Taking advantage of Yun Yi’s distraction, Mu Qinglan retreated immediately. There was no panic in her eyes that her secret had been discovered, and she was instead very calm.

She already knew that it was impossible to hide this fact from Yun Yi.

Mu Qinglan was still weak right now, but it would still be difficult for someone to detect the changes in her body if they didn’t use Yuan Energy to probe.

But, what kind of person was Yun Yi? His gaze was piercing, and he could tell with a glance.

She hadn’t intended to hide this fact, but she also had no intentions of handing over the Vermillion Bird. 

Even the Mu family’s patriarch only had a Tier 6 primordial beast. With the Vermillion Bird in her hand, it would be her biggest trump card in the future. Moreover, the Vermillion Bird had already surrendered to her, so she wouldn’t let go of it so easily.

However, the problem was how she would deal with Yun Yi…

“So what if it has?” 

Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly, and an absent-minded smile floated onto her clear, handsome face.

“I couldn’t find a Level 5 Star Formation Master to help me restore my shattered meridians, but I still have my own ways.” 

Yun Yi pursed his lips.

Mu Qinglan fixed her gaze on him and said slowly, “I won’t give you the Vermillion Bird. That’s something I got after I fought desperately. If you want to take it from me, you can try!” 

“Master Mu Yan, the Jiang family has crossed the line! They crashed our gathering at the south of the city! They brought so many people with them and practically beat our people to an inch of death! They claim that they were looking for someone, but in fact, they were just using that excuse to attack us! 

“Master Mu Yan, if we continue to endure this treatment, I’m afraid that the Jiang family will just step all over our heads!” 

“That’s right, Master Mu Yan! The Jiang family deliberately provoked us this time. If we put up with it repeatedly, won’t that make them think that we’re easy to bully?!”

“Who does the Jiang family think they are? They think they’re all that because they won first in the last few martial arts tournament! Do they really think that our Mu family are nobodies?”

Inside the council hall, the Mu family elders were hopping mad.

Mu Yan, who was sitting on the platform, had a sullen look on his face. 

The Jiang family had searched the city extensively, stating that they were looking for someone. But in fact, they had laid their hands on the Mu family.

Even a man made of clay had limits and temper. What more the Mu family?

Especially at this juncture, when the annual martial arts tournament was about to begin.

If they were to face the Jiang family head-on at this time, Mu Yan was afraid that there would only be a lot of trouble.

“Hmph, Liu’er and the others have returned this year. I want to see just how long they can continue to run around rampant!” an elder suddenly said.

Several other elders also calmed down slightly when they heard that.

“I heard that Liu’er is also performing well in Biluo Academy. In this year’s martial arts tournament, the Jiang family is being whimsical if they think they can drag us down.” 

“That’s right. What’s more, I heard that the incompetent one from the Jiang family picked a fight with someone at Xia Shang Auction House. Later, when he wanted to make some underhanded move towards that person, it backfired, and he’s now still lying in bed, trying to recover!” 

Everyone present exchanged glances and started laughing.

Mu Yan stood up, his hands clasped behind his back with a calm look on his face. But, the words he spoke made everyone present feel excited instantly.

“We’ll put the Jiang family aside for now. The martial arts tournament will start soon, and they are also trying to get a feel of our strength. We will bide our time for now, and when the martial arts tournament starts, we’ll make sure to kill them all off! Let them know the power of our Mu family!”

Mu Liu’er impatiently chased away the two people following behind her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She snorted coldly and started going through the motions of her sword techniques.

She had returned this time for the sake of the entire Mu Mansion. How could she let a small-time scoundrel like that affect her mood?

When she thought about it, she brought down the long sword in her hand violently!

The white, gleaming sword danced in the wind, and her movement was graceful. The aura that she emitted was majestic, and the sharpness of her sword was unparalleled. Her practice soon drew others on the training field over to look.

When they saw it was her, many of them were joyful.

“It’s Lady Liu’er!” 

“She’s back from the academy? That’s awesome! We’ll definitely win this year!”

“We haven’t seen her for two years, and she’s only become more beautiful and outstanding in that time!” 

The lively chatter floated into her ears, and Mu Liu’er had long been used to hearing such compliments. She hadn’t bothered about it in the past and had taken all the praise as rightfully hers.

But now, as she listened, the image of a handsome young man with a carefree smile on his face floated into mind.

“Something like this… really doesn’t interest me.” 

As if she had been caught in an evil spell, the more she didn’t want to, the more those words and that person’s smile appeared in her mind. It made her extremely frustrated and annoyed!

Although Mu Liu’er was haughty, she wasn’t stupid, and she quickly concluded that Mu Ye had left out some parts in his story. Even though she had defended Mu Ye repeatedly back then, she already knew on the inside who was wrong and right in that situation. 

However, it was impossible for her to admit that she had misunderstood that person!

Swoosh!

When Mu Liu’er brought down her sword, a stabbing pain flared up on her wrist. She could still see the red swelling on it after that incident.

Looking at it served only to remind her of the warm breath from that person that had stood behind her…

Mu Liu’er blushed, the anger in her eyes burning brighter.

That nasty Mu Linghan!

Clang!

Shaken by her Yuan Energy, the sword in her hand actually shattered!

The crowd watching this scene unfold in front of them were all shocked, then they started to shout in praise.

“Sister Liu’er is really awesome!”

Mu Liu’er’s face was cold, and she threw the now broken sword down to the ground. She abruptly turned to look at the youth who was looking at her with admiration in his eyes.

“Isn’t Mu Linghan a cripple now? How dare he still be so arrogant in our family?” 

The youth didn’t expect that their goddess would speak to him, so he became excited and hastily replied, “Sister Liu’er, that’s just the way he is. He’s always been arrogant and never respected anyone. Who knows where he gets his guts from? What’s wrong? Did he offend you, Sister Liu’er?” 

When Mu Liu’er heard this, she furrowed her brows slightly.

Mu Linghan was well known among the entire Mu family, and even what happened after that caused him to fall from grace was naturally also known to everyone.

But, a cripple… She had only exchanged a few blows with him, and although neither of them had gotten overly serious about it, she felt that Mu Linghan was not as weak as she had imagined…

After a moment, she said coldly, “He’s not capable of offending me. The martial arts tournament is coming up, so you guys should hurry up and start training now.” 

***

Yun Yi and Mu Qinglan were still in their silent confrontation.

After a moment, Yun Yi turned around. The edge of his white robes glowed faintly from the gold embroidered on it, and it gave off a slightly noble feeling.

He felt it was meaningless to fight with Mu Linghan about this matter.

Mu Qinglan blinked. “You don’t want it anymore?” 

Yun Yi didn’t turn around. “You better look out for yourself.” 

Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrows, but she didn’t bother to argue with him. She turned around…

A strong wind suddenly crashed down and enveloped her!

Mu Qinglan felt the heavy pressure press down on her, and she could not move her body! The force was intense, to the point she felt like her flesh and bones were about to shatter into pieces!

She was shaken badly, and she immediately gritted her teeth, looking up to find who it was.

“Who has the nerve to launch a sneak attack on me? Show yourself, right now!” 

Blood was already spilling out from the corner of her lips.

A peal of gloomy laughter rang out.

“Hahaha! Yun Yi doesn’t want it, but I do!”
