Chapter 991: Presumptuous
"Lin Mu."
Lin Mu acted openly and aboveboard and said calmly.
"You are very strong, much stronger than I expected."
Nian Kang said coldly, "But I remember you."
As he spoke, he turned around and left in embarrassment like a wounded wolf.
Lin Mu's mood did not fluctuate due to his age. An opponent of this level was no longer his opponent. If Nian Kang hadn't been pestering him, he wouldn't have bothered to do anything.
What's more, he was actually merciful in that move just now. After all, this is not his territory, but the ancestral home of the Xia clan, and he doesn't want to cause any extra trouble.
The gorgeous palace is heavily guarded and filled with masters. It would be difficult for even a fly to fly in.
This is the leader's palace of the ancestral court and the residence of the Yu family.
Arriving at the palace gate, Lin Mu was led by the guards through the courtyard corridor and finally entered an elegant garden.
In the garden, there were two people playing chess. One of them was Xu Guan, whom Lin Mu had met before, and the other was a middle-aged man, sitting there with a sense of deep majesty.
Behind the two men, there were two men standing, a young man and a heroic man.
Lin Mu glanced at the chess pieces on the table. This was a type of chess piece he had never seen before. It was probably unique to Tianchen Continent.
Then his eyes turned to the heroic man.
This man was thirty-six or seventeen years old, and the energy in his body was surging, like a big knife that wanted to pierce the sky.
"The strength is not weak, he is probably a quasi-supreme."
Lin Mu still habitually uses the standards of Lingwu Continent to evaluate people's strength.
"The distinguished guest is here."
As soon as Lin Mu arrived, the two stopped playing chess, and then Xu Guan smiled slightly.
"Mr. Xu."
Lin Mu smiled at Xu Guan, then looked at the middle-aged man who was playing chess with Xu Guan, and said calmly, "Lin Mu, I have met Chief Yu."
"Yes, I am Yu Mang."
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Mu with a bit more satisfaction. Lin Mu could recognize him at a glance, which showed that he was unique, which made him feel a little satisfied. At the same time, he also felt that Lin Mu still had some discernment.
"So your name is Lin Mu. Let me introduce you to Xu Guan, whom you should already know. The other person is Wang Dongxin, the commander-in-chief of my Xia clan, and this is my disciple, Ren Yongyan."
In a few words, Yu Mang introduced everyone present to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu, however, was very confused. Yu Mang introduced these people to him and what they were doing. This reminded him of what Nian Kang said when he came to trouble him, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.
"Lin Mu, I believe Xu Guan has told you what I said. What do you think?"
Yu Mang asked with a smile.
"If it can be recognized by Chief Yu, that would be the best thing and it would be an honor for me."
Lin Mu spoke very politely.
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Yu Mang laughed and said, "What I'm asking is, what do you think of my little girl?"
"Princess Yuyue?"
Having stayed in the Xia Clan for a while, Lin Mu naturally had some understanding of the core members of the Xia Clan. He immediately said, "Princess, as your daughter, the leader of the Yu Clan, she is naturally the daughter of a million dollars, and is among the best among men."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have a very high opinion of my little girl."
Yu Mang laughed loudly, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. I believe that you will get along well with each other after you get married."
"..."
Lin Mu was immediately speechless, shook his head and said, "Clan Chief Yu, this kind of joke is not allowed. I don't care, but I'm afraid it will damage Princess Yu Yue's reputation."
"It seems that you are really thinking about Yu Yue."
Yu Mang smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. I have already announced that I will betroth Yu Yue to you, so there is no need to talk about hurting your reputation."
When Lin Mu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Guan. This Xu Guan didn't mention this matter at all when he first talked to him. If Xu Guan had mentioned it at that time, he wouldn't have come to the ancestral court at all.
There are already several figures in his heart, and because he practices martial arts, he often doesn't have time to accompany them. He feels very guilty for them, and how can he accommodate other people.
Xu Guan's heart tightened. When he saw Lin Mu yesterday, he felt Lin Mu's temperament and judged that if he raised the matter on the spot, Lin Mu might not even come to the ancestral court.
That's why he didn't mention it, thinking that as long as Lin Mu arrived at the ancestral court, under the pressure from Yu Mang and others, there might be some possibility of accepting it.
But now, when he saw Lin Mu's eyes, he knew that this person's will was probably stronger than Yu Mang's.
Sure enough, Lin Mu said: "I'm sorry, Chief Yu, Princess Yu Yue is a phoenix in the sky. Unfortunately, Princess Yu Yue and I have never met each other, and we have no relationship. I'm afraid I won't be able to do what Chief Yu wishes."
"Um?"
Yu Mang's face suddenly darkened.
He never expected that Lin Mu would actually reject him, and in front of others. This was tantamount to losing his face and putting his majesty at risk.
"Lin Mu, I have watched Princess Yu Yue grow up. She is indeed a good girl. As long as you get along with her, you don't have feelings for her now, but you will sooner or later."
Xu Guan had to persuade him to avoid a tense atmosphere.
"Mr. Xu, this is not my ambition. I came to Tianchen Continent only to spread the faith of Hades. I have no other aspirations."
Lin Mu was unwavering.
"presumptuous."
Over there, Ren Yongyan's face was blazing with anger, "Who do you think you are? The clan leader is willing to betroth Princess Yu Yue to you. It is your honor to burn high incense from your ancestors, and you actually dare to refuse?"
As a man of the Xia clan, many people regard Princess Yu Yue as the lover of their dreams. As a disciple of Yu Mang, he used to think that he was very promising, and this is undoubtedly the case.
He was already very dissatisfied when Yu Mang said that he would betroth Yu Yue to Lin Mu, but he did not dare to say anything because of Yu Mang's majesty.
Now that he heard that Lin Mu actually dared to refuse, how could he not be angry?
"I'm just a layman, and I only say these words from my heart. It would be unfair for Princess Yuyue to marry me."
Lin Mu was very determined. If he really wanted to marry Princess Yuyue, he would not accompany her in the future. It would be tantamount to letting her down. Instead of doing this, it was better not to start.
"I don't know how high the sky is, how do you really think of yourself as an envoy?"
Ren Yongyan said with a stern face, "I've seen too many people like you, who are just people who deceive the world and steal your reputation. Let me see how much you weigh."
As he spoke, he strode towards Lin Mu.
Yu Mang stood there without saying anything. If Lin Mu agreed to what he said, he would naturally stop Ren Yongyan, but now, he felt that he had to teach Lin Mu a lesson to prevent the young man from taking him too seriously.
Ren Yongyan is his most proud disciple. At the age of thirty-one, he is already a master of the seventh level of the physical realm and is proficient in his various secret techniques.
Uh-huh!
Ren Yongyan's move was like a white crane catching prey, with his hand like a crane's beak, pointing at Lin Mu's temple.
"The strength is restrained and the true energy is hidden but not exposed. It's very good."
Lin Mu commented on Ren Yongyan's move, and at the same time, he used his palm lightly to neutralize Ren Yongyan's strength without using any force.
