**

The atmosphere between the two people was a little too tense, and anyone could tell that something was not right between them.

Mu Xi sighed slightly in her heart.

Pei Zhifan looked at her frequently during this time. Mu Xi could feel it. Although he might not have done it on purpose, she felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"By the way, I heard that the two young masters of the Pei family came this time. Why didn't I see that little carrot head?"

It was also to ease the atmosphere between the two people. Since they were being stared at, Mu Xi didn't care about attracting their attention.

When Pei Yemao was mentioned, Pei Zhifan was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed.

"Yes, he came with me."

"Young Master Pei, right? When I came here, I saw him playing with my second uncle's sister. I guess they were having a great time..."

“Brother! Brother——”

Speak of the devil, and he appears. As soon as we talked about him, the little brat from the Pei family showed up, followed by a little girl with pigtails, running after him happily.

Pei Yemao saw his brother from a distance and ran towards him happily, "Brother, Xiaomei's house is more fun than ours. There are also wonderful shadow puppet shows. Xiaomei said she would take me to climb the mountain someday. Can we stay here for a few more days?"

The little carrot head is round and chubby, and runs very fast.

"Why climb a mountain? Aren't you already on the mountain now?" Pei Zhifan saw the child rushing towards him and reached out to catch him helplessly.

"Xiao Mei also said she would take me out to eat delicious food, so why don't we stay a few more days..."

Mu Xi was looking at him when suddenly the little kid turned his head.

"..."

He suddenly jumped three feet away.

"You, you, you, aren't you the bad sister?!"

The child has a good memory. The two of them only met once, but he could still remember Mu Xi.

"Hey, you still remember me?"

"Of course I remember you! It was you who interrupted my control of the corpse, and then prevented me from exchanging for candy, and even gave me a bone to get rid of. I'm not a dog!!"

The little boy was very angry, his mouth pursed, and he almost cried, "Besides, meat bones are not delicious at all... You are a bad sister!"

Mu Xi remembered.

She was in the hospital at the time, and Xia An made a pot of bone soup. When she went downstairs to take care of the child, she picked up a bone.

It was the first time she met Wan Jingshan. Wan Jingshan predicted that her legs would be broken, and she cursed Wan Jingshan to have his head broken...

"Oh, it's you two."

Wan Jingshan seemed to react suddenly, and looked at Pei Zhifan and suddenly spoke with a sneer.

"Come to think of it, when Mu Xi and I were in the hospital, there was a kid making trouble in the hospital. So it was you guys?"

He looked at Pei Zhifan provocatively, with a hint of hostility in his words. It was unclear whether it was because he disliked the other party, but he also made the relationship between himself and Mu Xi ambiguous.

"I didn't mess up!"

"Maomao."

Pei Zhifan called out to Pei Yemao, but he served him in bed throughout the entire process and never left Wanjing Mountain.

He was wrong just now. He thought that Wan Jinshan was on the side of the Wan family and was rude and hostile to him.

But now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

He seems to be...

Because of Mu Xi.

"Master Wan, please don't say anything careless. You know best what the relationship between you and Mu Xi is. Don't make up stories without any basis, lest you annoy others."

Once he figured this out, Pei Zhifan looked at Wan Jingshan with a terrifying gaze, and he no longer pretended. The word "cold" was not enough to describe it.

Wan Jingshan clenched his teeth.

"What's my relationship with her? How do you know? Maybe we just have that kind of relationship, but I don't think I need to explain it to you, right?"

Mu Xi looked over with her watery eyes. What nonsense were these two people talking about here?

On the other hand, Pei Zhifan laughed when he heard this. He was just out of his mind. How could he have thought that Mu Xi would have any relationship with Wan Jingshan? He smiled slightly and said, "Others are possible, but the Second Young Master should not have chased a girl before, right?"

He spoke with a confident tone, as if he had completely mastered him. Wan Jingshan was angry and asked, "Oh, you know this again?"

Pei Zhifan waved his hand casually, "It's just something I heard about it, not worth mentioning."

When it comes to hearing this kind of thing, everyone reacts immediately.

