Chapter 223 Dispute

When they arrived in front of the Marquis Manor of Ning Country, the servant outside recognized the daughter of the Marquis Manor with a single glance.

He wasn't too surprised. Most likely, Ye Hongjian had already sent this kind of news to the Marquis' Manor before this.

The servant enthusiastically led the two of them into the Marquis' Mansion.

A family banquet had already been arranged in the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion of Ning Country. The formation was not big, only Ye Chengtai and his wife, as well as the two tables that had been prepared long ago. However, the dishes were extremely sumptuous and were clearly prepared meticulously.

It had been nine months since Xu Han and Ye Hongjian left Chang'an. Although they had returned to Chang'an last time, they did not have time to pay their respects. It was not easy to see their daughter. Mu Yinyin, Ye Hongjian's mother, naturally felt heartache. She pulled Ye Hongjian to sit beside her and asked with concern.

Although Ye Chengtai also missed his daughter very much, it was not as obvious as the woman's performance. He had chatted with Xu Han one after another and asked about the Linglong Pavilion and Big Yellow City.

Xu Han naturally responded one by one, but the contents were true and false.

After all, regardless of whether it was the disputes between the Imperial Court or the mysteries in Jianghu, the more they knew, the deeper they would sink. As for the extent to which Ye Chengtai wanted to accomplish this, Xu Han was unable to grasp it, so he naturally had to leave it to Ye Hongjian to do it.

However, regarding Mu Ji, Mu Yinyin suddenly interrupted. After all, she was considered a member of the Mu Clan. It was also because she married Ye Chengtai that she escaped death. Naturally, he was extremely concerned about Mu Ji and the sudden appearance of Mu Qingshan. Xu Han had no intention of concealing this matter and told them everything.

However, such a fact inevitably made Mu Yinyin a little worried. Xu Han even vaguely saw that the woman's eyes were red, but she secretly stopped.

Fortunately, even if Ye Chengtai changed the topic, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.

All in all, this family banquet was considered a pleasure for the guests.

It could be seen that Ye Chengtai was very satisfied with Xu Han's son-in-law, who had been recruited on a whim. From his daughter's attitude towards Xu Han, it was not difficult for him to see that the two of them seemed to be in tune with each other.

"Right, Xu Han, don't you have something very important to tell my father today?" At the end of the banquet, Ye Hongjian suddenly said.

After saying this, Ye Chengtai and Mu Yinyin naturally gave Xu Han a puzzled look, while Ye Hongjian raised her neck provocatively.

Seeing this, Xu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He naturally remembered what Ye Hongjian had told him this morning. This was not because he had retreated from the battle, but because he really did not know how to speak. Ye Hongjian raised this matter at this time. If he was being shy, it would be too much of a daughter's behavior. Therefore, he gritted his teeth at that time and opened his mouth to say.

" Marquis Ye, I do have something to discuss with Marquis Ye."

"It's me and Hongjian…"

Just as Xu Han's words were about to reach a critical juncture, a loud noise came from outside the room.

" Marquis! There is a child causing trouble outside. He insists on coming to find Young Master Xu. No matter how hard he tries, he can't get rid of him." At that time, a man dressed as a servant hurriedly ran in and said to the people in the manor.

"Hmm? Child? What's his name?" Before Ye Chengtai could say anything, Ye Hongjian said first. Obviously, he was a little displeased that this topic was suddenly interrupted.

"It seems to be called … Su Mu'an." The servant scratched the back of his head and recalled it for a long time.

"Huh? Bring him in quickly." Hearing this, Xu Han's heart skipped a beat. Although Su Mu'an's personality was sometimes very paranoid, she was a reasonable person and had never seen him make a fool of himself. He was supposed to follow Mr. Lu to Tiance Prefecture to take care of everything, but now he suddenly came looking for him. Xu Han was worried that something might have gone wrong with Tiance Prefecture. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Forget it, take him to find him!"

As he spoke, Xu Han gave Ye Chengtai and Mu Yinyin an apologetic look and hurriedly followed the servant out of the manor.

The three of them exchanged glances at each other at that time, and they seemed to have smelled something wrong, so they naturally hurriedly followed.

When Xu Han arrived at the entrance of the Ye Clan, he saw a boy carrying a sword and saber tangling with the servants of the Ye Clan from afar. It was obvious that there was a dispute between him and the servants of the Ye Clan.

"Mu An! What's going on?" Seeing this, Xu Han quickly walked up and asked loudly.

Seeing Xu Han, the little fellow's expression changed. He anxiously shouted, "Manor Master is not good. Grandpa Lu is fighting with someone!"

Mr. Lu had a fight with someone?

These words were naturally somewhat nonsense. Not to mention that the old gentleman was a great scholar of the generation, he was gentle and elegant, but he could fight with others. Even at that point, wasn't there still Hou Ling around? Why is it Mr. Lu's turn to make a move?

However, the anxious expression on Su Mu'an 's face did not seem to be fake. Xu Han's eyebrows sank at that time. He turned to look at Ye Hongjian apologetically.

"Let's go. I'll go with you." Fortunately, Ye Hongjian was also generous and did not say anything. Instead, she wanted to go with Xu Han.

Xu Han looked at her gratefully. Then, he bid farewell to Ye Chengtai and his wife and ran with Ye Hongjian towards the Tian Ce Mansion with Su Mu'an.

…

After the three of them walked away, Mu Yinyin looked at the man beside him worriedly.

"Master, since they just returned to Chang'an, the Longevity Division is uneasy." Although Mu Yinyin was only a woman, he had been influenced by Chang'an, so it wasn't difficult to guess that the trouble Tiance Prefecture had encountered was probably secretly ordered by the Long Night Division.

Ye Chengtai, who was nearly half a hundred years old, reached out and patted the back of Mu Yinyin's hand at that time, indicating that the other party was at ease.

"Believe in the eyes of the Headmaster and our children. This is what the Tian Ce Mansion has to face, and it is also what we have to face." The man said.

The thick voice calmed the woman's heart.

He was always like this, although he didn't necessarily have much cultivation or power. However, he possessed a strange ability that could calm the hearts of people. Perhaps he was not a good Marquis. He had once flattered Zhu Xian after the Shepherd King's destruction, but he could really be called a good husband and a good father.

"Yes." Thinking of this, Mu Yinyin nodded and leaned his head against the man's chest. Feeling the familiar and warm smell.

The two of them hugged each other for a long time, but Ye Chengtai's voice suddenly sounded at that time.

"Oh right, where's my official uniform?"

Hearing this, Mu Yinyin was stunned. Following the successive defeats of the Mu Palace and Tiance Prefecture in the battle against the Long Night Division, although Ye Chengtai had dodged a calamity, he had been removed from his post, leaving behind only the title of Marquis of Ning Country. The so-called official uniform was actually his Marquis of Ning Country's Marquis. As Marquis, he naturally had the right to enter the Palace Mask Saint.

However, in order to avoid Zhu Xian's suspicion, he had long since hid the official uniform. Apart from the banquet that was bound to be held at the end of the year, he had almost never touched it. When he asked this question, Mu Yinyin naturally smelled something unusual.

"Master is going to …" She asked with some uncertainty.

At this moment, the Marquis, who seemed to be indifferent to the world, suddenly revealed a divine light in his eyes.

"Tomorrow, the Tian Ce Mansion 's Face Saint will definitely have a dispute …"

"I, the old Mu Clan Army, have to do something in the end…"

"For the Old Shepherd King, for myself…"

"In the end, we can't just stand by and watch."
