Zi Mu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring straight at Wen Chao, as if his gaze could see through his thoughts.

Wen Chao felt uneasy when he saw her looking at him. He wanted to find another excuse to refuse, but when he saw Zimu's confident look, he swallowed the words back.

He probably knew Zimu's temper, and he knew that anything she decided was definitely not something he could refute.

Moreover, there seems to be a strange tacit understanding between Zimu and his father Wen Ruohan. Although his father has beaten him before, Wen Ruohan has always had an inexplicable respect for the strong.

Wen Chao understood that if Zimu really asked Wen Ruohan to stay and study, Wen Ruohan would most likely agree without hesitation.

At this time, Wen Chao was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the room, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

If he stayed, he would have to endure the constraints of the Cloud Recesses and live with those children of noble families whom he disliked, but if he disobeyed Zimu's wishes, he was afraid of her revenge.

Wei Wuxian watched Wen Chao's embarrassed look from the side and laughed secretly in his heart.

He leaned close to Jiang Cheng's ear and whispered, "Look at Wen Chao. He is usually arrogant and domineering, but now he is like a dog with its tail between its legs in front of Senior Sister."

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, wondering when his elder sister knew Wen Chao. It sounded like she also knew Wen Ruohan.

But Lan Wangji frowned, thinking that Wei Wuxian's words were a bit vulgar.

But I have to admit that Wei Wuxian’s words were very vivid.

Seeing that Wen Chao was still hesitating, Zi Mu said impatiently, "Second Master Wen, there is no need to worry about it. Studying in the Cloud Recesses is a rare opportunity for you. Cultivating yourself and improving your character will also be beneficial to your future practice."

"My father only asked me to send two people to Yunshen Buzhichu to study, and he didn't intend to let me stay with them."

"It's okay. Since Second Master Wen also wants to stay, I will personally help you talk to Immortal Governor Wen..."

"Then I'll have to trouble Sect Master Lan and Mr. Lan." Although Wen Chao was smiling, his expression of squeezing out every word from between his teeth was indeed pleasing.

Zimu gave a sound transmission note to the Wen family cultivator, leaving only Wen Chao and Wen Qing, brother and sister.

The Wen family monks who originally wanted to stay were directly dismissed by Lan Xichen based on the rule that only one person could be left to serve while studying.

Wen Ruohan's reaction was completely within Wen Chao's expectations. What was unexpected was that Wen Xu, who had been competing with Wen Chao for attention, was sent to the Cloud Recesses by Wen Ruohan himself.

Seeing Wen Xu who was also feeling hopeless, Wen Chao, who was originally suppressed by the Lan family rules and was in a particularly depressed mood, suddenly became much brighter and cheerful, and even his expression was no longer gloomy and twisted.

----------------

When Zimu arrived at the guest room, Lan Xichen, Lan Qiren, and Wen Ruohan looked at each other in silence. The atmosphere was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and there was a sense of tension in the air.

Zimu and Lan Xichen looked at each other. In her opinion, it was rare to see Lan Xichen with such a serious expression. His serious look with a hint of nervousness actually made her feel that it was quite cute.

Lan Xichen's originally tense nerves completely relaxed as if a warm spring breeze had blown over him the moment he saw Zi Mu wink at him.

However, Lan Xichen didn't let go of this mood for long before it was brought up again.

Zimu only said nonchalantly, "Is Sect Master Wen still alive?"

The nonchalant tone made it seem as if he was just asking about an insignificant matter.

As soon as these words came out, Lan Qiren, who was pouring tea for himself, suddenly trembled in his hand and froze in place, taking a while to come back to his senses.

Lan Xichen's hand was already tightly grasping his own ice-breaking flute, staring at Wen Ruohan sharply, ready to take action at any time. The atmosphere in the entire guest room instantly dropped to freezing point again.

Wen Ruohan seemed not to have heard Zimu's ridicule. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "You are such a girl, your words are really unpleasant to the ear. You are not like Jiang Fengmian at all."

There was a hint of amusement in his tone.

Zi Mu was not afraid at all. She raised her chin slightly and said bluntly, "Master Wen is so arrogant. He is here to see and hear students from the Cloud Recesses. Only Master Wen can do such a thing as usurping the throne."

After hearing this, Wen Ruohan was not angry, but laughed instead.

He looked at Zimu and said, "Actually, I quite like you, a little girl. Are you really not considering joining our Wen Clan?"

Zimu wrinkled his nose and said with disdain, "I don't like the Qishan school uniform Yanyang robe. It's too conspicuous."

Wen Ruohan raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't mean you like your Yunmeng school uniform that much."

Zimu nodded and said as a matter of course: "Well, so, I won't wear it."

Wen Ruohan did not give up and continued to ask: "Are you really not considering coming to Qishan?"

Zi Mu was getting a little impatient. She asked back, "Doesn't Sect Master Wen have two sons who are at loggerheads with each other? Why are you still not satisfied?"

Wen Ruohan frowned and said disdainfully: "Just Wen Chao and Wen Xu? Forget it, they are not even as good as those two guys in your family."

Wen Ruohan's tone was full of dissatisfaction with his two sons.

When Zimu heard Wen Ruohan's evaluation of his son, he curled his lips slightly and said, "Then why are you wasting your breath on me, Sect Master Wen? I don't want to get involved in the troubles of the Wen Clan."

Wen Ruohan looked at Zimu deeply, with a playful look in his eyes: "You are a girl with a strong personality, but sometimes a strong personality is not necessarily a good thing."

Lan Qiren finally came to his senses at this time. He frowned and said unhappily: "Master Wen, you didn't come here today to argue with this junior, did you? If you have something important to say, please speak directly. Don't embarrass this junior anymore."

Wen Ruohan then turned his gaze away from Zimu. He leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Lan Qiren, I came here this time for one thing, to see these young people who are here to study, and secondly, to send my two disappointing sons here to experience the influence of the Gusu Lan Clan."

Lan Xichen bowed slightly and said, “Thank you, Immortal Governor, for trusting the Lan Clan. We will treat both of you equally in the Lan Clan.”

Wen Ruohan said, "The Lan family has many rules, and they are indeed a bit unreasonable. I hope that in a year, even if they are a pile of mud, they can become two pieces of mud with golden appearance and rotten cotton inside."

Lan Qiren was so angry at Wen Ruohan's words that he trembled all over: "Wen Ruohan, are you going too far?"

Zimu suddenly felt that Wen Ruohan was really bold.

Wen Ruohan glanced at Zimu inadvertently and found that she was looking at him with admiration, and he knew that the girl shared the same idea as him.

"Isn't it? Which of the current heads of the hundreds of immortal families has not studied in your Gusu Lan family? But those hypocritical behaviors of oppressing the people were not taught by the Lan family? Lan Qiren, have you really not heard of those rumors about the outside world? How many of your family rules are useful for teaching people?"

"Is it that you can't eat more than three bowls of rice, or you can't walk too fast, or you can't go out at night?"

Wen Ruohan's words made Lan Qiren's face gloomy, but he couldn't refute it.

Zimu: Sure, Lao Wen.

Wen Ruohan: It's no big deal. Are you coming to Qishan? Our family rules are quite reasonable.

Zimu: Haha
