Of course, they couldn't see Ruan Mingchu through the billowing dust.
They didn't realize it until Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu walked up to them on the bricks.
"Who are you people? How dare you trespass into the prison? You're not leaving now!" A prison guard roared angrily at Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu.
Mu Yu seemed to move, yet he didn't. Everyone felt as if something flashed by in the blink of an eye, and then the prison guard was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His fate was unknown.
After several seconds of silence, the warden stepped forward and said coldly, "Take them down."
There are few people who dare to cause trouble in prison, but they do exist. If someone thinks they are superior and disregards the prison, the warden guarantees that he will regret that impulsive act for the rest of his life.
The prison guards all walked toward Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, holding batons in their hands. Their swaggering gait and disgusting smiles made them look more like criminals than the prisoners themselves.
This is not how employees of an imperial official institution should behave!
Ruan Mingchu pressed down on Mu Yu's hand, fearing that Mu Yu would get angry and be beaten to death; death would be too good for them.
He raised his hand, and these prison guards, just like the one before, were all sent flying, falling to the ground, their fates unknown.
This isn't just one person, but hundreds.
The warden was in a bind, but he wasn't afraid; he had a secret weapon. To prevent prisoner riots and to ensure the safety of the guards, each prison had a powerful weapon.
Only the warden can mobilize it.
The warden smiled confidently and pressed the secret command on the terminal.
But as time passed, nothing responded to his instructions.
A bead of sweat rolled down the warden's forehead. His authority had been stripped away; only those above him could do this.
"It's over," was the only thought in the warden's mind when he realized it. He knew, of course, that he was doing something illegal, but money could corrupt, and breaking the law was a minor matter. As long as they weren't caught, with the emperor far away, they could get away with it.
But why was he discovered so quickly? He hadn't even enjoyed a single day of good life. Heaven is so unfair!
By the time the "powerful and wealthy" who came to enjoy themselves realized something was wrong with the warden, it was too late.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu had already knocked all the prison guards down and were slowly walking towards them.
Some people panicked, and various voices introduced themselves, hoping to intimidate the two killers.
What good will panicking do?
They discovered that the assistant robots that had been serving them had replaced the teacups and plates on their robotic arms with handcuffs and guns, with the guns pointed at their foreheads.
Everyone instinctively looked at the warden, who was being treated the same way, even with handcuffs already on his hands.
It's over.
They can only hope that their families can get them out. They didn't do anything; they just watched a few performances.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu found the Miracle Organization fugitives in the prison warden's office.
The office has been converted into a laboratory, where the fugitive, dressed in a white lab coat, is intently conducting an experiment.
He didn't react to the noise, remaining absorbed in his own world.
These are the people who, in the name of exploring scientific truth, are doing things that harm other people's lives. Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu did not say anything, but directly had the robot inject him with a sedative and threw him into prison.
Ironically, the prison guards and warden became the prisoners they had once looked down upon, mistreated, and abused.
An inmate tentatively punched the guard who had abused him, without receiving any warning. This opened a door, abruptly waking the unconscious guard, who then passed out again.
As long as no one died, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu didn't care about anything.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu went to "Feitian," where people who had recently been killed by wild beasts, including guilty criminals and innocent people, should not be buried.
No one knows what happens after death; all the living can do is try to put their minds at ease.
I never expected to run into Huji here again.
When Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu arrived, the boy was digging in the soil with a wooden plank. He was kneeling on the ground, his lips tightly pressed together, and liquid slid down his face and fell to the ground. It was hard to tell whether it was sweat or tears.
His father, mother, and friends are buried here.
Ruan Mingchu turned around to fetch the tools for Hu Ji, and then he and Mu Yuze left.
Come back later; this isn't the right time.
Fortunately, only a few prisons near Jin'an Town were involved in shady dealings. After the investigation was completed, another group of officials were brought down and imprisoned in the new Jin'an Prison.
They won't have a good time inside; they brought it on themselves.
Hu Ji declined Ruan Mingchu's invitation; his uncle came to pick him up, and he would become an explorer under his uncle's guidance.
Having failed to recruit any students at their final destination, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu embarked on their return journey.
None of the students who had agreed to stay had run away; they were all picked up by Ruan Mingchu and boarded the starship. Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, along with a dozen or so young men and women, returned to the Imperial Star once again.
The two only had time to tell Ruan Xingyi to make arrangements for the students before Qingyao called them to the palace.
The formal wedding is in three days. As the son of the Nguyen King and Thanh Nguyen Yao, Nguyen Minh Thu will naturally attend, and Mu Yu will also be present.
Local custom dictates three best men and three maids of honor, but considering the genders of Thanh Nguyen and Nguyen Hoang, they opted for six best men instead.
Emperor Nguyen had many brothers and sisters, but they were all illegitimate children born out of wedlock to his father. During the struggle for the throne, Emperor Nguyen and Thanh Nguyen joined forces to kill most of them, and after so many years, most of them are still alive.
Even if he hadn't died, Emperor Nguyen didn't intend to invite them.
