"You little drunkard! Who allowed you to drink like this?" Yun Yan'er scolded him while laughing. Her watery eyes flashed with a doting light. She gently patted Ah Man's back and sent her spiritual energy to help him sober up. Her movements were gentle and skillful, and it was obvious that she was used to this situation.
Mu Shaowen raised his glass and saluted Lu Xuanxin from afar. There was a bit of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes. He asked, "I haven't asked for your name yet, Miss. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to get it?" His tone was gentle and elegant, with an indescribable charm.
"Lu Xuanxin." Lu Xuanxin answered calmly, her voice as cold as a spring, her eyes fixed on the dish that Zi Huang picked for her, not even looking at Mu Shaowen. Her expression revealed an aura of keeping people at a distance, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.
Mu Shaowen and Dongfang Mo looked at each other and were stunned. They were just a little skeptical at first, but it was still hard to believe when they heard her name in person. Their eyes were filled with shock and confusion, as if they were shrouded in a layer of fog.
They had originally trusted Tian Ying so much because they had heard that Lu Xuanxin had been captured, so they rushed to rescue him. At this moment, their hearts were filled with doubts and puzzlement, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force.
"Cousin, is it really you? You weren't caught, were you?" Mu Shaowen was so excited that he wanted to stand up, but the seats were too crowded, so he could only sit there. His face was full of concern and anxiety, as if he was afraid of missing any news about Lu Xuanxin.
"Humph, how dare I be called your cousin?" Lu Xuanxin replied coldly, her tone full of sarcasm and disdain. She was unhappy when she thought of the past, and she didn't have a good face for this cousin. Her eyes revealed a deep disgust and indifference, as if she wanted to isolate everything from her.
Mu Shaowen's face froze slightly, but he soon put on a smile again: "My father and your mother are siblings, and this blood relationship cannot be severed, no matter how far apart we are." There was an indescribable firmness and persistence in his tone, as if he wanted to break down all barriers and obstacles.
Lu Xuanxin looked up at him and said lightly: "Let's talk about this after I find my mother." Her voice revealed a sense of helplessness and fatigue, as if she was full of boredom and alienation with this world.
Mu Shaowen's face froze again. He regretted not getting close to her earlier. His eyes flashed with deep regret and self-blame, as if he wanted to make up for his past mistakes.
"Where is my aunt now? Is she in good health? My grandmother has been thinking about her for more than 20 years." There was a hint of trembling and anticipation in Mu Shaowen's voice, as if he wanted to grasp every piece of news about his aunt.
Lu Xuanxin remained silent. She didn't know the inside story and didn't want to comment on it. Her eyes revealed a deep confusion and bewilderment, as if she was shrouded in an invisible mist.
Yun Xiao did not speak either. He respected Lu Xuanxin's wishes and did not disturb her emotions. But if the Mu family dared to harm Lu Xuanxin, he would never let them go. There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he wanted to protect everything of Lu Xuanxin.
Dongfang Mo was quick-witted and did not continue to talk about the matter of recognizing relatives. Instead, he talked about the rumors outside: "Since my cousin is fine, then those rumors outside, could they be a trick of the Xuan Yao Palace? They want to lure relatives and friends to save you, and then threaten you?" There was a deep worry and concern in his tone, as if he wanted to uncover the truth.
Lu Xuanxin frowned. This possibility was not impossible. They couldn't find her, so they might have deliberately spread rumors to confuse people. Her relatives and friends were unaware of the situation and would definitely go to rescue her. But her father was right beside her and her grandmother was in seclusion. How could they not know about this? Did they catch the wrong person? But who would be so stupid as to not explain after being caught? Her heart was full of doubts and confusion, as if she was being pulled by an invisible force.
“Xiao Xuanxin, I just got the news that this is a trick of the Yun Clan. They want to confuse people and make it easier to find you.” Situ Wuji suddenly interrupted, his voice filled with deep solemnity and seriousness.
"Trick? What trick?" Lu Xuanxin asked in surprise, her eyes flashing with deep confusion and puzzlement. Isn't it the Xuan Yao Palace? How did it become the Yun Clan again? Her heart was filled with doubts and confusion, as if disturbed by an invisible force.
"What I mean is that there are more than one person named Lu Xuanxin in the world." Situ Wuji explained, his tone filled with deep helplessness and heaviness.
Lu Xuanxin was stunned for a moment, then she understood. The Yun Clan sent someone to pretend to be her to deliberately confuse people. Then, the Yun Clan only needed to follow Yun Yan'er to find the real her. This plan was really brilliant. Her heart was filled with anger and disdain for the Yun Clan, as if she wanted to expose everything about them.
"In that case, we will continue on our journey tomorrow." Lu Xuanxin decided. Since this is a trick of the Yun Clan, they must have secret protection. Capturing people may also be one of their plans, trying to lure her over? Her eyes revealed a deep determination and resoluteness, as if she wanted to uncover all the truth.
"Cousin, are you going to the South China Sea too? Then let's go together, why not travel together?" Mu Shaowen said on his own initiative. His tone was filled with deep anticipation and joy, as if he wanted to seize every opportunity to spend time with Lu Xuanxin.
Lu Xuanxin ignored him and suddenly frowned and looked at Zi Huang. Zi Huang nodded and waved her hand gently, and the strange fragrance in the air disappeared. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was accustomed to all this.
"It seems like someone is secretly plotting something." Lu Xuanxin sighed, her tone filled with deep helplessness and exhaustion. She seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life of being plotted against, but she still felt a little irritated and uneasy.
