Chapter 242: The Story Of Qing Zhu Village
Hearing what the old man said, Mu Yucheng watched the old man’s hostile behavior thoughtfully. Because of the loud voice of the old woman, more and more villagers came with hoes, sickles, and sticks. Not long after, Mu Yucheng was surrounded by villagers who were equipped with all kinds of farm tools.
Just as Mu Yucheng was thinking about how to explain to the villagers that he came here without any malice, a middle-aged man came forward.
The middle-aged man looked at Mu Yucheng for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "I am the village chief of Shi Wu Village. May I ask, why are you asking about Lady Hu?"
Mu Yucheng looked at the village chief and said, "My name is Mu Yucheng. I am the chief disciple of the Tian Jian Sect. I came here to investigate the fox demons."
The village chief thought for a while and asked, "Why do you want to investigate the fox demons?"
"They kidnapped my companions before, and I want to know what they want to do by kidnapping my companions." Mu Yucheng replied calmly.
After speaking, Mu Yucheng observed the expressions of the villagers. He noticed that when he mentioned the fox demons, the villagers looked at him with hostility.
Mu Yucheng thought for a while, and said, "I’m just curious when I heard the old man talk about Lady Hu. From what I heard, this Lady Hu is their benefactor. Because she is kind-hearted, I want to be friends with her."
Although the village chief didn’t believe Mu Yucheng’s words, he couldn’t tell whether Mu Yucheng was lying or not, because Mu Yucheng didn’t have any expression on his face. His voice was too calm, and his eyes looked cold. Of course, what Mu Yucheng said about being friends with Lady Hu just now was a lie.
Since the village chief doesn’t know if My Yucheng is lying or not, the village chief can only smile at Mu Yucheng and say, "So that is the reason."
After the village chief finished speaking, Mu Yucheng just silently looked at him. The village chief coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "Since Young Master Mu wants to be friends with Lady Hu, then I will take you to find her."
Mu Yucheng shook his head and said, "Before that, can the village chief answer one of my questions?"
