Mu Duqiu instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner, he was prepared to treat a few guests to it, and the conditions would be according to the highest ones.
Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and the others, under the lead of the butler Mu Qi, stepped into the Alliance Head Palace once again.
Before Xie Qingrong stepped into Alliance Head Palace, she said to Mu Qi with a smile that was not a smile: "This time, Chief Mu probably won't chase us out again, right?"
Hearing Xie Qingrong's ear-piercing taunts, Mu Qi's old face turned green and white, as she hurriedly tried to curry favor with her: "Previously, I was blind to not recognize you, please forgive me."
Xie Qingrong did not say anything towards Mu Qi's words of apologizing for trying to curry favor with him, she simply nodded her head and the two of them stepped forward, and Shang Zhiqing followed after.
Mu Duqiu was a little restless. After thinking about it, he stood at the entrance of the hall and waited for Xie Qingrong's group to come.
Just as Xie Qingrong reached the entrance of the hall, she saw Mu Duqiu standing with his hands behind his back.
Mu Duqiu heard the footsteps from behind and immediately turned around. Seeing that it was Xie Qingrong and the rest, he slightly adjusted his expression, and his resolute face immediately became gentle.
Xuanyuan Chen indifferently swept his eyes across the hall, and when he saw the plate of food that was still covered behind Mu Duqiu, he immediately understood.
Taking a step forward, he said lightly, "City Lord Mu."
Mu Duqiu replied with a faint smile, "Car Young Master."
Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and the others came out using the name 'Che Yuan'. The moment a stranger entered the Martial Alliance, Mu Duqiu would be the first to receive the news. As a result, people had already brought up the matter that Xie Qingrong and the others had done recently.
Xie Qingrong asked knowingly: "Chief Mu, are these meals prepared for us?"
It was only then that Mu Duqiu remembered, he had already ordered people to prepare dinner, and sat everyone down, "Thank you for not saying it, Miss. Everyone, please sit down. Consider this an apology for the unreasonable actions of me and the steward. "My food is plain, please do not hold me in contempt."
Xuanyuan Chen laughed, and took the seat first. Shen Haoxuan, Shang Zhiqing and the rest saw that Xuanyuan Chen had already sat down ahead of them, and without hesitating, they followed and sat down.
Mu Duqiu took a good look at all of their actions and immediately understood that this young master and this Miss Xie were the leaders of this group, and had the absolute authority to speak.
In his heart, he roughly knew which direction to take.
He called over Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen and a few others, telling them to not be courteous, and to treat the Mu Manor as his own home.
Unexpectedly, after Xie Qingrong heard these words, the hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly. A playful smile formed on her lips, and with a ridiculing gaze, she said with a smile that was not a smile: "Chief Mu sure knows how to joke around. Chief specifically sent Butler Mu to come find us at the inn. I believe that Chief Mu has already understood some of the things that we need to know. "
Xuanyuan Chen drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and said, "If Chief Mu has something to say, just say it, no need to spend so much time and effort to curry favor with us."
The corner of Mu Duqiu's mouth stiffened. What Xuanyuan Chen had just said made Mu Duqiu feel extremely uncomfortable, but he had already lost his previous opportunity.
Cen Huayue had already become the obsession in his heart, and was also a thorn that she could never pull out.
If he heard even the slightest bit of information about her, he would lose all sense of reason. But even so, he still worked so hard, desperately trying to get some information about her from someone else.
The smile on Mu Duqiu's face became somewhat bitter, and he said softly: "Aren't you afraid that the few of you would laugh at me? Regarding the matter of Hua Yue, I have never had any sense. When I regain my senses, I will realize that my previous actions were too hurtful, and that it would not help. "
Hearing that, everyone present became silent. They were actually a little angry with Mu Duqiu, but as outsiders, they could only use this method to achieve their own goals.
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen had their own selfish thoughts. Previously, the reason they used that kind of question to seduce Mu Duqiu was because they had other plans, and that was the fastest way to do it.
Just as everyone was silent, Jun Changyou suddenly said, "Chief Mu doesn't need to mind, we don't even care about these things. Otherwise, we wouldn't have followed Butler Mu to the Mu Estate again."
The voice was young and tender, yet it was filled with unquestionable comfort.
The silent crowd was jolted awake.
Mu Duqiu smiled and said: "Thank you for your consolation, young lady."
After a moment of silence, he changed the subject stiffly. "I couldn't come up with an answer to the question that Miss Xie and Young Master Che posed earlier. I hope the two of you can give me a clear answer."
Xie Qingrong smiled with a hint of understanding in her faint smile, and said: "Chief Mu, do not be anxious. We have enough time to slowly understand this matter."
Pausing for a moment, he bent his fingers, knocked on the table, and asked seriously: "Chief Mu, I heard that this year's Wulin Congress, the winner will become City Lord Ouyang's son-in-law."
Mu Duqiu did not understand, but nodded his head, indicating that it was true.
Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes and said: "Chief Mu doesn't think that marriage is a big matter. City Lord Ouyang is willing? "
"This …" Mu Duqiu was a little hesitant, and didn't know how to reply. Actually, in his heart, he felt that his good friend's actions were a little reckless and sloppy.
A woman's marriage was something that would last her entire life.
Xie Qingrong also did not pay attention to Mu Duqiu as she continued, "The Wulin Congress holds it once a year. As far as I know, you have already been reinstated as a Master Wu Lin for fifteen years. Even though your goal is to attack Flowering Moon Church every year, Ecclesiastical Leader Cen has never appeared every year. "
"And this year, the Ecclesiastical Leader Cen, ignoring his own danger, personally appeared on this Wulin Congress which everyone wanted to suppress, and even took away the daughter of the City Lord Ouyang, becoming the target of public criticism. Why was that? Chief Mu has thought about it. "
Hearing this, Mu Duqiu was slightly stunned. If not for Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's reminder, he probably wouldn't have thought about this problem and wouldn't have realized that something was amiss. He immediately invited Xuanyuan Chen and to the Mu Manor.
He subconsciously rubbed his fingers together, feeling a little nervous. It was as if he was afraid that the news he would hear later would make him unhappy.
Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen and instantly, Xuanyuan Chen understood. Her fingers gently caressed the walls of the cup.
"Chief Mu, do you know when Ouyang Qiuyue was born?"
Mu Duqiu sank into his memories, thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "About fifteen years ago."
Obtaining the answer he wanted, Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. "Chief Mu, why don't you carefully think back to what Ecclesiastical Leader Cen was doing fifteen years ago?"
