"Curtainly, who would dare to circulate the bad news!" ling Zizhou said furiously.
Ling Zizhou sat on his back to the dresser with his right leg superimposed on his left leg. His right leg was agitated. His hands were crossed in front of his body.
"I don't think the news is just an ordinary slander. It seems like there are people pretending to be grandfathers," Mu Lian said as she covered half her face with a fan. The painting of a dragon flying gracefully adorned the fan.
"What Lian jie said was true. So, are we going to look tomorrow for clues regarding the person pretending to be your Master?" xiaoxiao asked with sparkling eyes. It feels like they're just playing 'detective.
"If the guy gets caught, hmph, just look at it later!" ling Zizhou said as he rang his fingers.
"Don't act impulsively, Ah Zhou. I want to ask that person something," Mu Lian said as she played her fan.
Ling Zizhou could only compromise, it had been a long time since he had been taught not to act impulsively by Master Yi yet still that ugly habit of his sometimes appeared involuntarily.
Moreover, this concerns the people closest to him. Mu Haocun's existence was now close to the young man's heart, as were Mu Lian, Meng Zhi, Meimei, Xiaoxiao and the young man who was in the kasmaran, Liuzhi.
"We should go to bed earlier so we can wake up earlier" Xiaoxiao said.
Everybody nodded. Ling Zizhou got up then reminded that the two girls were not late. They promised to leave after breakfast.
The next day after breakfast, Mu Lian, Ling Zizhou and Xiaoxiao said that they would tour the village. Meimei only responded with a smile, seemingly knowing what Mu Lian and the others were going to do.
"Hoho, what an incredible spirit! I miss my youth first! Isn't that right, Ah Yi?" mu Haocun said as he looked at the backs of the three teenagers walking side by side with a proud look.
Meng Zhi, Meimei and Master Zhengheng stared at each other. They knew the true purpose of Mu Lian and the others, but the person who was the topic in the heated conversation was instead acting like nothing had happened.
"Hmph, I hope Ah Zhou doesn't make trouble," Master Yi said as he placed the teacup in his hand aloud on the table.
Master Yi saw this opportunity for Ling Zizhou to interact more and more with the social environment. Master Yi only wished for the young man to be able to maintain his temperament! Who does that young man look like?!
If only Ling Zizhou had listened to his teacher's words, the young man would have rolled his eyes, 'Who told me to educate me out loud!'
Yet the young man was already busy following Mu Lian and Xiaoxiao went from one stall to another. Occasionally imitating Mu Lian's movements apologized to the mother whose son was crying from shock at Ling Zizhou's face.
Throughout the information search, Mu Lian used Mu Haocun's gifting fan to hide her facial expression.
All humans were not perfect, although Mu Lian had been trained to keep her emotions and expressions before the crowd, Mu Lian was unsure if faced with such an emotionally draining news.
For example; Mu Haocun first came to this village after the phenomenon of heat explosion, Mu Haocun sold concocted medicine to the villagers at a very expensive price, he said,
Racik medicine that he sold it only contains concoctions of ordinary grass so that the pain suffered by the patient does not heal.
"Young master, young lady. I'm really telling the truth! Everyone who had bought medicine from this 'Master Mu' had a hard time identifying his face!" said a hunchback man while persisting. It just looks sadder.
"Hey! Don't make us look like bad guys! Stand up!" ling Zizhou said as he moved the man's legs with one of his legs.
"Mr. Please don't make things difficult for us, we will pay more if you can give us a clear picture of 'that person'" Xiaoxiao said.
"If master and miss don't believe me, master and miss can meet people who have interacted with Master-" The hunchback man gasped when he saw Mu Lian who was looking at him coldly.
His black fan covered the bottom of his face but the hunchback man knew that the girl did not like his "I mean 'that guy'. I'll take the ladies and gentlemen to those people,"
Without confirming whether Mu Lian, Ling Zizhou and Xiaoxiao followed him, the hunchback man carried the three out from the center of the crowd down the row of houses.
Before long, Mu Lian and the others stopped in front of a simple house. The grounds are small and only a few steps from there is a small reception hall.
"Sir Donglai, what's coming here? Who're they? I mean, sir and this young lady?" said a tall man.
The tall man had changed the way he called Mu Lian, Xiaoxiao and Ling Zizhou because he felt an unusual aura from the three.
The young miss who partially covered her face with a fan looked very graceful, like a noble princess. The young miss next to her looked meek, like a noble princess as well.
As for the young master, his gaze was extremely sharp and his face was like that of the person leading the dark organization...
Wait, does that young man deserve to be called young master? The tall man suddenly let out a cold sweat.
"We're here because this young lady and master are about to ask you something" said the hunchback man.
"O-oh. Please come in, I'll make some tea first" said the tall man.
"No, thanks. There are still a lot of people we have to meet today, so we don't have much time" Mu Lian said.
The tall man seemed to be bewitched when he heard Mu Lian's clear voice. His voice sounded clear and pleasant to hear even though his mouth was blocked by a fan.
"Ah," said the tall man aware of the arena he had wasted the young lady's time daydreaming.