Emperor Nguyen had no uncles or elders; they were all killed by his father before he ascended the throne.
Therefore, Nguyen Hoang is related to Mo.
Ruan Huang had no friends and was quite lonely. He didn't seem to care, as Qing Yao handled almost everything at the wedding, including choosing the best man.
Six groomsmen and six unmarried mermaids.
As for Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, Qingyao placed one of the two flower wreaths on each of their heads.
"Although you're a bit old, it doesn't matter. You're both good-looking enough, so you two can be our flower girls."
Flower girl?
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu both wore the same shocked expression, their foreheads practically covered in question marks.
Who would let someone in their thirties be a flower girl?!
Ruan Mingchu ripped the flower wreath off her head and threw it hard at Qingyao.
Qingyao chuckled and snapped back at them, "The two of you combined aren't even a fraction of my age. You're just kids, stop fooling around. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for your dad, so what's wrong with indulging me a little?"
Ruan Mingchu strongly refused, but Qingyao was shameless. He himself had said that the leaders were all older than them, yet he still shamelessly acted like a child. Damn, it gave me goosebumps!
In the end, Nguyen Minh Thu reluctantly accepted the heavy responsibility of "Hua Bu Tong".
Mu Yu readily agreed after Qing Yao's few words of humming and hawing, and even agreed to let Qing Yao do his makeup and styling.
Ruan Mingchu thought that agreeing would be the end of it, but he never expected that Qingyao would be so shameless.
After hearing Qingyao's words, Ruan Mingchu couldn't help but spray the tea in her mouth all over Qingyao.
"You want me to shrink and be your flower girl?"
Ruan Mingchu subconsciously rubbed his ears, wondering if he was still half asleep and hallucinating.
Qingyao nodded: "That's right, it's so easy for mermaids to change their form. You've already agreed to be a flower girl, so what's wrong with shrinking a little?"
Recalling his childhood self, Nguyen Minh Thu resolutely refused.
"Absolutely impossible!" Each word was emphasized.
Qingyao chuckled: "Nothing is impossible for me."
Before Ruan Mingchu could prepare herself, Qingyao turned and left after uttering his harsh words. Watching Qingyao's retreating figure, Ruan Mingchu frowned deeply. What kind of trouble was Qingyao up to?
He would absolutely never agree!
Absolutely!
Where is Mu Yu? Why hasn't he returned yet?
Mu Yu was still being held by Qing Yao.
Shrinking was part of the makeup and costume Qingyao mentioned, and by the time Mu Yu found out, it was too late. Qingyao had lived long enough to see everything and knew a little bit about everything. He could only maintain the appearance of a child for a short time, about a week, but that was enough time to hold the wedding.
To emphasize, Mu Yu has an adorable baby face, but it's usually hidden by his height and imposing presence, making him easy to overlook.
Now that it has transformed back into a chibi form, its chubby little arms and short legs, along with its adorable little face, make Qingyao's fatherly love overflow every time he sees it.
Specifically, after spending half an hour in Qingyao's arms, Mu Yu's face became swollen.
It was kneaded.
If Mu Yu hadn't used his little arms to strongly defend himself, his face would have been covered in Qing Yao's saliva.
Qingyao could already imagine how adorable Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu's child would be, and how he would have a beautiful fishtail to play with. Qingyao wished he could lock Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu up and make them give him grandchildren day and night.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu felt a chill run down their spines at the same time, for no apparent reason, just a strange sense of dread.
After dinner time, Mu Yu still hadn't returned, so Ruan Mingchu had no choice but to go find Ruan Huang. He knew Mu Yu was with Qing Yao, but he wasn't about to go directly to Qing Yao.
Qingyao is too cunning; you can easily fall into his trap without even realizing it.
But reality dealt Nguyen Minh Thu a heavy blow: his father was with Thanh Yi.
It's said that she's having dinner with Mu Yu right now.
Ruan Mingchu rubbed his face, put on a smile, and walked into the restaurant of Qingyao Palace.
The first thing I did upon entering was to look for Mu Yu; I felt uncomfortable if my eyes weren't on Mu Yu for even a moment.
However, Ruan Mingchu looked around three or four times but still couldn't see Mu Yu.
Where is Mu Yu?
Mu Yu was being forcibly held in Qing Yao's arms. Qing Yao actually treated him like a child, not only touching him inappropriately but also trying to feed him.
The only reason they didn't knock over the table was because of Ruan Mingchu. Well, there was only one other reason.
"Ruan Mingchu, I'm here!"
Ruan Mingchu was stunned for a moment when he heard the childish voice, but the voice was very familiar and he quickly recognized the owner of the voice.
Walking briskly to Qingyao's side, Ruan Mingchu saw Mu Yu, who had a three-headed figure.
He was immediately shocked: "How did it become like this?"
Qingyao chuckled twice, then reached under Mu Yu's armpits and lifted him up, boasting, "Isn't he cute? Xiaoyu agreed to be my flower boy, much better than you."