Wan Jingshan's expression changed again and again in an instant, and his earlobes turned red at the teasing looks of everyone.

It's no wonder Pei Zhifan said that. There was indeed an incident in Wanjing Mountain that caused a sensation back then. Even if others didn't know about it, the four major families that participated in the competition that year all knew about it.

If you don’t tell me, I’ll almost forget it.

"It seems that it is indeed unlikely that Young Master Wan would chase after girls." Wen Ren Jue couldn't help but smiled lightly. This simply aroused Mu Xi's curiosity.

Pei Zhifan also laughed, "That's right."

After hearing what they said, Mu Xi became even more curious.

Not counting the eighteen years in the other world, Mu Xi had never come into contact with people like them before. He had no access to the affairs of cultivators at all, let alone the family circles of cultivators like them.

"What do you mean? Why doesn't he chase girls?" Mu Xi moved closer to Wen Ren Jue.

When Wen Ren Jue turned her head, she saw Mu Xi's beautiful face coming towards her, and she was speechless for a moment.

"That's right. Three years ago, there was a cultivator competition held by the Hua family, one of the four great families. Wan Jingshan also attended. At that time, the eldest daughter of the Hua family liked him very much..."

"Don't say it!!"

Hearing the noise from their side, Wan Jingshan's face suddenly turned red. He turned around and stopped them in an extremely hurried and stern tone.

Mu Xi was startled.

Wen Renjue was also successfully stopped. After all, this happened in front of the person in question. But Mu Xi wanted to know so much that she couldn't say it or not...

Immediately afterwards, Wen Ren Jue blinked at Mu Xi, indicating that he could do nothing to help.

Mu Xi raised her head and glanced at Wan Jingshan. His face was very red, from his ears to his neck. It seemed like this must be a very interesting story.

No, she had to know.

"Wan Jingshan, you should know that I can guess and calculate, right?"

It's not like she's trying to save his face now. Besides, Mu Xi doesn't really want to pry into other people's privacy and secrets casually.

So it’s best if he says it himself.

"Yeah, you can't hide it from her, so why not just confess it? You can still be good friends in the future, good friends for life." Pei Zhifan was eager to watch the fun and force Wan Jingshan to tell him the story.

It's hard to ride a tiger.

Wan Jingshan really didn't expect that this year would be his disaster.

"Yes, there is nothing that cannot be said. You see, we all know it, and no one will discriminate against you." Wen Renjue came up and added another blow.

"And even if they don't tell me now, if I want to know later, even if I can't figure it out myself, I can ask others. There should be a lot of people on this hill who know it, right?" Mu Xi finally added a fatal blow.

Wan Jingshan didn't look at anyone else, his eyes were fixed on Mu Xi.

It was as if he was saying, it would be fine if others did this, but why are you forcing me to speak?

Anyway, no matter what, he had to say it now, whether he wanted to or not, to avoid misunderstandings if he did...

Wan Jingshan's face darkened. He closed his eyes and suddenly took a deep breath, then opened them abruptly. "There's nothing I can't say. I'm honest and have done nothing wrong. Besides, that thing was fake in the first place..."

When he opened his eyes, he saw that almost everyone had gathered around Mu Xi, and no one was listening to his explanation.

"..."

"No, is this really okay? The person involved is still here. Pei Zhifan, can you hold your tongue? Wen Renjue, where is your calmness and dignity?!"

He screamed desperately beside him, but no one paid any attention to him.

Pei Zhifan, in particular, was afraid that Mu Xi didn't know about his embarrassing story, so he exaggerated the story and told it in detail in a vivid and detailed manner.

"Can you please tell me the truth? I have never met that Miss Hua in private, okay?!"

Wan Jingshan tried to go in and interrupt, but no one cared. From the moment he agreed to let others speak out, Pei Zhifan and Wen Renjue's minds were not on him at all.

Only the two little rascals, Maomao and Xiaomei, looked at the crowd, and then looked at Wan Jinshan who was being excluded here. Pei Yemao suddenly sighed.

"Brother, you are so pitiful. They don't even want to play with you. Why don't you play house with us?"

Xiaomei agreed very much and jumped up happily, swinging her pigtails. "Great, great, I'll be the mother, you'll be the father, and brother, you'll be... my son, okay?"

