Chapter 8

"Has Young Master Mu arrived?"

The girl in the white dress stood up. Sito

"Speak of the devil, and he appears."

Old Ning laughed.

Liu Yanqing's heart skipped a beat; there really was a connection!

"Strange, why would Young Master Mu be in the Xuan Pavilion?"

The girl in the white dress was puzzled.

Three days ago, she had spoken with Mu Bei, setting up a banquet in the Tian Pavilion.

Liu Yanqing lowered his head and said, "Young Master Mu had a bit of a conflict with someone in the Xuan Pavilion."

As he said this, he glanced at Mo Qianyuan.

"Is that so?" Old Ning frowned and looked at the girl, saying, "Princess, let's go down and see. We should personally welcome Young Master Mu."

The girl nodded, "Old Uncle Ning is right."

Immediately, Old Ning ordered Liu Yanqing to lead the way, and the group quickly arrived at the Xuan Pavilion.

Inside, there were many young men and women, and several burly guards surrounded Mu Bei.

The girl in the white dress and Old Ning's faces darkened instantly.

The two first greeted Mu Bei, then turned to Liu Yanqing and demanded, "What's going on?!"

These burly guards were all from the Heavenly Phoenix Tower.

"Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" Liu Yanqing trembled, shouting at the guards, "Why haven't you retreated?!"

The guards dared not delay and quickly withdrew.

This scene left Mo Shaogong and the others deeply moved.

What kind of status did Liu Yanqing have? Even the heads of the major families in Puyun City dared not offend him, yet now, facing the girl in the white dress and the gray-robed old man, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, full of fear.

"What happened?"

Old Ning asked Liu Yanqing sternly.

Mu Bei was a distinguished guest invited by the princess and him, yet he was treated like this!

Liu Yanqing was terrified, stammering, and in the end, it was Mu Yiyi who stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.

"Rubbish!"

Old Ning coldly swept his gaze over the crowd in the pavilion.

Mo Qianyuan quickly walked to Mo Shaogong, raised his hand, and slapped Mo Shaogong, pointing at Mu Bei and saying, "Aren't you going to apologize to Young Master Mu?!"

Mo Shaogong was stunned; from childhood to now, his father had never hit him, yet now he had slapped him.

"Father, I..."

He had only managed to say two words when Mo Qianyuan slapped him again.

"Apologize!"

Mo Qianyuan was furious. Just a moment ago, he had been thinking about building a good relationship with Mu Bei, but then his son had offended Mu Bei, even getting Liu Yanqing to deal with Mu Bei. Wasn't this digging his own grave!

If things went badly, he might even lose his position as city lord!

Mo Shaogong dared not defy his father, hesitantly approaching Mu Bei and bowing his head, "I'm sorry!"

He wasn't stupid and could see that Mu Bei must have a significant relationship with the girl in the white dress and the gray-robed old man. He had kicked a hard stone today!

Mu Bei looked at Mo Shaogong, "In the future, don't even think about my sister, or you'll know the consequences."

"U... Understood!"

Mo Shaogong stammered.

Mo Qianyuan smiled apologetically, his heart aching, wanting to give Mo Shaogong another hard slap.

There were so many women in Puyun City vying to get into his bed, why did he have to set his sights on Mu Bei's sister?!

Mu Bei ignored Mo Shaogong, his gaze falling on Wang Huaxing, "Apologize."

Wang Huaxing was already scared white, and he dared not hesitate, immediately saying to Mu Bei, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Not to me, to her."

Mu Bei kicked Wang Huaxing and pointed to Mu Yiyi beside him.

The girl in the white dress's beautiful eyes flickered; it seemed Mu Bei cared deeply for Mu Yiyi. Old Uncle Ning had asked her to build a good relationship with Mu Bei, and Mu Yiyi might be a good starting point.

Wang Huaxing hurriedly turned to Mu Yiyi, pleading, "Yiyi, no, Lady! Lady, I was wrong, I was wrong! Please be magnanimous and forgive me! I beg you, forgive me!"

Mu Yiyi huffed, not even bothering to acknowledge him, standing obediently beside Mu Bei.

Seeing Yiyi's reaction, Mu Bei also ignored Wang Huaxing, his gaze turning to Liu Yanqing, "You said you were going to chop me up and feed me to the dogs?"

The girl in the white dress and Old Ning's faces turned cold, both looking at Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing was instantly terrified, falling to his knees before Mu Bei and slapping himself, "I failed to recognize your greatness, I have offended you, please don't hold it against me, Young Master Mu!"

"Manager Liu, what are you doing? I was just mentioning it casually, I didn't mean to blame you. I understand the situation, please stand up."

Mu Bei said.

Today, he was just using the situation to pressure others; ultimately, it wasn't his own strength.

Although the power behind Liu Yanqing was far from that of the girl in the white dress, it wasn't insignificant. Pressing too hard wouldn't be good.

Everything has its limits; it's best to stop at the right moment.

Liu Yanqing was relieved, taking a deep breath, "Thank you, Young Master Mu for your magnanimity! Thank you, Princess and Lord Ning for your tolerance!"

After saying this, he stood up, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

The word "Princess" he uttered made everyone in the Xuan Pavilion tremble.

Princess?!

This girl in the white dress was actually a princess! A big shot from the Imperial City!

No wonder Liu Yanqing was so afraid of the girl in the white dress and the gray-robed old man, no wonder he suddenly became so wary of Mu Bei.

Mu Bei actually had a connection with a princess from the Imperial City!

Ignoring Mo Shaogong and the others, Mu Bei looked at the girl in the white dress and the gray-robed old man, "I apologize for keeping you waiting."

He was surprised that the girl in the white dress was a princess, but only for a moment.

After all, he had already guessed that her status was very high.

"Sir, you are too polite. This is what we should do."

The girl in the white dress smiled and invited Mu Bei to move to the Tian Pavilion.

As Mu Bei's sister, Mu Yiyi was naturally invited along.

"Go back and reflect on your actions!"

Mo Qianyuan glared at Mo Shaogong, following Mu Bei and the others to the Tian Pavilion.

For a moment, the Xuan Pavilion was silent, with various expressions of shock, panic, and disbelief.

Especially Li Ziyi, who now looked like a statue, her eyes numb and empty.

Upon hearing that Mu Bei's meridians were shattered and his cultivation lost, she immediately went with her father to the Mu family to break off the engagement, showing no regard for Mu Bei and cutting all ties.

She never expected that Mu Bei's strength would be even greater than before, and he even had an unusual relationship with a princess from the Imperial City!

This was like a slap in the face.

What had she and her Li family missed out on?

After a while, Liu Yanqing was the first to recover, coldly scanning everyone in the Xuan Pavilion, "No one is to reveal a single word about today's events! Otherwise, don't blame me, Liu Yanqing, for being ruthless!"

The arrival of a princess from the Imperial City in Puyun City, though not a top secret, should not be casually spread.

Moreover, he had lost face today. If it got out, how could he stand in Puyun City in the future?

After saying this, he swept his sleeve and left.

At this time, Mu Bei and the others were already seated in the Tian Pavilion.

After some casual conversation, Mo Qianyuan apologized to Mu Bei, "Shaogong has offended you, and I, as his father, have failed to discipline him. Please forgive me, Young Master Mu! If you need anything in the future, I will do my utmost to help!"
