Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"Good morning, Madam Su!"

"Your Highness looks to be in good spirits today. Has your cultivation improved significantly during this time?"

Su Mu looked at the smile on Xiao Anran's face and a smile appeared on his face as well.

"Not bad!" Jiang Chen smiled and said.

Xiao Anran sat down in the chair. "Old Madam Su hasn't appeared for a long time; she must have been cultivating. Her cultivation level must have improved considerably!"

"So-so!"

Su Mu waved his hand and continued eating his food.

After finishing breakfast, Su Mu continued practicing basic boxing techniques in the courtyard.

Xiao Anran entered the library, selected a few ordinary ancient books, and began to browse through them.

While eating, Su Mu asked Xiao Anran, "Do you know if the Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Martial Sect is still at the Wind Crane Palace?"

Why did Grandpa Su ask this question?

A hint of anxiety flashed in Xiao Anran's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he's going to kill the Sixth Elder?"

"Shouldn't I demand an explanation from him?"

Su Mu did not answer, but asked a question instead.

"That's right!"

Xiao Anran had been in the library for some time now, and subconsciously, he had come to regard Su Mu as his friend and didn't want him to suffer any consequences because of a moment of impulsiveness.

"I know!"

Su Mu was full of confidence and said, "All you need to know is whether that old man is in the palace or not!"

"Yes, it's here!"

Xiao Anran was the first to speak, then added, "Lord Su, are you confident you can defeat him?"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Su Mu then asked, "Do you know what treasure he obtained from Wild Wolf Ridge?"

"I don't know!" Chen Zhao shook his head.

Xiao Anran shook her head and said, "I understand."

in the afternoon.

Su Mu emerged from the library and headed towards the Fenghe Hall.

As a loyal and devoted eunuch, he could come and go from the palace with almost complete freedom of movement.

Xiao Anran watched Su Mu resolutely walk out of the library and roughly knew what he was going to do.

Immediately, Xiao Anran hurriedly rushed towards the main hall.

Su Mu traveled swiftly and soon arrived at the entrance of Fenghe Palace, where he was naturally stopped.

"I need to go and meet the Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Martial Sect!"

Su Mu ignored the guards and palace eunuchs and walked straight in through the main gate.

Just then, a young eunuch rushed in from outside, even more anxious than he was.

"The great offering is here!"

Empress Su Wen, who was studying under Xiao Jingye, was slightly taken aback when she heard the news.

"Not Grandpa, but him!"

"Great! Excellent!"

"Now that he's come to us of his own accord, things are much easier!"

Su Wen was taken aback at first, then revealed a mocking smile.

Su Mu quickly arrived at a small courtyard.

Fenghe Palace is a vast palace complex, which includes a quiet courtyard where Lin Zhengying resided after entering the palace.

At this moment, Lin Wen and her grandfather Lin Zhengying had already entered the courtyard and sat down under a tree.

Under a lush, ancient tree, there is a tea table and two wooden chairs.

Steam rose from the coffee table!

The two of them, each holding a teacup, leisurely sipped their tea.

"How dare you bow to Her Majesty the Empress and a Grandmaster!"

When Lin Wen saw Su Mu approaching, she put down her teacup and scolded him.

"I've come here to demand an explanation from the Sixth Elder. There's no need for pretense!"

Su Mu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I don't need to say more about what the Sixth Elder did at Wild Wolf Ridge."

"You've got some nerve!"

Su Wen stood up abruptly, angrily saying, "I am the ruler of a country, and the Sixth Elder is my grandfather, as well as a Grandmaster of the Tianwu Sect. Your disrespect towards us is already unforgivable, yet you still dare to spout nonsense here. You truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"Your Majesty, please refrain from such nonsense!"

Su Mu, however, wasn't buying it at all, saying, "I admit you're the queen! I don't want a shameless, ignorant wretch like you!"

"Outrageous! Outrageous! You're plotting a rebellion!"

Lin Wen was absolutely furious. When did anyone dare to talk to her like that?

Even the most skilled members of the family only reprimanded her.

Even the Emperor had never reprimanded her like that!

Even when she was still Consort De, the former Empress Situ Wan, who had a falling out with her, would never humiliate her like this in front of her!

"Grandpa Su, do you even respect the Emperor and the royal family?"

Lin Zhengying followed closely behind.

"Old man, why do you, a grandmaster, need to invoke the names of the emperor and the royal family to pressure me?"

Su Mu looked at Lin Zhengying and said sarcastically, "If you truly respected the Emperor and the Royal Family, why were you so cruel to someone who had done so much for the Royal Family last night?"

"You think you can't thank me for such a great favor? You're just a puppet!"

Lin Zhengying looked Jiang Chen up and down, wondering where he got the audacity to appear in front of him.

"So what? Even a puppet stepped up when the royal family faced a crisis!"

Su Mu said disdainfully, "As a Grandmaster, how much have you done for the royal family? You should know that the three top experts of the Heavenly Martial Sect all retreated in the face of battle during the Sacrificial Ceremony! How dare you say I don't respect the Emperor and the royal family?"

"How dare you!" a furious shout rang out.

Lin Zhengying was furious that a grandmaster like him had been so humiliated!

There is a conspiracy!

Moreover, Lin Zhengying had already planned to deal with him!

If that's the case, then there's nothing to argue about!

Just make your move!

Whoosh!

Lin Zhengying was furious, and the innate true fire within his body erupted!

His primordial spirit also came into play, and a tremendous power surged out from his dantian, flowing even faster through his body.

His aura grew stronger and stronger!

Under the oppressive aura of a grandmaster, the small courtyard trembled, and even a strong wind arose!

"Grandpa, kill him!"

Lin Wen let out a loud shout and ran towards the corner.

"You little thief, die!"

A long knife appeared in Lin Zhengying's hand.

But just as he was about to make his move, Su Mu suddenly disappeared from his sight.

call!

A dark shadow, leaving a trail of afterimages!

Although Lin Zhengying was shocked, she quickly recovered.

In an instant, a thick protective barrier appeared around him!

boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth!

The newly formed protective barrier shattered instantly, and a fist beam radiating golden light struck Lin Zhengying's left shoulder!

Lin Zhengying was struck by a powerful force and sent flying backward!

Good thing...

The protective light barrier around Shi Mu and the innate true fire within his body neutralized most of the power, preventing him from suffering significant harm.

Even so, Lin Zhengying was still taken aback by Su Mu's attack!

The power of that punch was simply terrifying!

Too strong!

What terrified Lin Zhengying even more was that Su Mu hadn't used any martial arts at all; it was just a simple punch, with a faint layer of true energy covering his palm!

"A grandmaster, just like that, blasted away?"
