At night, Wei Yuan held a banquet at the city lord's mansion to welcome Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin.

When the two appeared, they did not bring Tuobayan to come together. Wei Yuan asked with a smile: "Elder Ninth has just returned, why didn't he bring Mr. Xiaohan with him?"

"He is not feeling well and is resting." Mu Lin said with a faint expression.

"Hehe, the two elders have worked hard all the way, hurry up and sit down." Wei Yuan said with a smile.

It was said to be a banquet, but in fact, only Wei Yuan, Wei Fangping and his son, as well as Wei Zheng, the great elder, were not there.

Wei Zheng's face was not as happy and angry as he looked, but he was not calm. Because with Wei Qinfang's death, Wei Zheng's plan had been disrupted. What he originally thought was that once Wei Qinfang successfully used Wei Qinfang to secretly win over Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin, his major event would soon be completed. But now, there is no chance...

"Eight Elders, how are the marriage talks about?" Wei Yuan looked at Xiao Yuesheng and asked.

"If you return to the city lord, the marriage has not been completed." Xiao Yuesheng said respectfully.

Wei Yuan looked inexplicably: "The marriage has not been completed, what did the two elders do when they came to the Lian family?"

"If you return to the city lord, the marriage was not completed because Lian Ce's nephew Liancheng was ordained and became a monk." Mu Lin said.

Wei Yuan looked a little surprised: "His he actually became a monk?"

"Yes. The city lord doesn't have to worry about Yuanyin Temple interfering in the affairs of Wei Lian's two families in the future, because after Liancheng officially became a disciple of Yuanyin Temple, he could no longer care about the affairs of the Lian family." Mu Lin said.

Wei Yuan nodded and asked again: "Is it just that?"

Xiao Yuesheng continued: "My City Lord, Lian Ce passed the position of the City Lord to his son Lian Yu."

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Take it serious?"

"It's true, we all testified." Xiao Yuesheng said.

"Lien Yu is a blind man. Lian Ce passes the position of the city lord to him at this time. Could it be... Lian Ce is seriously injured or has a terminal illness and will be in short order?" Wei Yuan said thoughtfully.

From the perspective of a normal outsider, it is normal for Wei Yuan to guess this. Lian Ce is in his prime, and Lian Yu is blind again. The Wild Fog City is at its critical moment of life and death. From common sense, Lian Ce should not hand over the position of the city lord to Lian Yu, unless Lian Ce cannot continue to be the city lord...

"Father, I also think there is a possibility that Lian Yu designed to seize Lian Ce's position, and the father and son have turned against each other." Wei Fangping said.

Wei Yuan looked a little weird, and then he heard Xiao Yuesheng say, "When we first arrived at Wilson City, the city lord was still Lian Ce. Lian Ce refused to agree to the conditions we proposed, and even almost attacked us for his nephew."

Mu Lin continued: "But the next day we arrived, Lian Yu suddenly became the new city lord of Wilson City. Lian Ce didn't care about anything anymore. Lian Yu's attitude towards us was very different from Lian Ce."

"What's the difference?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Lian Yu said that he promised to cooperate with the Wei family, as long as the Wei family can help Wildfog City overcome this difficulty. Next month, Lian Yu said that he would come in person and discuss cooperation with the city lord in person." Xiao Yuesheng said.

Wei Yuan finally smiled: "I probably know what's going on. Then Lian Yu is much more familiar with the current affairs than his father! Since he dared to come to worship Yuecheng in person, it means that he bowed his head to the Wei family."

"Master Lord, this is a handwritten letter from Lian Yu to you." Xiao Yuesheng took out a letter and respectfully delivered it to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan opened it, and after reading it, he handed it to Wei Fangping, and said with a smile: "The letter said similar to what the two elders said. Lian Yu had already told the letter about the Lian family's intention to join the Wei family. Next month he will come to see me and give me a big gift."

"Congratulations to my father, I took down the Lian family without any effort!" Wei Fangping looked happy and said to Wei Yuan.

Wei Zheng also quickly spoke: "Congratulations to the city lord!"

"Haha," Wei Yuan said with a smile, "This time we will still count the credit of the Eighth Elder and the Ninth Elder. Lian Yu said in the letter that it was the two elders who told him the pros and cons, which made him determined to take a step back. The two elders are very eloquent, I would like to greet you!"

"Thank you, Lord City!" Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin said in unison, and then drank a drink with Wei Yuan.

"About Miss Xing'er, please feel sorry for the Eighth Elders. The Eighth Elder is such a hero, so there is no need to worry about not having a confidante." Wei Yuan looked at Xiao Yuesheng and said.

Xiao Yuesheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a woman. When you help the city lord solve the Lian family, please ask the city lord for grace and go back to Xianluo Island to bring Xiaoyu here."

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's right! This Xiaoyu must be the confidante of the Eighth Elder. Miss Xing'er is lucky. When things happen here, the Eighth Elder will go back and bring Miss Xiaoyu to accompany you!"

