Before leaving Tongcheng, Mulan helped Jiang Li and bought a lot of delicious food, and then she personally drove the carriage in front and left Tongcheng.
Jiang Li sat cross-legged in the carriage. He quickly looked around with his mental energy and found that the spiritual energy that had just been consumed in his body was strangely replenished.
"That's probably why I'm in so much pain."
Jiang Li murmured to himself that after being cursed by the undead, Ling Qi was like poison to him. Therefore, when he took action, while consuming Ling Qi, because of the automatic function of Zixiao Tianlei Jue,
When it is running, it will automatically absorb spiritual energy, which is why he is in such pain.
Not long after the journey, Mulan hired a carriage driver at an inn, and then she got into the carriage and sat side by side with Jiang Li.
"Why, do you think driving a carriage is boring?"
Jiang Li asked with a half-smile. His little senior sister had the fragrance of orchids on her body. When she got in, she brought a light fragrance.
"According to the coachman's estimate, it would take three days and three nights to get from Tongcheng to Tianquan Peak, regardless of day or night. This Xihua Prefecture seems to be much larger than our Dongsheng Prefecture."
"For such a long journey, you can't let me, little senior sister, drive the carriage in the dust all the way, right?"
Mulan was wearing a beautiful pure-color glazed dress, and her whole body exuded a lively and innocent atmosphere.
"That's true."
Jiang Li nodded seriously, then he held his chin with both hands, turned his head and stared at the fair-faced Mulan for a while.
Feeling her junior brother's unabashed gaze, Mulan lowered her pretty head slightly, and two red clouds flew up unconsciously on her delicate cheeks.
"Little rascal~ Bah, little junior brother, you...what are you doing..."
Obviously, Jiang Li's direct gaze made Mulan unable to resist.
"There are many boring moments in a long journey. Now that I see my young senior sister's beautiful face, I feel refreshed and energetic."
Jiang Li whispered, not pretending to be coy at all.
"Hmm... I didn't expect that, little junior brother, you are indeed a little pervert. Now your fox tail is exposed."
Mulan blushed and raised her head to stare at Jiang Li. When she found that his eyes were still burning, she quickly lowered her head.
"Senior Sister...can you tell me the ins and outs of your marriage?"
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze and stopped teasing the little girl Mulan.
Although this little girl usually behaves carefree, she is actually very sensitive inside.
Hearing the sound, the two red clouds on Mulan's delicate cheeks gradually flew away.
She took two deep breaths, opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the green trees passing by outside the window, casting sparse shadows under the sunlight.
Occasionally, there is a flash of delicate red flowers.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Seeing the sadness on Mulan's face, Jiang Li felt a little uncomfortable.
Everyone has their own story.
Some stories can be told, but some stories are only suitable for being buried deep in the heart.
Until it is gently blown away by the wind of time.
"My marriage... was a complete tragedy."
Mulan was still looking at the scenery outside the car. The cool wind blew on her delicate cheeks, which made her inner grief lessened a lot.
She stretched out her catkins and wanted to catch the wind.
"My family is considered a third-rate family in Luzhou of the Dali Dynasty. There is an ancestor in the family who is in the Dao-breaking realm. The ancestor is actually very good to me."
"But when our ancestor participated in the border battlefield against the demons, he suffered from serious physical problems."
"Ancestor is the backbone of our Mu family. Now that problems have arisen, all parties have begun to look at him with eager eyes. Many families are ready to take action."
"Especially some families who had grievances in the past have begun to test our Mu family constantly."
Mulan told the story carefully, her tone was very gentle, like a gurgling clear stream. It was plain and sweet, but there was a hint of sadness that could not be suppressed.
After hearing what Mulan said, Jiang Li seemed to have already made some guesses about what would happen next.
In the world of spiritual practice, there are many sad songs.
A family is destroyed at every turn. How many innocent people are inexplicably implicated?
How many people have sacrificed their personal interests for the sake of family peace?
Mulan paused for a while. Jiang Li took out a pear, peeled off the skin with a knife, and handed it to Mulan.
Mulan glanced at Jiang Li, her younger brother, with some emotion, and then slowly took the pear from his hand.
Her little cherry mouth took a quick bite on the pear, and her white teeth quickly chewed up the pear flesh.
After finishing the pear, Jiang Li quickly took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Mulan to wipe the corners of her mouth.
Then Mulan paused for a moment, then continued: "In order to ensure the peace of the family, our Mu family took the initiative to seek marriage alliances with other families that have strong men in the Dao Breaking Realm."
"When my Mu family took the initiative to seek marriage, it happened that the Zhao family, who was also in Tangcheng, was also seeking marriage. So the two families hit it off and decided to get married."
"But the direct son of the Zhao family has been wandering around the alleys of fireworks and willows for many years, and has all kinds of concubines in his house. He has a nasty character and bad conduct. Moreover, I heard that he often whips the women he likes. He is extremely perverted."
"How can I accept such filthy trash? However, the interests of the family come first, and the cries of a little girl like me, even the elders of the family, have turned a deaf ear."
"Even my grandfather, who has always been very kind to me, chose to remain silent. Isn't this silence a kind of acquiescence?"
"I was heartbroken and shed tears every day. My aunt also didn't agree with this marriage, but she was a soft-spoken woman. Every time she spoke, she was scolded by my father for being a woman."
When Mulan said this, she couldn't help but shed two lines of pearly tears uncontrollably.
"well."
Jiang Li sighed slightly. Every unfortunate person has his or her own misfortune. Young Senior Sister's past was so tragic.
"In the end, my mother asked me to run away from my marriage. She told me to go as far as I wanted and stay anonymous. I would never go back to the Mu family again."
"Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong. A mother can always show great strength when protecting her children."
"With my mother's careful planning, I successfully escaped from the Mu family, Tangcheng, Luzhou, and the Dali Dynasty, and finally came to Dongshengzhou in the Qin Dynasty and worshiped my master."
"Unknowingly...three years, like water, slipped from my hands, but I couldn't catch them anymore."
"In the first few months after I left home, I was resentful of my family and did not miss my hometown. But as time went on, I felt more and more lonely."
"I began to miss my mother, my brothers and sisters, my grandparents...I even missed my father who looked a little gloomy."
"After experiencing many things, I suddenly seemed to understand something. My father and grandfather, they really had no choice, so they chose to use women in exchange for the stability of the family."
"If someone in the family must sacrifice, why can't it be me? Someone must stay in the darkness and become an insensitive tool? Why can't this person be me?"
"I often ask myself, and I realize that I am so selfish. I once read a sentence, if I don't go to hell, who will? Some things always have to be done by someone."
"If you sacrifice one of me, you can buy the long-term peace of the family, so why not?"
"With this thought, I decided to return to the Mu family to take on the responsibilities I should bear."
When Mulan said the last sentence, her eyes gradually became tougher.
