Chapter 31: It Was You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qinglan’s tactics struck fear into the two attendant’s hearts. They were afraid that Mu Qinglan would send Jiang Xuan to the afterlife just because “she liked it”.

The two of them were Jiang Xuan’s attendants, but they were in fact also in charge of protecting him. They were both strong in terms of strength, and it was apparent that the Jiang family doted on their only seedling in the family.

If something were to happen here, only death would await the two attendants when they returned!

Therefore, when Mu Qinglan broke Jiang Xuan’s ankle, the two of them panicked and quickly begged, “Okay, alright! We’ll cripple ourselves now! Don’t hurt the young master anymore!”

With that, they gritted their teeth and gathered Yuan Energy in their hands, bringing it down ruthlessly on their own legs!

The sounds of bones breaking echoed out through the forest, sending shivers down one’s spine!

After the two men had broken their own legs, their already pale faces turned even whiter from the excruciating pain. However, they hardened their hearts and still raised their hands to fiercely hit the top of their arms!

In just the blink of an eye, the two attendants were gasping for breath as though they were near death. Their bodies were stained with blood, and they looked absolutely wretched.

“P-please… spare our young master…”

Although they were strong cultivators at the peak of Primary Yuan Realm, their strength would still be greatly reduced with such damage to their bodies!

If the two attendants didn’t get treated in time, they would definitely end up with some form of disability in the future, and their cultivation would surely be impacted too.

But, they had no choice but to do it!

Because this mysterious person before them was even more merciless! His methods were so vicious!

They didn’t dare to play any tricks at all.

Jiang Xuan’s mind was already blank. The pain coming from his body was incomparably painful, but somehow, he couldn’t pass out at all. He was relying on the last bit of his strength to gasp for breath, and it was excruciating! He was suffocating!

Mu Qinglan relaxed her grip slightly.

Jiang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief on the inside. “You… can let me go now, right?” 

Mu Qinglan spared a glance at him.

“Do you think everyone is stupid pigs like you are?”

Jiang Xuan was furious!

However, Mu Qinglan merely grabbed him by the collar and turned around, walking deeper into the forest!

She dragged Jiang Xuan on the ground like a dirty rag, which made him feel insulted.

“You! What the hell are you planning to do?!”

Mu Qinglan didn’t even look back. She seemed to move slowly, but in the blink of an eye, she had disappeared into the middle of the lush forest.

“Don’t worry. Killing you will only dirty my hands.” 

However, she still needed Jiang Xuan to buy her some time so she could leave without a trace.

The two Jiang family attendants wanted to follow after Mu Qinglan, but it was difficult for them even to stand up right now. So, they could only watch as Mu Qinglan disappeared with Jiang Xuan without being able to do anything.

***

Mu Qinglan quietly returned to Mu Mansion without attracting any attention.

At this time, the people in Mu Mansion didn’t pay any attention to her, since she was an unpleasant person to them after all.

All of them were eagerly discussing the events that had happened at Xia Shang Auction House today.

A Level 3 star matrix!

A Tier 6 Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal!

What treasures!

Usually, they wouldn’t even dare think of such items, but they had actually appeared this time!

Even if they would never get their hands on it, but just listening to the description of the items was enough to light their hearts up with passion!

Become strong!

Once one became strong, one could have anything and everything!

It wasn’t only Mu Mansion. The entire Luo Xi City was in a heated atmosphere.

The auction of such precious items would naturally cause an uproar, and what happened in the auction house only added to the excitement.

That mysterious black-robed person!

“Did you hear? Several prominent families initially wanted to bid for that star matrix! But, the Jiang family was still the most powerful. Jiang Xuan immediately bid a high price, which directly smothered all the other bidders! No one expected a mysterious person just suddenly to pop out! That person and Jiang Xuan just couldn’t get along. Each time he bid, he only added one gold coin! In the end, Jiang Xuan was so angry until people swore they could hear him grinding his teeth, but he still didn’t get it!”

“Who in the world is he? He’s so daring to actually provoke the Jiang family!”

