They all looked at Mu Tian and expected something complimentary from him, but Mu Tian only stood up and banged on the table. "Wow, he is a big shot. I am his student. Shouldn't he give me a gift of greeting?"
After saying that, she was going to find her Master and reason with him.
"Bang."
"Bang."
With the bumps on her head, Murong Xue stared at them plaintively. "Why did you hit me?"
Lin Nan felt helpless and said, "Mr. Lan Zun is no ordinary man. Do you understand?"
"I know, but he is my Master now. He should give me a gift of greeting." Murong Xue did not find anything wrong with her argument.
Even Wu Xiaomei, the most easy-going one among them, tried to persuade Mu Tian, "Mu Tian, you'd better show some respect for Mr. Lan Zun. Everyone on this continent is jealous of you having him as your Master, including me. He is a legend."
Murong Xue answered, her lip curling, "For me, he is just an umbrella."
Puzzled, Zhu Ming questioned, "What umbrella?" He thought it was a bad metaphor.
"A protective umbrella that can shelter me from time to time. Nothing but that. Ouch!"
Hearing that, Lin Nan covered her mouth with his hand at once. He warned her seriously with a grim face, "Don't say that ever again. Otherwise, you'll be a sitting target for everyone, especially those outside the college." There were countless people on the Fengyun Continent who wanted to be students of Lan Zun, and he had dreamed of it as well. However, Mu Tian became the only one he wanted to follow since they met each other. Although he did not say it publicly, he believed that Mu Tian was the strongest.
Realizing that it was so troublesome, Murong Xue complained, "D*mn, he seems no better than an umbrella. He is trouble."
Wanting to knock Mu Tian out and throw him away, Lin Nan and the others held their foreheads and tried to calm down.
"Think. Mr. Lan Zun is very powerful, so he can help you find your parents. You should be nice to..."
A powerful wind went by. Before Lin Nan could finish his words, Mu Tian disappeared.
When they realized it, they knew where Mu Tian went immediately. Looking at each other, they said in one voice, "We have to stop him." They ran out to catch up with Mu Tian.
Having spent some time with Mu Tian, they knew him well enough to foresee his bad attitude.
At the same time, students in Longyu College felt that a sudden blast of wind went by.
After a while, the blast of wind returned and asked, "Where is Lan Zun?"
The students stared at Mu Tian and did not understand why the wind was talking to them.
"Come on! Are you idiots?" Then the wind disappeared.
Standing still for a while, the students finally understood what the wind was and they backfired, "You are an idiot."
In the distance, Murong Xue heard their roar and murmured, "You guys are slow enough to be idiots."
Murong Xue went to several places, but she did not see Lan Zun. So she exploded with rage, "D*mn you, Lan Zun. Where are you? Come out now!" The cries scared the birds on the tree and they fell to the ground.
Guards coming from everywhere in the college rushed towards Murong Xue and they all wanted to cut this wrecker into little pieces. They would not allow anyone to disgrace Mr. Lan Zun.
"Call me Master. Don't you know anything about good manners?"
Seeing Lan Zun, Murong Xue jumped at him and grabbed him by the collar. She asked him in a fierce voice, "Help me find my parents."
Lan Zun did not know her story, so he only felt confused. Murong Xue looked like an avenger now.
Lan Zun sighed helplessly and said, "Let go of my clothes."
"No. Unless you promise you'll help me find my parents." Murong Xue feared that he would run away, so she held him very hard.
The college guards arrived. They saw that two beautiful men looked at each other and that Mu Tian, the smaller one, grabbed Lan Zun by the collar as if he had had secret sorrow. At this moment, a breeze swept over their entangled hair and petals fell down from trees, which made everything look like a sweet dream.
Seeing this, the guards in black uniforms automatically stopped, with their jaws falling off.
After a long time, the guards went back the way they came quietly and they were determined to keep the secret for Mr. Lan Zun. They used to wonder why there was no woman around him and now they guessed they found the answer.
Thinking of how powerful Mr. Lan Zun was, they were not surprised that men were willing to be with him. In fact, if they could, they would.
However, it was nothing like that.
Lan Zun looked at his student with a struggling face. "How are you going to pay for my clothes? It's wrinkled now."
Murong Xue threw him a disgusted look and backfired, "It's just a rag. Tell me. How much is it? I can buy you lots of it."
Lan Zun reminded, "The rag in your eyes is a top-grade spirit weapon."
"A spirit weapon? Don't try to intimidate me. It's just a rag. Not fashionable and not tailored. What kind of spirit weapon it is?" Despite her refutal, she loosened her grip. If it was a top-grade spirit weapon, she could not afford it.
Hearing what she said, Lan Zun felt speechless for the first time. He did not know why a spirit weapon needed to be fashionable.
"Don't change the subject. Help me find my parents."
Lan Zun was not sure whether his student was asking for a favor or courting hatred.
He raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Why should I help you?"
Murong Xue goggled at him fiercely. "You are my Master. If you don't help me, what is a Master for?"
Lan Zun was stunned. He had never thought that a Master should be what she said.
At this moment, Lin Nan and the others arrived just in time to hear what Murong Xue said recklessly. Lin Nan rushed forward to cover Mu Tian's mouth, made him let go of Lan Zun, and dragged him away. The others lowered their heads with great respect and kept apologizing to Lan Zun.
