Chapter 555 A torturous decision!
Dinghuo City, on the city gate tower.
Ye Mu, Man Lei and Mu Lianyi stood here at the introduction of Zhuge Yi.
"These guys are asking for trouble, so no one is to blame." Man Lei looked down and could clearly see Guo Yun and others from the Xiao family being chased and intercepted by Hua Ling and other guards.
"There's no other way. If my father wasn't the lord of Dinghuo City, we wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to kill them in this way." Zhuge Yi said with a slightly wry smile.
"You should do your job well. I guess your father belongs to the jurisdiction of Marquis Nangong?" Ye Mu suddenly asked.
"That's right."
Zhuge Yi did not deny it, "Among those fifteen people, five of them are from the Nangong family."
"So, in order to take into account the enmity between Nangong Hou and your father, we have no choice but to use this method." Ye Mu said.
"right."
Zhuge Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "In terms of family status, my Zhuge family is even higher than the Nangong family. But in terms of position, Emperor Zhou Jin did not use my father. This matter is very unbearable."
In name, the Zhuge family is indeed more prestigious than the Nangong family!
However, the contemporary emperor Zhou Jin deliberately belonged to the Zhuge family and was only given the title of a small city lord!
"Your father should be a very low-key person, right?" Ye Mu could hear the confusion in Zhuge Yi's heart.
"Otherwise, my Zhuge family would have attacked the Nangong family long ago." Zhuge Yi sighed, "My father is devoted to cultivation and has no interest in the position of City Lord or Marquis."
"So, in order to prevent the Nangong family from mistakenly thinking that the Zhuge family was going to start a war, you prepared so many painters to post the portraits of these fifteen people and warn them that this was just a simple invasion and not a deliberate provocation by the Zhuge family." Ye Mu once again admired Zhuge Yi's plan.
"Sir! Kill all fifteen of them!"
At this moment, Hua Ling, who was standing at the foot of the city gate, clasped his fists and looked at Zhuge Yi, who was standing on the top of the city gate.
"Post it immediately."
Zhuge Yi smiled and nodded, then looked at Ye Mu and the other two, "Three of you, please follow me to my house."
A group of four left the city gate tower and walked onto the wide street.
Zhuge Mansion is located in the center of Dinghuo City.
As the group of four entered the door, they saw an old man with a kind face, looking at them with burning eyes.
"Father!"
Zhuge Yi jumped over happily and rushed into the old man's arms.
"Hehe, it's good that you're back."
The old man was Zhuge Yifei's father, Zhuge Tao. He patted Zhuge Yi's back and said, "Girls should avoid their fathers when they grow up. Don't be so intimate with your father in the future. It's not good for your future."
"Father..." Zhuge Yi showed a hint of woman's shyness, but soon returned to her normal expression and pointed at Ye Mu and introduced the other two.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Man, Miss Mu, please come in quickly!" Zhuge Tao had already received the message from Zhuge Yi's jade talisman, and was very happy to see the arrival of Ye Mu and the other two.
A group of people walked into the hall.
A table full of delicacies from land and sea had already been laid out. Zhuge Tao said with a smile, "Don't be shy, everyone. Just treat this place as your home. Come and take a seat."
Ye Mu and the other two were flattered.
This Zhuge Tao, as the head of the Zhuge family, one of the thirty-six Tiangang families and ranked among the top five, is so humble that he is truly admirable.
"City Lord Zhuge, you are too polite." Ye Mu greeted.
Man Lei looked at the table full of delicious food, swallowed a few times, and said, "That's right, you are so polite, we feel even more embarrassed to sit down."
"You two took the top two spots in this year's Tianxuantai test, and have reached the top level of the ninety-ninth floor. This is enough to make me so polite."
Zhuge Tao smiled at Ye Mu and the others, then looked at Mu Lianyi, "You and my daughter have both reached the ninety-eighth level, a great achievement. You are geniuses among geniuses. How can I not treat you well?"
