97: Ask for justice for my nephew

Xu Nianzu looked at Lin Mu with eyes full of pleading.

Lin Mu said calmly, "Calm down, let's sit down and see first."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he sat down on his own.

Not long after the two of them sat down, more people arrived one after another.

Apparently, these people had all bought special invitations.

One of them, a young master in brocade clothes holding a fan, walked directly to Lin Mu's table.

He was beaming, cupped his hands humbly, and said, "I am Xu Liang, may I sit with Young Master?"

Lin Mu said indifferently, "Please do."

Xu Liang seemed not to have noticed Lin Mu's cold tone.

He unceremoniously sat down next to Lin Mu.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Liang eagerly inquired about Lin Mu's identity.

"May I ask Young Master's esteemed surname, and where are you from?"

This action of his was a bit abrupt.

He was clearly a naive and inexperienced youth.

Lin Mu chuckled and said, "Lin Mu, a wanderer with no fixed abode."

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, then raised his wine glass and said, "So it's Young Master Lin, I toast to Young Master Lin."

Lin Mu raised his wine glass and lightly clinked it with Xu Liang's, then drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Liang also drank his all in one gulp.

After that, he began to talk incessantly.

Lin Mu looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but think of Xu Liying.

They both had the surname Xu, both were naturally friendly, and both were talkative people.

Lin Mu couldn't help but think,

If it were a hundred years ago, this person might have been Xu Liying's long-lost brother.

Just then, Xu Liang suddenly lowered his voice and said,

"Does Young Master Lin know who is getting married today?"

Generally speaking, most people who attend a wedding banquet already know.

However, Lin Mu had come in a hurry and did not know.

He asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Xu Liang smiled mysteriously and said, "The one getting married today is Cui Ze, the Cui Family's number one genius."

As soon as Xu Liang finished speaking, Xu Nianzu, who was sitting nearby, slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

He looked at Xu Liang with cold eyes and said, "Who did you say?"

Xu Liang was startled by Xu Nianzu's action, and he said softly, "Cui Ze."

He didn't understand what was wrong with this person; could he have a grudge against Cui Ze?

He couldn't help but look at Xu Nianzu a few more times.

Seeing this, Lin Mu already understood.

It seems that the person who killed Xu Nianzu's son and severely injured Xu Nianzu's wife is related to this Cui Ze.

Lin Mu casually cast a Clear Heart Spell on Xu Nianzu.

Xu Nianzu immediately felt much calmer.

He gave Xu Liang an apologetic look, then quietly sat down.

After this interlude, the several people lost interest in talking.

They all quietly drank their wine.

Half an hour later, the main banquet hall suddenly became noisy.

Lin Mu looked over.

He saw a groom in a red wedding robe, leading a bride with a red veil over her head, slowly walking into the wedding hall.

Lin Mu pointed at the groom and asked Xu Nianzu,

"Is that the person who harmed your wife and child?"

Xu Nianzu gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed Cui Ze; I would recognize him even if he turned to ash."

Lin Mu nodded and said, "It's good that it's him."

With that, he pulled Xu Nianzu with one hand, and with a flash, disappeared from his original spot.

Xu Liang looked at the two who had suddenly vanished, momentarily stunned.

Immediately, he saw the figures of Lin Mu and Xu Nianzu appear in the main banquet hall in the distance.

He vaguely felt that something might happen.

He actually flew towards the banquet hall as well, his figure very fast.

Wherever he passed, he only left behind a series of afterimages.

Clearly, he also possessed no shallow cultivation.

In the banquet hall.

Cui Ze was about to lift the veil of the beautiful woman in front of him.

This was the perfect person he had longed for, and today his wish was finally granted.

Just then, two figures appeared at an inopportune moment, interrupting his action.

His heart immediately burned with anger, but since all those present today were guests, he couldn't act out.

He tried his best to maintain a smile on his face and said, "Have the two of you been poorly entertained by the Cui Family?"

Lin Mu said calmly, "I am here to seek justice for my young nephew."

Cui Ze's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze inadvertently fell upon Xu Nianzu.

