Chapter 4846: Concern

"Yes," Murong Zhao said with a look of disbelief. "Two years ago, when Big Brother was in secluded cultivation, the Fang family sent someone to break off the engagement. They said the young lady couldn't wait, worried that Big Brother might remain in secluded cultivation for decades, and it wouldn't be good to keep the marriage delayed."

Murong Fei nodded; he was also very clear about this matter.

Back then, the Fang family had come with people to demand an explanation, and their father had looked embarrassed and offered apologies.

Big Brother and that Miss Fang were never quite a good match. With Big Brother's current cultivation in the Profound Venerable realm, he likely had several hundred years ahead of him...

Miss Fang, having never cultivated, was just an ordinary person and could absolutely not accompany him through his entire life.

Therefore, he remembered that when the Fang family proposed to break off the engagement, their father had readily agreed.

So why was this Steward Gu now speaking in such a familiar tone, bringing up this marriage again?

Could it be that Miss Fang couldn't get married, and afterward, the old master of the Fang family regretted it? And seeing Big Brother emerge from seclusion, they then thought of rekindling this engagement and re-establishing ties with their Murong clan?

This was simply too ridiculous.

Murong Fei couldn't help but shake her head, then suddenly remembered something and quickly walked to the little stoic's side, smiling. "Little girl, I remember where I've seen you before."

Murong Fei's eyes sparkled as she said, "I once reviewed all the information about everyone in my aunt's Sacred Water Sect."

"You're my little aunt's personal disciple, aren't you?"

At Murong Fei's mention, Murong Zhao's memory also clicked. He quickly nodded, "Yes, no wonder she looked so familiar. So she's a disciple of the Sacred Water Sect."

Qiao Mu glanced at them, pretending to ask casually, "You all know about Master's situation?"

Murong Fei put away her playful expression and nodded seriously. "The destruction of the Sacred Water Sect back then was a huge blow to Father and several uncles."

"Our family sent people to Sikong Star to investigate the truth, but at that time, the entire Sacred Water Peak was covered in withered vines and ancient trees. The main peak was razed to the ground, leaving few traces. However, we could still deduce some clues from it."

Murong Fei said gravely, "Our clan has always had dedicated people investigating this matter. After meticulous investigation and a period of close observation, we followed the clues all the way to the direction of Shuntian Prefecture."

"However, when we went, the entire Six Prefectures were quite turbulent. There was a secret force, sweeping through the Six Prefectures continent with overwhelming momentum. Now, the jurisdiction is entirely under the control of the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture."

Murong Zhao nodded. "To ascertain the cause of our little aunt's death, we had no choice but to secretly capture that Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture."

"What??" Qiao Mu had been listening all along, not offering any opinions.

Only a faint sense of melancholy lingered in her heart.

This was the correct way to treat family, wasn't it?

Regardless of the reasons, Murong Xun had left the Wangchuan Murong family to develop in the lower star region.

But Murong Xun's whereabouts had always been a concern for the family.

Once they received news of her "death," they would surely send people to track and investigate.

Not every family was as cold as the Wangchuan Long Clan was towards her mother, right?

At this moment, suddenly hearing what Murong Zhao said about capturing the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Qiao Mu couldn't help but raise her voice.

Oh my god, no way?

She had been so busy herself recently that she hadn't contacted Dun Zhu in a long time.

Could it be that old man Dun Zhu was captured?
