Phoenix Cry Firmament

There was no one in the Qing Yun Sect that didn’t know of the old man’s temper. He wasn’t someone you could reason with. If you didn’t provoke him, you would be fine. If you provoked him, then regardless of your identity, he wouldn’t reason with you. He was also excessively protective of those he liked.

There was one time when his Yao Tong1 was kidnapped by someone when he went out to collect some medicinal plants. That old man immediately rushed to their house. Before allowing that person to apologise, he viciously beat the person, nearly causing them to lose their life.

From then on, even if it were a Yao Tong, if the person had the Qing Yun Sect’s logo then nobody would mess with them.

“Don’t go too far!” Mu Qing gritted his teeth as he viciously continued, “The Phoenix City isn’t yours. Don’t forget that recently, there are also people from the Qing Yun Sect still in the city. I have a good relationship with the Qing Yun Sect. If you don’t apologise to my daughter, I’ll ask a member of the Qing Yun Sect to seek justice for me.”

‘Qing Yun Sect?’

Mu Ru Yue couldn’t help but smile. Didn’t this count as lifting a rock to smash one’s own foot? In the Qing Yun Sect, there didn’t seem to be anyone that would dare find trouble with Wu Yu for Mu Qing.

“Hahaha!” Wu Yu laughed. “Good, very good. I’ll wait for those people to act on your behalf. How can I, Wu Yu, fear those trashes from the Qing Yun Sect?”

In comparison to Wu Yu, people like Tian Yuan were indeed trashes, so he didn’t bother attaching importance to them. Given Tian Yuan’s guts, even if there were ten of him, he wouldn’t dare seek trouble with him.

After all, Tian Yuan’s strength wasn’t the strongest in the Qing Yun Sect.

“Just you wait!” Mu Qing coldly snorted before shifting his gaze to Mu Yi Xue. “Xue Er, let’s go!”

He had treated the old man politely, yet the old man dared to beat his daughter in front of him? Wasn’t this a direct insult to him?

Perhaps his power was indeed strong, but how could it be beyond the strength of the Qing Yun Sect? If he could successful gain the assistance of Grandmaster Tian Yuan, wouldn’t he be able to viciously teach him a lesson?

Currently, Mu Qing didn’t know that the person he just offended was someone Tian Yuan couldn’t offend. Otherwise, even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare act so arrogantly before him.

“Father, are we letting it go just like this?” Mu Yi Xue angrily asked.

“Let it go? How can we? I could feel energy undulations from that old man’s body, yet I couldn’t see his cultivation level. The only reason that would happen is if his strength is significantly greater than mine. I can’t afford to offend that kind of expert, but there definitely will be someone that could. Relax! Alright, I swear that I will definitely seek revenge for the two of us!”

But Mu Qing really did regret bringing Mu Yi Xue along. If not, he wouldn’t have thoroughly offended Mu Ru Yue.

Night.

Moonlight shone through the tree leaves and faintly entered a room.

A silver figure flashed into the room through the window and looked sinisterly at the young girl sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, the young girl seemed to feel something and abruptly opened her eyes. At this instant, a stinky cloth 2 was stuck into her mouth before a storm of fists landed….

☀

All of the streets and alleyways spread this incident the next day.

“Hey, have you guys heard? Last night, the Third young mistress of the Mu family, Mu Yi Xue, was violently bashed by someone. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Who knows who she offended that would actually result in someone beating her up so viciously, to the point where her face resembled a pig.”

“The Third young mistress of the Mu family has always been arrogant, despotic, and equipped with matchless willfulness. She usually offends a lot of people. Perhaps she’d offended someone she couldn’t offend, leading to such an outcome. Hahaha!”

“It seems that as a person, you must keep a low profile. If not, you would end up like the Third young mistress of the Mu family and offend someone you shouldn’t offend….”
