Mu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted Tao Buwei: "Thank you, Taoist!"
Dao Buwei waved his hand nonchalantly: "How about the coffin you stole?"
Mu Tianci's expression suddenly changed, and he hesitated: "The Tao is not the Taoist master. The coffin disappeared yesterday..."
Yes, it was Mu Tianci who stole the coffin of Mu Duanru's wife Xiaomeng.
Mu Tianci was supposed to be handed over to Dao Buwei, but the coffin disappeared last night!
Dao Buwei was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, and licked the corner of his mouth: "It's been a long time since I tasted the taste of Junior Sister Mengzi. I was originally worried about not being able to find her, but it seems that she took the initiative to expose her."
But Dao Buwei thought that Mu Mengzi did this.
As he spoke, he said to Mu Tianci: "Give me a message to my junior sister Mengzi. Tell me that her father is in my hands. If you want to rescue her father, come to my wedding with her in three days."
After saying this, he walked away.
Dao Buwei was a little worried that Mu Mengzi would join forces with Kyoto Taoists. Although it was not a big problem, it would also cause him some trouble.
After all, he is only in charge of the Taoist school in Fangcheng. There are three other Taoist schools like this in China.
The strength of the other three Taoists is not a threat to him now, but if they join forces, it will be troublesome.
And the Demon Fox was sent to Qingqiu by him, and his biggest trump card was gone.
But fortunately, he had dealt with Mu Mengzi when he was in Fangcheng. All that was left was to hold her to death in her hands step by step. …
At this time, the Bai family in Kyoto.
Bai Lingran and Mu Mengzi sat in the hall to eat. After Mu Mengzi learned that she was Bai Lingran of the Bai family, he reluctantly accepted her identity.
And Bai Lingran discovered that he only had memories of Sister Mengzi when she was a child, and had no memory of Taoism after that.
It’s a pity, but that’s good!
Bai Lingran didn't want her to be sad because of Li Yanxiao.
But now, Sister Mengzi always sits there blankly, with tears flowing down unconsciously.
Bai Lingran asked himself why Sister Mengzi was crying, and Mu Mengzi also shook his head in confusion and said that he didn't know.
Bai Lingran also vaguely guessed something. Although he forgot it, his body still remembered it.
She can only hope that time can heal her little by little.
Just after dinner, Bai Lingran received a message.
The content of the message almost made her go crazy.
Yes, what happened in the Mu family has spread.
Mu Duanru stepped down, and Mu Tianci came to the throne. Mu Mengzi's wedding was held three days later.
Others were still shocked when they saw the former news, but they were full of doubts when they saw the latter news.
Who is this Mu Mengzi?
Because Mu Mengzi left the Mu family when she was a child, she has faded out of the public eye.
Many people speculated whether Mu Mengzi might be Mu Tianci's illegitimate daughter or something.
In the study of the master of the Yu family in Kyoto.
A handsome man looked at the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him: "Dad, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
The white-haired middle-aged man was silent for a moment and looked at his son: "Hongyang, what do you think we should do?"
This handsome man is none other than Yu Hongyang, whom Mu Mengzi had met in Fangcheng.
Yu Hongyang left Fangcheng University half a year ago and returned to the Yu family in Kyoto. These days, he also began to take over some of the affairs of the Yu family.
He was also vaguely being groomed to become the next generation head of the family.
Yu Hongyang was silent for a moment and asked, "Father, is this Mu Mengzi the daughter of Mu Duanru?"
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "There is only one person named Mu Mengzi in the Mu family, what do you think?"
After saying these words, Yu Hongyang unconsciously thought of Namu Mengzi from Fangcheng.
However, she and Li Yanxiao disappeared before they came to Kyoto to participate in the National Campus Academic Competition.
Yu Hongyang also asked people to investigate and look for them, but failed to find them.
Mengzi and Li Yanxiao seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Yu Hongyang came back to his senses and analyzed: "In three days, that Mu Tianci will probably announce that he has ascended to the position of the head of the Mu family in the name of the wedding!"
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns sighed: "This is obvious. Aren't you curious who is the protagonist of this wedding?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Hongyang was stunned. He subconsciously asked: "Isn't it Mu Tianci?"
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns shook his head: "Mu Tianci never said that he wanted to marry Mu Mengzi from the beginning to the end!"
Yu Hongyang's eyes widened: "What does father mean..."
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns leaned on the sandalwood chair and said earnestly: "Hongyang! You still have a long way to go, and you can never just take things at face value!"
Yu Hongyang lowered his head and listened respectfully to his father's teachings.
Yu Hongyang's father continued: "The protagonist of this wedding is probably the person who helps Mu Tianci win the throne this time!"
At this moment, Yu Hongyang felt as if he could see the blue sky through the clouds: "What should we do, father?"
This goes back to the question at the beginning.
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns looked at Yu Hongyang with a deep look: "Hongyang, I want to see how you handle this matter."
When Yu Hongyang heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.
This is not just because his father wants to see how he handles it, but because his father wants to test his abilities.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke out his analysis: "Mu Duanru's methods and abilities are not comparable to Mu Tianci's, and the person who helped Mu Tianci behind the scenes may not be simple. This time, even Mu Duanru was in trouble."
