Hearing Mu Tianzhi's words, Ye Li touched his nose a little embarrassedly, but then he immediately thought of something and asked, "You just mentioned Di Caiyi, isn't her name Dongfang Caiyi?"
Mu Tianzhi nodded and shook his head, saying: "Her real name is indeed Dongfang Caiyi, and she is the granddaughter of the head of the Dongfang family.
A strange case happened to the Dongfang family, which was famous for its formation. Thousands of people in the entire Dongfang family were slaughtered in one night. The only person who survived was Di Caiyi, also known as Dongfang Caiyi.
The Lord of Emperor City, Di Tianyao, was a sworn brother of Dongfang Caiyi's father. When he led people to rescue the Dongfang family, he found that only Dongfang Caiyi was alive, so he adopted her and raised her as his own daughter, so most people call her Di Caiyi. "
Ye Li was born in a remote small family and knew very little about the things that were passed down among these big families. He had heard some of what Qi Wei said before, and now after listening to Mu Tianzhi's explanation, he said: "Brother Mu, the Dongfang family is also a big family, right? How could it be wiped out overnight? Who is the murderer?"
Mu Tianzhidao: "The Dongfang family is a first-class family. This family is proficient in various ancient formations. In terms of combat effectiveness, with the cooperation of the formations, the Dongfang family is far superior to most first-class families.
However, such a powerful family was wiped out overnight. Naturally, this incident caused an uproar in the world.
Everyone was guessing what force was behind this incident. Apart from the Four Holy Lands, there was no other force that could have wiped out the Dongfang family overnight.
However, the Dongfang family has always had a good relationship with the Four Holy Lands. They themselves have no ambitions and enjoy a high reputation in the martial arts world. The Four Holy Lands have no reason to cause trouble for them.
So this incident became a mystery, and until now no one knows what happened that night, and who massacred the Dongfang family. "
After hearing Mu Tianzhi's explanation, Ye Li finally had a better understanding of Dongfang Caiyi's life experience.
Thinking of the extremely cold expression on Dongfang Caiyi's face, and the pain and sadness she concealed beneath the coldness, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
"Hey, Ye Li, do you know how famous Dongfang Caiyi is in the martial arts world and among the big forces
She is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the eyes of our young generation. If she was not the adopted daughter of Di Tianyao and her personality was as cold as ten thousand years of black ice, the people chasing after her would probably surround the Imperial City.
And you, such a lucky guy, actually saved her and fought with her in your arms without even knowing her identity.
To be honest, if I tell this to others, you will definitely be hunted down by the talented people from various families."
Hearing Mu Tianzhi's words, Ye Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "Brother Mu, what you said is too exaggerated. How could someone chase me to death for such a thing?"
Mu Tianzhi rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "You really don't know how to appreciate the good fortune you have. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. I'll spread this news and see if anyone comes to trouble you.
I bet that in this Imperial City alone, there will be countless people looking for you to duel, and you won’t be able to live a peaceful life for even a day.”
Seeing Mu Tianzhi's certain tone, Ye Li did not dare to try, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, Brother Mu, I don't want to be restless every day because of jealousy.
If the reputation of Oriental girls is really that great, then it's better for you to keep the fact that I hugged her to yourself, so as to avoid causing trouble for me."
As he was speaking, Ye Li noticed that some disciples from the Imperial City seemed to be looking towards them. He quickly suppressed his voice, fearing that someone nearby might hear it.
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the west courtyard on the west side of the city.
After informing the guard at the west courtyard gate of his identity, the guard immediately called a servant and led Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi into the courtyard.
Soon, they arrived in front of a large house where a middle-aged man in a deacon's robe sat.
"Deacon Liu, these two are the new disciples."
The servant reported to the middle-aged man in the room.
The middle-aged man looked up at the two of them, waved his hand to dismiss the servants, and then said to the two of them: "Someone has just delivered a message saying that the two of you have been assigned to our West Courtyard.
I am Liu Yuntian, the deacon in charge of arranging the daily life of the disciples in the West Court. I will first take you to see Elder Mou of the Inner Court, who is the dean of the West Court."
As Liu Yuntian spoke, he stood up and prepared to take Ye Li and the other person out of the house.
Ye Li and the other two hurriedly bowed and greeted Liu Yuntian, then followed him out of the big house and walked towards the other side of the west courtyard.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a relatively quiet bamboo forest behind the west courtyard.
Liu Yuntian stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest and shouted loudly: "Mr. Mou, I am here with two newcomers to report."
The voice spread into the bamboo forest, and a response soon came from inside. A slightly hoarse voice slowly said, "It's Yuntian, come in quickly."
After hearing the response from inside, Liu Yuntian hurriedly took Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi into the bamboo forest.
After crossing a small path, Ye Li and his companion soon saw a small bamboo building. An old man with a beard down to his chest and dressed in gray was standing at the door of the bamboo house, looking at the three people with a smile.
Liu Yuntian seemed to be very respectful to the old man. The moment he saw the old man, the expression on his face became very solemn.
"Mr. Mou!"
Liu Yuntian clasped his fists and bowed to the old man, then turned to Ye Li and the others and said, "This is Dean Mou. Go and say hello to him."
Hearing Liu Yuntian's words, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi hurriedly bowed respectfully to the gray-robed old man and said, "Junior Ye Li (Mu Tianzhi) greets Dean Mou."
Dean Mou looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, come in."
After saying this, he turned and walked into the bamboo building, motioning the three to follow him.
Liu Yuntian brought Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi into the bamboo building, and suddenly an antique room full of quiet charm appeared in front of the three of them.
Dean Mou pointed to the bamboo chair next to him and said, "Yuntian, and the two little guys, you all sit down."
When the three heard his call, they hurriedly sat down on the bamboo chairs nearby.
After Dean Mou sat down, he looked Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi up and down.
After watching for a while, he said, "Yes, you two look energetic, with strong eyes, and you don't seem to be erratic at all. Your character is pretty good.
This time, Qi Wei and his team sent me two good seedlings."
