The sound of knocking on the door and shouting sounded, and both the woman and Liu Lian suddenly showed frightened eyes, each of them trembling a little.
When Chen Mu saw this, he frowned and said, "What's going on?"
The woman looked frightened and opened her mouth, waiting to speak.
boom!!!
There was a huge muffled sound.
The bolted door was kicked and the bolt broke.
Then a tall, thick-set man broke in from outside the door, bringing two people with him. He still smelled of alcohol, and he started cursing as soon as he came in.
"How dare you lock me outside the door? How dare you go against the grain?"
"That prodigal son of yours dared to seduce people in the Xuanguo Mansion and almost harmed me. Why don't you get out of here quickly? What are you doing here?"
The man yelled angrily from the door to the back room.
It wasn't until he arrived at the house and saw Chen Mu standing there that the obscene words in his mouth stopped and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Chen Mu looked cold, looked at the woman and asked, "Who is this person?"
The woman looked at the man, hesitated, and finally responded in a low voice: "He is Lian'er's uncle."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu roughly understood.
The man frowned and looked at Chen Mu and asked, "Who is this young master? Why are you here?"
His sister-in-law gave birth to two daughters but no son. Originally, after his brother's death, he planned to take back the house.
Unexpectedly, Cui'er sold herself to the Xuanguo Mansion and was actually selected by the Xuanguo Mansion. This was a big deal. Although she was just a maidservant when she went to the Xuanguo Mansion, she really didn't dare to cause any trouble. In desperation, she just Can watch.
But a few days ago, Cui Er died.
Liu Wan was naturally very happy. He came here today, planning to take over the house and sell it for a little money so that his family could have some meat every meal again.
Chen Mu looked at Liu Wan and did not answer. He only said lightly: "From now on, this place will belong to their mother and daughter. You are not allowed to touch it or step into the courtyard."
Liu Wan frowned, seeing that Chen Mu's clothes did not look like ordinary people, but when he looked around, he unexpectedly couldn't find the servants Chen Mu was bringing, and he seemed to be alone.
This made Liu Wan look a little surprised.
Whose son goes out without a servant?
Maybe he is a fake, but even if he is not a fake, he may be an ordinary character with little power, so Liu Wanke is not too scared.
Liu Wandeng immediately sneered and said, "This young master is a bit too lenient! After all, this is a family matter of my Liu family, and it is not the turn of outsiders to speak."
As he spoke, he ignored Chen Mu and went straight forward, stretched out his big hand to grab Liu Lian beside him, grabbed her skirt, and planned to drag the mother and daughter out by force.
When Liu Lian and the woman saw this, they both looked frightened. Liu Lian even shrank back, but wherever he could escape, he was about to be caught by Liu Wan.
but.
at this time.
Chen Mu snorted lightly.
Magicians below the seventh level do not possess martial arts, but this is only compared to warriors of the same level, and it is still not something that ordinary people can resist.
This soft hum fell in the ears of Liu Lian and the old woman, and there was nothing special about it.
But in the ears of Liu Wan and the two people he brought, it was completely different.
boom!
It was like a thunder on the ground, exploding in my mind.
For an instant, the whole person felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with a breath of cold air pouring from his head to the soles of his feet, as if he had stripped off his clothes and been thrown into the snowy water outside.
Liu Wan's stretched out hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and his whole body was frozen there.
He turned his eyes with difficulty and looked at Chen Mu next to him. He happened to meet Chen Mu's gaze and saw those deep eyes.
There are no words to describe the horror of this look, it is like the Nine Netherworld suddenly appears in front of you, the whole world is collapsing and shattering, even the consciousness will be shattered into pieces!
What a terrifying look!
Even those officials and fierce generals don’t have such terrifying eyes!
For a moment, Liu Wan was almost suffocated. He couldn't even make a sound, and the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.
The place fell into silence, with only the sound of breathing remaining.
Just when the atmosphere was frozen.
A shout came from outside, breaking the eerie silence.
"Go away, go away!"
I saw Ren Yan trotting all the way, appeared at the right time, came directly to the house, kicked Liu Wan who was standing there, and shouted angrily: "If you dare to offend the second master, are you seeking death?!"
