“Master, let’s go find him right now and make him disclose the whereabouts of my son.” Mu Canshou had not returned for several days now, and combined with the nightmares at night, she had a bad premonition and was terrified that her dreams would beco reality.
Her son Mu Canshou was a possible successor to the position of Clan Leader of the Mu family, how could he be killed by soone?
She had to find Mu Canshou imdiately.
“First, have the second lady go rest; I’ll take people to see that boy right away,” commanded Mu Tianxing.
The servants tried to take her back to her room, but the second lady adamantly refused to go, insisting on following Mu Tianxing to find Ye Qiu.
…
“Why is the Mu family mobilizing such a great force?
What are they trying to do?
Are they planning to annihilate an ancient family?”
“Don’t you know?
Mu clan’s pride, Mu Canshou, has gone missing and his whereabouts are unknown; we don’t know if he’s alive or dead,” soone whispered quietly.
Upon hearing this, bystanders felt a chill in their hearts.
No wonder the Mu family was making such a grand move—could it be they’d found so clues?
Out of curiosity, many people couldn’t help but slowly follow behind the Mu family, ready to see who the Mu family was going after.
As the Mu family’s large troop moved forward, it wasn’t long before so people realized that the Mu family was headed to Yun Shang Palace, to hold Yun Shang accountable.
“No, it seems they’re going to the residence of the recently famous Ye Qiu.”
“With such a show of force, this doesn’t seem like a small matter.
What has this guy done to provoke such a large scale response from the Mu family?”
“It’s hard to say, let’s just follow and see,” groups of people continued to follow behind, curious about how the situation would unfold.
The great commotion of the Mu family soon reached the ears of other ancient families, who were curious about what the Mu family was up to and imdiately sent so people to investigate.
“Brother Ye, it’s not good, the people from the Mu family are nearly at the door,” Jin Shanshun exclaid, pushing the door open and startling Ye Qiu from his ditation.
“Have they finally arrived?” Ye Qiu knew that the ssenger who was sent must have given him away.
“Co on, let’s go out and see who all from the Mu family have co,” said Ye Qiu.
“But what about her?” Jin Shanshun looked at Ye Zi, still fast asleep.
It seed she had not had a proper rest in a long ti, and here at Ye Qiu’s place, she slept very soundly and sweetly.
“No matter, the Mu family doesn’t have evidence that I killed Mu Canshou; they can’t make a move.
Even if they dare to make a move, I, Ye Qiu, will not be taken down without a fight,” Ye Qiu said as he got up, tucked the blanket around Ye Zi, and stepped out of the room.
Jin Shanshun stood motionless for a mont before imdiately following after him.
Boom, boom, boom…
There was a significant tremor on the ground—the people from the Mu family had arrived.
“You are Ye Qiu?”
Seeing Ye Qiu standing in front, facing his group, an elder from the Mu family asked.
“I am indeed Ye Qiu.
May I know what brings all of you to my place?” Ye Qiu replied lightly.
“Where is my son Canshou?
If you don’t tell his whereabouts, I will have your house razed, and you flayed and deboned,” the second lady threatened.
Ye Qiu looked at the middle-aged woman whose voice exuded chilliness.
This woman didn’t even deign to look at him directly, adopting an aggressive stance as if ready to strike or kill at any mont; she clearly was used to giving orders.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.
If you’re looking to find soone, I’m afraid you have the wrong person.
I do not know where the person you’re referring to is,” Ye Qiu said.
“Soone seize him!
Subject him to harsh interrogation.
I want to see if he will talk then!” the Second Lady imdiately called for people to handle Ye Qiu.
“You’re framing and entrapping .
It seems you are deliberately targeting .
Don’t forget the warning from Yun Shang Palace,” Ye Qiu said unflinchingly.
Hold on!
Hearing these words, Mu Tianxing spoke up to stop those who were about to take action.
The Second Lady angrily demanded, “What are you doing?
Why aren’t you letting take him away?”
