Marry her off to me (the male lead)

  Mo Ze didn't flinch or dodge, allowing the sharp blade in Hei Ying's hand to press against his neck, instead he smiled with great amusement.

  The one holding the sword was a woman, dressed in black clothes and boots, with a simple hairstyle, slender figure and beautiful face. However, her eyebrows were icy cold, her expression was emotionless, and she seemed to be covered in a layer of ice, making her look like an unfeeling machine, completely ruining her beautiful appearance.

  "Watching the moon, not getting rude." Just as the black-clothed woman pointed her sword at Mu Zong's throat with a expressionless face, a cold and calm voice came from the Octagonal Pavilion. The woman called "Watching the Moon" immediately retracted the sharp sword in her hand and disappeared from Mu Zong's eyes the next moment.

  Only to see the branches on his side slightly trembling, where is the figure of the woman? Mu Ze touched his neck and walked towards the pavilion while complaining: "Baili Yunxiao, this ghostly place will not be visited by Young Master again in the future, lest one day he comes but never returns!"

  When the voice fell, Mu Ze had already walked to the stone table in the pavilion. With a "slap", he slapped the folding fan onto the tabletop and picked up a cup of wine that Baili Yunfei had just filled. He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the wine, he slammed the empty cup back in front of Baili Yunfei before finally sitting down with a swish of his robes.

  "Wang Yue's skills may not have hurt you, it just depends on whether you want to avoid it or not." Ba Li Yun Xiao didn't think that Mu Jia's future master's words and actions were inappropriate, as if they had known each other for a long time. He calmly poured wine into the empty cup that Mu Zhuo had thrown down.

  Tonight, the Bai Li Yun Xiao changed into a new mask. It was no longer the green-faced, fang-toothed one from daytime, but a blood-red faced, blind-eyed one. The two dark red holes replaced what should have been two pupils, and the eye sockets were carved to look lifelike, still curled up with skin and flesh flowing with blood. It looked just like presenting a face of someone whose eyes had been dug out and was covered in blood in front of others.

  At this moment, Mu Ze was just reaching out to take the second cup of wine, and only then did he see the mask on Bai Li Yun's face, almost spitting out the wine he had just swallowed.

  "Are you deliberately not letting me eat the food in your house?!?" Mu Zhen poured down his second cup of wine, his complaining words already carrying a hint of gritted teeth, "You had to wear such an ugly mask when I came?!"

  "Why be modest, I'm afraid that even if someone were to bare their heart and lungs in front of you, you would still find it delicious." Baili Yunxiao's voice was as calm as a stagnant pool, seemingly unflappable no matter what happened, eerily serene, and worlds apart from Mu Ze's startled gasps.

  Mo Yu's hand, still grasping the empty wine cup, stiffened slightly, and his entire being seemed to cool down in an instant. His eyes turned gloomy, as if the carefree and irreverent him from before was just a facade, and this was the real him. However, this chilliness was quickly replaced by a careless and hearty laugh, so fast that it was as if the previous coldness had never existed.

  Baili Yunxiao continued to refill Mu Zhen's empty wine cup, seemingly oblivious to his momentary abnormality.

  "Baili Yunxiao, do you think it's necessary to still wear a mask in front of me? I've seen that ugly face of yours before." Mu Ze picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken, speaking with unclear articulation, not having the demeanor of a young master at all. "But it seems like it's been several years since I last saw your ugly mug, I wonder if you've become even uglier?"

  "It's just a habit." Baili Yunzhu lifted her hand to adjust the mask on her face, without any intention of removing it, and said coolly, "I seem to have forgotten what my own face looks like too."

  "A ugly face." Mu Zhen swallowed the chicken and took a sip of wine, making an enjoyable sound, praising, "This wine is not bad, considering that I can drink good wine in the future, I'll come to this damned place more often."

  "If Ah Ning likes it, I'll have someone deliver it to your mansion tomorrow." Baili Yunxiao picked up the wine cup in front of him, gazing at the blurry reflection of his own face on the surface of the wine, his fingers slightly moving as he gently swirled the cup. "But I suppose you won't have many leisurely days like today to savor fine wines either."

  "Can't you not say such depressing things when I'm in a good mood enjoying fine wine and food?" Mu Zhen's originally smiling face suddenly added a few points of annoyance, "Just thinking about this matter makes me anxious, if I, as the son of the Mu family, were as promiscuous as the Xiao family, where would I need to worry about this, who made my dad only have me as his son?"

  "Have you found what your father needs?" Baili Yunxiao merely swayed the wine cup back and forth, seemingly having no intention of drinking the wine inside.

  Mu Ze's smile at the corner of his mouth was retracted, and his hand holding the wine cup tightened a few times. He shook his head, "No, it should be gone forever."

  "Is it." Ba Li Yun Xiao's tone was light and casual, without any doubt.

  No one spoke again, and the pavilion was suddenly plunged into silence, with only the occasional sound of the wind passing by. Mu Ze's silence lasted for just a moment before he broke it once more, his voice once again filled with thick laughter. "Xiao Anxin is back, you know that?"

  "Hmm." Bai Li Yun Xiao nodded slightly, "The recent pursuit of the city, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful."

  "It's going to be a great show." Mu Ze took another bite of the lotus-top Jinli fish, with an excited look on his face, "Xiao Anxin that sickly boy closed the door and didn't come out as soon as he came back, currently not many people know he's back, I wonder if he's going to have a relapse as soon as he comes back, then this show will be even more exciting."

  Baili Yunxiao didn't respond, and it seemed Mu Ze also had no intention of letting him continue the conversation. Instead, he savored another sip of fine wine before continuing: "Also, Yu Shiyuan's wedding night seemed quite inauspicious. That night, the Yu manor was in disarray, and even Yu Shiyuan himself showed a tense expression. I wonder what exactly happened that night at the Yu manor. Do you know?"

  Mu Ze raised his eyes to look at Baili Yunxiao, saw that the wine in his cup hadn't moved at all, and snatched it over to drink by himself. Baili Yunxiao didn't mind, only saying: "It should be Yu Shiyuan's treasure that was stolen."

  "What treasure? What kind of treasure could Yu Shiyan still have?" Mu Zhen was clearly curious and disdainful.

  "Chi Yu, perhaps it's time to reveal itself." Ba Li Yun Xiao's tone suddenly cooled down a few degrees, "Not yet certain."

  "Red Jade!?" Mu Ze was shocked, but quickly regained his composure, staring intently at Bai Yunxiao with an unblinking gaze, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him. "I'm not interested in Red Jade. I almost forgot the purpose of my visit tonight. Honestly, what did you discover about the White family? Otherwise, how could you, this nocturnal Buddha, appear during the day?"

  Baili Yunxiao was silent, and Mu Zhen drank wine while staring at him tightly, with a look that Baili Yunxiao would not let go if he didn't answer truthfully. "Also, what did you whisper to Lao Bai's ear?"

  "I said..." Bai Lixue's tone was still calm and flat, "Marry Baizhuo to me, I -"

  "Pffft!" Mu Yun's wine, still unswallowed in his mouth, suddenly sprayed out, abruptly cutting off Bai Li Yun Xiao's unfinished words.
