I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Hearing this, the King of Yan exclaimed, but halfway through his words, the Princess of Yan held his mouth and reminded him:

"Impossible, I am the only one left in my lineage, this cannot be false."

King Yan thought about it, nodded, and felt that he was overthinking. Then, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Could this kid be the third brother's illegitimate child?"

Princess Yan burst out laughing and said unhappily:

"How is that possible? Judging from Chuyi's attitude towards him, it doesn't seem like he treats his elder brother or younger brother."

King Yan frowned, raised his hand to wipe his chin, and said uncertainly:

"That's the girl Chuyi. She's an outgoing girl. She taught the Qianyuan Liuwu to this boy."

As he spoke, he sighed slightly.

"What a pity! This kid's kung fu is comparable to mine."

Hearing this, Princess Yan cleared her throat and coughed twice, interrupting the King of Yan's attempt to save his reputation, and speculated:

"This kid's Qian Yuan Liu Wu doesn't look like he just learned it. He must have been practicing it for at least thirty years."

"How is that possible? This kid looks only about 17 or 18 years old."

Prince Yan directly denied it, saying that no matter how well Li Mu took care of himself, it would be impossible for him to show no signs of aging.

Princess Yan angrily bumped the King of Yan with her shoulder, signaling him not to interrupt her, and then continued:

"Could it be that he is a branch of the family that His Majesty has secretly cultivated? This kid's talent is extraordinary. And he is the first one in the new year."

"Okay, I asked Zou Pu about this, but he still didn't tell me anything. My cousins, the third brother is a playboy, and he even said that he wanted to marry Chuyi to my Li family, but it turned out to be all a cover."

As he spoke, King Yan slapped his thigh and said seriously:

"This boy is also favored by me. Now that you are in my territory, don't think of leaving. Ling'er is also of marriageable age. I think this boy looks pretty good, with some of my charm when I was young, and his kung fu is on par with mine."

Princess Yan reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Prince Yan, saying unhappily:

"You just met this boy, and you want to promise Ling'er to him. How can you be such a father? What if this boy is just good-looking but has bad character? Wouldn't that harm Ling'er?"

The Prince of Yan patted the Princess's hand, signaling her to be at ease, and said earnestly:

"The person that the Third Brother has his eyes on must be good. It will be too late if we don't snatch him away now. Besides, this guy is outside, so it's not easy to get to know him. I'll take him to the front line tomorrow. Once he's on the battlefield, his character will be revealed immediately."

Seeing that the Prince of Yan was determined, and knowing that she could not persuade him, the Princess nodded.

"I'll go with you and take a look at this kid."

King Yan waved his hand and said proudly:

"Yes, let the mother-in-law take a look at whether this son-in-law is suitable."

When Princess Yan saw that Prince Yan had already regarded Li Mu as his son-in-law before she had even said a few words, she shook her head secretly and said nothing more.

----

In the main hall.

Li Mu gobbled up the delicacies on the table in no time. It had to be said that only these rich people knew how to enjoy life.

Li Mu was really exhausted along the way. Looking at the food in front of him, he had no sense of being a guest at all. Seeing that the King of Yan and his wife had not come back for a long time, Li Mu stopped indulging himself.

The maids and servants standing by watched with twitching eyes, thinking that the young man in front of them was so handsome but had no manners at all. They would probably suffer when the hot-tempered Prince Yan came back.

The maids in the palace couldn't help but worry for Li Mu, but they didn't dare to step forward to remind him.

The servants looked as if they were waiting for a good show, waiting for the King of Yan to come and punish Li Mu.

Li Mu's chopsticks were reaching for the last piece of beef on the table, but he suddenly paused. Hearing footsteps at the door, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"The Prince of Yan wants to see me, so it doesn't make sense for the princess to accompany him, right? What kind of person is the Prince of Yan?"

Thinking about this, Li Mu kept moving his hands. Anyway, this palace couldn't keep him, and if they turned against him, he would just take Zhao Chuyi and leave.

