Chapter 45: Sisters
As they were chatting, they unknowingly arrived in front of the study.
Mu Zhi’an pushed open the door of the study and said, “Anyway, the current priority is to invite Senior Sister Lan to rest at the Mu residence for a few days. No matter what, I lured her out, so as the host, I have to properly entertain her.”
Wei Mengrou silently nodded.
This was indeed correct. Originally, Lan Mulian shouldn’t have come down the mountain so early, but she was “tricked” down the mountain by someone’s persuasion. No matter what, they had to entertain her, otherwise it wouldn’t be right.
Moreover… now whether it was the Bai family, the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce, or even the Gongsun family, they all hoped to invite Lan Mulian to be a guest at their residence. The Mu family naturally couldn’t fall behind either.
“Since you’re going to find her, why not go directly to the inn instead of returning to the study?” Wei Mengrou asked.
“Meeting face-to-face and chatting doesn’t have that feeling. Using a paper crane to communicate might have a better effect.” Mu Zhi’an smiled.
When online friends meet offline to chat, sometimes they can’t be as unrestrained as when they are online. Mu Zhi’an naturally understood this point well.
He walked into the study, intending to write a letter to Lan Mulian to invite her to the Mu residence.
At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly noticed a paper crane placed on the desk at some unknown time.
Mu Zhi’an’s eyes moved slightly. He picked up the paper crane, unfolded it and took a look. The content on the letter paper turned out to be the second letter he wrote to Lan Mulian the day before yesterday.
At that time, because the first letter he wrote to Lan Mulian did not receive a reply, Mu Zhi’an wrote a second letter.
“If I remember correctly, when this paper crane flew to the Two Polarity Sect, Senior Sister Lan should have already left the mountain… Why would someone still reply to me?”
Mu Zhi’an muttered in his heart. He turned over the back of the letter paper and indeed saw a reply to this letter.
“Could it be that the paper crane automatically flies to Senior Sister Lan’s side, and then after she went to stay at the inn in Tianxuan City yesterday, she received the paper crane and replied to me again?” Mu Zhi’an secretly made a guess.
Thinking carefully, this was the only possibility. The only person he knew in the Two Polarity Sect was Lan Mulian, and this paper crane should also only fly to Lan Mulian’s side.
If this letter was not replied by Lan Mulian, could it be her master?
Mu Zhi’an joked to himself in his heart, pulled out a chair, and sat in front of the desk. Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the letter paper, as well as the slightly ambiguous words in the letter, even he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Until he finished reading, even Mu Zhi’an was a bit dazed.
He didn’t expect Senior Sister Lan to have two completely different faces “online” and “offline”.
Online, she was simply a mature, sexy, and slightly teasing older sister, while offline, she was an ice mountain beauty.
“It’s quite interesting.” Mu Zhi’an said to himself, looking at the content in the letter.
He didn’t expect Lan Mulian to still have a cold attitude when she saw him yesterday, but the letter she wrote to him was filled with a hint of ambiguity.
But this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Mu Zhi’an pondered for a long time, then waved his brush and wrote on the letter paper:
“Senior Sister, when I write this letter, I actually have a very beautiful feeling. The last time we communicated by paper crane, you were in the sect, while I was in the distant Tianxuan City. But this time, after you came to Tianxuan City, there are some words that I still feel embarrassed to express in person, so I can only express them in writing.
I wonder if Senior Sister is still used to life in Tianxuan City? Yesterday’s meeting was hasty. I originally wanted to go see you after returning to Tianxuan City, but because I was injured and hadn’t prepared myself mentally, I hope Senior Sister won’t mind.
By the way, if Senior Sister doesn’t mind, I hope you can come visit the Mu residence. I have a lot of things I want to chat with Senior Sister offline (crossed out), in reality.
