The moment Mu Xi saw Pei Zhifan, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

If no one here knows her identity.

The only time bomb is Pei Zhifan.

"It seems to you two that this is an old acquaintance?"

Wen Renjue's gaze swept between the two people for a moment, and he suddenly smiled and spoke.

Before, we only knew that Mu Xi was a dark horse that suddenly appeared in the cultivation world, and no one had found out her background and origins. We didn't expect that she was actually connected to someone from the Pei family.

"It's not an old acquaintance, just an acquaintance."

Mu Xi spoke first.

Her eyes fell on Pei Zhifan, with a hint of threat in them.

When Pei Zhifan saw this look, he could only laugh at himself secretly.

Sure enough, she didn't trust herself.

But what was wrong with what she said?

Whether in the past life or this life, it seemed that there had not been much intersection between the two. In the past, she was like the bright moon on the mountain that he could only look up to, but now she is still free and easy, and no one takes her seriously.

"Yes, we have met a few times before, but I wouldn't say we know each other." He did not hide the loneliness in his eyes.

Wan Jingshan, who was sitting nearby, suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Why is he lonely? Why is he lonely?

We haven't met each other many times, otherwise it is impossible that I have never seen him before. So why are you being so sarcastic here?

This Pei Zhifan looks pretentious and hypocritical.

"Humph."

Mu Xi heard a cold snort in her ear. She turned her head to look at Wan Jingshan, then looked away inexplicably.

"Well, it's not a pity. In that case, I'll host you today. It's a good opportunity for you all to get to know each other."

Wen Renjue is a smart guy.

How could she not see the twists and turns between the two people, but she was really curious about Mu Xi, a celebrity who suddenly emerged from the cultivation world and actually knew the unique skills that they knew.

How is it possible to say that you are not interested?

Her elder brother chased down the mountain because of this incident, and has not returned yet...

"Oh, I didn't expect Miss Wenren to be so generous. If my family's skills were stolen by someone else, I would make that person a widower... I really didn't expect it. Isn't it said that you are a country of etiquette, so generous."

Wan Zi'an brought up this matter and even bowed in a very pretentious manner.

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone on the field changed their expressions.

Wan Jingshan did not expect that this time bomb could explode at any time and anywhere, regardless of whether it hurt the opponent or people in his own camp.

In fact, he never thought that Wan Zian's idea was very simple. Whether it was the Wen family or Mu Xi, one of the two parties was an enemy, and the other was a non-relative who also plotted against their family.

Although he owed Mu Xi a favor and came to help her get the information this time, he didn't care about the process. As long as he got the information, even if Mu Xi and the Wenren family's people ended up fighting, he would just watch the show from the side.

Besides, even if we take a step back, the secret book of refining equipment was not given to him, so he would not have any psychological burden.

Therefore, he would be happy to let them fight to the point of both suffering losses.

Wan Zian really deserves a beating. Mu Xi had already strongly resisted the urge to kick him out.

"Your uncle sent such an ancestor here to make things difficult for me, right?"

Mu Xi looked at Wan Jingshan with cold eyes.

Wan Jingshan also felt very guilty. The situation seemed to be out of control, so he simply shut up.

"It is true that China is a country of etiquette, but I heard that there is no need for them to over-glamorize their reputation."

To everyone's surprise, Wen Ren Jue had no intention of attacking Mu Xi, and there was not even a hint of anger.

She still smiled and said, "I heard about other people's skills, the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, right?"

"The skills of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons were lost hundreds of years ago. If I'm not mistaken, everyone should have a copy at home, right?"

She smiled as she swept her eyes over everyone present. Pei Zhifan, who was caught in her gaze, lowered his eyes without saying a word. Even Wan Zian turned his head away, pretending not to see her gaze.

"What do you think? Do you dare to say that there is no such a martial arts book in your family?"

"..."

"Alright, alright, stop asking! Just knowing is enough. Why do you have to tell it out? You already have it, so what? You lost it yourself, we didn't steal it. Even if we can't practice it, can't we just feast our eyes on it?"

