Start a mysterious island

Su Yue sat in front of the dressing table, opened the drawer, and prepared to take out the comb to comb her hair.

The moment she picked up the wooden comb, two crystal clear red crystals came into her eyes.

"Hey, why are there two? I remember there was only one in the drawer before." Su Yue's face was full of confusion, and she gently picked up the two red crystals in the drawer.

These two fingernail-sized red crystals were bathed in sunlight and reflected beautiful light in her white palms.

"It's really strange. Could it be that this has always been in the drawer, but I just didn't notice it?" Su Yue frowned slightly and thought about it secretly in her heart, but still couldn't find the answer.

After thinking for a while, she stopped worrying about it, and at the same time, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"This red crystal is so beautiful. How about I use red string to make a bracelet with it? It will definitely look great."

But this thought only flashed through her mind, because she had to rush to school and work, and she really didn't have the extra time to worry about these things.

So, Su Yue put the two red crystals in her hand back into the drawer, quickly combed her hair, and hurriedly left the bedroom.

A moment later, Su Yue had a simple breakfast, put on her bag, picked up a bag of garbage, and walked out of the house.

…………

In a corner of the vast spiritual world, Lin Li did not return to Blue Star last night. He stayed overnight at his home in Shuanghe City and slept until dawn.

After waking up, he felt refreshed. After washing up, he went to the balcony, basking in the warm morning sun and looking into the distance.

The residential area where he lives has relatively few people because of the high housing prices and many unsold houses. Therefore, in the early morning, it is not as noisy as some other crowded residential areas and is particularly quiet.

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him, followed by a familiar voice, "Lin Li, breakfast is ready."

Lin Li turned around and saw Qin Muqing standing there with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Qin Mucheng did not use the disguise beads to change her appearance. Her beautiful face and graceful figure were so beautiful that people could not help but be moved at a glance.

If an ordinary person saw it, he would probably be fascinated by it.

Fortunately, Lin Li had long been accustomed to Su Yue's beauty and was experienced, so he did not act like a fool when interacting with Qin Muqing.

He nodded calmly to Qin Muqing, and then went to the restaurant on the first floor with Qin Muqing to have dinner.

"Today's breakfast is so rich." After Lin Li arrived at the restaurant, he looked at the table full of sumptuous breakfast and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Qin Muqing smiled slightly, with a confident smile on her face, "It's rare that you have breakfast at home, so of course I have to show off my skills."

If Butler Qin and the guards knew that their eldest daughter personally prepared a table full of breakfast, they would definitely be shocked.

Lin Li and Qin Muqing were happily eating breakfast and chatting at the same time.

Just as they finished breakfast, there was a knock on the big iron gate outside.

Qin Muqing stood up and went to open the door. Before she saw the people outside the door, she thought it was Butler Qin and others.

However, the moment the door opened, she saw several burly strangers standing outside.

The moment these men saw Qin Mucheng, they all stood still as if they were cast under a spell. They had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and their eyes were full of obsession.

Qin Muqing was already used to such looks. She frowned slightly and asked in a cold tone, "Who are you looking for?"

The leading man came to his senses first. He quickly straightened his clothes and introduced himself politely, "Hello, young lady. We are from the Feihuo Gang. Is Mr. Lin at home? I want to visit him for something."

The leading man nodded quickly, and Qin Muqing then closed the door.

Her footsteps faded away, and several gang members outside the door began to whisper.

"That woman is so beautiful. I have never seen anyone so beautiful."

"Yes, is she the wife of Mr. Lin?"

…………

At home, Lin Li was sitting leisurely on the sofa in the living room. After enjoying breakfast, he was stretching comfortably.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance. He looked up subconsciously and saw the graceful Qin Mucheng walking towards him from a distance.

"Who knocked on the door?" Lin Li asked, his voice echoing in the living room.

Qin Muqing looked calm and said truthfully, "It was a few gang members who called themselves the Feihuo Gang who knocked on the door."

