A rare opportunity

Chapter 157 Mu Chengqi

Although Li Ya likes them in his heart, he knows what these jade bees mean to Li Yu. These jade bees can be said to be Li Yu's lifesavers! You know, they have rescued Li Yu from danger many times!

He immediately pushed the powder box back to Li Yu and said:

"Brother! What do you mean by return the property to its original owner? This is my sister's thing, why are you returning it to me? You should keep it! I won't miss her when I see it!"

Li Yu, who was already reluctant to part with the powder box, felt that Li Ya's words made sense. But after all, the powder box belonged to someone else, and it felt a little inappropriate to take it for himself. For a moment, he held the powder box in his hand, not knowing what to do.

The old man had learned a little about Li Yu's life from Li Ya, and knew that he was a lonely beggar. According to his thinking, most people like him were selfish and greedy. He was not interested in Li Ya's proposal. It was only after Li Ya's pleading that he decided to meet him and was ready to give him some money and send him away.

But after they met, he found his daughter's belongings on him, which made him feel disgusted with Li Yu and he wanted to slap him to death! It was not because he really thought Li Yu was the murderer of his daughter, but because he thought Li Yu had desecrated his daughter's belongings!

Seeing that Li Yu was willing to hand over the powder box, the old man thought that Li Yu was just pretending to be modest and retreating in order to advance, so he rolled up his sleeves and rolled the powder box over!

Li Yu was shocked! Although he was reluctant to give up, he had no choice. He was not reluctant to give up the powder box, but his jade bees! After all, the powder box was not his own thing, so it was only natural to return it to someone else. But those jade bees were the closest thing to him in the world besides Li Ya! However, this time, not only Li Ya, but even his beloved jade bees would leave him!

He immediately sighed and said to Li Ya:

"Brother! Please take good care of my jade bees in the future! We are parting ways now. I will not see you off when you leave!"

After that, he bowed deeply to the old man, turned around and prepared to leave! He had to leave quickly, he already felt his eyes red and his nose sore! If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and shed tears in front of them!

At this moment, Li Yu was like an abandoned stray dog, looking so desolate, lonely, and distraught, it was heartbreaking!

When Li Ya saw this, she couldn't help but burst into tears! She snatched the powder box from the old man and choked up:

"Brother! Wait! I won't leave, and I won't leave you!"

As he spoke, he chased after him!

When the old man heard this, a fierce look flashed across his face, and a murderous intent appeared on his face! But then he changed his face to a smiling one, dodged and blocked the door, and said with a smile:

"Haha! Not bad! Not bad! Xue'er is a good brother! Come on, let's sit down and talk!"

"Xue'er?"

Li Yu looked at the smiling old man in confusion.

"Oh? It seems that you don't know Xue'er's name yet! I am Mu Chengqi, and this brother of yours is my young...son Mu Xue!"

The old man thought that by telling his name, Li Yu would be shocked! But he forgot one thing, Li Yu was not from the cultivation world, and it could be said that he had almost no connection with the cultivation world! Therefore, he just bowed politely and said:

"Little... I meet Senior Mu!"

Originally Li Yu and Li Ya, no now they should be called Mu Xue!

Originally, Li Yu and Namu Xue were brothers, and wanted to call himself nephew. But thinking of his previous behavior, he always felt that he didn't want to get close to him, so he changed his words halfway.

Seeing her father's changed attitude towards Li Yu, Mu Xue was naturally happy! As for how Li Yu addressed her, she didn't even notice.

Mu Chengqi naturally felt Li Yu's alienation, but he didn't care! He had no intention of paying attention to him, but because of Mu Xue, he had to pretend to be nice to him.

He immediately laughed and said:

"Hahaha! You're welcome, little brother. Let's sit down and talk slowly!"

Li Yu's inner thoughts: Chat? What else is there to chat about? You must take the person with you. Do you want to leave the powder box behind? It's inevitable that there is some desire in my heart, but in the end I still know that it's just a luxury!

Whether he admits it or not, from Mu Xue's perspective, he is his elder. Since the other party wants to chat, as a junior, it is not easy to refuse. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he could only sit down silently! As for Mu Xue's words about staying with him, it was just a childish remark and could not be taken seriously! As a father, no one wants to see his children wandering around outside!

Seeing Mu Xue sitting next to Li Yu, Mu Chengqi's face was gloomy, and he felt even worse! Looking at Mu Xue's posture, it might be difficult to separate the two. He had already made up his mind that he would not let Mu Xue make the same mistake again!

When he appeared in front of the two of them, he became smiling again!

Mu Chengqi smiled and said:

"Little brother, don't be restrained! I heard from Xue'er that you treat him like a brother and take good care of him. I am very grateful! Just now, I was reminded of you by the things you saw, and I lost my composure a little. I hope you won't blame me!"

Li Yu immediately stood up and bowed:

"Juniors don't dare!"

"Hahaha! Little brother, since you are Xue'er's brother, you are my junior. There is no need to be so polite!"

Mu Chengqi immediately put his hands on Li Yu's shoulders and smiled. He seemed amiable!

Mu Xue also smiled and said:

"Brother! Relax a little, Dad isn't as fierce as you think!"

Mu Chengqi rolled his eyes at him and said:

"It's really no big or small!"

Then he turned to Li Yu and said:

"My little brother! I know you can't bear to part with your jade bees. It's reasonable for me to give you a powder box since you've taken care of Xue'er for so long. But after all, it's a relic of my beloved daughter. Keeping it will also leave a memory for an old man like me. Well... let's put this powder box here first. When you have settled your jade bees, you can return it to me. Or I can make you another object that can store living things, and then exchange it for you, how about that?"

When Li Yu heard this, he was overjoyed! He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Thank you, senior!"

He immediately took the powder box, and his depression was swept away! You know, these jade bees are not just jade bees, they are the one he relies on to survive until now!

He immediately took the powder box carefully and put it in his arms! Let's not talk about when to return the powder box, as long as he can keep his jade bees! The reason why he asked Mu Xue to take care of the jade bees was that he had no choice. He couldn't carry several boxes of jade bees everywhere every day, right? Besides, he might not be able to carry them all!
