Chapter Seventeen

Ai Lu bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was holding back something: "Then...thank you so much for your advice."

Immediately afterwards, the two of them remained quiet for a long time. Apart from the sound of wind passing by and the sound of firewood from the bonfire in the middle of the night, the two of them not only did not make any sound, but even their movements and eyes did not move.

"Then what are your plans next?" Ai Lu spoke in the end.

"Me?" Xu Mu thought for a while, "I had thought about it a few days ago. I want to cross the border and go to the Kingdom of Heine in the west. You should know this kingdom, right?"

"Well, I know a little. Half a year ago, the king of Heine Kingdom died, and then the second princess of Heine Kingdom ascended the throne."

"Yes. Whenever the throne of the kingdom changes, the Knights of the exclusive royal family will be broken up and reorganized. Since that's the case, I will go to the capital of the Kingdom of Heine and find a way to participate in the Knights' alternative. After all, I can't stay in the Kingdom under my feet now."

"Whereth the Sreta?"

"Sreta?" Xu Mu looked down at Sreta who was sleeping in his arms, "Of course Sreta is with me."

"Is that true..." Ai Luyu pinched the black books with her hands, as if she was very hard.

And Sreta, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.

"Sreta, are you awake?"

"elder brother..."

"Don't be so stupid next time. Don't do this in the future..."

"Brother, Sreta is not stupid. When my brother scolded me and asked me to leave, I knew what happened. Although I didn't understand what I could do, my brother once saved my life. Even if I really couldn't do anything... At least I would die with my brother..." Sreta's voice was like a kingfisher, and his voice was very small: "Besides, I have nothing but my brother."

Xu Mu gently touched Sreta's head, took a mat from the side to cushion Sreta's head, and he patted his body and stood up: "You two can rest first, I'll go vigil."

After killing the three hunters of the guild, the three of them began to escape to the border. Xu Mu knew that the town must have happened. He was afraid of being chased, so he ran far before he rested and rectified.

Although it is far away from the town fief of the Ailu family, it is still necessary to watch the night. Not only are they afraid of attacks by others, but they are also afraid of attacks by wild beasts.

After Xu Mu got up and left, Ai Lu was still holding the black books and staring at the bag of treasures in front of her.

"Sister Ailu."

Ai Lu came back to her senses and forced her to smile: "What's wrong? But where did you feel the pain?"

"Sreta no longer hurts, I just feel a little tired, just take a good rest for a few days." Sreta turned his head and looked at Ailu, "Actually, I heard all the conversations you had with your brother in front."

Ai Lu's eyes were depressed: "Is that true..."

"It seems that my brother is a little jealous of Sister Ailu. Although Sreta doesn't understand why, he should be very happy after he came out of the town, but my brother is not in a good mood. We have made a lot of money and completed Sister Ailu's commission..."

Ai Lu moved to Sreita. She did not continue to reply, but asked with a smile: "Sreita, then Xu Mu is going to take you to the Kingdom of Heine. Are you afraid?"

"Scared?" Sreta pondered for a while, "Sreta is not afraid."

"Will you feel a little...sad if you stay away from your former hometown and leave the land where you gave birth to your own family?"

Sreta smiled on the corner of her mouth and said calmly: "Sister Ailu has thought too much, have you forgotten? Sreta is a person who has nothing, so how can she be sad? If I can accompany my brother to adventure around and watch my brother succeed step by step, then I will be very happy."

"Is there nothing..."

"Yes. I have no relatives, no home, and no ability to survive now...but I have an older brother."

No relatives...no home...

When Ai Lu heard this, she wanted to cry.

Sreta took the initiative to reach out and held Ailu's tenderness and comforted him: "Actually, Sister Ailu, are you the same? Or I, sister, brother, are you already people who have nothing... So why didn't Sister Ailu choose to go with us? Anyway, for me, this kingdom has nothing but the sadness and pain in my memories."

Ai Lu smiled bitterly: "But what Xu Mu just said... is about to drive me away!"

"Sister Ailu, you didn't take the initiative to ask to go with us."

"I asked for it on my own initiative?" Ai Lu was stunned.

"My brother is not a ruthless person. Although he looks very cold and indifferent on the surface, he is a very gentle person in his heart..." Sreta praised Xu Mu, and his face turned slightly red: "If my brother is really a ruthless person, an extremely snobbish person, then Sister Ailu, would you think your brother will leave me and let me leave, and then go to save you alone?"

Ai Lu seemed to have walked out of the sad maze in her mind, and her face was reddened by the bonfire and thoughtfully.

"My brother may have some grudges about Sister Ai Lu, and Sreta doesn't understand what the situation is... But I think if Sister Ai Lu goes to tell her brother, she will have to act together in the future, and wants the three of them to be together and go to the Kingdom of Heine together, I think my brother will not reject you." Sreta smiled, "Of course, I think it would be better if my sister could untie the grudges in her heart with her brother."

