In the city of Shenjing.

Niu Ben hurriedly passed through the powerful and wealthy area, crossed the seven-hole stone bridge on the moat, and showed the Mu Family Token to the two Lingxuan Realm cultivators guarding the imperial city, and then he was allowed to enter. After entering the imperial city, he ran towards the Mu Mansion vigorously, and he didn't even notice that several young masters behind him stared at him for a long time.

When he arrived at the Mu Mansion, he went directly and skillfully came to Mu Kun's courtyard.

The yard is not small, the east head is a lotus pond, at this time it has already entered the summer, the lotus flowers in the pond have bloomed six or seven, adding a bit of color to the green pond water. The water seems to be deep, but it is very clear, and you can see red, green and white carp frolicking and lingering under the lotus leaves, and occasionally some fish jump out of the water, their white bellies sparkling in the sunlight.

Next to the pool, there is a lush banyan tree, it is the height of summer, the banyan tree has many roots, hanging down to the ground one by one. On the other side of the pool, there is a stone table, and a rattan chair. Mu Kun was holding a beautifully bound book at the moment, reading intently under the shade of the tree, and a set of tea sets were placed on the stone table beside him, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, so that the air under the banyan tree was filled with that fragrance.

Niu Ben galloped all the way, but when he entered the yard, he slowed down, as if he was afraid of startling away the fish swimming by the pond. He cautiously came to Mu Kun's side, bowed down and said, "Childe, I'm back." ”

"Hmm. Mu Kun didn't even raise his eyelids, and continued to look at the book in his hand.

Niu Ben continued: "According to the child's requirements, everything has been done, and he has also accepted the Sumeru ring. ”

"Oh?" Mu Kun didn't move, just asked lightly, "What else did he say?"

"Childe, that," Niu Ben hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Fifth Tingyun actually knows that Wu Weiyan was sent by you, Childe, and he also knows that you are looking for the rain and double evils......

Mu Kun raised his eyelids and looked at Niu Ben, and said disdainfully: "Niu Ben, Niu Ben, I think only you don't know yet, the fifth Tingyun is not a character like you." ”

Niu Ben didn't understand Mu Kun's words for a while, and argued: "Childe, I definitely know that you sent it." ”

Mu Kun shook his head, smiled again, and didn't continue to study with this stupid hat. He flipped the page down and asked, "You haven't said it yet, but the fifth heard what Yundu said." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. After getting Mu Kun's prompt, Niu Ben recited the original words of the fifth Tingyun word for word. After Niu Ben finished speaking, Mu Kun took a deep breath and praised: "Niu Ben, it's not bad, although your brain is stupid, you are still very good at remembering things." ”

Niu Ben scratched his forehead and said with a smile: "How does Childe know that what I wrote down is the original words?"

Mu Kun smiled bitterly, closed the book and patted Niu Ben's belly, and said with a smile: "With your brain, can you say such a long speech, reasonable, and well-founded, and not humble or arrogant, sharp and sharp? ”

Niu Ben hehehehe

"Alright, you go down. Mu Kun waved his hand and said, "Remember to eat something, you've been busy all morning, your stomach must have protested." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Niu Ben touched his stomach, but he was really hungry, so he quickly retired to find something to eat.

As soon as Niu Ben stepped out of the courtyard, a figure walked out of the shadow behind the banyan tree, this was an older middle-aged man, he was wearing a robe, came to the back of Mu Kun, and asked respectfully: "Young master, what about the fifth listening cloud...... How to deal with it?"

Mu Kun put the book on the stone table, twisted the teacup and took a sip, then put the teacup again, pressed his hand on the stone table, and kept tapping his index finger on the table. The middle-aged man knew that his young master was thinking, so he fell silent and didn't make a sound.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Kun asked, "What do you think?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Wu Weiyan went to try the temperament of the Fifth Tingyun, which can be regarded as resolute and unyielding; Yuxia Shuangsha went to assassinate him, although it was not successful, but Yuxia Shuangsha was only a killer of Nayuan Realm after all, and the failure of their action can only show that the Fifth Tingyun Martial Arts Foundation is good; the young master gave him the Sumeru Ring, and he accepted it, which can be said to be knowledgeable about current affairs." If you analyze it like this, I don't think it's a worry, it's difficult for a cultivator in the Nayuan Realm to become a stumbling block for the young master. ”

After listening to the middle-aged man's analysis, Mu Kun raised his face and looked at the sky obliquely, and said, "My opinion is a little different." ”

"Do you know why I'm tempting him over and over again?"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, Mu Kun said, "I don't seem to have told you, what kind of person is Fifth Tingyun in the eyes of Allure, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

Mu Kun continued: "I have played with Allure since I was a child, and although we are a little estranged now, she and I can still be regarded as good friends. I've never seen Allure care about anyone, and the Fifth Tingyun seems to be an exception......"

The middle-aged man whispered, "Maybe it's because the fifth Tingyun saved the princess's life." ”

"I hope so. Mu Kun said, "However, what we are trying to do is not allowed to be left to chance." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's head lowered.

"Actually, this kid from Tingyun is quite appetizing to me. He has a strong temperament and has interesting conversations, so I always feel that if it weren't for who I am, I could have become very good friends with him. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly reminded: "Young master, don't let the master hear this." ”

Mu Kun waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay." I also sighed blindly and sighed, come and come, back to business. ”

"Judging from the investigation that came back from Jialing Province, it only took half a year for Fifth Tingyun to transform from an ordinary person to a cultivator of the Seven Heavens of the Nayuan Realm, and this kind of progress may be common in Shenjing. But in Jialing Province, in that down-and-out Fifth Clan, it is absolutely amazing. Moreover, you must know that the time of his rise was precisely after the fifth clan was confiscated, and he didn't even have that insignificant family support, but he still rose head-on and became famous in Jialing. ”

"Sometimes, I really think that people in high positions may not be scary, but this kind of person who has nothing and can stir up the situation is the real enemy. A second ago, Mu Kun said that he could become good friends with the Fifth Tingyun, but this second he regarded the Fifth Tingyun as the most dangerous enemy, "Through three tests, I think I know enough about the person of the Fifth Tingyun." ”

The middle-aged man listened silently on the side, and he knew that his young master was about to make up his mind.

"Then, I think," Mu Kun pointed his index finger and pressed it on the stone table, and two resolute lights shot out of his eyes, "This son should be punished!"

The middle-aged man didn't say much, bowed down and said, "Okay, I'll immediately ask Niu Ben to contact ......."

"Nope. Mu Kun stood up, faced the middle-aged man, and said solemnly, "This matter has to trouble you to run in person, the fifth Tingyun can get to this day, in addition to his own temperament, the person behind him is also an unavoidable existence." ”

"Young Master is saying," the middle-aged man asked, "the one who fights with Ye Jiuling, the ancestor of the Ye family?"

Mu Kun nodded and said, "Since you want to kill, you have to do it in one step." I don't like procrastination, so you can find some people from the Spirit Realm to do it. ”

The middle-aged man took the order and left.

Mu Kun sat back on the rattan chair, smelled the tea, and picked up the book again.

He enjoyed the moment, knowing that it would become precious in the near future. Moreover, he was very satisfied with his decisiveness and arrangement, and he deeply felt that his ability to know and use people well was even better than that of his father.