Zhuge Tao's words fully demonstrated the fact that strength is respected in the Tianxuan Realm.
That’s right!
If Ye Mu and the other two were just ordinary people, they would never be appreciated by Zhuge Tao in their entire lives.
Likewise, you will not be treated like this by any powerful person.
On the contrary, the qualifications of Ye Mu and the other two are admirable enough, and anyone who knows about this wants to make friends with them.
During the banquet, everyone toasted each other and drank happily.
When Zhuge Tao learned that Ye Mu was from Earth, he was greatly surprised, "I never thought that you were from Earth?"
"The Earth is garbage in everyone's eyes, right?" Ye Mu's face darkened.
"That must be just a rumor." Zhuge Tao noticed the change in Ye Mu's expression. "I believe that because of your existence, the status of the Earth has also risen. No one will belittle the status of the Earth anymore."
"I will definitely do it!"
Ye Mu nodded heavily. This was the oath he heard from others that began with the words "garbage plane earth".
Thinking of this, his mind resurfaced with what he had promised the National Security Dragon Team before coming here from Earth, to explore secrets for the country!
From this, he thought of Yu Bingqian and others.
After dinner, Zhuge Tao warmly invited Ye Mu and others to have tea and chat.
But Ye Mu's plan kept flashing through his mind.
As the night deepened, Zhuge Yi instructed that rooms be arranged for the three of them.
Ye Mu then took out the jade talisman and tried to transmit sound using it for the first time.
However, he couldn't get in touch with either Leng Shan's jade talisman or Ji Linglong's jade talisman.
He thought he had done something wrong, so he went next door to wake up the sleeping Man Lei.
"Brother Ye, there are only two reasons why you can't get in touch with them."
Man Lei no longer felt sleepy. He sat up and explained, "Either the one holding the jade talisman is in seclusion practicing, or the one holding the jade talisman has met with misfortune."
“…”
Ye Mu was shocked after hearing this, his voice trembling, "Are there only these two reasons?"
"Yes." Man Lei nodded.
Ye Mu felt as if his heart was pierced by needles. "No, nothing will happen to them. They must be in seclusion, that's for sure!"
In fact, what he was most worried about were Yu Bingqian and the other four people who followed Ji Linglong!
Yu Bingqian, Zhang Bufan, Shi Yan and Kunpeng all came from Earth like him. The five of them were originally going to carry out a mystery exploration mission assigned by the country!
But……
"Brother Ye, if you are so worried, why don't we go to Gengjin City first and ask the Ji family?" Man Lei suggested.
“…”
Ye Mu fell silent again.
It seemed that if we went south for more than 300 miles, we would reach Mount Emei. If we turned back to go to Gengjin City, it would add more than 1,000 miles!
what to do?
This is the most painful decision Ye Mu has to make right now.
"Go to sleep first and make a decision tomorrow morning."
After Ye Mu finished speaking, he left Man Lei's bedroom and returned to his own room.
On one side is Luo Luoyi, the woman he is worried about, and on the other side is his comrade-in-arms who is his life-and-death friend. What should he do?
That night, Ye Mu tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.
So, he sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state of cultivation.
The next morning.
After Zhuge Yi knocked on Man Lei and Mu Lianyi's doors one by one, they all came to Ye Mu's door and knocked, but there was no response from inside.
"leaf……"
Man Lei pushed open the door and saw Ye Mu meditating, so he immediately closed the door.
"Mr. Zhuge, Lianyi, last night Brother Ye..." Man Lei told Zhuge Yi and Mu Lianyi what Ye Mu was worried about.
"How about this, I have nothing to do and I haven't had a bowel movement yet, so we will split up into two groups. You continue to head towards Mount Emei, and I will rush to Gengjin City." Zhuge Yi decided immediately.
"I'll accompany you to Gengjin City so you can have someone to look after you on the way." Mu Lianyi also took the initiative to suggest, "Let Man Lei lead Ye Mu to Mount Emei."
