The Otherworldly God

Hou Qingyi sternly denied that he was a demon.

Although there are many retainers of other races in the Mu Mansion, the only Taoists who can be truly recognized by the Taoist Alliance are the human race. Even if other races work for the Taoist Alliance and the Mu Mansion, at most they can only be called Taoists of the Mu Mansion.

"The name Hou Qingyi sounds familiar."

As if afraid that Gongsun Shouli would remember something, Hou Qingyi immediately spoke up to stop him.

"He is just a nobody, so let's not talk about him. Come, let's eat and drink. Qingyi will drink first as a sign of respect."

Hou Qingyi was obviously toasting him, so Gongsun Shouli had no choice but to raise his glass in response.

"Hou Qingyi? Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like the person Master described."

Le Zhengli once again had an expression as if he saw through everything.

Qin Chu was right opposite Gongsun Shouli, or rather opposite him, and was always stared at by him with sharp eyes from time to time. Fortunately, it was him, otherwise Yaoyao would not be able to bear it.

"Miss Yaoyao just said her surname was Hou. Could it be that you are..."

Faced with Le Zheng Shuiling's speculation, Qingyi shook his head and denied it.

"No, no, there is not only one family with the surname Hou in this world. Even a few big families can't guarantee that there are no people with the same surname outside, right? What's more, it's just a family with the surname Hou, right, Master Gongsun?"

"That's true."

"Qing Yi offers a toast to you, young master."

Gongsun Shouli hurriedly picked up the wine glass, clinked it with him, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Le Zheng Yuhua had been paying attention to the girl under the cherry tree. He looked at Mu Xin, and the bracelet reacted again. Combined with his previous speculation, this prompted him, who had never been proactive, to toast Mu Xin.

"Miss Xin'er, Yuhua offers you a drink. Thank you for your hospitality."

Faced with Le Zheng Yuhua's uncharacteristic behavior, several people looked at him in shock.

Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming recalled that they had just seen Sanye who looked somewhat similar to Mu Xin. Mu Xin also expressed her doubts about Le Zheng Shuiling, saying that this was the first time she and Le Zheng Yuhua met. Then after the two of them identified them, they felt that they only looked alike at first glance, but there were still big differences upon closer inspection.

"Could it be that Brother Yuhua is interested in her? No, no, he was just asking about another girl."

Le Zheng Shui Ling looked at the two of them, as if there was some unexpected scenery.

"It's just some light wine and snacks, please don't mind it, Master Yuhua."

"The wine is good, the food is good, Miss Xin'er is too modest."

Seeing that he had finished the wine in the glass, Mu Xin also finished the glass in her hand.

Le Zheng Yuhua put down the wine glass, and the wine in the jug flew out by itself and filled the glass. This was all thanks to Yun Xiu.

Although he was interested in these spells, especially today, he truly felt what the world of spells was, but he didn't need to rush into it.

"Ms. Xin'er, Yuhua has something to ask."

"Excuse me."

"Where was that just now? Who was inside?"

Yun Xiu's hand holding the beans trembled, and she almost crushed the beans into powder, but her expression did not change; Qin Chu listened, turned his head to look at Mu Xin, and did not say a word; Yaoyao's expression was a little flustered, because it was because of her that they mistakenly entered the water mirror; Hou Qingyi looked like he was watching the fun, and grabbed the pipe to smoke.

Only Yinuo reacted the most. He had already grasped the sword that had just been placed at his feet, and his eyes were very sharp, as if Le Zheng Yuhua would kill him if he said one more word.

Gongsun Shouli had just arrived and was confused as to what had just happened. Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling wanted to ask, but Le Zheng Shuiling had forgotten about it for a moment, and Le Zheng Qiming didn't know how to ask. He didn't expect Le Zheng Yuhua to ask so directly, and they were all waiting for Mu Xin's answer.

If it were in the past, Le Zheng Shui Ling would have taken over and asked the question in her heart, but Le Zheng Shui Ling was also a smart child. From their expressions, she knew that this was not something that could be asked casually, especially since Yinuo was sitting right opposite her, full of murderous intent, and she could see that he was holding the hilt of the sword.

Le Zhengli took in everyone's performance just by moving his eyes around. He still had the mentality of watching the fun, but this time he really wanted to know the place they were talking about.

Mu Xin was not panicked, nor was she surprised by his question. She just sighed after hearing it. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, then opened them and slowly answered him.

“That is the Mu family’s biggest secret, and also the Mu family’s biggest weakness. If it were known by someone with ulterior motives, it would definitely be the best reason for them to get rid of the Mu family. It’s not that I don’t trust you.

That place, and her, are inextricably linked to me, Mu Xin. To be honest, it has nothing to do with the Mu family, Yun Xiu, Qin Chu and the others, and they know very little about this matter.

Mu Xin had no intention of letting others get hurt because of me. I hope Master Yuhua understands this. I also hope that the people just now can keep this secret. Mu Xin would like to thank you all in advance. "

They didn't expect that Mu Xin would actually kneel down and kowtow to them. Even Qin Chu and Yao Yao followed her and knelt down.

"Yaoyao/Qinchu would like to thank you all in advance."

It was this unexpectedness that made them realize how important this secret was to the Mu family, or more precisely, how important it was to Mu Xin.

Judging from the way she sighed just now, this secret might also be a burden to her, so they decided not to mention it for the time being.

Yun Xiu didn't want to watch the banquet remain awkward, so she quickly stepped forward to change the subject.

"This is a banquet, so of course we should eat and drink well and have fun. Come on, our chef has just prepared his specialty cakes for you. They are best eaten hot, so come and have a try."

Yun Xiu waved gently, and a small plate appeared on everyone's table. On the small plate sat a white pastry, as big as a fist.

"What's your specialty? Steamed buns?"

Le Zheng Shuiling was almost tired of eating steamed buns, and when she saw that there were steamed buns at this banquet, she actually felt a little disgusted.

Think about it, this is the Mu Mansion after all, and this is also Miss Mu's banquet. No matter how bad their chef is, his specialty is steamed buns. Yes, they are extraordinary steamed buns.

She stretched out her finger and was about to poke it, but Yun Xiu quickly explained it to her. As soon as she opened her mouth, Le Zheng Shuiling immediately withdrew her hand.

"This pastry uses egg whites, which are repeatedly beaten for 25 minutes. It is time-consuming and laborious, so chefs rarely make it. Occasionally, the young ladies will make a few when they are greedy."

"Wow, I really have to try it." Le Zheng Shui Ling picked up the chopsticks but didn't know how to start, so she just opened her mouth and took a bite. It was really not comparable to ordinary steamed buns. She couldn't help but praise it: "Mm, delicious."

"As long as Miss Shui Ling likes it."

"luv't."

Yun Xiu looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, and their eyes met. Yun Xiu nodded slightly as a greeting, and Le Zheng Yuhua also nodded back, then began to taste this rare pastry.

For a while, the conversation revolved around this time-consuming and laborious pastry.
