Ouyang Huajin left in a hurry. Even if Sun Shengdu wanted to explain to him, he temporarily lost the chance.

What he can do now is to persuade Meng Zhang to stay down first, so as to save them from causing more trouble.

Meng Zhang was very dissatisfied with Chunyu Inn and the shopkeeper, and led Sun Shengdu out of here directly.

He didn't go far and found a random teahouse outside.

He and Sun Shengdu entered the teahouse together, were led to a private room, sat down, and then began to talk slowly.

As soon as Sun Shengdu sat down, he apologized very sincerely to Meng Zhang, saying that he had a great responsibility for Meng Zhang's trouble this time.

It turned out that Ouyang Huajin had fallen in love with a female cultivator from the Gu Yue family a long time ago and wanted to take her as his concubine.

Although the Gu Yue family is a related family, their foundation in the court is shallow and their background is insufficient.

Having the opportunity to marry a disciple of Sword Prince Ouyang Jian is of course a great thing that one can only dream of.

With Ouyang Jian's support, the Gu Yue family will achieve greater development in all aspects.

Originally, Gu Yuedu visited the Sword Prince Ouyang Jian early to settle the matter.

According to Ouyang Jian's wishes, after two years, after Ouyang Huajin's cultivation has been consolidated, this woman from the Gu Yue family will be allowed to enter.

Just two days ago, rumors suddenly spread among the elite circles in Shangjing City, saying that the Gu Yue family intended to marry Meng Zhang, the head of the Taiyi clan, and agreed to let Meng Zhang choose a marriage partner at will from the Gu Yue family.

By coincidence, the woman Meng Zhang fell in love with happened to be Ouyang Huajin's concubine who had never been with him.

At this time, all kinds of unpleasant rumors began to spread everywhere, and soon reached Ouyang Huajin's ears.

Being interested in someone's concubine that he has not yet entered is almost the same as the hatred of seizing his wife.

Early this morning, Ouyang Huajin led people to break into Chunyu Inn to give Meng Zhang a good look.

If Sun Shengdu hadn't arrived in time, explained the stakes, and persuaded both parties to stop, we still don't know how this matter would have ended.

When he said this, Sun Sheng felt greatly regretful.

It was originally a good thing that he helped connect Meng Zhang and the Gu Yue family.

It's okay if the good things between the two parties don't work out. Now that such rumors are spreading, then as the middleman, he can't escape the blame.

According to Sun Shengdu, it would be best for Meng Zhang and Gu Yuedu to come forward together to clarify the rumors to avoid deepening the misunderstanding.

After hearing Sun Shengdu's words, Meng Zhang did not answer immediately, but fell into thinking.

Who is it that spreads such rumors at this time?

A rumor involved three parties, Meng Zhang, the Gu Yue family and Ouyang Huajin.

Although Meng Zhang was provoked by Ouyang Jian today, the target of those spreading rumors is not necessarily Meng Zhang.

Previously, Meng Zhang, because of his relationship with Shang Jianqing, suspected that Ouyang Huajin came to trouble him because he was standing up for his fellow students.

Now, he suspected that Ouyang Joaquin might have been taken advantage of and used as a weapon.

Of course, no matter what the truth is, Meng Zhang will not let Ouyang Joaquin off easily if he openly provokes him.

Anyway, because of Shang Jianqing's relationship, the two parties are destined not to be friends.

Today's Meng Zhang can be regarded as a person of some status. If he is so offended, he will never swallow his anger and let it go.

Meng Zhang ignored Sun Shengdu's persuasion, but slowly thought about how he should retaliate.

It doesn't seem possible to take action openly in the capital city.

While Sun Shengdu and Meng Zhang were talking, the person they were talking about, Ouyang Huajin, had already flown to the mansion of Sword Prince Ouyang Jian with two companions.

These two middle-aged men are both capable subordinates who have been cultivated by the sword prince Ouyang Jian for many years and have always won his trust.

Ouyang Jian paid more attention to Ouyang Huajin after he became the Yuan Shen, and almost regarded him as his successor.

He knew that this closed disciple had an out-of-touch personality and was not stable enough.

Therefore, two capable subordinates were asked to follow Ouyang Joaquin to prevent him from causing any uncontrollable trouble.

"Young Master, if that country bumpkin named Meng Zhang is really a Wu Xing Guard, then we can't continue to cause trouble for him. That guy Han Yao has never dealt with the prince, and he is very protective of his shortcomings." One of the guards said.

Another person added, "Master, what happened this time may really be a misunderstanding as that guy Sun Shengdu said. No matter how courageous Meng Zhang is, he probably wouldn't dare to compete with the master for a woman."

Ouyang Huajin knew what his two subordinates were thinking. They were worried that if they insisted on causing trouble for Meng Zhang, they would cause some trouble in Shangjing City and it would be difficult to deal with it afterwards.

These two guards were Ouyang Jian's subordinates, not Ouyang Huajin's. He could not forcefully order them directly. He needed to explain his behavior properly.

"Of course I know this is a misunderstanding. Maybe someone deliberately spread rumors."

"I once heard Senior Brother Shang Jianqing mention that Taiyi Sect is a Yuanshen sect in Jiuqu Province. As the leader of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang is quite capable."

"If he intends to marry the Gu Yue family, then the Gu Yue family has many female monks for him to choose from. No matter how stupid and arrogant he is, he will not compete with me for a woman."

"It's just that this Meng Zhang has lost face to Senior Brother Shang Jianqing before. Now there are rumors like this. If I don't respond at all, others will think that I am easy to bully and think that my reputation as a prince is in vain."

"Originally, I was planning to scare him and save some face for Senior Brother Shang Jianqing. However, since he is a fifth-level guard under Han Yao, I can't let things go this time."

"Anyway, Han Yao and his master have always been enemies. With this excuse, I can use his five punishment guards to prove my reputation as a master."

Although Ouyang Huajin patiently explained his thoughts to his two subordinates, deep down in his heart, he did not think too highly of Meng Zhang.

Even if Meng Zhang's cultivation level is one level higher than his, he doesn't worry that he won't be his opponent.

The two guards listened to Ouyang Huajin's explanation and said nothing more.

Due to their status, they could not forcefully stop Ouyang Joaquin, so they could only report the matter to Ouyang Jian.

As for Meng Zhang and Sun Shengdu, Sun Shengdu persuaded Meng Zhang for a long time. Seeing that Meng Zhang didn't say much, he thought that Meng Zhang listened to his persuasion and stopped pursuing the matter.

After appeasing Meng Zhang, Sun Shengdu left the teahouse and hurriedly went to find Gu Yueyu.

Although both of them are early Yuanshen monks, their identities are very different.

It took Sun Shengdu a lot of effort to meet Gu Yuedu.

After the meeting, Sun Shengdu told him the reason for his visit without bothering to exchange pleasantries.

He hoped that Gu Yuedu and Meng Zhang would come forward together to clarify the rumors spreading everywhere and put an end to the incident as soon as possible.