"Our second master is the son of the Xuanguo Mansion. If he is angry with you, you guys will turn into ashes and go to the eighteenth level of hell, which will not be enough to atone for your sins!"
This kick goes down.
With the word 'Xuan Guofu' in his mouth, Liu Wan trembled all over and was kicked to the ground.
This time he finally woke up, and his consciousness barely recovered. He looked at Chen Mu with a pale face, showing endless fear, and the trace of drunkenness had long since disappeared without a trace.
"I...I...I didn't mean to offend you...I didn't know you were the son of the Xuanguo Mansion...please forgive me for my offense..."
Xuanguo Mansion!
As a commoner in Kyoto, he is very aware of the weight contained in these three words!
Cui'er just sold herself to the Xuanguo Mansion to be a maid, so he was too afraid to seize these two old houses by force, let alone a son of the Xuanguo Mansion coming in person!
and.
The look in his eyes just now was something he had never seen before in his life. It even made him feel like he was dead for a moment!
Chen Mu looked at him indifferently and said calmly: "Do you remember everything I just said?"
"Remember! Remember!"
Liu Wan knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly in response, with blood stains on his forehead.
"Then one more thing, I don't want to see anything happen to their mother and daughter in the future. If anything happens, then you should pay for it together."
Chen Mu's tone was calm and indifferent, without any harshness or coldness, but the more it sounded, the more frightened Liu Wan was, and his heart was trembling.
"Yes Yes……"
Liu Wan responded tremblingly.
"get out."
Chen Mu waved his hand.
As Chen Mu said these words, Liu Wan and others finally ran out as if they were receiving an amnesty, not even daring to look back.
Seeing Liu Wan and others fleeing, Ren Yan was slightly relieved, but then his face became a little bitter, and he whispered to Chen Mu: "Second Master, you are really kind-hearted, but this Cui'er family...
You might get into trouble if you deal with it this way."
He could also guess half of the reason for Cui'er's death. Anyway, it was definitely not to seduce his master, but the nature had been determined. It would be fine if Chen Mu came over to smash and vent his anger, but this kind of condolences was hard to say.
It will cause some trouble.
He was also afraid of implicating himself.
So he hid outside at first and didn't come in until he heard something was wrong and was worried that something would happen to Chen Mu, so he rushed in in desperation.
"No problem."
Chen Mu didn't care.
There may be trouble, but after all, it's just a small matter, and he can handle it enough now.
Just when Chen Mu was thinking about what else needed to be done, suddenly a burst of laughter like silver bells came from outside and entered the bedroom, the sound was clear and sweet.
"Then there are also kind-hearted people in Xuanguo Mansion?"
"who!"
Ren Yan's expression changed, he yelled and looked outside suddenly.
But not a single figure was seen.
I only heard a series of laughter coming from different directions, and then gradually faded away: "I just happened to pass by, don't worry, you continue."
Chen Mu raised his head and looked in one direction, with a little glint in his eyes.
Buzz!
The whole world suddenly became transparent and illusory, looking through the eaves and layers of walls, looking at a figure that was quickly moving away.
The figure was petite and exquisite, but the figure reflected in Chen Mu's spiritual vision was extremely dazzling. The rich blood light intertwined all over the body seemed like a ball of flame, almost burning people's eyes!
The body is as agile as a rabbit.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the range of spiritual vision.
There was only a faint chuckle left, which gradually faded in the wind.
…
A hundred feet away, at the corner of the eaves.
The girl only wore a light yellow shirt, standing in the snow. Even when the weather was freezing, she didn't seem to be afraid of the cold. Her exposed wrists and ankles seemed more crystal clear than the vast white snow between heaven and earth.
"The magician...should not have entered Si Tiantai yet..."
"It's a pity that the grade is a little weaker, and he is from the Xuanguo Mansion."
Looking back at where she came from, the girl whispered thoughtfully.
In silence.
The person has disappeared.
Dots of white snow fell from the sky again, slowly burying the shallow footprints at the corners of the eaves, as if no one had ever stood there.