Then he smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought that he and the Prince of Yan's Mansion really had a connection. He had just escaped from the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Yanshan City and ended up in the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Donglai Pass.

"Hahahaha, kid, how about the food in my palace?"

At this time, the wild laughter of King Yan came from behind Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded before swallowing the food in his mouth and said vaguely,

"Sure, I haven't had such a comfortable meal in many days."

Prince Yan and Princess Yan sat down opposite Li Mu. Seeing Li Mu's nonchalant look, he nodded secretly and then winked at Princess Yan beside him.

He is indicating that he has a straightforward temper, and you are the one who speaks to test it.

The Princess of Yan naturally understood the Prince of Yan's look and rolled her eyes at him calmly, thinking, didn't you treat him as your own son-in-law before? Now he is so cautious when asking questions.

The maids who saw this scene looked at Li Mu with even more fiery eyes, wondering if this was the illegitimate child of Prince Yan who could have been treated like this by Prince Yan.

Normally, even if he was the eldest son, if he made the slightest mistake, he would be reprimanded by the King of Yan, and in serious cases, he would be beaten with weapons.

You know, although the Prince of Yan is kind on weekdays, he manages his family like he manages his army, and the etiquette in the palace is even more stringent.

The servants who had been waiting to see Li Mu get into trouble were all trying hard to recall whether they had ever neglected this gentleman somewhere, and each of them looked a little uneasy.

"Your skills are extraordinary, I wonder who your master is?"

After receiving the secret signal from the Prince of Yan, the Princess of Yan thought for a moment and thought that since the young man was so skilled, he must be obsessed with martial arts, so she decided to start with Li Mu's apprenticeship and asked softly.

Li Mu swallowed the last bite of food, gulped down two mouthfuls of wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and bowed his hands to thank him.

"Thank you both for your hospitality."

The corner of King Yan's mouth twitched. He felt that the boy in front of him deserved a beating, but he also knew that he was no match for Li Mu. He felt a little unhappy.

"When you become my son-in-law, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Princess Yan was a little embarrassed, the smile on her face froze, she didn't know whether to speak or not.

Li Mu saw the expressions of the two and remembered the question from Princess Yan just now. He smiled awkwardly and said:

"I don't have a master. I'm self-taught."

Princess Yan frowned, with some displeasure in her eyes, and asked,

"May I know your name, sir?"

Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, the King of Yan on the side suddenly became anxious and said,

"No master? Where did you learn Qian Yuan Liu Wu?"

When Princess Yan heard that Prince Yan had just asked a question, she couldn't help it. She simply stopped beating around the bush and stared at Li Mu together with Prince Yan, waiting for Li Mu's answer.

Li Mu did not expect that the couple would suddenly mention "Qian Yuan Liu Wu". He frowned and thought.

"If Chuyi is the princess, then this "Qianyuan Liuwu" could be a secret manual of the royal family. Judging from the expressions of these two people, it cannot be said that Chuyi taught them."

Thinking of this, Li Mu clasped his fists and looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a serious tone,

"This was passed down to me by a relative of mine. I'm sorry I can't reveal his name."

After saying this, Li Mu stared at the changes in their expressions and thought to himself,

"I've been running a fortune-telling stall for a few days, and I've become more and more proficient at telling the truth in such ambiguous ways."

The King of Yan stared at Li Mu for a long time, then suddenly slapped the table and laughed:

“Hahahaha, then there’s no running away.”

After saying that, he flashed and appeared in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu was about to turn hostile in front of the King of Yan, and his fingertips were slowly gathering Qi, but he heard the King of Yan continue,

"I have a daughter named Ling'er, who is eighteen years old and as beautiful as a flower. I want to marry her to you. Just give me a nod. After half a month, when Ran Nuren goes back to the grassland, I will personally return to Yanshan City to preside over the ceremony for you."
