The new head of the Mu family, Mu Zhixiong, had just taken office and was not yet firmly seated, so he specially held a banquet to invite all the major forces in Shengying City and even Yingtian Province.
In addition to wooing other forces to support him, this banquet also involved Mu Chenling's marriage.
The Dugu family and Xingchen Pavilion proposed marriage to Mu Chenling, but Mu Chenling and his daughter had already rejected it, but after Mu Zhixiong came to power, he proposed Mu Chenling's marriage again.
The reason why Mu Chenling's father said that Dugu Xingchen wanted to marry Mu Chenling was not such a simple matter.
Because the major forces in Yingtian State do not want to see the Dugu family and Xingchen Pavilion grow bigger, once Dugu Xingchen marries Mu Chenling, it will be equivalent to the alliance of the three forces, and a super power will be born.
Therefore, this banquet can be said to be a game between the major forces.
"I really can't believe that your position is so important in Yingtian Prefecture." Chen Xuan laughed after hearing what Mu Chenling's father said.
"It's not me, but the status of the Mu family." Mu Chenling took Chen Xuan away from his father's study and said, "The Mu family has an extremely important status in Yingtian Prefecture and even in the entire Shengfu District. The banquet will be held in the future.
, people from the Chen family and the Qin family will also come, and the opponent Dugu Xingchen will face is no ordinary person."
"No wonder, I can't see you feeling any nervousness. It turns out you have a plan in mind." Chen Xuan said.
"It doesn't matter. When a woman gets older, she will marry sooner or later. Women from a family like ours are just pawns for the interests of the family." Mu Chenling looked at Chen Xuandao with a look of helplessness, "Since you have to marry anyway.
People, take this opportunity to at least choose someone you like."
Mu Chenling thought of her brother. His brother once said that he was enough for everything in the Mu family, and she only needed to do what she liked.
This is how she has been here for the past 18 years, but her brother's life or death is now uncertain, so she should also bear her own share of responsibility.
"So you already have someone you like?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"Of course he's someone who can play the flute." Mu Chenling looked at Chen Xuan with a smile as bright as a flower.
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, unable to answer the question.
"Go and play a piece for me. I still haven't finished the piece just now." Mu Chenling put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.
…………
In the early morning two days later, the Mu Mansion became extremely lively. The servants in the whole house were busy preparing for the evening banquet.
At the same time, there were many people outside the house to greet the guests.
The banquet was very grand, and two seats were arranged in the front, one was for the current head of the family, and the other was Mu Chenling.
On the left and right sides are long guest seats. Of course, the closer to the person in front, the higher the status.
A low platform-like platform was built in the center of the spacious banquet hall.
There are various musical instruments placed on the low platform, and many people are busy on it.
"It really looks like a contest to recruit a bride." Chen Xuan came to the banquet hall early, looked at the low platform and said with a sudden smile.
"Hey, the flute player, why don't you hurry up? Why are you so dazed? Come over here and perform with us."
At this time, an extremely dissatisfied voice came from the low platform in front.
Chen Xuan turned around and looked at the owner of the voice with some helplessness.
He was called into Mu's Mansion as a performer, so he had to perform the performance. What's more, Mu Chenling specifically asked him to perform a song.
That's why he appeared in the banquet hall early in the morning.
The person who shouted to him was a girl, she looked like a piano boy, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Xiao He must not be rude." At this time, a woman in white clothes said to the girl in a reproachful voice, "This is Mr. Chen. His flute playing skills are extremely high."
The woman's name is Lin Shasha. She has a delicate appearance and a unique temperament due to her long-term exposure to music. She gives people a sense of tranquility at first glance.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, Xiao He doesn't understand etiquette, don't blame her." The woman then saluted Chen Xuan and said to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded and said not to worry, he didn't take it to heart.
The girl in front of her glanced at her mouth and said, "How powerful can he be, and can he be higher than Senior Brother Song?"
The woman was a little helpless when she saw that the woman named Xiao He was so rude to Chen Xuan.
"I'll go over right away." Chen Xuan said immediately.
The people on the low platform in front of him were, like him, invited by the Mufu to perform for the evening banquet.
And among these people, the two people just now are the most powerful.
Came to a sect called Tianyin Sect in Dongsheng territory.
According to Lin Shasha, the disciples accepted by this Tianyin Sect are all warriors whose martial souls are musical instruments. As the name suggests, the Tianyin Sect practices music theory.
Chen Xuan went up to the low platform, took out his jade flute, and played a song together with Lin Shasha and Xiao He.
The music is like the sound of nature, and the busy people on the side all showed surprised expressions after listening to it.
"Master Chen's flute skills are really amazing." Lin Shasha looked at Chen Xuan and said.
"Thank you for the compliment." Chen Xuan responded casually, and his eyes were directed towards the main entrance of the hall.
At this time, the guests had already entered the banquet hall.
"People from the Tiansheng Sect are here too." Chen Xuan looked at the first group of people and thought to himself.
From the clothes of these people, we can tell that they are members of the Tiansheng Sect.
The leader was an old man, and next to him was a man about the same age as Chen Xuan.
"He is the seventh holy son of the Tiansheng Sect. I guess the purpose of coming here today is to win Miss Mu's heart." Lin Shasha noticed the person Chen Xuan was looking at and said immediately.
"The Seventh Holy Son?" Chen Xuan frowned and asked.
He thought of Yun Qingya. At this time, Yun Qingya was a saint of the Tiansheng Sect, similar to the Holy Son, but he didn't know where she ranked.
Then, soon someone else entered the banquet hall.
Chen Xuan looked at the group of people, his pupils immediately shrank, and his face showed an incredulous look.
Luotian!
This group of people were from the Jiuyuan Sect, and there was a man in front of them that Chen Xuan was very familiar with. That man was Luo Tian.
When Luo Tian entered the banquet hall, he naturally did not recognize Chen Xuan who had changed his appearance.
"Senior sister, is that Luo Tian?" Xiao He asked immediately when she saw Luo Tian coming.
"Well, it's Luo Tian." Lin Shasha responded.
"I heard that he is now No. 203 on the Dongling List. It's terrible. It's only been so long, it seems like only half a year." Xiao He said with unusual excitement when talking about Luo Tian, "It's great to have talented people. If I were
If you can get into the top five hundred on the Eastern Spirit Ranking, you don't have to run around the Holy Mansion every day to perform and practice at the same time. You can go directly to the sect's Sound Hall to practice."
"You'd better stop looking at these people, lest you feel inferior." Lin Shasha joked.
"Why should I feel inferior? That's why flute players feel inferior. They look like the same age. One is here to marry Miss Mu, and the other is performing on the stage." Xiao He deliberately raised his voice and said, "And I'm a girl."
Yes, I won’t compare with that monster.”
"Mr. Chen, don't blame Xiao He for talking like this." Lin Shasha quickly apologized, "And, as she said, it's better not to compare with these monsters."
Chen Xuan smiled when he heard this, he was too lazy to compete with his defeated generals.