Zhao Qi said nervously, "Mr. Lan Zun, I'm sorry. Mu Tian just had a brain stroke."
The silver mask Lan Zun wore covered his face and expressions, so they were unable to tell his feelings.
Zhu Ming said in a hurry, "Yeah, Mu Tian forgot to take his pills today. Please forgive him."
"Mr. Lan Zun…" Wu Xiaomei had never met such a big name, so she was nervous and bit her own tongue, which worsened her anxiety. Now she felt upset that she was unable to provide a good explanation for Mu Tian.
Lowering their heads, the three all had cold sweats. Mr. Lan Zun said nothing, so they did not know if he was angry. To avoid irritating him, they could only keep their heads down.
Meanwhile, being dragged by Lin Nan, Murong Xue kept struggling. With her cultivation, she could get rid of Lin Nan, but she did not want to hurt him. Lin Nan knew it, so he dared to do it.
"Aww… Woo..." Murong Xue wanted him to let go of her.
Lin Nan was furious now and he even wanted to beat Mu Tian up for being so difficult. "You must be mad. How could you talk to Mr. Lan Zun like that?"
"Aww… Woo..." Murong Xue wanted to talk, but her words were muffled.
"You want to die? What did we tell you before?"
"Aww..." Murong Xue only wanted to be free.
"I'm talking to you. Do you hear me? Say something!"
"..." Murong Xue was truly helpless.
Lin Nan continued, "Mu Tian, are you mute?"
"..." Murong Xue rolled her eyes at him and gave up struggling.
At the same time, Lan Zun and the three remained unchanged.
Finally, they heard Lan Zun's cold clear voice. "What relationship do you have with Mu Tian?"
"We follow him. We are partners."
"Go and tell Mu Tian to come over."
Hearing this, they looked up at once. "Mr. Lan Zun, Mu Tian..."
"Go. Don't make me repeat again." Lan Zun's eyes shone coldly.
The three trembled and they could not stop shaking. They could only answer, "Yes, sir." No matter what it would be, they would stay with Mu Tian.
Seeing them walk over, Lin Nan asked, "What now?"
Zhao Qi and the other two looked terrible. They simply said, "Mr. Lan Zun asks Mu Tian to go over here."
Lin Nan doubted if Mr. Lan Zun was angry and he felt worried. Looking at Mu Tian who was reckless, he even wanted to spank him. If they could, they would take the punishment for him.
Lin Nan let go of his hand. Murong Xue jumped up at once, rushed over to Lan Zun, and repeated what she had done before.
Taking a look at his broken clothes, Lan Zun frowned. "Let go before we can talk." He did not know what changed his student's personality, but his student seemed to be livelier and more adorable than the godly person she used to be.
"Promise me first." Murong Xue did not let go of her hands.
"Fine, I promise. Are you happy now?" If he did not compromise now, his clothes would be torn into pieces.
Murong Xue loosened her grip slightly, but she still doubted it, "Really?"
Lin Nan and the others stood behind and watched them, all shaking. They tried so hard to stop themselves from dragging Mu Tian back, but they could tell that Mr. Lan Zun was not angry.
Lan Zun nodded, "Really. My sincerity is as good as pearls."
Murong Xue had wanted to let go of him, but she strengthened her grip when she heard his answer. "Pearls are no good. Are you lying to me? I use the same phrase a lot."
Lan Zun thought to himself, "Don't compare me with you."
Hearing this, Lin Nan and the others had mixed feelings. They never thought that Mu Tian was only fooling them. Every time Mu Tian said that to them, they all believed it.
"Let go now. Otherwise, I don't mind showing you how to respect your Master." Lan Zun used his force while he said these.
Murong Xue's movement froze for a moment and let go of him immediately. Then she raised a flirty smile. "Aye, I'm just joking."
"Be normal. If not, I'll flay you and hang you on the tree." Lan Zun felt pleased that he got to meet her first in this life.
Murong Xue trembled and her smile faded. She put her right hand over the left and bowed slightly. "Your student, Mu Tian, comes to see Master. Please forgive my rudeness, Master. I..."
Lan Zun frowned, "What are you doing?"
Murong Xue pouted, her fingers crossed, "You asked me to be normal."
Lan Zun could feel little veins popping out of his temple.
Lin Nan and the others felt scared and they worried that Mu Tian would be destroyed by Mr. Lan Zun any second now.
However, they could understand what Mr. Lan Zun was thinking now because they had been through that. Mu Tian pissed them off every day. They loved him but also hated him. In the end, they could only mop up the mess Mu Tian left.
Lan Zun asked, "Come with me. The rest of you wait here."
Murong Xue leapt to follow him and the others staying put clenched their fists. They did not fear death, and they obeyed the order just to avoid any trouble for Mu Tian. They could tell that Mr. Lan Zun was very tolerant of Mu Tian, so they thought Mu Tian would not be hurt as his student.
Lan Zun took Mu Tian to a bamboo house, in front of which were bamboo forests. A path paved with cobbles separated the bamboo forests and led to the house. Entering the house, Murong Xue kept looking around. The house was neat and tidy, with a few simple pieces of furniture, which demonstrated the house owner's quiet and elegant character.
Murong Xue said, "Master…"