The white-haired middle-aged man nodded and agreed with Yu Hongyang's analysis.
Yu Hongyang continued: "The person behind this Mu Tianci is not a simple person. I suggest not to offend him yet. We will attend the wedding in three days, but we must attend with a wait-and-see attitude!"
After Yu Hongyang said this, the middle-aged man with white hair and temples nodded, but then sighed and shook his head: "Hongyang! Your plan is neither good nor bad."
"I think it still won't work!" Yu Hongyang's father gave his final comment.
This made Yu Hongyang stunned, and he quickly humbly asked his father: "Is the analysis wrong because the father is a child?"
Yu Hongyang's father shook his head: "Your analysis is not bad at all, but you lack foresight!"
Yu Hongyang did not speak and listened quietly.
"You should know about the civil strife in the Mu family more than ten years ago, right?" Yu Hongyang's father said slowly.
Yu Hongyang nodded: "My child, I understand!"
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns sighed and shook his head: "There is a saying that it is easy to read on paper. You don't know how terrible the civil strife in the Mu family was."
"That civil strife almost caused the huge Mu family to be expelled from Kyoto! No one was optimistic about the Mu family at that time."
The middle-aged man with white hair and temples took a long breath as he spoke: "But no one expected that Mu Duan Ruji was in danger and single-handedly pulled the entire Mu family back from the edge of life and death."
His eyes seemed to go back to the original moment: "Not only did he bring the Mu family back from the moment of life and death, but he also brought the Mu family back to its peak in less than ten years!"
As he said that, he looked at Yu Hongyang and asked with a smile: "I'm not afraid to tell you, your father and I have never served anyone in my life, and this Mu Duan Ru is one of them!"
Although Yu Hongyang could not feel how powerful Mu Duanru was expressed in his father's words, he could confirm from his father's eyes that he really admired Mu Duanru.
But this time, why did Mu Duanru fall into the trap of Mu Tianci, a clown?
This puzzled Yu Hongyang.
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns seemed to have guessed what Yu Hongyang was thinking. As the saying goes, a father knows his son, and this sentence is true.
"Are you curious why Mu Duanru fell into the hands of Mu Tianci?" Yu Hongyang's father said.
Yu Hongyang didn't hide anything. He nodded and asked his father: "I don't know, please answer my father's question."
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns raised the corner of his mouth: "You don't think Mu Duanru is old, do you? You are totally wrong to think that way. Maybe this is a trap set by the old traitor Mu Duanru?"
This sentence immediately made Yu Hongyang's brows jump. Although he had had this suspicion, it was denied in less than a second.
Isn't this a bit too much of a sacrifice using myself as bait in this trap?
The middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns leaned back on the chair, with a deep look in his eyes: "Never underestimate an old fox. Do you think you are a hunter? In fact, you are the prey!"
Yu Hongyang calmed down and asked the previous question again: "Father, how should we deal with this matter?"
The white-haired middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes: "We must support Mu Tianci!"
Yu Hongyang showed doubts. Why did his father support Mu Tianci in the end after saying so much?
Yu Hongyang's father was silent for a moment and then added: "Of course we must also support Mu Duanru. As businessmen, there is nothing wrong with our own investments. No matter who laughs, it will be fine if they have a good relationship with us in the end!"...
At this time, in the west wing of the Mu family's ancestral house.
Mu Duanru did not light the lamp. He sat alone in front of the window and looked at the cold moonlight outside.
He had been imprisoned, but he heard that Dao Buwei was using himself as a threat to force his daughter to show up.
Mu Duanru didn't show any expression after learning this.
After he looked at the moonlight like that for about half an hour, a shadow fell behind him, and a cotton coat was draped on him.
Mu Duanru didn't look back, as if he knew who was coming, he asked, "How do you find Xiaomeng?"
The figure behind him revealed his true appearance. It was none other than Butler Li from the Mu family. He was also the one who followed Mu Mengzi's mother, Li Xiaomeng, into the Mu family.
Butler Li said in a deep voice, "Someone took the lady away before me!"
This sentence made Mu Duanru frown: "Do you know who the other party is?"
Butler Li shook his head: "The other party is stronger than me!"
Mu Duanru was silent for a long moment, his eyes became sharper, and his voice was extremely cold: "Forget it, let's put aside Xiaomeng's matter. How are the things I arranged?"
Butler Li nodded: "After reading the information, Wei Ga from the Kyoto Taoist School has already agreed to come down and do what Taoists won't do!"
Mu Duanru showed a terrifying sneer and said: "I'm just an immortal cultivator. Even if an immortal comes and dares to hurt Mengzi, I, a mortal, will kill the immortal!"
Butler Li behind him was silent for a moment and asked: "What if Mengzi comes back? Will it affect the plan?"
Mu Duanru did not speak. He had been avoiding this problem.
After Mengzi left the Mu family, he had always relied on work to numb himself, but in the dead of night, he always recalled the scenes of Mu Mengzi's childhood.