"Go away." Wan Jingshan had a plain face.

Perhaps it was because his expression was too ugly that Xiaomei was scared and started crying. Pei Yemao didn't care about him anymore and had to comfort Xiaomei again.

Wan Jingshan stood alone listening to his own embarrassing story.

Here, Mu Xi had almost heard the whole story.

She was startled again and again.

Finally, his eyes opened wide, with some confusion when he looked at Wan Jingshan. He really didn't expect that he was... that kind of person.

broken! !

"No, I'm not!!!"

When Wan Jingshan saw her like this, he knew that she had misunderstood.

He opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Pei Zhifan with a smile, "Master Wan Er, what else is there to explain? It was you who told Miss Hua that you didn't like girls, wasn't it?"

"..."

Wen Renjue nodded reluctantly.

"I wasn't. Don't you know what I meant at that time? If I hadn't said that, she would have let it go..."

"Oh, so you don't like girls." Mu Xi blinked at him.

At that moment, Wan Jingshan, who hadn't finished speaking, felt as if the sky had fallen down, and everything in front of his eyes went dark again and again.

"I told you, I'm not! Please listen to my explanation first..."

"It's okay, we won't discriminate against you. People in today's world are very open-minded about such things." Wen Renjue seemed very understanding, and she even tried to persuade Wan Jingshan.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, "By the way, do you still like that one? His last name is Jiang, and his name is Jiang..."

"Jiang Yuhe." Wan Jingshan was helpless. Couldn't he just let him finish his words first? "But he didn't--"

"Yes, yes, it's him. You don't know how loving they were back then. Young Master Wan even took Jiang Yuhe to show their affection to Miss Hua." Wen Renjue covered his face and smiled.

Wan Jingshan directly performed a big surprise.

"No?! How come it's him? What's right?! No, after that incident we are no longer in that relationship!"

"Oh, someone changed?"

Pei Zhifan looked at him with a smile.

In fact, he knew that this matter was just a joke, and he and Wan Jingshan both knew whether Wan Jingshan liked men or not.

Seeing Pei Zhifan's gaze, Wan Jingshan had nothing to understand. This kid did it on purpose.

To defame his reputation and smear his good name?

Is this his purpose?

"..." Wan Jingshan's gaze lingered on Pei Zhifan for a moment, and then he saw Mu Xi who was very amused beside him.

Oh, no.

His real purpose should be to discredit him in front of Mu Xi.

I don’t know if Mu Xi, that fool, really believed it.

...But why does he care so much about Mu Xi's opinion?

"..."

"It seems that Young Master Wan Er is not very loyal. He changes people so quickly. It's only been three years?"

Pei Zhifan kept provoking Wan Jingshan.

This time, Wan Jingshan calmed down. He sneered and sat back down next to Mu Xi.

"I wonder if Master Pei has ever heard of this saying: those who cannot obtain something will slander others, and those who are always worried about gain and loss will act like a clown to attract attention."

"Master Pei, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"..."

Pei Zhifan had a cold face and said nothing.

It seems obvious that Wan Jingshan has reacted.

After all, in this kind of matter, it only takes a few words to explain the misunderstanding. Even if Mu Xi believes it now, Wan Jingshan will surely have plenty of opportunities to explain it to her.

"I'll say it one last time. What happened back then was just a temporary solution to get rid of Hua Wu. I really like women and don't like men at all."

When he said the last sentence, his eyes were fixed on Pei Zhifan, as if he was saying it on purpose for him to hear.

Pei Zhifan snorted coldly and ignored him.

"Okay, okay, everyone, it's just a joke."

Wen Renjue came out to smooth things over, and Wan Jingshan looked at her coldly, as if she was not the one who fanned the flames just now.

"The joke is almost over. Everyone can try the dishes... But, does Young Master Wan really not like men?" Wen Ren Jue suddenly turned around and asked him.

His eyes were full of mockery.

Wan Jingshan had just picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and hadn't put it in his mouth yet when he frowned and asked again, "Can you..."

"Shut up!!!"

Shit, someone stole my line?!
