887 Where Have We Met?
Yinhuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask, but for some reason, as soon as he came into contact with Mu Zining's dark and quiet eyes, he couldn't speak.
After hesitating for a moment, Yinhuan said, "Then I'll go back first, young master, you have to come back quickly." ”
Mu Zining nodded and smiled: "Don't worry." ”
After Yinhuan left, Mu Zining looked at a place in the maple forest.
"Come out. ”
In the maple forest, a figure followed the sound.
It was a thin, black-clad and masked man.
"You can even find me, little one, you are not simple. ”
He said in a hoarse voice: "You also put that little maid away first, you are young, but you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”
Mu Zining said lightly: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. ”
The masked man slowly drew a short knife from behind his back.
"The important thing is that the young master of the Mu family, you have to come with me. ”
Mu Zining raised her eyebrows: "Oh, you want to kidnap me, do you want to get something from the Mu family?"
The masked man let out a low chuckle: "You are not very old, but you are very smart, you are the sister-in-law of the head of the Mu family, the most precious great-grandson of that old man, if his great-grandson disappears at his one hundred and tenth birthday banquet, he should be very anxious, right?"
"Okay, it's useless if you know more, so come with me, I don't want to do anything to children. ”
As he spoke, he began to slowly approach Mu Zining.
Mu Zining's expression was indifferent, without any waves.
He shook his head: "Well, you should be the only one, now that it is solved, most of them will come back later." ”
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The masked man's footsteps paused, and a chill inexplicably came out of his heart, and he subconsciously turned his head and was stunned for a moment.
I saw that at some point, a little girl dressed in white and carrying a pitch-black long sword, about seven or eight years old, was standing in the forest and watching him.
"What's that?" the masked man was startled, he claimed to be a seasoned killer, and the little girl appeared behind him, and he didn't even notice it.
Before he could make a move, he saw the little girl reach out and grasp the hilt of the sword on her back, and twitch it gently.
The blade, which was as black as the scabbard, revealed an inch.
Suddenly, the masked man's figure froze.
The next moment, the little girl withdrew her hand, and the sword was once again in its sheath.
At the same time, the masked man's frozen body, starting from the beginning, turned into dust inch by inch as if weathered, but in an instant, a huge living person dissipated into the air.
Witnessing such a scene, Mu Zining, who was only five years old, did not panic in the slightest, and seemed to have become accustomed to it.
He looked at the girl and nodded.
The girl didn't say a word, took a step back, and the figure disappeared into thin air.
Mu Zining paced like this and returned to the manor.
At this time, a feast was being held in the manor, people came and went, and the maids and servants on the road saw Mu Zining who came back from the back mountain, and they all smiled and greeted.
"Young Master, you're back. ”
"Young Master, you seem to have grown taller again recently. ”
"Young Master......"
This Young Master Zining is the only son-in-law of Mu You, the current head of the Mu family, and most of them are also the future heirs of the Mu family.
Although he is only five years old, this little master gives people the feeling that he is always much more mature than his age, and he is talented and intelligent, he spoke less than half a year after he was born, he was already literate and read when he was two years old, and now he is five years old, and he has changed a few teachers, and he is a well-known prodigy. And he has a gentle personality, he never plays with the temper of a child, and he does not have the arrogance of the young master, from the old ancestor and several old ladies to the servants such as the little maid, they all love and are close to this little young master.
When Yinhuan saw Mu Zining coming back, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't say it, she also vaguely felt that the young master seemed to have something to do to let her come back alone, and now she was relieved to see that the young master was fine.
She is Young Master Zining's personal maid, and she has been serving Young Master since she was one year old, and it has been four years now.
It stands to reason that she is the person who knows him best in the Mu family, and even the lord and lady are inferior to her, but Yinhuan always feels that his young master is like a layer of fog.
Although they seem to be very close to the people around them, no matter how close they are, they are like clouds, with a slight sense of etherealness.
"Young master, you're back, the master asked you to hurry to the front hall, there is a big man here today. ”
Mu Zining didn't care: "Old man's birthday banquet, aren't they all big shots?"
Yinhuan scratched his head: "I don't know, this time it seems to be different, you better hurry over." ”
Mu Zining nodded: "I'll get over." ”
The front hall was full of important guests, and the old man and the old man were all here, and as soon as Mu Zining walked into the hall, he was caught by the old man Mu.
Old Man Mu is now one hundred and ten years old, but his body is still healthy, and he seems to be in a very good mood at this time, and when he saw Mu Zining, he beckoned him and called him over.
"Zining, come here, come and meet the drunk seniors. ”
Beside the old man, there was a sloppy old man in ragged clothes, holding a gourd in his hand, and his hair and beard were messy, at first glance he looked like a beggar, and he was particularly conspicuous in this hall full of richly dressed dignitaries.
However, no matter who it was, when the eyes touched the old man, there was a look of reverence or awe in their eyes.
When Mu Zining saw it, he guessed the identity of the old man, stepped forward, and bowed.
"Mu Jia Zining has seen the drunken beggar's seniors. ”
Bian Ping City can maintain peace in this troubled world, on the one hand, because of the geographical location, and on the other hand, because there is a powerful person in the city.
The powerhouse of the Venerable Realm was eclectic, and before the attack on Bianping City, he had been hiding in the city as a beggar, playing the world, and calling himself a drunken beggar, he was the sloppy old man in front of him.
"Nephew Chen Feng, this is your little great-great-grandson. The drunken beggar touched his dirty beard and said with a smile: "It looks quite aura." ”
Mu Chenfeng is the real name of Old Man Mu, although he is such a senior old man, he is obviously still a junior in front of the drunken beggar, a strong man who has practiced for an unknown number of years, and it is considered a cross generation to call a virtuous nephew.
The old man smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, the seniors take a good look today, my great-grandson's qualifications are okay?"
In this chaotic era where demons are rampant, if you have the talent to practice and step on the road of cultivation, you will have more capital for self-protection in the future.
Today, he specially invited this protector of Bian Ping City, just to let him see if his great-great-grandson has the talent of cultivating immortals.
glanced at Mu Zining in front of him a few times, but the drunk beggar was suddenly stunned for some reason.
"Hey, little one, have we met somewhere?"
