The two arrived at the gate of Mu Mansion and saw that the arena was surrounded by people.
On the stage, a woman in red, holding a long sword, looked heroic and valiant. She was shouting to Mr. Mu below, "Mu Changyan, do you dare to come up?"
Mu Changyan looked helpless and said, "Miss Yu, why are you doing this?"
The woman in red raised her eyebrows and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You have to agree today even if you don't want to!"
Mu Li and Mo Xi watched with great interest from the audience.
"Uncle, do you know whose daughter this girl in red is?" Mu Li asked the onlookers around her curiously.
"Oh, how could I not know this?" the uncle clasped his hands together and said excitedly, "Speaking of which, this girl's background is quite extraordinary!"
"Uncle, please tell me more about this girl. Who is this girl?" Mu Li became more and more curious.
"This girl is Yu Jinyao, the daughter of the City Lord of Yucheng. I heard that three years ago, the City Lord of Yucheng set up an arena to throw a bouquet of embroidery to find a husband for his beloved daughter. Mr. Mu happened to pass by under the arena, and the bouquet fell into Mr. Mu's arms by chance! Everyone thought that the story that followed would be a perfect match made in heaven, but Mr. Mu was devoted to Taoism and rejected the marriage on the spot! Miss Yu is also stubborn. Once Mr. Mu accepted her bouquet, she insisted on marrying him! Three years have passed, and Mr. Mu didn't change his mind, so he came to force a marriage!" The uncle smacked his lips after he finished speaking.
Mu Li's eyes widened. "I see, Second Uncle really doesn't understand romance! Sister Yu is so pretty, and she's so devoted to him, but he really doesn't know what's good for him!"
Mu Li turned to Mo Xi and whispered, "I guess I got beaten a lot by my grandparents! Hehehe..."
Mo Xi smiled knowingly when he heard this, "That's really possible!"
At this time, Yu Jinyao on the ring seemed impatient, and rushed towards Mu Changyan in a flash.
Mu Changyan dodged sideways but did not fight back.
"If you don't fight back, I won't be polite!" Yu Jinyao shouted, and her sword moves became more and more fierce.
Mu Changyan sighed, "Miss Yu, marriage requires the consent of parents and matchmakers. Forcing it will only cause more trouble."
Yu Jinyao held back her sword, her eyes reddening, "I've admired you for years, aren't you moved at all?"
"I am just asking for the truth and have no romantic intentions!" Mu Changyan said honestly.
"You!" Yu Jinyao opened her mouth and was about to say something.
The sky suddenly darkened and a huge black bird circled over.
A man in a black robe stood on the bird's back, scanning everyone with cold eyes.
"Yaoyao, come back with me!" shouted the man in black robe.
"Brother, I won't leave unless Mu Changyan gives me an explanation." Yu Jinyao said stubbornly.
The man in black robe snorted coldly: "Boy from the Mu family, if you don't want to get into trouble, stay away from my sister from today on." After that, he drove the black bird closer to the ring, intending to take Yu Jinyao away by force.
"Brother, wait, I haven't finished my work yet, I don't want to go back with you!" Yu Jinyao said stubbornly.
"Sister, what's so good about him? There are many good men in this world. Since he has no interest in you, why do you have to be obsessed with him?" said the man in black robe.
"But I just like him!" Yu Jinyao said in a crying voice.
The black-robed man's face darkened after hearing Yu Jinyao's words. He waved his sleeve, and a stream of black air swirled towards Mu Changyan. Mu Changyan couldn't dodge and was about to be hit.
"No!" Yu Jinyao was horrified and flew in front of Mu Changyan.
"Yaoyao!" the black-robed man shouted, hastily withdrawing the black airflow. However, a trace of the aftermath still hit Yu Jinyao, and she fell backwards with a muffled groan.
Mu Changyan quickly reached out to catch her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, why are you protecting him?" the black-robed man asked angrily.
Yu Jinyao leaned weakly in Mu Changyan's arms and said softly, "Brother, I don't want to see him get hurt."
The man in black robe was shaking with anger.
At this time, Mu Changyan slowly spoke: "Brother Yu, today's incident was caused by me. Although I am devoted to the Tao, seeing Miss Yu defending me so much, my heart is also touched. I am willing to go back to Yu City with you and discuss this matter with the City Lord."
The man in black robe was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Chang to say that at the banquet.
Yu Jinyao looked up at Mu Changyan in surprise, "Are you really willing to go back to Yucheng with me?"
Mu Changyan nodded solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jinyao burst into tears of joy and was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Oh, you are so stupid! Miss Yu is injured, why don't you bring her in quickly and ask the imperial physician to take a look?" At this moment, the door of the Mu Mansion opened from the inside, and Old Madam Mu Bai Yinin walked out quickly and said.
"Mom, this is not good, right?" Mu Changyan hesitated.
"What's wrong with that? This is a matter of life and death, why are you still so stubborn?" Bai Yining twisted Mu Changyan's ear and said angrily.
"Ouch... it hurts... Mom, please let go!" Mu Changyan cried out in pain. He wanted to run but he didn't dare to move because he was holding Yu Jinyao in his arms, so he just carried her on.
"Run, why don't you run? You have come to this day!" Bai Yining looked at his little son who was holding on and couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"Ouch, Mom, I was wrong, let go!" Mu Changyan was so anxious that he kept spinning in circles.
After Bai Yining let go of her hand, Mu Changyan carefully carried Yu Jinyao into the Mu Mansion.
"Mr. Yu, please come to my humble abode and rest for a while. Wait until the imperial physician comes to see you before making a decision!" Mu Changqing said to the man in black robe.
"Lord Mu, thank you for your trouble!" said the man in black robe, bowing.
"Mr. Yu, you are too polite. Please come in!" Mu Changqing replied.
