"Haha, sir, being petty is disrespectful."

The man in front, who was obviously the person in charge of the convoy, stuffed a small bag into the hands of the soldiers guarding the city, with a flattering smile on his face. The soldier quietly took a look inside the bag, and immediately a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Haha, Brother Yue, we are already acquaintances. What are you talking about? Come in quickly!"

After the soldier quickly put away the small bag, he made a gesture of invitation to the person in charge. The person smiled and led the convoy in.

There was only one spiritual stone in the bag. For Muning now, this spiritual stone was not even enough to stuff between his teeth. However, for these idle soldiers, one spiritual stone was half a month's salary.

The guarding soldier was in a very good mood at this time. In fact, he did not dare to stop the convoy. Who didn't know that it was the convoy of the Lan family in Tianxue City. The Lan family had always been on good terms with the city lord's palace and had business relations with Wanbao Tower.

Although there was not much contact, it was not something they, the little city defenders, could afford to offend.

What's more, there were several guards in the convoy just now who were stronger than him, and he couldn't stop them even if he wanted to.

But the person in charge of the team was very good at being a good person. He gave him the spiritual stone and gave him enough face.

Muning looked at the smile and flattery on the face of the city guard, and could not help but feel a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the Lan family is still doing well now. It seems that the relationship between the Lan family and the city lord's mansion is also good. I think back then, the Lan family was in the same camp as their Mu family. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, they have already become inseparable.

Right and wrong.

"Wait, stop, what's your name and why are you in town?"

The guarding soldier put away the smile on his face and stopped Mu Ning impatiently. What he hated most were people who pretended to be mysterious. People who didn't like to show their faces usually had some bad intentions hidden behind them. He

It would be better to cross-examine him carefully.

Muning stopped but did not speak.

The soldier became even more impatient. He frowned tightly and was about to scold Muning, but his whole expression suddenly froze.

The next moment, a look of fear suddenly appeared on the soldier's face. He knelt down on the ground and said in fear and panic: "Sir, my lord, this little man was blind for a moment and couldn't see the mountain with his eyes. He collided with you, sir.

Sir, please come in."

After he stammered, he realized that Muning had already strode into the city. When he looked carefully, he discovered that the figure shrouded in black robes had disappeared.

After confirming that Mu Ning had left, the man's tense spirit slowly relaxed. At this moment, he realized that at that moment, the cold sweat on his body had wet the entire armor, and the other guards were

The soldiers guarding the city and the people waiting to enter the city in several small passages were staring at him with wide eyes, shocked and confused.

The soldier held on to the spear in his hand and took a long time to stand up. His legs are still shaking and his hands and feet have no strength.

Seeing him like this, the soldiers who were with him quickly blocked their own passage, and then stepped forward and asked: "Xue Heng, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly kneel down and look so ugly?!" Others waiting to enter the city were also curious.

staring at him.

The man slowed down and glanced in the direction of the city. After confirming that the black figure had disappeared, he said with some fear and weakness: "There was a man walking away from me just now. I saw him wearing a black robe.

I couldn't see his figure clearly, and he didn't show his face, so I felt that he was suspicious. But I just asked a few questions about that person.

A burst of terrifying coercion suddenly burst out from my body! At that moment, it was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell was staring at me. I suddenly felt creepy, uncontrollable fear and trembling, and then my hands and feet went weak and I knelt down.

He fell to the ground. This man was so terrifying. His aura was like a big mountain, and I couldn't breathe."

"What? Is it really so evil?" Another soldier guarding the city frowned, his eyes full of disbelief.

The soldier named Xue Heng glanced at him, sneered, and said: "Haha, don't believe it, I tell you, I have only felt this feeling in the Lord of the City. I am afraid that this person is the same as the Lord of the City.

He is a strong man in the foundation-building realm!"

"What? Are you telling the truth?"

Another soldier came forward.

"Of course, why am I lying to you? I was so scared that I almost peed my pants just now!" Xue Heng rolled his eyes at the soldier and said disdainfully.

After the fear in his heart slowly dissipated, Xue Heng felt proud and excited about the experience of meeting such a legendary figure. After all, they would not encounter many people like the city lord in their lifetime.

The face of the soldier who asked him suddenly changed, "You must tell the city lord about this matter quickly!"

"Tch, will the Lord of the City see you?"

"If the Lord of the City gives you a reward, remember to treat me to a drink!"

