"It seems that Governor Xi has mentioned me to you!"
Mu Feng said with a smile.
"Yes! My father attaches great importance to you. Come on, brother Mu Feng. It was my fault for not recognizing you before. Now I offer you a toast to apologize!"
Xi Hongguang smiled brightly, took Mu Feng's hand, and led him to the pavilion where he was. After filling up his wine glass, he drank it in front of Mu Feng.
Mu Feng had a smile on his face and also toasted Xi Hongguang. The two sat opposite each other on the pavilion, chatting happily.
Everyone around was stunned. Apparently, they didn't expect that Xi Hongguang paid so much attention to this young man in black. Not only did he have a drink with him at the same table as a corporal, but he also had an easy-going attitude and talked like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Everyone could see that Xi Hongguang attached great importance to Mu Feng, and some people with keen ears heard Xi Hongguang and Mu Feng mention Xi Haochu's name many times.
Many people have speculated that this young man in black may have a close relationship with Xi Haochu, the prefect of Yunzhou.
"This...what is the origin of this guy?
Not only did he defeat Yang Jiazhi, but Xi Hongguang actually respected him so much and took him very seriously!"
Qin Wanlang looked at this scene with astonishment on his face, and immediately looked at Beichen.
Qin Keqing also had a dull look on his face, and looked at Beichen beside him with a questioning look in his eyes.
Beichen smiled bitterly and said: "You two, actually I don't know what Mr. Mu's identity is?
The reason why I met him is because he took our caravan’s spaceship on his way from Yunzhou to Youzhou!”
Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing were shocked. They did not expect that Beichen and Mu Feng were not related to each other, and they could not even talk about any friendship.
"It seems that this person is a person who values love and justice! Otherwise, how could he stand up for you and fight against Yang Jiazhi alone?
After all, Yang Jiazhi’s identity is extraordinary!”
Qin Wanlang sighed.
Beichen nodded and said: "Yes! If Mr. Mu hadn't helped me this time, I and the Beiluo caravan behind me would have suffered!"
Qin Wanlang nodded, looked up at his sister Qin Keqing, and said through a message: "Sister, if you have the opportunity, get closer to Mu Feng. Seeing as he looks like this, he may have something to do with the prefect! And I won't do it in the future either.
I object to your association with Beichen!"
Qin Keqing glanced at Qin Wanlang indifferently, and said "ha" in her heart. She silently expressed disdain for her brother, but she still agreed.
Although she was very disdainful of Qin Wanlang's snobbery, she was still happy overall, because this way, the family would no longer point fingers at her dealings with Beichen, and she would not have to deal with Beichen secretly.
After the small episode between Mu Feng and Yang Jiazhi, everyone's focus on competing in the arena became much less intense. Some people got up and left one after another.
Xi Hongguang is a well-rounded person. Whenever someone says goodbye, he will arrange for someone to see him off.
Soon, the young talents in the pavilions by the lake were gone.
At this time, Qin Wanlang came over with Qin Keqing and Beichen.
"I've met Young Master Xi and Mr. Mu!"
Qin Wanlang bowed to Xi Hongguang and Mu Feng with a slightly flattering smile on his face.
"Master Qin! What's the matter?"
Xi Hongguang looked up at Qin Wanlang and said with a faint smile.
Xi Hongguang was chatting happily with Mu Feng, but he was not so happy to be interrupted by Qin Wanlang, but he was very personable and did not show it on his face.
After talking with Mu Feng, Xi Hongguang found that although Mu Feng's cultivation level was not high, his knowledge was not low. Many of the things he talked about could often make him think deeply and have a thought-provoking effect.
This made Xi Hongguang admire Mu Feng from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also admired his father's vicious eyes.
"That's it! Miss Beichen is my sister's best friend, and Mr. Mu and Miss Beichen are old friends. I heard that Mr. Mu lives in the Beiluo Caravan! It just so happens that our Qin family team plans to send Miss Beichen to meet the Beiluo merchants.
Team, I am here to ask Mr. Mu if he wants to go with us?"
The smile on Qin Wanlang's face did not change, he lowered his head slightly and asked in a gentle tone.
Xi Hongguang first glanced at Beichen, then his eyes fell on Mu Feng, and asked with a smile: "Brother Mu, why don't you live in the prefect's residence directly! When my father returns, you can meet him as soon as possible!"
Qin Wanlang's eyelids twitched, and he was a little surprised. It seemed that he had underestimated Mu Feng. The prefect had such a high status that the first thing he did when he returned home was to see Mu Feng.
It seems that Xi Haochu attaches more importance to Mu Feng than he imagined! Mu Feng shook his head and said: "No need! I will stay in Beiluo Caravan during this period! After the governor returns home, he will
He will send me a message and I will come to the Prefect’s Mansion then!”
Seeing Mu Feng's determination, Xi Hongguang felt regretful but said nothing more.
"In that case, I will personally see you off, Brother Mu! This conversation with you has benefited me a lot. Next time, I will go to the Beiluo Caravan to find you and have a good discussion with you."
Xi Hongguang said with a smile.
"Haha! Of course it's no problem!"
Mu Feng laughed, stood up and bowed his hands, then Xi Hongguang personally sent Mu Feng and others to the gate of the prefect's mansion. He remained standing at the door until Mu Feng entered the Qin family's carriage and the carriage gradually moved away.
"Young Master, does the Governor really value this son so much?
Although geniuses are hard to come by, having a bad relationship with Yunzhou because of a genius is really not worth the gain!"
The wealthy young man following Xi Hongguang frowned slightly and said displeasedly.
"Father has his own considerations, but this Mu Feng is indeed an extraordinary person. Having him join the Genius Conference this time will indeed greatly enhance the strength of our young generation in Youzhou! But as you have guessed, the contribution of an individual to the collective
is limited, unless he can achieve very outstanding results in the Genius Conference!"
Xi Hongguang sighed softly and continued: "But obviously, this Mu Feng is only a little stronger than me at most, and it will not significantly improve the overall strength of Youzhou's younger generation! But let's not have too high expectations for this genius conference.
I hope, as long as it’s not at the bottom, it’ll be fine!”
Hearing this, the wealthy young man fell silent, and his heart was full of helplessness. He was also helpless against the poverty and weakness in Youzhou.
Now their only hope is that Youzhou will not be at the bottom of this Genius Conference. It can be said that these expectations are already very low.
"Now, what I'm afraid of is that Yunzhou will unite with other lower-ranked states. This is why my father is running for this, hoping to get ahead of Yunzhou and form alliances with other states that may have cooperation intentions.
"
Xi Hongguang spoke slowly. He knew very well that Xi Haochu's purpose of leaving Youzhou was to win over other states that could be won over.
However, he understands very well that Youzhou is too weak, and other states will most likely look down on it, so the probability of forming an alliance is actually not high.