Mu Tianxing knew that the Second Lady was worried about any misfortunes befalling Mu Canshou and was acting sowhat madly at the mont.
But he was surprised by Ye Qiu’s calmness, especially his composure which even made Mu Tianxing suspect whether, indeed, Ye Qiu might not be involved.
Mu Tianxing’s gaze swept across the room, and a servant stepped forward, loudly proclaiming, “On that day, it was I who delivered the letter here, and I gave it to him.” The servant pointed at Jin Shanshun.
“Is there any mistake in what he said?” Mu Tianxing turned to look at Jin Shanshun.
For so reason, upon feeling Mu Tianxing’s gaze, Jin Shanshun’s heart shuddered, the aura emanating was frightening, but seeing Ye Qiu still standing unfazed gave Jin Shanshun enough courage to take a deep breath, calming himself considerably.
He forced himself not to act afraid and said, “That’s right, but this does not prove that the disappearance of your clan’s young master is related to us.”
“Do you have any proof that you are not involved?” Mu Tianxing asked indifferently.
“Clan Leader Mu, that’s quite unreasonable of you to say.
The young master simply wanted to et with to express his gratitude for the help I offered him in the Great Emperor’s tomb.
But I was very busy at the ti and couldn’t spare the ti.
So I did not go,” Ye Qiu stated very calmly.
“You are lying.
With Canshou’s abilities, how could he have needed your help?
I think you’re just making excuses for yourself,” a young Mu clansman stood up, soone Ye Qiu faintly rembered, who had entered the Great Emperor’s tomb with Mu Canshou.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “My brother, you may have misunderstood.
My relationship with Brother Canshou is quite good.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked several seniors to help escape the danger of being pursued last ti.
In fact, I’ve always had favorable feelings towards the Mu clan, and I have been wanting to thank those seniors for their help.”
Behind him, several elders from the Mu clan felt their cheeks flush with embarrassnt at Ye Qiu’s words.
Their intentions at that ti had been to capture Ye Qiu, but now in front of everybody, he had made it look like a rescue operation, which really left them speechless.
“Clan Leader Mu, it’s good that you ca to see today.
I would like to express my thanks for your clan’s use of force at that ti, although I left secretly because I didn’t want to waste the ti of your elders.
I had been looking for an opportunity to thank them in person, and today I have that chance to thank those seniors right here.”
Ye Qiu gave a slight bow in the manner of a martial artist, leaving the people behind him puzzled by the turnout of events.
Weren’t the Mu clan here to demand a person?
How had it turned into this situation?
“Young man, don’t think you can change the subject.
Hurry up and tell us where young master Canshou is,” an elder could not help but speak up, as Ye Qiu’s portrayal of harmony undermined the Mu clan’s position in demanding his return.
“Elder, I do not understand what you’re saying.
If Brother Canshou has disappeared, it’s not fair to put the bla on .
We had a rather large acquaintance, and I even helped him in the Great Emperor’s tomb.
Are you implying ingratitude by pressing so harshly, or are you coveting sothing of mine?” Ye Qiu said sternly and earnestly.
Hmm?
Could the Mu clan be aiming for sothing at the Emperor Level, using this as an excuse to take Ye Qiu back to their clan?
Many in the crowd felt this possibility was quite likely upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words.
Perhaps the disappearance of Mu Canshou was only a pretext.
Just then, people from the Shi and Ji clans appeared.
“Clan Leader Mu, it’s a bit excessive for you to try to take Ye Qiu away by these ans.
As it happens, one of my disciples has also gone missing, and I suspect he’s involved.
Even if we were to take him away, he should go to my Ji clan first..”
“My Shi clan has also lost a genius, so naturally, he should co to my clan first.”
Suddenly, the other two ancient clans interjected, and the situation quickly changed.
Mu Tianxing, frowning, looked at the composed and unflustered Ye Qiu in front of him, sohow feeling as if they, the Mu clan, were being led by the nose by this young man.