Lin Li was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He came to Shuanghe City and had no connection with the Feihuo Gang. He was a little confused, "What's wrong with them?"

"They said they want to visit you and discuss something with you. Do you want to meet them?" Qin Mucheng asked Lin Li with clear eyes.

Lin Li thought for a moment and said calmly, "Bring them here."

Qin Muqing nodded, turned around and was about to go and lead the person away.

At this moment, Lin Li seemed to have suddenly changed his mind and shouted, "Forget it, take them to the pavilion. I'll meet them there..."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside with Qin Muqing.

After a while, Lin Li sat on a stone bench in the pavilion of the courtyard.

He looked up and saw Qin Mucheng walking towards him with a few sturdy men.

These Feihuo Gang members all walked with steady steps, had muscular bodies, and exuded a frightening aura. It was obvious at first glance that they were not characters to be trifled with.

Of course, in Lin Li's eyes, this was not worth mentioning at all. He was confident that he could easily defeat these guys with one hand.

"Just as the intelligence said, this Mr. Lin is very young." When the members of Feihuo Gang saw Lin Li sitting in the pavilion, their eyes were full of surprise, and one of them couldn't help but whispered.

"Please sit down." Lin Li raised his hand to signal.

Upon hearing this, the leading man sat down on the stone bench, while the people behind him stood upright.

Lin Li was about to ask the people standing to sit down, but they said first, "No need, we'll just stand."

Seeing this, Lin Li stopped forcing it.

He knew in his heart that the main person who came to discuss matters with him this time was the man sitting right in front of him.

"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Wang Baofeng. I'm here to visit you on the orders of our gang leader. This is a little gift from us." Wang Baofeng said with a smile, and at the same time signaled his younger brother beside him to put the gift on the table.

Lin Li glanced at the gift, his eyes calm as water, and said, "I have never had any intersection with your gang before. Why are you suddenly looking for me now? Is there something wrong?"

Wang Baofeng still had a smile on his face and said, "Our gang leader wants to invite you to join us."

After hearing this, Lin Li fell silent.

He has never had a good impression of these gangs, and the possibility of joining them is almost zero.

Wang Baofeng seemed to have expected Lin Li to have such a reaction. He continued with a smile on his face.

"As long as Mr. Lin is willing to join our gang, you can choose any position except the position of gang leader."

Lin Li listened quietly to the various conditions proposed by Wang Baofeng without saying a word.

Despite Wang Baofeng's exaggerated words, Lin Li's thoughts were not shaken at all.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you register in our gang first?" Seeing Lin Li's firm attitude, Wang Baofeng gave in and settled for the next best option.

Lin Li shook his head without hesitation and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I can't stay here for long. I will go to another city after a while."

After hearing this, Wang Baofeng sighed, then stood up and said goodbye, "If Mr. Lin changes his mind in the future, you can come to us at any time."

Lin Li nodded politely and wanted to return the gift to the other party.

However, Wang Baofeng did not accept it and left with his men.

After the Feihuo Gang left, Qin Mucheng walked over from a distance.

"Are they gone?" Qin Muqing asked softly.

"Yes." Lin Li replied.

Qin Muqing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Which gang did you join?"

Lin Li shook his head again and said firmly, "I didn't join their gang. The gangs here don't give me the impression that they are good people. I don't want to help the evil."

When Qin Muqing heard this, the worries in her heart disappeared instantly, and her beautiful face suddenly blossomed into a smile more beautiful than flowers.

Seeing how happy the other party was, Lin Li couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems like you don't want me to join them."

Qin Muqing nodded and admitted, "Yes, the security here is very poor. One of the main reasons is that these gangs are doing evil. I don't want you to become like them."

Lin Li nodded slightly and said, "There must be a bottom line for being a human being. I won't become like them."

As the two were talking, someone knocked on the big iron gate in the distance again.

Qin Muqing heard the sound and immediately ran over to open the door.