"Then I thank the city lord first!" Xiao Yuesheng raised his glass and thanked him.

Xiao Yuesheng's performance gave Wei Yuan and his son a feeling that Xiao Yuesheng didn't really care about the girl Xing'er, he just didn't like the woman who was plotted against and forced to come...

Thinking of this, Wei Yuan felt a little regretful that he had listened to Wei Zheng's suggestion and moved Miss Xing'er. Now that he thought about it, he actually did this and instead had some rift with Xiao Yuesheng.

As a result, the next moment, Xiao Yuesheng raised his glass and said to Wei Zheng with a smile: "But then again, if the Great Elder has a young and beautiful granddaughter who wants to give it to me, as long as he is not a widow, I can accept it with a smile."

Wei Zheng's face darkened: "Ouyang Jue! What do you mean?"

Xiao Yuesheng curled his lips slightly: "It's not interesting, I want to ask, Elder Eighth is so eager to let your widow's granddaughter seduce me. What do you mean?"

After Xiao Yuesheng finished speaking, a dark light flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes. He suddenly felt that this matter was a little strange. Wei Zheng has been very low-key, obedient and loyal over the years, but Wei Yuan did not forget that Wei Zheng was actually his uncle. Is Wei Zheng really willing to stay in the bottom of the world? Wei Zheng used the excuse to help Wei Yuan test the loyalty of Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin, and pushed his granddaughter out. Will there be any selfishness in this...

Wei Zheng was already a little guilty. When he heard Xiao Yuesheng's words, he looked angry and slapped the table: "Ouyang Jue! Don't think that the city lord valued you, you are so arrogant!"

"What excites the Great Elder?" Xiao Yuesheng said slowly, "I am arrogant? Where am I arrogant? How dare I be arrogant in front of the Great Elder! The Great Elder is in Baiyue City, with a high position and a respectable position. I am a new elder. Before I gained a foothold, my beauty was pushed into the sea by the Great Elder's granddaughter. The Great Elder also took her to see me in a pretext, saying that she apologized for me, and almost took off her clothes and sent it to my bed. I love beauty, but I am also very picky. Not to mention that Wei Qinfang is too ugly, the Great Elder is so enthusiastic, and I try every means to give me my granddaughter, but I dare not ask for it. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either traitor or thief. Is this a traitor or thief? Should I thank the Great Elder for looking down on me so much and want me to be your old grandson-in-law?"

Xiao Yuesheng didn't mention Wei Yuan at all, and seemed to have seen through Wei Zheng's thoughts. The more he spoke, Wei Zheng's face became more ugly, and Wei Yuan's face also darkened.

"Ouyang Jue! You are turning black and white! You are slandering!" Wei Zheng was so angry that he didn't know what to say, because Xiao Yuesheng's words actually hit his mind, but he could never let Wei Yuan know this.

Wei Fangping snorted and said, "I think what the Eighth Elder said is not groundless. Great Elder, you and the Eighth Elder are elders of the Wei family. What do you want to use your granddaughter to win over the Eighth Elders?"

Wei Zheng was sweating on his forehead, and he knelt down in front of Wei Yuan and Wei Fangping with a thump, and said in a deep voice: "City Lord, young master, don't listen to Ouyang Jue's nonsense! I am loyal to the Wei family and have no other intentions!"

"I am loyal to the Wei family? Not to me, the city lord? Haha! That's natural, because the eldest elder is also surnamed Wei." Wei Yuan sneered, "To put it, I have been wronged for so many years. As a junior, I should apologize to my uncle."

Wei Zheng's expression froze: "Master Lord City! I am loyal to the city lord. I have worked hard for so many years without any contribution. The city lord cannot listen to Ouyang Jue's slander! He just has no good intentions and wants to alienate us!"

Wei Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "Forget it, I think there is some misunderstanding between the Great Elder and the Eighth Elder. The Eighth Elder lost Miss Xing'er, and the Great Elder's granddaughter also paid off. This matter is even. Don't mention it again in the future. Work together to strengthen the Wei family!"

"Don't worry, Lord, we brothers must do our best!" Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin both raised their glasses and said.

Wei Zheng also raised his glass and drank it all in one go: "Thank you, Lord, for understanding me!"

The banquet ended. Wei Yuan was quite satisfied with the matter about Wax City and expressed his affirmation of Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin's ability again.

However, the confrontation between Xiao Yuesheng and Wei Zheng seemed to have subsided, but in fact it left a thorn in Wei Yuan's heart.

"What do you think about the Eighth Elder's conflict with the Great Elder in front of us?" Wei Fangping asked Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan looked inexplicably: "Ouyang Jue is really smart. He dared to treat Wei Qinfang in public today, just slapped the elder in the face. He should have guessed that I was involved in this matter, but he didn't care. He just wanted to take this opportunity to pull the elder down!"

Wei Fangping frowned: "Turn down the Great Elder? What are the benefits for their brothers?"

