Chapter 4481: 5.0233 Eliminating a Menace

"Then I truly want to see what interesting reaction she'll have when her own daughter's fate is manipulated, withered and fading against her will."

Mo Lian's warm large hand enveloped her small one. "Qiao Qiao, the Elder Zhuang by her side is at the late stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm. Don't confront him alone."

Qiao Mu stroked the small white snake that had returned to coil around her wrist, nodding. "I know."

That he could withstand three fierce attacks from the little white snake clearly indicated he was a Transcendent Realm expert. Mu Qingya must value this daughter immensely, otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically found a late-stage Immortal Venerable powerhouse to protect her.

"Husband, guess what. If she sees her own daughter's fate being controlled, withering and fading against her will, will she go mad?"

Mo Lian sneered. "How could a cold-hearted woman like her worry for her children? You should know her attitude towards Mu Rou. She's a utterly ruthless, self-serving woman, quite unlike your mother or any normal mother in the world. You can't use the standard of an ordinary mother to think about this woman, otherwise, you'll inevitably suffer losses."

Qiao Mu felt the Crown Prince's analysis was spot-on and quickly nodded. "I understand. Then tormenting that Mu Xiaoxue probably won't be very useful. She won't feel any pain for her."

The Crown Prince's eyes were icy. He held her and looked up into the distance at the teleportation charm array where Mu Xiaoxue and the others had escaped.

"These people have strong connections with the upper echelons of Tianyun. If we encounter them, we'll simply deal with them. It can be considered eliminating a menace for the people."

Qiao Mu nodded, her earlier thought of playing with Mu Xiaoxue instantly dimming significantly. Just those ghost spirits would be enough to give their group a tough time.

"But Qiao Qiao, are you truly certain that Mu what's-her-name is Mu Qingya's youngest daughter?" Though, come to think of it, Qiao Qiao's instincts truly are quite accurate every time.

Qiao Mu nodded, stating definitively, "They're too similar."

"Similar?" Mo Lian was a bit puzzled.

Actually, judging purely by appearance, that little princess of Shadow City truly didn't resemble Mu Qingya at all. What Qiao Qiao meant by "similar" must be a spiritual resemblance, Mo Lian thought. He held her hand and smiled faintly, not pressing further. He just needed to trust his Qiao.

"Little Senior Sister, don't worry. Those people can't escape the secret realm, nor can they run too far," the plump ball rolled closer, his angry expression still not entirely gone.

"I observed carefully just now. It seems there isn't that master specializing in formations in their group. I think they were likely hiding nearby, peeking, and seeing things go bad, they ran away first."

"Let's first enter Master's tomb's main control room to see where they ran off to. Leave it to me, I can definitely help you catch them all to vent your anger!" The plump ball had no integrity, spilling all the secrets of Master's tomb.

Qiao Mu looked at him now with a bit more approval. They had already fought and kicked, settling their grievances. Since this person in front of her was Ancestor Tianjizi's disciple, she would tentatively consider him her Senior Brother.

"Plump Senior Brother," Qiao Mu's small face was stiff. "Lead the way."

"Alrighty!" The plump ball responded, then suddenly realized, a joyous smile breaking out on his face. He was so happy he almost jumped up and danced. "L-Little Senior Sister, what did you just call me?"

"Hahaha, did you hear that? Little Senior Sister called me Senior Brother!"
