The three of them moved slowly. Little Fire and Lan Yi didn’t follow Yun Feng, and Meatball stayed with them. However, they communicated with Yun Feng telepathically from time to time and weren’t in a hurry to catch up with her. After all, it would only take them a few days to cross the entire Fengyun Empire with their speed.
Along the way, Mu Yinghua talked about everything about the Mu family, including how good they were and how powerful they were in that second-rate town. Mu Yinghua said proudly, as if it were the Mu family’s territory.
Yun Feng listened carefully along the way and had an impression of all the main members of the Mu family. For example, the housewife of the Mu family was the concubine of the leader of the Mu family, who was Mu Yinghua’s mother.
A concubine climbed to the position of the housewife. It seemed that this woman wasn’t simple either. When Yun Feng mentioned the wife of the Mu family, Mu Yinghua was obviously trying to avoid her. Especially, after hearing the name Mu Xiaojin. Mu Yinghua seemed rather excited.
“How do you know this person?” Mu Yinghua asked with a stiff expression. Yun Feng raised her brows. “I just heard it from someone else.”
Then, Mu Yinghua stopped talking and refused to talk about Mu Xiaojin. Under Yun Feng’s clever pressure, Mu Yinghua finally said, “There’s no such person in the Mu family. I’m sure of it!”
Yun Feng didn’t say anything after hearing that, and didn’t talk about it anymore. After a few days of traveling, the three of them finally arrived at the second-rate town, Mu City. No wonder Mu Yinghua said that the Mu family could control everything here. This town was even called Mu City, which showed how powerful the Mu family was here. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they were the local tyrant.
“Yinghua, you’re back! This must be the summoner!” An unusually enthusiastic voice sounded. The three of them had just arrived at the gate when they saw a few rows of magnificent welcome teams standing at the gate. Yun Feng sized them up slightly. They should all be members of the Mu family. And the flirtatious woman who was walking towards them with a passionate look just then must be Mu Yinghua’s mother.
“Mother!” Mu Yinghua greeted her. “This is Yun Feng. This is Qu Lanyi. I’ve told you about them! This is my mother.”
Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi both smiled and greeted her in a low voice, “Auntie.”
The woman was obviously flattered. She waved her hand quickly. “Don’t call me that! How would I dare to let you call me auntie? Just call me by my name. I’m Zi Hua.”
Yun Feng nodded. This woman knew better than her son. “Madam Zi.”
Zi Hua’s face stiffened slightly. Logically speaking, Yun Feng should’ve called her Lady Mu. “Hehe. The Mu family is honored to welcome you, Miss Summoner.”
Yun Feng glanced at the few rows of people behind her. Many of them were young juniors. They looked at her with envy and yearning in their eyes, but they stood there obediently. It seemed that Madam Zi was indeed good at being a housewife.
“Madam Zi, just call me Yun Feng. It’s fine. I have a good impression of the Mu family.” Yun Feng said with a smile. Mu Yinghua secretly winked at his mother. Zi Hua raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth also had a complacent curve.
“If that’s the case, I’ll call you Yun Feng. I’ve heard Yinghua talk about you and this Miss Qu a lot. I only know that the two of you are extraordinary after seeing them with my own eyes. Aiya, I’m so busy talking. Come in quickly!”
Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi both sneered in their minds. It was true that like mother, like son. They were the same in their bones. Yun Feng nodded with a smile. “Alright, thank you, Madam Zi.”
Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi followed Lady Zi into the city gate of Mu City. The others who came to greet them all followed them respectfully, but they couldn’t help but whisper.
“Is she really a summoner? She looks even younger than me!”
“Yeah. I didn’t see her ring on her finger. Is she a fake that Mu Yinghua found?”
“If she’s really a liar, how can she possibly walk out of Mu City? With Lady Zi’s temper, she would’ve eaten her alive!”
“Haha, that’s right. If she’s an imposter, Mu Yinghua will be humiliated.”
“If that’s true, judging from the relationship between those two beauties and Mu Yinghua, they seem to be on good terms. Then, won’t the Mu family soar?”
“Bah! Mu Yinghua always gets the best of everything. Did God treat him better in this life because he was too unlucky in his previous life?”
The whispers of the few young people reached Yun Feng’s ears word by word. Qu Lanyi approached her slightly and said in a low voice, “The Mu family seems very interesting.” Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth. Interesting? There must be a lot of things hidden in the Mu family.
The entire Mu City was a bit noisy today because the legendary summoner had come here, especially the Mu family’s mansion, which occupied the widest area in the center of Mu City. It was extremely lively. Yun Feng estimated that there were more than a hundred members of the Mu family who lived here, including their in-laws. It was a rather large family.
Lady Zi talked a lot with Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi. Mu Yinghua was also there. Yun Feng didn’t see anyone else, except for the two chatterboxes. It seemed that Lady Zi didn’t allow anyone else to disturb her until dinner. There were only four people at the dinner table. Lady Zi and Mu Yinghua sat aside and explained to Yun Feng. Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi were honored guests, so they should be treated like honored guests. Not everyone could eat with Yun Feng.
The four of them ate in the main hall, while the other members of the Mu family sat around a few tables outside the main hall and peeped in from time to time. “Do you think she’s really that summoner?”
“I can’t tell. There’s no ring or any Magic Beast. Is she really an imposter?”
“I think they’re only lying for food.”
“Haha, do you want us to tease her?”
The few young people gathered together and whispered. There were snickers from time to time. It seemed that they had a good plan. The few young people got off the table and walked around, not knowing what they were going to do..
