Patriarch Chen Apologized

For the next few days, Chen Fang used all his connection but was unbale to find anything.

In the end, he even requested his Master Jie from the Imperial Academy to help him in investigation.

Master Jie who is a mid stage Golden Core realm cultivator, and an inner sect elder of the Imperial Academy interrogated every commoner of the streets where Chen Ping's incident happened.

But those commoners would rather die than to tell the name of the culprit of that incident.

From this, Chen Fang's Master Jie guessed that the culprit either has a very terrifying background that makes these commoner very scared to even say his name or they really didn't know the name of the person.

In the end, he just asked how the couple looked like and made a portrait from their half truth and half lie description.

Looking at the portrait in his hand, Master Jie has a terrifying guess.

He is a Golden Core realm cultivator and has a strong memory compared to any Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

And when he took a glance at the figures in the portrait he felt familiar.

As he looked at the portrait the more and more, he felt that the young man in the portrait looked similar to Young Master of Mu Mansion.

But he couldn't dare to confirm his guess.

As an inner sect elder of the Imperial Academy, Master Jie knows very clearly how terrifying Mu Mansion is.

Expect for the Royal family Qin, Kong family of Divine General Kong ,no force in the Qin Empire dare to confront Mu Mansion in terms of martial power.

And as a person from the Imperial Academy, the most famous academy in the empire, Master jie knows that Mu Mansion's ability to stand firm under the scheming of Emperor Qin is no simple matter.

Mu Mansion might be even more terrifying that what they shows on the surface.

Thus he quickly informed Chen Fang.

When he heard that the person his useless youngest brother offended might be the Young Master of the Mu Mansion, he was so shocked and scared that the communication stone in his hand slipped.

He begun to curse his youngest brother, "Fuck....Chen Ping you useless moron, you really dare to offend anyone."

"If you want to die, do it yourself. Why do you want to bring us down with you."

"Trash! Can't you even see the faces of the person before offending him?" 

After cursing Chen Ping for a while, Chen Fang felt that it's not enough. 

So he took out his voice transmission stone and told his father the detail of Master Jie's investigation.

After doing so, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. 

He felt happy just by imagining his father's ugly face when he will know about the person his beloved son has offended.

When Chen Fang told Patriarch Chen about the result of the investigation of his master, Patriarch Chen was drinking tea.

When he heard the surname Mu he was so scared that he spilled out the tea from the mouth.

His face instantly turned dark.

For the first time in his life he had the urge to beat up his youngest son Chen Ping.

But Chen Ping is already half dead and he couldn't bear to lay a hand on him.

Thus Patriarch Chen felt like he is about to explode but he has no way to vent his anger.

Frustrated, he kicked the jade table in front of him into pieces. The next day, Patriarch Chen appeared at the gate of Mu Mansion.

He wore a flattering smile as he requested a meeting with Madam Mu.

At that time, General Mu has gone to the northern borders to assist the army to investigate some recent matters.

Recently, the neighbor Zhou Empire at the northern side of Qin Empire has been restless.

They has been frequently launching small scale attack on the cities near the border which has made General Mu suspicious about what the Zhou Empire has been plotting.

Thus General Mu took Elder Guan and left the Imperial City a week ago to investigate. After General Mu left, the task of managing the family naturally fall in hands of Xunr who hold the Dragon Phoenix Bracelet.

 But Xunr knew nothing about managing a family, Madam Mu brought her with the intension of teaching her properly.

After a weeks of teaching, Xunr has become more experienced in dealing with peoples.

She no longer have the native aura when she is with Mu Tian but was replaced by an air of noblity.

When the servants brought the news of Patriarch Chen's request, Xunr was also beside Madam Mu looking at the reports.

Hearing that the person coming is the head of the Chen family, Madam Mu looked at Xunr, wanting to see her expression.

Although Xunr felt the name familair but she didn't think much about it and focused on the expention list in her hand.

