Chapter 4628: 5.0380 Tired of Living
His gloomy old eyes widened instantly, and his body tensed completely. Just now, the terrifying premonition of immense danger made his heart pound, prompting him to instinctively retreat so many steps, barely fending off that fierce blow. In the instant the light element exploded, a wild, chaotic energy permeated the space, making everyone tremble with fear.
The old man felt the hand holding his longsword trembling slightly, a result of the impact from that force. But, but that five or six-year-old girl beside the little brat, how could such a tiny kid possess such terrifying explosive power? This is a little monster, isn't it?!
"Wait!" Seeing the little monster narrow her eyes, ready to strike again, Master Mou Yang hastily called out, speaking loudly, "Little, little girl, stop! This old man didn't come to deceive the little stoic. I, I really caught someone!"
Master Mou Yang stated sternly, "Although those two, Mu Qingya and her daughter, fled, she has another daughter who I had brought over. You should take a look first before you speak."
"Whether she's useful or not isn't something you can decide with a single word."
Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow slightly at his words, her gaze shifting towards the doorway. She saw two strong men dragging a barely breathing woman into the room. Without any regard for her, they tossed the woman in front of Qiao Mu, then turned and exited.
Mou Yang's eyes flickered as he looked at Qiao Mu. "How about it, take a look! This is the biological daughter of Hall Master Mu, whom you wanted. If we detain this person…"
Qiao Mu looked at Mu Ruanxuan in surprise. It had been a while since they last met, and Mu Ruanxuan looked utterly miserable. Not only did she have a new scar on her face, but her entire body seemed to be covered in injuries. Her face was very pale, and she stared at Qiao Mu blankly, not even bothering to curse at her.
Their gazes met. Mu Ruanxuan actually gave her a weak smile. Qiao Mu immediately felt as if the sun might have risen from the west. Mu Ruanxuan actually smiled at her? Didn't she despise her the most? Despise her for "stealing" her identity as the Mu family's eldest daughter, despise her appearance, despise the fact that she, someone from a lower star domain, could overshadow all her brilliance and seize all the talents, intelligence, and other honors she valued.
"Aunt-Master, this person's words are insincere and utterly detestable! This Mu Ruanxuan was clearly discarded by Mu Qingya, yet this old man is lying through his teeth in front of me! He insists on arguing with me!" The little stoic complained indignantly to Little Nitian.
Qin Nitian, without a word, raised her hand and delivered a powerful slap through the air. With a crack, five distinct little handprints appeared on the old man's cheek. There wasn't much pain, but the humiliation was truly enraging, almost causing him to faint from sheer anger.
The little stoic's eyes flickered, her gaze falling on the old man with significant meaning. [I knew Mu Qingya's special ability was remote monitoring.] [Mu Qingya clearly saw the old man accept her deal and come to capture her. But does this Hall Master Mu truly believe she can escape from the Forgetfulness Sea Realm?]
The show had just begun; it was merely an overture. The little stoic's cold gaze settled on the old man as she suddenly cried out, "Aunt-Master, this old man has been bullying me!"
"He suppressed me with his spiritual power and even tried to snatch my personal divine domain!"
