Chapter 227
On the city wall, the girl in plain white robes looked at Li Muyang with eager anticipation, as if she couldn’t wait for him to become the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect right then and there.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, was speechless.
“Who said I’m going to marry your sister...”
This was utterly absurd.
Both Li Muyang and Shen Yan, the parties involved, had not expected the family banquet to have this purpose.
Otherwise, Shen Yan wouldn’t have been so uncomfortable in the latter half of the event.
It was Li Muyang’s first time seeing Shen Yan, who always seemed to have everything under control and was a master strategist, show such an embarrassed and awkward demeanor.
Like Li Muyang, she probably thought the banquet was Fang Yingtian’s way of showing favor and winning people over.
But no one expected the situation to take such a strange turn...
Li Muyang shook his head in denial and casually wrote on the ground, “It’s impossible between your sister and me.”
“One’s AM, the other’s FM; we’re on completely different frequencies, how could it be possible?”
He was about to return to the Demon Refining Sect soon, and the situation in the Blood Lotus Sect was becoming more and more complicated.
Li Muyang felt that the time was ripe to ask Shen Yan for some tasks to do.
As long as he had tasks, he could leave Tianjiao City openly and legitimately.
This evil cult was visibly doomed.
Although the Blood Lotus Sect had successfully risen up this time, taking over a vast territory of 1,500 li around Tianjiao City and winning the hearts of nearly a million believers, Li Muyang saw that the sect’s ship was destined not to sail far and would eventually capsize in the torrents of the era.
He didn’t want to tie himself to the sinking ship of the Blood Lotus Sect just for Shen Yan, with whom he had no emotional foundation.@@@@
The role of the Blood Lotus Sect leader, an enemy of the entire world, was too thrilling for Li Muyang.
He gave Shen Miao a few perfunctory responses and then controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis to turn around and leave, heading back into the fog to continue leveling up, ignoring the girl’s questions behind him.
“What’s AM, what’s FM?”
“Brother-in-law! What do you mean by ‘different frequencies’?”
“Brother-in-law! Explain it to me!”
The girl’s coquettish voice came through, but the Emerald Blade Mantis in the fog seemed not to hear and ran even faster.
......
The next day, Li Muyang found Shen Yan and expressed his desire to find some tasks to do, not wanting to stay cooped up in the yard taking baths every day. ŔÅ₦∅βЁṦ
Li Muyang, armed with his appointment letter, found Ruan Mei and soon arrived at the yamen that had just put up the “Hall of Enforcement” signboard.
Among the four Banner Masters of Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, Li Muyang didn’t recognize the other three.
He was also unfamiliar with the followers and subordinates of the Hall of Enforcement.
However, their gazes towards Li Muyang were filled with curiosity.
After all, within the Blood Lotus Sect, Martial God Tyrant Body Li Muyang had already become somewhat of a minor celebrity.
The work that followed was somewhat complicated.
Li Muyang suddenly became busy as the newly established Hall of Enforcement was overwhelmed with countless intricate affairs.
Li Muyang, who had originally planned to find an opportunity to slip away quietly, was suddenly tied down by Ruan Mei, who forbade him from running off.
While the other three Banner Masters could leave Tianjiao City for official duties, only Li Muyang was required to stay in Tianjiao City at all times.
Not only did he not find a chance to escape, but even his daytime gaming time was occupied, leaving him to play alone under the covers at night.
Amidst Li Muyang’s busyness, he also heard rumors spreading throughout Tianjiao City, becoming more and more widespread.
There were whispers that he had no real abilities and that it was only due to the young lady Shen Yan’s secret favor that he had ascended to the position of Banner Master and so on.
Various sensational rumors spread, becoming more detailed by the day, even to the point where there were claims that Li Muyang and Shen Yan were secretly engaged and would soon be married...
At the center of the whirlpool, Li Muyang felt somewhat exhausted. But he was too lazy to bother with these trivial rumors.
He had a good guess about who was spreading these slanders against him, but it didn’t matter.
After all, Li Muyang had already made up his mind to leave.
Once the initial busy period of the Hall of Enforcement’s establishment was over and he had satisfied Ruan Mei, Li Muyang could use the excuse of dodging rumors to leave Tianjiao City and find refuge elsewhere.
By then, the city’s rumors would have nothing to do with him.
Li Muyang had a clear plan in mind, even preparing several schemes for how to escape back to the Demonic Sect after leaving Tianjiao City.
However, these plans were soon disrupted by an unexpected incident.
......
As dusk fell, Li Muyang, sitting alone in a private room of a tavern, stretched lazily and saw a maid respectfully entering with a tray of dishes.
Yet this unfamiliar-faced maid, upon approaching Li Muyang, used a voice he knew all too well—the giggling voice of his little sister Li Yuechan.
“Brother, I heard you’re getting married...”
“Is it true?”