...

Everyone immediately started laughing.

The man also smiled, but didn't say anything and hurriedly walked into the city.

"Tch, is this guy really going to tell the city lord?"

Another soldier guarding the city looked at his companion who disappeared on the street and sneered. Then he turned back to Xue Heng and patted his shoulder. He said with a smile: "After the duty is over later, let's go have a drink."

Pot, I’ll calm your nerves, haha!"

Xue Heng slapped his hand off his shoulder and sneered: "Whoever wants to drink with you, old drunkard, go do it yourself."

As he said that, he also glanced in the direction where the man left, hesitating in his heart whether to tell the city lord about it in person. After all, was he the one who met the man in black robe? But after thinking about it,

Xue Heng gave up this idea, because the City Lord's Mansion was a bit too scary, and he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly if he went there, so he might as well let that kid go.

The farce at the city gate gradually subsided, and Muning had already arrived at the family's gate. The red lanterns in front of the gate had lost their bright red color due to the damage of wind and rain, and became a little pale.

Is the family in such a state of decline just because their father died?

Muning secretly sighed in his heart. In his memory, the gate of the shogunate had never been so deserted. The previous shogunate had always been very lively, with an endless stream of people coming and going, all coming to visit their home.

, and now, there is not a single figure at the gate of the shogunate, not even the gatekeeper. The two statues of mythical beasts at the gate are missing a corner and have not been repaired.

This scene made Muning feel a sense of guilt in his heart.

It was his father who brought infinite glory to the family and led the shogunate to its peak. However, as his father's son, he was a born useless person without any talent for cultivation. After his father's death, he not only had no way to use it.

The family and its continued glory have become the laughing stock of the entire family and the entire Tianxue City. Furthermore, the entire family has also become the laughing stock of Tianxue City.

The family has declined like this. Over the years, Mu Ning has never had the shame to return to the family. He originally thought that he would never have the shame to return to the family.

But no matter what the situation was before, today, he Mu Ning is back!

"Knock knock knock!"

Muning stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, there was a burst of hurried and panicked footsteps inside.

"Creak--"

The door was slowly pulled open a crack, and half of a young man's head was exposed inside. Muning glanced at the young man and instantly remembered this young man. This young man was only two years younger than him. He was the first person in the family back then.

When they were young, the two of them played the best, but they didn't expect that after a few years, the other party would change so much.

"Who are you?"

There was panic and timidity on the young man's face, and he seemed to be frightened. Mu Ning's heart sank slightly, I am afraid that the family's situation is worse than he imagined!

He quickly pulled off the hood on his head and showed a faint smile to the young man in the crack of the door.

"What's wrong, Mu Feng, I don't even recognize the young master?"

The young man was stunned immediately. Mu Ning's words made his eyes flash with disbelief. Mu Ning smiled lightly and was about to push the door open and walk in. However, he did not expect that the young man's face suddenly changed and he opened the door directly.

Closed!

"Bang!"

The huge noise made Mu Ning confused. What was going on? Did Mu Feng not even recognize him?

"Humph, I don't know you. The young master of our Mu family died outside a long time ago. How could he come back? He doesn't care about the life and death of our Mu family! You are not the young master, so get out of here!"

Mu Ning heard that something was wrong, so he pushed hard on his feet and jumped directly into the wall. The young man was still pointing at the door and cursing. Mu Ning saw that his face was full of anger, his eyes were red, and tears were about to flow out.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Master?"

The young man was stunned, staring at Mu Ning with red eyes, and subconsciously shouted out.

Muning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately smiled: "Who said you don't know me just now? How come you can call me young master so smoothly?"

Realizing that he had been laughed at by Mu Ning, the young man finally reacted. He stared at Mu Ning, his eyes still red, and said angrily: "Humph! So what if I know you are the young master? I, Mu Feng, don't recognize you as the young master now."

, you haven’t come back for so many years, you are coming back,

I think you have simply forgotten that there is a Mu family in Tianxue City. Have you lived a good life in Tianyuan Sect these years? Aren't you the outer deacon of Tianyuan Sect? You are so famous, why are you coming back now?

The Mu family is going to be gone anyway, why are you coming back..."

"What did you say!"

The smile on Mu Ning's face suddenly disappeared. He suddenly took a step forward and firmly grasped the young man's hand that was waving wildly in excitement.
