32、Feeling out

  "The ghost king in the mouths of the people, Baili Yunxiao." Mu Zhen stared tightly at Bai Liuli's eyes, as if wanting to see something from her pupils.

  Her eyes suddenly turned cold and dark like a frozen lake, a hundred miles of cloud and mist.

  She was an existence that everyone in Chongcheng avoided, yet he repeatedly wanted to get entangled with her, what was the reason.

  “Haha……” Bai Luli walked to the chair on Mu Chen's right side, sat down with a smile, and said, “I've only heard of obeying my parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but discussing marriage with the object of affection is unprecedented. King Yun not only invited Mr. Mu, a grown man, to be the matchmaker, but also had him discuss it with me, Bai Luli, the one who wants to get married. King Yun's actions are indeed unconventional.”

  "I've heard that the White family head is a straightforward person, so he shouldn't mind these trivial matters. As long as this marriage can be settled, why bother with the process? What do you think, Master White, does Mu say it right?" Mu Zhen looked at Bai Lian's profile, and saw what seemed to be a hint of mockery in her eyes, and for an instant, he felt a sense of similarity to Bai Yunxiao. The smile that didn't quite reach her eyes seemed to hide a cold intent that others couldn't decipher or dare not look directly at.

  "Matchmaker's words, isn't Mu certain right here? As for the parents' orders..." Bai Liuli's words suddenly sparked Mu Zhen's interest in marrying her. He glanced at Old White who was smiling happily and continued, "Mu thinks that Old Master Bai must have given his wholehearted approval. If not, when Mu mentioned this matter to him outside the mansion earlier, he wouldn't have smiled and invited Mu into the mansion with such a happy expression. What do you think, Master Bai?"

  As expected, the colder the face of the old white man was, the more he liked this marriage, and he must have agreed to it.

  Bai Luli also took a glance at the still smiling and studying two large boxes of tea leaves, Old White Yue. Her cool eyes softened slightly as they swept across White Yue's aged face before she asked indifferently: "So according to Master Mu's words, shouldn't whether or not to agree to this marriage be decided by myself?"

  Mu Ze only smiled and didn't speak, while Bai Liu Li gently stroked her cheek wrapped in gauze. "Then please tell me, Young Master Mu, what did the King of Clouds see in me?"

  "Nature is what Bai Jia's master had in mind for his Xi Shi appearance." Mu Ze said calmly, without a hint of embarrassment.

  "Xishi? Ha……” Bai Liuli laughed as if she had heard the most hilarious joke, completely disregarding the cold intent that flashed in Mu Ze's eyes. "So, in the eyes of the Cloud King, Xishi is someone like me? Then what about my sister, who is even more beautiful?"

  "It's said that Yun Wangye's eyes can kill people, and Bai was so afraid of death that she didn't want to dig her own grave. Even if she never believed in such nonsense, even if he had shown her kindness before, unfortunately, she had never thought of finding a man, because she didn't need one."

  "So the White Family Head means to say—" Mu Ze intentionally cut off his words, his calm demeanor showing not a hint of surprise, as if he had expected Bai Lianlian to say so all along.

  "Bai's appearance and current status are both beyond the reach of Yun Wang Fu, so Master Mu can withdraw his invitation."

  "Isn't Yun Wang also a leftover, wouldn't he be just right for the White family's master? Mu Ze seems to have not given up on matchmaking, "As long as you two don't dislike each other, isn't that enough? Yun Wang has said that he won't marry anyone but the White family's master, can the White family's master bear to let him spend his life alone?"

  "Why did King Cloud refuse to marry Miss Bai?"

  "Didn't Mu just say that the master of the Bai family is the Xishi in the heart of King Yun, and also... "Mu Ze deliberately paused before continuing, "The master of the Bai family is a special existence to King Yun."

  What's so special about her that can make the emotionless icy-faced man see colors he has never seen before, yet he still sees her as wearing all black just like him? How is he supposed to see any unusual colors on her?

  "Then please ask Mu Da Shao Ye and Bai Mou, where does Yun Wang think Bai Mou is special? Can't Bai Mou change?" White Liu Li suddenly smiled brightly, as if her mood had suddenly improved greatly, with an attitude that was completely different from what she said.

  For Bai Liuli's blunt refusal, the people around were shocked and frightened. The matchmaker was the future master of the Mu family, and this face was not ordinary, let alone the person who entrusted the matchmaker was the mysterious and high-ranking Gui Wangye. They feared that if Bai Liuli said something wrong, she would offend these two great Buddhas, and then give the declining White family a devastating blow.

  At the moment when everyone was nervous, Bai Luli smiled brightly again at an inopportune time, scaring everyone into a cold sweat on their backs, and they all sighed that these two days were spent with bated breath, even more uneasy than before the eldest miss's accident.

  Mu gazed at Bai Liuli, unable to guess why she suddenly smiled, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Afterwards, he revealed a regretful expression and sighed: "It seems the master of the White family doesn't intend to accept this marriage proposal, Mu has understood."

  "Then you can go and explain the meaning of the Bai family's master to King Yun." Mu Ze said, standing up leisurely.

  "Please go ahead, Master Nanmu. I won't see you off." Bai Liuli also stood up, making a symbolic gesture of politeness.

  Mu Ze smiled and nodded, walking towards the outer hall. As he passed by Bai Liuli's side, he paused for a moment and said in a low voice with a deep smile: "I heard that Yu Cao is the most effective medicine in the world to treat sword wounds, it's hard to come by, coincidentally Yun Wang Fu has one, I wonder if the White family master is interested?"

  Bai Luli's expression didn't change, Mu Ze finished speaking and left with a smile, raising his hand to wave the folding fan in it, "No need to see me off, Mu knows the way."

  Lao Baiyue, who had been infatuated with Xiang Cha all along, only saw Mu Zhuo leave now. He was so excited that he almost rushed over to stop him, but just as he was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Bai Liuli's outstretched hand. Lao Baiyue didn't say another word and slapped Bai Liuli on the head with a loud "pa", shouting: "You little scoundrel! Did you chase away the matchmaker while I wasn't paying attention?! After all these years, it's hard to find a girl willing to marry you! Do you want to cut off the White family's descendants and kill me with anger?! You go catch up with the matchmaker for me right now!"

  The old white rage voice was deafening, the slap on Bai Lius head seemed heavy, but in fact it was light and didn't hurt, Bai Liu's heart felt warm, her smile was gentle, she raised her hand to grasp Old White's wrist, her voice calm and reassuring, "Old White, he'll come back again, don't worry."

  No matter what Bai Lian's intentions were in wanting to marry her, as long as he really wanted to marry her, Mu Zhen would inevitably set foot in the White House again.

  Before understanding the other's intention, she wouldn't act rashly. The reason she bluntly rejected this marriage proposal was to see how much he wanted to marry her. If Mu Ze would repeatedly come to the White Manor to propose after being rejected multiple times by her, then perhaps she might consider marrying into the Yun Wang Manor, because that would prove that Baili Yunfei wants to gain something from her or use her for a certain purpose.

  As it happens, she also has her own purpose, a purpose worth marrying into the Yun Wang Fu for.
