NOVEL NEXT Everyone thinks that I created cultivation
Chapter 34
"Yan Wei made an appointment with us at noon, and it's almost time now." Mu Huarong stood in front of the window, watching the traffic going downstairs.
There are a lot of carriages coming and going under Juxian Restaurant, among which there are many exquisitely decorated ones.Every time an exquisite carriage appeared, Mu Huarong always took a second look.If a carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, he would not even dare to blink his eyes.There were at least dozens of carriages that caught his eyes at this moment, and the person they had been waiting for for a long time had not yet appeared.
"They will arrive at the restaurant soon." Lin Lexian put down the teacup in his hand and glanced out the window.
The more valuable your status is, the more you should pay attention to your speech and behavior.As a master, since he agreed to their invitation, he will definitely attend the appointment on time.
Mu Huarong was also aware of this truth, and he nodded in agreement.The next moment, he saw another carriage parked in front of Juxian Restaurant, and his eyes lit up when he saw the person who came out first.
"Father-in-law, Yan Wei has arrived." Mu Huarong was well aware of the vigilance of the master, so he quickly closed the window and did not dare to look at it.
Lin Lexian got up from the seat, "Follow me downstairs to greet you."
"Yes." Mu Huarong straightened his clothes subconsciously, and then followed Lin Lexian's footsteps.
Lin Lexian and Mu Huarong only went down one flight of stairs, and met the waiter who led Yan Wei and the other upstairs.
"Xiaguan..." Yan Wei prepared to salute when he saw the two of them.
Lin Lexian personally stretched out his hand to help Yan Wei up, "You and I are walking outside now, don't care about these empty etiquette."
"That's right, these etiquettes just need to be paid attention to in the court." Mu Huarong agreed.
"Thank you two adults." After Yan Wei thanked, he turned his head and glanced at the people beside him.
Lin Lexian had long noticed the man beside Yan Wei, although he was silent, his appearance and demeanor were hard to ignore.
"This is not a place for conversation. Tea has been prepared in the box not far in front, just waiting for the distinguished guests to come to the appointment." Lin Lexian stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture to Mu Jin.
Mu Jin nodded and walked in the front.
"Grandmaster, please take your seat." Lin Lexian gave up the main seat early in the morning, and they had never touched the main seat while waiting here before.
At the same time as Lin Lexian spoke, Mu Huarong pulled out the main seat with a wink.
Mu Jin glanced at Mu Huarong before sitting down at the main seat.
From Mu Huarong's performance at this time, it is not difficult to see that he did not have any doubts about Mu Jin's identity, and he completely regarded him as a strange master-level powerhouse.
After Mu Jin established his foundation, the appearance of this body has undergone some changes.If it were an ordinary person, there would not be such a big change, but the difference between his body and the appearance of his spiritual consciousness is too large. As his cultivation level increases step by step, he will become more and more similar to the appearance of his spiritual consciousness until it is completely consistent.
The big change in appearance is only compared to ordinary practitioners. In fact, his current face is [-] to [-]% similar to the original body at least.
Mu Jin had already known from the original body's memory of the poor number of meetings with Mu Huarong that the rumors were not credible, but he still underestimated how much Mu Huarong ignored the original body.Seeing his appearance, Mu Huarong didn't show any emotion.
"This is Mu Jin, Master Mu." Yan Wei poured tea for several people and introduced. He first put the tea in front of Mu Jin.Because he knew a little about the Mu family, Yan Wei specially emphasized the tone of the character 'Jin' so as not to confuse people.
When Lin Lexian heard Mu Jin's name, he glanced at Mu Huarong. Mu Huarong was also slightly taken aback, and then the two of them smiled as if nothing had happened.
People are similar, not to mention names.In addition to the fact that the name of the current emperor is taboo, even Sangong may have someone with the same name and surname in the world.What's more, Mu Jin's name was only similar to what they had occasionally heard before, not exactly the same.
Yan Wei then poured a cup of tea for Lin Lexian, "Zongshi Mu, this is Lin Lexian, our Royal Censor of Chongguo."
"Master Mu, this is Master Mu Huarong, Master Mu." The last one is Mu Huarong.
"Yan Wei mentioned before that Grandmaster you are very talented, and I still feel shocked when I see you today." Lin Lexian smiled and picked up the teacup.
