She came to demonstrate her strength, with a simple goal: to let the Cui family of Jiangnan know that the Xu family was not to be trifled with.
Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing sat together on the chair, still ignored, with no one coming over to greet them.
However, Xu Mu was completely unaffected by his surroundings. He picked up a pastry from the table and took a bite.
"This tastes good, sis, you should try it."
Xu Mu directly held it to Xu Ningbing's lips.
"I'll do it myself."
Xu Ningbing awkwardly reached out and caught it.
[Favorability +5]
Those around them were somewhat incredulous to see the siblings so relaxed.
Don't they know what's going to happen next?
"Haha! This must be President Xu Ningbing, right?"
Just then, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and a suit walked over from a distance. His limbs were relatively thin, but his belly was rather large.
Xu Mu used his Divine Eye to verify the other party's identity.
Name: Cui Sen
Character: The current head of the Cui family in Jiangnan.
Favorability: -10
Destiny Level: 2 (Max level 10)
Upon seeing this, Xu Mu nodded to himself. If nothing unexpected happened, this person should be Cui Yunshen's father.
Xu Ningbing had done her research long ago, so of course she knew this man.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Since the other person came over with a smile to say hello, Xu Ningbing certainly couldn't be cold.
So she put on a formal smile and said, "Patriarch Cui, this should be our first meeting."
"Hahaha! I've seen you on the news so many times."
As Cui Sen was speaking, he suddenly looked at Wu Tian and Cui Yun Shen who were walking over, "Yun Shen, have you greeted Miss Xu yet?"
"not yet."
Cui Yunshen walked over with a smile and said to Xu Ningbing, "Miss Xu, we meet again."
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Xu Ningbing.
One of the buttons was fastened very tightly, and he kept thinking about when it would finally pop open.
Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately stepped in front of Xu Ningbing, "Young Master Cui, it seems there aren't any Jiangbei merchants this time?"
"Hahaha! That's natural, after all, this is Jiangnan. As for why we invited you, it's mainly because recently you've been trying to take over our Jiangnan."
Cui Yunshen said with a forced smile.
"Young Master Cui's use of the word 'to dabble' is quite good, I like it."
After Xu Mu finished speaking, he and Xu Ningbing sat down again.
Cui Sen led Cui Yunshen and Wu Tian to the backyard.
A short while later, several people came out together, led by an elderly man dressed in a Tang suit.
There were two other people beside him.
A woman, around twenty years old, slender, with permed hair, and of above-average appearance.
There was also a man, wearing a suit, who looked to be around thirty years old.
He looked very robust, but he was less than 1.7 meters tall.
Xu Ningbing whispered to Xu Mu, "That old man is called Cui Rui, the former head of the Cui family. The woman with the permed hair is Cui Nannan, Cui Yunshen's younger sister. However, it seems she was born to Cui Sen's second wife."
Xu Mu nodded to himself, then looked at the thirty-year-old man.
The other party walked alongside Cui Rui, and judging from Cui Rui's appearance, he even seemed to be fawning over him.
He observed the man through the Eye of God.
Name: Peng Huihuang
Character: Grandson of the Grand Elder of the Demon Sword Sect
Favorability: 0
Destiny Level: 2 (Max level 10)
Xu Mu was surprised; he hadn't expected them to be from the Demon Sword Sect.
He remembered Xia Sihan, whom he had met before, who was from the Demon Sword Sect. In the story, she was considered part of Chen Xuan's harem.
I never expected that the Cui family and the Demon Sword Sect would collude together.
However, Xu Mu was not familiar with the Demon Sword Sect, and if they dared to deal with him, he would not hesitate to destroy the Demon Sword Sect.
Now, he has that ability.
