At this point, Xu Mu was burning with rage.
From the fragmented memories of the two elders, he had learned their identities. The elder in the green robe was the elder of the Chi family, and the elder in the yellow robe was the patriarch of the Lu family.
Chi Feiyan had known them for a long time.
It was not that these two targeted Chi Feiyen, but rather it was she who took the initiative to approach them.
Cough,cough!
Blood-stained teeth were coughed out of Chi Feiyan’s mouth, half of her face was swollen like a bun, one eye was bloodshot red. She was a terrible sight to behold, with no trace of elegance left.
She mustered the strength to get up, crawling over to Xu Mu with tears welling in her eyes.
“Xu Lang, let me explain, I had no intention of harming you! I had drugged those two old guys long ago, they could never have killed you!”
“If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t use such a stupid method. Xu Lang, you must believe me!”
Chi Feiyan clung to the corner of Xu Mu’s clothes, looking utterly pitiful.
Xu Mu’s face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed. He grasped her throat, picked her up like a doll.
If I didn’t believe you, do you thinkyou’d still be alive to talk to me!”
Xu Mu pushed her forcefully, throwing her to the ground. She let out a muffled groan.
From the memories of the elders of the Chi and Lu families, Xu Mu had indeed found that Chi Feiyan had tried to scheme against them, otherwise he would have killed her with a single stroke just now.
However, what really made him angry was that this woman dared to lie to him and use him as a pawn.
As if she had detected where Xu Mu’s anger lay, Chi Feiyan crawled over, knelt before him and pleaded, “Master, I admit my mistake! I was just hoping to help you. Only by killing those two old men could I take control of the two families and serve you better in the future!”
Help me? That sounds good! You dare to kill your own grandfather and husband. With such a venomous heart, I dare not let you help me!” Xu Mu mocked coldly.
Master, what you said really hurts me. Neither of them saw me as a granddaughter or wife, they just treated me as a commodity! Especially the old bastard from the Lu family, he actually wanted me to… wanted me to…”
Thinking back on the shameful things that the patriarch of the Lu family had asked her to do, Chi Feiyan trembled with anger.
It was precisely because the two old men were so ruthless, treating her as less than human, that she dared to use Xu Mu and plan to have them killed.
She just didn’t expect that Xu Mu would be so powerful. Her plan did not come into play at all.
If she had known about Xu Mu’s strength, she might have offered everything to him directly, asking Xu Mu to act instead of being in her current position.
No matter what reasons you have, if you dare to lie to me, you will never be forgiven!”
Xu Mu looked at her coldly, with absolutely no pity in his eyes.
Please spare me this time, Master! I dare not do it again!
Chi Feiyan begged for mercy as she tearfully pleaded, acting more pitiful.
“Hmph!
Xu Mu sneered, reached out to grab her collar, and lifted her up.
After a long while.
Xu Mu threw Chi Feiyan down like a ragdoll, turned around and left on his flying sword, leaving only one sentence behind.
You’re forbidden to heal yourself within a month!
As you wish, Master!” Chi Feiyan replied respectfully.
Once Xu Mu was far away, she couldn’t help but look down at the entrance of the cave, crying silently.
Xu Lang, how can you be so heartless!
But–
I love how you’re ruthless!
Upon returning home, Xu Mu informed his family and went up to the third floor of the attic. There, he activated a stealth formation, took out the storage bags of the elder of the Chi family and the patriarch of the Lu family and started to investigate.
Two fourth-tier Spirit Swords with unsealed spirits!
Two sets of antique fourth-tier robes!
Two masks that can block Divine Intent!
One hundred and fifty-three middle-grade Spirit Stones!
Three bottles of Grass Renewal Pills!
And that’s it!
Are they this poor?
After looking over everything twice, Xu Mu found himself speechless.
The combined possessions of these two didn’t amount to what Luo Lie had alone.
Xu Mu didn’t know that Luo Lie was new to Cui Ling Market, and still had all his resources, hence having so much stuff.
As for the elders of the Chi and Lu families, they were both quite old. They had long given anything of value to their descendants, so how could they still be carrying a load of resources every day?
This time, if they hadn’t been beguiled by Chi Feiyan and thought they could easily take down Xu Mu, they wouldn’t have made a move at all.
No matter what, these were all that he got. No matter how frustrated Xu Mu was, he could only accept it.
At least it’s better than nothing!” Xu Mu comforted himself.
Counting these two Spirit Swords, he now had five in total.
One was the fifth-tier Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword!
The other was a fire attribute fourth-tier Spirit Sword bought in Pursuing Wind City, for appearance’s sake. Xu Mu called it the Scarlet Flame Sword!
The rest were these two, one was wood attribute, and the other was ice attribute.
As for the three Spirit Swords with unsealed spirits from Luo Lie, they were all sold in Pursuing Wind City. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the money to buy the Flying Boat.
