Luo Jiuyan was slightly stunned, and had a bad guess in his heart.
"Yeah?"
The handsome middle-aged man nodded seriously: "At first sight, I felt that you looked a lot like Brother Mu when he was young. After spending some time together, I feel that your personality is also very similar to his. No wonder Brother Mu recommended you to join the Soul Devouring Sect."
Luo Jiuyan's hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly.
He suppressed his excitement and asked calmly, "I don't know who the Brother Mu you're talking about is. I only know that someone arranged for me to come here to see you, City Lord. They said you would arrange for us to go to the Soul Devouring Sect to take the test. I don't know who the Brother Mu you're talking about is."
The handsome middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Brother Mu is still so cautious. He dared to send people here without telling you anything."
He looked at Luo Jiuyan: "Brother Mu's original name was Mu Chen. You should know that, right?"
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan shook their heads.
"We've only heard of it, but never met it in person."
Luo Jiuyan answered truthfully.
Xiao Qingran also nodded.
The handsome middle-aged man's expression froze slightly when he saw that the two men didn't seem to be lying.
He looked Luo Jiuyan up and down again.
The doubt in his eyes deepened.
"That's impossible! You two look so alike, there's no way I'm mistaken."
Luo Jiuyan remained noncommittal: "Perhaps, City Lord, you have recognized the wrong person. There are so many people who look alike. It's nothing to make a mistake occasionally."
The City Lord shook his head, his face serious. "That's impossible. I've known Brother Mu since I was young. It's been almost thirty years now, and we're close friends. I definitely can't be wrong."
As the three were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan looked up and saw an acquaintance.
"Father, has the person we are waiting for arrived?"
As soon as Hua Yuqi finished speaking, her expression changed.
He looked at Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran with dull eyes.
"Why, why are they here?" he muttered softly.
"Qier, come here quickly. These two are..."
City Lord Hua slapped his head and said in frustration, "Look at me, I even forgot to ask your names."
"I know. He's Luo Jiuyan, and she's Xiao Qingran. I've met them... briefly."
Hua Yuqi didn't want to tell the story of how he met the two people again and was scared away.
"So you two know each other!"
City Lord Hua looked at the three people in surprise.
Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran nodded faintly towards Hua Yuqi.
They were not afraid that Hua Yuqi would expose their identities.
When it comes to the Soul Devouring Sect assessment, they have plenty of ways to eliminate Hua Yuqi.
There are no mobile phones or computers in the ancient martial arts world, so information is spread through carrier pigeons and manpower.
By the time Hua Yuqi felt something was wrong with the two and told City Lord Hua, they had already entered the Soul-Devouring Sect.
They were not afraid if Muchen doubted their identities.
Isn’t there still the leader of the Soul-Devouring Sect?
They could easily tell the Soul Devouring Sect's leader about Muchen's identity.
Of course, the premise is that Muchen must not be the person they guessed.
If so, that would be difficult.
In short, let's take it one step at a time.
Seeing that Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan were not so enthusiastic about Hua Yuqi, City Lord Hua felt a little embarrassed.
"Father, there were many misunderstandings between them and me. If we spend more time together, maybe we can become friends."
Hua Yuqi bowed to the two of them and sincerely apologized to them: "What happened before was all my fault. I hope you two won't hold it against me. From now on, I will get along well with you two and follow your lead."
Luo Jiuyan was very confused at the moment. Seeing his attitude, he nodded lightly.
Seeing this, City Lord Hua smiled and tried to smooth things over: "You two are tired from the journey, please go to the guest room and rest first! Qi'er, you take them there yourself."
Hua Yuqi immediately understood what City Lord Hua meant and stood up and gestured to the two of them to come in.
He has already lowered his posture so much, so Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan naturally won't give him face on the surface.
Whether it was intentional or not, the two were arranged in the same guest room.
The guest rooms in the City Lord's Mansion are even more luxurious than the Tianzi Rooms in the inn, and are fully equipped with all necessary utensils.
After seeing Hua Yuqi off, Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran fell silent.
After a long while, Luo Jiuyan finally spoke.
"If that man is really my father... no, it should be said that he is the shell of my father. I plan to secretly give him some medicine, knock him out and take him away."
Although his people have not yet figured out how to restore the memory of his original body, he will never give up.
Now that he has his father's body, he will restore his father's original memory no matter what the cost.
"I support you in whatever you do."
Xiao Qingran leaned her head on Luo Jiuyan's shoulder, kissed the corner of his lips, and immediately moved away.
Luo Jiuyan was slightly stunned, then chuckled and picked the person up and put him on the bed.
He lowered his head to look at Xiao Qingran, his eyes gradually becoming deeper: "In my past and present lives, I have waited for this day for a very long time. Ran'er, no matter what happens in the future, we will never leave each other."
Xiao Qingran put her arms around Luo Jiuyan's neck and kissed him on the lips.
The next morning, while the two were still asleep, there was a knock on the door.
The two of them didn't fall asleep until late last night, and now they are so sleepy that they can't even open their eyes.
But the knocking on the door continued, and they couldn't ignore it.
Luo Jiuyan frowned, put on his clothes, stood up and opened the door.
Hua Yuqi was standing at the door.
"Mr. Luo, it's getting late. Breakfast is ready. I'd like to invite you to have breakfast together."
Luo Jiuyan looked a little uneasy. It was only just dawn that day. It was not long after the Lantern Festival, so it was around five o'clock.
Who wouldn’t still be sleeping in bed at this time of day?
Is this late?
Fortunately, Hua Yuqi was facing someone like Luo Jiuyan, who couldn't even swear. If it were someone else, they would definitely be cursed.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Although Luo Jiuyan felt that the Hua family's biological clock was a bit strange, he did not refuse. If he could get more information about Muchen from the Hua family father and son, he would rather sleep less.
When he came out, he was already dressed.
Hua Yuqi didn't see Xiao Qingran and was about to ask.
Luo Jiuyan closed the door tightly.
"Let's go eat first! She doesn't usually eat breakfast so early in the morning."
Hua Yuqi could clearly understand the meaning behind Luo Jiuyan's words.
He looked slightly embarrassed.
He was a person who knew the secular world. He usually got up at 10:30 in the morning and didn't eat breakfast.
But they were on the road, so he had to wake them up early.
He was very interested in joining the Soul Devouring Sect and didn't want to be late and miss the assessment.
After dinner, Luo Jiuyan packed some breakfast for Xiao Qingran before waking her up.
The three of them got into a luxurious carriage together.
Three horses were used to pull the carriage.
There were two coachmen driving the carriage.
Behind them followed a carriage carrying three people in a formal ceremony.
