Everyone at Qingyun Sect knew the old man's temper. He was not one to reason with. If you didn't provoke him, things would be peaceful, but if you did, he wouldn't listen to reason and was extremely protective.
Once, one of his attendants went out to gather herbs and got captured. The old man stormed in, demanding an apology and severely beating the captor, almost to death.
Since then, no one dared to mess with anyone bearing the Qingyun Sect's mark, not even an attendant.
"Don't push your luck," Mu Qing growled through clenched teeth. "Feng City isn't your territory. Don't forget that Qingyun Sect members are also in Feng City. I have connections there. If you don't apologize to my daughter, I'll have to ask Qingyun Sect to seek justice for me."
Qingyun Sect?
Mu Ruyue couldn't help but curl her lips. Wasn't this a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot? In Qingyun Sect, it seemed no one would dare to trouble Wu Yu for Mu Qing.
"Hahaha!" Wu Yu threw his head back and laughed loudly. "Fine, very well, I'll wait for them to stand up for you. Just a bunch of trash from Qingyun Sect, how could I, Wu Yu, be afraid of them?"
Compared to Wu Yu, members of Tian Yuan were indeed trash. He would never take them seriously. Even if you gave Tian Yuan ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to provoke him.
Within Qingyun Sect, Tian Yuan wasn't even the strongest faction.
"Then just wait," Mu Qing snorted coldly and turned around, "Xue'er, let's go!"
He had initially been polite to the old man, but to hit his own daughter right before his eyes, how could he stand that?
Perhaps Wu Yu's strength was indeed formidable, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't match Qingyun Sect. If he could get Master Tianyuan's help, wouldn't that fiercely put Wu Yu in his place?
Mu Qing still didn't know that the person he had provoked was someone even Tian Yuan wouldn't dare to offend, or he wouldn't have the guts to be so arrogant.
"Father, are we just letting this go?" Mu Yixue asked angrily.
"Let it go? How could we let it go? I could sense the Qi fluctuations from that old man, but not his strength, which means his strength surpasses mine. But there's always someone who can avenge us. Don't worry, today's grudge will be avenged!"
Though Mu Qing regretted bringing Mu Yixue along, otherwise he wouldn't have completely offended Mu Ruyue.
That night, moonlight filtered through the willow branches, casting a fine shadow inside the room.
A silver figure flashed through the window, staring coldly at the girl sleeping soundly on the bed. Suddenly, as if sensing something, the girl abruptly opened her eyes, only to have a foul cloth stuffed into her mouth. Then, fists rained down on her like a storm...
The next day, the streets were buzzing with a piece of news.
"Hey, did you hear? Last night, Third Miss Mu, Mu Yixue, got a severe beating from someone. Tsk tsk, I wonder who she offended to receive such a harsh punishment. Her face is so swollen she looks like a pig."
"That Third Miss Mu has always been arrogant and spoiled, offending many people. She probably provoked someone she shouldn't have this time, hence she ended up like this, hahaha!"
"Seems like it's better to keep a low profile in the future, lest we end up like Third Miss Mu, provoking someone we can't afford to."
