"Mr. Chen, please come inside."
The steward of the Mu family welcomed Chen Ping'an in from the door of the house with a respectful look. In front, there were four maids carrying lanterns to clear the way.
Chen Pingan walked on the corridor without saying much. With a knife on one side and a sword on the other, he followed the steward of the Mu family and walked inside.
There are flowers on both sides, exuding a light fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
At the end of the corridor was a magnificent main hall. As soon as Chen Pingan approached, he saw a woman standing there, it was Mu Wanjun.
"Peace." Mu Wanjun greeted with a smile.
"Wanjun." Chen Pingan smiled slightly.
The two had a brief exchange, and Mu Wanjun welcomed Chen Ping'an in on behalf of the Mu family. In the main hall, a banquet has already been arranged.
There was a large group of people standing inside. Seeing Chen Ping'an come in, the leader smiled and cupped his hands.
"Mr. Chen, I have heard about his reputation for a long time. Seeing him today is indeed extraordinary."
As early as when he came in, Mu Wanjun briefly introduced him to him. Chen Pingan naturally knew who this person was. He was the head of the Mu family, Mu Tianxiong.
"Master Mu praised me, Ping An is polite." Chen Ping'an also smiled and held his hands.
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, there's no need to be polite! When you get here, it's just like going back to your own home, just relax."
Mu Tianxiong didn't put on any airs and acted very cordially.
After some greetings, Chen Ping'an sat down at the table. There was a maid on the side who filled up the drink for him.
In addition to Mu Tianxiong, there were also seven or eight elders of the Mu family, as well as several young girls including Mu Wanjun.
Chen Pingan paid attention. From the moment he came in, there was a young man who kept his eyes on him.
Chen Ping'an recognized the other party's identity after a brief recognition.
Mu Feiyu!
The only one among the younger generation of the Mu family who has entered the third level of inner energy, where Tianlin descends to the top.
When Chen Ping'an was about to take up his post in Baishi City, the news of Mu Feiyu's breakthrough caused quite a stir in Weishui County. At that time, everyone felt that Mu Feiyu was promising for the rookie list.
Unexpectedly, Mu Feiyu's name was not on this issue's rookie list. Instead, he ranked 91st on the rookie list.
Except for Mu Feiyu, the few teenagers present were the focus of the Mu family's training. However, Chen Pingan observed that except for Mu Wanjun, the attitude of the other people towards him didn't seem to be much better.
After a moment of thought, Chen Ping'an understood.
It’s just a boy’s nature!
They probably think that he stole Mu Feiyu's ranking on the rookie list. If he didn't make the list, perhaps the vacant person on the rookie list should be Mu Feiyu.
"Mr. Chen, speaking of it, our Mu family is really close to you."
After the opening greetings, the elders of the Mu family began to liven up the atmosphere. He talked about his previous fate with Chen Pingan, and even more implicitly stated that they also contributed a lot to Chen Pingan's promotion later.
However, there was no mention of the fact that Chen Pingan was suppressed by the Fang family and the Mu family stood aside.
Several people were like this, and Chen Ping'an didn't go out of his way to expose them. The atmosphere at the table was quite enthusiastic.
From time to time, clan elders would toast Chen Ping'an with a very low profile. It has to be said that as one of the four great aristocratic families, the Mu family has a relatively accurate grasp of human relations and sophistication.
If you are determined to please someone, everything will make you feel like a spring breeze.
Even Mu Tianxiong, the head of the family, has an extremely kind attitude towards Chen Ping'an. From time to time, they would talk about a few interesting things, which would bring them closer to each other.
"Why do the family heads and clan elders have such a low profile!?" "Yeah, what's the situation? It's just a young man. Even if he has a good talent, he is just an ordinary person! Why is this?"
"That's right! Look, he's still holding it!"
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for Wanjun, he might not be where he is today!"
"That's right! Without Jun Wan, without my Mu family, he still doesn't know where he is? Don't talk about the far ones, let's talk about the nearby ones. If my Mu family hadn't protected him, he would have been targeted by the Fang family. Dead!"
"."
Looking at the gestures of the family head and clan elders, several young girls at the table murmured in low voices.
After all, he is still a young man, and his perspective on thinking about problems is different from that of the people above. They were quite unkind to Chen Pingan because of the rookie rankings. Now seeing the attitude of the family's usually highly respected elders toward Chen Ping'an, they became even more unhappy.
"What are you talking about!? Shut up!"
At first, what the others said was okay. Although Mu Wanjun sounded a little uncomfortable, she did not say anything to stop him. However, what he said later became more and more biased, so much so that Mu Wanjun couldn't bear to listen.
If the Mu family hadn't protected him, he would have been killed by the Fang family long ago!
She was ashamed to hear this.
At first, the Mu family did nothing! Not only did they not do anything, they even stopped talking about the engagement.
If not, there wouldn't be such a big fight. Ping An, he might have been a member of the Mu family for a long time.
"What? Sister Wanjun, is her elbow turned outward?" A slightly younger boy in the first grade, named Mu Haorong, who was Mu Feiyu's loyal follower, asked with a slight disdain on his face.
"You!" Mu Wanjun wanted to be angry, but she was concerned about the occasion and didn't want to make too much noise. If Chen Ping'an heard what these younger brothers said, then the wooing thing would basically be out of the question.
"What? Let me get it right?" Mu Haorong continued: "If you hadn't insisted on transferring him to Baishi City to avoid the Fang family's revenge, I'm afraid that the person on the rookie list now should be Fei Brother Yu!"
"Yes, Haorong is right." Someone on the side helped.
Mu Wanjun was furious and really wanted to scold them.
These idiots!
I can't tell the difference no matter what the occasion is. Do you know the painstaking efforts of the head of the clan? Although she was angry that the clan elders didn't listen to her advice and gave up on Chen Ping'an as an abandoned son. But from the perspective of a descendant of the Mu family, I still sincerely hope to win over Chen Pingan to the Mu family.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have done so many things.
As a result, her brothers
failed to succeed and failed more than they did!
"Can you speak lower down?" Mu Wanjun watched several people speak more and more loudly, and couldn't help but feel speechless. I don’t know how the family trains them in daily life. A bunch of flowers in a greenhouse don't understand anything!
A few people wanted to continue talking, but Mu Feiyu raised his hand, and their voices suddenly weakened. Mu Feiyu is at home all year round and has a very high prestige among several people.
Mu Wanjun was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Mu Feiyu suddenly stood up.
Um?
Mu Wanjun had a bad feeling in her heart.
Mu Feiyu's sudden standing attracted the attention of everyone present.
Mu Tianxiong frowned slightly: "Feiyu, what's wrong?"
"Third Grandpa, Feiyu has heard Mr. Chen's name for a long time, and today he has the chance to meet him, and his heart is unbearable." Mu Feiyu bowed slightly, then walked out of the table and walked slowly towards Chen Ping'an.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you have amazing swordsmanship, and you have mastered the hard skills of the outer sect, and you are powerful in combat. This update of the rookie list ranks you at 91st. Feiyu is not talented, and I want to ask for advice. Look. Look at the difference between Feiyu and the rookies on the rookie list."
After Mu Feiyu finished speaking, the scene became extremely silent.
Chen Ping'an sat in the banquet, looking like an old god, as if he didn't hear Mu Feiyu's words. (End of chapter)