"Really? That's great!" Yun Yan'er wanted to rush out excitedly, but was stopped by Lu Xuanxin. Her eyes flashed with deep excitement and anticipation, as if she was going to uncover the truth.
"Don't worry, since they are using poison, we should just take advantage of them. We are free anyway, so let's just play with them." Lu Xuanxin said calmly. Her tone was full of calmness and composure, as if she wanted to control everything in her own hands.
"Oh, I feel so dizzy." Yun Yan'er immediately pretended to be weak and groaned on the table. Her acting was very realistic, as if she was really poisoned.
Tianying, Old Lady Li, Ying and the others followed suit, pretending to be unconscious. Their movements were very coordinated, as if they had rehearsed them many times.
Feng Ling and Feng Chen also lay down after seeing this. Their movements were very natural, as if they were really poisoned. Ah Man didn't need to pretend, he was still drunk. His breathing was very heavy, as if he really fell into a deep sleep.
Dongfang Mo and Mu Shaowen smiled bitterly at each other and also lay on the table. Their attendants also followed suit, pretending to be so realistic. Their eyes flashed with a deep sense of helplessness and fatigue, as if they were also involved in this boring game.
"It's done!" Qian Bin saw everyone fall down and happily pushed the door open. His face was full of pride and joy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
"You... actually used poison!" Dongfang Hong, the five-star spiritual master who protects Dongfang Mo, also sat softly on the chair, pointing at Qian Bin and others and scolding them. His tone was filled with deep anger and dissatisfaction, as if he wanted to expose everything.
"Hey, don't be angry, senior. We don't want to be enemies with the Dongfang and Mu families." Qian Laixi walked over with a smile and said with regret. His tone was filled with deep helplessness and apology, as if he was also forced by the situation.
"We only ask for these girls' help. Please rest assured, seniors, we will send someone to send you back. We only ask Senior Dongfang to persuade the young master not to meddle in other people's business." Qian Laixi continued, his tone filled with deep pleading and expectation.
"Come here, escort Senior Dongfang, Senior Mu, and the Second Young Master out of the house." Although Qian Bin was somewhat wary of the family status of Dongfang Mo and Mu Shaowen, he thought that they were the young masters who served the Spiritual Master, and he did not want to make enemies easily, regardless of whether they were favored or not, so he decided to send them away. Then he looked at the delicacies on the table, which had been eaten up, not even the vegetables were left. His heart was filled with anger and dissatisfaction with Lu Xuanxin and others, as if he wanted to vent all of it.
The whole table was unconscious. Qian Laixi looked at Ah Man, and thought of how Ah Man had destroyed so many of his strong men, and he was very afraid. There was a deep fear and uneasiness in his eyes, as if he had a deep understanding of Ah Man's strength.
"You, go and kill that kid." He pointed at a guard and ordered. He was very afraid of Ah Man's power and was afraid that he was actually pretending to be drunk, so he specifically told the guard to be careful. There was a deep determination and cruelty in his tone, as if he wanted to destroy everything in his own hands.
The guard whose name was called had a face as yellow as the earth, and he walked heavily, not daring to move forward for a long time. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead flickered like stars under the dim light. The guards around him exchanged glances, and their sympathy was beyond words. There was more or less fear in their eyes, and they were full of fear for the child lying on the ground - Ah Man. They all knew what the city lord was planning, so they felt sympathy for the guard's experience. Even the guards who were dragging Dongfang Mo and Mu Shaowen's servants stopped. Obviously, everyone was extremely curious and fearful of Ah Man, a child who looked immature but was actually very talented.
Qian Bin's eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to drip water, and his eyeballs kept moving, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity. "Father, this child is extraordinary. He looks like a child, but his strength is extraordinary." There was a bit of solemnity in his words, and he obviously had a deep understanding of Ah Man's strength. "We can capture him first, seal his spiritual power, and then offer him to the third uncle, maybe he can control this child." His tone revealed an indescribable expectation and excitement, as if he saw an unprecedented opportunity.
"If we can really control him, then our Qian family will have one more powerful guardian. At that time, how dare other families not bow down?" Qian Bin's words were like a cold wind, blowing through everyone's hearts, making them tremble. After hearing Qian Bin's words, other senior executives applauded, their eyes flashing with greed and enthusiasm, as if they had seen the future of the Qian family's rise.
"City Lord, according to the young city lord's plan, we can get rid of the enemy and get the strong man, it's really killing two birds with one stone!" A senior official shouted excitedly, his voice full of praise and expectation for Qian Bin's plan. Qian Laixi's eyes also lit up, and he was eager to make a move, as if he saw an unprecedented opportunity beckoning to him.
"Okay, let's do as you say. Hand this child over to Third Uncle to make him into a puppet." "All other males will have their cultivation destroyed and will also be sent to Third Uncle to be tested for poison." Qian Laixi waved his hand, and the fate of everyone was easily decided. His tone revealed an indescribable cruelty and coldness, as if the lives of these people were just insignificant chess pieces in his eyes.
"I just lost my 103rd concubine yesterday, and this purple-dressed girl can just fill in." From the first moment he saw Lu Xuanxin, Qian Laixi was mesmerized by her jade-like skin and fairy-like temperament. His eyes flashed with greed and possessiveness, as if he wanted to take everything of Lu Xuanxin for himself.
"Since father has chosen that woman, I will reluctantly accept the remaining two girls in green." Qian Bin's eyes swept back and forth between Yun Yan'er and Tian Ying, and his mouth was almost drooling. His eyes revealed an indescribable vulgarity and greed, as if he wanted to take the two girls into his pocket as well. He actually wanted to take them all, but thinking that the elders in the family might be unhappy, he had to give up.