“Heh, he’s certainly not some ordinary person, for sure! The final price of that star matrix was outrageous and way beyond its value, but that person still insisted on bidding for it! If it wasn’t to dominate the Jiang family, why else would that mysterious person do that? Also, to be able to bring out that much money, he definitely isn’t someone to be trifled with!” 

“Who cares about his identity? The Jiang family likes throwing their weight around, and that Jiang Xuan is bossy and overbearing. The fact that he suffered a stifling loss is so satisfying!”

“Haha, that’s not a big deal at all! Do you know what happened after was even more awesome? The starting bid for that Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal was 1,500,000 gold coins, but because of the excitement that mysterious person caused, Jiang Xuan was finally forced to cough out 5,000,000 gold coins!”

Hiss.

Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath at that. That Jiang Xuan, how generous of him!

However, coming up with such a sum of money would be painful even for the Jiang family, right?

***

In the Jiang family residence.

“Father! You have to get revenge for me!” 

The gnashing of teeth accompanied this cry, and it sounded extremely sad and pitiful.

Jiang Feng, the patriarch of the Jiang family, looked at his son. Jiang Xuan’s breathing was labored, and his face was full of blood and tears. There were bruises all over his face, and his fists were clenched tightly!

When the Xia Shang Auction House incident was happening, Jiang Feng had gotten wind of it. He had gotten a bad feeling and had immediately sent someone out.

However, he was a step too late. When his subordinate had arrived at Xia Shang Auction House, Jiang Xuan had already disappeared.

He knew his son must be angry, and would follow the mysterious man to seek revenge. However, Jiang Feng already had a feeling that the mysterious man had a cunning mind, and even his power levels were unknown. If Jiang Xuan rushed in blindly, he would be the one to suffer at the end!

As a result, it really ended up as Jiang Feng had expected!

The bad feeling he had intensified, and Jiang Feng had immediately sent more men. Only when night fell did they finally find Jiang Xuan’s two attendants who had been crippled in the Nine Foot Mountain Range. It took them longer to search around before they found Jiang Xuan, who had passed out.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan was still alive. Otherwise, Jiang Feng didn’t know what he would have done!

After Jiang Xuan woke up and saw Jiang Feng, the first thing he did was beg the older man to get revenge for him!

“Father! You don’t know how that man has humiliated me! If you don’t kill him by slicing his skin off a thousand times, I’ll never be able to withstand this humiliation!” 

Jiang Feng’s face was gloomy, and he finally let out a stern shout, “You evidently don’t know what you’ve done wrong!” 

Jiang Xuan was instantly confused. 

“You actually spent 5,000,000 gold coins in the heat of a moment out of anger to bid on that Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal! Where’s your brain? Have dogs eaten it?!”

Jiang Feng was just about to explode from anger. It wasn’t that the Jiang family was unable to fork out that amount of money, but he knew he wasn’t going to be in for a good time, explaining this to the family elders!

He had really spoiled his son overly much!

But, seeing how Jiang Xuan had been beaten to an inch of death, Jiang Feng could not speak more harsh words of punishment.

This was the first time Jiang Xuan has seen his father so furious, and he cowered immediately. However, he was still reluctant to give in. 

“Father, that person was the one who set me up! How can our Jiang family suffer this loss! We must take revenge! Also, that’s the person who auctioned the Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal in the first place! This is all his fault!” 

Jiang Feng was shocked. For the mysterious person to take out that kind of item to auction off, he was probably not an easy person to deal with…

Jiang Xuan could tell his father’s thoughts immediately and said, “Father, that man is just a Novice! Let’s block all the city gates and search the entire Nine Foot Mountain Range! He definitely won’t be able to escape!” 

Jiang Feng looked up sharply at those words. “Are you sure?!”

Mu Qinglan had just returned to her residence not long ago when someone came looking for her.

She had already changed back into her usual attire, and had washed off the disguise on her face and looked at the sturdy figure standing at the doorway with some surprise.

“Master Mu Yan? Why are you here?” 

Mu Yan stared at the youth in the house with sunken eyes. The afterglow of sunset was reflected on his face, which made his handsome features more outstanding.

That look of surprise on Mu Linghan’s face also seemed to be sincere.

After a while, Mu Yan finally spoke in a deep, low voice.

“That mysterious person… was you..”
