Time soon came to night, and Lin Lang also came to the city lord's mansion as invited.
"Crescent City Lord's Mansion, no one is allowed to enter without permission!"
The guarding soldiers stood in front of Lin Lang, blocking his way.
"I'm Lin Lang. I'm a friend of Miss Zhiyuan. Could you please let me know?" Lin Lang slightly cupped his hand.
"Hahahaha, you are the friend Zhiyuan talks about, right? I have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!"
When Mu Hengtian heard the movement at the door, he rushed over. When he saw Lin Lang, he was all smiles.
"This... must be Uncle Mu! I've heard long ago that the lord of Crescent City, Mu Hengtian, is very charming. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary!"
Lin Lang chuckled and said, since he agreed to pretend to be Mu Zhiyuan's sweetheart, he still had to do enough superficial work.
"Hahaha! Lin Lang, right? I've heard Zhiyuan mentioned you a long time ago, please come in, please come in!"
Mu Hengtian introduced Lin Lang into the lobby and personally made him a cup of tea.
"Uncle Mu, you are so polite!" Lin Lang took the tea with some embarrassment. Mu Hengtian didn't seem to be as stubborn as Mu Zhiyuan said.
"Hey! You should, you should! This girl Zhiyuan doesn't have many friends on weekdays. It's hard to find one at home. I can't neglect her!"
"Then I'm very grateful! By the way, uncle, where is Junior Sister Zhiyuan?" Lin Lang asked.
"Well... I heard from Zhiyuan that it seems that she was too tired from practicing the past two days, so she is still resting now. Otherwise, should I send someone to call her now?" Mu Hengtian's eyes moved slightly, as if he was hiding something.
"It's okay, it's okay! It's true that you have practiced hard in the past two days. You should let junior sister rest for a while. It's okay for me to wait for a while!" Lin Lang waved his hands repeatedly.
"By the way, listening to what Nephew Lin calls Zhi Yuan, is it possible that Nephew Lin is also a member of the Suzaku Sect?"
Mu Hengtian asked.
"Yes, junior sister and I are newcomers to the Suzaku Sect in the same batch. Haven't junior sister told you yet?"
This time, it was Lin Lang's turn to be confused. The junior sister had not told Mu Hengtian her identity before letting herself be used as a shield? No wonder Mu Hengtian's behavior towards him was so weird.
"Hahaha, I was wondering why I have rarely heard of a person like Nephew Lin. It turns out he is Zhiyuan's new friend."
"Yes! Even though Junior Sister Mu and I have known each other for a short time, we felt like old friends at first sight. Now that I think about it, it's really amazing. Maybe this is fate!"
Lin Lang had a happy look on his face when he said this. Those who didn't know it really thought that he and Mu Zhiyuan fell in love at first sight.
But when Mu Hengtian heard this, his expression immediately became a little unnatural.
"It's best to have a predestined relationship. By the way, Nephew Lin, I wonder how you did in this freshman exam? But since you know Zhiyuan, you must be a core disciple of the Suzaku Sect, right?"
Mu Hengtian asked tentatively, and Lin Lang naturally knew what he meant. A hint of bad taste suddenly arose in his heart, and he said with pretense of regret: "Hey... I am not a core disciple, so Uncle Mu took it wrong.
.”
"Oh~" Mu Hengtian's tone dropped three points.
He originally thought that if this young man was really a core disciple of the sect, although he was inferior to Yan Luohong, he would still be worthy of his daughter. Now it seems that he is just an inner disciple or even an outer disciple.
!
For an ordinary family, it is a great blessing for their daughter to marry an outer disciple of the Vermillion Bird Sect. Marrying an inner disciple is something that is even more unthinkable. But this is not the case for the Mu family!
Mu Hengtian is the lord of Crescent City, a sixth-grade official personally granted by the imperial court, and his daughter is as beautiful as a flower. People who want to chase his daughter can form a long queue around Crescent City.
.Some people like the third prince Yan Luohong proposed marriage in person.
Then how can you, Lin Lang, who is not even a core disciple, be worthy of being here?
"Although Nephew Lin is not a core disciple of the Suzaku Sect, he is still an immortal of the Suzaku Sect. With his own efforts, his future achievements will definitely be limitless! I am still very happy to be friends with that kid Zhiyuan!"
Mu Hengtian chuckled and gave Lin Lang a step to step down.
"oh?"
After hearing this, Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Then uncle may have misunderstood! Junior sister Zhiyuan and I are not ordinary friends, but we admire each other and have become Taoist couples! This time when I came to my uncle's house, it was also
I want to ask uncle to help us!"