Suddenly, the anger in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and he said sharply, "So it's you! I didn't expect you to dare to come here!"

At this moment, the Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) sitting at the head table also got up and walked over.

He asked Cui Ze, "Ze'er, what's going on? Do you know them?"

Cui Ze's face was unpredictable, then he approached the Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) and whispered a few words in his ear.

The Middle-aged man (Fang Yan) was first stunned, gave Cui Ze a reproachful look, and then looked at Xu Nianzu.

He then said in a deep voice, "I am Cui Jin, the acting patriarch of the Cui Family. How about we discuss whatever matter you have after my son's wedding banquet concludes?"

Although Cui Jin's words were polite, his unquestionable tone clearly indicated that he wanted Xu Nianzu to retreat.

Xu Nianzu laughed in anger upon hearing this and said, "Your son Cui Ze killed my wife and child; this grudge is irreconcilable, there's nothing to discuss."

"I came here today to seek justice for my poor wife and child."

Cui Jin's face darkened, seeing the surrounding guests beginning to point and discuss animatedly.

He said in a cold tone, "You scoundrel, to frame and slander on the day of my son's wedding, I think you must be a spy for a foreign race."

"Guards, seize these two, and await the Ancestor's return from Yan Country for their disposal."

As soon as Cui Jin opened his mouth, he slapped the label of foreign race spies on Lin Mu and Xu Nianzu.

At this time, foreign races were invading Yan Country.

If this label were to be solidified, Xu Nianzu would be unable to defend himself.

He immediately retorted, "You mustn't slander me! I am Cui Wanqing's husband; surely you haven't forgotten your own sister, have you?"

Upon hearing Xu Nianzu's words, the guests began to whisper and discuss again.

Some who knew Cui Wanqing began to explain to those who were unaware of the truth.

After understanding the whole story, everyone looked at Cui Ze with disdain.

"This person actually killed his own cousin in the street out of jealousy."

"And even more beastly, killed his own aunt."

"This is simply depraved."

Listening to these words, Cui Ze's face was so dark that water could be squeezed out of it.

He shouted, "Father, quickly seize the scoundrels!"

Cui Jin was also furious at this moment; if today's matter could not be handled properly,

His Cui Family would lose all face.

At that time, his position as acting patriarch would also come to an end.

Thinking of this, he uttered a secret phrase, and suddenly several Flying Heaven Realm martial artists appeared from the shadows.

He pointed at Lin Mu and Xu Nianzu and said, "Seize these two spies for me; if they resist, kill them without mercy."

As soon as he finished speaking, several Flying Heaven Realm martial artists from the Cui Family all flashed and attacked Lin Mu.

Lin Mu looked at the attacking figures, a look of mockery on his handsome face.

Mere Flying Heaven Realm cultivators dared to be presumptuous in front of him.

He stood his ground, not even intending to make a move.

Seeing this scene, everyone began to worry about Lin Mu and Xu Nianzu.

In everyone's eyes, Xu Nianzu's strength was only at the ninth layer of Divine Travel.

And the aura on Lin Mu's body was even more faint, as if he were a martial artist who had just begun cultivating.

Any one of the Cui Family's Flying Heaven Realm martial artists could easily kill them.

Xu Liang's expression, standing in the crowd, kept changing, and in the end, he chose not to act.

Although he was confident he could withstand the Cui Family's Flying Heaven Realm cultivators in front of him, the Cui Family had far more Flying Heaven Realm cultivators than just these few.

Furthermore, the Cui Family's Ancestor had already been in the Venerable Realm a hundred years ago.

His rash action would not be worth the gain.

Just as he was feeling regret for Lin Mu and Xu Nianzu,

Suddenly, a soft shout came from the field.

"Die!!!"

As soon as the word 'die' was uttered, the several Flying Heaven Realm cultivators attacking Lin Mu all froze in place.

Xu Liang was astonished to find that these people had no aura at all, and they had all died of asphyxiation.

Someone in the crowd also saw it.

He gasped and said, "They're all dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the several Cui Family members who were frozen in place all fell backward onto the ground in unison.

At this, everyone was too shocked to speak.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