"It's really rare to be certified as a master at such an age." Mu Huarong also smiled.
"It's not worth mentioning." Mu Jin casually responded to the two people's compliments, and then touched the teacup, not intending to drink tea. "The two invited me here, isn't it just for the sake of literati elegance?"
Lin Lexian and the others, who were used to chatting with others, felt uncomfortable for a moment when they heard Mu Jin's straightforward words.
"It's an honor for me to be able to drink tea against Grandmaster today, but it's not what I want to do in this trip." The next moment Lin Lexian reacted, "To be honest, I have a merciless request."
Hearing this, Mu Jin didn't follow Lin Lexian's question back, but picked up the teacup.
Lin Lexian wasn't annoyed at all, but continued directly. "Master Mu must be aware of His Majesty's breakthrough."
Mu Jin didn't intend to answer, Yan Wei at the side opened his mouth to rescue Lin Lexian. "Your Majesty got advice from Grandmaster Mu. At that time, there were signs of a breakthrough. Grandmaster Mu knew it best."
"This old man has devoted all his life to respecting the country. He has lived through three dynasties of emperors, and two dynasties have been in the position of three princes. Although he dare not say that he is for the country and the people, he is loyal to the royal family."
Lin Lexian spoke upright words first, then a sad expression appeared on his face.
"However, the emperor is always suspicious, and there are Jiangnan officials in the front, I am afraid that your majesty will be divorced from us and other veterans. With the cultivation of the emperor's master of martial arts, if he makes up his mind, we will really be unable to protect ourselves."
"Lord Lin." Yan Wei quickly reminded, "Before His Majesty retreats, he wants to worship Master Mu as his teacher. Your request..."
Hearing this, Lin Lexian's eyes flickered a little.
Obviously he didn't know about it before, and Yan Wei didn't mention it in the letter.
"I only found out on the way here that Grandmaster Mu wanted to accept His Majesty as his apprentice." Yan Wei sensed Lin Lexian's suspicion, and said quickly.
The emperor's apprenticeship and the master's acceptance of apprentices, no matter which one is not confirmed, they will not take the initiative to spread the word.Yan Wei only found out after Mu Jin confirmed it, which is extremely normal.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Lexian stood up and saluted Mu Jin, "I am also loyal to His Majesty, how can I embarrass Master Mu! I only ask Master Mu to protect my family, and it does not conflict with Master Mu accepting disciples. Mu Zong If Master has any needs, I will do my best."
For Lin Lexian, Mu Jin's acceptance of Yu Chengyuan as his apprentice was not all a bad thing.
If Mu Jin gets closer to them, the master-student relationship with Yu Chengyuan is not only not a bad thing but a great good thing.A few good words for them by Yu Chengyuan's side would be worth their deeds for dozens of days, or even months or years.
Why does that old man Wei Jinglun have a higher reputation in the court than him? !Wasn't it because the old man was chosen by Yu Chengyuan to be the tutor!Wei Jinglun is only a grand tutor, and he is no better than the teacher who has performed the apprenticeship ceremony in person, and is highly valued by the emperor.
Now it is uncertain which side Mu Jin will stand on, and it is very likely that he is biased towards his disciple Yu Chengyuan. What he has to do now is to try his best to pull Mu Jin into their queue.
Thinking this way, Lin Lexian pointed to Mu Huarong with his eyes.
Mu Huarong took out a box from under the table and put it on the table, "Zongshi Mu, Zongshi Mu took time out of his busy schedule to attend the appointment. I'm grateful and I've prepared a special gift. Whether you agree to our request or not, this gift It must be accepted."
With that said, Mu Huarong opened the box.
Mu Jin saw the items in the box and put down the cup.
Inside the box are some rare herbs, and they are still untreated herbs.Rare medicinal herbs in this world also have the habit of being placed in jade boxes, and their medicinal properties are well preserved.
"It's not a valuable item. I heard that Master Mu likes to study herbs, so I sent someone to prepare some." Lin Lexian said calmly.
The medicinal herbs in this box are extremely rare.Needless to say, the thousand-year-old ginseng that has obvious effects on warriors, the rarity of the other types is only a lot more than it.Even those herbs that are used to add hair are of low value because they don't know their efficacy, and they are also rare in this world.
Mu Jin knew the value of these herbs the most. Except for the world-renowned rarities such as thousand-year-old ginseng and snow lotus, none of the other herbs could be used by him in his current state, just because they were too high-level.