After hearing this, Mu Hengtian frowned and remained silent for a long time. He did not expect Lin Lang to directly state the purpose of his trip.
"Nephew Lin, I have to admit that you are very good and very bold. But after all, you and Zhiyuan have only known each other for less than a few days! How can I trust her to you? How can you?
How do you prove that you really like her? If you can’t prove it, then it’s still too early for you to say it!”
Mu Hengtian smiled proudly. There was no such thing as love at first sight. The two had only known each other for a few days, and there was no such thing as deep love. It would be so easy to break them up!
"Uncle Mu is wrong to say that. Hearing that the third prince Yan Luohong proposed marriage to his junior sister a few days ago, uncle Mu immediately agreed. As far as I know, Yan Luohong and junior sister Mu only knew each other when they were children, and they have only met each other a few times.
God, Uncle Mu handed over his daughter to him, is Uncle Mu relieved now??"
Mu Hengtian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Lin Lang to know so much. At the same time, he was a little angry. This daughter has learned to turn her elbows outward before she has grown up??
"Hmph! Nephew Lin doesn't know the specific situation, so it's better not to talk nonsense. Nephew Yan and my daughter have known each other since childhood. Although they haven't seen each other for many years, I know Nephew Yan's character very well! Besides, the Three Kingdoms of Wind and Fire
The prince is also well-known among the people, so why should I feel uneasy about marrying my daughter to such a person? Huh?"
"Besides, with the status of Yan Xian Nephew, do you think Lin Xian Nephew is comparable to him? It's better to let go of Zhi Yuan as soon as possible and hand over Zhi Yuan to someone more capable to take care of him!"
Mu Hengtian simply made his words clear. Faced with Yan Luohong like this, what qualifications do you, Lin Lang, have to fight for it? Don't be kidding about the relationship we have known each other for three days!
"Hey! Uncle Mu thinks if junior sister is allowed to marry someone he doesn't like, will she really be happy??"
Lin Lang asked.
"Hmph! You can deceive your little girl with your sweet words. But you can't pass this test. Rather than believing your empty words, I would rather believe the reality. Nephew Lin, don't blame your uncle!
Weird... I can only blame you for choosing the wrong partner and meeting a strong opponent again!"
Mu Hengtian patted Lin Lang on the shoulder. How many sentimental people in the world have been defeated by reality, but Mu Hengtian felt a little sympathy for Lin Lang.
"Dad! Senior brother is here, why didn't you call me!!"
Mu Zhiyuan ran in holding her skirt and scolded Mu Hengtian in a sweet voice.
"Haha, wake up! I was chatting with Nephew Lin in a lively manner! I forgot to call you for a moment, hahaha! Nephew Lin, right?"
As Mu Zhiyuan said this, he also gave Lin Lang a compliment.
"Hahaha, Uncle Mu is worthy of being the lord of a city. His horizons and knowledge have opened my eyes! I really learned a lot from this conversation!"
Speaking of the words "learned a lot", Lin Lang deliberately emphasized his tone, which made Mu Hengtian slightly stunned.
Could it be that this kid has been persuaded by me?? That would be great! The rest of the daughter’s side will be defeated!
"Really?? That's great! I was worried that senior brother and dad wouldn't be able to talk together!"
Mu Zhiyuan said, jumping up to Lin Lang, and then hugged her arm, showing her incomparable skill.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Mu Hengtian's mouth twitched. On the other hand, Lin Lang showed no sign of taboo and showed an expression of incomparable habit and happiness.
This kid! Didn’t he understand what I just said?! How dare he be so blatant!!
"Haha, Zhiyuan! Regarding the two of you, Nephew Lin and I have just discussed..."
"How about it, daddy! Is Senior Brother Lin any worse than Brother Yan? Let me tell you, how bad can my vision be!"
Mu Zhiyuan said excitedly.
"Zhiyuan! Let go of your arms first! What a shame!"
Mu Hengtian hated that iron could not become steel and turned away.
"What's wrong, daddy!! I just like Senior Brother Lin! I won't let him go! Humph!"
Mu Zhiyuan couldn't understand that even his father looked down on people like Senior Brother Lin??? A close disciple of the Suzaku Sect! In the future, he would at least be an elder or even the leader! Not much better than the prince Yan Luohong??
"Let go if I ask you to! Nephew Lin is indeed very good, I admit it! But...hey, that's all. Your brother Yan will be coming over soon, and I'll let you take a look at it. Your Lin
Senior brother, what’s the difference?”
When Mu Hengtian said these words, it was equivalent to completely explaining to the two of them that in Mu Hengtian's heart, Lin Lang was inferior to Yan Luohong!
