Mu Shaowen had complete faith in Lu Xuanxin, mainly because of the subtle similarities between him and the lady. Whenever he stared at Lu Xuanxin, he could always see some of the lady's shadow, the charm between her eyebrows, the temperament she inadvertently revealed, which made him feel an inexplicable intimacy and trust. In addition, Yun Xiao had always been by Lu Xuanxin's side, and the feeling of blood connection, like an invisible bond, tightly connected the three of them. Even though he had not seen the legendary blood bracelet with his own eyes, the seeds of trust had already been quietly planted in Mu Shaowen's heart.
"I haven't seen the blood bracelet either." Mu Shaowen scratched his head, frowning slightly, as if trying to recall something, but in the end he found nothing. He turned to look at everyone, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness, "You guys treat him well first, I have to go find Lu Xuanxin." After saying that, he ignored everyone's reaction and hurried to the backyard, as if there was the answer he was eager to find there.
When the children of the Mu family saw this, they all gathered around Yun Xuefei. They were like a group of curious little birds, chirping and asking questions non-stop. Some asked her if she had dinner, some were concerned about where she lived, and some enthusiastically invited her to go to the beach together. Yun Xuefei was originally a concubine's daughter of a branch of the Yun family. For some unknown reasons, she was sent out to gain experience. Now, facing the respect and enthusiasm of so many people, she couldn't help but feel proud. If she had known this, she should have come to Tianyu Trading Company to make her identity known.
"The one just now..." Yun Xuefei mentioned it casually, but there was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.
"Oh, him? Don't mention it. He brought a girl back and said it was you, but he didn't even take out the blood bracelet. He just drove us out, fearing that we would expose his fake identity." A young man said indignantly, as if he was still brooding over his previous experience.
"That's right, the girl was indeed not wearing the blood bracelet. If you hadn't shown up in time, we would have almost been fooled by her." Another young man echoed, his eyes revealing a look of relief and gratitude.
"We have to expose his true identity and drive him out!" A girl said indignantly, but her eyes kept glancing at Yun Xuefei, actually wanting to curry favor with her. After all, if she could establish a relationship with the owner of the blood bracelet, then her family would also benefit from it.
Yun Xuefei blinked and pretended not to cause trouble: "Forget it, now that I'm here, he will know that he's been exposed and will leave on his own." In fact, she was afraid that she would be implicated if she met the real owner of the blood bracelet. Her heart was like the surging waves, calm on the surface, but actually undercurrents were surging.
"Sister Xuanxin is so kind. I must question him in person." A young man said indignantly, as if he wanted to seek justice for Yun Xuefei.
"If a swindler dares to come to our company, he should be beheaded in public to let everyone know that our company is not to be messed with." Another young man also expressed his agreement indignantly.
"Sister Xuanxin just arrived and is tired, so don't worry about that liar." A young man who looked more stable stopped everyone loudly, his eyes revealing a kind of maturity and rationality. Yun Xuefei turned her head to look at him, secretly speculating about his identity and status.
At this time, Mu Song came over happily and said to Yun Xuefei with a smile: "Cousin, I will prepare food for you." His eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation, as if it was an incomparable honor to serve Yun Xuefei. Yun Xuefei nodded, and he strode away as if he had received an imperial decree. The others surrounded Yun Xuefei and entered the house.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran into Mu Juncheng, Mu Shaohui and others coming out of the hall. Yun Xuefei's eyes were instantly attracted by the moon-white robe on Yun Xiao. As a concubine of the Yun family, she had never seen Yun Xiao before, but at this moment, she was deeply attracted by his holy temperament, and stars flashed in her eyes. Yun Xiao just glanced at her lightly and retracted his gaze. After all, Mu Shaowen had already told him about this matter, and he didn't want to make any more trouble. His heart was like a calm lake, not moved by the turmoil in the outside world.
As for exposing the fake? Yun Xiao didn't think about that at all. He felt that as long as someone could distract the attention of those powerful people, Yun Xuefei would be able to live more comfortably. His heart was filled with sympathy and care for Yun Xuefei, as if he was a gentle guardian.
"Third brother, we're leaving first." Yun Xiao said goodbye to Mu Juncheng calmly, and then left with Situ Wuji and Zi Huang. His steps were steady and calm, as if everything was under his control.
Yun Xuefei watched Yun Xiao go away before she turned her attention back to Mu Juncheng. This middle-aged man looked like an elder of the Mu family, and she didn't know what his attitude was towards her. Her heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation, as if she was a criminal waiting for trial.
Mu Juncheng slowly walked in front of Yun Xuefei, staring at her eyes with sharp eyes, and an invisible pressure made people feel suffocated. Yun Xuefei was only at the peak of the spiritual phase, how could she withstand the pressure of Mu Juncheng, a nine-star spiritual saint? Her face was pale and her body was shaking slightly, as if she would fall down at any time. The nanny next to her hurriedly supported her and shouted anxiously: "Miss!" Her voice was full of worry and concern.
Mu Juncheng took two steps back and asked calmly, "Why are you wearing a mask?" His tone revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Yun Xuefei lowered her head and gently pulled down her veil, revealing a beautiful face. She secretly observed the changes in Mu Juncheng's expression, thinking that since everyone called him Third Master, it should be right for her to call him Third Uncle. Her voice was trembling and respectful: "A woman is walking alone in the Central Region, and there are many masters. Although Nanny is also a master of the Spiritual Pill Realm, there are inevitably some things she cannot take care of, so I wear a veil to avoid trouble."
