The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 234 Asking for Advice

"Mr. Chen, please come in."

The steward of the Mu family respectfully welcomed Chen Pingan in from the gate of the mansion. In front, there were four maids holding lanterns to clear the way.

Chen Pingan walked along the corridor without saying much. He wore a knife on one side and a sword on the other, and followed the Mu family's steward into the corridor.

There are flowers on both sides, exuding a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

At the end of the corridor was a magnificent main hall. As soon as Chen Ping'an approached, he saw a woman standing there. It was Mu Wanjun.

"Safe." Mu Wanjun greeted with a smile.

"Wanjun." Chen Pingan smiled slightly.

The two exchanged a few words, and Mu Wanjun welcomed Chen Pingan in on behalf of the Mu family. A banquet had already been set up in the main hall.

There was a large group of people standing inside. When they saw Chen Pingan coming in, the leader smiled and bowed.

"Mr. Chen, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

Mu Wanjun had briefly introduced him when he came in. Chen Pingan naturally knew who this person was. It was the head of the Mu family, Mu Tianxiong.

"Master Mu, thank you for your compliment. I am honored to be here." Chen Ping'an also bowed with a smile.

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, no need to be so polite! Once you're here, it's like being at home, just relax."

Mu Tianxiong didn't put on airs and was very friendly.

After some greetings, Chen Pingan sat down at the table, and a maid filled his glass with wine.

In addition to Mu Tianxiong, there were seven or eight elders from the Mu family, as well as several young boys and girls including Mu Wanjun at the banquet.

Chen Pingan did notice that from the moment he came in, a young man had been keeping his eyes on him.

Chen Pingan recognized the other person's identity after a quick look.

Mu Feiyu!
The only one among the younger generation of the Mu family who has entered the third level of internal energy, Tianlin Jiangding realm.

At the beginning, when Chen Pingan was about to take up his post in Baishi City, the news of Mu Feiyu's breakthrough caused quite a stir in Weishui County. At that time, everyone thought that Mu Feiyu had a good chance of making the rookie list.

Unexpectedly, Mu Feiyu's name was not on the list of rookies this time. Instead, he was ranked 91st on the list.

Except for Mu Feiyu, the other young men present were all the key training targets of the Mu family. However, Chen Pingan observed that except for Mu Wanjun, the attitudes of the others towards him did not seem to be much better.

After a little thought, Chen Pingan understood.

It’s the nature of young people!
They probably thought that he had snatched Mu Feiyu's ranking on the rookie list. If he hadn't been on the list, perhaps the vacant spot on the rookie list would have been Mu Feiyu.

"Mr. Chen, come to think of it, our Mu family and you have a deep connection."

After the opening greetings, the elders of the Mu family began to liven up the atmosphere. They talked about their previous relationship with Chen Pingan, and even hinted that they had contributed a lot to Chen Pingan's promotion.

However, there was no mention of the fact that Chen Ping'an was suppressed by the Fang family and the Mu family stood by and watched.

Several people were like this, and Chen Pingan did not deliberately expose them. The atmosphere at the table was quite enthusiastic.

From time to time, elders of the clan would toast Chen Pingan, and their attitude was extremely humble. It must be said that as one of the four great families, the Mu family had a relatively accurate grasp of the ways of the world.

If you really want to please someone, everything you do will make you feel like spring breeze.

Even Mu Tianxiong, the head of the family, was very kind to Chen Pingan. He would tell them some interesting stories from time to time to bring them closer.

"Why are the head of the family and the elders so humble!?" "Yeah, what's the situation? He's just a teenager. Even if he has a little talent, he's just an ordinary person! Why would they do that?"

"That's right! Look, he's still holding it in his hands!"

"If you ask me, if it weren't for Wanjun, he might not have reached this day today!"

"You're right! Without Wanjun and my Mu family, he wouldn't even be here. Not to mention the distant past, let's just talk about the near future. If my Mu family hadn't protected him, he would have been targeted and killed by the Fang family long ago!"

"."

Looking at the postures of the patriarch and the elders, several young boys and girls at the table whispered to each other.

After all, they were still young, and their perspectives on issues were different from those of the people above them. They were already quite unfriendly to Chen Pingan because of the matter on the Rookie List. Now seeing the attitude of the family's usually respected elders towards Chen Pingan, they became even more unhappy.

"What are you talking about!? Shut up!"

At first, what they said was fine. Although Mu Wanjun felt uncomfortable, she didn't say anything to stop them. However, later on, the words became more and more biased, to the point that Mu Wanjun couldn't listen any more.

What do you mean if the Mu family hadn't protected him, he would have been targeted and killed by the Fang family long ago!
She felt embarrassed when she heard this.

At the beginning, the Mu family did nothing! Not only did they not do anything, they even stopped the marriage contract that was originally being discussed.

If not, there wouldn't be such a big fight. Ping An might have been a member of the Mu family long ago.

"What's wrong? Is Sister Wanjun trying to be disloyal?" A slightly younger boy named Mu Haorong, who was considered Mu Feiyu's loyal follower, asked with a slightly disdainful look on his face.

"You!" Mu Wanjun wanted to be angry, but considering the occasion, she didn't want to make too much noise. If Chen Pingan heard what these brothers said, then there would be no hope of winning them over.

"What? Am I right?" Mu Haorong continued, "If you hadn't insisted on transferring him to Baishi City to avoid the Fang family's revenge, I'm afraid the person on the rookie list now should be Brother Feiyu!"

"Yes, Haorong is right." Someone on the side echoed.

Mu Wanjun was furious and really wanted to scold them.

These fools!

She couldn't tell the difference between any occasions, and didn't know the painstaking efforts of the head of the family. Although she was angry that the elders didn't listen to her advice and gave up Chen Pingan as a discarded child, from the perspective of the descendants of the Mu family, she still sincerely hoped to win Chen Pingan over to the name of the Mu family.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have done so much.

As a result, her brothers
Incompetent bungler!
"Can you please speak a little more quietly?" Mu Wanjun was speechless as she watched the others speak louder and louder. She didn't know how the family trained them. They were just a bunch of flowers in a greenhouse, they didn't know anything!
They wanted to continue talking, but when they saw Mu Feiyu raised his hand, their voices suddenly weakened. Mu Feiyu stayed at home all year round and had a very high prestige among them.

Mu Wanjun was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Mu Feiyu suddenly stand up.

Ok?
Mu Wanjun had a bad feeling in her heart.

Mu Feiyu's sudden standing attracted the attention of everyone in the field.

Mu Tianxiong frowned slightly: "Fei Yu, what's wrong?"

"Third Grandpa, Feiyu has heard of Mr. Chen's great name for a long time. Today, I have the chance to meet him and I am eager to see him." Mu Feiyu bowed slightly, then walked out from the table and slowly walked towards Chen Pingan.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you have amazing sword skills and have also cultivated external martial arts skills, making you a powerful fighter. This time, the newcomer list has been updated and you are ranked 91st. Feiyu is not talented, so I would like to ask for your advice. Let's see what the gap is between Feiyu and the newcomer on the newcomer list?"

As soon as Mu Feiyu finished speaking, the scene became extremely quiet.

Chen Pingan sat at the table, looking calm and composed, as if he had not heard anything Mu Feiyu said.
