Insufficient balance

  Mo Sheng didn't rush back, but instead went to look for Wen Hao. Through the housekeeper, he learned that Wen Hao was in the study room. Mo Sheng thought to himself "This kid is probably reading books", and quickly headed towards the study room.

  Arriving at the study, I saw Wen Hao sitting there, holding Wu Kai's "History of the Yellow Dynasty" in his hand.

  The Huang Dynasty was a dynasty before the Wū Dynasty, existing for 240 years, and was finally overthrown by the peasant army led by ōu Yang Tiān, the founding emperor of the Wū Dynasty.

  Wen Hao was reading a history book, and Mu Sheng said: "Wen Hao is quite good! When did you start reading history books?"

  Wen Hao turned his head and saw that it was Mu Sheng, so he said: "It's Big Brother Mu who has arrived! I just started reading a few days ago, after all, in the future when entering officialdom, these may be useful."

  Musheng nodded and said: "It's good that you think so, but the officialdom is not so easy to mix with. From now on, think thrice before acting."

  "Thanks for reminding me, Big Brother Mu," Wen Hao asked, "what are you preparing to do now?"

  "I had nothing to do, so I came to see you."

  "Brother Mo, how about we go out and have some fun? It's really boring staying at home." Wen Hao suggested.

  "Me too," said Mu Sheng.

  The two of them hit it off immediately and walked out of the Zhao residence shoulder to shoulder.

  The moment the two men left the Zhao residence, Xiaodie hastily ran into the eldest young lady's chambers and said: "Miss, Mr. Mu and Young Master have gone out."

  "I know, Little Butterfly, you get someone to prepare the gifts, and we'll go visit Shuoyan's place." The young mistress said with a hint of a smile.

  "Alright, miss," said Little Butterfly and then went off to attend to her duties.

  As they walked along the road, Mu Sheng asked: "Wen Hao, which place in Hunyuan City has the most timely information?"

  "Wen Hao thought for a moment and said: 'If you want to talk about being informed, it's got to be the Ted Tea House.'"

  "Then we'll go to Teddy's teahouse," said Mu Sheng. Although Wen Hao didn't know why Mu Sheng wanted to go to Teddy's teahouse, he believed that Mu Sheng must have his reasons, and this Mu brother had always been very mysterious.

  Two men walked all the way to Taidi Teahouse, sat down at a table by the window on the second floor, ordered a bowl of garlic beans and a pot of tea, eating garlic beans while drinking tea. Mu Sheng drank a cup of tea and said to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, today we should just be guests, sitting quietly here listening to others talk is enough, don't do anything else."

  "Wen Hao curiously asked: 'Brother Mu, what's the purpose of doing this?'"

  Musheng said slowly: "Let's see if we can hear something related to Qingzhou Mansion last time." Wen Hao also felt relieved when he heard Musheng's words.

  At the same time, various messages were also circulating in the tea house. A guest said: "Do you know that recently, the snack shop of Duan's family in Qingzhou Prefecture has launched a new product? Now Duan's family is well-known throughout Qingzhou Prefecture, and it is said that Miss Duan is in charge of the business."

  Another tea customer said: "You know, it's almost time for Wú Xiāng Zōng to recruit new disciples. I heard that this year Wú Xiāng Zōng is going to expand its recruitment."

  Another tea customer said: "You may not know yet! It is said that Young Master Wang may come to the five provinces of Jiangnan."

  All sorts of information were pouring in, but at this time the tea guests were shocked by someone who came in from the door. Mu Sheng was also curious and looked towards the door, only to see a purple-clothed woman running in. However, the woman wore a veil, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. She ran in and immediately looked up at the second floor, then walked straight towards Mu Sheng. When she arrived in front of him, she said, "Young master, save me." After that, she fainted and fell into Mu Sheng's arms.

  Musheng felt inexplicable, and this woman was indeed something, specifically finding herself. After the purple-clothed woman fainted, five men in green clothes rushed in from outside, their sleeves embroidered with a crescent moon, and upon seeing this symbol, some tea guests exclaimed: "They are from the Wuxiang Sect!"

  Five people walked into the teahouse, and the leader said: "Those who want to live quickly roll away." As a result, only Wen Hao, Mu Sheng, and the purple-clothed woman in Mu Sheng's arms were left in the teahouse.

  Five men in green clothes fixed their eyes on Muzhen, and the leader said: "Leave the girl in your arms, leave immediately, otherwise..."

  Mo Sheng didn't bother with them, and simply handed over the woman in his arms to Wen Hao's support. Then he said to the people below, "You'd better all come up together!"

  The leader was almost stunned, and his heart thought "This kid is crazy enough, but let's see if he has the capital to be crazy." With a wave of his hand, the five of them charged at Musheng together.