The tall man also explained the characteristics of the 'people' pretending to be Mu Haocun to Mu Lian.
"I want to see the medicine you bought from that person," Mu Lian said. The tall man ran into his house and brought back a porcelain bottle.
Mu Lian examined the contents while frowning. Too much water. Grass commonly used as animal feed. What is this weird smell? Mu Lian released the bottle that was in her grasp all of a sudden.
"Ah. Sorry, the bottle is slippery," Mu Lian said with a regretful smile.
Xiaoxiao and Ling Zizhou who stood beside Mu Lian, praised the girl's perfect acting in their respective hearts.
The information Mu Lian had obtained from the 12 people who had made transactions with the 'impostor' also sounded the same.
His face was covered with cloth until only his eyes could be seen. When asked why he covered his face with a cloth, the answer was to cover his identity?
Huh uh?! Not wrong? That person claimed that he was Mu Haocun but was trying to cover up his identity?! Mu Lian was inexhaustible as to why nearly a dozen people were deceived by that 'impostor.
They should have seen the game 'Am*ng Us' from Earth which shows how cunning an impostor can be. In various ways, he trapped people who were in a state of turmoil accusing each other.
"Ckck, let's see if the person becomes an impostor" Mu Lian said as she tightly closed the fan.
...
"Aunt Feng! I'll add the soup!" shouted a burly man.
"Aunt Feng! His keys!"
"Auntie.."
"Curtain! My ears are breaking!" ling Zizhou said as he rubbed his ears.
"The name is also a tavern, let alone lunchtime like this," Mu Lian said as she sipped her soup carefully.
The few men sitting near their table stole a glance towards Mu Lian. That girl, even though she was eating her movements were very graceful! Ling Zizhou raised a threatening look at those ignorant men. How dare!
"This soup is delicious, LIan jie," Xiaoxiao said.
"Yes, right? We better add more, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we won't be able to taste it again" said Mu Lian. Ling Zizhou simply rolled his eyeballs.
While he was busy driving away a bunch of flies that were about to approach the two girls, instead, the two girls were enjoying the dishes on the table.
That afternoon they infiltrated an inn. They fainted at lunch and waited for the person suspected of being Master Mu's impostor to come to this place to eat.
When a suspicious person with the same description described by the 12 victims of the impostor came, Mu Lian, Xiaoxiao and Ling Zizhou followed the person's movements from the edge of their eyes.
That person sat down the three-table hose from the table of Mu Lian, Xiaoxiao and Ling Zizhou. He simply ordered a cup of tea that was still steaming.
A moment later a middle-aged woman came and sat down in front of that person. They seem to be talking about something. No, their fingers were showing numbers, seemingly negotiating a price.
After reaching an agreement, the middle-aged woman thrust out a pouch that the man received. Then the middle-aged woman left lethargic.
"Ckck, there is already bad news regarding Master Mu, there are still people buying," Ling Zizhou said as he shook his head.
"Let's follow that person," Mu Lian said to Xiaoxiao. They left Ling Zizhou to pay for their food.
"..." - ".(Ling Zizhou)
Mu Lian and Xiaoxiao followed the person a safe distance. When the man turns, they turn and when the man stops, they stop.
The man stopped at a stall selling jewelry. Moments later, the man walked away from the jewelry stall.
The man walked to a quiet area with a house that began to look sparse. Mu Lian and Xiaoxiao sped up their steps to catch up to that person.
Whether instinct or not, the person turned his body and took out a small knife. Mu Lian and Xiaoxiao who were walking so fast did not expect that the person would stop abruptly and turn his body around. With a sharp weapon in his hand anyway! The little gun looks deadly.
Without a second thought, Mu Lian used the only thing she was grasping, the fan Mu Haocun gave her to fend off the small blade.
Flicking his right wrist, Mu Lian made the fan deflect the small blade perfectly.
"Trangs!"
A loud sound rang out as the small blade clashed against his fan. After circling in the air for a while, the small blade fell into a hand.
"Hmmm!" mu Lian said while covering part of her face again.
Who would have thought, behind the black-colored fan Mu Lian's expression showed tremendous shock. Mu Lian did not expect that Mu Haocun's gifting fan was that loud!
"You who? What do you guys need from this wise Master Mu?!" said the man. His voice sounded like a middle-aged man.
The man retreated a few steps after losing the only weapon he had. The behavior of someone who reprimanded while taking a thousand steps back!
"Please! You don't know who this girl in front of you is?!" xiaoxiao said as she pointed at Mu Lian.
That person was increasingly afraid to hear Xiaoxiao say, his body moving uneasily. If the girl managed to fend off her attack, that means, that girl is not an ordinary girl is it?
"I don't know what the young ladies are talking about. If you want to talk to me about something, let's move to a better place" the person said, changing the way he spoke. Afraid that the two girls before him were 'important people'.
"Hmph, where is your guts, impostor!" mu Lian said continuing "It seems like I put too high an expectation on you,"
"Huh? Impos- what?" xiaoxiao said and that person simultaneously.
Sometimes this Jiejie likes to say strange things. But this time Xiaoxiao had trouble reciting the words spoken by Mu Lian.
