Chapter 17: The mentality of the spectators

Shepherd family.

After returning to the Mu's Mansion, Mu Zhian sat in the study, holding a book in his hand, lighting the candle on the table, and reading carefully.

I don't know how long it took, but the candle next to me suddenly became unstable. A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, and the candle's flame was finally extinguished.

Unable to see his fingers in the darkness, Mu Zhian put down the book, raised his hands, stretched his waist, and said, "It's not like you to come to Mu's Mansion in the middle of the night."

He calmly lit the candle again and looked sideways. He saw a man dressed in black standing in the study, staring at Mu Zhian and saying in a deep voice:

"Master Mu, what you did today was too impulsive."

The killing of Gongsun Zan is now known throughout the city, and the government officials will also intensify inspections during this period, which may affect Mu Zhian's time to bring Ye Yu out.

And he no longer has that much time to drag on in Tianxuan City.

Mu Zhian sighed and said: "I know, but I was really angry at the time...I missed it for a moment, alas."

The man in black robe stared at Mu Zhian pitifully, looking at the remorseful look on this good-for-nothing young master's face, and said coldly: "With things like this now, can that thing still be completed?"

This is what he really cares about. He doesn't care about Gongsun Zan's abuse of women, Ye Yu killing Gongsun Zan, or whose woman Bai Ruoxi will be in the end.

What matters is whether Ye Yu can be brought out to him.

Mu Zhian nodded and said, "Okay, but you need to give me another two or three days."

"It will take some time to deal with this matter." Mu Zhian continued.

"Okay." The man in black robe nodded, looked at Mu Zhian again, and said, "Young Master Mu seems really confident, are you so confident that you can quell this turmoil within three days? "

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "This is not something you need to worry about."

The man in black robe snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Mu Zhian's actions this time.

"Then I hope that Master Mu can calm down this turmoil smoothly and bring the beauty home as soon as possible."

After the man in black robe finished speaking, he turned around, waved his robe, and disappeared into the study.

Mu Zhian was silent for a long time in the study, and there was still no movement.

"He's gone."

It wasn't until he heard Wei Mengrou's clear voice in the darkness that Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked sideways and saw Wei Mengrou, wearing a goose-yellow dress, standing quietly in the corner, as if hidden in the darkness.

The candle lit up the dark room, and then illuminated Wei Mengrou's expressionless and exquisite face. Her eyebrows were as dark as black, her small cherry mouth, her skin was white and smooth, and a thin ribbon outlined her slender waist and plumpness. Her chest and long, snow-white legs are in perfect proportions, and she wears a pair of plain short boots on her feet.

It simply satisfies all the fantasies of men about women.

It's a pity that she is a master in the God Refining Realm. Even if she is Wei Mengrou's master, he has nothing to do with Wei Mengrou for the time being.

It would be nice if Sister Mengrou was not in the God Refining Realm... Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, thinking about it, Mu Zhian was still glad to have a powerful maid by his side.

As a monk in the God Refining Realm, the man in black robe put too much pressure on him, but precisely because Wei Mengrou was also in the God Refining Realm, the pressure on him was not that great.

after all……

Bigger, Sister Mengrou is bigger.

Mu Zhian secretly glanced at the graceful and charming Wei Mengrou from top to bottom, and thought silently in his heart.

"Have you seen enough?" As if aware of Mu Zhian's eyes, Wei Mengrou glanced at him coldly.

If it's not enough, can you let me continue reading... Mu Zhi'an said something inwardly, coughed slightly, and changed the subject: "Where is Gongsun Xiong?"

"Mr. Ren took him to drink tea in the side hall next door. He should have gone back now." Wei Mengrou said.

The man in black robe made a fatal mistake from the beginning.

The information was wrong. He didn't know that the Mu family had two monks in the God Refining Realm.

From that day when he rashly went to Mu's house, the actions of the man in black were like walking down the street with bare buttocks, all of which were seen by Mu Zhian and played with at will.

"Gongsun Xiong couldn't hear our conversation just now, right?" Mu Zhian asked.

"Of course, if you arrange the barrier in advance, you can block the sounds in the study." Wei Mengrou nodded.

After a pause, she continued: "However, he has already noticed the presence of the man in black robe."

Mu Zhian said softly: "That's enough."

There are no more than ten powerful people in the God Refining Realm in Tianxuan City, and among these ten, the three families all know each other.

An outsider who is strong in the God Refining Realm is secretly lurking in Tianxuan City, which is enough to make every family feel a sense of crisis.

From this moment on, it no longer matters who killed Gongsun Zan.

The most important thing is to drive the men in black robes out of Tianxuan City first.

"The Gongsun family may temporarily shelve Gongsun Zan's matter because of the man in black robe...but what about the people of Tianxuan City?" Wei Mengrou asked suddenly.

"As long as the Gongsun family doesn't care."

Mu Zhian put down his tea cup, smiled and said, "As for public opinion... it doesn't matter."

"Leave it alone?" Wei Mengrou asked, frowning slightly.

Now there are rumors everywhere in Tianxuan City. Some people criticize Gongsun Zan for not being a thing, some people strongly praise Mu Zhian, some question Mu Zhian's motive for killing Gongsun Zan, and some people hope that the two of them will die together.

If these rumors are allowed to ferment, Mu Zhian will probably be labeled as "not a good person" in the end.

But this time Mu Zhian did nothing wrong... at least Wei Mengrou thought so.

"As for public opinion, we still need to control it, but we don't need to do much. Anyway, the direction of the situation will change soon," Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou heard the meaning of his words and said: "You want to change the direction of public opinion...? The people of Tianxuan City are not that ignorant and will not be fooled."

Mu Zhian nodded matter-of-factly and said with a smile: "Of course I know, everyone is not stupid."

"However, it doesn't matter whether they are idiots or not, they don't care about the truth at all."

Wei Mengrou obviously didn't believe it and questioned: "Are you so sure?"

"certainly."

Mu Zhian fiddled with a paper crane on the table and said:

"What they care about is whether the news is exciting enough, whether they can make people laugh, and whether they can entertain themselves. As for the truth and how the person involved feels, few people care. In the final analysis, this is the bad nature of human beings."

Wei Mengrou was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until a long time later that he looked at Mu Zhian's profile and said softly, "You really understand people's hearts."

In fact, I still want to understand Sister Mengrou's heart more than the people... Looking at Wei Mengrou, who has a beautiful appearance and a charming figure, Mu Zhi'an said something secretly.

"What else do you want me to do next?" Wei Mengrou asked.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "Sister Mengrou just needs to sit down and drink tea, and then chat with me."

"As for Gongsun Zan's matter... the wind will turn around soon." Mu Zhian said firmly.

"How to reverse it?" Wei Mengrou asked subconsciously.

Under Wei Mengrou's doubtful gaze, Mu Zhian deliberately let it slip and said with a smile: "How wonderful it is, just turn it around."
