Chapter 4103: 4.1703 The Oddball Emerges
Qiao Mu, following the cheerfully chatting chubby boy and Qi Xuanxuan, suddenly stopped at the entrance of Cai Feng Yuan.
Suddenly, a thin figure appeared in front of her, stumbled, and quickly regained balance.
The person looked up blankly, surveying the surroundings. When they came to their senses, they saw the little Crown Prince Consort standing before them, got a fright, and hastily bowed, saying, "Cr-Crown Prince Consort?"
Qiao Mu nodded expressionlessly.
"W-Where am I?" Strange, shouldn't he be in the Mu family's ancestral land?
"Hey, young man, are you... a child of the Mu family?" The chubby boy walked forward curiously and patted his shoulder.
The person nodded quickly, then looked at the little Crown Prince Consort with a puzzled expression. "Crown Prince Consort, may I ask, what, what is this place?"
"This is Jiawei City."
The other person immediately looked even more bewildered, probably with a million expletives rushing through their mind.
My heavens, how did he end up in this dangerous place, the black market of Jiawei City, after a period of training in the Chaoyang Tower?
It's said that there are no city rules in Jiawei City, and people here settle matters with their fists.
Whoever has the bigger fist has the louder voice.
Every day, countless people die violent deaths due to quarrels and fights.
"C-Can I ask, how, how did I end up here?" the thin man asked with a strange expression.
Qiao Mu remained silent.
Mo Lian, beside her, couldn't help but twitch his lips, suppressing a smile as he said, "You are... Mu Jiateng, right?"
"Ah, exactly." Mu Jiateng, of course, recognized the Crown Prince and quickly bowed again to him. "Your Highness, I am Mu Jiateng, from a collateral branch of the Mu family."
"Some time ago, I had the good fortune to go to the Chaoyang Tower set up by the Chaoyang ancestor for training, and I made it all the way to the forty-ninth floor!" Mu Jiateng seemed very pleased, and couldn't help but smile as he said this. He continued, "I wonder how everyone else is doing now?"
"Oh, by the way, Crown Prince Consort, you also entered the Chaoyang Tower back then, didn't you? I wonder which floor the Crown Prince Consort reached..."
"Ninety-nine."
Mu Jiateng's mouth instantly fell open, wide enough to fit a duck egg.
"Pl-Please, what was the highest, highest floor... again?"
"Ninety-nine," Lord Qiaoqiao replied expressionlessly. "You've been in the Chaoyang Tower for a full two months."
"Everyone else has already come out."
Yes, this person was Mu Jiateng, who had entered the Chaoyang Tower for training with Lord Qiaoqiao and only now completed his challenge.
It wasn't that Lord Qiaoqiao wanted to complain about this person, but rather that his personality was simply too slow!
Even a tortoise could crawl faster than him!
It might sound ridiculous, but because this person was unbelievably slow, Lord Qiaoqiao had even specifically gone to the Chaoyang Tower to secretly observe him.
She found that this person was indeed diligently going through the challenges, working hard, cultivating, challenging, and then working hard again...
She...
Was speechless!
The reason this person was slow was that after clearing each floor, he would steadily go into seclusion to cultivate for a while.
Before fully recovering all his spiritual power, this person would absolutely not rashly attempt the next floor!
Therefore, the higher up one went, the more dangerous the place became, with countless mechanisms in the Chaoyang Tower that were difficult to decipher. This person relied on a toughness and willpower that ordinary people almost lacked, steadily advancing. With this peculiar talent, he reached the forty-ninth floor.
