I'm useless, but my apprentices are all gods who protect others.

After Meng Mu got her life back on track, she once thought of going to Bianzhou to find Chonglan.

In fact, he did go, but the Chong family was heavily guarded and there were too many restrictions, so he couldn't sneak in. He only squatted at the door for several days before he saw Chong Lan getting into the carriage surrounded by servants.

Chonglan was ten years old at the time, and it had been three years and forty-two days since he left Mirage City.

Meng Mu looked at him from afar and saw that he was dressed in fine clothes. If a small gadget fell off his hand, a maid would pick it up for him. He didn't even have to lower his head, and the things would be returned to his hands.

I haven’t seen him for a few years, but he is a young master now.

Meng Mu teased in his heart.

But I don’t know why I feel a little lost.

She was obviously crying not to separate from him before.

Meng Mu stared at Chonglan for a long time, but she was happy for Chonglan from the bottom of her heart.

At least you don't have to worry about food and clothing because you follow him. Returning to Chong's family will not only lead a comfortable life, but also provide you with access to better schools. When you grow up, you will definitely be a leader among people.

To this day, Meng Mu has no complaints about Chonglan's departure, except for complaining that Chonglan never came back to look for him.

When he learned that Chonglan was the new city lord, Meng Mu knew that friction was inevitable.

Their current stances are indeed different, but it doesn't mean that this will erase the friendship they once had.

Even if Chong Lan is really his enemy, in his impression he is just a child who likes to hold his legs and act like a baby.

Chonglan appeared when he was about to die. On the surface, it was Meng Mu who saved Chonglan, but to Meng Mu at that time, Chonglan was nothing more than living water injected into a pool of stagnant water.

There was a time when they depended on each other.

That is a life-long friendship.

Meng Mu was stunned. Faced with Zhonglan's unfamiliar expression, he didn't know how to control his expression for a moment. He just looked at Zhonglan, a little at a loss as to what to do: "Don't you remember me?"

Chonglan looked at the orcs in front of him and felt confused. He silently crushed the talisman with his hand hidden in his sleeve. This was a signal that guards would arrive soon.

But it seemed that the man had black hair and golden eyes, and Zhonglan had another thought in his mind.

Golden eyes... This is the unique eye color of Meng Ji beast, and there is only one Meng Ji left in this world.

Meng Mu.

That is the target he wants to destroy this time.

He promised his father that he would take his head and return to his hometown within a year.

"You kid really don't remember. I took you with me when you were so tall." Meng Mu tried to explain, gesturing with his hands, but when he met his cold gaze, it seemed like ice water was pouring down on his head, but instead Let him calm down.

What went wrong?

Meng Mu asked himself this.

He really doesn't remember?

Then Meng Mu took out a straw cricket and said, "Look, you learned this from Sister Chengyin. You failed several times before you made this one, so you gave it to me."

The crickets have long since dried and changed color due to their age, but their heads and tails are still extremely well preserved.

Zhonglan frowned subconsciously, and was about to say how could he play such a boring thing, but when Zhonglan met Meng Mu's eyes, his mind changed and he came up with a plan.

In Chonglan's impression, he really didn't remember having any interactions with Meng Mu.

But looking at Meng Mu's attitude, it was clear that Meng Mu not only knew him, but also valued him.

Meng Mu probably recognized the wrong person and mistook him for someone else.

This means that it can be used.

Chonglan made a decision and stared at the straw cricket for a long time, with a confused look on his face as if he remembered something, and then suddenly realized: "You, are you Brother Meng Mu?"

Meng Mu was stunned and relieved: "Do you remember? You were abducted by human traffickers and brought to Mirage City before, but I rescued you..."

Chonglan became happy: "Of course I remember! Not only you, but Sister Chengyin was also very kind to me!"

Chonglan learned that Chengyin was a person from what Meng Mu had just said about Chengyin teaching him how to weave crickets. After organizing it, he said something that seemed familiar but was actually ambiguous.

Meng Mu observed his expression and sighed. He moved closer to Chonglan. Just when Zhonglan was on guard, Meng Mu suddenly put his arms around Chonglan's shoulders affectionately. Meng Mu: "Let me just say, how can we forget the life-saving grace so easily!"

Meng Mu smiled heartily: "It has been thirteen years, this is my first time back to Mirage City. Do you still remember the two brothers Zhong Yueling and Zhong Yueli? Come on, I will take you to meet them and reminisce about old times. After you leave, they can I miss you so much, and I’ll still think of you from time to time!”

