Chapter 115 - Chapter 115 – Mu Yueshan’s Visit*

Mu Family.

"Young Master, you're back?" The Mu Family's servants saw Mu Huai dazedly walk through the door and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Mu Huai directly headed inside and found Mu Yueshan.

"Father."

"Where have you been?" Mu Yueshan asked unhappily..

"I went to find Qi Shaorong."

Mu Yueshan frowned and said, "Why did you go look for him?"

"I wanted to ask him why he's targeting the Mu Family and if there's been some sort of misunderstanding." Mu Huai said.

"Well did he give you an answer?"

"Father, how exactly did I get the two wood-spirit cores in my body?" Mu Huai asked with some agitation.

"You were born with them, of course." Mu Yueshan's eyelids twitched and he turned his face away.

Mu Huai stared at Mu Yueshan and said, "Father, you're still insisting on lying to me?"

"Who did you meet?" Mu Yueshan asked with a heavy voice.

Mu Huai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his face pale, "Father, the other wood-spirit core in my body is Mu Tingxuan's, isn't it? You dug out his wood-spirit core and placed it in my body."

Mu Huai said somewhat agitatedly, "I remember when I was a child, I only had one wood-spirit core, but one time I fell seriously ill and loss consciousness, and when I woke up, I found an extra core in my body."

"You remembered wrong." Mu Yueshan waved his hand.

"Father, going too far is just as bad as not going far enough. It's not mine, it doesn't belong to me, so the extra wood-spirit core in my body will only hinder my growth and progress." Mu Huai gritted his teeth, "Your actions caused me harm, and also harmed my cousin."

"Who told you all this nonsense, Mu Tingxuan or Qi Shaorong? They're trying to scare you, the wood-spirit core is a good thing, it's clear that you were naturally born with two. Mu Tingxuan doesn't even have one, he's just jealous of you." Mu Yueshan said coldly.

Mu Huai shook his head and said, ���No, I felt it myself. After I advanced to the seventh level, I felt that the wood-spirit core in my body was preventing me from advancing any further."

"Advancing from the seventh level to the eighth level isn't the same as advancing from the sixth level to the seventh, advancing to the eighth level is inherently difficult, this probably just caused you to have some misconceptions." Mu Yueshan said.

Mu Huai shook his head and said, "It's not like that, I really do feel that some things are different from before. What Qi Shaorong said is right. What isn't mine, in the end, never will be mine."

Mu Yueshan looked at Mu Huai and said angrily, "Why would you listen to Qi Shaorong's nonsense, he and Mu Tingxuan are on the same side!"

Mu Huai looked at Mu Yueshan and said, "So, that Mu Tingxuan really is my cousin, isn't he? That cousin who was rumored to have died back then?"

Mu Yueshan wearily thought to himself: Weeds that are cut without eliminating the roots, will always return once the spring breeze blows again.

The people who were responsible for dealing with Mu Tingxuan back then clearly said that the matter was resolved, but that group of bastards actually neglected their duties and left behind such a big, hidden danger. Who'd have expected that Mu Tingxuan would actually end up with Qi Shaorong? And this Qi Shaorong guy, Mu Tingxuan's matters have nothing to do with him, why must he stick his nose in other people's business?

"You don't need to worry about this, you should go first." Mu Yueshan said.

Mu Huai smiled, and only felt an indescribable sense of fatigue oozing from his bones. He's the favoured son of the Mu Family! Born with two wood-spirit cores, he was blessed by nature, and was the darling of the heavens. Mu Huai closed his eyes. What "born with"? This was just the result of other people's schemes and calculations.

Qi Shaorong was walking on the streets, accompanied by Zhuang Hao.

"What are you looking at?" Zhuang Hao asked.

"You tell me, what do you see here?" Qi Shaorong asked.

"Shops!" Zhuang Hao said.

Qi Shaorong glanced at Zhuang Hao and said, "How shallow."

"Then what do you see?" Zhuang Hao was already used to being mocked by Qi Shaorong, and didn't react much to being called shallow.

"Business opportunities! Feng Yuan is intending to invest in Allure Cosmetics and wants to work together with me." Qi Shaorong said.

Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, "You're not planning on going back to Yuan Country?"

Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, "How could that be? My roots are still in Yuan Country, after all, but I didn't listen to orders and betrayed the Emperor's hopes. The Emperor definitely won't feel too good about this, I want to wait for him to calm down first before going back."

Zhuang Hao: "…"

"So, when do you think the Emperor will calm down?" Qi Shaorong asked Zhuang Hao.

Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said helplessly, "Once the Emperor finds out that you failed to fulfill his great cause of consolidating power, all for the sake of an abandoned son from the Mu Family, he most likely won't be able to let go of this matter in this entire lifetime."

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and shook his head, saying, "I think that you're way underestimating the Emperor's mind. Is it because you yourself are narrow-minded, so you look down on other people?"

Zhuang Hao: "…"

As Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao were walking, a child fell onto Qi Shaorong and snatched away Qi Shaorong's purse.

Qi Shaorong stretched out his hand but the child had already run away.

Qi Shaorong looked at the kid in the distance and said, "That kid stole my money." Qi Shaorong frowned and thought: The children in this world were way too extraordinary. This kid's money-stealing abilities could give those people from his previous world a run for their money.

"Let's hurry up and chase after him! What are you standing here for?" Qi Shaorong turned to look at Zhuang Hao and said unhappily.

"There's something wrong with that kid." Zhuang Hao said.

Qi Shaorong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry about it, just hurry up and catch up to him! There's a lot of money in that purse."

"Then I'll go chase him, you'll follow me." Zhuang Hao said.

Qi Shaorong was annoyed and said, "Fine, hurry up."

Zhuang Hao grabbed Qi Shaorong's hand, and under the effect of wind magic, the two quickly set off.

"This little thief runs so fast!" Qi Shaorong said.

Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, "This little thief has a problem, that person's speed is way too fast!"

"Nonsense, it doesn't matter if there's a problem with him or not, no one's allowed to steal from me!" Qi Shaorong said.

"This person seems to be at the seventh level, and probably has a contract beast that's skilled at escaping. Their goal probably wasn't just to steal your money, the surroundings are becoming more and more remote." Zhuang Hao said.

"What do you mean?" Qi Shaorong asked, "Are you saying that the other party wants to lead me to a secluded place and then kill me?"

Zhuang Hao took Qi Shaorong and landed on the ground. Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao said, "We're not chasing after them anymore?"

"There's no need, the other person is already here."

"Mu Yueshan!" Qi Shaorong looked at the person who came, and the hint of a smile flashed through his eyes.

"Mu-qianbei, if you wanted to see me, you could've just told me directly! Why find someone to steal my things!" Qi Shaorong said.

Mu Yueshan looked at Qi Shaorong with a gloomy face, and said, "Young Master Qi, our Mu Family and you have no grudges between us, in the past or present, why are you intent on destroying us?"

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that I'm trying to destroy you all, I only asked someone to suppress the Mu Family's business a little. It shouldn't be that big of a deal."

Mu Yueshan gnashed his teeth and looked hatefully at Qi Shaorong, saying, "Doesn't Qi Shaorong know, cutting off one's livelihood is like killing one's parents?"

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "Oh, I've never heard of this before. This is my first time hearing about it, how novel!"

"Young Master Qi, anything Mu Tingxuan can give you, I can also give you!" Mu Yueshan said arrogantly.

"Tingxuan is my person and he was wronged, so naturally I'm just looking out for him. It has nothing to do with what benefits you can give me, besides, I don't think the Mu Family can give me anything useful anyway." Qi Shaorong said coldly .

Mu Yueshan's face sank and he said, "I see there's nothing for us to discuss then."

Qi Shaorong nodded and said, "I think so too."

Mu Yueshan looked at Qi Shaorong and said, displeased, "Qi Shaorong, is there a need for someone like you to destroy your future for such an ill-omened person?"

Qi Shaorong's face darkened, and he said, "Who are you calling ill-omened, you're the ill-omened one!"

"When Mu Tingxuan was born, the fortune-teller said that he'd grow up to bring misfortune to his father, his mother, and his family in this life. Young Master Qi, for your own good, you should stay far away from him." Mu Yueshan said.

