Seven Demons

Chapter 629 Meeting Cai Lan
Cai Lan has already said what she most wanted to say, which is to persuade Mu Xiao to voluntarily withdraw from the engagement. In this way, the Cai family's reputation will not be damaged. In fact, Mu Xiao doesn't take the marriage contract seriously, but the old shepherd seems to hope that the two Being able to get married, and Mu Xiao took a look at Cai Lan, she can be regarded as a first-class beauty, both ability and beauty are not comparable to ordinary women, but since Mu Xiao lost his memory, he is also a cautious person in his memory. People, but he knew that he didn't have much feeling for Cai Lan in his heart.

Mu Xiao spread his hands: "Could it be that there is no chance for you and me to get married again?"

Cai Lan couldn't help frowning when she heard this sentence. She originally thought that after hearing her persuasion, Mu Xiao, who came from the remote and poor Wuzhen Mu, would sternly disagree, but Cai Lan didn't hear that. The answer, on the contrary, Mu Xiao seemed very calm, and just asked a question.

At this time, Cai Lan finally stood up and turned around. When the nine people were gathered in the lobby just now, due to the large number of people at that time, it was not easy for Cai Lan to keep looking at Mu Xiao, and there were many business matters to be discussed at that time. , so Cai Lan did not look carefully at Mu Xiao.But the two men looked at each other in a straight line.And Mu Xiao still looked very calm.On the contrary, Cai Lan seemed a little unnatural. After all, two people who had a marriage contract looked at each other. If it was according to the marriage contract, they should be husband and wife in the future.

Mu Xiao said again: "Miss Cai Lan please answer."

Cai Lan said in a hasty voice: "No, it's not that there is no chance, unless you."

Cai Lan said here, but before he could say the following words, suddenly two other people came into the yard, and saw that Luying who had just left came back, and Panahao was following behind Luying, Panahao was still in a gorgeous suit Dress, one can tell that he is also a person of noble birth.

Panahao glanced at Mu Xiao, as if looking down on Mu Xiao, Panahao walked up to Mu Xiao, and then cupped his hands at Cai Lan: "I'm really sorry, I didn't see Miss Cai Lan just now, I miss you so much. , that’s why I came here rashly to meet Ms. Cai Lan, I’m a bit abrupt, please forgive me.”

Mu Xiao rubbed his nose, because he knew that Panahao and Lu Ying had an affair, it must be because Cai Lan asked Mu Xiao to meet here alone, and Luying was afraid that Cai Lan and Mu Xiao would have an affection, When Cai Lan and Mu Xiao get married, Luying will have to marry her as a dowry, but Luying likes Panahao, so Luying secretly informs her and brings Panahao here to meet Cai Lan.

Cai Lan knows that Panahao likes her, because Panahao has been pursuing him for several years. At this moment, Mu Xiao, who has a marriage contract, and Panahao, who likes her, stand together, forming a stark contrast. Mu Xiao's boy, and the other is a nobleman's son, but the height of the two seems to be higher than that of Mu Xiao, and Mu Xiao also seems very confident and calm, and the temperament of the two is similar.

Cai Lan said: "Oh! Mr. Panahao actually came here, let's chat!"

Panahao glanced at Mu Xiao next to him, then nodded and agreed: "Okay!"

Mu Xiao thought to himself: Let's chat?What's there to talk about?If Cai Lan is willing to choose Panahao, she can marry him, and Mu Xiao won't mind too much.

Mu Xiao smiled and said: "Hehe, those two continue to chat, I will take my leave first."

After Mu Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the yard, looking at Mu Xiao's leaving back, Cai Lan seemed a little surprised.

When Mu Xiao returned to the house where he lived, it was already noon, so the servants of Cai's family just brought the food.

Mu Xiao was sitting in the small hall of the house, the servants did not have much status in the family, so they usually kept their mouths shut, but Mu Xiao took the initiative to ask: "By the way, what happened last night? ? Why is it so noisy? I didn’t sleep well all night.”

Servant: "I also heard from the family guards. Last night, it seems that our Cai family came to thieves."

Mu Xiao touched his nose, isn't that thief the old man and himself?Mu Xiao continued to ask: "Oh! So there was a thief? Did the thief steal anything?"

Servant: "We don't know the current people, but if we can sneak into our Cai's house and leave safely, we must not be ordinary thieves, and even extraordinary thieves will not steal ordinary things, so Everyone guessed that the thieves must have stolen our Cai family’s valuables, that’s why all the guards searched all night.”

Mu Xiao: "So that's the case, then do you know who the thief is?"

Servant: "The thieves ran away. Remember what the guards said. When we were in the ancestral hall, there were two thieves. One suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Humans will also discuss these things in private, as for thieves? Hehe."