Lin Lexian's gift giving this time really achieved his desired goal.
"I always do things according to my heart." Mu Jin has no intention of accepting Lin Lexian's overtures. "There are not many people who can get my protection, you..."
Mu Jin didn't finish his sentence, but he showed a slight mocking smile clearly.
Lin Lexian thought very well, 'preservation' is obviously not just about saving one's life.If you agree to preserve it, the meaning is not far from agreeing to do things for him, and some are really greedy.
Mu Jin had seen too many people like this, so he didn't have too many fluctuations in his heart, but on the surface he gave Yan Wei room to play.
Yan Wei's heart skipped a beat.Obviously, Mu Jin couldn't stand Lin Lexian's corrupt and bribery face, so he had to come to the rescue. "Master Lin, Your Majesty has not yet been recognized by Master Mu. Master Mu only accepts His Majesty as an outer disciple, and I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the inner sect in a short time."
Seeing Mu Jin's reaction, Lin Lexian's heart was already cold, but after hearing Yan Wei's words, hope was rekindled.
It seems that Mu Jin's apprenticeship is not satisfied with Yu Chengyuan, otherwise, how could it lead to an outside disciple? !
Yu Chengyuan let go of the arrogance of the emperor and was willing to be an outside disciple, presumably in order to win over Mu Jin and keep this master in the capital.
Everyone is on the same starting line now, it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose!
Since Yu Chengyuan didn't get Mu Jin's approval, it doesn't matter if they don't get Mu Jin's promise temporarily. "This old man is too anxious. Please excuse me, Master Mu. If you accept His Majesty as an apprentice, you will definitely stay in the capital forever. This time, we will only treat you as friends with Master Mu, and we will discuss other matters later!"
"This is the best." Yan Wei was also greatly relieved to see Mu Jin's expression returned to normal.
Lin Lexian also recovered a smile on his face, "Speaking of which, my son-in-law is also surnamed Mu, and he is also related to the master. As the saying goes, people with the same surname may form a family for at least 500 years."
"Mu Huarong?" Mu Jin rarely cooperated and took a look at Mu Huarong.
"It's my honor to have the same surname as Grandmaster." Mu Huarong regretted the early death of 'Mu Jin' at this moment.If not, similar names might bring them closer together.Now he dare not mention more, Mu Jin has the same name as a master and a person who died young, if it is interpreted by someone with a heart, it will be a curse.
"Master Mu is willing to give up a drop of blood, so that I can visit relatives." Mu Jin still looked very casual.
"Naturally." Mu Huarong didn't care about his own blood, and directly cut his hand, and there was more than a drop of blood on the cup.
There are very few spells that use blood in this world, so Mu Huarong naturally doesn't think there is anything.
Mu Jin randomly took a drop of his own blood and dropped it into the water together with Mu Huarong's blood.The blood of the two faces each other far away in the cup, without blending.
There is not much basis for the method of blood recognition, and under Mu Jin's deliberation, it is even more impossible to get along with each other.
"I have no relatives since I came into this world. When Master Mu mentioned it, I did it casually." After Mu Jin finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and all the blood on the table disappeared.
Only then did the three present understand why Mu Jin had acted like that before.Lin Lexian couldn't help but glance at Mu Huarong, as if blaming him for not living up to expectations.Mu Huarong felt a little helpless, he also wanted to have a blood relationship with Mu Jin.But my family knows their own family affairs. They have not lost contact with their relatives in these generations. How could any clansman be left behind?
There are a lot of carriages coming and going under Juxian Restaurant, among which there are many exquisitely decorated ones.Every time an exquisite carriage appeared, Mu Huarong always took a second look.If a carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, he would not even dare to blink his eyes.There were at least dozens of carriages that caught his eyes at this moment, and the person they had been waiting for for a long time had not yet appeared.

"Father-in-law, Yan Wei has arrived." Mu Huarong was well aware of the vigilance of the master, so he quickly closed the window and did not dare to look at it.
Lin Lexian got up from the seat, "Follow me downstairs to greet you."
"Yes." Mu Huarong straightened his clothes subconsciously, and then followed Lin Lexian's footsteps.
Lin Lexian and Mu Huarong only went down one flight of stairs, and met the waiter who led Yan Wei and the other upstairs.