Qi Shaorong sneered and said, "Who'd have thought that a big shot like Mu-qianbei actually believes so much in superstition like this. I'm tough enough, I'm not afraid of meeting misfortune."

Mu Yueshan looked at Qi Shaorong, gritted his teeth, and said, "Do it!"

Zhuang Hao pulled Qi Shaorong back, shielding Qi Shaorong behind him.

Zhuang Hao waved his hand and threw out dozens of scrolls.

The level seven and eight magic all exploded one after another.

Qi Shaorong felt pained inside as he watched this, and thought: Zhuang Hao this idiot, what a waste. So many scrolls, so much money!

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said, "You're so wasteful!"

"Not at all." Zhuang Hao saw more people heading towards them and took out another few dozen scrolls from his storage ring and detonated them.

The corner of Qi Shaorong's mouth twitched. He's clearly so wasteful, yet he still dared to say that he's not.

"I made these scrolls myself, it doesn't cost much." Zhuang Hao said.

Qi Shaorong couldn't help widening his eyes, and he thought: Zhuang Hao actually has the ability to make magic scrolls, this guy's really good!

Mu Yueshan had originally wanted to display his strength in front of Qi Shaorong, but was beaten up by Zhuang Hao's scrolls.

Mu Yueshan roared, and a cyan-coloured sword flew towards Qi Shaorong.

With a flash of lightning, Zhuang Hao stopped Mu Yueshan's attack.

Zhuang Hao rushed out and started fighting against the aggressive Mu Yueshan.

Qi Shaorong stood at the side, watching the confrontation between Mu Yueshan and Zhuang Hao.

Mu Yueshan was a level-nine wood mage, and his strength was about the same as Hu Feng. Zhuang Hao had just advanced to the eighth level, and due to his abundant magical power, was evenly matched with Mu Yueshan.

With a wave of Zhuang Hao's magic staff, seven different colours of light melted together and merged into a giant, compressed ball of magic. The compressed magic ball abruptly exploded in front of Mu Yueshan, generating a large amount of magic power, and Mu Yueshan took several steps back.

Zhuang Hao's hair fluttered, and there was an overwhelming aura surrounding him.

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao, and he thought to himself: The one in front of him right now seems to be the real Zhuang Hao. During the Hundred Schools Competition, he didn't try his best, and Zhuang Hao probably didn't either.

Mu Yueshan looked at Zhuang Hao and said, "Young Master Zhuang Hao, the one I have a problem with is Qi Shaorong, this has nothing to do with you!"

"I'm engaged to Shaorong, how can this have nothing to do with me?"

"What's so good about Qi Shaorong? If you'd like, you can choose any of the young men or women from our family!"

Qi Shaorong: "…"

Qi Shaorong thought to himself: There were rumours saying that the elders of the family liked to act as a pimp, and rumors didn't deceive him! Mu Yueshan this guy, even in the face of death, he's still acting like this towards Zhuang Hao.

Zhuang Hao ignored Mu Yueshan's words, and he even became much swifter and fiercer with his attacks.

Zhuang Hao's name was very well-known, and Mu Yueshan had also heard of him before. However, although Mu Yueshan has heard of Zhuang Hao, he didn't take him that seriously. From Mu Yueshan's point of view, no matter how powerful Zhuang Hao was, he's still too young. Now that he's actually facing Zhuang Hao in a fight, however, Mu Yueshan finally realized how troublesome it was to deal with him.

Zhuang Hao's magic power was very abundant. Mu Yueshan and Zhuang Hao had fought fiercely for a long time, but he found that Zhuang Hao's magic power wasn't even a little bit depleted.

Zhuang Hao's body was like a powerful magnet, and any magic power that was consumed could quickly be replenished.

Mu Yueshan couldn't help but feel like he was facing an unkillable enemy.

While Zhuang Hao and Mu Yueshan were locked in a stalemate, the people that Mu Yueshan had brought over all rushed towards Qi Shaorong.

The people that Mu Yueshan brought with him weren't too hard to deal with, but because there was a large number of people, Qi Shaorong still had some trouble with them.

Everyone piled together as they continued to fight, and all sorts of colourful magic danced around in the air.

*Visit: This can also mean "to come (or go) to see someone", but in this case, it's more like Mu Yueshan ambushed them lol.