Chonglan felt sick when Meng Mu pulled him away like this. He didn't know Zhong Yueling and Zhong Yueli at all, but he still followed Meng Mu over the wall and left the city lord's mansion.

The guards that Chonglan had previously recruited quietly followed him at his hint, so that they could help at the critical moment.

……

After Sheng Yi collected the spiritual liquid, he went to find Meng Mu. Zhu Lao San said that he disappeared after they reported the situation of the new city lord to Meng Mu, and Sheng Yi guessed where Meng Mu had gone.

Sheng Yi thought for a moment and asked Qinghong to pay more attention to what was going on at the City Lord's Mansion, and then read a book while waiting for Meng Mu to come back.

"Come on, big guys, Chonglan is back!"

Suddenly hearing the noise outside the window, Sheng Yi went out immediately and saw Meng Muhe standing in the courtyard with a raw face. The two brothers Zhong Yueling and Chu Qiongxin also went out, and their eyes widened when they saw Chonglan.

Chonglan had a polite smile on his face and said, "Long time no see, brothers and sisters."

Shengyi looked at Zhonglan and just nodded lightly in front of his greeting.

The appearance can still see the shadow of the past, but both the personality and temperament are far from the original Chonglan.

Especially when Chonglan saw the cat ears on her head and his eyes instinctively overflowed with disgust, Sheng Yi knew that something was gone forever.

The foursome always share any new information immediately, so naturally they know that Chong Lan is the current city lord. At present, the relationship between the demon race and the beast race and the human race in the city is becoming increasingly tense. With Chong Lan's status here, it is difficult for people not to care.

Zhong Yueling glanced at her brother, and Zhong Yueli greeted him with a smile: "We haven't seen him for many years, but he has grown so tall."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not so tense, Zhong Yueling relaxed and said, "Wow, I was only as tall as my thighs back then, and now you are almost as tall as me! I heard that you are now the city lord and you are very prosperous..."

When the "city lord" was mentioned, everyone present was stunned. Chu Qiong's heart beat at Zhong Yueling: "Which pot will not be opened?"

Chu Qiongxin had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly woken up. She leaned lazily on Shenyi and looked at Zhonglan: "Yes, it seems that your parents are very good to you. It's just that after so many years of coming to see us, they are a bit heartless. "

Chonglan thought that these were all monsters, but he still smiled and said: "I also want to come back, but Mirage City and Bianzhou are thousands of miles apart. My parents are not worried about my traveling far away, so they put it aside after coming and going, but I really want to Everyone, if you have time, be sure to come to the City Lord’s Mansion to talk, I will arrange a banquet to entertain you.”

Meng Mu rubbed Chonglan's head: "You have grown up after all, and you have to use polite words one after another."

Meng Mu proposed to take Zhonglan back to the alley where he lived before. Seeing that Zhong Yueli had to settle accounts and Zhong Yueling had to prepare cakes for tomorrow, Chu Qiongxin looked sick, so she went with Shengyi.

"Do you still remember this line? You have been clamoring all day long to be taller than me, and every once in a while you ask me to help you measure your height." As soon as he entered the door, Meng Mu pointed to the black line painted on the door.

"Look at that wooden horse. Sister Ayin made it specially for you. You like to ride it when you have nothing to do."

Meng Mula Zhonglan walked around her former home, but there was always something she couldn't finish talking about.

Sheng Yi watched from the side, sometimes agreeing, but also slowly seeing the clues.

Chong Lan seemed to be listening to Meng Mu's words, but he was actually distracted.

And he always followed Meng Mu's words and had his own ideas.

"Okay, it's getting late, why don't we stop here today." Chonglan said after coming out of the old house.

Chonglan wanted to use Meng Mu's relationship to go to Zhaotiantang to have a look, but this was too blatant and too hasty, which would arouse suspicion, so he simply gave up.

Meng Mu did not hold back: "In that case, you can take this straw cricket back home. Your parents were too hasty and left it behind when they took you away. I remember that you liked it very much, so I will give it back to you now."

Chong Lan accepted it happily and said goodbye to the two of them: "Brother Meng Mu, Sister Qiong Xin, I'll leave first and we'll meet again when we have time."

Sheng Yi wanted to say that he called him by the wrong name, but even though Meng Mu heard that Chonglan called him by the wrong name, he had no reaction.

After Chong Lan left, Meng Mu followed his departure, and sure enough, he saw a trampled grass cricket in an inconspicuous place.

As if knowing what Shenyi wanted to ask, Meng Mu lowered his eyes and held the broken cricket in his hand: "Chonglan forgot."

Forgot the friendship they had.

I also forgot who he was.