By the way, after seeing Senior Sister yesterday, it reminded me of a kind of flower called snow lotus. It represents loyalty, purity, arrogance and purity in love. Coincidentally, our Mu family has been using a special formation to cultivate a pool of such snow lotuses in recent years. I’ll give this flower to Senior Sister, hoping you will like it. When Senior Sister comes to the Mu residence later, I’ll take you to see the snow lotuses.”
Mu Zhi’an put down the brush, took out the snow lotus from the vase beside him, gently tied the flower root to the paper crane, and then threw the paper crane out the window.
Putting down the brush, he stretched his body and looked at the servant beside him, saying, “Prepare the carriage. I’m going to the Radiant Phoenix Inn.”
Calculating the time, by the time the paper crane flew to Lan Mulian’s hand, he would also arrive at the inn.
……
At the same time, on this day, Tianxuan City seemed to have reached an unprecedented level of liveliness.
The first reason was because the entrance examination of the Two Polarity Sect was about to begin, and one of the examiners, Lan Mulian, had already come down the mountain in advance. Another reason was that the matter of the three major families besieging the demon cultivators and eliminating harm for the people had also spread among the people this morning.
On this day, this matter had already spread like wildfire in Tianxuan City since early morning. In teahouses and inns, people were discussing it everywhere.
“Have you heard? It seems that there was a fierce battle in Dragon Head Forest yesterday. The Spirit Transformation stage experts of the three major families and the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce went out together. Today, when the officials went to the scene, they found several huge deep pits.”
“With the Spirit Transformation stage cultivators of the four major forces going out together, what kind of enemy did they encounter?”
A “know-it-all” put on a mysterious look and said in a low voice, “It’s said to be demon cultivators.”
“Demon cultivators?! How dare the demon cultivators from the Northern Realm cause trouble under the eyes of the Two Polarity Sect?”
This statement immediately sparked discussion and whispers among the people.
Demon cultivators were the mortal enemies of humans. It was only because of the protection of the Two Polarity Sect in recent years that the two sides had only had some frictions at the border.
Hearing that demon cultivators had actually secretly lurked in Tianxuan City naturally made people feel shocked.
“Speaking of which, I remember that someone said yesterday that the young master of the Mu family also went to Dragon Head Forest… Could it be that he also participated in that battle to besiege the demon cultivators?” Someone suddenly asked.
“Since it alarmed the Spirit Transformation stage experts, it means that the enemy they faced was at least also at the Spirit Transformation stage. How could the young master of the Mu family, a Qi Condensation stage cultivator, participate in the besiegement?” Someone immediately refuted.
“But there are also rumors that it was the young master of the Mu family who organized this besiegement…”
While people were still chatting, on a certain street, a carriage stopped at the entrance of The Radiant Phoenix Inn Inn.
Mu Zhi’an lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. He looked up at this inn decorated in a rather classical and luxurious style, and couldn’t help but joke to himself in his heart, “Senior Sister Lan even knows to stay in this inn. Did she look at a travel guide before setting off?”
Originally, based on Lan Mulian’s personality, Mu Zhi’an deduced that she should be the kind of person who doesn’t eat the food of the mortal world. But now it seems that she knows how to enjoy life quite well.
You should know that this inn is the best inn in Tianxuan City. If you are not a local, you may not know such a small matter.
How lucky is Senior Sister Lan to happen to be in this inn?
While thinking about these trivial matters, Mu Zhi’an stepped into the inn.
In Tianxuan City, there is nothing that the Mu family can’t find out. Before setting off, Mu Zhi’an had already found out the room where Lan Mulian was staying, so he didn’t need to specifically ask the shopkeeper again.
He walked up the stairs, thinking about how to take the initiative to speak appropriately when he entered the room.
At this moment, a tall beauty in a red cheongsam happened to walk towards him on the stairs.
She stepped on a pair of red embroidered shoes with her jade feet, her figure exquisite and beautiful.
Mu Zhi’an raised his head and took a closer look, feeling a bit surprised.
It was Feiying, the chief auctioneer of the Morning Glory Auction House.
Why was she also in this inn…?