As for the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, he was somewhat reluctant to let it go, so he kept it with him, planning to give it to Leng Yuening in the future. She practiced the Ice attribute Martial Method, so it would be a perfect match.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
When Xu Mu was methodically preparing to leave, Chi Feiyan came to him once again, representing the Chi and Lu families in asking him to become their patron.
“It looks like you’ve planned everything perfectly!
Xu Mu’s expression was cold as he looked at Chi Feiyan, who knelt before him looking pitiful.
Without the protection of someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Family fortunes of the Chi and Lu families would soon be usurped by other Foundation Establishment Families. It is crucial to find a new protector, and there is no one more suitable than the Master in the entire Liyang Sect,” Chi Feiyan said with her head bowed, not daring to meet Xu Mu’s gaze.
Xu Mu, the Chi family, and the Lu family all hailed from White River City, sharing some connections. Coupled with Xu Mu’s recent advancement and his unpredictable nature, he indeed was the most suitable candidate.
If they were to seek the protection of other families, given the opponents’ strength, the two families would soon be swallowed up completely, leaving nothing behind.
Xu Mu stared at Chi Feiyan, tapping his index finger on the table before suddenly speaking after a long silence, “Fine! I agree to your proposal!”
Thank you, Master!
Chi Feiyan raised her head, a bright smile on her face. But seeing Xu Mu’s unchanged expression, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Xu Lang, he still couldn’t let go of what had happened last time.
Soon after, Chi Feiyan brought the Chi family Head, Chi Yuan, and the Lu family head, Lv Yi, to visit him.
Both of them were exceptionally respectful in Xu Mu’s presence.
Seeing Chi Yuan, Xu Mu recalled the time when the man had shown off his power in White River City, killing three Late Stage Qi Cultivators with a single move.
Back then, he could only look up to them. Yet, after just a few short years, the man was already bending down, greeting him like a younger generation.
Indeed, fortune changes over time!
Don’t bother me unless it’s vital. Any offerings to me should be given to Miss Chi!” Xu Mu ordered.
With these words, the command of the two families was essentially handed over to Chi Feiyan.
We will follow your instructions, Senior!
The two of them replied respectfully, not daring to disagree in the slightest.
Compared to being swallowed by other Foundation Establishment Families, submitting to Chi Feiyan was truly nothing in comparison.
After sending the two men away, Chi Feiyan immediately began to show her affection for Xu Mu.
“You should leave too!
He wasn’t in the mood for any intimacy when the wound from last time had yet to heal.
Master!
Chi Feiyan looked at him plaintively.
Get out!
Xu Mu’s voice was calm, but it carried an immense authority.
“Yes!
Chi Feiyan lowered her head, looking wronged as she respectfully retreatted.
Watching her retreating figure, Xu Mu stood up and flexed his fingers.
This woman was overly ambitious and loved to scheme, the most important was that she dared to manipulate him! If she wasn’t somewhat useful, he wouldn’t bother with her.
Darling, are the matters settled?”
Ye Yingying, clad in a purple robe, walked in holding one-year-old Xu Yin, a sweet smile on her face.
Yes!
Xu Mu, who was initially expressionless, bloomed into a radiant smile like snow melting in spring. He reached forward and embraced both of them.
How are the preparations going?
Almost done!
Ye Yingying responded softly, leaning her head on his chest and listening to his familiar heartbeat.
Let’s depart once I’ve arranged everything!
Okay!
Don’t you want to know where we’re going?”
As long as you’re there, any place will do!
Indeed, no one can compare to one’s own wife! Haha!
A few days later
In the early morning under a drizzle, Xu Mu and the others headed for the city gates without attracting much attention.
After leaving the city, Xu Mu released his Jade Flying Boat. Everyone hopped on, and after he had inserted a few medium-grade Spirit Stones, the boat slowly ascended under his Divine Intent’s control. Turning into a stream of green light, it quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Half a month later, they arrived at the region where the spatial rift was located. To prevent too many people from learning about the existence of the rift and causing unnecessary trouble, Xu Mu cast a spell that knocked everyone unconscious. He only woke them up when they arrived at the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.
Daddy, there’s so much blue water!
Little Ling’er, seeing the vast ocean, was so excited she almost jumped off the Flying Boat.
The others were also dumbfounded, their eyes wide with shock.
The sea was something they had only read about in ancient texts. This was their first time seeing it in reality, and the awe it inspired was ineffable.
What shocked them even more was how Xu Mu had transported them to such a distant place in the blink of an eye.
Xu Mu didn’t say anything, and they all tactfully didn’t ask.
To prevent them from revealing anything after entering the city, Xu Mu first found an island inhabited by mortals nearby and stayed there for over a month before taking them into the Pursuing Wind City.
I haven’t seen her for two or three months; I wonder how Su Luan is doing? I hope no one has bullied her!”
Thinking of Su Luan, Xu Mu remembered the majestic peaks.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