Besides, if you accidentally leak out a famous martial art like the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, wouldn't these people pounce on you like mad dogs?

Wan Zian didn't feel that he had said anything wrong at all, and even felt very justified.

She was right. It was estimated that some of the aristocratic families who had the channels to obtain this martial art all had a martial art book called "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

But whether it is genuine or not is hard to say.

Otherwise, why has no one succeeded in practicing it for so many years?

"Of course there is no problem. That's why I also said that the lost skills were originally our Wen family's problem. Miss Mu happened to learn it. That was her opportunity."

Wen Renjue still had a smiling and indifferent look on his face.

"...hypocrisy." Wan Zi'an couldn't help but lose this round. In fact, he didn't expect that the Wen family was so unconcerned about Mu Xi learning their special skills.

On the side, Pei Zhifan also slowly raised his head, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Mu Xi.

In fact, Pei Jia has always been practicing his own martial arts and has no interest in the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. He only found this martial arts after he returned from the other world.

Because he wanted to find out everything about her.

Would she mind this?

Noticing that someone was looking at her, Mu Xi turned her head and looked back calmly.

“……” Pei Zhifan silently withdrew his gaze.

How could he forget? Mu Xi now seemed to not want others to know her identity.

"But let's just say that. I'm talking about Miss Wenren. Don't blame me. Aren't you confused? How come there hasn't been anyone from your Wenren family who has learned this technique in all these years? How come Muxi has learned it in just a few years... less than 20 years?"

"Of course, I'm not mocking you, because it's not just you. You said that the skills have been leaked for so many years, how come I haven't heard of anyone learning it? Have you really never doubted the problem with your skills?"

Every word Wan Zi'an said was heart-wrenching, and what he said happened to fit in with Wen Renjue's doubts and speculations.

The smile on Wen Renjue's face could hardly be maintained.

How could I not doubt?

A girl who came out of nowhere and is less than 20 years old has learned this technique. Even if she practices day and night, she has only practiced for more than ten years, but the entire Wen family...

Except for the martial arts technique left behind by the old senior who successfully cultivated it a thousand years ago, no one in later generations has been able to practice it again!

She also wondered if it was a problem with her technique.

But how could it be?

Hasn't someone learned it now?

The skills left by the ancestors are absolutely correct. She will not harm her descendants. Could it be that she really heard that no one has the chance...

"But don't be too depressed. Isn't there someone who has learned it now? Maybe if you beg them well, they can teach you a few tricks."

Wan Zian really deserves a beating. He really deserves a beating.

Wen Renjue didn't plan to be polite with him anymore. Her eyes turned cold and she covered her face with her hands. "Xiao Yu, I think the Third Young Master must be tired after the long journey. You can take him downstairs to have some rest."

"Hahahaha, I hit you right in the heart, right? Why should I be tired? Hey, why did you let me go? Are you looking for trouble? Don't think I can't beat you!"

Wen Renyu finally got the permission from her elder sister. She sneered and pulled Wan Zian over. "Okay, sister! I will definitely take him downstairs to have a good rest!!"

There was a strange and bizarre light in Wen Renyu's eyes, and before anyone could react, she dragged Wan Zian out at lightning speed.

It wasn't too far away, and everyone could even hear the two people cursing at each other.

"Go away, go away, go away! You damned little girl, I didn't pull all your hair out, did I?!"

"You are the dead yellow-haired one. You think you are so great just because you have a pile of shit on your head? If you have the guts, come to the back mountain today and we will have a fight right away!"

"Hahaha, come on, I'm afraid of you!"

"How dare you disrespect my sister? Today I will let you know who is the boss of this Wen family!"

"Come on, that's what I mean! Who's afraid of who..."

The sound gradually faded away, and when everyone came to their senses, they saw Wen Renjue put on his gentle and kind smile again, "It's just the kids fighting, don't take it seriously."

"Let the kitchen cook two delicious dishes for us to eat and chat."

Now, the only ones left on the field are foxes, and Wen Ren Jue has always had a fake smile on his face.

