The large reception hall suddenly fell into an awkward situation.
Who would have thought, after Mu Ling'er said so much, Chen Yang simply responded with two words—
No way.
Simple, decisive, with no room for negotiation.
Moreover, not willing to linger for even a second longer.
This...
Not only Mu Ling'er and Mu Gang, even Liu Qingi was stunned.
This guy, his way of doing things is not just ordinary decisive.
Mu Gang rubbed his nose, looking embarrassed.
Mu Ling'er was stunned in place, in utter disbelief, her big lively eyes filled with incredulity, almost doubting her own ears.
No way?
Ha ha...
"You stop right there!"
Then, Mu Ling'er took two steps forward, pointing at Chen Yang and scolding angrily, "You bastard! How dare you refuse , the princess?"
Chen Yang stopped, turned around, and stared at Mu Ling'er.
Looking at this furious princess, her little mouth pouting high, tightly clutching a lollipop in her hand, Chen Yang found it sowhat amusing.
Even a bit comical.
"You've got so nerve, I..."
Mu Ling'er was truly angry, soone actually dared to refuse her invitation, the nerve!
But Mu Gang interrupted her in ti, calling out aningfully, "Princess."
"Hmph!!"
Mu Ling'er wrinkled her delicate nose, her big eyes rolling, and after a cold hum, the anger on her face gradually subsided, "Who told you to be so heartless?"
"This is the first ti I've personally invited soone to my City Lord's Mansion, and you actually refused , don't I need my dignity?"
Chen Yang's mouth twitched, what kind of bullshit logic is this?
Mu Ling'er stuffed the lollipop into her mouth and continued indistinctly, "I know it was a bit abrupt, but at least wait for to finish speaking."
"You see, my grandfather has always admired young people like you with great integrity. With your deeds in the secular world, he will undoubtedly support you, which is a great opportunity for you."
"Moreover, my grandfather will be very happy too, isn't that a win-win situation?"
Mu Ling'er spoke eloquently, having thought over these words all night yesterday.
As for her true intentions, of course, they must not be revealed, at least, not now.
"Indeed perfect."
Chen Yang nodded, "But what I'm curious about is, what good does this do for you, princess?"
Mu Ling'er: "..."
"Knowing I killed your Silver Armored Guards, yet you don't settle the score and instead work for my benefit?"
Chen Yang laughed, "Everyone knows you're known for being unruly, and yet today you're here acting selflessly. If you say you have no ulterior motives, do you think I would believe you?"
Mu Ling'er: "..."
"Who are you calling unruly?"
Mu Ling'er, puffed up her cheeks in anger, rushed in front of Chen Yang, "You'd better make it clear, otherwise, I'll make you pay."
"I an you." Chen Yang said calmly.
"You..."
Mu Ling'er's teeth ground audibly as if they were about to catch fire from her lively big eyes, her expression like she wanted to eat soone, but in the end, she just squeezed out three words, "You bastard!!"
"Do you think a bunch of high-sounding words would make listen to you? Are others too naive or are you being childish?"
As the saying goes, speak to people in their own words and to ghosts in their own words.
For this woman in front of him who thinks too highly of herself, Chen Yang was too lazy to beat around the bush and spoke straightforwardly.
"You're being excessive!"
Mu Ling'er was so angry she stomped her feet, threatening with outstretched claws, as if she wanted to take Chen Yang alive, "You bastard, how dare you call childish?"
"You are indeed childish." Chen Yang said, "Or has no one told you that before?"
Mu Ling'er: "..."
"Mu Gang!!"
Mu Ling'er shouted, then raised the lollipop in her hand and pointed it straight at Chen Yang, "Seize this bastard, I must teach him a lesson!"
Instantly, the atmosphere beca extrely tense.
Chen Yang turned, looked at Mu Gang, instinctively tightening his grip on the Ancestral Sword.
He knew this elder was strong, perhaps unbeatable, but it also ignited his fighting spirit.
Mu Gang looked helpless, smiled at Chen Yang, gestured to him to calm down, then walked to Mu Ling'er and advised in a low voice, "Princess, have you forgotten your purpose?"
"You said, it's rare to find a suitable candidate, and if this opportunity is missed, it might never co again."
"But he..." Mu Ling'er was furious.
Mu Gang continued, "If you can't endure the small things, you will spoil the big plans. Don't you know what's more important?"
Whew whew.
Mu Ling'er stood with one hand on her waist, panting heavily, genuinely exasperated, but thinking of her lifelong happiness, she eventually forced herself to suppress the turbulent anger inside.
"Fine, I'll be the bigger person and not hold it against you."
Mu Ling'er waved her hand, pouting, "We'll depart tomorrow, follow back to the City Lord's Mansion."
Mu Gang shook his head, knowing this princess was used to being high and mighty, always ordering others around, when had she ever needed to ask for favors?
Now being asked to politely request soone for help was truly difficult for her.
"Childish."
Leaving these two words, Chen Yang didn't linger and left straight away.
Over the years, he had seen all kinds of people, but it was his first ti seeing soone like the person before him, who needed sothing from others yet maintained a superior attitude.
Simply laughable.
"You stop right there!"
Mu Ling'er shouted and rushed forward, spreading her arms to block Chen Yang's way, staring with big eyes, "This is the first ti in my life I'm asking soone for help, don't be too excessive!"
"Just because you're asking, does that an I have to agree?" Chen Yang said indifferently.
Mu Ling'er: "..."
"You..."
Mu Ling'er gritted her teeth, but then her face fell, she grabbed Chen Yang's arm with both hands, pouting, and pleaded pitifully, "Can't you just help this once?"
"Tell your purpose." Chen Yang said, shaking off her hands.
"I..."
Mu Ling'er was at a loss, how could she say it out loud?
They just t today, was she supposed to directly tell him that she wanted to use him as a shield to pretend to be her boyfriend?
With a pat.
Chen Yang pushed her away and didn't linger further.
"You, you bastard!!"
Mu Ling'er stomped hard on the ground, her face flushing red, on the verge of tears.
When had she, the princess of the City Lord's Mansion, ever been treated like this by soone? When had she ever suffered such grievances?
Chen Yang didn't look back, disappearing from view.
"This guy is truly different."
Mu Gang shook his head and marveled, it was the first ti he had seen soone who stands so proudly and lives so honorably.
If it were anyone else, they'd probably be groveling by now, how could they refuse?
"Interesting."
Mu Gang smiled, walked up to Mu Ling'er, and comforted her, "Princess, today your attitude was indeed wrong, is this how you ask soone for help?"
"That's just how I am, he's the bastard!!"
Mu Ling'er was still unyielding, but it was clear she regretted it, suddenly saying, "Do you think if I find that fragnt map and give it to him, he'd change his mind?"
Mu Gang: "..."
"..."