The so-called people will definitely suffocate if they don't talk when they are free. It is only natural for these people to talk about the family behind their backs. They know the Cai family very well, so maybe they can get some news from them. Mu Xiao continued to ask: "As for the thief? ? Do you know who it is?"

The servant said: "Although we have never seen the thief, as members of the Cai family, of course we know how strict the guards of the Cai family are, and the thief was able to successfully steal the things of the Cai family and leave safely. There is no such thing in this world. A few people can do it, but those people must be the first-class strong ones, and the strong ones will naturally not come to steal, so there is only one person left to be doubted, and that person is Qu Wan, one of the four monsters in Wangcheng.

"Oh, it turns out that there is a strange thief named Qu Wan in Ice King City!" After speaking, Mu Xiao picked up his chopsticks and planned to have lunch.

At this moment, Mu Xiao suddenly found that the servant brought only one pair of chopsticks, and the food was half as much as in the morning. Mu Xiao asked, "Why is there only one food for one person?"

Servant: "Oh! The distinguished guest who lived with you has left Cai's house."

"What, that old man left?" Mu Xiao continued to ask, "How long has he been away?"

Maid: "Soon, you just left before you came back."

Outside the gate of Cai's mansion, the old man just walked out of the gate. Outside the gate of the mansion is the street of Bingwang City. The street is very lively, and there are people coming and going everywhere. After walking out of the gate, the old man never looked back, but accelerated his pace. , seems to be a little rushed.

The old man was crowded in the crowd, and he was still walking in a hurry. Many people on the street were squeezed by the old man and almost fell down. Some even yelled at the old man for not having eyes, but the old man ignored them.Finally far away from Cai's mansion.

The old man suddenly walked into the alley next to the street. The alley was very narrow, and no one walked into this kind of place. At this moment, the old man suddenly moved his ears.

The old man suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, aren't you tired of following me all the time? Why don't you show up and see me?"

At this time, a sound of footsteps appeared behind the old man. When the old man looked back, he saw a familiar person appearing in front of him. The old man was very surprised: "Why is it you?"

The person who was following was Mu Xiao. It turned out that after Mu Xiao heard that the old man had left Cai's house, he immediately chased him out. As he walked forward, Mu Xiao said, "Fellow Daoist Qu Wan, isn't it me?"

The old man said, "Qu Wan? Mu Xiao, did you recognize the wrong person? You were the one who followed me last night?"

Mu Xiao nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Hearing this, the old man suddenly became nervous, which meant that Mu Xiao knew that he had stolen the property of the Cai family. If he didn’t want the second person in the world to know, he had to kill Mu Xiao. The old man moved his right hand slowly and put it on his waist on top of the storage bag.

Of course Mu Xiao noticed this movement, and Mu Xiao immediately said: "Don't tell me you want to do it? Qu Wan, think about it, I was able to escape safely last night, which proves that I still have some strength. You'd better do it before you do it." Think about it carefully."

The old man thought about it for a while, and what Mu Xiao said was indeed correct, so the old man finally gave up fighting, because once a fight broke out, it might not be able to kill Mu Xiao, but instead attracted the people around, and at that time attracted the armor of the Ice King City Warrior, and Mu Xiao revealed the theft again, then it would be a bad time.

The old man said: "What do you want?"

Mu Xiao was still walking forward and said: "You are the one who stole Qu Wan, it's very simple, you just need to do me a favor, you stole the matter of Cai's family last night, I swear I won't say a word about it."

The old man frowned: "Help? Help for what? Stop, don't come over."

Mu Xiao was still walking forward, and he was less than three feet away from the old man at this moment. The old man was a little nervous, and he planned to take out the magic weapon from the storage bag first, but at this moment, Mu Xiao suddenly shouted: "Phantom assassination." As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiao's body turned into a phantom, moving extremely fast, before the old man could take out the magic weapon, he held down the old man's hand, and moved his body behind the old man, pinching the old man with one hand neck.

In fact, the old man's strength is not bad, it's just that Mu Xiao suddenly increased his movement speed, such a sneak attack caught the old man by surprise, so he was subdued all of a sudden.

The old man's neck was strangled, and he felt very uncomfortable. He blushed and said, "What do you want? Didn't you say that you should not do it?"

Mu Xiao: "If you don't do anything, how can I make you listen to me? Don't worry, you only need to do me a favor."

Now that the old man is in someone else's hands, he certainly won't refuse: "Okay, what do you want me to do? Tell me!"

Mu Xiao shook his head slightly: "I promised so simply, wouldn't it be perfunctory? It's better to leave some tokens. At this moment, Mu Xiao felt a small box hidden in the old man's arms, and Mu Xiao immediately put the small box away. Holding it in his hand, he saw the word "Cai" engraved on the box. Obviously, the old man stole the box from the Cai family's ancestral hall.