Madam Mu observed her every movement and felt very satisfied with her improvement in just a week.

Although she was happy but her expression was still as serious as before as she ordered the guards to bring Patriarch Chen to the hall.

Soon, the guards brought Patriarch Chen to the hall.

Patriarch Chen bowed to Madam Mu and greeted respectfully.

"Chen Baiyu greets Madam Mu."

"I'm here to apologize for my son's wrong doing."

"He is young and ignorant and don't know the heavens. And might have offened Young Master Mu."

Although Madam Mu has already noticed Patriarch Chen's presence when he entered the hall, she only looked up at him after hearing his apology.

She gave him a polite nod.

"Mr. Chen is too overthinking. My son has already settled the matter and my Mu Mansion has never thought of interfering in young people's matter."

"You can rest assured."

Patriarch Chen felt relived hearing this but he then noticed the girl beside Madam Mu. 

Although he couldn't feel any kind of spiritual energy flactuations from the girl, she has an air of nobliy around her.

With her pure beauty which could be said to be top in the imperial city and the temperment , she looks like a ethernal fairy .

Patriarch Chen immidately gussed her identity.

He hurriedly put on a flattering smile and said,

 "This must be the young mistress. I sincirely apologized to you for my son's wronging."

As soon as he finished, he took out something from his storage ring and presnted it infront of Xunr.

"This small gift is my token of apology. "

"It's a treasure I got from a secret realm after going though a life and death battle."

"I'm giving this to young mistress."

"Young Mistress please accept my small token !"

Xunr , who has been acting like a deaf all the while and was observing Madam Mu was caught off guard by his sudden move.

She originally wanted to learn how to handle this kind of matter from Madam Mu as there will be many people like him in the future who want to flatter Mu Mansion for it's power and she has to deal with them.

But now she has suddenly bocome his terget.

She looked at Madam Mu with look that seems to asking what to do.

Madam Mu nodded her head with a smile ,

 "Take it. It's a good thing."

Getting her permission, Xunr took the item from Patriarch Chen.

Patriarch Chen felt relived when he saw Xunr received the gift.

It was as if the dagger on his throat was suddenly removed.

He countiously thanked Madam Mu for her maganimotity before leaving.

After he left Madam Mu asked Xunr,

"Xunr, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Xunr though for a while and then answered.

"Mother, although he looks like a good person on the surface but I this he is too cunning."

"Although he had been flattering you from the moment he entered the hall, I can see the unwillingness in his eyes."

 "And since he can raise a son like Chen Ping, I don't think he is a good person either."

"I think it's good to avoid interecting with this kind of person."

Madam MU felt very satisfied by her answer.

She grabbed her hand and advised seriously,

"Xunr, you have to observe people deeply when you face this kind of sitation in ther future."

"You will face this kind of people who bully the poor and fear the strong many times in the future."

"You have to manage the family well when mother isn't here in the future."

As soon as Xunr heard the last sentence, her eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Madam Mu and said aggrivoisly,

 "Mother you are still so young. You aren't leaving us. I won't let you."

Madam Mu hurriedly coaxed her.

 She felt like Xunr is still the pure, kindhearted little girl who would cry even at the least bit of grievance.

But she also knows that Xunr only shows this sides of her to the peoples she loves.

She had seen her act like child in front of Mu Tian and also knows how much her son pampers her.

Thinking of her son, that unreliable kid, she felt Mu Mansion is really lacking a little puppy.

"Ummm..Little girl. It's not that mom wants to leave."

"But you know I'm getting older and lonely."

"Why don't you give me a grandchild so that I don't have to be lonely anymore?"

Xunr felt vey embarrased at the mention of child. But there is a hint of anticipation in her heart.

She imagined how their child will look and blushed.

"Mother.Can't you stop teasing me?"

"I'm embarrased."

Madam Mu also knows that she is a shy girl thus she stopped going further as she knows asking more will scare her.
