The middle-aged man was immediately moved and no longer had any doubts about the fact that Qin Yun could defeat the White Snake.
He quickly returned the greeting and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Qin. I, Wang Yanjing, please come into the room to talk first!"
Of course, Qin Yun saw the change in the other party's attitude, and felt a little sigh in his heart.
Before leaving the Tiancheng Sword Sect and coming to the south of Yanyun, Shui Wanning once told him that the disciples of the Sword Sect do not need to be secretive when traveling in Yanyun. Many times they can reveal their identities openly, but they must never make any mistakes.
Something to humiliate the master.
Just by looking at the change in the other person's expression, you can know how powerful the name of Jian Zong is!
But Qin Yun didn't know that Wang Yanjing's mood at this moment was as violent as the waves.
The Wang family was once a prominent family in Lu County, but it declined many years ago.
It was only in Wang Yanjing's generation that things improved a little. His sister married Mu Tieyi of the Mu family in Yanjing, and he himself joined the service of King Lu. As a result, the Wang family got help from both parties and became much more prosperous.
But as the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on it. Mu Tieyi was imprisoned for his crime, and the Mu family was in danger. After the news reached Tokugawa City, Wang Yanjing clearly felt that King Lu's attitude towards him had changed.
Despite this, Wang Yanjing is still willing to provide his nephew with the best possible protection, because this is the only flesh and blood of his beloved sister!
However, he understood that his power was limited, and he vaguely heard some rumors, and was always worried about Mu Fei's safety.
Now that he saw that Mu Fei had returned safely and had become a brother with a disciple of the Tiancheng Sword Sect who could defeat the White Snake, Wang Yanjing was naturally extremely excited.
As long as he releases the news, those with ulterior motives will definitely think twice about it.
The entire palace immediately started to move. A dozen servants and maids dispatched by Wang Yanjing were busy serving tea and water. They first settled down Mu Fei's accompanying samurai guards, and finally invited Mu Fei and Qin Yun into the small hall.
Mu Fei told Wang Yanjing the current situation of the Mu family.
Although Emperor Longwu dismissed Mu Tieyi from his post and was imprisoned, he did not blame his family. Mu Fei originally planned to do his best to rescue his father in Yanjing. However, the family members who were close to the Mu family in the past were afraid to avoid him, but many people wanted to add insult to injury.
.
Under such circumstances, the family's staff suggested that Mu Fei go south to join his relatives. If his behavior worsened, the Mu family could still leave a trace of their roots, but they did not expect that someone would intercept and pursue him along the way.
"This matter is indeed very strange!" Wang Yanjing said in a deep voice after hearing this: "I have inquired from many parties. I don't know who my sister-in-law has offended to be so assassinated!"
"But since Your Majesty has not been completely convicted, it means that things can turn around. It is right for you to leave Yanjing and come here. Otherwise, staying there will not only fail to save your father, but may even cost your own life!"
After thinking about it, he said: "Fei'er, please stay at your uncle's house for now. I will always pay attention to the news in Yanjing. If possible, I will ask His Highness King Lu for help. You don't have to worry!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Mu Fei said gratefully. He knew that Wang Yanjing would take risks by taking him in.
"Thank you for what?" Wang Yanjing shook his head and said, "There is only so much I can do!"
"I just want your mother to die young. Apart from your father, I am your closest relative. Even if I risk my life, I will ensure your safety!"
Mu Fei swallowed speechlessly.
"master!"
While the two were grieving, suddenly a group of people came out from outside, cheering each other.
The leader was a richly dressed lady with a plump figure and good looks. Although a lot of makeup was applied to her oval face, it was difficult to cover up the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
She frowned, and her eyes showed a look of suppressed dissatisfaction, which clearly showed her inner displeasure.
Behind the lady in gorgeous clothes were two men and a girl.
The man in white, who looked older, was tall and gloomy, his eyes fixed on Mu Fei.
The young man next to him was quite handsome, but his brows were full of frivolity, his face was pale and his eyes were wandering, giving him the impression of a slippery dandy.
The girl looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She was still pretty and cute. Her big dark eyes looked at Mu Fei and then at Qin Yun, but in the end they were fixed on Mu Fei.
Those behind were maids and servants, and a few of them were carrying food boxes and the like.
Seeing the person coming, Wang Yanjing stood up in surprise: "Madam, didn't you go back to Longguan to offer incense? Why are you back so soon?"
The lady said coldly: "I took the children to the temple to pray. I just hope that the Wang family can be safe and not cause trouble. I just heard that a distinguished guest has come to the house, so I came back quickly to see what happened!"
The words made people feel uncomfortable listening to them, and a look of sullenness suddenly appeared on Wang Yanjing's face.
But he still managed not to have an attack, and said with a forced smile: "That's just right, madam, let me introduce it to you. This is Zijin's son Mu Fei. He came to Tokugawa when he was three years old, and he is now an adult.
Got it!"