"I think their brothers want to take this opportunity to climb up again." Wei Yuan said, "Now they are ranked last and pull the Great Elder down, and the other elders cannot compete with them. In the future, their status and identity will be different from that in front of us in the Wei family."

"If this is the case, what will my father do?" Wei Fangping asked.

"Today, he may not be unwilling to listen to the words and deeds of the Great Elder." Wei Yuan said, "But now he is using people.

At that time, there are many descendants of the Great Elder, and it is not the best choice to get rid of him rashly. It is better to keep the status quo. We should keep an eye on the Great Elder's every move, but we should not move him for now, so that the Great Elder and the eight or ninety-two elders will check and balance each other."

"Father is wise!" Wei Fangping nodded and said, "In this case, the elder's original little thoughts might have been put away, because we know that we are suspicious of him and will work harder to show his loyalty in the future. The Eighth and Ninth Elders will spare no effort to serve us if they want to replace the elder!"

"That's exactly that." Wei Yuan nodded.

On the other hand, Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin, who returned to their residence, were discussing what to do next.

"Today, he just took root in Wei Yuan's heart. He would not destroy Wei Zheng just because we said a few words." Xiao Yuesheng said.

"If it's so simple, it's boring." A cold light flashed in Mu Lin's eyes.

Mu Lin got up and took over the bag that Tuobayan hid, which was used to hold Long Yanhua. The bag was very big because there were ten empty jade boxes inside.

"Mu Xiaolin, what are you going to do?" Xiao Yuesheng asked Mu Lin.

"When you took Wei Qinfang to the beach today, I secretly heard about something." Mu Lin said to Long Yanhua, who was like a flame.

"What news?" Xiao Yuesheng asked curiously.

"Wei Zheng's granddaughter-in-law will be born in the next two days. It is said that she will give birth to Wei Zheng's first great-grandson." Mu Lin said.

"Mu Xiaolin, do you want to say that Wei Zheng will take the initiative to speak out and ask Wei Yuan for a Dragon Flame Flower for his great-grandson?" Xiao Yuesheng's eyes lit up.

Mu Lin shook his head: "Actually, I guess that if we hadn't disrupted the situation tonight, Wei Zheng might have found an opportunity to talk to Wei Yuanti tonight. After all, his great-grandson said that he was about to have a child, and it would be best to use Longyan Flower as soon as the child was born."

"In other words, if you didn't mention it today, Wei Zheng will probably go to Wei Yuan tomorrow." Xiao Yuesheng smiled, "Mu Xiaolin, you are very good at inquiring about news! This news is very good for us! No need to bother to think about how to let Wei Yuan know that Long Yan's words were stolen, Wei Zheng will be exposed by himself!"

"Wai Yuan and Wei Zheng will be the first to doubt us," said Mu Lin. "It is possible that they will come here to search, so the trouble is that the younger sister will be revealed, and this Long Yanhua can't hide it."

"I don't want Lang Lang to eat these five flowers now, because he is afraid that he could have eaten seven flowers, but only five of them wasted the best chance for the first time." Xiao Yuesheng said thoughtfully.

"Well, I think so too." Mu Lin nodded, "The key is what should I do if my little sister?"

"Cool." A smiling female voice came from the inner room. Xiao Yuesheng and Mu Lin were both happy and stood up and rushed in. They saw Mu Yan standing up from the ground. Tuobayan stood beside her, and pulled her arm with a smile and said, "Mom, it's great that you're awake!"

"How do you feel now with a younger brother and sister?" Xiao Yuesheng asked Mu Yan with a smile.

Mu Yan shook her head: "Swallowing so many dragon flame flowers at once, I feel that my dantian is about to burst out. I can't practice anymore, so I still have to proceed step by step. During these days of practice, I have absorbed the essence of two dragon flame flowers at most, and take the rest slowly."

Xiao Yuesheng smiled and said, "If this is the case, you shouldn't be able to beat me for the time being!"

"Brother, you know it's temporary. Be kind to me in the future, otherwise you won't have any negotiations to beat you up!" Mu Yan said with a smile.

"You little brother and sister, you are also a little unconscience. You have always been the best for you," said Xiao Yuesheng.

Mu Lin reached out and pushed Xiao Yuesheng aside, looked at Mu Yan and said, "Little sister, you are awake just right, we plan to..."

"I heard something just now." Mu Yan said, "I will take Long Yanhua away from here later and find a place to hide outside. You can continue to harm the Wei family here!"

"My brother and sister are so smart!" Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile.

The next day, as Mu Lin expected, Wei Zheng, who was about to welcome his great-grandson, went to find Wei Yuan again.

"Then I want to congratulate the elder." Wei Yuan smiled, his smile not reaching his eyes.

"I hope the city lord will reward a dragon flame flower. I will take my children and grandchildren in the future to devote my efforts to the city lord and worship Yuecheng, and then die!" Wei Zheng said, kneeling directly on the ground and kowtowed to Wei Yuan, expressing his loyalty.
