Chapter 4863: 5.0615 Gathering

"Is Steward Gu alright?" A few fellow workers glanced behind him and whispered, "What about Miss? Was Miss really thrown into the sea by them?"

In their eyes, this was too cruel. Throwing a young girl with no cultivation whatsoever directly into the sea was tantamount to watching her die.

They hadn't expected this trip to be so dangerous; the entire Fang family of three...

Alas, what was the point of Old Master Fang having such a large business and earning so much money before? It couldn't buy back the lives of his family of three.

Steward Gu's eyes welled up with tears. He shook his head, his voice choked, "Miss also had an episode."

"What?"

"Miss nearly lunged and bit me. If not for a few guards holding her down tightly, I might have been bitten."

Sister Yang and the others all changed color.

To ordinary people, the biggest characteristic of a corpse puppet mutation was mindlessly biting people.

As long as one was bitten by a corpse puppet, the corpse toxin would enter the other person's body, and that person would also suffer misfortune.

Therefore, corpse puppets themselves weren't scary; what was most terrifying was their contagiousness.

"Are you alright, Steward Gu?" A few people whispered, their eyes filled with horror.

When Young Master Qin Wu approached with pastries, he saw these people gathered in twos and threes, whispering.

He paid them little attention and went directly to Qiao Mu.

He saw that the young girl was already eating breakfast. "Little Qiao, why are you up so early today?"

Wasn't the little poker face habitually supposed to sleep until the end of the Chen hour (7-9 AM), only getting up around the Si hour (9-11 AM)?

"I'm full," the little one said expressionlessly.

Unaccountably, Qin Xiu read a subtle sense of distant aloofness in the poker face's eyes.

What's going on?

She was fine yesterday, but this morning, the little poker face was already giving him the cold shoulder!

"Young Master, three or four large ships have arrived on the beach."

"Many people have disembarked."

"It seems the news of the Sacred Lotus Realm opening has spread throughout the Three Continents." Young Master Qin Da nonchalantly put down his cup and walked out.

"Did anything special happen today?"

"Yes. Today, Young Master Wu brought breakfast to Miss Qiao, but he was rejected." The guard followed behind the Young Master and explained the situation.

Young Master Qin Da paused, sighing with a deep gaze.

He reached out to lift the tent flap. A cold wind blew, gently fluttering his fine hair.

Qin Xuan covered his forehead with one hand, squinting his eyes to look into the distance.

Dust was blown in gusts of wind, scattering everywhere and getting into people's eyes.

"It seems the wind is picking up," the guard mumbled softly behind him.

Qin Xuan slowly nodded. "Indeed, the wind is picking up."

"Family Head."

"Family Head!!"

Mu Lixiang and Mu Yuan Yuan, following behind the Mu family's procession, saw Qiao Mu's figure from afar and quickly ran towards the camp.

Other Mu family members, seeing this, also quickly followed, swarming into a circle and standing beside Qiao Mu, greeting her one by one.

Qiao Mu nodded repeatedly in response to everyone.

Young Mu Wuzi, with a hint of arrogance on his round face, raised his neck and exclaimed, "Although you've already taken over as our Mu family's Family Head. But if you want me to acknowledge you, hmph, you still need to achieve something."

Mu Family Teng said with a look of yearning, "What more achievements do we need? The Family Head is someone who can continuously break through to the highest floor of the Chaoyang Tower, and can even draw sacred-grade golden talismans in the air!"
