Chapter 3626: 4.1226 Luring the Snake out of its Hole

"Perhaps Clear Sky Gate is simply a branch of Heavenly Fortune."

"Or, Clear Sky Gate is a faction controlled by an important member within Heavenly Fortune."

Qiao Mu turned and nodded slightly at her elder brother.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she gazed deeply at Mu Xingchen, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Big brother, what do you think? What evidence will Shi Huixin leave for us? Do you think her words are credible?"

Mu Xingchen's expression didn't change at all. He just stared into Qiao Mu's bright eyes for less than half a second before naturally picking up the conversation. "I think it should be credible."

"Since she wants to protect her two daughters, of course, she wouldn't dare to hide anything from us."

"After all, Qiao Qiao can control the future and lives of her two daughters, can't she?"

Qiao Mu nodded coldly, pressing her hand on the table and sitting down, indicating complete agreement with her brother's statement.

Clang!

She tossed several shattered jade talismans onto the table, her eyes icy as she murmured, "The lightning-attracting talisman's power is quite good. Mu Jingfeng, you deserve this retribution."

With these three bolts of heavenly lightning, Mu Jingfeng's cultivation meant that more than half of his meridians would undoubtedly be destroyed.

To slowly recover, it would be impossible without at least a year and a half.

Not everyone was like Qiao Qiao, able to withstand lightning strikes and heavenly retribution...

A moment later, Aoye rushed in with a team of people, cupping his hands to Qiao Mu. "We found something, Crown Princess."

Qiao Mu's expression softened. She nodded faintly at him, extending her small hand to take a wrinkled letter from Aoye.

After tearing it open and quickly glancing through it, Qiao Mu's expression solidified. She then handed the letter directly to Aoye. "Go arrange it. We must make contact with the person tonight."

"Yes!" Aoye grasped the letter in his hand, bowed, waved his hand, and led a group of Purple Forest Guards out to make arrangements.

"Crown Princess, are you not returning to the Qiao family tonight?" Cai Xiu asked in a low voice.

Qiao Mu nodded gravely. "Send a message to my mother. I have important matters to attend to tonight."

Gilded Jade Court

Mu Jingfeng lay on the brocade couch like a pile of mud, groaning for a long while.

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun shone through the window, making one a little dizzy.

Mu Jingfeng pounded the brocade couch with his hand and angrily shouted, "Where are the people? Where has everyone gone?"

"Master." Mammy Qiu hurried in with two young maids.

Cong Lu, moreover, was holding a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup. "Master."

"I'll do it." Mu Qingya also walked in through the door at this moment. She nodded at Mammy Qiu and the others, saying, "You can go down for now."

"Madam."

"Go." Mu Qingya ordered faintly.

Mammy Qiu and the others exchanged glances, then quickly put down the medicine bowl and withdrew in turn.

Only the groaning Mu Jingfeng and the silent Mu Qingya remained in the room.

"Water, I want water, water!" Mu Jingfeng struggled to turn his head and glared at his wife.

His wife couldn't possibly still be shocked by what just happened. Even her movements were a bit slower than usual, causing Mu Jingfeng to be displeased.

"Master, here's your water." Mu Qingya handed a bowl of tea to Mu Jingfeng's lips.

Mu Jingfeng took a sip from the teacup before shouting and forcefully swatting Mu Qingya's hand away.

The teacup clattered to the ground.