She fixed her eyes on Mu Xi again, "Don't mind me, Miss Mu. Although I was a little polite, what I just said was not false. The secret book of the Wen family was leaked hundreds of years ago. It has nothing to do with you."

"…Miss, you are too polite."

Mu Xi also looked at her with a faint smile.

To be honest, he knew nothing about the current situation of the literati's family, but when he stepped into the door of the literati's family, he seemed to have an inexplicable sense of belonging.

Especially when he saw Wen Ren Jue, the sense of belonging and pride that came naturally could not be concealed in any way.

"However, what Master Wan San said is also true. We do have some ideas in mind and would like to ask you for advice. We hope you will not refuse us when the time comes."

Wen Ren Jue did not put on any attitude, but instead gave Mu Xi the respect she deserved.

Mu Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's not really about asking for advice, but if you want to exchange ideas, I'm always here to accompany you."

She is now thinking that after meeting her, she found that her relationship with the Wen family did not seem to be that tense. Was it a mistake to let the Wan family act as a middleman?

Especially... Wan Zhongfang also sent Wan Zi'an over in a very unreliable way. He really did not live up to his name at all. He was simply afraid that everyone would not be able to live in peace.

Wen Renjue smiled and nodded.

From this moment on, there was more sincerity in her smile.

Wen Renjue actually didn’t know why.

When she saw this girl, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and a desire to get closer to her.

But it was clearly the first time that the two met, and this girl was the only one who had mastered their family's martial arts after thousands of years.

Logically speaking, she should have an instinctive rejection and jealousy, but for some reason, this girl gave her a good feeling.

Perhaps, it can be understood as personal charm?

……

Wen Renjue took people to the back mountain for a walk, and then sat down in the pavilion at the back mountain.

"The kitchen should be ready soon. Let's sit for a while and let you taste our local specialties."

Everyone naturally nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, the dishes were served by the kitchen after a while. Because the pavilion was very large, everyone did not feel stuffy in it. They could enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery, the singing of birds and the gentle breeze. It was a good place because it was located at a high altitude and did not feel too hot.

Mu Xi looked at the dishes on the table and felt a little emotional for a moment.

"Miss Mu has been staring at this lotus-flavored crispy fish. It seems like she likes it very much, right?"

"The Second Miss is indeed very observant. She can even tell what kind of dishes Mu Xi likes to eat." Wan Jingshan didn't know why, but he had been feeling upset since he stepped through the door, especially after seeing Pei Zhifan.

Although Wen Ren Jue has a good face, he will not let anyone lose face.

"You are really worrying too much, Mr. Wan. I only look at the people I care about. If you want me to tell you what you like to eat, I can't tell you."

"..."Mu Xi curled her lips.

want to laugh.

Mu Xi and Wen Ren Jue's eyes suddenly met, and then they smiled at each other, and they actually felt that everything was explained without words.

Wan Jingshan felt even more upset when he saw this.

"She likes sweet and spicy, sweet and sour, but not sweet."

While the two were arguing, Pei Zhifan unexpectedly interrupted them.

After he finished speaking calmly, he saw that everyone else was looking at him, and he suddenly felt something was wrong. "Sorry, I just think that people who like to eat this fish probably have the same taste."

After hearing what he said, Wan Jingshan finally felt relieved.

No, why should he be relieved?

Who is Pei Zhifan? How could he think he knew Mu Xi so well? He was Mu Xi's neighbor, but he didn't even say he knew her. Where did this Pei Zhifan come from?

"If you don't know, don't say anything, so you don't always think that others are very close to you, but the fact is that you are just imagining things."

Wan Jingshan couldn't hold back this time and spoke directly back.

This was probably the first unpleasant and somewhat sarcastic thing he said after he came to the scholar's house.

Wen Ren Jue was surprised for a moment.

I heard that the second young master of the Wan family doesn't care about anything, and is very good at pretending and enduring.

"Whether it's self-indulgent or not is not up to Wan Er Shao to decide. How can a third party explain clearly what's going on between two people? Wan Er Shao, do you think I'm right?"