Mu Juncheng looked at her carefully, but he didn't see his sister, and he couldn't help but feel a little shaken. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, as if he was trying to find something.
"Where did you get your blood bracelet?" he asked in a deep voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Yun Xuefei answered respectfully, "This is a family heirloom my mother gave me when I was ten years old. She told me to cherish it." At the same time, she showed the blood bracelet on her wrist. The blood bracelet looked particularly dazzling on her jade-like white wrist, as if it contained some mysterious power. In fact, outsiders did not know when Mu Qiya gave the blood bracelet to Lu Xuanxin. This was just Yun Xuefei's speculation, so she deliberately said that she started wearing it after she was ten years old.
Mu Juncheng squinted his eyes and looked at her for a long time, as if trying to judge the truth of her words. Finally, he nodded and said, "You have worked hard, go and rest first. If you need anything, tell these juniors." His tone revealed an unquestionable majesty, but also a hint of imperceptible tenderness and care.
Yun Xuefei was very happy, she thought her identity was finally recognized. But what she didn't know was that Mu Juncheng did this to protect the real Lu Xuanxin. His heart was like the surging waves, calm on the surface, but actually undercurrents. He knew very well that behind this fake, there might be a bigger conspiracy and crisis. And he must always be vigilant to protect the family and the real owner of the blood bracelet from harm.
The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was thin, and a man in a black robe, wrapped tightly in a black robe, broke into Mu Shaohong's room silently like a ghost. Mu Shaohong opened his eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes. He glanced at the person slightly, and that look seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Master, there is a girl outside who calls herself Miss Lu. She is wearing a bright red bracelet on her wrist." The low voice of the man in black sounded in the quiet room, with a hint of imperceptible nervousness.
Mu Shaohong frowned, a hint of doubt appearing on his handsome face: "Another one?" There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Yes!" the man in black answered respectfully, with a hint of firmness in his voice.
"What did Mu Shaohui and the others say?" Mu Shaohong asked, his eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"They didn't say anything, but the Third Master ordered us to treat her well, which seemed to indicate that he approved of her." The man in black replied, his voice low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable meaning.
Mu Shaohong remained silent, staring out the window at the night, with complicated thoughts surging in his mind. The moonlight outside the window sprinkled on his face, reflecting his solemn expression.
"Everyone says the latter one is the real one, because she has the blood bracelet as evidence. The former one might have been sent by the Third Master to take credit." The man in black whispered, with a hint of cunning in his voice, and added: "The protectors have already ambushed them in secret to prevent any accidents."
Mu Shaohong raised his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Have the protectors really been dispatched?" There was a hint of worry in his voice.
"That's right. Miss Lu was so high-profile in the company today that she attracted a lot of attention. The protector predicts that there may be many people with bad intentions tonight." The man in black explained, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.
"We..." Mu Shaohong started to speak but was interrupted by the man in black.
"Asan, I think the behavior of Mu Shaohui and the others is very suspicious, and Lu Xuanxin looks somewhat similar to that impostor." The man in black said in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"There are so many people in the world who look alike, and practitioners can change their appearances," Mu Shaohong retorted, with a hint of disdain in his voice.
"The key point is that the blood bracelet of Miss Lu mentioned above has never appeared before, and the authenticity is decided by the Third Master." The man in black continued, with a hint of firmness in his voice.
"Perhaps Young Master Shao Wen is looking for a substitute in order to gain the favor of the ancestor." Mu Shaohong guessed, his eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"If a strong man attacks tonight, we..." Mu Shaohong was interrupted by the man in black before he could finish his words.
"Watch and wait, and act when the time comes. But Lu Xuanxin must not fall into the hands of others." The man in black said firmly, with a hint of unquestionableness in his voice.
"I understand!" Mu Shaohong nodded, his eyes became firm, as if he had made up his mind.
At this time, Tianyu Commercial Bank seemed particularly quiet under the moonlight, and only the occasional sound of the wind broke the tranquility. Mu Juncheng came to Lu Xuanxin's residence, he stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked on the door.
Zi Huang answered and opened the door. He was tall, handsome, and his eyes revealed a hint of unruliness. He stood in front of the door, staring at Mu Juncheng, as if he could see through his heart.
"Third uncle, do you suspect me too?" Lu Xuanxin raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Juncheng, with a hint of teasing in her voice. She was wearing a red dress, and the red bracelet on her wrist was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
Mu Juncheng's face was stern, and he said seriously: "I am confident that you are the real one! We are related by blood, and not everyone can pretend to be you." There was a hint of firmness in his voice.
"My third uncle reminded me to be careful at night. That woman has alarmed the protectors and outsiders. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight." Lu Xuanxin said, with a hint of worry in her voice.
Lu Xuanxin smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, we will protect ourselves." Her smile was as warm as the spring breeze, as if it could dispel all the haze.
She asked again: "Uncle, aren't you curious about where my blood bracelet is?" Her eyes became cunning, as if she was testing something.
Mu Juncheng sighed: "You are in the center of the storm now. If you are not careful, you will not be crushed to pieces, but you will definitely lose your freedom." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
“Don’t mention the blood bracelet anymore. Based on the looks of you and your mother, as well as the closeness between us, I would never doubt you.” Mu Juncheng said, with a hint of firmness in his voice.
