Chapter 153 - Distinguished Guests
"Li'er, I can't let you grow up next to Feng Muyan, please forgive me." Hua Xiaoan murmured, and then carried Song Yunli on his back and walked towards the second floor of the restaurant. All the waiters and shopkeepers who passed by nodded and bowed to him in fawning manner.
At sunset, two old men with white beards and white clothes walked into the restaurant side by side, instantly attracting the attention of many guests. There was nothing special about wearing white clothes, but what was special was that their outer robes and white hats covered all their hair, leaving only their faces exposed.
"I guess you two are the distinguished guests from Dongchu. Our master has been waiting for you in the private room for a long time." The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and greeted them with a fist.
"Then please lead the way," said the old man with a slightly gentle face.
Soon the two old men were taken to a private room. The shopkeeper bowed tactfully and retreated, then carefully closed the door.
"Mr. Xiao'an, is this the child you mentioned in the letter?" Mu Chen's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly over and sat down beside the bed. He took Song Yunli's hand and felt her pulse. Seeing that she had no internal injuries except for her disheveled appearance, Mu Chen's heart finally settled down.
"How can you say this is the bloodline of my Mu family without any evidence!" The elder behind Mu Chen shouted with his eyes wide open, but his eyes were fixed on Song Yunli, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her.
At this moment, Song Yunli slowly opened her eyes, and Mu Chen almost shouted out excitedly. This child looked very much like the girl from the Qing family, but this look was very similar to hers. If anyone said that this was not the blood of the Mu family, he would never let it go easily.
"Hua Xiaoan, you are a villain!" Song Yunli said gritting her teeth, her eyes full of disappointment. She was so successful in the business world in her previous life, but was deceived to this extent by an ancient person. She really couldn't blame anyone but herself for overestimating human nature.
Hua Xiaoan smiled bitterly without saying anything, turned around, slammed the door and left, giving Song Yunli a resolute back.
Song Yunli stood up and tried to get out of bed, but suddenly found two pairs of feet in the room. She looked up and was startled. She asked cautiously, "Who are you and why are you here?"
"Li'er, I'm grandpa." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"My grandfather passed away a long time ago, who are you trying to fool?" Song Yunli asked coldly.
"Cough cough... cough cough..." Mu Chen almost choked to death on his saliva, and his old face turned red from coughing.
The great elder behind Mu Chen laughed out loud without giving him any face. This kid was really lovable. He hadn't seen Mu Chen so frustrated for a long time.
"Li'er, I believe you know Xiao Mu. His real name is Mu Zhixiao, and he is my youngest son!" Mu Chen spoke after the situation calmed down a little.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Forget it. You'll know it in the future anyway, so I'll tell you some things about the Mu family." After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the great elder behind him. Seeing that he nodded without objection, Mu Chenfang continued, "The Dongchu Mu family is a special existence. The head of the Mu family has no official position or power, but is highly respected. I am the current head of the Mu family. The head's greatest responsibility is to work with the four elders to select and train the high priest through divination."
Song Yunli was shocked. She had just asked casually, but now she realized that the white-bearded old man was actually her biological grandfather, the current head of the Dongchu Mu family. So why did he come to find her instead of staying in Dongchu as the head of the family? There must be something fishy about this.
Seeing Song Yunli's interest, Mu Chen stroked his beard and continued, "The high priest must be selected from the direct descendants of the Mu family. As for who will be chosen, it will be determined based on the birth date obtained by divination. Every time it is selected, it is very accurate."
