War God Returns

Mu's Mansion, inside the dining hall.    

Mu Yunfeng stood straight and raised his glass with both hands. He said solemnly to Shen Ze, "Young Master Shen, let me toast to you. Thank you for avenging my big brother and giving the Zhou, Qian, Sun, and Li families the punishment they deserve."    

"Ze, Aunt Yun also needs to thank you. Aunt Yun also wishes to toast to you!"    

Yun Lan said. She got up from her seat and raised her glass.    

"Mr Ze, I also want to thank you!"    

Mu Ling also stood up and raised her glass towards Shen Ze.    

Shen Ze, who was sitting in his seat, also stood up and raised his glass.    

Shen Ze looked at Mu Ling and the other two and said, "This is what I willingly and naturally did for Uncle Mu. You guys don't need to thank me."    

"The Mu family will not be able to repay Young Master Shen's great kindness. Of course, we have to respect this wine."    

"I'll do it first. Young Master Shen, do as you wish."    

After saying that, Mu Yunfeng raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.    

"Ze, I'll do it too."    

"Mr Ze, I'll do it too."    

Yun Lan and Mu Ling also drank the wine in their cups.    

Shen Ze did not waste time and drank the whole cup of wine.    

"Sit down and eat!"    

After drinking the wine, everyone returned to their seats and began to eat under Shen Ze's instructions.    

Everyone had developed the habit of not saying a word to eat, so they all ate in silence.    

After the meal, Mu Yunfeng said to Shen Ze with some worry, "Young Master Shen, you killed Wu Xuan today and have a conflict with Wang Meng. I'm afraid that both Martial Alliance and Wang Tianyuan will come and find trouble with you. Do you want to stay out of the limelight for the time being?"    

Shen Ze was not worried at all. He shook his head and said indifferently, "No need. I can handle it."    

Although Mu Yunfeng saw Shen Ze's confident and unworried look, he was still worried.    

After all, the Martial Association was the biggest civilian organization in Dragon Country. It was a very powerful organization.    

Wang Tianyuan was the commander of the Qilin Army in Central War Zone. He held a large number of soldiers and held a high position. He was an out-and-out national boss.    

How could the Martial Alliance and Wang Tianyuan come looking for trouble together?    

Mu Yunfeng couldn't think of a way to deal with Shen Ze, so he was very worried.    

But since Shen Ze had said so, he could not say anything else. He could only nod his head.    

Perhaps because he saw Mu Yunfeng's worry, Shen Ze tried to comfort him. "Second Master Mu, since I said I could handle it, I naturally have confidence. You don't have to worry."    

Hearing Shen Ze's words, Mu Yunfeng's expression relaxed a little. He immediately nodded and replied with a good word.    

Shen Ze then said, "For the time being, Second Master Mu will only take care of the matters of the Mu family. Leave the other matters to me."    

"Alright." Mu Yunfeng nodded again.    

After that, Shen Ze talked to Mu Yunfeng about the Mu's Chamber of Commerce and Mu Yunbinn's funeral. Then, everyone dispersed.    

Mu Ling immediately pulled Shen Ze to the back garden.    

"Mr Ze, how many secrets do you still have that you haven't told me?"    

"First is the master of the Silver Dragon Eagle, then the third star general, and now the Martial Tao Grandmaster."    

"Tell me honestly, do you have any other secrets?"    

Mu Ling pulled Shen Ze to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down. Then she said these words all at once.    

Shen Ze looked at Mu Ling's pair of black gemstone eyes and stared at him without blinking. It was as if he wanted to completely see through him. He could not help smiling and said, "You know almost all of my secrets."    

Mu Ling stared at Shen Ze, as if she had discovered something. She said resolutely, "No, I don't know the biggest secret in your body!"    

Shen Ze heard her and said quietly, "What's the biggest secret?"    

Mu Ling stared into Shen Ze's eyes and asked word by word, "Mr Ze. Are you Shen Diaoloong?"    

Shen Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard that. Did this little girl guess that he was Shen Diaoloong?    

Seeing that Shen Ze did not immediately deny it, Mu Ling said with certainty, "You are indeed Shen Diaoloong!"    

Since Mu Ling had already guessed it, Shen Ze naturally would not hide it. He openly admitted, " Yes, I am Shen Diaoloong."    

Although she had already guessed that Shen Ze might be Shen Diaoloong, hearing Shen Ze admit it personally, Mu Ling's heart still stirred up huge waves and could not calm down for a long time.    

Shen Diaoloong was a legendary figure that everyone in the Dragon Country knew about.    

He was a man of both civil and military skills and was invincible. In just four years, he had grown from a nobody to the number one general in the world.    

He had participated in hundreds of battles of different sizes and had never lost. He had made great contributions, especially during the Battle of Fixed Cauldron in Dragon Country. He had turned the tide and made unparalleled contributions.    

He was both the sharp blade of the nation and the divine needle of Fixing the Nation.    

He was young, not even thirty years old, but his martial arts strength had already reached the level of a Grandmaster. He was the one that the Ministry of War of Dragon Country could fight the most.    

He was the leader of the Ministry of War. He was the Dragon God worshipped by countless children. He was the national hero respected by the people of Dragon Country.    

Such a legendary figure with an illustrious status was actually Mr Ze, who had grown up together with Mu Ling. How could Mu Ling not feel excited?    

When Shen Ze saw that Mu Ling knew that he was Shen Diaoloong and had obviously entered a state of shock, he did not say anything but quietly waited for Mu Ling to digest it herself.    

Mu Ling came from a wealthy family and had seen a lot of the world. So not long after, her mood returned to normal.    

Mu Ling let out a long breath and then looked at the smiling young man with a complicated look in her eyes. She sighed with emotion, "Mr Ze threw away his identity as a disciple of the Shen family in Yan Jing. In just four years, he became the leader of Ministry of War from a nobody and became the brightest star in this era. He will leave his name in history in the future."    

"I feel that Mr Ze is really like a god. 'Not an ordinary man.'    

Shen Ze was amused by Mu Ling's words. "Ling, you are exaggerating. I am just an ordinary person and not a god. Don't think so highly of me."    

Mu Ling shook her head and said softly, "I did not exaggerate. I think that you are more powerful than I imagined."    

Looking at the little girl who firmly believed her words, Shen Ze didn't know what to say.    

After half a day of thinking, Shen Ze finally said, "Ling, I hope you will always treat me as Shen Ze. Don't treat me as Shen Diaoloong."    

Mu Ling asked doubtfully, "Why?"    

Shen Ze answered seriously, "I prefer being Shen Ze. I don't like being Shen Diaoloong."    

Mu Ling heard him and said thoughtfully, "Mr Ze means you want to be an ordinary person and not a legendary person like God?"    

Shen Ze nodded. "That's roughly what he means."    

Mu Ling asked again, "Mr Ze, why do you think so?"    

Shen Ze thought for a moment and smiled. "Maybe it's because it's too tiring to be a legend. It's easier to be an ordinary person."    

Shen Ze was smiling when he said this. However, there was a trace of fatigue and vicissitude in his eyes.    

Although Mu Ling appeared to be carefree on the surface, she was actually meticulous and meticulous.    

At this moment, she could clearly see the fatigue and fatigue of the latter's mental and physical strength from Shen Ze's subtle expression.    

Although he had the power to rule the country and was respected and worshipped by the people, he still carried the heavy burden of protecting the people. One could imagine how much pressure he had to bear.    

Thinking of this, Mu Ling's heart ached for Shen Ze for a moment.    

She imitated how adults cared about their children. She reached out her white and tender little hand and gently patted Shen Ze's head, "Mr Ze, you have worked hard."