After a while, she came back with a helpless expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Lin Li asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Muqing said helplessly, "There are a few people outside the door who say they are from the Iron Fist Gang and want to visit you."

Lin Li raised his hand and scratched his head, muttering to himself, "Why are the gang members visiting me again?"

Qin Muqing looked at Lin Li and asked, "Do you want to bring them here?"

Lin Li thought for a moment and said, "Bring them over here."

In the following hours, there was a constant stream of gang members coming to visit Lin Li.

There were so many gifts coming that even the pavilion could hardly hold them all.

Near noon, the visitor stopped showing up.

Qin Muqing walked over from a distance, sat down on the stone bench, picked up the teapot, poured himself a glass of water, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Li said with a smile.

Qin Muqing put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It's okay, just take a rest for a while.

Why do so many people come to visit you and invite you to join them? It's really strange."

Lin Li didn't know the reason at first, but later he learned the answer from a group of visitors.

“They came to visit me because I had a conflict with your guards yesterday.

They knew about the battle process and felt that I had great potential.”

Qin Muqing heard this and an apologetic expression appeared on her pretty face. She said, "I'm so sorry for causing you trouble."

Lin Li waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's not a problem, don't take it to heart."

"Knock, knock, knock..." Someone knocked on the big iron gate in the distance again.

"We just took a break and someone else came to visit us." Lin Li said, "This time you should just reject them directly."

Qin Muqing nodded, then stood up and went to open the door.

With a "click", the big iron gate opened.

I thought it was a gang member who came to visit, but unexpectedly, the people standing outside the door were Butler Qin and the captain of the guard.

"Miss!" Butler Qin and the captain of the guard greeted in unison.

Qin Muqing said in surprise, "It's you, what are you doing here? If you want to persuade me to go back, then you'd better not waste your time."

Butler Qin and the captain of the guard looked at each other, then stated their purpose and said they wanted to meet Lin Li.

If Qin Muqing faced a gang member visiting Lin Li, he would refuse the other party according to Lin Li's instructions.

But now that she is her own housekeeper and captain of the guard, she can only ask Lin Li what he thinks.

"Wait a moment." Qin Muqing said, then closed the door and left.

Butler Qin and the captain of the guard standing outside the door fell silent.

The captain of the guard said, "Why did Mr. Lin ask Miss to help him open the door?"

Butler Qin said, "The young lady is still cooking for him."

The captain of the guard said dissatisfiedly, "These things are done by maids, how can you let the young lady do it?"

Butler Qin stopped him, "I know you are unhappy, but don't say these things in front of Mr. Lin.

The fact that the young lady was willing to do these things for Mr. Lin shows that something happened during this period that we are not aware of."

The captain of the guard thought for a moment and nodded.

Qin Mucheng came back soon after she left. After opening the door, she took Butler Qin and the captain of the guard to the location of the pavilion.

Lin Li invited the two to sit down.

Qin Muqing picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea for the three people. Seeing this, Butler Qin and the captain of the guards quickly stood up and said in unison, "Miss, we can do it ourselves."

Lin Li looked at the two people's panic and thought to himself that it was not easy for these two people to come here from afar to find Qin Mucheng.

"You sit down." Qin Muqing said.

Butler Qin and the captain of the guard looked at each other, then sat down obediently.

Qin Muqing poured tea for the three people, then turned and left the pavilion.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird.

Lin Li picked up the teacup and drank tea, looking at the two people who were silent.

After two or three minutes, he broke the silence and said, "You are looking for me because of Qin Muqing's return home, right?"

Butler Qin said frankly, "Yes."

Lin Li said, "I don't know much about her specific situation, but she told me that the main reason she ran away from home was that she didn't want to marry someone according to the arrangements made by her family elders.

I also asked her yesterday if she wanted to go back with you, and she told me that she didn’t want to go back.

My decision is that if she doesn’t want to go back with you, I will not watch you forcibly take her back.”