"Fei'er, come to meet your aunt."
Mu Fei immediately stepped forward to bow and salute: "I have met my aunt!"
With his intelligence, how could he not see that except for his uncle, others might not welcome his arrival.
But he cannot lack any necessary etiquette.
The lady's reaction was extremely cold, she just nodded and said, "Well, just come."
Wang Yanjing continued to introduce: "This is your eldest cousin Wang Xingwen, this is your third cousin Wang Xingyi, your fourth cousin Wang Wanjun, and your second cousin Wang Xingwu are serving in King Lu's army and are not at home today."
Mu Fei visited them one by one. Wang Xingwen's attitude was even colder than his mother's. He looked at Mu Fei with a somewhat unkind look. Wang Xingyi's playful smile was very informal, but the coldness in his heart could not be concealed.
Only Wang Wanjun bowed her knee and returned the greeting. After a few glances at Mu Fei, a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Okay, okay, let's do this first!" The lady looked very impatient: "You guys chat slowly, I will go back to the back room to rest first. Master, you can entertain the Mu family master yourself, and you can't let others say that our Wang family lacks etiquette!"
A group of people came in and left, without paying any attention to Qin Yun.
Mu Fei had never encountered such an embarrassing scene before. He froze on the spot, his face turned red, and he was completely at a loss.
Wang Yanjing was so angry that his face was livid, and he muttered: "My family is unlucky, my family is unlucky!"
He was willing to accept his nephew who came all the way to seek refuge, but his wife and son were obviously not willing to welcome Mu Fei, and expressed their dissatisfaction with this welcoming method.
Qin Yun has been watching with cold eyes.
Although he is not much older than Mu Fei, he has experienced far more things than the latter. In addition, he has been tempered by the Qiankun Tianmending Stone for hundreds of reincarnations, so he has a life experience that ordinary young people simply do not have.
"Uncle, since my aunt and cousins are not very happy, I think it is not suitable for my adopted brother to live at home." He said, "I think it is better to ask my uncle to buy a house for my adopted brother to live in the city. This will not
If there is a conflict with my uncle’s family, my uncle can also take care of his adopted brother, the best of both worlds!”
Qin Yun's words were also very rude, but he and Wang Yanjing were not close friends, and he felt sorry for Mu Fei in his heart, so naturally he had something to say.
"I listen to my eldest brother and won't embarrass my uncle!" Mu Fei took a long breath: "I also asked my uncle to help me choose a house. As long as it is ready and can be moved in quickly, the price is not an issue!"
From Mu Fei's point of view, Qin Yun's suggestion was undoubtedly excellent. If he really had to live in the Wang family, he might not be able to bear the anger of his aunt and cousins.
Wang Yanjing was stunned for a moment, then sighed dejectedly: "That's fine, I just wronged you Fei'er!"
Mu Fei shook his head: "It was Fei'er who brought trouble to uncle!"
Wang Yanjing didn't know what to say. After a long time, he raised his hand and patted his young shoulder and said: "Okay! Then I will go find a suitable house for you now. I remember there is a house two streets away.
The mansion is for sale, let’s go over and take a look!”
Mu Fei smiled and said: "That's great, please trouble uncle!"
Wang Yanjing smiled bitterly in shame, looked at Qin Yun and said, "My family is so unfortunate that I made Mr. Qin laugh!"
Qin Yun smiled and did not answer, but he thought that his adopted brother's uncle was still very good.
Bang!
Just as the three of them got up to look at other houses for sale, the door to the outer courtyard was suddenly knocked open with brute force, and the concierge guarding the door rolled to the ground in a state of disgrace.
Wang Yanjing was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly: "Who is so rude that he breaks into my official residence!?"
He was King Lu's confidant, had a formal official status, and was considered a prominent figure in Tokugawa City.
"Hahaha! Brother Wang, don't be angry, I was just joking!"
Accompanied by a burst of extremely arrogant laughter, five people stepped into the door one after another.
Walking at the front was a middle-aged scribe in green shirt. He was slender and had a sallow face. He had a half-foot-long beard floating under his chin. He also held an unseasonable splash-ink landscape paper fan in his hand and a pair of round eyes.
He kept going, showing a bit of shrewdness and ruthlessness.
Behind the blue-shirted scribe, followed four strong and fierce warriors, carrying swords and daggers with fierce eyes!
Seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, Wang Yanjing became furious: "Lin Degui, what do you mean?"
The scholar in green shirt shook the paper fan in his hand and said in a feigned surprise: "Brother Wang, I'm here to visit you. Isn't it the way to treat guests if you are so angry?"
Wang Yanjing shouted with a stern face: "Speak directly if you have something to say. We, the Wang family, do not welcome evil guests like you!"
Snap!
The scribe in blue put away the paper fan and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you and I are serving under King Lu. Your attitude is not right. I didn't have enough fun in the palace the day before yesterday, so I brought someone here to compete again.
