However, he was someone who had weathered many storms, and he quickly calmed down.
After a moment's thought, Zhang Zhu finally understood Jiang Jinyu's intention.
They just wanted Zhou Mu to show off his power.
With that in mind, he cupped his hands and said, "This old servant must prioritize the safety of the young lady."
“I said, Uncle Zhang meant well,” Zhou Mu said from the side.
"Sigh." Jiang Jinyu sighed, regretfully saying, "What a pity, we won't be able to watch a good show."
"My dear ancestor, you still have the leisure to watch the show? If you feel I'm comfortable, just say so directly. Don't beat around the bush like this." Zhou Mu was on the verge of tears.
Jiang Jinyu did not respond to this question.
She is very distressed right now.
If Zhang Zhu continues to appear at such inopportune times, her little hobbies will suffer greatly, especially in situations like this, where the originally anticipated effect will be significantly diminished.
She originally intended to tease Zhou Mu, but in the end, it became her own business.
now.
All eyes were on Jiang Jinyu.
It was obvious that they had all witnessed Zhang Zhu's actions, which made them even more shocked.
"Damn, this is the ultimate golden thigh!"
"Such powerful martial artists are all his servants? My God, just how powerful must this woman's background be?!"
"Oh my god, I want to hug my sister's leg, it's so smooth and silky..."
...
For a time, many people had the idea of relying on him.
After all, the prospect of instant success is right in front of you; who wouldn't be tempted?
Amidst the intense gazes of many, Jiang Jinyu showed little reaction. She maintained a faint smile, as if everything was calm and serene.
Things have come to a temporary end here, and Zhou Mu is about to set off back.
As night fell, four people sat at a small round table inside the inn.
They are Zhou Mu, Su Yuan, Ye Ming, and the most crucial figure, Jiang Jinyu.
Originally, Jiang Jinyu wasn't supposed to attend this farewell dinner. After all, with such a beautiful woman present, this somewhat rugged man would be a little too reserved.
But no one dared to disobey this little darling's wishes, so a woman of unparalleled beauty sat down at the round table filled with the smell of wine and meat.
It has a unique charm.
"Come on, let's drink to our time together these past few days."
Zhou Mu raised his wine glass, looked around at everyone, and then spoke.
This also set the tone for the upcoming drinking party.
The other three picked up their glasses and drank them down in one gulp. The slightly spicy liquor flowed down their throats into their stomachs, making their empty stomachs feel fuller. Then, their flesh and blood began to boil.
After a while, the heat subsided, and Zhou Mu ate a few pieces of meat. He, who had never drunk alcohol, finally felt a little better.
Then, a hint of drunkenness appeared on his face.
"These past few days have felt like years have passed. So much has happened. Sigh, I won't go into it anymore, it's all in the wine."
He originally wanted to leave directly, but Ye Mingru stopped him no matter what, insisting on having a farewell drink, and saying that if it weren't for him, he and Su Xuan'er would probably have parted ways forever.
That's why Zhou Mu came, though he didn't really like drinking, but the die was cast and he had no choice but to go.
"drink."
Ye Ming smiled.
In front of Jiang Jinyu was only a small wine glass, almost half the size of Ye Ming and the others' glasses, which were full while hers was only half full.
It was just a token gesture, after all, none of the people present had the guts to force Jiang Jinyu to drink; they couldn't afford to bear the wrath of the Dragon Clan.
"Brother, thanks to you, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do." Su Yuan said, standing up abruptly and slamming his wine glass forward. A slight blush had already appeared on his face.
"This glass of wine is for you."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Mu smiled and drank a cup as well.
By the end, Ye Ming and Su Yuan were both drunk from excitement, while Zhou Mu was somewhat sober, but he was also teetering on the edge of intoxication.
Fortunately, I still had a sliver of reason left.
He looked up and saw that Jiang Jinyu's expression remained unchanged. He asked in confusion, "Can't you get drunk?"
Jiang Jinyu looked somewhat worried, turned to Zhou Mu, and said, "After drinking those few glasses of wine, the hazy memories in my head seem to have become clearer. Then, a name popped up, but I don't recognize it at all."
As she said this, a hint of confusion appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
Then, with her delicate, white fingers, as white as scallions, she dipped them in the wine and wrote three large characters on the table.
Zhou Mu leaned closer to take a look.
Phoenix perches on the paulownia tree.
He looked up abruptly, shocked, and exclaimed, "You knew everything?"
"What do I know?" Jiang Jinyu still looked confused, but then she realized that Zhou Mu's words meant he knew the inside story.
She quickly asked, "Tell me, is there something you're hiding from me?"
"I didn't," Zhou Mu said almost instinctively.
But clearly, he was trying to cover it up.
Jiang Jinyu chuckled twice, stood up, and moved gracefully. Her face, which appeared flawless under the candlelight, approached Zhou Mu, looking down at him.
She asked in a slightly dangerous tone, "Are you planning to confess and receive leniency, or resist and face severe consequences?"
What do you think?
Zhou Mu instinctively shrank back, and then a chill ran down his back. He had hit the wall and was now stuck with nowhere to retreat.
He forced his head up and said with an awkward smile, "Seriously, can we not resort to torture? Look, how could such a beautiful, kind, and generous girl do such a despicable thing?"
Jiang Jinyu chuckled a few times and said, "That sounds nice, but you know my personality. I'll do anything to achieve my goals. If you can't give me the answer I want to hear today, then I'll have to ask Uncle Zhang to come out and reason with you."
Clearly, this truth is not as simple as it sounds.
Zhang Zhu and Zhou Mu weren't particularly afraid, but behind Jiang Jinyu was the Dragon Clan, a force with unfathomable depths, which was not so easy to provoke.
The thought sent chills down his spine. Who would have thought that after transmigrating, instead of kicking mountains and punching tigers, he would be terrified by a local power? It would be a disgrace to a transmigrator with a cheat ability.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
Zhou Mu gave a wry smile and said somewhat reluctantly, "Little Ancestor, these things are not for me to get involved in. Think about it, if I knew things that you don't know, wouldn't that make me more powerful than you?"
"What I said was just hearsay, not anything serious. If you want to know the whole story, I'll point you in the right direction—Zhang Zhu, your Uncle Zhang. He knows more than I do, he knows everything."
