I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 417 Could it be my heart?

Three days may seem like a long time, but to Bai A Niang and Bai Luozhi, it was just a blink of an eye.

During these three days, although the two pretended to be fine, Bai Luofu still noticed some clues.

However, no matter how Bai Luofu acted coquettishly and cutely, the two were unwilling to say more.

Bai Luofu just thought that she was about to leave and her sister and mother were reluctant to let her go.

Early in the morning, Bai Luofu went to Bai A Niang's residence happily, carrying the dark food that had been prepared before dawn.

However, it was all in vain.

Bai Luofu didn't think much about it. Bai A Niang was in charge of the clan affairs all day long, and it was common for her to get up early and go to bed late.

However, when she turned around and went to Bai Luozhi's residence, she still didn't see anyone.

“Is it so unpalatable?”

Bai Luofu's eyebrows slowly frowned as she spoke angrily.

Although she tried her best to be filial in the past three days, some things still depend on talent.

Especially the cooking skill.

In order to become a virtuous and sweet wife, Bai Luofu has been working closely with the kitchen these days.

However, this made life difficult for Bai A Niang and Bai Luozhi.

"Mom probably hasn't had breakfast yet..."

At this time, Bai Luofu's watery eyes rolled around, and she took her little feet and ran towards Grandmother Bai's residence.

"The young master hasn't been here these few days, so it saves me some trouble."

At this time, Bai A Niang and Bai Luozhi were also in Grandmother Bai's house.

But what surprised the two was that the eighth elder who had been the most clamorous in the clan hall was also here.

"Grandma, everything has been arranged over there. It's absolutely secret. How about I take the two clan leaders over there right now?"

The Eighth Elder's face was full of fat, and his facial features were so blurred from smiling that it was difficult to see clearly. He rubbed his hands and asked Grandma Bai.

Hearing this, Grandmother Bai nodded, then looked at Aunt Bai and the other two, and said in a gentle tone:

"This time you think it was me, an old woman, who forced you to do it, but next time, you might be the one begging me to make the arrangements for you."

As she spoke, Grandmother Bai waved her sleeves and a stream of milky white smoke shot out, instantly covering Bai A Niang and the other two. The white smoke disappeared in the next instant:

"Okay, let's cut off your connection with your natal Gu for now. Kikyo, I'm doing this for you..."

"Mom, Fu Fu has brought you breakfast, Mom~"

At this time, Bai Luofu's oriole-like cry came from outside the house.

Upon hearing this voice, Bai A Niang and the other two's faces turned pale, their legs went weak and they almost collapsed.

The Eighth Elder behind them placed his hands on the shoulders of the two, nodded at Grandma Bai, and disappeared into the house in an instant.

"Mom, are you awake?"

At the same time, the door was slowly pushed open with a creak, revealing a pair of bright watery eyes, blinking at the inside of the house.

"Hey, isn't this our little Fuhua? Come quickly, come to grandma."

Grandma Bai had a kind smile on her face, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she waved at Bai Luofu.

"Mom, Fu Fu made breakfast for you, come and try it."

Seeing this, Bai Luofu opened the door, jumped to Grandmother Bai's side, and placed the food in front of Grandmother Bai as if to take credit.

"Okay, okay, our little Fuhua has really grown up. Thinking about you leaving the Southern Region, my mother is so sad..."

"Mom, Fu Fu will come back to see you often..."

Bai Luofu's eyes became moist as she spoke. Thinking of the rules of the Yiwu clan, a woman who got married would belong to another family. She pursed her lips and said firmly,

"The little brother is a very good person. He will let Fu Fu go home to see her mother and mother."

As she spoke, Bai Luofu pouted slightly and secretly decided that she would never be like her elder brother who had not returned home since he got married.

"Okay, okay, our little Fuhua is the best." Grandmother Bai rubbed Bai Luofu's little head lovingly and murmured,

"It would be best if I could stay in the Bai family."

"Fu Fu can't bear to leave her mother either, but... my brother is the prince of Zhongzhou after all, how can he, how can he..."

