999 The Return of the King (2)
In the old mansion of the Mu family.
“Hahaha… Good, good, good, that’s great. I knew my disciple and disciple’s wife were very lucky. How could they possibly fall just like that? Those bastards are just jealous of me!”
Seeing Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan return, Taoist Mu Qing burst into laughter, looking exhilarated.
In fact, even though he said before that nothing would happen to his disciple and his disciple’s wife, he was actually not confident. Now that he saw the two of them return safely, he finally felt relieved.
“I’m sorry, Master, for making you worry. Ah Yan and I got an opportunity in the ancient tomb, so we delayed our return for more than half a year.” Lu Zijia explained briefly with an apologetic look. She didn’t intend to talk about their spiritual cultivation.
After all, Taoist Mu Qing and the others didn’t have spiritual roots. It was basically impossible for them to successfully activate their spiritual roots.
Mu Tianyan was a good example.
If it weren’t for the help of the Divine Dragon Bloodline and the Unity Array, her man would probably have really died.
So, rather than letting Taoist Mu Qing and the others feel like they had missed out on something, it was better not to tell them.
Taoist Mu Qing and the others couldn’t help feeling happy for the two of them when they heard that.
Especially Taoist Mu Qing, who was Mu Tianyan’s master. A smile was about to bloom on his old face.
Seeing him smile so proudly, the Fourth Elder and the others were envious and had the urge to beat him up.
Damn, he was simply attracting too much hatred!
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lu Zijia asked about the current situation of the new Mu family.
At the mention of this, Taoist Mu Qing and the others were furious and told them everything that happened in the past six months.
However, his explanation was different from the men Lu Zijia asked before. Yes, it was the complete opposite.
It was true that the main family of the Mu family, the Gu family and the Cao family joined forces to suppress the new Mu family, but the real reason why the three families joined forces wasn’t for the so-called righteousness, but for private matters.
And this private matter seemed to have a lot to do with the Cao family, because the Cao family was the party which took the initiative to join forces with the main Mu family and the Gu family.
Apart from the suppression of the new Mu family, the Song family, the Zhang family, and the Du family, who had dealings with the new Mu family, were also affected a lot.
For the safety of the Du family, Taoist Mu Qing stayed put and brought all the members of the Du family to the main family of the Zhang family to protect them.
As for the Song family, an elder and dozens of disciples of the Zhang family also stepped forward to protect them.
After hearing what happened, Lu Zijia and the man next to her looked at each other silently.
Sensing the difference between the two of them, Taoist Mu Qing couldn’t help asking, “Did you think of something?”
“It might be related to us.” A dark glint flashed through Mu Tianyan’s deep eyes and he moved his thin lips.
“It’s related to you?! How is it related to you?” The Fourth Elder of the Mu family looked confused.
When it happened, the couple hadn’t returned. How could it be related to them?
Lu Zijia shrugged. “We had a conflict with Cao Fei’er and the others in the ancient tomb.”
Something came to Lu Zijia’s mind and the corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. “She might be angry out of humiliation.”
Cao Fei’er kept saying that she liked her man, but in the end, this was how she showed her affection?
Tsk, this interest of hers was really unique!
Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed through Lu Zijia’s eyes, making people shudder.
When they were in the ancient tomb, they were worried that killing Cao Fei’er and the others would attract the elders of the Upper Martial Arts Realm.
