In Muci's courtyard, Chu Muci was sitting in front of a table, lightly fiddling with the silver strings in her hands while playing the zither with both of her hands. The sound was pleasant to listen to and had a rhythm to it, but all of a sudden, the rhythm of the zither changed, becoming extremely unpleasant to listen to.

With a bang, the zither fell to the ground.

"Ouch …" Chu Muci hugged her right hand and cried out in pain.

"Miss, are you alright? Your hand is not completely healed. Doctor Yu said that you can't move it freely. " The personal maid, Little Bi, immediately dropped the plate in her hands, took Chu Muci's hand, and carefully wrapped it with gauze.

"Has that bitch Chu Moxi made any movements in the past few days?" Chu Muci pushed Little Bi who was holding her hand away and said impatiently.

The latter was pushed to the ground by Chu Muci and couldn't get up for a long time. On the other side, the other maid, Jing, replied, "No. It's the same as before."

"She really used it as a life-saving talisman!" Chu Muci's words were squeezed out from between her teeth. It was all because of that damned stop order.

"Miss, the Duke's injunction …" Little Bi who crawled up from the ground wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Are you afraid? My mother is the host of the Duke's Mansion's backyard, so if anything happens, I'll leave it to me. Little Jing, are you willing to do it? " Chu Muci glared at Little Bi, and when she turned to Little Ping, she had a smile on her face.

"Miss, the Duke's Mansion doesn't allow anyone to enter or leave Moxi Pavilion, this is just a restriction on the Duke's Mansion. You said that Moxi Pavilion is in the back courtyard with weak guards, what kind of things did you say that aren't unexpected?" Seeing Little Bi who had always been more flattered than her in front of the young miss, a trace of happiness flashed in Little Jing's eyes.

With a fawning look on her face, she offered her own ideas.

"This is a good idea. Little Jing, as expected of this young lady's personal servant girl." Chu Muci glanced coldly at Little Bi, and the latter couldn't help but shudder. However, Chu Muci didn't give Little Bi an extra glance, but instead spoke to Little Jing in a low voice.

At this moment, Chu Moxi was sitting in the yard, unaware of the imminent danger. She was fiddling with some ropes, the thick ropes forming many knots on her hands before being carefully tied up by her. If one was careful, one would notice that at the very end, there was still a very interesting large claw left behind.

That's right, Soaring Claw, the essential tool of Master Liang.

When Shang Chen came to the yard, he saw Chu Moxi fiddling with something strange. He kept staring at her without moving because he felt that she had become a little bit different this time.

If she was a sleeping beast before, then she was now a beast awakened from her rage.

What had happened to her these past few days? Someone was bullying her at Duke Chu's Mansion? His gaze shifted to the pig at Chu Moxi's feet.

When Shang Chen entered the yard, the latter perked up his ears. At this moment, Shang Chen's eyes swept over, causing all the hair on his body to stand up.

Shang Chen disappeared in a flash, and the pig Chu Moxi looked as if she didn't notice him, then flew away with Shang Chen.

"What's going on?" Shang Chen's tone was frosty.

"When she came back, her maid was almost beaten to death in the courtyard." The pig twitched his mouth. Was this man really so shameless? After glaring at Shang Chen snappily, it flew back to Chu Moxi's feet and continued to stay there.

At this moment, Chu Moxi got up after tying up the rope and saw Shang Chen, who was standing under the big tree on the right side of the yard. She raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "You're here!"

"Passing by." At the same time he spat out these two words, a sword suddenly shot out of his hand.

Chu Moxi was startled at first, but she immediately reacted with a flick of her right hand and a purple sword by her waist appeared in her hand.

At the beginning, Chu Moxi was a little flustered under Shang Chen's attacks. However, after she calmed down, it became more normal for her to attack and defend.

In the end, it could even be said that the offense and defense were pretty good, which made Shang Chen very satisfied.

Shang Chen's initial fierce offense started to turn into a slow and deliberate attack for Chu Moxi. Until Chu Moxi's moves became more and more proficient, the sword in Shang Chen's hand flashed and disappeared.

"Here you go." Two scrolls, one blue and one yellow, flew out from Shang Chen's hands. Chu Moxi waved her right hand and caught them. When she looked down, she saw that the blue scroll was Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter . Then, the yellow scroll was Ice Clearing Art .

"You …" Chu Moxi looked at Shang Chen in puzzlement and said a single word.

"Then the Ice Clearing Art is for your maid to train in. The Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Sword Techniques are for you. "I …" At this moment, Shang Chen's tone paused.

"Go." Chu Moxi spat out three words before stiffly turning around. Didn't he leave these things behind to tell her that he was leaving?

His right hand tightly gripped the scroll. He left as soon as he left. They originally had no relationship with each other, didn't they? Perhaps he had suddenly decided to be merciful and teach her how to practice her sword.

"Yes." Shang Chen didn't turn around to look at Chu Moxi. He hadn't been here for the past three days because he was thinking about what had happened to him. But he still hadn't found the answer, and something happened over there that he had to deal with personally.

He didn't notice the disappointment in Chu Moxi's words, probably thinking that Chu Moxi understood that he only needed to leave for a short period of time.

Chu Moxi turned around in surprise. "Chen …" Unfortunately, Shang Chen had already left. This shout floated in the cold wind as he swore his existence.

Gone! He left!

Chu Moxi's legs gave way and she knelt in the yard.

She didn't seem to notice the snow falling from her body. She just stood there, not knowing how much time had passed. It wasn't until Lian discovered her that she finally followed her back to her room with a pale face.