  Mo Sheng flew down and slapped out a palm. As a result, one of them spat out blood from their mouth and fainted, it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

  Flying downwards, Mu Sheng put his hands behind his back and gazed calmly at the four people in front of him. Ever since he practiced the "Mantra of Buddha's Heart", Mu Sheng felt that his heart had become much calmer. "It seems that the Buddhist techniques really have a great impact on people!" Mu Sheng thought to himself.

  The four people opposite did not move, apparently having second thoughts, after all, no one wanted to die.

  Mo Sheng saw that they were all motionless, and thought to himself, "It seems I have to take the initiative to attack, otherwise time will pass, and there may be changes."

  Then, Mu Sheng waved his palm to attack the opponent. The opponent saw Mu Sheng's move and could only defend himself. However, they seemed to be struggling, and after a few rounds, they all fell down. Mu Sheng's palm strength was well-controlled, and he did not hurt their lives, but only beat them into serious injuries.

  When he returned to Wen Hao's side, the woman in purple had already woken up. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, opened the stopper, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out, which Mu Sheng also smelled and thought "This medicine must be very expensive".

  The woman in purple poured out a grain and ate it, then walked towards Mu Sheng and said: "Today, thanks to the young master's help, this kindness will be repaid another day. I hope the young master will keep this jade pendant well, and when he arrives at Tian Du, it may be of some use to him." After finishing speaking, she flew out of the door without waiting for Mu Sheng's reaction, disappearing from sight.

  Mu Sheng gazed at the jade pendant in his hand, its pure white color without any impurities. Although Mu Sheng didn't know how to appraise the value of jade, his intuition told him that this jade should be very valuable. On the back of the jade was engraved a character "Yan", presumably one of the characters in the name of the purple-robed woman. She had said "When you reach Tian Du, this jade will be helpful to you", it seemed that this woman's background was not simple.

  Musheng put the jade into her bosom, now it's just unknown why the Wu Xiang Zong people want to kill her, thinking that this is not something that can be figured out in a short time, and this place is not suitable for staying for long, so she grabbed Wen Hao and flew towards the outside of the door.

  On the way back, Wen Hao couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mu Da Ge, did you know that purple-clothed woman today?"

  "I don't know, I'm still confused until now."

  Musheng thought about it today and felt that there were still some gains. Unexpectedly, the Wu Xiang Sect expanded its recruitment this year, what does this portend? That young master Ouyang Ming is also coming, probably not simple either. I heard that Young Master Ouyang Ming has a good reputation among the people, all of which are questionable, and for now, I don't understand myself.

  Wen Hao didn't say much at this time either, seeing that Mu Sheng was deep in thought with his head down, he also fell silent. Thinking that Big Brother Mu had gone to gather information because of the Qingzhou government's affairs last time, it seemed that everything he did was for the Zhao family. Wen Hao suddenly felt that he should also share some of the family's worries and troubles now. For so many years, it had all been borne by his sister alone, and somehow, Wen Hao felt very useless. He must work hard when he gets back, he can't disappoint his sister's expectations.

  After entering the Zhao's house, Mu Sheng went home directly, while Wen Hao went to study hard.

  Musheng returned home, dinner was already ready, after eating and helping Xiangling clean up the dishes, he finished everything, then took a bath, and came to the room with Xiangling. Musheng saw that there were many more gift boxes in the room, and couldn't help but ask: "Linger, who sent these gift boxes?"

  "These things were all brought by Big Sister today." Xiang Ling said as she sat in front of her dresser and took down her hair clip.

  "Oh, it was sent by the young lady, did she say anything?" Mu Sheng asked with some confusion.

  "That's all, she just chatted with me and left. But she said you're a pretty good person, hehe." Xiang Ling said with a mischievous smile.

  Musheng was somewhat puzzled by the big sister's intention, but it should be harmless. "Women's thoughts are really unpredictable!" Musheng thought with a sigh.

  Two people lay on the bed, and Mu Sheng handed the jade pendant left by the purple-clothed woman today to Xiang Ling and said: "Ling'er, what do you think of the quality of this jade?"

  Xiang Ling took over the jade pendant, looked at it for a while and exclaimed: "Husband, this is a piece of jade core, this is a priceless treasure!"

  Musheng did not expect this jade to be so valuable, which exceeded his own imagination. So he told Xiangling about today's events.

  Xiang Ling listened and said: "Seeing this woman must be either rich or noble, sir, did you see what she looked like?"

  "That's not it, the woman is wearing a veil."

  "Master, how did you learn martial arts?" Xiang Ling asked in puzzlement.

  Musheng then repeated what he had said to Er Xian earlier. "I didn't expect Master to have such an extraordinary encounter," Xiang Ling said with some envy.

  "Ha ha, don't be jealous anymore, let your husband make it up to you," said Mu Sheng with a few chuckles, and then kissed Xiang Ling's fragrant lips.

  Xiang Ling was no longer reserved at this time, and she also responded enthusiastically. As they were both young, the two of them soon lost control, and it wasn't until very late that they finally fell asleep.