Thinking of Li Mu, Bai Luofu's face turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to excuse Li Mu.

However, she did not notice that Grandma Bai's face gradually became gloomy, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

On the other side, the outskirts of the Poisonous Valley.

Li Mu had just come out of the Poisonous Miasma Valley when he saw three people flashing by in the distance. After a brief thought, he dropped the seven tree trunks as thick as adults on his shoulders and chased after them.

Two of them are naturally Bai Luozhi and Bai A Niang.

As for the person behind him, when they were watching the show in the Yiwu Clan Hall before, it was the fat black woman who danced the most happily. Li Mu was deeply impressed by her.

Especially her dark and fat appearance. If she wasn't wearing the unique clothes of the Wu clan, Li Mu would have thought she was a Rannu.

"Is this a plot?"

Li Mu used concealment tactics and followed the Eighth Elder only one person away, walking side by side with him, looking up and down at Bai Luozhi and the other two.

Seeing that both of them looked ready to die bravely, Li Mu could vaguely guess what was going on.

"You made an enemy and didn't stop me. You deserve it."

Li Mu didn't have a very good impression of Grandmother Bai and Mother Bai. If Bai Luozhi hadn't been involved, he would really want to see what this fat woman was going to do.

After clenching the copper coin in his hand, although he confirmed that Bai Luofu was still in the Witch Doctor Clan, Li Mu was too lazy to waste any more time.

Just as he was about to take action to deal with the fat black woman, a familiar voice came from the distance.

Hearing this voice, Li Mu's expression froze, and he turned around and disappeared on the spot.

"Eighth Elder is very punctual. Do you want to stay and join us?"

Miao Zhu, who was standing outside a thatched cottage, looked at the three people with a smile, and his eyes kept looking at them from time to time.

"Why is it the Miao chief? Where is the person I chose?"

The features on the Eighth Elder's face were squeezed together, but one could tell from her tone that she was somewhat dissatisfied.

"No, I am the same, right?"

Miao Zhu shrugged, his tone amused.

Seeing this, the Eighth Elder sneered, and without even looking at Miao Zhu, he grabbed Bai Luozhi and the other two and walked towards the thatched cottage.

"The effect of the medicine will take effect soon, so I won't disturb Chief Miao. It will take half an hour. I hope Chief Miao will hurry up."

After the Eighth Elder put Bai Luozhi and the other two in the house, he left the hut, mocking them.

Unexpectedly, Miao Zhu took a step forward and blocked the Eighth Elder's way. With a fiery look in his eyes, he smiled lewdly and said,

"Eighth Elder is not staying? Half an hour is more than enough..."

However, before Miao Zhu could finish his words, the Eighth Elder narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and sent Miao Zhu flying several feet away.

"Miao tribe leader better clarify his identity, my man is not dead!"

From a distance, Li Mu, watching this scene, subconsciously thought of some kind of unfair transaction.

"Could it be my heart?"

Li Mu thought that there might be something wrong with his thinking. There were so many ways to seek revenge, and this one was obviously stupid...

But what else could the conversation between the two of them mean if not that?

He looked at the fat and dark Eighth Elder, hesitated for a moment, then dispersed his hiding place and strode towards the thatched cottage.

"Who!" The Eighth Elder was the first to discover Li Mu. The aura around him instantly expanded, and the true qi wrapped in light pink smoke attacked Li Mu directly.

Li Mu kept walking without any movement. The Qi ball flying in the air suddenly stopped in the air, then returned to the original path and flew towards the face of the Eighth Elder.

Upon seeing this, the Eighth Elder's pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a stance, then shot out three streams of true qi in succession, which collided with the light pink air mass and exploded.

Shrouded in smoke and dust, a black pattern the size of a baby's fist appeared under the Eighth Elder's left eye. He then waved his sleeves and blew away the pink smoke and dust.

His eyes, as big as soybeans, stared at Li Mu intently, and he said suspiciously:

"Are you... the prince from Zhongzhou?"