Then the two fell into silence again, and Sreta was not anxious. In fact, her thoughts on Ai Lu were almost certain.

Unless Ailu has deceived her in the past month, what she said is nothing wrong. Ailu, like them, is a person with nothing.

During this month's time together, Sreta didn't believe that Ailu was not dependent on the atmosphere of the three of them together.

If Ailu has other relatives and friends to rely on in the kingdom, that's another matter.

But Ailu obviously does not have this condition, and she doesn't even dare to contact her good friends because she is afraid of being involved in her friends' home.

Will Ailu really be willing to let go of them and return to the escape life of being alone?

Sreta is sure because the taste of loneliness is really scary.

In the end, Ai Lu figured out something. She smiled and touched Sreta's hair, signaling Sreta to rest with peace of mind. Then she stood up with books in her arms and walked towards the place where Xu Mu stood guard and watched the night.

Seeing this, Sreta couldn't help but smile, believing that the result would be good.

When people get along with each other, any relationship is mutual. If you feel happy, then the people around you will also feel very happy.

If you feel the warmth, then the people around you will also feel the warmth.

If Ai Lu is afraid of loneliness, then Xu Mu is actually afraid too.

Xu Mu looked at the greasy moon in the night sky and couldn't help but shake his head. It was really nauseating, but at night, there was nothing worth watching except the moon in the sky.

Listening to the sound of the wind passing by, Xu Mu sighed. In fact, he had thought about whether it was necessary to do this, because he could not take the initiative to raise these things, and Ai Lu would definitely follow him silently.

But when he asked, Ai Lu could not escape. Ai Lu had to stand up and give Xu Mu an answer.

Ai Lu helped him a lot, and the two of them were really friends, but can’t their friends be honest and honest? Although everyone has their own secrets that they cannot tell...

But when your own secrets are about to affect your friends around you and choose not to say anything, Xu Mu will only feel a little disgusted.

A gentle footsteps sounded in his ears. Xu Mu turned around and saw that Ai Lu came over with a book in his arms.

"Why don't you rest?"

Ai Lu came to Xu Mu and stood there, putting her robe on her body: "Come here... chat with you."

"Yeah."

The two of them were quiet for a long time, but in the end, Ai Lu couldn't help but curse softly: "Why are you always so ungent? As a man, can't you be polite to me?"

Xu Mu was stunned: "Why am I not a gentleman?"

"You know I'm coming to talk to you, you know I'm shy... You know I'm afraid, but you don't say anything. Is it to make a joke?" Ailu's eyes were red, and she suppressed her feelings for a long time in front of her, and some publicity was released.

"I..." Xu Mu was a little confused. Why was it his fault?

"Daigua, wooden barrel head!" Ai Lu cried out, tears slid down her cheeks, but she was trying hard to suppress the sound, obviously not wanting Sreta to hear it.

Seeing Ai Lu crying in a blink of an eye, Xu Mu couldn't help but get in a hurry. Why did she still cry?

"Hey, my god, don't cry... I have something to say, don't cry, okay?"

"Xu Mu, tell me, do you hate me?" Ai Lu bit her red lips, grabbed Xu Mu's short robe collar, and asked very seriously.

"Ah? How could I hate you?"

"Then why did you drive me away?"

"I...I said I didn't drive you away." Xu Mu turned his head and looked, "I told you earlier that the commission between us is indeed over..."

"Don't you want me to be by your side? Don't you want to take me with you? You obviously... If you can say nothing or say nothing, I can always be by your side and leave with you... But why do you drive me away?" It's okay if Ailu didn't open the gate, but she couldn't stop when she opened the gate. The more she cried, the more she couldn't stop her tears.

Xu Mu couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw Ai Lu's appearance. Did he really have the idea to drive Ai Lu away? Of course not. He just hoped that the three of them would be together and should not hide when they should be honest.

He gently embraced Ai Lu's soft shoulders and gently stroked Ai Lu's hair. The unique fragrance on Ai Lu's body began to drill into his nose.

When Ai Lu saw that she was gently hugged by Xu Mu, her body stiffened first and then softened again.

Xu Mu comforted Ai Lu for a long time, and Ai Lu stopped crying.

Ai Lu left Xu Mu's arms, held the black book in her arms and asked Xu Mu: "Did you have a grudge against me because of this book?"

"Indeed." Xu Mu saw Ailu telling frankly, he nodded without being shy.

"Then I will tell you what this book is!" Ai Lu's eyes were extremely serious, as if she was making some decisions: "This book is a dark magic book hidden in my Ai family for decades!"
