter and quieter, the right protector had left. – Mu Lian… didn’t seem too happy.

In Zuo Guofu’s memory, Mu Lian was always smiling and happy, and she was rarely unhappy, so her unhappiness – or sadness – was actually easy to catch.

Zuo Guofu frowned, but he had never been good at guessing hearts.

He really didn’t understand.
