"What? Are you scared? Don't worry, I will be gentler this time. I heard that you were bedridden for three months last time, but this time I will let you lie down for half a year, hahahaha." Jiang Yuzhe laughed arrogantly when he saw Mu Ze's panicked look.

Mu Ze had managed to remain calm just now, but now he could no longer conceal the fear in his heart. The beating he received last time left a deep impression on him.

"Brother Mu Ze, don't be afraid of him. We have more people than them. It's not certain who will beat whom if we start fighting." Seeing Mu Ze's panic, Mu Xitian encouraged him.

"Hmph, are you trying to compete with me in terms of numbers? I forgot to tell you that my fourth uncle has been appointed as the mayor of Xiaoyang City. It would be fine if you just let me beat you up, but if you compete with me in terms of numbers, I can drown you with just a single spit from you." When Jiang Yuzhe heard this, he laughed even more arrogantly.

"Jiang Yuzhe, don't go too far. I was not as strong as you before, but now, you may not be my opponent." Mu Ze felt too embarrassed to show cowardice in front of so many people. He drew out his sword and said with courage.

As the energy circulated, a silver light flashed across the sword, revealing the strength of the fifth-level swordsman.

We are both level five swordsmen, I won’t necessarily lose, I won’t necessarily lose. Mu Ze kept cheering himself up in his heart.

Even though he always pretends to be old, he is actually not that old, and his mind is not as strong and mature as he wishes.

"Fifth-level swordsman, you have made progress. Sorry, I have made progress too." Jiang Yuze said sarcastically and drew out his sword.

The light on the sword flashed like a long river, and finally condensed into a brilliant cold star.

A sixth-level swordsman, he is actually a sixth-level swordsman!

Mu Ze finally mustered up the courage, but it all vanished like a deflated ball. His fingers trembled, and the sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Mu Xitian, Mu Jie, and the others were all stunned. Was this really the elder brother Mu Ze whom they had admired since childhood like a teacher? They had always thought that this elder brother was like a mountain standing before them, steady and solid, protecting them from the wind and rain. As long as he was there, they could fear no difficulties or obstacles.

But who would have thought that he was so cowardly. He couldn't even hold the sword steady after being frightened by the other party.

Mu Hanyan shook her head secretly. This Mu Ze was a mature young man, and had some prestige among the younger generation, but after he became an adult, he was mediocre and had no achievements. She used to find it a little strange, but after seeing this scene, she understood.

Mu Ze's temperament seems calm, but in fact he is too weak. To put it bluntly, he is just like a flower grown in a greenhouse. He looks strong, but in fact he has no bloodiness. He is much weaker than those flowers and grasses in the wild that have experienced wind and rain, and can't stand the test at all.

"Pick up your sword and don't say that I am bullying you. I will give you a chance for a fair fight." Jiang Yuzhe glanced at Mu Ze contemptuously and said.

"Mr. Jiang, we come to Xiaoyang City this time to shoulder the important task of protecting the family. We cannot make any mistakes. After I finish the family mission, I will come to fight you again." Mu Ze said with a forced smile, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Tsk!" Before Jiang Yuzhe could say anything, the crowd booed.

Even a fool could tell that Mu Ze was afraid of losing face in front of so many people, so he made such excuses, which was also a delaying tactic. They were already close to Mu Hanyan, and seeing Mu Ze acting so pretentiously in front of her, they had long been fed up with him and were actually hoping that he would be humiliated.

(Two more chapters will be added in the afternoon, muah!)
